Chapter 302 How to Talk With Kids
Outside, Feifei and Cinty noticed that something wasn't right. The Tribulation Fire was about to come down, but Krune still seemed to not be using his Divine Soul Realm power. In fact, they couldn't even feel the Core Formation Realm power either.
That was to be expected, Krune's Elemental Core is no more, so it would be a wonder if he could. Still, Krune could use Elemental Source Energy since his Elemental Meridians converted around 60% of it straight away. He was different from ordinary cultivator and demon beasts that needed to use their Core to achieve this conversion.
Of course, his control over it dropped several times now that his Elemental Core was gone, and his Divine Soul is not willing to help. Krune paid attention outside and knew that he couldn't waste time here anymore.
"Light Spirit, do you think it would be okay to use the Purple Tribulation Lightning Layer to fend off the Tribulation Fire?"
Luvile thought for a second and then replied.
"It should be able to hold for some time. But because that thing over there took a lot of my power away when the Core was broken, I won't have enough to pass through the entire process. In the end, you will need to find a way to use your Divine Soul power if you want to guarantee your safety."
Krune couldn't help but sigh.
"Light Spirit, can I leave it to you to fend off the tribulation fire for a while, then? I will try to convince my Divine Soul to help."
Light Spirit agreed.
"Alright, but don't forget that I don't have much power left. If there was time, I could recover the energy that that thing took away from me, but time is the last thing we have now."
Krune didn't mind.
"It's okay, just make sure to warn me when the time comes."
Light Spirit then started to concentrate on the outside and wait for when the Tribulation Fire descended.
Krune then turned to his Divine Soul and asked.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
Light Spirit thought that question to be funny, he also never heard about someone's Divine Soul having names. Still, he didn't have time to think much about it since the Tribulation Fire descended right after.
The Heavenly Fragment Divine Soul innocently replied.
"Mother never gave me a name."
Krune didn't think it strange. The fact is that his Elemental Core didn't have sentience, so it obviously couldn't have given his Divine Soul a name.
"I see. For now, I will just call you Heavin."
Krune didn't think much about this name. He just took the 'Heavenly' of the 'Heavenly Fragment' words and made it sound somewhat cuter. The weird thing was that Heavin didn't seem to dislike it since he didn't complain.
"Listen here, Heavin, I need to borrow your power so that I can deal with that thing outside. If you don't allow me to do it, both of us will die here."
'Heavin' didn't seem to care and replied.
"Then it is good, mother will get revenge."
Krune was speechless. His Divine Soul was just born, and he already didn't care about death anymore!
'Wait, wrong! If my Divine Soul was really born just now, it wouldn't be this intelligent. It means that it was already sentient way before I started to make my Breakthrough.'
Krune then asked.
"How long have you been conscient inside the Ele- errr... your mother?"
Heavin then replied.
"A long time, I remember you entering a big building and talking about kids."
Krune finally understood where Heavin first gained sentience.
'The Elemental Path!'
Still, it was impressive that Heavin developed such intelligence in just a little more than Three Months. But when he thought that he was a Divine Soul of a Wisp, he could accept that idea.
'It seems that he inherited the wisps' innate high IQ as well.'
"Alright, Heavin. Then let me tell you that I didn't know that you considered the Elemental Core as your mother. I will properly apologize to you once the Heavenly Tribulation outside is over, how about it? Can you let me use the Divine Soul power now?"
Heavin immediately refused and attacked Krune once more.
"I will not help you! The fire will kill you and me, and then I will become like mother!"
Of course, Heavin had no chances of injuring Krune anymore now that he is aware of Heavin's presence.
'I don't know how to deal with kids at all.'
It was then that Krune got an idea. He then used his Divine Sense to contact Feifei and Cinty outside.
After they heard what Krune said, they were taken aback. But that was of little importance now. Krune then asked the two girls something else.
"Do any of you know how to talk with a kid? I can only speak with logic as I always do, but I don't think it is being very effective."
Cinty immediately denied.
"Kids? How would I know that? After I became the Wisp Queen, I spent most of my time cultivating and dealing with the Wisp Worlds' affairs. I have no idea how to talk with them. Even young wisps, I have seen very few of them since the other wisps always took care of this issue."
Feifei then pondered a bit and said.
