CHAPTER 619: CHAPTER 618: UNQUALIFIED BELIEVER

After a moment of trance, the extraordinary power around him made Lu Zixun come to his senses.

He had been forcibly pulled into a dream.

The only person who possessed such a derivative ability and could manage to pull Lu Zixun into it was Yun Yanming.

Why had this man suddenly approached him?

Not understanding why, Lu Zixun decided to stay put and see what Yun Yanming intended to do.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of someone lightly knocking on the door echoed.

Before Lu Zixun could speak, Yun Yanming pushed open the door and entered, his gaze falling on Lu Zixun with a cold smirk.

Standing with his hands behind him at the door, Yun Yanming began, "Originally, I thought you were just a Spiritual Ability User blessed with luck, but now it seems you are not so simple, Lord Xun."

Yun Yanming’s words clearly indicated that he had discovered Lu Zixun’s unique ability to remain lucid even within dreams.

"No matter what, we were old friends for a time, so isn’t speaking so directly a bit inappropriate?"

With a light chuckle, Lu Zixun, who was not frightened at all, said, "You didn’t come here today just to remind me, did you?"

Although Yun Yanming was a G-level Spiritual Ability User,

for Lu Zixun, who was on the verge of reaching G-level Spiritual Energy, surviving under Yun Yanming’s hands was too easy.

And the Sky-splitting Gem was still usable.

During this Time Stop, even an F-level Spiritual Ability User could be killed by Lu Zixun!

Emboldened, Lu Zixun left Yun Yanming somewhat indecisive.

He was uncertain whether Lu Zixun was truly fearless or simply bluffing.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Yanming’s presence weakened.

He walked into the room calmly, and like before, took off his coat and placed it on the sofa.

"I know you can contact the Elf Walker, otherwise I can’t explain how you remain lucid in dreams."

Yun Yanming paused and squinted his eyes, "It’s a pity this ability only allows you to stay lucid. After all..."

With a flick of his wrist, the world outside the window began to collapse, the whole world rapidly disintegrating as if it were Judgment Day.

Turning his head to look at this extraordinary capability, a contemplative look appeared in Lu Zixun’s eyes. Was this the power the Nightmare could wield?

Admittedly, this ability was quite formidable.

Even if he knew it was a dream, being struck by these scenes could inevitably cause some psychological damage.

How many could face such things and stay lucid, instinctively dodging and thereby losing the combat advantage?

However, Yun Yanming specifically showed this as if he didn’t want to fight with Lu Zixun—it was more like a warning.

With a slight curl of his lips, the nonchalant Lu Zixun, having guessed Yun Yanming’s intentions, said, "I indeed can contact the Elf Walker, so tell me what you want to do."

Although dealing with smart people saves effort, the feeling of having one’s thoughts seen through isn’t too pleasant.

Yun Yanming said lightly, "To stop the connection of the Four-layer World and, if possible, to bring forward the connection of the Five-layered World."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun knew this was a good chance to glean some intelligence,

Immediately showing a puzzled look, "The ability you are using, is it the Derivative Ability granted by the Bloody Moon? Then, why would you want to stop Crimson’s plan?"

The scene in the dream shifted again, and the surroundings of Lu Zixun and Yun Yanming changed, arriving at a vast grassland.

This ability...

The endless grassland was reflected in Lu Zixun’s vision.

A faint scent of grass lingered at his nose as if he had truly arrived at the grassland.

"Sometimes, having the ability doesn’t mean one should sell out their principles."

After stating this expressionlessly, Yun Yanming, with hands behind his back, looked out at the grassland, "In such conditions, the arrival of the Divine isn’t a blessing but a disaster. The world would descend into Purgatory, and catastrophe would ensue."

This Yun Yanming, always spoke in roundabout ways.

Lu Zixun’s eyes squinted slightly, and after a moment’s thought, he said, "You have a way to stop the arrival of the Bloody Moon, but it requires a significant sacrifice?"

"If I had that ability, the Crimson Land wouldn’t be connecting with other worlds."

A self-mocking smile appeared, and Yun Yanming turned to look at Lu Zixun, "Later, I will tell you the location of the connection point. All you need to do is inform the Elf Walker."

Before Lu Zixun could respond, the dream began to dissipate like fragments.

The ground beneath Lu Zixun’s feet cracked, and he fell into the ground.

"Meow!"

An overwhelming sensation of weightlessness came over him, and Lu Zixun cried out as he opened his eyes, the surroundings suddenly becoming normal.

An Xiao was gone, and just as Lu Zixun was searching the room for An Xiao, the door was pushed open.

Believing he might be dreaming within a dream, Lu Zixun cautiously looked toward the door.

He saw An Xiao holding some snacks, slowly walking in. Seeing Lu Zixun awake, she gave an embarrassed smile, "Oh, you’re awake?"

Lu Zixun being forcefully pulled into the dream was naturally known to An Xiao.

However, seeing that Lu Zixun appeared unharmed, An Xiao had simply left the room to start snacking.

"You’re saying, that Nightmare doesn’t want the Bloody Moon to arrive?"

An Xiao’s hand, which was moving chips to her mouth, stopped, and she incredulously looked at Lu Zixun.

"I don’t know if it’s true, but that’s what was told to me."

Shrugging his shoulders, Lu Zixun was unsure of the truth.

But since Yun Yanming made it a point to visit, the reliability of his statement was quite high.

"All these Divine they worship, aren’t they like idiots once they start believing? How can there still be hope that the Divine does not arrive?"

A confused look appeared on An Xiao’s face, making her look particularly adorable.

"You are how old, and still acting cute?"

Helplessly retorting, Lu Zixun shook his head and continued, "You haven’t told me yet, what’s the issue with the emergence of the connection point."

"It’s just too early. The Insect Breeding Ground hasn’t fully merged with the Crimson Land yet, and already a second connection point has occurred. It’s already a strange affair, not to mention, this connection point can also connect to the Four-layer World." An Xiao explained.

"?"

Seeing Lu Zixun didn’t understand, An Xiao continued, "That is to say, the second connection point shouldn’t appear before the two worlds have completely merged, and the connection points of the Four-layer World are also under human control. How could the Deep Divers possibly..."

She cut herself off halfway through, swallowing her words as she saw the photo of the Deep Diver’s corpse laid out on the table.

"Maybe the rules changed?"

Tilting her head, An Xiao felt a headache coming on, "To connect to the Five-layered World, we need to find the passageway; otherwise, we’ll have to contact people from the Five-layered World."
