CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 334: PLACE A HEAVY BET_2

"No matter what, at least for now, the ’Dream Realm Master’ is still on my side. As for His true intentions, I’ll worry about that later," Yang Qizhou muttered as he calmed his thoughts.

He first glanced at ’Mr. Death,’ noticing that the latter was focused on his phone. He surmised in his heart that it must be the divine battle between the ’Master of Millions’ and the ’Deception Lord’ reaching a new turning point at a critical moment. Pulling his gaze back, he returned his attention to his phone.

The game continued.

...

"Could it be that next, the ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ will delve further into the essence of the ’Doomsday Land,’ enabling me to acquire more ’Doomsday Artifacts’ and indirectly control the Doomsday Land?"

"This notion surfaced in your mind instinctively."

"You waited for Him to speak further."

"But just at that moment, an unimaginable upheaval unfolded before you. The crimson world in front of you began to tremble violently, as if struck by an inconceivable force. A surge of emerald-green Power of Nature materialized above the Sky Dome, hazy and twisted, gradually solidifying into the shape of waves flowing like an immense sea."

"As the river split open, a shadow of infinite and indescribable scope—large enough to fill the entire cosmos—manifested above the Sky Dome. Countless eyes opened and targeted you, emanating palpable malevolence."

"This is... the King of Nature... How could His power infiltrate the ’Doomsday Land,’ symbolic of the cosmic end?"

"Your heart surged with shock."

"You anxiously looked toward the ’Doomsday Trumpeter,’ only to find Him awash with calm. His three pairs of gray wings shimmered lightly as He murmured in His cryptic ravings... ’The symbol of ’space-time’ has no pillar and did not originate ’above the pillar.’ It operates mechanically, driven by primal will. Though the ’King of Nature’ has yet to ascend to that level, He has breached the pillar’s layer and can exert deeper influence on other ’symbols.’ He is ascending along the ’river of time’ and approaching the ’Day of Universe’s End,’ aiming to use it to enter the ’Doomsday Land.’"

"So this is the power ’above the pillar’?"

"Terrifying beyond imagination."

"You couldn’t help but mutter to yourself, growing even more perturbed. Even though the ’King of Nature’ suffers the backlash of the ’Divine Curse’ after breaking through the pillar’s layer, the vast reserves of Old Sacrifice accumulated from ruling the Radiant Kingdom for millennia still allow Him to sustain Himself for five minutes. That is enough time for Him to descend upon the ’Doomsday Land’ and obliterate me. Not even the Blessing Fire of ’Destiny Power’ could ensure my resurrection."

"As for escaping the ’Doomsday Land’ to return to the Real World, I’d still have to confront the ’King of Nature,’ which would make things even worse."

"Is this truly a dead end?"

"You found yourself torn."

"With no other option, you turned to the ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ and pleaded sincerely... Please help me stop the ’King of Nature.’

"The ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ shook His head."

"Not even one of the ’Nameless Lands,’ the exalted ’Doomsday Land,’ can halt the ’King of Nature’... You asked with a hint of provocation.

"Not ’cannot stop,’ but ’must not stop’..."

"The ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ answered slowly... If you’ve ever come into contact with the ’Nameless Lands,’ you would know that They do not interfere with the Real World, and They go to great lengths to avoid such actions. This touches upon the secret of our essence. When you reach the Old King’s status, you will understand."

"Hearing these words, you thought of the ’Dream Realm Master’ and recalled the ’Deception Lord’s’ look of incredulity when learning that the Master of Millions would descend upon the Real World."

"Previously, you were doubtful of such claims; now, you believed them a little more."

"At this moment, the ’King of Nature,’ already so distorted and indescribable—a unity yet a multitude, a phantom seemingly encompassing all—was steadily solidifying. He was reversing through the river of time, steadily advancing toward the ’Doomsday Land.’

"Seeing this spectacle, you became increasingly alarmed and couldn’t help but inquire... "

"But here in the ’Doomsday Land,’ the very world you reign over, is intervention still not an option?"

"The ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ responded with the same unperturbed demeanor... Has anyone ever told you that ’doomsday’ inherently belongs to me?"

"Doomsday as a symbol originally did not belong to the ’Doomsday Land,’ one of the Four Indescribable Lands? The magnitude of the information contained in this statement was staggering, leaving your mind momentarily frozen. A flash of insight ignited in your thoughts, vaguely grasping the essence of the ’Nameless Lands.’

"But just then... a tidal force of unreality rippled through your consciousness. It was not a symbol of anything within the cosmos, an undefinable and indescribable presence. This force, seemingly drawn by some unfathomable lure, surged toward you but ultimately stayed beyond the realm of all concepts, constrained by unbreached thresholds."

"This must be the corruption stemming from the essence of the ’Nameless Lands.’

"Your heart jolted in alarm, and you dared not delve further."

...

Real World.

When the text refreshed to the statement, ’Has anyone ever told you that doomsday inherently belongs to me,’ Yang Qizhou instinctively began to associate with the idea. Just like the ’game character,’ an illusory tide momentarily appeared before his eyes, emerging from beyond all concepts, surging toward him with an unnerving pull.

Fortunately, Yang Qizhou halted his mental associations in time, compounded by the ’game character’s’ restraint from recklessly probing further. Thus, the tidal force of unreality from beyond all concepts ultimately did not breach the boundary between fiction and reality.

"The essence of the Nameless Lands is even more terrifying than I imagined,"

"The end of the First Epoch, the cataclysm that ended an epoch and blindsided all Old Gods and Ancient Dominators—perhaps the truth behind these events is far more complex than imagined, possibly even transcending the ’Lord of Blasphemy.’

Yang Qizhou muttered to himself, his tone tinged with lingering fear, as he refocused his attention on the phone.

The game continued.

...

"You dared not continue contemplating."

"Nonetheless, you confirmed that the ’Doomsday Land’ was not lying; He indeed could not truly interfere with the Real World to prevent the ’King of Nature’s’ arrival, for this pertained to the essence of the Nameless Lands."

"Is there truly no way out...?" you asked, your complexion growing darker.

"The ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ appeared calm, as though everything was still within His control, and said placidly... The beacon remains; it has not been destroyed. You should carry the element capable of breaking through this predicament. Think carefully—what is it that you hold which fundamentally mismatches this world?"

"Fundamentally mismatches this world?"

"Do I truly possess such an item?"

"You found yourself bewildered, but then, a sudden flash of insight illuminated your mind."

"Indeed, there is one item I hold that fundamentally misaligns with ’this world.’

"You produced an object resembling a pristine, translucent droplet."

"Item Name: Pure Void Attribute."

"Status: ???"

"Characteristic: ???"

"Category: Consumable."

"Description: Originating from the Mysterious Town within the Four Indescribable Lands, it is connected to the cataclysm of the ’First Epoch’s’ end that blindsided all Old Gods and Ancient Dominators. It conceals secrets pertinent to the universe’s Origin, possessing ’uniqueness’ that makes it impossible to replicate in any manner."

"Effect 1: Can be combined with any mystical object/ancient object to produce unforeseen transformations."

"Effect 2: Can be combined with oneself to produce unforeseen transformations."

"Note: Maintaining purity ensures the attribute’s maximum potential."

"Precisely, this is the item obtained in the Land of Prayer Light, from the ruins of the Dota Clan—the same object that provoked intense reverberations within the Mysterious Town of the Nameless Lands... Pure Void Attribute."

"Seeing this item and sensing the hazy aura it exuded, the ’Doomsday Trumpeter’ revealed a faint smile... Truly unexpected. You managed to acquire such an object; ’Dream’ has indeed placed significant bets on you."
