CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 299: MOTHER’S CROWN

"The true nature of the Four Indescribable Lands can only be known by those who have reached the level of the ’Old King.’ Otherwise, simply possessing the knowledge itself would bring catastrophic harm."

"An Old King?"

"Perhaps when the game characters reach this level, the secrets within will finally be unveiled."

Yang Qizhou muttered under his breath, once again shifting his gaze towards his phone.

...

"One of the Four Indescribable Lands, the ’Dream Realm Sovereign,’ is actually resisting the erosion of the Pillar-level Old God’s territory and authority?"

"You find it somewhat hard to imagine,"

"After pondering for a moment, you quickly come to a decision,"

"Even though you still don’t know the true purpose behind the ’Dream Realm Sovereign’ choosing you as their Divine Favored, at least for now, they have maintained a benevolent stance. To save you from the hands of ’Beauty,’ they even descended in person, leading to the death of a Pillar-level deity. The ’Desolate Mother’ may be deceiving, may harbor terrifying plans, but in the face of the blessing of the ’Four Indescribable Lands,’ they likely wouldn’t dare act recklessly."

"You say in a deep voice... ’What is the complete and true title of the Dream Realm Sovereign?’"

"The ’Desolate Mother’ revealed a pale and confused expression... You, as the Favored of the ’Dream Realm Sovereign,’ don’t know their full title?"

"Both parties fell into brief silence."

"Lena and Sera, seeing you agree to cooperate with the ’Desolate Mother,’ grew extremely anxious. Since the very beginning, they harbored immense doubt and hostility toward this ’Evil God,’ and wanted to whisper their objections—but they were stopped by the look in your eyes."

"The dominator of dreams, the source of all illusions, the ruler of beauty and despair—Father, Father, this is the full title of Mother’s main persona... A cheerful voice sounded. It was ’Big White’ speaking, his tone tinged with a sense of eager anticipation."

"Having already made your decision, you naturally didn’t delay any longer and immediately began reciting the complete title of the ’Dream Realm Sovereign.’

"Soon, an ethereal eye opened in mid-air,"

"Unrecognizable by any language you have heard, an indescribable voice echoed within the temple... ’I have perceived it all. Speak—what is the method?’"

"The ’Dream Realm Sovereign’ knows everything that has transpired here... Have they been watching all along? Upon hearing this, you intended to explain, but a look of shock surfaced on your face."

"You glanced again toward ’Lena’ and ’Sera,’"

"Both now wore vacant expressions, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. The sheer astonishment could no longer be held at bay—evident fear now marked their faces."

"First was the ’Desolate Mother’—well, considering they govern an Old God Kingdom, they are highly likely a Pillar-level Old God. Then came one of the ’Four Indescribable Lands,’ which subjected these two women—who don’t even hold any divine status—to such an experience. Truly, it pushes them far beyond their limits."

"You thought to yourself silently..."

"As you continued to contemplate, the ’Desolate Mother’ confirmed the agreement and began an enigmatic, unknowable dialogue with the ’Dream Realm Sovereign.’ This exchange lasted for ten minutes."

"’Respected Dream Realm Sovereign, one aspect of a Great Existence—I will honor the contract with you...’" A soft, alluring, and thoroughly enchanting voice, capable of fulfilling every desire of mortal men, rang out. It was the ’Desolate Mother,’ who now brimmed with elation, as though receiving some extraordinary promise."

"Mhm..."

"With the response from the ’Dream Realm Sovereign,’ the ethereal eye vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"Finding this curious, you questioned ’Big White’... The ’Desolate Mother’ should be a Pillar-level deity. If they wanted to collaborate with your mother’s main persona directly, they could certainly achieve that on their own—why would they involve me? And why such elation?"

"’Big White’ hopped around, seemingly in an understandably joyous mood, and did not hide the truth from his old father, saying..."

"Father, you just don’t know—’Mother’s’ main persona, no, ANY persona of Mother, refuses to see ANY deity, including the ’Desolate Mother.’ As for the reason? I don’t know. But what’s certain is that the ’Desolate Mother’ can only interact with Mother through you."

"The Dream Realm Sovereign won’t meet with any deity, not even Pillar-level Old Gods?"

"As thoughts surfaced in your mind, you recalled what ’Big White’ mentioned earlier—that the ’Dream Realm Sovereign’ makes every effort to avoid eroding the territory or authority of Pillar-level Old Gods, even exerting considerable effort to prevent it. This seemed to connect a few threads of the larger picture."

"You once again looked at the vessel of the ’Desolate Mother,’ an exceedingly anomalous and beautiful woman... ’What agreement did you reach with the Dream Realm Sovereign?’"

"’I’m sorry, Favored One—that, I cannot reveal,’"

"The opposing party shook her head."

"Meanwhile, the ethereal pollution disappeared visibly, as the ’monsters,’ as if drained of all life, melted into pools of blood. The temple, once oppressive, horrifying, and burdened with calamity, gradually returned to its original sanctity."

"It seems that the crisis has been resolved—yes, indeed, involving a ’Pillar-level’ deity, this outcome might truly be the best possible result. You thought to yourself."

"Just then, the floating headpiece perched on the altar suddenly appeared before you, moving at a speed that seemed to defy the constraints of space and time. Simultaneously, the voice of the ’Desolate Mother’ resounded... ’Dream Realm Sovereign’s Favored One, accept this gift as compensation for past offenses.’"

"The ’headpiece’ was connected to an Old God Kingdom—the desolate land ruled by the ’Desolate Mother.’"

"The thought arose in your mind: you instinctively wanted to refuse. Then another thought quickly replaced it—that as the Favored One of the ’Dream Realm Sovereign,’ the ’Desolate Mother,’ now having solidified an agreement, shouldn’t harbor any ill intentions. Moreover, ’Big White’ was right there beside you, offering no sign of concern. You extended your hand at last."
