Protagonist

Black Tide Island.

A place that had nothing to do with Linsey, yet whose name he frequently heard, suddenly came to mind.

Linsey looked at the girl leaning against her:

"Wala Wala, why do you think you were dragged into this world?"

Without even thinking, Wala Wala replied:

"While I was still exploring that Hallucination Dream, I had just reached the beach when I suddenly felt dizzy and ended up here."

Linsey confirmed:

"So you didn't cross any Impression Channel or entrances to Hallucination Dream?"

Wala Wala nodded earnestly and said:

"I'm absolutely certain, no!"

"..."

"Even with the long history of the Seven Seas Alliance, the number of artists at the Eighth Stage is certainly limited."

Linsey remarked.

What follows may put a lot of psychological pressure on Wala Wala.

But he learned something during his adventure, and he was absolutely certain of it.

The more dangerous the moment, the more open and honest we must be about disclosing important information. We cannot conceal important information and thoughts because of various concerns, as this could lead to fatal misunderstandings.

Then Linsey spoke up:

"Wala Wala, that Eighth Stage artist on Black Tide Island, he must have also created Hallucination Dream, right?"

As soon as Linsey spoke.

The expression on Wala Wala's young face immediately froze, and her tone became timid and hesitant.

"There should be... there should be."

Linsey continued to advance the topic:

"Do you think it's possible that he created this world?"

Once Hallucination Dream is created, it becomes a normal world capable of operating independently.

Even if the Creator dies, it will not affect its existence.

Now that all this information has come together, it has prompted Linsey to think about this aspect.

"..."

When faced with this question, Wala Wala fell silent.

Her experiences and background still cast a shadow over her mind, making her completely unwilling to think about it.

But after Linsey brought up the idea...

Wala Wala, having experienced her own ordeal, is now forced to acknowledge the possibility of this scenario.

Suddenly Wala Wala made up her mind:

"Linsey, don't worry about me, you guys get out of here first!"

"This world is very likely connected to the artist from Black Tide Island. As long as that guy is involved, things will definitely not be safe!"

You must leave immediately!

Upon hearing this, Ala Song immediately rolled his eyes.

The one-armed painter began to wonder if his impulsive act had led to his own demise.

It's rare to have a period of peace and quiet.

He heard that the Seven Seas Alliance was holding Art Festival and wanted to come and visit, but who knew he would get involved in this kind of thing.

Now look what's happened, even the Eighth Stage of Fallen Artist has been dragged into this!

Ala Song lay down on the raft, his tone somewhat listless:

"Tell me, who exactly are you two?"

"One person's skill is unheard of, unseen, and so bizarre that it cannot be described in words; the other person is involved with the Fallen Artist of the Eighth Stage."

"Is this really a place where an ordinary Fifth Stage painter like me can get involved?"

Although Ala Song kept complaining.

But after he lay down, he picked up the paintbrush, and his Essence entered an active state.

He had no intention of leaving.

Ala Song's attitude was simple.

Having embarked on this adventure, he had no intention of abandoning his companions or giving up halfway!

Linsey's answer was even simpler.

He reached out and patted Wala Wala's head, speaking in a firm yet gentle tone:

"Wala Wala, you know my answer."

"..."

In an instant, the girl's eyes began to redden.

She lowered her gaze to hide her expression, and said quickly:

"The Master of Black Tide Island is a creator."

"Scripts, painting, music, songs, and everything related to creative art are all within the scope of her skills."

Upon hearing this explanation, Linsey's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

This Fallen Artist possesses the ability to create scripts; within the artist's system, that is... Destiny Script!

Linsey looked at her own Attribute Panel, then at the Wala Wala in front of her.

Many of my past doubts came flooding back to me.

An even more ominous premonition began to emerge at this moment!

"..."

Linsey walked directly to the edge of the raft and generously spread out planks on the sea.

In the blink of an eye, a large expanse of tightly connected wooden planks appeared on the sea surface.

"Hmm, the area should be enough."

Linsey nodded slightly.

Then, right in front of Ala Song and Wala Wala.

He pulled his shop back up and laid it on a wooden foundation in the sea.

At the shop's main entrance, Hilude, who had lost her mind, was still sitting mechanically at the service counter.

Linsey took two steps into the room, pulled Hilude out, and temporarily released her from mind control.

Hilude remains trapped in the agony of imprisonment.

The prolonged lack of self-control caused her thoughts to become chaotic.

After a few seconds, the artist's emotional power surged forth.

Her crimson eyes regained their luster, but her legs simultaneously lost strength, and she collapsed to the ground.

Hilude raised her head slightly, looking at Linsey with a mixture of pain and fervor:

"My hero, is this my punishment?"

"The best approach is to not succumb to my script, but to make the right judgment based on one's heart!"

"Those who manipulate fate deserve this torment!"

"I didn't drag you out here to discuss my thoughts and feelings," Linsey said coldly. "I'm asking you, what are the consequences of using the Destiny Script to spy on artists in Ninth Stage?"

Hilude answered quite frankly:

"To peek into the artists of the Ninth Stage —that's simply impossible."

Linsey continued to press:

"What if it's just something related to the topic, something you glimpse occasionally?"

Hilude still shook her head:

"That would only leave you shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to see through the other party."

Linsey's heart sank:

"What if the fate of prying is Eighth Stage?"

"That must mean severe brain damage..." Hilude's expression suddenly changed as she answered, "I see! My hero, the test of fate does not come from..."

Before Hilude could finish speaking, Linsey pushed her back down.

The girl then became a shop assistant and lost her ability to react once again.

"Call--"

Upon receiving this answer, Linsey took a deep breath.

Many experiences welled up in my mind.

Why do artists who want to see the Destiny Script go mad?

If this damage truly stems from the influence of Ninth Stage awakened being.

So how come the actress Fenna, who is in the Eighth Stage, can so easily remove the damage that Seth suffered?

The Hallucination Dream's rampage did not occur at the opening of the Art Festival.

To be precise, this crisis suddenly erupted after Wala Wala successfully advanced to the Sixth Stage!

On the Task Bar of the Attribute Panel.

Who is the true protagonist described in the Rewritten Destiny Script?

After Linsey had these thoughts, the quest "[Hallucination World Lost Path]" was displayed as "[Completed]".

The mission to uncover the truth and return to the Real World has already been accomplished ahead of schedule.

The fact that the task is now marked as completed only means that the former has also met the requirements.

— Uncovering the truth.

"So that's how it is..."

Rumble!

At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sea.

Linsey looked into the distance.

The once calm, dark sea suddenly became restless, and as the waves rose and fell, disaster emerged from the shadows.
