"What do I do? I barely have any power at all. If I push myself to the limit, perhaps I can create something that can injure someone. Of course, that would be my limit. No, that won't work. I must head to the City first."

Without any other choice, Krune kept heading towards the City. However, instead of trying to run at full speed, he simply jogged. At least that way, he wouldn't use all his Godly Energy at once. He thought about going back to his Wisp Form. However, he already heard a lot to know better than showing his Wisp Form in a place like the God Realm.

Krune didn't know yet, but he really had to thank the Myriad Energies Technique at the moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to do anything other than absorb Godly Energy for cultivation. Using Godly Energy to create attacks? That would be a joke without it.

Fortunately for Krune, he had his Mental Energy. That one was a lot easier to use in the God Realm. It's just that Mental Energy was also affected by Godly Energy, but not as much as Divine Sense. Nevertheless, Krune couldn't tell just how effective it would be when he needed to defend himself with it.

Back when they arrived in the God Realm, Lila Kalame tried to use her Divine Sense at the 7th Stage of the Nascent God Realm. Even though that was the case, it went just as far as a kilometer and a half. As for Krune and his 1st Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm cultivation

'Not even 20 meters... No wonder you can only ascend after you reach the Peak of the Nascent God Realm. The Mortal Rejection Realm is just ridiculously weak. As for Mental Energy, I guess I have to be thankful it can reach 50 meters.'

Well, Krune also thought about the positive side of the story.

'At least I finally comprehended the Calamity Laws. Thanks to that, I was able to prevent it from intervening in my life after my breakthrough. Then again... why did it attach to me every time I tried a breakthrough? I just don't understand.'

Krune didn't just jog, though. He still has his Mind Splitting Technique. Thanks to that, he also cultivated and tried to grasp more of the Calamity Laws on his way. The more he could understand it, the easier it would be to create the Balance Laws.

It took Krune no less than two weeks before he finally saw the first cultivator. It was just a man taking care of a few beasts. To be honest, he didn't seem to be a cultivator at all. Nonetheless, Krune took the chance to ask the guy.

"Hello. Would you mind telling me which side the City is?"

The man looked at Krune and couldn't help but feel impressed.

"It seems like life wasn't much good for you, huh? Sigh... anyway, just keep running in the same direction you were running just now. You should start seeing more people and demon beasts in human form as time passes. It wouldn't be hard to find it."

Krune was puzzled, though.

"What did you mean by your first words?"

The man was puzzled by Krune's question.

"Isn't that obvious? You're obviously an adult Demon Beast already. However, ever since you were born, you haven't left the 1st Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm. You don't need to hide it. You were most likely born with some defects in your Demon Core, right?"

Krune felt a chill on his back when he heard those words. He might not have any EQ, but his IQ definitely wasn't an issue.

"Ahem... could you mean that everyone who's born in the God Realm is already at the 1st Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm?"

The man was even more puzzled as he replied.

"Isn't that obvious? There is no lower realm than Mortal Rejection. Naturally, they have to be born in it. Ah! I understand what you mean. Well, that can't be helped since you have a problem with your foundation. After all, any race would be born at the 9th Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm already. Only when their bodies just started to get a form in their mother's bellies or in their eggshells would they be in the 1st Stage. As they grow inside, their cultivation also increases. It's normal for babies and demon beasts to reach the 9th Stage even before being born."

Krune felt like he was struck by lightning. Just now, he had understood that he was the weakest existence in the God Realm.

"Th-Thank you... Hehe... Yea... I have a problem. That's why I'm at this level. Hehehe..."

Krune then turned around and continued on his way. As the man saw that, he could only give Krune some encouraging words.

"Don't give up, young one. Being alive is already a miracle. Just focus on this thought and forget everything else. So what if you're weak? Strength isn't everything in life."

Krune bitterly smiled and nodded.

'So weak, huh? Sigh... there's no point in being sad about it anymore. I have to cultivate quickly and reach the Godly Fusion Realm.'

