Fie got up from the ground and also jumped into Krune's embrace.

"Hahaha! What took you so long?"

​​

Krune smiled as he patted his much older than himself daughter.

"Aren't you already over 170 years old? How come you're acting like this?"

Fie couldn't care less, though.

"I don't mind it!"

Liriu also came forward to greet him after returning to his human form.

"Uncle Krune, welcome back."

Krune smiled as he looked at him.

"It seems like you were the one to have the most significant advancement after so long. Already in the 7th Stage of the Divinity Realm. Dracophoenixes are really impressive."

Liriu scratched the back of his head as he replied.

"That's just the advantage of my bloodline. Still, I wouldn't be able to do what Uncle Krune did just now. You made it look so easy to redirect both our attacks, and I'm sure you didn't even use your Purple Tribulation Lightning there. I might be able to do it if I don't suppress my cultivation, but it definitely wouldn't be so easy as you made it look like."

Krune nodded.

"There is no helping it. I've been cultivating in the Godly Path Realm, after all. Everything there is much better for both cultivation and law comprehension. I was even able to reach the advanced stage of the Elements Regulation Technique much faster than I expected."

Fie then showed an angry expression as she heard all of that.

"What are you all complaining about? I wouldn't be able to do that even if I did my best. At most, I could only try to resist head-on. Can you stop bragging about your abilities? Besides, why are we talking about battles and cultivation at this moment?"

Feifei also got close as she nodded.

"Fie is right. Forget about cultivation for now."

Fie then asked.

"Wait! Dad, you found out about the time difference between the Realms?"

Krune sighed as he nodded.

"Of course, I did. Especially after seeing all those wars happening around. It seems like the Frunkan Clan convinced Little Arty to leave his Godly Energy Dimensional Sphere behind. They also succeeded in completely blocking the Dalin Universe as it seems."

"I didn't expect that so many years would have passed down here. Wally should better give me an excellent explanation later."

Feifei shook her head.

"Senior Wally only did what he did because he truly believed it was the best thing for you."

"Anyway, we can talk about that later. Fie, where are Darten, Tuan, and Asla?"

Krune showed a puzzled expression.

"Darten, Tuan, and Asla? I don't remember anyone with these names. No, wait, I do remember one person called Darten. But Tuan and Asla are new."

Fie's expression softened as she said.

"They should be cultivating in their homes as well. Dad, let's go back home. I'll ask them to come by. Besides, it has been a long time since I ate your food."

Krune nodded absent-mindedly.

Everyone left the Dimensional Realm as they headed to another place. At the same time, Fie spread her Divine Sense and contacted Tuan and Asla to come to Feifei's house.

Feifei did the same thing but called the other people and beasts that Krune knew instead. At the moment, only Ruik, Tiane, Cinty, Kiirion, Xankruna, and Dilo were present. The rest received the information from the Frunkan Clan about the start of the Dalin Universe blockage operation. Because of that, they all left Dalin Universe before it was closed down. That included Krune's Master, Lucio, his other friends that had stayed here for some time, etc.

Krune didn't feel that they were wrong. After all, there was no guarantee about when he would come back. Even if he did, would he be able to leave Dalin? No one could guarantee. The only one who seemed to have no problem entering and leaving Dalin at the moment was Wally. With his cultivation, it would be weird if the Dalin Universe Protection Formation could hold him, after all.

However, as mentioned before, Wally stayed most of the time inside a time deceleration formation. Because of his condition, he was trying to stay alive for as long as possible. Unless extremely necessary, he simply wouldn't leave it at all.

Krune arrived at his home and saw that quite most of the others were there already.

Ruik was the first one to step forward.

"Hahaha! So the idiot wisp is back. You certainly took your time, didn't you?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"That's weird. Shouldn't you have been sent to the Wisp World in the Luvile Universe to take the position as the Rainbow Sect Master?"

Ruik's expression stiffed for a moment.

"Ahem... I... lost my chance to go out."

