Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Shearing the ’Old Gods Believer’ Sheep

Not just the game character—Yang Qizhou suddenly remembered this matter himself.

Back then Yang Qizhou had just started playing [Deceit World]. His game character was wandering near the ’Moonlight Ancient God’s Sacrificial Altar’ when, during the first fate line, it picked up the beginner’s package [Dream Realm Mother Goddess Flower Seed]. Moments after, the Moonlight Ancient Holy Statue collapsed, crushing the character to death.

Later, Yang Qizhou used the ability of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to return to the moment before he made that choice.

Since the effects of [Dream Realm Mother Goddess Flower Seed] were far too bizarre, and because Yang Qizhou suspected there might be other good items nearby the Moonlight Ancient Holy Statue, he abandoned this epic-tier artifact and continued searching, eventually finding ’Kan Rui’s Wizard Ring’ in the base’s inscriptions.

Then the absurd storyline unfolded—

[Dream Realm Mother Goddess Flower Seed] suddenly blossomed, and the Moonlight Ancient Holy Statue became pregnant, giving birth to the Dream Realm’s Child. The newborn brutally killed the game character before disappearing without a trace.

At the time, Yang Qizhou didn’t think too much about it.

Who could have predicted that the Moonlight Ancient Holy Statue and Dream Realm’s Child would return for revenge?

"No wonder I always felt like I’d forgotten something—not all that important, but still involving Dream Monsters... Turns out it was this damn thing."

"Wait..."

"If the game character hadn’t taken [Kan Rui’s Wizard Ring], causing the suppression of [Dream Realm Mother Goddess Flower Seed]’s power to vanish, the Moonlight Ancient Holy Statue wouldn’t have become pregnant. The Dream Realm’s Child wouldn’t have been born. ’Fire Stealing Village’ wouldn’t be in its current terrifying predicament, nor would Alice have suffered unimaginable contamination and severe injury in her dreams."

"So essentially, all of this is the game character’s fault."

If Alice and Lena found out that the ’Dream Realm’s Child’ was unleashed because of the game character—what reaction would they have?

Yang Qizhou shuddered violently, already envisioning the game character’s tragic fate.

This is something that has to stay buried forever.

I won’t say a word, even under threat of death.

Continue the game, continue the game.

"Your heart clenches. You realize that if Alice were to learn the Dream Realm’s Child was unleashed by you, even the use of [Holy Redemption]’s effects might not earn you forgiveness."

"You decide to take this secret to your grave."

"You glance ahead at the stunning figure, once again overwhelmed by Alice’s beauty. Yet it’s a shame this woman is utterly terrifying—a monster wrapped in human skin."

"A thought begins to form in your mind: an attempt to exploit her."

"You reckon Alice, as an Old Gods believer, must have knowledge of many hidden truths, and you decide to seize this chance to dig for information."

"Feigning a contemplative expression, you suddenly lift your head and ask Alice..."

"’What is the Original Darkness?’"

Yang Qizhou suddenly perked up.

The true meaning of ’Original Darkness’ had haunted his mind for a long time.

After all, Yang Qizhou possessed an ’Original Darkness’ artifact—a quasi-legendary ancient object: [Hidden God’s Clothes].

According to the Deceiver who masqueraded as ’Rest Angel’ Archer, ’Original Darkness’ was a phenomenon even mighty gods couldn’t ignore. The mysterious presence within the River of Death’s depths, which had fixated its gaze on the game character, was somehow intrinsically linked to ’Original Darkness.’ Yet, Yang Qizhou was clueless about the deeper secrets.

As a believer of the ’Lord of Night,’ Alice might have insights into this enigma.

Yang Qizhou couldn’t help but be intrigued.

Text continued refreshing.

"You see Alice’s surprised expression, as though she hadn’t expected the phrase ’Original Darkness’ to escape the lips of a filthy, pathetic, and weak adventurer like you."

"Alice doesn’t immediately answer your question. She counters by asking... Does this have any relation to eliminating Dream Monsters?"

"Exploiting ’Old Gods believer’ Alice, you respond without hesitation... Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn’t. It’s unclear for now. But if I don’t know what the ’Original Darkness’ truly is, then it definitely doesn’t."

"You notice a hostile glint in Alice’s eyes, as though she could see right through your intentions. Your gaze falters, unsure where to land."

"In the end, Alice answers your question."

"She claims not to know exactly what ’Original Darkness’ refers to, only that it is tied to the authority of ’gods,’ interwoven deeply with the Sequence, and that the animosity between the ’Lord of Night’ and ’Dream Realm Master’ is centered around their contention over ’Original Darkness.’"

"Sequence?"

"You take note of the unfamiliar term, committing it to memory."

Yang Qizhou sat upright on the couch.

He stopped refreshing through text and began to analyze.

"’Original Darkness’ is linked to the Sequence, and the Sequence is a secret highly valued by gods of High Position. The ’Lord of Night’ and ’Dream Realm Master’ oppose each other over the struggle for ’Original Darkness.’"

"So I guess I’m pretty lucky..."

"[Hidden God’s Clothes] is an ’Original Darkness’ artifact, definitely within the desires of ’Dream Realm Master.’ According to [Dream Realm Mother Goddess Flower Seed], the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’ is highly likely aligned with ’Dream Realm Master’s’ faction of Evil Gods."

"Had the game character not immediately looted the corpse of the ’Dream Hidden King’ upon its fall, merging its remains with [Bloodstained Rags] to form [Hidden God’s Clothes], then promptly used ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s’ ability to reset the world line, loading back to an earlier decision point and erasing the act of looting the corpse—I wouldn’t have kept that quasi-legendary ancient object without drawing the ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’s’ ire. The odds of retaining such an artifact would’ve been slim."

"Dark Crow of Profane Fortune for the win."

It turned out obtaining [Hidden God’s Clothes] had been fraught with peril, narrowly avoiding the attention of the terrifying entity presiding over ’Beauty’ and ’Fertility.’

This was the same being that made the ’Dream Hidden King’ pregnant—a horrifying existence.

Being targeted by Her definitely wasn’t something favorable.

Yang Qizhou felt an immense sense of lingering dread.

Continue the game, continue the game.

"Unhappy with how little you gained from your exploitative efforts, you pause for a moment before asking Alice another question... What sort of existences are the Silver Country and Golden Country? And what’s their relationship?"

"You see Alice, half-asleep, fix her intense gaze onto you before asking again... How is this relevant to eliminating Dream Monsters?"

"Having grown accustomed to such scrutiny, the explorer now faces it without shame or hesitation, looking Alice directly in the eye before responding bluntly... Same answer as before. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But if you don’t tell me, then it certainly isn’t."

"With her dream-contaminated state impacting her ability to think deeply, Alice forces herself to concentrate and ponder for a moment before offering an answer."

"Alice explains that the ’Golden Country’ is one of the Four Indescribable Lands upon the ancient earth, inhabited by terrifying Outside Gods. The ’Lord of Night’ regards them as formidable adversaries. Any lifeform entering the ’Golden Country’ is subjected to contamination and distortion, turning into mindless creatures who worship the ’sun’ without end."

"As for further hidden truths about the ’Golden Country,’ Alice admits she hasn’t had the opportunity to delve deeper and cannot provide answers."

"And as for the Silver Country..."
