"The content depicted in the murals will become reality in the material world..."

Both Klein and Leonard couldn't help but repeat Miss Justice's words in their minds.

If the fact that the murals on the other side determined the course of history in the book is merely surprising and admirable, then the discovery here is enough to shake everyone's soul and stir up a storm.

The scene you described will surely unfold on the real stage, not in a fantasy world; this is a divine manifestation!

"It can't be that exaggerated..." Leonard muttered in a tone of disbelief after repeating the statement.

Klein, as was his habit, began to analyze:

Even if it's '0-08,' it can only affect one large city, and it's difficult to exceed that range. The Sequence 1 of the ' Spectator ' pathway, the ' Author,' should be about the same... And the ' Uniqueness ' of the ' Visionary ' can be confirmed in Adam's hands... So how does this ' City of Miracles ' ensure that the content on the murals is realized?

"The divine power of the ' Dragon of Imagination '? When this book was formed, the content of the mural had already become an imprint, sinking into the Sea of Collective Subconscious, infecting all directions, thus driving generation after generation of beings to unconsciously complete this task?"

"If this is true, then creating another mural now certainly won't bring it to life, because the ' Dragon of Imagination ' has already fallen and can no longer provide divine power..."

"But we can give it a try. If the content of the new mural does indeed play out in the material world, then it means that this ' City of Miracles ' is indeed the original Liveseyd, and it holds a great secret. It also means that the ' Spectator ' pathway is more complex than I imagined."

"' Author '? There's such a name for Potion?" Leonard muttered to himself as he listened to Klein's thoughts.

Compared to " Visionary," which can be extended from " Dragon of Imagination," Potion name " Author " is clearly more eye-catching, more evocative, and gives a sense of reality stepping into fantasy.

Audrey, who already knew the name of the High-Sequence Potion from the " Spectator " pathway, had a different thought flash through her mind:

" Uniqueness... Mr. 'World' can connect and analyze so many things in an instant, that's amazing! Hmm, was my praise too direct? Mr. 'World' heard it... This hall is really hard to get used to... No, Mr. 'World,' I'm really praising you, from the bottom of my heart!"

Audrey felt a little ashamed at first, but then quickly adjusted her mindset and tried to make herself feel at ease.

"... No wonder he's a ' Psychiatrist,' he adjusted things so quickly..." Klein immediately had this thought.

"As expected, Mr. 'World' isn't as cold as he seems. He does mutter to himself. Hmm... I didn't say anything!" Audrey had barely subconsciously entertained the thought when she immediately and firmly denied it.

A voice also echoed around Leonard:

" Klein's Gehrman Sparrow. Almost everyone who knows him believes he's ruthless and insane. Heh heh, who would have thought..."

Leonard's thoughts were just beginning to wander when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice:

"Shut up!"

He glanced at Klein, who was dressed as Gehrman Sparrow, shrugged, and suppressed a laugh, saying:

"See, isn't that cold-blooded enough?"

"Cold-blooded? Then I'll just shove the ' Unshadowed Crucifix ' on your head! If you don't want the Beyonder Characteristic, donate it to someone in need!" Unable to control his thoughts through Cogitation, Klein responded instinctively.

"..." Audrey glanced at Mr. "World," then at Mr. " The Star," her inner voice racing, "So they have so much drama inside them... I could only see through Mr. ' The Star ' before, I never imagined that Mr. 'World's' poker-card-like face hid... well, Giant, Boss, Minnie..."

At the crucial moment, the experienced Audrey forcibly interrupted her train of thought by counting objects and reciting their names.

"Who are all these people?" Leonard's attention was immediately diverted.

"They are my family's hunting dogs and horses," Audrey replied politely.

"A hunting dog costs over 450 pounds..." Klein suddenly remembered that after buying the Megro Manor, the butler Walter had suggested purchasing a batch of hunting dogs.

"Why does Mr. 'World' think of price first...?" This question suddenly flashed through Audrey's mind.

Leonard pursed his lips, answering without saying a word:

"Isn't this normal? This guy has always been a bit particular about this, I remember..."

Before he could finish speaking, Klein coughed lightly and said:

"We'll continue exploring other places, and experiment with the murals when we have time later."

"Sigh, this hall is so easy to make things chaotic; the focus always seems to shift to everyone's privacy without us even realizing it..."

