Chapter 206: Chapter 204: Skirmish Between Dreams and the Dark Night

Upon seeing the contents on the screen, Yang Qizhou was immediately startled.

’The seal of the Lord of Blasphemy has disappeared?’

Could it be that during the game character’s departure from the Valley of the Silent, something terrible had occurred here?

Yang Qizhou thought of the previous storyline,

where, with the help of ’Little Seventeen’s’ guidance, the game character had cracked the Inner Illusion Realm, leading to the appearance of an illusory eye that left behind these words:

"The world ushers in Doomsday."

"Dreams shall inevitably return."

Could these events be related to the disappearance of the Lord of Blasphemy’s seal?

Unable to figure it out, Yang Qizhou could only refocus his attention on the smartphone screen.

The game continued.

"The seal left by the Lord of Blasphemy has disappeared."

"Your heart skips a beat as you immediately recall the illusory and indescribable eye, as well as its prophecy, suspecting that this might be an omen of calamity."

"At the same time, within the ’tributary of the Dream Realm,’ a terrifying presence has perceived you. The illusory purple ocean begins to boil, surging forth from the depths of the tributary. Nightmarish visions aim to engulf this world."

"The scenery before your eyes suddenly shifts,"

"You see yourself seated on an incredibly luxurious throne, surrounded by the stars. All beings prostrate themselves before you in reverence. As you bask in chants of praise, you hold the authority of the cosmos, embody every symbol, and enslave all divinity, ruling this land with the power of ’Fate.’"

"You... have become..."

"The Lord of Blasphemy."

"It all feels so real, so enticing, as if imbued with a strange magic that makes one reluctant to wake up."

"Yet, you remain calm. For some unknown reason, you discern the illusory dream from reality, like two overlapping planes, so false that you cannot immerse yourself in them,"

"You turn your gaze toward the ’Mysterious Shadow,’"

"This Favored of the Lord of Night has also succumbed to the dream, where the terrifying being has woven countless beautiful falsehoods for it."

"However, perhaps due to the power of the ’Night,’ it still manages to maintain clarity. Or maybe it had prepared in advance. The ’Mysterious Shadow’ does not lose itself in the Dream and instead begins to chant slowly."

"Sovereign of the Eternal Night Curtain,"

"You are the lord of ancient silence,"

"And the eternal unknown."

"..."

"A sudden realization strikes your heart... Could this be the full True Name of the Lord of Night?"

"At that moment, you see the darkness surrounding the ’Mysterious Shadow’ suddenly twist, inflating like a balloon, spreading and permeating. Countless ’Night’s Children’ converge, forming a massive and eerie Holy Emblem that represents the ’Night.’"

"Soon, you witness this balloon-like expansion collapse suddenly, and an even denser, more illusory, and more unspeakable purple ocean crashes down like a tide."

"The Lord of Night has unleashed a flood into the tributary of the Dream Realm, flowing into the Eternal Night Curtain."

"Another surge of clarity strikes you."

"At that moment, a shrill, piercing, and sinister voice emanates from the ’tributary of the Dream Realm’... It turns out that the Favored of the Lord of Night was trying to leverage the symbolic resonance of ’like attracts like’ to purge the Dream-related corruption within the Eternal Night Curtain. This is the divine mission entrusted to you by the ’Old Gods.’ Unfortunately, you chose the wrong target. This is no ordinary tributary of the Dream Realm but one of the twelve primary branches. Your method won’t succeed but will instead worsen the corruption within the Eternal Night Curtain."

Yang Qizhou stopped refreshing the text and pondered deeply.

He had long suspected that although the ’Mysterious Shadow’ was formidable in status and authority, comparable to a Star Spirit deity, purging the corruption of the Eternal Night Curtain caused by the Dream Realm was a clash between cosmic-pillar-level entities, the Lord of Night and the Dream Realm Sovereign. Such an arduous mission couldn’t possibly be entrusted to a single Favored.

Now Yang Qizhou understood. Many of the Lord of Night’s Favored had been sent to locate the tributaries of the Dream Realm. The ’Mysterious Shadow’ was just one among many.

The game continued.

"Next, you witness the illusory purple ocean rise in defiance, swallowing the ’tributary of the Dream Realm’ flowing out from the Eternal Night Curtain. Not only that, it flows upstream, threatening to corrupt the Eternal Night Curtain itself."

"This was clearly beyond the ’Mysterious Shadow’s’ expectations. It begins to chant the full True Name of the Lord of Night again, this time with greater fervor and urgency."

"But alas,"

"Faced with one of the twelve primary branches of the Dream Realm, the ’Mysterious Shadow’ is simply too weak. Not only did it fail to prevent the fusion of the two Dream tributaries, but it also suffered substantial corruption, becoming lost in a myriad of separate illusory dreams, unable to discern its identity."

