Chapter 178: Chapter 176: Two Legends

"Holy crap, a golden legendary."

"Two legendary items and one quasi-legendary item, and they’re all miracle objects with no negative effects after use. I just struck gold."

"Wait, wait..."

"What’s this ’Hidden Egg’ supposed to be?"

Yang Qizhou was initially thrilled, but his expression suddenly froze, his eyes almost popping out.

Because of a treacherous and sinister explorer’s scheme, this Dream Realm’s Child devoured three-fourths of the corpse of a Divine Sovereign who wielded the authority of ’Hidden’ right after being born. Wasn’t this the very same Dream Hidden King who got undermined and killed in the ’Fire Stealing Village’ storyline by a game character?

Who would’ve thought the storyline would circle back, with the item ending up in the hands of the game character again?

Well, that’s not too bad,

Getting something back you thought you lost is good in its own way.

The problem is, according to the attributes of ’Hidden Egg,’ the Dream Realm’s Child will hatch in 24 hours. There’s no clarification about whether it will pledge loyalty to the holder. This probably isn’t an oversight by the Deceit World system; it’s more likely that... the moment the Dream Realm’s Child is born, it will attack the game character holding the item.

Isn’t this like voluntarily finding a parent figure?

No, wait—from a certain perspective, it’s me who should be considered its dad.

Feeling dispirited, Yang Qizhou still had no intention of discarding the Hidden Egg. After all, there were 24 hours until incubation. What if he could use it in the meantime? If not, he could always toss it out later.

Then Yang Qizhou turned his attention to the Heart Dream Source and Lost Night. His mood instantly improved, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Choose a target, peer into their thoughts, and weave a dream guided by yourself based on this as a blueprint. If used effectively, this ability is undoubtedly a powerful weapon. The downside is the limited daily usage—only three times."

"As for ’Lost Night,’ its origin story sounds rather intriguing."

"Night originally belonged to the authority of the Lord of Night, but it was lost in the realm of dreams. Does this suggest that the entity wielding the authority of ’Dreams’ once fought the Lord of Night and gained significant benefits?"

"Moreover, the polluted effect of Lost Night pairs quite well with Heart Dream Source."

"If these two legendary items are used together,"

"There might be unexpected outcomes."

Having reviewed the spoils from the journey to Guardian King City, Yang Qizhou felt satisfied and shifted his focus back to the game, pondering over what truly transpired in Guardian King City, what that bizarre ocean was about, and who spoke last. All these plot points kept him highly curious.

He hoped the upcoming text would reveal more.

The game continues.

...

...

"Speaking of which, the scene transitions happen way too fast. First, it’s a bustling urban area, then a black-shrouded path with only one visible road, then endless seawater, and now an ancient library. If this were a movie, it’d sure make the audience dizzy."

"While you’re making a mental note of this, you see a silver-haired woman with half her face covered by a mask appear before you."

"You tidied up your appearance to look more dignified and asked her the burning questions in your heart, including but not limited to: ’Who are you?’ ’Did you just save me?’ ’What did your last statement mean?’"

"The visible skin on the woman’s face is smooth and supple, yet her half-covered face makes it difficult to gauge her true appearance."

"You hear her say..."

"I am ’White,’ one of the three Miracle Warriors who serve as Gatekeepers, currently the only survivor in Guardian King City. Guided by the Wisdom God’s enlightenment, I escaped the initial calamity and now survive by clinging to existence in this divine realm known as the Wisdom Library."

"White quickly added that she did pull you out of the Dream Realm Sovereign’s projection, but calling it a rescue is hardly accurate. Since you now possess items belonging to the Dream Realm Sovereign, no matter how far you flee, you’ll ultimately become part of the dream realm."

"That endless ocean actually was a projection of the Dream Realm Sovereign. It seems that Guardian King City’s downfall is linked to this being, one of the Four Indescribable Lands, who presides over Dreams."

"Though you suspected this earlier, hearing White confirm it still jolts you."

"Yet soon a sly ’hehehe’ laugh bubbled up inside you as you thought, that’s not necessarily true."

"Remembering the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s ability to restart destiny lines, your face betrayed a faint smile."

"You then asked White why the Dream Realm Sovereign’s projection took the form of an ocean."

"White replied that she didn’t know and explained that, according to the Wisdom God’s enlightenment, one should never probe into the truth of such matters—not even entertain such thoughts, as it could lead to unspeakably horrifying events."

