CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 316: RETURN TO THE ’REALM OF LIGHT

"You stand deep in the North Realm Abyss, not far from the ’Endless Abyss’; with just another chant of the full revered name of the ’Cang’s Green Bird’, you could draw ’Harriet’s’ attention and enter the ’Realm of Light’, gain more understanding of the ’King of Nature’s’ schemes, and increase the cards you hold against ’Asgard’."

"However, the divine ceremony of the ’Deceiving Apostle’ has also already begun; if you do not return now, you worry you might miss the upcoming upheaval."

"You are caught in hesitation,"

"You feel extremely troubled."

"As you waver between decisions, the cheerful voice of ’Xiaobai’ reaches your ears, telling you many details about the divine ceremony of the ’Deceiving Apostle’, including the essence of the ceremony, the conspiracy for the descent of the ’Deception Lord’, as well as the current upheaval in ’Asgard’."

"This should be the information given by that Evil God of the Dream Realm, ’Mother of Beauty and Fertility’, right?"

"You subconsciously thought of this possibility."

"You did not dwell further, nor did you ask ’Xiaobai’ about the source of the information; instead, you focused your attention on this incident."

...

A bit... abrupt indeed.

Yang Qizhou narrowed his eyes; it seemed to him that the game character would definitely suspect the source of the information, then ask ’Dabai’, thus exposing the player’s existence, or ’Dabai’, revealing clues within its words, would lead to the discovery of the player’s existence.

But this segment of the plot actually rounded out the flaw.

Is it a coincidence?

Or system correction.

Is the relationship between the player and the game character really as you think it is?

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, yet he couldn’t figure it out. Yang Qizhou helplessly continued to focus on the phone screen.

...

"The divine ceremony, oh no, it should be the ’Deception Lord’s’ Divine Descent Ceremony, still has more than half an hour before it’s completed; although time is a bit tight, overall it’s still manageable."

"You quickly made up your mind,"

"Using the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ and the ’Devil’s Disguise Skin’ to conceal yourself, you then begin to chant the full revered name of ’Cang’s Green Bird’. "

"Cang’s Green Bird soaring in the sky, you are the protector of the Forest Hundred Clans, and also the god of sowing Life Rain, I pray to you..."

"The chant quickly ends."

"One second passes, two seconds pass, three seconds pass, yet the guiding did not appear as imagined."

"Has something happened to Harriet? A change occurred in the Realm of Light? Is the Endless Abyss attacking?"

"Your brow furrowed unconsciously,"

"You took out a talisman glowing with dark radiance, it was ’Destiny Replay’, though using the power of miraculous items near the Endless Abyss involves great risk, after hesitating for a few breaths, you decided to use the power of the ’Residual Ring of the King of Truth’, to see if a path to the Realm of Light can be opened."

"Just then, a voice full of eagerness to show off from Dabai joyfully said... Daddy, daddy, are you trying to find a Secret Realm, hmm, kind of like a wall-like one, I can take you in."

"You were taken aback for a moment, then became pensive."

"You’ve always suspected that Dabai’s birth was related to the fall of the ’Beauty’ pillar, and since the Realm of Light was once the burial ground for the ’Beautiful Wizard King’, if that’s true, then it’s no wonder Dabai could find the Realm of Light."

"You gently stroked its soft, white fur, coaxing it like a child... I knew it, my Xiaobai is the best."

"The floating, praiseful Xiaobai, full of enthusiasm, no longer delays, its body covered in white fur fluffing up, baring its teeth and staring intently at the space ahead; slowly, slowly, a twisted scene completely unlike the mist-covered North Realm Abyss appears before your eyes."

"A city grand like a wall, filled with a sacred aura of a Green Tower, and enormously tall Northern Realm Clan members one by one."

"This is indeed the ’Realm of Light’."

"’Xiaobai’ hopping joyfully, eyes looking at you, blinking continually, with a "praise me quickly" look on its face."

"It can indeed open the pathway to the ’Realm of Light’, seemingly confirming that your speculation was correct, ’Xiaobai’ does indeed have numerous ties with the fallen ’Beauty’ pillar."

"You became even more certain of your original assumption."

"You patted ’Xiaobai’, storing it away, and then stepped into the ’Realm of Light’."

"As soon as you entered this grand Secret Realm, you immediately sensed how different the atmosphere is from before, devoid of vitality, lifeforce, or sanctity, instead filled with heaviness and murderousness, with passersby from the Northern Realm Clan all wearing somber expressions."

"What happened after I left?"

"You were filled with doubt,"

"However, you did not remove the effect of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ or inquire with the residents, especially since due to the death of the last ’Prophet’, the Northern Realm Clan’s attitude toward you harbors quite some hostility, revealing your presence now might entail considerable chaos."

"After contemplating for a moment, you quickly decided... not to interfere with the internal matters of the ’Realm of Light’, only to find Harriet and clarify the King of Nature’s scheme."

"You decided to first visit Harriet’s foster parents to see if she had returned,"

"You proceeded in accordance with your vague memory,"

"You continued moving forward."

"You were in a Hidden State, the passing Northern Realm Clan members did not notice your presence."

"Before long, you arrived at Harriet’s foster parents’ home."
