Krune then came out of the kitchen with a few of the workers there, carrying the meals.

"We have been traveling for so long that we barely had time to eat. It's good that we can finally have a proper meal now. Kuge and... errr... I haven't asked the name of your two subordinates yet."

Kuge, who had his eyes fixated on the food, immediately answered.

"They are Juse and Polik."

"Oh! Kuge, Juse, and Polik then. Go ahead and help yourselves. I made enough for everyone. Lilive, Suita, and Gonf can have some as well."

Those names were the low-level cultivators who worked there. Naturally, they didn't expect that a Divinity Realm expert would invite them as well for the meal. In the end, they could only look at Kuge. Well, the fact was that Kuge didn't even know those workers' names up to this point.

"Ahem... Since this guest is inviting you, go ahead and grab some for yourselves."

The three immediately thanked Kuge and Krune before sitting to eat as well. Kuge and his subordinates just looked while Krune and Feifei ate, though.

"Hum? Are you not going to eat?"

Kuge then thought about how they were inside the planet's protection formation. If Krune had really done something to the food, he wouldn't be able to escape after.

"Alright."

Kuge, Juse, and Polik immediately sat down and took some food for themselves. They thought that it was simply food with a delicious taste. However, the moment they put the first piece in their mouths, their eyes opened wide! Divinity Energy immediately rushed into their energy cores, quickly adding to their own cultivation. They had never felt something like that before.

After the first bite, they simply couldn't hold themselves back anymore as they devoured everything. They finally understood why Krune made so much food. With something like this, how could just one or two plates be enough? Suddenly, a burst of Spiritual Energy came from the guy called Lilive. He was in the second stage of the Core Formation Realm, but just now, he had entered the third stage.

He wasn't the only one, though. By the time everyone finished eating Krune's meal, all three workers had broken through at least two stages of cultivation. That just showed how powerful Krune's food was. However, Krune warned them after they finished.

"The energy present in the food isn't completely yours, so don't try to cultivate straight away. First, take your time to convert the food's energy into your own. In any case, it should have been quite good for your future."

Lilive, Suita, and Gonf immediately nodded.

"Thank you, Senior Krune!"

Krune nodded as he passed them three sealed boxes.

"There are a few desserts sealed with my Spatial Laws inside. They should still be good to eat even after an entire year. Eat them after you finished converting all the energy and stabilizing your cultivations. This is my thanks for helping me with the meal preparation."

The three almost cried out of happiness as they held those boxes. Not long after, they bowed back to Krune and Feifei to thank them once more. Krune and Feifei just laughed, not minding it too much. There were few things in the four realms that made Krune happier than those who appreciate his food.

"Oh, right. These ones are for you."

Krune then passed three more boxes to Kuge and company.

"You three don't really need to wait to eat those since you're already in the Divinity Realm. The food just now should have helped you save at most a year or two of cultivation, which isn't much at your levels. That being said, you can eat these desserts straight away."

Krune talked as if it wasn't a big deal. However, for Kuge, Juse, and Polik, that was heaven-defying. In a single meal, they saved a year or two of cultivation? That's just ridiculously overpowered. However, they could tell themselves that Krune wasn't lying. Not only was his food delicious, but the effects were also incredibly marvelous.

"Just... what did you do to make food become like this?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"That's a secret."

The Spiritual Chef side occupation didn't exist in the Mortal Realm, so he couldn't really talk about it.

Nonetheless, Kuge's impression of Krune had improved countless times after this meal. At the very least, he could see why Krune would do such a thing for them if he didn't have good intentions.

After they finished their desserts, the energy inside was also applied to their cultivation. In the end, Kuge, Juse, and Palik did something they thought they would never do in their lives. They helped Krune and Feifei wash the utensils. No one would believe if it was told that a regional supervisor was put to use a sink, but there he was.