"It seems unraveling this mystery is impossible, and you sigh inwardly."

"Suddenly, a thought strikes you. Looking at White with her pale hair and mask, your expression turns peculiar, and you ask her, ’You’re White, one of Guardian King City’s Miracle Warriors? The Gatekeeper White?’"

"Her response came quickly, ’Right, it’s me.’"

"But something doesn’t add up."

"You’re struck by a massive question—based on Kandar’s account, aside from him, the other two Miracle Warriors, Yixiu and White, are active on the Polluted Mountain Edge, conducting investigations to save Guardian King City. How could she possibly be in Guardian King City itself?"

"You voiced your doubts aloud."

"White’s face froze in disbelief, trembling with horror... ’I’ve always been in Guardian King City. I’ve never left.’"

"Could the White outside not be the real White?"

"Then who could that be?"

"Just as this idea forms in your mind, you notice phantom ocean waters surging in, infused with ’Night,’ ’Dream,’ ’Nurture,’ and ’Beauty’—terrifying authorities combining unimaginable twist and corruption."

"Is this seawater coming for me? The thought flashes through your mind."

"You see White bitterly smile and say, ’Forget it, soon we’ll all be consumed, becoming part of the Dream Realm. Pursuing who the other White might be doesn’t matter anymore,’"

"You don’t share her defeatist outlook; with the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s destiny-restarting ability, you could escape the peril of this phantom ocean entirely. So, to you, pursuing certain answers isn’t meaningless."

"Soon, you recall a curious incident. Under the guidance of the Dragon Tooth of Greed, you once ran into the protective railing of the Wisdom God’s First Sacrificial Ground and were shredded by the guarding force. Yet instead of heading for the River of Death, your soul had materialized along a dim path. At the time, this seemed normal, but, in hindsight, it feels deeply uncanny."

"You voiced your uncertainty."

"White hesitated to answer and brushed it off as meaningless."

"It’s meaningful. Very meaningful."

"You expressed yourself with firm resolve... ’It’s meaningful to me. Please, tell me.’

"Unable to resist your persistence, White relented and explained... ’The River of Death isn’t a real river but a phantom realm scattered across the old land, symbolizing a place where the dead belong. However, the River of Death within Guardian King City has been tainted by the dream realm. So, in a sense, the River of Death that’s here isn’t the genuine River of Death.’

"So, part of the authority of the River of Death has been intercepted by the Dream Realm Sovereign?"

"You formed this conclusion internally."

"At that moment, the phantom ocean waters rushed closer, ready to engulf you. In the chaos, you vaguely heard fragments of eldritch ravings, impossible to describe in human language."

"You’re not interested in listening and have no intention of experiencing what it’s like to be consumed by the Dream Realm Sovereign."

"The crow’s cawing echoed in your mind. Just as the phantom ocean waters were about to submerge the Wisdom Library, your vision..."

...

...

"Holy crap, wait, wait, wait. Don’t restart yet—I haven’t freeloaded at the Destiny Store."

Yang Qizhou quickly stopped the text refresh,

He didn’t check how many special items like Destiny Fire Bottle or False Road Marker had been sold at the Destiny Exchange, nor did he care to. Instead, he directly examined his balance.

Current Old Sacrifice total: 37,600.

"Looks like items like Destiny Fire Bottle and False Road Marker from the Destiny Store are selling, but not particularly fast."

"So, what should I buy this time?"

After thinking earnestly, Yang Qizhou split his Old Sacrifice balance into four portions, buying Destiny Fire Bottle, False Road Marker, Homeland Communication, and Destiny Chain as special items."

However, he didn’t hang all of them up for sale this time."

Understanding the principle of creating scarcity, he planned to wait until all items in the Destiny Exchange were sold out before listing these—even faster sales might result."

"Alright, freeloading phase over. Dark Crow of Profane Fortune, you can restart the destiny line now."

The game continues.

...

...

"The crow’s cawing reverberated in your mind, and your surroundings distorted, blurred, and shattered. When you opened your eyes again, you’d returned to the moment you last made a choice."

"The imposing and splendid Guardian King City appeared before you once more, along with the familiar voice of Kandar nostalgically recounting his fondness for this magnificent city."

"Having just escaped harm using the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune while scavenging plenty of rewards, the explorer once again faced destiny’s crossroads..."