"You hear an evil voice echoing from the Dream Realm Tributary... ’Fate’ is coming. The primordial being is breaking free from its shackles and regaining its original majestic form. And I shall inherit its legacy, seizing control of this tributary of the Dream Realm to become the next Dream Realm Sovereign.’"

...

...

This section was packed with information, prompting Yang Qizhou to pause again for further analysis.

"’Fate’ is coming? Could this signify the return of the Lord of Blasphemy?"

"Furthermore, according to this indescribable entity’s narrative, it seems the current Dream Realm Sovereign is not in its original form. Instead, this godhood has become a shackle from which it is striving to break free."

"The pollution of the Guardian King City, the corruption within the Eternal Night Curtain,"

"It’s highly likely that these are measures implemented by the current Dream Realm Sovereign to achieve this very goal."

Yang Qizhou rubbed his temples and muttered:

"The Dream Realm Sovereign, one of the Four Indescribable Lands, rules over the Dream Realm. And judging from earlier texts, the birth of the Ten Nameless Lands likely correlates with the calamity at the end of the First Epoch, which caught all Old Gods and Ancient Dominators by surprise."

"And based on the Mysterious Shadow’s account, the true nature of the Dream Realm is unspeakable, indescribable, and unnamable. Only beings surpassing the Divine Sovereign level, such as the Ancient Old Kings, might glimpse their true forms. Otherwise, terrifying repercussions would ensue."

"What exactly are their true forms?"

Unable to draw a conclusion for now, Yang Qizhou set the issue aside.

The game continued.

...

...

"Despite being a Favored of the Lord of Night, the ’Mysterious Shadow’ was ultimately too weak, and its divine favor insufficient. Unable to resist the horrors emanating from the primary branch of the Dream Realm, it was forcibly pulled into the Inner Dream Realm. There, amidst the endless nightmares, it was devoured by an unfathomable terror, becoming food for the Dream Realm’s Children."

"You activated the protective effects of the Dream Hidden World Clothes, avoiding detection by the being who controlled the tributary of the Dream Realm."

"Because of your ability to discern illusory dreams from reality, you did not succumb to these false visions. While the brutal clash between the Eternal Night Curtain and the Dream Realm unfolded, you remained unscathed."

"A grin spread across your face,"

"With the death of the ’Mysterious Shadow,’ the Fire Stealing Village is temporarily safe from the unknown horrors lurking in the wilderness."

"But your expression soon darkened. Your thoughts turned to two methods to cleanse the Night Lord’s pollution from the Star Hiding Compass."

"The first method: Seize the moment when a rift opens in the Eternal Night Curtain to chant the full True Name of the Lord of Night, offering the return of the ’Lord of Night’s Lost Authority’ in exchange for requesting His removal of the Compass’s taint. However, this method carries significant risks. First, returning the Lost Authority of the Lord of Night might please this cosmic-pillar-level deity, but He is under no obligation to assist. Secondly, as a cosmic-pillar-level being, He can easily pierce through the effects of the Dream Hidden World Clothes, discerning your identity as a Wizard and possibly harboring disdain for you."

"The second method: Leverage your ability to see through dreams and reality to delve deep into the tributary of the Dream Realm. Use the opposition between the Eternal Night Curtain and the Dream Realm to purify the Compass’s taint."

"An adventurer in the Otherworld, always fond of freeloading and employing despicable tactics, once again stands at a fateful crossroads."

"Will you choose to seek assistance from the Lord of Night, offering His Lost Authority in exchange for His purging of the Star Hiding Compass’s corruption?"

"Or will you instead venture into the tributary of the Dream Realm, attempting to cleanse the Star Falling Compass’s corruption?"

"Make your choice."

...

...

’The Lord of Night’s Lost Authority?’

Yang Qizhou hesitated briefly before recalling something. Back in the Guardian King City, he had acquired two ’Legendary’ mystical objects. Besides the Heart Dream Source, the other was called the ’Lost Night.’ Its description mentioned that it once belonged to the Lord of Night—a fragment of His Lost Authority."

"Couldn’t they just mention the name of the mystical object directly? Why insist on calling it the ’Lord of Night’s Lost Authority’? Almost forgot about it," Yang Qizhou grumbled before concentrating on the available choices.

He grinned once more,

"For others, choices might dictate life or death and the narrative direction of the storyline, but for Yang Qizhou, they represent rare opportunities for freeloading."

"Two choices, each with their pros and cons. However, if given the option to request the Lord of Night’s assistance, I find myself leaning toward delving into the tributary of the Dream Realm, utilizing the opposition between the Dream Realm and the Night to cleanse the Compass’s corruption."

"After all, as the saying goes,"

"You can always trust the power of the gods, but never their mercy."
