CHAPTER 698: 157, EARTH

With the response from the Divine Dream Envoy echoing, countless mortals were slightly reassured.

Lin Yue couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Was it really not the Demon God?

After he provided the Crown Prince with information about those three rules, the Crown Prince believed that the Divine Dream Envoy might not belong to the Demon Clan.

Even if the Demon Clan thought it was highly unlikely he, the King Xia, knew about an appointed matter, if by chance he did know this, the Demon Clan would inevitably fall into a disadvantage, and if they couldn’t win over the people’s hearts, wouldn’t the true dreamscape technique be wasted?

Therefore, the Crown Prince speculated that the Demon Clan might have someone from the Human Clan, who had defected, prove themselves as the Divine Dream Envoy.

This first question was used to confirm this point.

After all, he had the right to specify inquiries and rebuttals, and could ask anything freely, as within the true dreamscape, one couldn’t lie.

Now, it seemed that the Divine Dream Envoy was indeed a member of the Human Clan, such as... that prince who had defected to the Demon Clan?

Lin Yue immediately sent a message, "Second Brother, can you check if any prince is absent at the moment, or suspected to be connected to this true dreamscape? I’m referring to the three who have been proven."

Among the princes, the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince had all proven themselves.

Soon, the Second Prince sent a message back, "Currently, they are all in Di Hong City, without connections to other illusion realms."

In terms of mental abilities, he was considered invincible in the world. Not only could he discern if one’s Dao Heart was perfect, but he could also determine if the Second Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method had been practiced.

"Could it be a Second Primordial Spirit?" Lin Yue asked again.

"The Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince have not practiced the Second Primordial Spirit; otherwise, I would certainly be able to discern it after practicing the separation of the Primordial Spirit." The Second Prince responded, "Do you have a suspect?"

"I am not sure."

Lin Yue said, "I only know that among the princes, one has already defected to the Demon Clan and has helped Duanmu Yan, but who exactly it is, I am unclear. At this moment, the one controlling the dreamscape is not from the Demon Clan, but a Human Clan member. I thought perhaps it was the prince who had defected, but now it seems it might be some other proven existence from our Human Clan."

His heart stirred, and he immediately said, "For instance, the former court State Preceptor? Or the Venerable from Eternal Night Mountain?"

Judging from the intelligence inferred from Liangwang City, the former court State Preceptor had likely betrayed the Human Clan.

"If there are no other traitors among the proven Human Clan, then it should be the Eternal Night Venerable."

The Second Prince sent a message, "If the proven experts are within the borders of the Great Yong Kingdom, even the Crown Prince might not easily track their movements, but when they cross the borders, the Crown Prince is fully aware. Since the founding of the country, the former court State Preceptor has never entered the Great Yong Kingdom."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and sent a message, "It seems that this Divine Dream Envoy is either the Eternal Night Venerable or another proven Human Clan member?"

"Your master has never concealed his presence, so he can be ruled out. The only proven experts hiding their presence are the Three Religions Patriarchs and the Grand Princess, Second Princess. However, the Grand Princess can also be excluded."

The Second Prince said, "All the Three Religions Patriarchs have practiced the Second Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method, the Second Princess has not, so it should be one of them."

Lin Yue felt deeply puzzled.

Could the Grand Princess be excluded?

He was also perplexed about why all the Three Religions Patriarchs had practiced the Second Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method, while the princes and princesses of Xia Hongshi had not?

Practicing the Second Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method, one couldn’t prove a perfect Dao, but why not practice it after proving the Dao?

However, now was not the time to ponder these matters.

"Gather the Three Religions Patriarchs now; by seeing who doesn’t show up, won’t you know who it is?" Lin Yue immediately said.

"How could it be that easy?"

The Second Prince chuckled softly, "It’s simple to find the Second Princess now, but the Three Religions Patriarchs inherently fear the Divine Emperor and the Crown Prince. Even if the Crown Prince personally invites them, they will only send an avatar, not showing their true body."

Fear the Divine Emperor and Crown Prince?

Lin Yue was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"

"This is somewhat complicated to explain." The Second Prince shook his head, "In short, it’s related to destiny. They are unwilling to be killed by the Crown Prince, so they won’t directly appear before him."

Lin Yue came to a realization.

No wonder the patriarchs of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism had never descended in their true form for over a thousand years; they only appeared as avatars occasionally.

Now it seemed that besides avoiding worldly interactions to not be entangled with the heavenly order, perhaps they were also wary of the Crown Prince?

"Determining who the Divine Dream Envoy is, is also quite troublesome."

The Second Prince said, "The Crown Prince is capable of finding out, but the cost would be damaging the Divine Array. Probably, the Demon Clan would be eager for him to do so."

"It seems the Demon Clan had already prepared for this." Lin Yue whispered.

The divine thought exchange was but a moment.

At this time, within the true dreamscape, after the Divine Dream Envoy answered that he was of the Human Clan, he calmly asked, "Is this answer satisfactory, Your Highness?"

"Blood Sea Saint Mother, continue."

The Crown Prince’s indifferent voice resounded again.

Having prepared beforehand, the Blood Sea Saint Mother was unsurprised and continued, "Among the Human Clan, there are also traitors who have defected to the Demon Clan. You, being Human Clan, have you defected to the Demon Clan?"

"I have never defected to the Demon Clan. As I said, everything I do is for the Human Clan."

The voice of the Divine Dream Envoy remained as calm as ever.

And within the illusion realm, countless mortals let out a sigh of relief, perhaps it was just a misunderstanding?

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and sent a message, "Second Brother, it seems it’s really possible that it’s the Venerable from Eternal Night Mountain. Could it be that Eternal Night Mountain has this mindset? Some still desire only to remain part of the Human Clan, thinking what they do is solely for the Human Clan, merely using the Demon Clan."

The Second Prince sent a message, "The questions the Crown Prince assigned to the Blood Sea Saint Mother are meant to ascertain the identity of the Divine Dream Envoy."
