Chapter 177: Chapter 175: The Illusory Sea

The situation is a bit grim; the ’Guardian King City’ is more perilous than expected.

Looks like I can only risk everything.

Yang Qizhou stretched lazily on the sofa, glanced at the ’item interface,’ and noticed there were still about twenty [Destiny Fire Bottles] left. He thought that might be enough and refocused on the game.

Text refreshed.

...

...

"This is just the beginning."

"Soon, you’ll see Kandar’s right hand, left eyeball, falling off one by one, blood flowing everywhere, and the wounds jagged as if hacked off abruptly by a rusted butcher’s knife."

"However, what strikes you as most bizarre is... Kandar remains entirely oblivious to all of this, still ’pondering’ the titles of his friend."

"This eerie scene leaves you suffocating."

"You offer a warning."

"But what Kandar says next shocks and terrifies you further: he is utterly unaware of his body falling apart, nonchalantly claiming his legs, arms, ears, and so on are perfectly fine."

"Could it be that you’re mistaken? You rub your eyes, but the scene remains unchanged—still that grotesque, chilling spectacle."

"You want to say something else, but suddenly, you recall the experience of being ’captured’ by the Mother Tree and tainted by Polluted Dreams. A horrifying thought emerges: is everything you’re seeing now even real?"

"You died."

"You died."

"You died."

...

...

Once again, mysteriously killed.

Yang Qizhou didn’t refresh the text but instead scrolled upward and began contemplating.

"After entering the ’Guardian King City,’ the first death occurred when the game character wanted to convert the residents into ’God of Victory’ believers. This second death happened when the game character started doubting the world he was witnessing."

"Does this mean,"

"The game character’s thoughts in ’Guardian King City’ are easily met with unknown terrifying hostility."

Unfortunately,

The current revealed information within ’Guardian King City’ is far too limited. Yang Qizhou can only deduce this at best, without any assurance of its accuracy. As for further clues, he can only seek them in the upcoming game narrative.

Text continued refreshing.

...

...

"You once again adeptly went through the death process. The power of the [Destiny Fire Bottle] reignited the extinguished Blessing Fire, rewriting your fate of death."

"You opened your eyes again on the street of ’Guardian King City.’"

"You saw Kandar displaying a peculiar look of delight, saying, Wizard sir, you mentioned earlier there was something urgent, then ran off—what exactly happened?"

"You didn’t answer this question because, strictly speaking, you had already answered it once during the previous death-and-revival."

"Having experienced multiple save-and-reload exploits, you are aware that this isn’t a ’timeline’ rewind nor a destiny restart; instead, it seems more like illusory power recreating the original scene."

"It seems that nothing in front of you can be trusted."

"Thinking this, you pulled out the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed,’ and soon, a strong premonition manifested in your heart."

"Three hundred meters southward lies a treasure of indescribable value."

"But that direction isn’t a path; it’s a wall, the fence of a grand cathedral flowing with dazzling, sacred and mysterious forces. If you, possessing the ’Star Spirit God’ status, charge in, you’ll likely be pulverized to dust in an instant by the protector’s power." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Yet you paid no mind to this and, following the guidance of the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed,’ charged forward without hesitation."

"Wizard, don’t! That’s the First Sacrificial Ground of the ’Wisdom God Priest,’ an absolutely revered place that must not be desecrated. Approaching recklessly will provoke the entire ’Guardian King City’ into hostility."

"Soon, you crashed into the cathedral’s fence shielded by ’dazzling, sacred colors.’"

"You were crushed by the terrifying mysterious forces."

"You died..."

...

...

Did the game character guess wrong?

Yang Qizhou found it hard to believe. Using the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’ to locate the treasure’s position as a marker seemed like a good idea to break away from the current disorienting and surreal scenes.

The storyline reached a critical juncture, and Yang Qizhou had no mood to snack on the free treats from ’Little Bean Sprout’; he poured all his attention onto the game.

"Let’s refresh the text and see."

The game continued.

...

...

"Died again. The frequency of deaths today really is something."

"Although you’re accustomed to ’dying and coming back to life’—even somewhat enjoying the experience—you can’t help feeling quite frustrated."

"You prepared yourself as if revisiting your backyard, heading once more to the River of Death’s edge."