"I can give it a try. The Wang Clan has always been a big one, so I have a lot of male and female Cousins that are younger than me. I often played with them as well while I stayed there."
Krune immediately got excited and then said.
"Send you Divine Sense inside, I will create a projection of yourself with Spiritual Energy, and you can use your Divine Sense to control it."
Feifei nodded and did as Krune said. Krune also opened his Foundation so that Feifei had free passage all the way to his Planet Core.
Once inside, Feifei soon found that projection that Krune talked about and used her Divine Sense to connect to it. That projection then opened its eyes, and Feifei could now control it. Krune also made sure that that projection looked precisely like Feifei.
Feifei looked around and say that agglomeration of Elemental Source and Soul energy. Still, it indeed didn't look quite like a wisp.
"Krune, I think that this is not its final form yet."
Krune immediately agreed.
"Yes, I also think that this is not supposed to be how my Divine Soul looks like. Most likely, because of the 'mother' issue, it didn't complete its entire transformation. As proof of that, we can see the Heavenly Fragment inside it. When you entered the Divine Soul Realm, you were not able to see your Heavenly Fragment inside you Divine Soul, right?"
Feifei immediately nodded.
"Correct. I have no idea how my Heavenly Fragment form is. My Divine Soul was already complete when it came out of my Core."
Feifei then ignored this issue for now and started to talk.
"Hello, Heavin. Do you remember me?"
Heavin then looked at Feifei.
"Yes. You are always close to Krune."
Feifei then smiled and asked.
"I'm so happy that you know who I am. I decided to pay a visit to see you, but then I found out that you want to attack your father. Did he do something wrong?"
Krune was taken aback.
'Fa-father? Errr... well, kids are basically a fusion of both mother and father's parts in a certain sense, so I guess it isn't wrong to consider the same for my Divine Soul since it was a part of my Main Soul.'
Heavin then felt angry.
"He broke mother, so he can't be father."
Feifei noticed that Krune wasn't wrong, this Divine Soul really has a kid's way of thinking at the moment.
"What?! Did he break your mother? How could he have done something like that! He must be punished!"
Krune almost fainted!
'He-Hey! Aren't you supposed to be on my side?'
Heavin, on the other hand, immediately agreed with Feifei.
"Right, right! He must be punished!"
Feifei then made a sad face and started to cry.
"But it is so sad. Your mother was broken, and now her child will die because of the Tribulation Fire outside. I can only imagine how sad she would be if she knew that you are going to die. She definitely would be crying a lot."
Both Krune and Heavin were taken aback. Even Krune felt like Feifei was crying for real.
"I... I don't want mother to be sad."
While crying, Feifei then said.
"But if Krune doesn't drive that Tribulation Fire outside away, Heavin will die with him. She would definitely be very sad."
Heavin started to waver and then said.
"Then... then what should I do?"
Feifei looked at him and then pretended to be thinking while she still appeared sad.
"Maybe... no, Heavin would never accept doing something like this. Even if Heavin's mother will be sad if he dies, I can't ask Heavin to do it."
Heavin immediately replied.
"What is it?! Heavin will do anything for mother to not be unhappy!"
Feifei then looked at Krune's soul in the back and said.
"Well, there is only one way for Krune to drive away that Tribulation Fire outside. If he wants to do that, Heavin will need to help Krune to do it. But he is the one that broke Heavin's mother, I really can't ask Heavin to do something like this."
Feifei wasn't planning to get Heavin to fully cooperate with Krune forever right now. Her primary objective was to have Krune's Divine Soul to first help avoid the Tribulation Fire. They can think about anything else after that is done with.
Heavin also seemed to hesitate after hearing Feifei's words.
Feifei knew that it was better to strike the iron while it was hot and then suggested.
"Oh, I know! How about I help you to punish him when the Tribulation Fire outside is gone? That way, Heavin's mother will get her revenge, and she would also be happy if she knew that Heavin is not going to die."
As much as Krune knew that Feifei was doing it for him, he still felt a chill on his back when he heard those words. He couldn't help but remember his first months in the human world and his time with Yusa and Shinja.
Heavin seemed to become excited and asked Feifei.
"You promise?!"
Feifei smiled at him and nodded.
"Of course! You also know that I'm his fiance, right? So I can definitely punish him as many times as you want!"
Heavin then immediately replied.
"Alright! For mother, Heavin will help him this time."
