The Garment of the Hidden World

"Your words dealt a heavy blow to the Fire-Stealing Priest's heart. He shouted like a madman, 'This is impossible! Before holding the God-Descending Ritual, I checked the holy relic many times. It was indeed the Rag Stained with the Great Lord's Blood; it could not have been replaced!'"

You did not speak again, not wanting to expose the properties of the Blasphemous Raven, merely hanging a provocative smile on your face.

The Fire-Stealing Priest vanished before your eyes, his unwilling roars echoing through the room. On the empty, evil altar, only you and the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World, obscured within the pillar of light, remained.

The scenery of Fire-Stealing Village became even more distorted. He was utilizing his authority, attempting to incorporate this place into his own divine domain.

You are waiting.

You are still waiting.

You see the movements of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World suddenly cease. His expression turns ferocious, his gaze becoming extremely resentful and hateful, while his abdomen begins to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

You know that the divine Great Lord before you is pregnant.

The fork in the road of fate appears before you once again. The Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World has already sensed your dirty, despicable sabotage and is furious because of it; he intends to make you taste the wrath of a god.

So, bold and imaginative explorer, will you choose to stay and witness the fate of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World?

Or will you choose to flee?

The Mother Goddess Flower Seed of the Dream Realm took effect. Yang Qizhou felt uneasy even while sitting, so he simply stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the lines of text refreshing one after another.

Fleeing is undoubtedly the best choice.

While staying might allow for fishing in troubled waters, the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World has already realized that the game character is the one behind this, and he will inevitably exact the cruelest revenge. If he kills the character with divine power, that is one thing, but if he traps the character—neither letting him die nor letting him leave, making him an eternal prisoner—then this account would be considered ruined.

But Yang Qizhou is different from other players; his Blasphemous Raven ability can perfectly avoid this predicament.

"I really want to see the scene of a god being pregnant, but it's a shame this is a text-based game."

Yang Qizhou muttered to himself and casually chose "1."

The pale text continued to scroll.

"Ignorant explorer, to dare to stay with your trash-tier strength and look directly into the wrath of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World is to show no regard for the gods."

"Illusory power surges in the surroundings, and you are imprisoned in the gap between truth and falsehood. The Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World intends to punish you, this blasphemer, in the cruelest way possible."

"At this moment, another noble and vast will descends."

"Her status is even more noble than the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World, and her authority is even greater than his. She is the symbol of beauty, the mother of all things, and an Old King who has existed since the Second Epoch."

"Residing within the dream, the root god who governs 'Beauty' and 'Fertility,' the Mother of Beauty and Fertility, has learned that the Mother Goddess Flower Seed of the Dream Realm has bloomed within an ancient god, and she casts her gaze upon Fire-Stealing Village."

"You see a massive eye open amidst the dream and reality."

"You also see the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World terrified, fearing the Mother of Beauty and Fertility, frantically trying to escape the material world, yet unable to resist the suppression of her status."

"The belly of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World is torn open, and the Dream Offspring born from the Mother Goddess Flower Seed crawls out."

It's actually a C-section.

Yang Qizhou shuddered, secretly feeling fortunate. Thankfully, he wasn't tempted by this "epic-level" item to become a "male mother" for the sake of power. Otherwise, not to mention the social death, just the birth method of being torn open from the stomach would have left him with no life left.

Thinking of this, Yang Qizhou felt quite sorry for the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World. This guy hadn't even offended him, yet he was tricked into experiencing what it felt like to be a "mother."

Amitabha, Amitabha.

Yang Qizhou continued to focus his attention on the game.

"The Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World has died."

"The Mother of Beauty and Fertility deems you an ant, unworthy of carrying her child, and departs with the Dream Offspring."

"You have witnessed a divine war. Although you are terrified, the greedy nature of an explorer once again gains the upper hand. You arrive at the place where the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World fell and begin to fish in troubled waters."

"You discover that the flesh and blood of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World have been hollowed out. This is clearly the work of the Dream Offspring, and you shiver, feeling even more afraid."

"The Rag Stained with the Great Lord's Blood on your person senses a similar property, flies out automatically, and merges with the remains of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World."

"You have lost the Rag Stained with the Great Lord's Blood."

"You have obtained the Garment of the Hidden World."

"You have picked up the Key to the Shepherd's Field."

Choosing to stay was indeed rewarding.

Yang Qizhou grinned broadly. Sometimes he wondered what would happen if he didn't have the Blasphemous Raven.

The result would be falling into the same situation as the members of the Bureau of Occult Investigation, dying over and over every day, struggling to even get a common item, let alone tricking an evil god to death and gaining numerous benefits.

He couldn't wait to check the two trophies: Garment of the Hidden World and Key to the Shepherd's Field.

Key to the Shepherd's Field (Superb): This is a key belonging to the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World, representing a portion of his symbols. The holder can open the pasture of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World and command the Root-Court Hounds to serve them. Effect: You can summon one "Root-Court Hound" to bite all enemies to death. Current quantity: 2/1.

Garment of the Hidden World (Quasi-Legendary - Old World Item): This is a portion of the "Hidden" authority that remained after the fall of the Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World, combined with the Rag Stained with the Great Lord's Blood to create this item. It possesses a certain level of vitality.

Effect 1: As long as you do not permit it, no one can know your identity.

Effect 2: You can hide your existence so that no one can discover you. This effect is automatically dispelled when you attempt to interfere with reality.

Side Effect: It will randomly "erase" things around the holder, and the value of these things will increase over time. When there is nothing left around the holder worth "erasing," it will erase the holder themselves.

Comment: You will eventually be forgotten by the world.

The excitement in Yang Qizhou's heart receded like a tide, leaving his entire body feeling as if it had been doused in cold water, a bone-chilling cold settling deep within him.

He had originally thought this would be a massive harvest, yet he never expected such a ghostly outcome.

The [Key to the Shepherd's Field] was decent enough; it could summon an invisible, ferocious Root-Court Hound. One could tell how terrifying its might was simply by the number of times his character had perished in its vicious jaws. Moreover, thanks to the blessing of the "Lord of the Dreamy Hidden World," he had broken the summoning limit to possess two Root-Court Hounds at once, significantly increasing his combat power.

But the attributes of this [Garment of the Hidden World] were truly absurd...
