Chapter 1338 Key to the Supercontinent
"Where… am I?" Slowly, a small fragmented core muttered with a weak, groggy voice.
"In heaven. You've died?" soon came another, slightly sharper groggy voice.
"How… did I die?" the small voice asked.
"Breakfast," the sharper voice replied. "You forgot to make breakfast. That's why."
"Why didn't I make breakfast?" The small voice regained some strength to speak fully.
"Because you were spending time on stupid names," the sharper voice replied.
"But, they weren't stupid names," the small voice said in resistance.
"Only if they come out of my mouth. Since you said it, they're stupid names." The sharper voice snorted, displaying obvious displeasure.
"Lightning Wrath of Heavenly Turtle is a stellar name, big sis," the small voice retorted.
"You buffoon, it should have been Heavenly Wrath of the Lightning Turtle." The sharper voice cursed in response. "You really screwed up at that moment."
"Names that start with Lightning are more impactful," the small voice said in displeasure. "Even if you're my big sis, I won't concede against you on this matter."
"Huh? The tribulation was from the heavens. So, of course, the name should start with heaven," the sharper voice mocked the other's intelligence.
"But the attack was through lightning. So, it should have started with lightning…" The small voice raised its tone.
"…guys…?" Zamura frowned as he stared as the two cores wrecked beyond recognition, jumping up and down on the Cultivation Lotus, arguing nonstop as their voice resounded like faint squeaks to Zamura.
"Are you able to talk now?" Zamura asked, watching a weak ethereal body form on both the cores.
"I need a lot of time to recover from this," Krune said, noticing that even his ethereal body was unstable, displaying the extent of his damage. Or rather…
"Good, there wasn't any reaction from the both of you for three months now," Zamura said, sighing in relief. "I almost thought the two of you had died."
It was apparent that they had blanked out completely from the tribulation to the extent they weren't even aware of how long they had been asleep.
"Our Land Incarnations are still intact. At most, we'll revive and attempt our breakthrough a second time," Krune said, laughing in the process. "There's still the Sub-Realm's rewards that we can use to boost ourselves further."
"That's not possible anymore," Zamura told him, sighing. "It's done."
"What's done?" Krune asked, confused.
"The war's done," Zamura replied.
"You're kidding, right? This isn't something like breakfast. It's war, WAR!" Krune retorted at the nonchalance Zamura used.
"Once their Primal Gods reached the First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm, the three continents surrendered," Zamura said, sporting a wry smile. "I lent Faunkill one of our Cultivation Lotuses to replenish the Godly Energy he used while attacking the three Emperors. When the rest of our Primal Gods defended against the attacks from their nine Primal Gods, he casually replenished his Godly Energy reserves before targetting four more Primal Gods."
"But this time, he ensured the effect wasn't displayed until he could replenish his Godly Energy. The last batch of Primal Gods were the weakest among the lot, so he targeted all five," Zamura said after that, sighing.
"Following that was a scene of all the Primal Gods breaking into tears. And in their hurry, they took out their weapons to use…" Zamura said, suddenly sporting a smug expression. "Basically, we got some strong sect members from that."
"Good for you." Krune rolled his eyes after hearing that. "So…what now?"
"We're waiting for the three continents to merge together. The process would actually take eighty years. In the meantime, we're planning to recruit the mortals of the three continents into our ranks. That way, we'll gradually win their hearts by then. Eighty years is more than enough time to bring everyone not an immortal from the three continents under our control."
"In other words, Mountain Sect is the ruler of the three continents now," he continued. "Also, mom, Rumria, and Guria have already revealed themselves to the immortals from the three continents, convincing the immortals at the Semi-God Realm and the God Trial Realm to already join us."
"What about the Elementary Gods?" Krune asked.
"They are repeating their cultivation…" Zamura coughed. "Same goes for the God Trial Realm and Semi-God Realm cultivators that were too loyal to the three Emperors."
"Thankfully, Faunkill has a no-kill policy. With Zela there, he's under control. He has promised that he would reverse their cultivation once they fully accept to fall under the Mountain Sect's rule," Zamura spoke.
"But, we're somewhat trampling on their culture and way of living. I feel bad about that," Krune said before hearing the raucous laughter of Zamura.
"Rumria would be the representative of the Rumria Continent region in the formed supercontinent. Similarly, Guria and mom would take their respective roles." He laughed in response. "All three continents pretty much have the same culture as they are sister continents. We aren't changing a damn thing."
"Well, there just won't be those three royal families. Instead, it'll be the Mountain Sect at the top. Nothing else would change." He added, "Besides, this level of change is necessary since the continents themselves are changing."
"Plus..." He said in anger, "Due to the war, all the resources throughout the three continents have been pillaged and stored in the capitals. That move damaged the foundation of the continents. If not for this merge, that damage would have continued to pile up. Had the war dragged on for another century, the damage would have become irreversible."
'Right, this guy's more concerned about nature than people,' Krune thought before nodding in response, supporting Zamura.
The three Emperors had already damaged the continents too much due to the war. So it was time to rectify the changes. Thankfully, with the merge, the foundation would not only be restored but would also be elevated further to reach the level of a supercontinent.
"Oh yeah, what about that Sub-Realm?" Having been silent all along, Sterlena asked. "Are we able to enter it yet? What about that key and the secret to reaching the God Realm?"
"It seems the Sub-Realm itself is the key," Zamura replied. "So, it'll merge into the three continents and use the entirety of its power to wholly elevate the fused region into a supercontinent."
"As for the secret to reaching the God Realm…" Zamura smirked. "I already have it in my possession. Well, it's currently sealed. So, everyone is waiting for the two of you to recover before unsealing it."
