Chapter 185: Chapter 183: Dream Erosion

"Very soon, you stepped into the ’Universal Treasury’."

"Your goal was clear: the Arcane Treasure Boxes whose seals were broken by foul powers, but whose contents were not contaminated by the forces of ’dirt’ and ’uncleanness’."

"You searched for a long time."

"Unfortunately, many of the marvelous objects, ancient artifacts, and mysterious materials had already been destroyed and were no longer usable. The most valuable items remaining were the Old Sacraments."

"You quickly decided on three Arcane Treasure Boxes containing the largest quantities of Old Sacraments."

"You obtained 1860 Old Sacraments."

"You obtained 5870 Old Sacraments."

"You obtained 3720 Old Sacraments."

"This harvest was clearly quite satisfactory. But as a greedy explorer, you weren’t easily content, and your attention shifted to the fourth Arcane Treasure Box. You thought, ’The Gate City has already fallen, and the All-Knowing Anruyan, one of the governors, is likely no longer around. Taking a few more Arcane Treasure Boxes shouldn’t be discovered.’"

"But before you could act, the ’maid’ had already appeared."

"She expressed her regret to you, stating that in the ’Universal Treasury,’ the most common items were the Old Sacraments. While not without value, they were far inferior to the treasures of the upper and middle tiers."

"This was indeed true; in the ’Universal Treasury,’ there were treasures far more valuable than the Old Sacraments."

"But alas."

"Those treasures had all been destroyed under the corrupting power of ’dirt and uncleanness.’"

"Naturally, you wouldn’t voice these thoughts and instead expressed satisfaction with your haul."

"The maid curtsied and continued, ’Honorable wizard, let us now proceed to the final stop, the Divine Prayer Room of the All-Knowing Anruyan. It is the temple where the master praised the Wisdom God, and the place where he stored countless knowledge and hidden messages.’"

"You certainly wouldn’t decline and readily expressed your agreement."

"With the maid leading the way, you soon arrived at the Divine Prayer Room."

"Seeing the scene before you, you were astonished, for this wasn’t merely a ’room’ but rather a grand temple built within an ancient castle for prayer."

"A majestic altar, the solemn Holy Image of the Wisdom God, chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and more."

"But alas."

"As with other areas in Gate City, this place was also filled with the corruption of ’dirt and uncleanness.’"

"Under the maid’s guidance, you quickly grasped the origins and functions of various items in the Divine Prayer Room, including prayer mats, the Holy Grail, sacrificial objects, and more. Finally, the maid presented a book and solemnly informed you that it was the Gate Book, an important document eligible only for possession by the seven governors. It recorded major events of Gate City and was generally forbidden for outsiders. However, as a wizard—a shepherd of the Ancient Gods, a being nobler than deities themselves—the All-Knowing Anruyan had said that if you wished, you could freely peruse it."

"What a coincidence; you had been wondering whether this ancient castle contained any details pertaining to the Mystical Rite of Divinity."

"You certainly wouldn’t refuse."

"The Mystical Rite of Divinity was of great importance; it may have involved the mystery of Gate City’s fall, the true location of the Gate, and even clues about the Wisdom God."

"You immediately expressed your willingness."

"Before long, the maid handed the Gate Book to you."

"As you opened its pages, the significant events that once occurred in Gate City slowly unfolded before your eyes."

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: This was a holy day. The Radiant Kingdom ruled by the Ancient Gods was established, and the embodiment of cosmic wisdom—the great Wisdom God—divided part of this land into a Divine Domain, renaming it Wisdom’s Edge. On this very day, under the blessing of the Wisdom God, Gate City stood proudly on this land.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: Although the Gate remained sturdy, the evil powers from the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea constantly threatened the land. The great Wisdom God foresaw impending calamities and selected powerful Favored to become Gatekeepers, tasked with guarding and isolating the world of reality from the worldlines of the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: The first batch of Gatekeepers was born, and the Wisdom God invited the Oath King to establish the initial order of Gate City.]

[Fourth Epoch...]

"These are Gate City’s ancient histories—valuable for their mysticism but not what you immediately need."

"You began to flip through the pages rapidly, soon reaching the later sections."

"And there, you found the information you sought."

Could it be the exact location of the Gate?

Upon seeing the text, Yang Qizhou, who had been somewhat bored, immediately perked up.

