Robin looked at Caelus and said, her singing doesn't have the ability to wake people up, and it might even improve sleep quality because it's too pleasant to listen to.

"It's my duty, leave it to me."

Caelus was determined to go against his Uncle. He was happy to help Robin, so he naturally stepped forward and got close to her.

"It sounds like a very thorough plan, but it's still a bit... idealistic and romantic."

Black Swan was responsible for pouring cold water. Even if thousands of Pathstriders came, they would only possibly shake Sunday's dream. She needed to point out the other side of the plan.

"Indeed, Miss Black Swan. The power of the Choir of Harmony is no different from that of an Envoy. Ultimately, it requires an equal force to confront it. The final step to overthrowing the beautiful dream... will be completed by me."

Acheron said to Black Swan. After all the detours, it still came down to a brute force solution. As the saying goes, it's soldier to soldier, general to general. As long as Acheron could subdue the Choir of Harmony, everything would be fine.

Chapter 124 I Want to Give You a Bad Review

"It's reassuring to hear you say that."

Black Swan's expression softened. She liked seeing Acheron confident, and Caelus naturally liked it too. He was already the number one fan of the Acheron Club, and this powerful ally had never disappointed him.

"Since the plan is set, let's each do our part."

Robin said, preparing to return to the beautiful dream to face her brother. Before leaving, she gave Caelus a gentle look, filled with unspoken words. If they succeeded, Robin would not shy away from her feelings. As the saying goes, true feelings are revealed in times of hardship, and Caelus's unwavering devotion was etched in her heart.

"Acheron, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Caelus asked Acheron. Although they had planned a lot, the key still lay in the clash of Envoy powers, and only she could accomplish it.

"For people in dreams to wake up, it's not just about external force, but more about them saving themselves."

"You know, human instinct is survival. Once life is threatened, no matter how beautiful the dream, people will instinctively wake up."

"So what I need to do is make everyone feel the threat of death. It's like someone sinking into the deep sea, their body and spirit enduring immense pressure, naturally causing them to desperately float upwards."

Acheron said calmly, not realizing how dangerous her words were. And she actually had the power to split Penacony with a single strike. Sunday would probably black out if he knew, because if everyone in the Paradise were gone, he wouldn't be able to be a commander anymore.

"As expected of you, it fits my stereotype of self-destroyers."

Black Swan said with a smile. Just as she thought, the key to breaking the deadlock was still with Acheron. The others were also necessary, but without Acheron, it would be difficult to achieve the goal.

"Simply put, you're going to press down on these sleepyheads, shove their heads into the water, that's too much, Acheron."

Caelus said, stroking his chin. Acheron's move to flip the table and not play anymore was truly formidable. Sunday had schemed so much, but he never expected Tirnan to appoint an Envoy of the Void as the executor of his will.

Caelus now really wanted to sing a song. This was the bond of Trailblazing. The Trailblazing predecessors had blazed trails to the end of their lives, still assisting them.

"Are you ready? If you're ready, I'll send you back to the Great One's Dream."

Acheron said to Caelus. This was the interstice of dreams. Since they had woken up from the Great One's Dream, they needed some means to go back, and she knew how.

"What about Firefly? Why don't I see her?"

Caelus asked in confusion. He thought Firefly should have woken up by now. Even if she couldn't wake up on her own, she should have woken up with the help of Black Swan's companions. There was more than one Rememberer here.

"That girl is still fighting Sunday. You need to hurry." Acheron said.

"Wait, she didn't enter the Great One's Dream?"

Caelus was completely taken aback. Acheron was only telling him this important information now. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to help Firefly immediately.

"Yes, I wasn't present at the time, but Firefly once said she doesn't have the function to dream. For her, Penacony is just a more convenient reality. The Great One's Dream might be effective for her, but she should have woken up on the spot."

Acheron nodded. Firefly's willpower was not something normal people could compare to. She was a veteran of Glamoth who had fought her way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Dan Heng had wanted to have the battle-hardened Xianzhou soldiers break the deadlock, and Firefly was naturally such a person.

"As expected of Firefly, she's like a war god."

Caelus also sighed. He heard that there was no real death in dreams, so he could rest a little easier for now.

"Acheron, I'm ready. Let's act according to your plan."

Caelus said to Acheron. She nodded, and the surrounding environment was quickly enveloped in black and white. Only the vibrant red patterns and flowers on Acheron's body became the only colors in this world.

"In the long night ahead, you will likely encounter many setbacks and witness many tragedies, but by your side, I will always be with you."

Acheron drew her Katana, Mu, from its sheath. With a slash of her sword, a ray of light appeared in the black and white world.

On the other side of the light was the Great One's Dream maintained by Sunday. At this moment, all the black water from Acheron's slash poured into the Great One's Dream. The people enjoying themselves in Penacony's beautiful dream were shocked to find a crack in the sky, and floods poured in.

Caelus stared at the scene in disbelief. He thought Acheron's earlier mention of drowning in the deep sea was a joke, but she had actually summoned a flood to drown Penacony's beautiful dream. This was the power of an Envoy of the Void, terrifying indeed.

"I'll wait for you to return to the world of clarity."

