Is that a Wisp?

Krune wasn't the only one who entered the Golden Stars level. Both Feifei and Heavin had achieved the same thing. Heavin was now considered a One Golden Stars Puppeteer, while Feifei was even further as a Four Golden Stars Formations Master.

Feifei's case is totally expected. Her laws are very well developed, only losing to Krune. She was also using her Destiny Major Divine Soul in the process, so her rate of improvement was to be this fast, at least.

She could have gone even further, but because of the baby, Feifei has to stop to absorb Spiritual Energy several times.

As for Heavin, he partnered up with Krune. Heavin was making the designs of the puppets while Krune created the parts with his Purple Flames. Of course, Puppets used other materials that aren't metals, so Heavin had to create those by himself.

Still, with the addition of the metallic parts made with Purple Flame, Heavin's puppets increased in level by quite a lot.

"Heavin, when are you planning to upgrade the parrot?"

Heavin pondered a bit and then said.

"It is still too early. Thanks to the laws that we know, I'm sure I can reach the peak of the Golden Stars. It will be best if I can upgrade to this level. Also, a Peak Golden Stars parrot with the metallic parts made with Purple Flame is bound to be very strong. I won't need to keep looking in the sidelines anymore since I will also be able to help."

Krune nodded.

"By the way, how is the Soul Cultivation Technique research going?"

Heavin immediately got excited by that question.

"It's going great! With the last examples that I got from Mohie Zarks Inheritance, I'm very close to creating a basic version. But I also found out something very interesting!"

"I believe... that I can move my conscience away from the Divine Soul. Simply put, I will be able to separate from you."

Krune was taken aback.

"Is that really possible? Wouldn't I lose my Divine Soul instead?"

Heavin shook his head.

"If my plan works, I will be able to move my conscience to one side of the Divine Soul and then cut it off. After that, I just need you or Feifei to move it to one of my puppets. From that moment on, I will be me, and you are going to be you."

Krune still had a doubt, though.

"But isn't the Heavenly Fragment inside the Our Elemental Divine Soul? I always thought that your conscience was attached to it. Or to be more specific, I thought that your conscience was born from it."

Heavin nodded.

"It is, but that is why I told you I need to reach the Soul Control Realm. Once I do that, I can move my consciousness away. That also means I can free myself from the Heavenly Fragment, or so I believe. This thing is a hot potato, and I want to stay as far as possible from it."

Krune's eyes immediately lit up!

"That would be great! I can use my Purple Flame Life Dew pill to heal my Divine Soul Straight away after the separation. What do you need for this plan to work?"

Heavin nodded.

"For that, I just need to reach the fifth Realm with my Soul Cultivation Technique."

Krune got puzzled.

"Fifth Realm?"

It was then that Heavin remembered that he hasn't mentioned his progress with the Soul Cultivation technique for a long time already.

"My Soul Cultivation Technique has been devised to go up to five realms so far. Of course, I intend to create more Realms in the future, but for now, I'm focusing on those five. Different from conventional Cultivation Techniques, my one only has Five Stages for each of them. Of course, since it is a different system, some of the names are also different."

"The first one I still kept Qi Condensation. After all, it simply uses Spiritual Energy to advance through the Five Stages."

"The Second One I also kept similar, which is Soul Foundation. But different from the normal Foundation Establishment, the Soul Foundation will not give birth to a Core for the next Realm."

"The third one is where the main difference between systems start. I called it Soul Enhancement Realm. It also uses Elemental Source Energy from this point onwards. By the way, I will be starting directly in this Realm. After all, I'm already a Divine Soul that can create Elemental Source Energy, so I don't need to pass through the first two realms. This Realm will strengthen the Soul to prepare for what is coming in the next one."

"The Fourth Realm is called Soul Transformation. This is a Realm where the Soul has to be changed. The reason for that is because up to this point, the Soul can only do so much. If I don't change it, I won't be able to advance any further. This was also the part I spent more time until now and the one in which I have the most significant concerns. If not for this Realm, I would have already started cultivation my Soul Technique. Oh, right! It is also quite similar to the transformation of the Soul Forging Realm of the normal Cultivation System."

"Finally, the Fifth Stage is Soul Control. Only in this Realm, I will be able to move my conscience at will. That is the moment where we will be able to separate from each other."