In truth, like his game character, he was not overly concerned with the reasons behind Gate City’s fall, nor the mystery of the Wisdom God’s disappearance. He was far more interested in the Hidden King Wizard Tower in the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea beyond the Gate. After all, it contained the deactivation materials for the Hidden God’s Clothes, critical for resolving the latent dangers of this quasi-legendary ancient object.

Yang Qizhou grew impatient, even tapping the screen faster than before.

The game continued.

"Indeed, as expected, the residence of the All-Knowing Anruyan, one of Gate City’s seven governors, contained the information you desired."

"Smiling, you eagerly began flipping through."

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: Something bad had begun happening in Gate City, and increasingly frequently. Both the seven governors and most of the Gatekeepers believed it very likely that the powers of the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea had infiltrated the real world, corrupting this land.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: We climbed to the peak of the Holy Image, searching for cracks in the Gate.]

"The Gate is at the peak of the Holy Image?"

"You mentally noted this, suppressing your excitement, and continued reading."

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: Despite employing every method, we could not locate any damage to the Gate. It seemed the infiltration from the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea was even more insidious than we had imagined.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: The increasingly frequent occurrences of troubling incidents filled Gate City with unease. Many Gatekeepers felt a profound sense of crisis and petitioned the Governor Council to employ the Mystical Rite of Divinity and seek the Wisdom God’s guidance. After deliberation among the seven governors, it was deemed the only feasible course of action.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: The Gatekeepers began preparing the Mystical Rite of Divinity.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: The Mystical Rite of Divinity was completed, and the Divine Descent Ceremony proceeded smoothly. Yet, something none of us—the seven governors or the Gatekeepers—had anticipated occurred: the projection of the Wisdom God during the Divine Descent was incredibly unstable, appearing ready to dissipate at any moment. Moreover, the revelation He provided left every Gatekeeper dumbfounded.]

[The revelation: Dream Erosion is consuming the land of Wisdom’s Edge. It is a calamity far worse than the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea. Gate City will be the first to suffer—all the troubling incidents are merely preludes. The true catastrophe is imminent. To prevent this, you must align with your former nemesis, the Lord of Filth from the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea. Accept His baptism and become part of His symbol. The time is set for XX Year, XX Month, XX Day.]

[The revelation ended there. The projection of the Wisdom God seemed heavily disrupted and quickly vanished.]

[Neither the governors nor the Gatekeepers could believe this revelation, as it defied logic. As Guardians of the Gate charged with preventing the infiltration of Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea, the idea of abandoning resistance and willingly accepting the baptism of the Lord of Filth was incomprehensible.]

[We even suspected the projection of the Wisdom God had been impersonated by the Lord of Filth—that it was false, a malicious scheme.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: Erosion intensified, with many unable to distinguish dreams from reality. Troubling incidents grew increasingly frequent, forcing us to reconsider the Wisdom God’s revelation.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: Another governor went mad, killing several Gatekeepers. Though subdued by the remaining governors, the shadow over Gate City had taken root.] frёewebηovel.cѳm

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: More horrifying events unfolded. Despite our reluctance to accept this fate, we had to act if only to preserve a shred of hope, a Fire Spark for the future.]

[Fourth Epoch, XX Year, XX Month, XX Day: On this day, all the Gatekeepers gathered at the First Sacrificial Ground. Amid prayers to the Wisdom God, we welcomed the filth’s arrival.]

...

"The information revealed in this text was immense."

Yang Qizhou carefully interpreted it.

"According to the text, the disaster encountered by Gate City didn’t originate from the Polluted Mountain and Tainted Sea but from Dream Erosion."

"Could it be connected to the Dream Realm among the Four Indescribable Lands?"

"Moreover, through the Mystical Rite of Divinity, the descending Wisdom God—was He truly the Wisdom God, or, as suspected by the Gatekeepers, the Lord of Filth pretending, orchestrating a conspiracy?"

Faced with limited information, Yang Qizhou couldn’t untangle the threads. He could only hope the unfolding story would provide more insight.

He continued the game.

...

...

"You closed the Gate Book, exhaling deeply. Though it unveiled much of Gate City’s past, the details remained highly vague. Whether Dream Erosion, filth disaster, or wisdom’s descent, none could be clearly confirmed."

"Soon, a smile spread across your face."

"But one thing was certain—the Gate’s location was atop the Wisdom God’s Holy Image."