Acheron gave Caelus a faint smile and reached out to grab his arm. Caelus also grasped Acheron's arm, and they looked at each other. A miniature reflection of a passage appeared in Caelus's pupils. When he came to his senses, he was already standing on the stage of the Grand Theater, facing Sunday in the form of the Choir of Harmony.

Around Caelus were March 7th, Himeko, Welt, and Dan Heng. They had all woken up and were facing Sunday with him. However, before that, Caelus ran to Sam's side.

Sam was kneeling on the ground, the flames burning on her still not extinguished. It was unknown how long she had been fighting Sunday. After all, Firefly was facing an Envoy. It was fortunate that there was no death in the Great One's Dream, allowing her to continue fighting, almost holding on like this, waiting for everyone to arrive.

"Ah Caelus, I knew you would definitely wake up by yourself."

Firefly's voice came from inside the armor. The reason she held on until now was because she knew Caelus would come and would never be lost in Sunday's dream.

"Don't talk, rest well. Leave the rest to me."

Caelus immediately activated the Harmony power he had accumulated for a long time and poured it all into Firefly's body. With the boost of Harmony, she immediately felt much better.

"Awake from the dream of Order."

Sunday looked down at everyone on the train and said, "It wasn't unexpected that these people would wake up. Those with the will to Trailblaze are the hardest to defeat. While I'm confident in the power of Order, they also have the protection of an Aeon."

"Your beautiful dream isn't beautiful at all! I can only give it one star!"

Caelus pointed at Sunday and said. If anyone was going to mess with someone's head, it was Caelus. He could say anything at this point, even curse a bit, but to call a Dream Weaver's craft bad and then threaten to leave a bad review? Sunday was genuinely infuriated.

Chapter 125: Listen carefully, this is art!

"What's wrong with the Great One's Dream! Reality is too cruel, sometimes it makes people unhappy, sometimes it doesn't give them enough time to lend a hand, just like it was for me, just like I couldn't make it in time!"

Sunday's voice boomed, shaking the heavens. Ever since his sister grew up, everything around him had been problematic. He told her not to go to dangerous places, but she insisted. Sunday couldn't teleport, nor could he turn invisible to stay by his sister's side. If Robin were to have an accident, how could he possibly make it in time? Even when his sister's neck was pierced by a bullet, he only found out later. What if something like that happened again one day? How could he guarantee that fate would give him another chance, instead of Robin's life being taken away directly?

Since he couldn't make it in time, why not just not go at all? It would be perfect if Robin could remain lost in the dream forever, doing her good deeds.

"I feel like if I listen any longer, I'm going to fade away?"

March 7th, who had been glaring at Sunday, couldn't help but scratch her pink hair with a conflicted expression after hearing his heartfelt words.

"It seems you won't listen to anything I say. Then I'll tell you. The only reason I woke up is because my wives are waiting for me back home. I absolutely cannot let them wait alone, looking at my picture and sighing."

Caelus tried to shout over Sunday, but he failed. The Choir of Harmony sprites around them were annoying, amplifying Sunday's voice.

"You scoundrel! You have wives and you still dare to lay a hand on my sister!"

Sunday's emotions were clearly more enraged. Caelus realized he had let something slip and could only offer Uncle a polite smile.

"Why do I feel like his momentum is even stronger? Caelus, don't just add rage points to the enemy."

March 7th complained from the side. A perfectly good second-phase boss was being made unrecognizable by Caelus again, ruining the atmosphere of the final battle.

"Woah~ oh~"

Just as Sunday was about to kill Caelus to avenge his sister, a song came from his side. This song enveloped everyone in the train crew, and the power of Harmony directly increased their combat effectiveness by nearly half. Furthermore, because Caelus also had the Harmony attribute, his Harmony resonated with Robin's, triggering even greater power.

"Robin's singing? She's woken up from the dream too."

Sunday would never forget his sister's singing. He knew that his sister had now become his enemy, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Brother, give up. This is too cruel for you, and for everyone."

Robin's voice came from the sky. She was using her singing to awaken everyone. Those people who were almost swept away by the flood all looked towards the angel who was singing. At this moment, two pure white wings appeared behind Robin. The power of Harmony was catalyzed to its maximum by her, allowing everyone to see the light of hope.

"This is our last negotiation. If your paradise can save more people, then cut off my path with your own hands."

Sunday remained as stubborn as ever. As he spoke, he began to transform from his giant form, turning his back to everyone. Caelus discovered that a large face had also grown on Sunday's back. This pale face had its eyes tightly closed, as if waiting for something.

"Caelus, come here."

Robin's voice came from above. A brilliant staircase formed by the power of Harmony descended from the sky, reaching Caelus's feet.

Caelus immediately stepped onto the staircase, which automatically retracted, bringing him to Robin's side. He then saw clearly that Robin had built a stage in the sky. She stood on one of the stages, and had prepared a similar stage for Caelus's feet.

"My singing isn't enough to awaken everyone, but I think it's close. Now, all that's missing is your will to Trailblaze."

Robin said to Caelus. All the conditions were now met, and only this final push was needed to make everyone strongly desire to wake up from the dream.

