Chapter 813: Chapter 624: Senluo’s Ending (Part 2)
“Although we can eliminate them promptly, the frequency of Deep Sea green beasts appearing is increasing…”
“Because the power of Midnight Green is rising year by year, the frequency of caravans is decreasing.”
“During the Fire Cat Era, there were two ‘Great Dizziness’ events, where everyone lost consciousness for up to a minute. It also happened once during the Blue Bird Era.”
“Compared to a hundred years ago, average daylight has decreased by thirty minutes.”
“Since the start of the Divine Era, green beasts have been completely wiped out.”
Unlike the previous two ‘Truth Links,’ the effective information needed for the third Truth Link is not only extremely complex but also unrelated to each other. Igula’s process of deduction was very difficult, only vaguely deducing that the living environment in the Senluo Wasteland seemed to be gradually worsening. However, with so many factions fighting, if it didn’t worsen, it wouldn’t make sense…
It’s normal for green beasts to increase; after all, as more people die, despair increases, and naturally, Midnight Green would also strengthen.
What struck Igula as noteworthy was that green beasts seemed to have no concept of death.
Even if they are destroyed, devoured, or pulverized, their souls still exist in other forms. Igula didn’t know if they feel pain in this state, but the mere fact of eternal wandering without being able to do anything is already an unimaginable torture.
However, this despair is not endless. As long as the Divine Era appears, and all beings align their hearts, the green beasts would then be completely eradicated, ending the fate of eternal wandering.
With the aggregation of intelligence, the questions in Igula’s heart deepened—this information couldn’t be further deduced—what did it have to do with the ending? It seemed like there was a crucial piece of the puzzle they never found, causing the logical chain to always be broken.
A sound suddenly erupted from a distance, and Igula’s first reaction was, ‘why could they hear sound in Slowdown,’ but then he realized—just like they could influence objects, sound acted as their interaction with air, naturally having a certain active range.
He looked up and saw what he least wanted to see: in the distance, amidst the ruins of high-rise buildings, the Black Crow was chasing the Silver Lamp.
That Black Crow didn’t even have a Holy Domain, wasn’t afraid of being taken down by Silver Lamp——oh, he wasn’t afraid, Ash was nearby.
At this moment, Harvey was returning to submit intelligence, and upon seeing this scene, he knew things were troublesome, so he slowly divulged the effective clues he found: “The interval between the First Divine Era and the Fire Cat Era was 30 years, between the Fire Cat and Blue Bird Eras was 5 years, between Blue Bird and Gray Fox Eras was 3 years.”
Igula’s heart was stirred, realizing it was a very significant piece of the puzzle. But without the crucial piece, he still couldn’t——
Suddenly, Igula remembered his method of exploration in the Distant Realm.
The usual Holy Domain explorers of the Distant Realm would either break out into battle like Qikara or probe for word suffixes like Ash and others, but Igula was different from them——
He would seek out the Dream Master.
Dream Master, the master of the Dream Bubble Shadow, once the Dream Master dies, the bubble will burst.
Sometimes mages and Void Realm creatures fighting spill over to passersby, and accidentally killing a Dream Master would directly dissolve the bubble.
But few people know that Dream Masters also know the bubble’s word suffix, or rather, the word suffix arises because of the special desire of the Dream Master’s existence.
It’s just that the Dream Master is no different from most passersby, even if mages know this, it’s hard to find them. But Igula is different, he can analyze based on the bubble environment, passerby images, surrounding scenery, and gradually narrow down the range of the Dream Master until he finds them, then control the other party with Spirit Miracle.
This method naturally takes quite some time, but as familiarity increases, Igula can assess the difficulty of finding the Dream Master in the current bubble within 5 minutes, continue searching if it’s within 30 minutes, or move on to the next bubble if it exceeds 30 minutes.
Now he can explore nearly 10 bubbles in one night, which is why he gained combat power shortly after entering the Distant Realm——he has none of Ash’s secrets, none of Harvey’s Ghost King Chains, all through his own efforts.
In this process, Igula found that besides the death of the Dream Master leading to the bursting of the bubble, there were other impacts. For instance, when the Dream Master gets hurt, passersby feel pain; when the Dream Master bleeds, the bubble environment starts to deteriorate; when the Dream Master is dying, passersby no longer maintain normal status, but rather become…
It’s like an iceberg in his mind suddenly completely melted, Igula looked at the record-carved ground, all joints suddenly became clear, the deduction process completely clear——
First, “Senluo is idealistic” and “Lord Zhan’s will can directly intervene in reality” are two major truths already deduced.