*Pah!*

Tiane slapped the back of his head in anger.

"Lost your head! Krune, you better give this guy a good lesson. Lakin had come here before after Luvile Universe joined the Dalin administration. However, this guy ran away and refused to take the position at all. Without any other choice, Lakin had to go back and continued to take care of it. It makes me feel quite sad since Lakin is refraining from starting a family of his own because of the workload."

Krune narrowed his eyes.

"Is that so?"

Ruik didn't relent.

"So what? I'm still less than 200 years old. Once I go back and take the position, I will need to stay there for who knows how many years. Let me enjoy it for a while longer."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"Why do I feel like that your 'enjoy' has something to do with sleeping as much as you can?"

Tiane and Liriu immediately nodded vigorously. Sure enough, Krune still knew Ruik way too well.

"Shut up, you three! I'm comprehending Dream Laws, okay? Sleep is a good thing for me. Just leave me alone. Besides, it's not like we have a way of going out of Dalin anyway. After all, we can't ask Senior Wally to leave the time deceleration formation."

Krune snorted, though.

"Oh! So that's the problem, uh? Very well. We don't need Senior Wally to come. I can do it myself. In fact, I can do it right now. What about it, should I send you to Luvile Universe?"

Ruik felt a chill on his back as soon as he heard that. For some reason, he totally believed that Krune had a way to send him through the Dalin Universe Protection Formation at this very moment.

"Cough.. cough... There is no need. I still have to prepare my heart."

Krune sighed and shook his head.

"Fine. Lakin will indeed make you work until only your bones remain once you go there. I'll give you... a few days to prepare."

"What? Only a few days?!"

Krune then looked at Tiane and Liriu.

"What do you think? Are a few days enough?"

Tiane nodded almost instantly.

"Definitely."

Liriu even added.

"In fact, a day should be more than enough for wrapping everything for dad. I can even help if Uncle Krune wishes so."

"You! You! How can you betray your husband and father that easily?"

Tiane shrugged her shoulder.

"You only know how to sleep. It's time for you to start doing something else."

Even Liriu already got tired of seeing Ruik sleeping most of the time.

"That's for your own good, dad. Who knows, you might even find something else you like other than putting your head on a pillow."

Tears fell from Ruik's eyes, and he headed to a corner. His family's betrayal had really taken a toll on him.

Krune and everyone else couldn't help but laugh out loud, though.

Right after, a man came forward and complimented Krune.

"Krune, it has really been a very long time."

Krune looked at him and felt like he had seen the man before. A second later, Krune finally remembered who he was.

"Darten! Wait, how come you're here?"

Fie had told Krune she would bring him to meet Asla, Tuan, and Darten. Krune had never heard about any Asla and Tuan. Still, he did have a vague memory about a person called Darten.

Darten was the son of the first chef Krune had ever met in his life. During that time, Krune had just discovered the joy of eating and cooking when he entered to test the food in a restaurant. That same day, he asked the restaurant's chef to teach him to cook. In the end, that chef got moved by Krune's passion for food and decided to give him his recipe book.

That was the first recipe book Krune had touched in his life as well. In exchange, the chef asked Krune to help his son with his Foundation. That son just so happened to be Darten. Krune had then opened his Foundation for Darten to take a look and tried to answer all the doubts Darten had at that time. That had been the only interaction Krune had ever had with Darten in his life.

He would have never expected to see the chef's son in this place. Not only that, but he was already in the Divine View Realm too. It might not be much compared to Fie and the others, but it was already enough to give him unlimited lifespan in the Mortal Realm.

Fie smiled as she and Darten held each other's hand.

"Dad. Darten and I are married. Besides, you are now a grandfather. Tuan, Asla, come here."

A girl and man, twins, then stepped forward as well. This was the first time they had seen the wisp that turned into a legend in the Wisp Main World.

"Nice to meet you, grandfather."

Krune's head spun. Just how did it turn out like this?