"But the scene before you was not the turbulent gray-black waters of the River of Death. Instead, it was a phantom-like, blurry path, seemingly ready to vanish any moment, with flickering, scattered images flanking it: glimpses of bustling ’Guardian King City,’ a barren wasteland devoid of life, and scenes of ’Guardian King City’ drowned by illusory waters."

"What’s going on?"

"At that moment, a piercing, agonizing, despairing cry rang in your ears—it was Kandar, his voice raw with anguish as he shouted... ’Wizard sir, can you hear me? Do not trust anything your eyes see about "me." That’s merely someone else’s perception of me. The real me has already died.’

"Soon, the scream faded away."

"Kandar has truly perished, surprising no one. After all, ’Guardian King City’ is so eerie, so terrifying—you’ve been slain several times in quick succession. Despite Kandar’s ’Angel God’ combat strength, he stands little chance against such dangers."

"Of course, Kandar lacks destiny power’s blessing; death means true death."

"You don’t feel a shred of sadness—in fact, you almost want to laugh."

"Because you know you’ll soon see this free henchman again."

"You once more pulled out the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed,’ and the divine insight guided you: among the most valuable treasures in ’Guardian King City,’ one lies ahead."

"You entered ’Guardian King City’ intending to hoard riches; after several deaths, the opportunity can’t be missed."

"With swiftest speed, you sprinted forward."

"Uncertain how long you ran, suddenly you felt suffocation. When you opened your eyes again, you found yourself enveloped by viscous, heavy, dim seawater."

"Looking downward, you saw that this ’seawater’ was astonishingly clear, devoid of impurities—space, fate, order, knowledge, life; everything seemed nonexistent within its depths. Looking upward, however, you found turbid seawater filled with dream, reproduction, beauty, filth, soul, night, curses, and more—intertwined yet repelling, harmonious yet contradictory."

"Where is this place?"

"How did I end up here?"

"The suffocation intensifies, compelling you to struggle desperately. Amid this, guided by the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed,’ you instinctively reach upward."

"You obtained [Hidden Egg], [Heart Dream Source], and [Lost Night]."

"At that moment, a hand suddenly appeared, pulling you out from the incomprehensible, paradoxical seawater. You emerged in an ancient library."

"A sigh echoed in your ears... Why did you have to meddle? Now not only can I not save you, I too am doomed."

...

...

Finally, some gains—it seems this trip to ’Guardian King City’ wasn’t in vain.

Yang Qizhou’s spirits lifted immediately,

Having watched the game character inexplicably die several times since entering ’Guardian King City,’ and already realizing from the distorted, abstract, contradictory descriptions of the environment that this map was far more terrifying than anticipated—far beyond what the ’game character,’ weaker than ever, could handle—even seeing real scenes was out of reach, let alone clearing the dungeon.

Unexpectedly, the plot took a turn, thanks to the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’s’ effects, leading to these mysterious gains.

This ultra-epic-level ancient object’s ability truly proved remarkable.

Sitting up straight from the sofa, Yang Qizhou now eagerly examined his newfound treasures.

Hidden Egg (Quasi-legend): This is an extremely special ’Dream Realm’s Child Egg.’ Due to the trickery of a despicable and treacherous explorer, this Dream Realm’s Child consumed three-quarters of the corpse of a Divine Sovereign wielding the ’Hidden’ authority upon hatching. It is a child favored by the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility.’ Effect: After 24 hours, this Dream Realm’s Child, holding dual authority over ’Hidden’ and ’Dream,’ will emerge from its shell.

Heart Dream Source (Legendary): This is an authority forsaken by the ’Dream Realm Sovereign’ for unknown reasons, imbued with the power to weave dreams. However, you are advised not to use it recklessly, as doing so may attract the gaze of the ’Dream Realm Sovereign.’ Effect: You can select a target and glimpse into their thoughts, using them as the template for crafting a dream entirely under your control, three uses daily.

Lost Night (Legendary): Night originally belonged to the authority of the ’Lord of Night.’ However, for some reason, this fragment of night authority ended up lost in the ’Dream Realm’ and became contaminated by dreams.

Original Effect: ??????

Post-contamination Effect: When night falls, the chosen target will forcibly enter a dream.

Note: Locate the Favored of the Lord of Night; they might be able to cleanse the contamination within ’Lost Night’ and restore its original power.
