Author''s note: I release two chapters ahead of the real ones. Comic Relied was supposed toe out today. Go back two chapters and read them. The same goes for the next one.

    Boom!


    The ground exploded as Krune leaped back. Thanks to his powerful physique, he shed around, evading Kirena''s attack.


    Landing within the crater, Kirena gazed at him and said, "Krune… I''ll kill you now!"


    "Stop!" Suddenly, just when she was about to condense an attack, a man shed beside her, grabbing hold of her hands before telling her, "Look around you."


    "What?" Kirena gazed at the man in annoyance. "What am I supposed to look at?"


    "Don''t reveal your abilities." The man informed her through Divine Sense. "There are quite a lot of ex-Primal Gods here. Revealing your abilities to them would only endanger us. Remember the reason we arrived here."


    "Fine." Surprisingly, Kirena actually controlled her killing intent, retracting her Godly Energy emission as she snorted in response and turned around, soon leaving the ce.


    The man sighed helplessly after that, watching her move away. He then turned around, ring at Krune while emanating an oppressive aura. "You best pray you don''t encounter us inside…"


    "I think you should pray right now…" Krune replied, pointing behind the guy.


    Confused, the man turned around to see Kirena''s figure m into him, causing a massive crater to form at the ce. The earth morphed before swallowing them until their necks, locking them to the ce, shocking them.


    After all, even they realized that it wasn''t possible to escape from this ability so easily.


    "Best pray for what? Are you aiming at my only brother?" Sterlenanded on the ground, veins popping on her forehead. Her legs shed as she kicked the heads of the two like ser balls, sending them flying straight at the mountainous gate, causing a resounding boom.


    Instantly, the gazes of everyone on the ins swerved towards her, wondering who this powerhouse was to handle two ex-Primal Gods so casually.


    "Well… consider this your final warning." Sterlena snorted before shing before Krune, hurriedly inspecting him to see that he was uninjured, heaving a sigh in relief after seeing he wasn''t.


    "Big sis, I''m fine," Krune smiled as he said. "I would have been able to handle it myself."


    "Don''t waste your energy here," Sterlena replied. "Thews of the God Realm have already manifested here in their entirety. However, the production of Godly Energy here hasn''t begun yet. Do you know what that means?"


    As Krune shook his head, she informed him through Divine Sense, "This is a ce where Godly Energy is equivalent to lifeforce. With that in mind, if there''s no Godly Energy in your meridians, you''ll die."


    "Something like that is possible?" Krune asked, shocked.


    "Yes." Sterlena nodded as she told him, "It''s like staying underwater for a mortal. The deeper they go, the harder it is for their bodies to handle the water pressure. Simrly, the Godly Energy within our meridians is what''s resisting the pressure that''s present here. Without it, we would bepressed into a tiny rock."


    Hiss!


    He inhaled a sharp breath in shock after that, muttering, "Thank goodness I didn''t use any abilities just now."


    "Also..." Sterlena continued. "Don''t take out any God Stones either. They would be corrupted. Absorbing them would only weaken your Godly Energy, making it easier for this pressure to kill you."


    "I''ll keep that in mind." Krune nodded before asking another question. "However, is it alright for you to waste your energy to attack them like that?"


    "Don''t worry about that." Sterlena smiled in response. "That''s just the passive force I can exhibit thanks to all thews I''veprehended. I haven''t used any Godly Energy."


    She then dragged him, leaving the ce. "There''s a good spot that I''ve been using for the past few months. Let''s sit there and wait for the gates to open."


    There was a small rocky mound closer to the gate, with a cave inside it. This was the ce Sterlena had been staying at, bringing Krune inside as she told him, "There''s nothing much we can do here besides wait. There''s still plenty who are waiting to catch up, so we can take our time."


    "How was your trial of suffering? When did youe here?" Krune asked immediately, curious about it himself. "Also, who arrived here first?"


    "Well…" Sterlena pointed at a lone man far away as she told him, "He was here before me. Based on his stature, it seems he was here a decade before me. I was the second to arrive here."


    "A decade?" Krune was shocked, unable to believe that.


    After all, who was Sterlena? A True Spirit, the daughter of the Four Realms, someone that possessed both the Cmity and Bnce Laws. She also had more than 200ws that had beenprehended to the extent that they were only inferior to the Gods of the respectivew.


    Such a frightening character only came second. And someone actually arrived here a decade before her?


    It was hard for him to believe that.


    After all, to arrive here meant they had to go through the trial of suffering andplete it. Krune had spent almost 90 years at that.


    Those that had lived longer, had a strongerprehension of thews, had versatile abilities that could be used in the world of suffering, and had a rich life experience were what couldplete the trial of suffering faster.


    With that being said, Sterlena was already a frightening old monster at that. So, someone even beyond was…


    "Not only that," Sterlena added. "Almost a dozen people arrived right after me. So, we have to be careful. There''s nock of experts here."


    "Sis, do you know who that guy is?" Krune asked, pointing at the guy that had arrived first.


    "No, but he resembles someone I''ve read about once," Sterlena whispered. "He was reced by a certain someone that shook the whole Four Realms."


    "Someone who shook the Four Realms?" Krune had a strange foreboding.


    "Yes," Sterlena said solemnly. "He absolutely hates our races because of that and would kill any on sight. So, it''s for the best if you never reveal your true form."


    "Wait, who was the person that shook…" Krune asked, failing to connect the dots.


    "It''s Wally," she replied. "Wally had reced him before. So, that''s why he hates wisps. But since he cannot differentiate a wisp from a True Spirit, he hates them both. Also, he had participated in the wisp hunt of the God Realm back then, killing both our races alike."


    "But, what does reced mean?" Krune was shocked upon seeing Sterlena''s face turnical all of a sudden as she began tough uncontrobly.


    "That meant he was a God once. However, someone''sprehension of the respectivew surpassed his and kicked him down a peg from the authority of thisw. In short, hisw was stolen and reced, kicking him from the seat of a God back down to a Primal God."


    "It did make him the butt of all jokes throughout God Realm for thousands of years because of that."