Heavin then took out the information regarding each Realm and showed it to Krune. Although Krune still has some doubts, he has to admit that Heavin's work so far is fantastic. He accounted for every possible flaw. But what really caught his attention was the safety insurances. Heavin made sure to devise a way to revert the process in case something started to go wrong during a Realm Breakthrough. So even if things got risky, he could go back to the start point.

Another thing that Krune noticed is that the Soul Realms are not in parallel with the normal Cultivation Realms. For example, Chaos energy is necessary to cultivate the 6th Realm, Void Breaking. But Heavin's Soul Control, which is the 5th Realm, also needed Chaos Energy. That means that Heavin won't be able to enter the Soul Control Realm before Krune becomes able to create Chaos Energy himself.

After reading everything, Krune started to give his own opinions. Quite a few suggestions came out, and Heavin made sure to record each of them. It wasn't before an entire day of discussion that the two of them finally finished that conversation.

"Well, I guess this is as far as I can help you with. So I only hope everything goes okay."

Heavin nodded.

"That was more than enough already. You even helped me with a few points of the Fourth Realm. Don't worry, I will definitely make it work."

Krune nodded and exchanged a few more words with Heavin before he went back to his Blacksmith practice.

---

Another month went by, and today, Krune got a message from Feifei.

"Tiane has finally laid down her Egg!"

Sure enough, it was just as Tiane had predicted, it took her more than five months for her body to finish creating the Egg.

Krune was surprised with that information, so he stopped what he was doing and went back with Heavin to take a look. After arriving there, he noticed that Tiane was lying down on it while several Spirit Stones were surrounding them. It was also obvious to Krune that Tiane looked quite tired.

"Seems like bringing an egg out is quite hard."

Feifei was too happy to rebuke Krune for that comment, though.

"Now that the Egg is out, we can feel its cultivation very clearly."

Krune agreed with Feifei. He could totally tell that the Egg was at the 5th Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Also, it was easy to see that Cinty was correct. The biggest majority of the Spiritual Energy absorbed was being completely wasted. Just a little bit was added to the little guy's cultivation inside the Egg. Krune could also see that some of the Spiritual Energy were being used on the body as well. Probably to strengthen it.

Krune got close and touched the Egg. Tiane saw that but didn't say anything, she was too tired to even talk at the moment. After sending his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense inside, Krune could finally see an outline of the creature. He couldn't help but smile.

"So it really is similar to a Quetzalcoatl."

In th end, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, it seems like this guy doesn't have two heads as Ruik does, though."

Ruik, of course, was there as well.

"Hmph! So what? He still has this handsome grandfather's serpent body. That is enough."

Krune was surprised.

"He? So it is a male?"

Ruik nodded.

"Yes, his serpent body seems very similar to mine. Although it is far from being fully formed, I can already tell that he is bound to be a male."

Krune then laughed once more.

"As long as he doesn't sleep as much as you, I guess it is okay."

Heavin also flew beside the Egg and looked at it and Tiane's Demon Crow body with interest.

'So that's how a bird type should be. I guess I will try something different later.'

Krune went back to Feifei's side and looked at her. After five months, her belly looked quite apparent. She was also correct about the time. From its rate of growth, Krune was sure that Feifei wouldn't be giving birth in just nine months.

"How is it?"

Feifei nodded and said.

"Pretty much okay. She is growing well, but I believe that the pregnancy will take around one year instead of nine months. So I will need to carry this little girl for an extra three months."

Krune and Feifei already noticed what the baby's gender is. So the only thing they were in doubt so far is what name they should give her.

As for how the baby looked, it did have the human shape, at least. However, they still remember Cinty's comment from before. So they are quite curious to see how she will look like.

But there was one thing that made Krune worried. The Five Years' time after arriving at Dilan has passed already. That means that both he and Feifei might be feeling the presence of one of the Heavenly Fragment owners at any moment. Of course, the opposite would also be the case.

Feifei could obviously understand what Krune was thinking.

"Don't worry too much. Even if they end noticing me first, they will soon find out that I'm in the Wisp Main World. Everyone who isn't from the Wisp Race needs permission to land on the Wisp Main World. So we should be fine."

Krune nodded and put those thoughts behind. He had long since prepared everything he could. Only his Shields were left now.

Suddenly, Krune's communicator flashed. He took it out and saw a message on it. He couldn't help but smile after seeing that.

"It seems like one of my preparations has just arrived."
