Chapter 1527 Krune’s Gigantic Flex "Think of our offer," an anonymous entity in the Soul Trading Hub said.
"Yes…" The other party nodded in response, watching the anonymous entity leave. Cutting off the connection, the entity's soul returned to reality, revealing a middle-aged man with a rust-colored complexion, one that sighed in worry.
"Both the Mong Realm and Garg Realm after the same thing." He sighed in worry.
His worries included paying an exorbitant tax to the Mong Realm or paying a tenth of the taxes to the Garg Realm but offending the Mong Realm in response. Both were horrible options with similar damage dealt to their realm.
"It's only because our Bolg Realm is weak." He sighed, feeling powerless.
The Bolg Realm was situated in a rather prime location, allowing it to develop well. However, it was a young realm that didn't even know of the existence of the other realms until recently.
Only through the Soul Trading Hub did they become aware of that. Even though they were a young realm, they still had 20 Gods.
Though, their strength was largely lacking. After all, they hadn't even developed into Body and Soul Cultivation. And only after connecting to the Soul Trading Hub did they even realize the existence of these two paths of cultivation.
Currently, the one that conversed with the Mong and Garg Realm was named Borgunel, the strongest of their realm. Then again, his strength meant naught in the grand scale of things.
After all, any random Mong Realm God could wipe out the floor with him. It was because of a simple reason. One that cultivated Mental Energy could casually destroy the mind of one without it.
It was how until the Kun Realm began to wholly develop Soul Cultivation, they couldn't even detect the foreigners amongst them.
The situation was the same in Bolg Realm, with them grasping for straws to gain any method to cultivate the Body and Soul. For the Kun Realm, even though they were unaware, Hishe had embarked on Body Cultivation while Soren did the same for Soul Cultivation.
Once they obtained the related information, they quickly adapted to the intelligence gained from the invaders, creating the means to detect, adapt, and even counter them.
That's how they rapidly deconstructed the Spark and created their own version, the Heavenly Spark.
With that, Krune even publicized the Laughing Tower before the God King himself by killing his son through it.
It was because they already had the necessary foundation all along. And once the spark was ignited, they quickly exploded in growth.
But unfortunately, the Bolg Realm didn't have anything of the sort. Hence, Borgunel was in low spirits.
Even though he tried to buy information related to Soul Cultivation and Body Cultivation, the best techniques were all in the hands of the Greater Realms that didn't wish to sell them that. magic
Or even if they did, they asked for sky-high prices that the Bolg Realm just couldn't afford. And this created an impasse, leading to no transactions occurring between the various parties.
Of course, now that the Mong Realm and the Garg Realm had made an offer, why would the Kun Realm refuse to take action?
The TTT was currently focusing all their attention and resources on developing themselves to fully take advantage of their recent relocation. So, they couldn't yet afford to interfere in the affairs of the other Greater Realms.
Suddenly, there was a spark of energy before a portal manifested before Borgunel, startling him and the other Gods that were nearby.
All of them materialized before the portal, watching a tiny entity exit it, ethereal in nature.
Those from the Bolg Realm had naturally gigantic bodies, mountainous in size. In comparison, the wisp before them seemed like it would dissipate with just a breath from them. However, none of the Bolg Realm Gods dared to even breathe before this tiny entity, sensing the suffocating pressure emanating from it, feeling as if the very sky itself was pressing down on them.
Recently, a lot of rumors regarding this entity were being circulated between the weaker realms without a Realm Spirit.
Kun Realm Champion—Hunger God Krune!
"Hunger God…?" Borgunel asked in hesitation.
"Yeah, that's me." Krune stated calmly, hovering in the air as he arrived before Borgunel's gigantic face, stating plainly, "It seems the Mong Realm and the Garg Realm have already extended their pillaging offers to you?"
"Y-Yes, they did." Borgunel nodded, flinching upon making eye contact with Krune. The Mong Realm had sent an envoy, while the Garg Realm only contacted them through the Soul Trading Hub.
But shockingly, the Kun Realm sent their Champion himself, directly into their realm at that. It was a massive flex of their power, showing the Kun Realm's stance on the matter.
"Where's the Mong Realm envoy?" Krune asked.
"We've currently seated him in a nearby Sub-Realm. A couple of us are taking care of servicing him at the moment." Borgunel nodded in response.
"Alright." Krune nodded, extending his Divine Sense around to ensure that the Mong Realm envoy hadn't planted any spying traps around them, smiling as he said, "Then, the Kun Realm would present you with a better offer."
"We'll teach you everything there is to know about Body and Soul Cultivation. And..." He continued, "We'll send our experts here to conduct joint training sessions. With that, you'll be able to train and increase your experience in combat."
"How much… should we pay?" Borgunel asked hesitantly.
"Pay?" Krune snorted derisively. "Nine-tenths of the Tilk Realm is part of us. No amount of resources you send can amount to what we can produce on our own. I don't need any of your resources."
"Your payment would be to never join hands with any of the Greater Realms," Krune stated in all seriousness. "If you were to have such an idea, the Kun Realm is the sole entity that you can ally yourself with."
"Of course, in that case, we'll protect you from harm," Krune stated, pointing at the portal behind him. "Just send a distress signal to us through the Soul Trading Hub, and we'll appear here a second later."
"That's what the Kun Realm is capable of."