“The interval between previous Divine Eras was extremely short,” the reason is straightforward, it shows Lord Zhan’s desire to swiftly enter the next Divine Era and acquire new Divine Beings.
“The Wasteland Era lasted more than two hundred years,” it only points to one conclusion: Lord Zhan’s interference with reality is not as strong as before, unable even to trigger a Divine Era! Otherwise, He wouldn’t give up on this fertile ground capable of producing Divine Beings!
“Senluo’s environmental degradation” though reasonable from a reality perspective, in the idealistic Senluo it’s very unreasonable——here, the will of all beings can interfere with reality, combined with everyone being passionate believers, their aggregated will can even create miraculous creations. In a condition where everyone seeks beauty, the natural environment of idealistic Senluo would only spiral upwards; how could it possibly decline?
However, the environment is degrading, which can only mean the will of all beings is being overshadowed by a grander will. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel※fire.net
There’s also ‘Great Dizziness’ and ‘Great Catastrophe,’ such events that impact an entire nation must be a wonder. But despite being under Lord Zhan’s protection, other Divine Lords wanting to stir trouble should have other supportive actions, why did they just wipe out the Senluoians, without occupying the Land of Senluo?
Therefore, ‘Great Dizziness’ and ‘Great Catastrophe’ could only be orchestrated by Lord Zhan Himself.
All these pieces of evidence point to two truths: the Kingdom of Senluo is an idealistic kingdom, a Dream Bubble Shadow jointly created by Senluoians and Lord Zhan.
Because it’s a Dream Bubble Shadow, Senluoians could become proficient in Great Skills, thus producing absurd fantasy creations; but because Lord Zhan’s will transcends the will of all beings, His orders become Senluo’s Fate, His physical State closely linked to Senluo.
Lord Zhan is the Dream Master of this bubble; others are just passersby in the bubble.
The second truth is——Lord Zhan, is nearing death!
Only nearing death would make him unable to maintain the divine business operation of the Kingdom of Senluo, even the ‘Great Catastrophe’ itself, it’s very possible that it was due to His body suffering a fatal blow, leading to the extinction of millions of Senluoians!
He is bleeding, which is why Senluo’s environment is deteriorating year by year; He couldn’t trigger a Divine Era, hence the wasteland lasting over two hundred years!
So the third “Truth Link” asks, ‘What is the ending,’ referring to ‘what will be the outcome when Lord Zhan steps into death in the Kingdom of Senluo.’
When people die, they involuntarily erupt with the most piercing despair due to the life instinct. Igula doesn’t believe that a Divine Lord can resist the despair of death. Instead, because He painstakingly tries to save Himself, dragging an instant of death into an incredibly long period, ultimately nurturing intensely cold malice.
He probably entered the critical state of dying seriously injured two hundred years ago, just dragged on till now, however, there still isn’t any sign of improvement.
If Lord Zhan’s death would lead to the collapse of the Kingdom of Senluo and the demise of all beings, it naturally couldn’t be stopped. But Igula, recalling the behavior of the Silver Lamp, suddenly realized another even more terrifying possibility——if Lord Zhan died, but the Kingdom of Senluo still existed, what would happen?
As the Dream Master of the ‘Idealistic Senluo’, Lord Zhan’s despair would be enough to pollute the entire land, turning into Midnight Green that exists even during daytime, strangling everybody, then——
everything would enter the most desperate ending.
In an instant, the Swindler fully understood the Silver Lamp’s thoughts. Though lacking the most crucial piece of the puzzle, this was the truth that Silver Lamp wanted Ash to know.
He abruptly stood up, grabbed Harvey, and the Necromancer said, “Alright, alright, I’ll let Alice come with me to stop it—”
Igula pressed down firmly on the Necromancer’s shoulder, a chilling murderous intent in his eyes: “We need to kill the Silver Lamp.”
“She isn’t deceiving herself, and she’s not wishful thinking, she’s just selfish.”
“The Silver Lamp must die.”
Igula’s voice was deliberate, “There is no other way to make it difficult for him.”
