Yu Sheng told them everything he had learned by speaking with the dead, then added his various speculations based on those vague fragments of information.
"...He mentioned that 'the Emperor's Illusory Dream is not limited to one place.' I think that means this Otherworld has more than one entrance. That's how they managed to sneak in here even after Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain sent people to blockade the mine entrance.
"Also, the words 'Emperor's Illusory Dream' have really been bothering me. Does that mean this Otherworld is actually a dream? Or that its entrance is a dream? Or perhaps its opening conditions and control methods are related to dreams?
"Based on the information we have, every time this Otherworld opens, explorers see different things after entering. In theory, the process should be random. But these men in black entered the same desert as us and were even able to lie in ambush around these giant divine soldiers ahead of time. That means they must have found some way to reliably enter a selected 'scene' within the Otherworld, and even determine in advance which scene people entering through other entrances will find. Of course, it could also be a pure coincidence, but the odds are far too low.
"Emperor's Legacy, Emperor's Illusory Dream—all this information revolves around an 'Emperor,' yet we have no idea who this 'Emperor' actually was..."
Yu Sheng paused at that point and couldn't help turning to Xuan Che again. "Does Great Void Spiritual Pivot truly have no legends about this? Like some ancient powerhouse whose legacy transformed into a secret realm after his death..."
Xuan Che had been frowning slightly all this time, listening with utmost seriousness, but now he still shook his head solemnly.
"If such a powerhouse really existed, I would definitely know about him,"
