Back inside Zule's body, Krune and Iem heard about Reril and True Spirits. Unlike Wisps, True Spirits were considered extremely rare and talented. Every single force in the Godly Path Realm would like to have one in their ranks. However, no one heard about Reril entering the Nascent God Realm at all. After all, no reports were made about any tribulation clouds in the Energy Sect.

"Nice to meet you, Reril. I've never seen you in person... or in True Spirit Form, I guess. My name is Rag, just a humble person who likes to cook."

Reril smiled in response as he replied.

"Nice to meet you too, Rag. It's good to see that someone else other than me has finally achieved the Nascent God Realm on our planet. To be honest, I've never heard about a Peak God Core Realm cultivator going by your name before. It seems like the Sky Shifting Sect has kept you well hidden."

Rag laughed after hearing that.

"Hahaha! It's not that I was hiding on purpose, but it's just that I was never the least bit interested in the power struggle. You see, I'm a Spiritual Chef, so I only care about improving my cooking skills. I still don't know what my beloved wife saw in a simple man like me."

Franlia couldn't help but show a rare tinge of red on her face.

'It's exactly because you don't care about these things that I like you, idiot!'

Of course, she didn't say those words out loud.

However, she quickly came back to herself and asked.

"How come no one knew about your cultivation, Reril?"

Reril shrugged his shoulders as he responded.

"That's because I went somewhere else to have my breakthrough. You see, I have a few connections, so I got a safe place to pass through it. After that, I came back and resumed my duties as the Energy Sect Leader. That's all."

Reril then looked at Binmia, Aragan, and the two other elders of the Three Peaks and Flower River Sects. However, he ignored them before returning his attention to Rag.

"Well, I just came here because I was curious about who the Nascent God was. Now that my curiosity has been satisfied, it's time to go back. Until we meet again."

Reril then opened a Spatial Gate and left before anyone could say anything.

Of course, the situation wasn't over just because of that. Rag looked at Binmia's group as well and began to speak.

"You see? There's no way I can take control of the planet just because I'm a Nascent God. Reril's also there, so such a thing is not possible. Then again, I don't think I'm Reril's match at all. Even if he was still in the Peak of the God Core Realm, I'm pretty sure I would lose in a battle against him anyway. It's not like you guys don't know how terrifying True Spirits can be. They aren't called Heaven's Miracle for nothing."

Aragan narrowed his eyes as he said.

"Then, what do you want? Are you telling us that you will just let us be now that you have the upper hand? Once you recover from your breakthrough, we will be at your mercy, so we might as well end it now."

Rag shook his head as he looked at Franlia. Understanding his meaning, Franlia came out of the Sect's Protection Formation.

"We don't intend to end your sects. Truth be told, our planet has quite a few Peak God Core Realm cultivators and demon beasts. It's just a matter of time until more of them begin to appear. Even you two, Binmia and Aragan, are already at the peak as well. Everyone just needs their own spark to pass the threshold."

"That being said, it would be idiotic to start conquering other sects or clans. After all, you will only make their high-level God Core forces run and bide their time before they come back. Once that happens, no one knows what could happen, other than the fact that you would have many unnecessary enemies. Don't think we don't know you have your own methods to run away if we force your hands. That's not what we want."

Binmia knew that Franlia's logic was correct. Nevertheless, would one really give up increasing their power and influence just because of that? Breaking through the Nascent God Realm was easier said than done. One could see it from just looking at the hundreds of Peak God Core Realm cultivators that existed on this planet, but only two Nascent Gods had appeared so far.

Franlia then smiled.

"Of course, we won't let you off the hook for free."

Aragan and Binmia bitterly smiled.

'There it comes. What do they want from us? Ownership of the entire Top Quality Godly Energy Veins?'

Franlia continued.

"At the moment, our Sky Shifting Sect has control over 50% of the Godly Energy Veins. From now on, your two sides are prohibited from trying to take over our territory. That being said, we will keep that 50% while you two share the other 50. What do you think?"

Binmia and Aragan were taken aback after hearing that. Judging by the actual state of the situation, that was a very, very straightforward conclusion.

"Don't say that I'm ripping you off. Although we won't be able to eliminate your forces with Rag's power, we can definitely take over the entire Top Quality Godly Energy Veins. In exchange, we can make that fake alliance of ours a real one. What I'm planning is to be prepared for the future. Of course, our Sky Shifting Sect will be the alliance's leader. We will also take the most advantages from it."

For Binmia and Aragan, it really hurt to hear that they would be under the Sky Shifting Sect's lead. However, it was true that this was the best outcome they could expect from the current situation. Franlia was obviously taking most of the benefits. Though, quite a few lifelines were left for the two. Of course, they usually wouldn't accept such terms. However, the Sky Shifting Sect now had the power to get rid of them with time. That was something they must avoid at all costs, even if it meant becoming a vassal of the other.

"What guarantees are there that you won't come after us later?"

Franlia snorted after hearing that.

"Guarantee? I don't need to give you anything like that. It's up to you to believe me or not. Of course, you're free to come to my Sky Shifting Sect if you want. I more than welcome it."

Rag heard all of that and couldn't help but sigh.

'Indeed, power struggles are not something I like at all.'

Binmia and Aragan then talked with each other through Divine Sense for a moment before they gave Franlia an answer.

"Alright. We accept your terms."

Franlia smiled, satisfied.

"That's good, then. Oh! One more thing. At the moment, we're still fighting each other for control over the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins. However, I don't want to stop it. Besides, I guess you two don't want it to stop as well. That has been a very good training place for all our forces. Although there are deaths here and there, those are things that can't be avoided in the path of cultivation. The only difference from now on is that no more territories will be taken from each other."

Binmia and Aragan agreed with that.

"That's indeed a good thing."

"Good! Now then, you two can go back from where you came. I'll send a few representatives of my Sky Shifting Sect later to sort out the details. Is that fine with you two?"

As much as they didn't like it, Aragan and Binmia could only nod. After that, the two opened a Spatial Gate each and left.

Rag then looked at Franlia and Tosely before asking.

"Is it really okay to leave them be like this?"

Franlia sighed as she said in response.

"It's not like we have a choice. Don't forget that this is all a facade. What will really bring our Sky Shifting Sect high up in the future is the gift left by Zule. This alliance is just a way of concealing the reason for the sudden increase in our sect's forces."

Tosely agreed with Franlia.

"If we get too strong without a motive, the other powers will focus their eyes on us. Having a Nascent God Realm cultivator is good, but it doesn't mean we can fight everyone on our own. It's better to prevent that through this alliance and use it as the reason behind everything."

Rag shrugged his shoulders after hearing that.

"Well, if that's the case, then so be it. You two know very well that I don't butt my head into these matters. I'll leave everything in your hands unless you really need my help with something. Of course, the less you need me, the better. Anyway, I don't want to stay like this forever, so I'm going back to change and heal my injuries. The tribulation power is still running through my body, and it hurts quite a lot."

Franlia and Tosely nodded before they all went back to the sect.

Sure enough, the news about a new Nascent God Realm cultivator appearing on their planet spread like wildfire. Not only that, but everyone came to know that not only one but two Nascent Gods now lived in there. After all, Reril already showed his presence. Following that, the Sky Shifting Sect allied with the Flower River and Three Peaks, becoming the alliance's leader. In the others' eyes, that was basically the Sky Shifting Sect taking control over them.

The planet was truly undergoing multiple changes in a short amount of time.