After they finished, Krune put his things back into his spatial ring and returned to the living room with Feifei. Kuge also accompanied them with Juse and Polik. However, this time they weren't acting as guards, but more like friends as they talked with each other. Their previous behavior couldn't be blamed since they had been on their wit's end for quite some time. Kuge couldn't even remember the last time he relaxed like this.

Krune and Feifei were able to hear more about the war against Maqem. Sure enough, it was truly a last-ditch victory. More than 70% of their Peak Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts died from the war.

The couple and the group continued to talk for some time until finally, Kuge got up and said.

"Alright, come with me. It's time for you to talk with the leaders of our Dole Universe."

"Oh! Indeed, it has been a few hours since we've arrived."

Kuge then led Krune and Feifei out of the living room. However, they found something strange. Instead of leaving the building, they simply entered another bigger living room. There, a woman was drinking some tea as she read some documents.

"We've arrived. This person is lady Huana. She's the actual representative of the five powers in our Dole Universe."

Krune and Feifei were taken aback. They thought they would need to go to several different planets before finding anyone with such authority.

"Errr... Ahem... Has Lady Huana been here all this time?"

Huana smiled before putting the documents down.

"Indeed, I have. Sorry for lying to you two. It's just that we wanted to ascertain your intentions first. Also, I watched everything that happened in the living room with my Divine Sense."

Krune and Feifei obviously perceived her Divine Sense before. However, Huana was far from being the only one using her Divine Sense to watch the room. They thought it was normal for them to be watched since they were outsiders.

"I see... Well, nice to meet you, Lady Huana. I'm Krune."

Feifei also introduced herself.

"And I'm his wife, Wang Feifei. Nice to meet you."

Huana couldn't help but ask.

"You two are a couple even though one is human and the other is a demon beast?"

Krune and Feifei nodded. Mixed race couples were still rare, after all.

"Indeed. Is lady Huana curious about it?"

Huana was taken aback for a second. Indeed, she seemed to be curious about them. Well, most people would be.

"To be honest, I am. But let's leave this conversation for another time. You're probably asking yourselves why the five powers selected a single representative, right?"

Krune and Feifei nodded, not trying to hide it at all.

"That's because we needed someone to help with their merge. After this last war, it became pretty clear that a Universe with so many different powers controlling made it quite weaker. So, in the future, there won't be five powers anymore, just one. I'm the first leader of this new power that will emerge here."

Krune and Feifei nodded. Even the Luvile Universe didn't have that many controlling powers. It has always been just the three Sacred Lands.

"Well, this isn't a problem for guests like you to worry about. All you need to know is that I can listen and decide whether or not this so-called deal will be accepted or not. So, why don't you tell me more about what you came here for?"

Feifei looked at the others in the room before saying.

"It's quite a sensitive topic. Can we really talk in front of them?"

Huana nodded.

"Kuge, Juse, and Polik can be trusted. Don't worry."

Feifei nodded as she asked.

"In that case, we wish to buy the Ownerless Heavenly Fragments you got from Maqem after it was destroyed. We got information that your Dole Universe has at least two of them."

Huana immediately shook her head as she replied.

"They aren't for sale. We intend to use them on our own Heavenly Fragment Owners. It's just that it hasn't been decided on who will take them yet."

Feifei smiled, already expecting that answer. In fact, most of the negative answers they got were for the same reason. Feifei then passed a Spatial Ring to Huana.

"Take a look inside. We can get you quite a few of those. I believe it will be several times more useful than the Ownerless Heavenly Fragments themselves, especially after this war."

Krune and Feifei were quite expectant in this trade since the Dole Universe's situation was in their favor.

"This... how did you get them?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders.

"That is also a secret. But if you are willing to trade, we are more than happy to give you a lot more. Of course, we don't have all of them here, just these samples you're seeing."

Huana couldn't help but sweat a little.

"How... many of them... are we talking about?"

Feifei and Krune smiled. That's exactly the answer they wanted to hear.