"You say that, but how do I convey my will?"

"How about trying to sing? I'll accompany you."

Robin didn't know exactly how to do it, but with their combined Harmony power, they should be able to accomplish many things. After all, Caelus was a man watched over by Xipe, his power was extraordinary.

"Okay."

Caelus lowered his head and thought. He could sing, but the question was, which song? This wasn't the Universe Super Vocal competition, so there was no need to sing something nice. He needed to sing a song that would make people want to wake up. Soon, Caelus had an idea. It was an old song that his aunt had in her favorites list.

"Baby, your brother always said I was old-fashioned! So I went to Master Wang from the village to get a perm, and he won't break us up anymore, my lady!"

Caelus directly unleashed his raspy voice, transmitting his singing to all of Penacony with an almost shouting tone.

"My goodness, how can there be such a terrible singing voice in the world?"

March 7th's bow and arrow trembled, almost shooting into Dan Heng's hair. She covered her ears with both hands, looking at the sky in shock. Not only was the singing terrible, but even more terrifying was how tacky the lyrics were, almost making her hair stand on end.

"Ugh... Ah!"

Sunday also stretched out his long arm to cover his ears. If it had this effect on a BOSS, what would it do to ordinary people?

"Shamatte, Shamatte, wash, cut, blow, wash, cut, blow, blow, Shamatte, Shamatte, wash, cut, blow, wash, cut, blow, blow!"

Caelus continued to sing with abandon, determined to spread his voice to everyone. Robin stared at him, dumbfounded. If Xipe heard this voice, would the Aeon raise a hand and slap the past Aeon, telling it not to look around randomly?

"Baby~ Your brother always said I was useless, so I followed Master Wang to learn wash, cut, and blow~ He won't break us up anymore~ My baby!"

As Caelus sang with deep emotion, he extended his right hand to Robin. Robin naturally knew he was referring to her as his baby. With a helpless expression, she was still amused by him. She extended her left hand, letting their index fingers touch, making the singing even more intense, endlessly looping "Shamatte" and "wash, cut, blow."

The listeners at this moment wished they could throw their Synesthesia Beacons into the toilet and flush them away. This demonic singing continuously echoed in their minds. Even if they wanted to poke their eardrums, they couldn't. With this, who would still be in the mood to dream? They desperately wished they could escape this terrible dream.

"The dream of Order is shattering due to the strong desire of all beings to awaken..."

Sunday's voice sounded as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He could accept his failure, but he couldn't accept failing because of this ear-raping song. It made him feel like a complete joke. Why? Why did he have to lose to such an abstract person?

Chapter 126: The Train Washes the World!

"Caelus, stop singing that Lingyi; Qi Si 6 Wu Jiu Si Ba, they've all woken up."

Robin called out to Caelus, who was still passionately performing. Caelus felt like he hadn't had enough. They had woken up just like that. He hadn't finished singing yet.

As the souls of many awakened, the colors of dawn began to appear in Penacony's night, and the dream that was called eternal night finally welcomed the day.

People were awake, but Sunday had not yet fallen. The rest was simple: defeat Sunday and restore the dream world to its original state.

Caelus nodded to Robin, then leaped from the stage in the sky, returning to stand before Sunday.

At this moment, Sunday was desperate. He wouldn't go down like this. He used the Choir of Harmony's final trump card. As long as he defeated these members of the Trailblaze crew, he would still have the strength to maintain the Great One's Dream.

"Day One, I bestow Truth."

"Day Two, I bestow Calendar."

"Day Three, I bestow Language."

"Day Four, I bestow Value."

"Day Five, I bestow Rule."

"Day Six, I bestow Meaning. Ji Linliu Shi Qiba" (2) Ba"

"Day Seven, I bestow Dignity."

"You are about to witness, Primordial Genesis!"

Sunday began his chant. After reciting all seven days, the giant he had transformed into shed golden tears from its closed eyes, and its slender arms were raised towards the sky.

"Taiyi! Return by my summons!"

As Sunday called out the name of that Aeon of Order, a rift tore open in the sky, and a large white hand reached out. This hand belonged to Taiyi, but the thumb of the palm was purple, representing Harmony's Xipe. This also proved that Harmony's power was indeed present within Order.

When the two colossal hands touched, Primordial Genesis was successfully activated. Everyone saw four golden eyes appear before them, and golden shockwaves rushed towards them. If they were hit by an Envoy's attack, they would naturally face total annihilation.

Just then, a green shield of a special hue enveloped everyone. March 7th's shield was blue, so this was not her doing. This color reminded Caelus of a flamboyantly dressed man whose representative color was Aventurine green, similar to Jade's.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seven consecutive shockwaves struck the green shield. As the last shockwave vanished, the shield shattered in response. Only an Envoy's defense could withstand an Envoy's attack. And in Penacony before, there happened to be someone who received a temporary Envoy of Preservation experience card. He had shattered his Keystone to use it, and now, some of the remaining fragments were being put to good use.

Sunday fell silent. He hadn't expected that the Envoy he was facing this time wasn't just one, but two, and one of them even had a temporary experience card. To think that this could still interfere with his final blow was truly a twist of fate.
