CHAPTER 912: CHAPTER 486: DREAM REALM AND THE QUEEN

Rod was startled; the voice came from somewhere unknown, but it was clearly the voice of the Starry Queen.

Her spirit has dissipated, so how could she speak?

Most importantly, the phrase "Is that you?" almost completely confirmed that the Starry Queen recognized the previous Master of Dreams.

At the very least, she was aware of the Dream Realm’s existence.

How should I respond?

Time began to pass, yet still very slowly. That sense of transcending time vanished from Rod, and he couldn’t utter a complete sound, only attempt to reply within his mind.

"Are you the Starry Queen? What do you mean?"

There was no answer, and the voice seemed to disappear.

After a moment, just as Rod almost thought it was an illusion, a soft sigh reached his ears — immense loss, melancholy, and sadness, as if icy water chilling to the core.

"I’m sorry, I mistook you. I know... I knew that Heigao’er couldn’t have survived, the Dream Realm shattered, the Source Soul Body torn apart, nothing could save him, he couldn’t reincarnate..."

The voice by his ear blurred at a certain word, turning the syllable into "Dream Realm," while other syllables remained unchanged.

Rod felt a chill in his heart, realizing some invisible force was helping him mask the existence of the Dream Realm.

And the Queen’s words clearly indicated her deep connection with the Dream Realm.

"This, Your Majesty the Queen."

Rod cautiously asked.

"The Heigao’er you mentioned, is he the Northern Prince Heigao’er?"

Heigao’er was the previous Master of Dreams. When Rod first entered the Dream Realm, Heigao’er’s frenzied soul was attacking the Obelisk and then turned around to attack Rod, only to be killed by a divine blade.

His soul then automatically flew into the Dark Devourer, directly elevating this Initial Star to a stable state.

Perhaps for that reason, the Soul Strength provided by the Dark Devourer was pathetically low; even with quantification, it only amounted to thousands, though it did provide 6 units of Source Energy.

Rod knew little about Heigao’er; most of the memories from the Book of Knowledge and the doll were lost; he only knew Heigao’er was active during the Fire Epoch, but didn’t know why he perished.

If he could learn about him from the mouth of the Starry Queen, it would undoubtedly greatly assist Rod on his future path.

"It is him."

The voice by his ear became very gentle, a warm and soft voice suppressing the sorrow and loss.

"New Master of Dreams, can you tell me his fate?"

Rod hesitated for a moment but eventually recounted the whole story, only omitting the fact of his madness.

After listening, the voice by his ear was silent for a moment and then softly sighed, "I see, his soul finally returned to the Primary Star, igniting a light for the next Master of Dreams, his spirit should find peace now."

Rod solemnly replied, "In the paradise of fire, his spirit sleeps like an infant, his worries disperse like a breeze, his pain vanishes like snow, until the end of time."

The voice had a trace of choking.

"Thank, thank you, you are truly a good person..."

If one only heard the voice, Rod would never have guessed she was the majestic and powerful Starry Queen, but rather, a petite girl.

"This, Your Majesty the Queen, can you tell me how you came to know him?"

The voice softly said, "New Master of Dreams, it seems you have encountered great difficulties and lost many memories, can you tell me, how much do you know about the past?"

Rod replied somewhat embarrassed, "I know almost nothing, not even what happened during the Fire Epoch."

The voice was silent for a moment before softly saying, "When I first met Heigao’er, it was during the fall of the City of Hope."

"The terrifying black tide destroyed humanity’s last hope of revival, five teams with the last Fire Spark dispersed and left. I was a member of the retreat, but the Black Fog Demon attacked the team, and I was lost in the fallen Royal City."

"In the haunted Asedgas, where spirits wailed, Heigao’er found me and rescued me. He said I was the leader prophesied and would lead the revival of humanity."

"I am of the Star Clan, blessed by the stars, naturally possessing the Star Characteristic, with a very long life. I also have the additional Eternal Burning Fire Attribute, a born king."

"With his help, I returned to the Starry Sky City, the Holy Fire of the Starry Sky City was already lit, and Tasnia became the first King, but terrifying disasters soon forced him to take the final step, igniting the Sealing God Fire."

"Tasnia failed, his spirit returned to the Holy Fire, and I took over the Starry Throne, publicly announcing he successfully took that step and became the Starry Sky God, while I was the earthly body of the Starry Sky God... Through these methods, I stabilized the situation, and everyone thought we were saved, but in reality, the Starry Sky City was on the brink of destruction."

"At that time, Heigao’er was already seriously injured, the Dream Realm shattered, but he still desperately helped me, saying helping me was helping him. With his assistance, I stabilized my throne, receiving many refugees and the legacy of Asedgas."

"The new Starry Kingdom was quickly established and thrived, the Source Black Fog underwent a strange transformation, never intruding into this region, and the terrifying Great Black Tide suddenly vanished without a trace."

"But Heigao’er’s injuries did not improve, his Soul Body underwent irrepressible fragmentation, breaking more each day."