'Still, to think that everyone is already born in the 9th Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm. That's truly unexpected. Well, I guess it makes sense. This is the God Realm. The concentration of Godly Energy here is so high that it can totally kill a Transformation Realm cultivator or demon beast. If they weren't in the Mortal Rejection Realm, the humans and demon beasts' babies would die before they could even start growing in their mothers' bellies or eggshells.'

'That also explains why my abilities are so limited just now. It wouldn't make any sense to generate powerful Godly Energy Attacks when you have the power of a newborn. If newborns had the same power as Mortal Rejection Realm cultivators and demon beasts in the Godly Path Realm, chances are high that they would destroy everything by mistake. They wouldn't have any idea about what it means to control one's power. Even if they were a little older, having kids with such power definitely wouldn't be a good idea.'

Only like that could Krune come into terms with his actual power... or the sheer lack of it.

'Oh, well. Let's think about this as if I'm back at the 1st Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Now that I think about it, I only started using the Myriad Energies Technique at the 3rd Stage. Before that, I just naturally accumulated energy.'

Krune quickly shook his head and put those thoughts at the back of his head.

On the way, Krune caught quite a little bit of attention. After all, no one expected to see an adult 1st Stage Mortal Rejection Realm cultivator. Of course, no one was interested in finding trouble for Krune either. Rob him? What could such a weakling even have? All that would be left was a bad taste in their mouth. If they weren't careful, they might even kill Krune while they were playing.

Because of that, although many people and demon beasts laughed, that was just about it.

Krune also came to understand another thing. In the God Realm, all demon beasts were born with sentience. He had seen a few young demon beasts, definitely no more than four to five years old, who could already talk like any human kid could. There were quite a few species of those too.

'At least no one would find it weird to see a 1st Stage Mortal Rejection Realm Demon Beast with sentience.'

Finally, Krune spotted the City in the distance. Krune arrived at the gate a few minutes later and, once again, grabbed some attention. The guard, surprised by Krune's cultivation, couldn't help but find it funny.

"Now, that's something I've never seen before. Just what did you do to have your cultivation drop to the 1st Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm?"

Krune bitterly smiled as he explained.

"I was born with a problem in my foundation. Because of that, I've always been in this realm."

Another guard then appeared in front of him before saying.

"Stop making fun of him. It's not like either of us are strong or anything."

"Well, that's true."

After that, they allowed Krune to pass.

"Go ahead, brother. Just try to stay out of trouble."

Krune couldn't help but ask, though.

"I just arrived in this City. Would you mind telling me where I can find some information about it?"

"Information? Just ask the people or demon beasts in human form around. Sunkan City is quite small, with no more than a hundred thousand inhabitants. Most of us will be able to tell you anything you want to know about it."

Krune smiled after hearing that.

"Thank you."

Krune felt that he was quite lucky. This would be a perfect type of City for him to spend his time cultivating. Calm and safe. He was also happy that there were no entrance fees.

Before anything else, Krune decided to find a place for him to stay. After asking around, he found a normal inn before heading inside. However, he didn't ask for a room straight away. Instead, he waited for someone else to come and pay for a room first. Why? Because he didn't know how much his Godly Energy Stones were worth. Suppose he suddenly brought out a Top Quality Godly Energy Stone. In that case, he might attract many enemies while he wouldn't be able to protect himself at all. Krune was just that weak.

However...

"Two weeks will cost you 300 Rank One God Stones."

"Alright. Here you go."

Someone finally decided to pay for a room, so Krune took a good look at the God Stones with his Mental Energy. It was then that Krune almost cried.

'Top Quality Godly Energy Stones! They're calling it Rank One God Stone! Rank One!!! The lowest possible rank! In that case, is there any use for the other Godly Stones I have in my Spatial Ring at all?'

At that moment, Krune noticed another problem he hadn't felt in a very, very long time. He was poor!