Upon hearing his subsequent complaint, " Justice " Audrey and " The Star " Leonard, whether they could hold back or not, burst out laughing—it was beyond their control.

Seeing that Mr. "World" clearly didn't want the situation to escalate into chaos again, Audrey raised her head, looked up at the dome, and refocused her attention on the matter at hand:

"The mural on the right controls the world within the book, while the one on the left seems to influence reality... What if the mural were depicted above? What would happen?"

Klein immediately made the connection:

"The authority of the ' Dragon of Imagination ' encompasses at least three aspects: the realm of fantasy will inevitably descend upon the material world, the proclaimed future will inevitably unfold and become reality, and imagined objects will inevitably materialize... The first corresponds somewhat to the mural on the right, the second aligns with our speculation about the left, so could the blank space above the palace be related to the third authority?"

"Just draw an imagined object on it, and it will materialize and become usable?" Audrey easily understood what "the world" Gehrman Sparrow meant.

"Then how about I draw a ' Dragon of Imagination '?" Leonard asked.

Klein glanced at him again:

"First, you need to have seen the ' Dragon of Imagination ' before it went out of control and collapsed; second, you need to be able to recreate the main details of its body; and finally, you need to be able to draw."

"... I don't know now, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future. I can hire a tutor for the relevant courses," Leonard muttered in response. "And what do you mean by 'key details'? Physical structure, or symbols and markings manifested by divinity?"

At this moment, Audrey pursed her lips to control her laughter, then said in a slightly lighthearted tone:

"I can draw."

This is a basic skill for a noblewoman, and Audrey was quite talented in this area.

"Yes, I'll try it later when I have time." Klein nodded and walked towards the giant pillar at the very front of the hall.

His plan for this exploration was to first have a general understanding of the overall situation, and then consider how to go deeper.

At the same time, Leonard's question made him think of something else:

"Symbols and symbols manifested by divinity... These contain a vast and complex amount of knowledge, allowing one to decipher corresponding Potion recipes and extraordinary abilities after enduring the impact... So, before the first ' Blasphemy Slate ' appeared, what would one gain by gazing directly at Demigod or even an ancient god without dying? At that time, there was no such thing as Potion recipes..."

"Only Mythical Creature that have risen through the ranks using Potion possess this knowledge within their divinity? Or, after the advent of Potion recipes, Mythical Creature, regardless of their method of advancement, all accumulated the corresponding knowledge?"

"If it's one of these two reasons I'm thinking of, then it means that the knowledge within divinity is changeable and can be increased... Could Angel on the ' Marauder ' pathway have the ability to Tampering with this knowledge, or even delete it outright?"

"Mr. 'World' is considering such profound things, involving such a high level... Justice," Audrey couldn't help but "sigh" from the side.

Leonard couldn't control the voice in his heart either:

"Is that so? Go back and ask the Old Man..."

" Klein knows a lot... His Acting Gehrman Sparrow isn't entirely a disguise; at least that sense of depth seems to belong to him..."

"Thank you for your praise, stop!" Holding a small vial of blood in one hand and the " Unshadowed Crucifix " in the other, Klein forcibly collected his thoughts and turned his gaze to the ancient god's "throne" not far away.

They are currently in spirit form, and although they are restricted by the hall and cannot fly, their top speed is still much faster than that of human form.

Only then did Klein realize that behind the giant pillar that resembled the " Dragon of Imagination " seat, there was a dark, downward-facing passage.

"I can't see anything, if only there were light..." Audrey subconsciously had this thought.

Then, a pure and soft light shone into the passage, illuminating it thoroughly.

Without even entering, Klein, Leonard, and Audrey could see a pair of ancient bronze doors standing at the deepest part of the passage.

The gate was covered with countless indescribable symbols, like chains extending to the back, as if sealing something, giving people a sense of heaviness and mystery.

Within the " City of Miracles " of the Dragon race, in the abode of the ancient god, behind His throne, lies a gate that appears to be sealed.

Almost simultaneously, the gazes of Klein and his companions seemed to pierce through the bronze door, revealing the deep darkness within.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the thumping of a heartbeat.

It originates from their own heartbeats.

They are currently in a spirit state, so they don't have a heart at all!

A moment later, the patina on the surface of the " Unshadowed Crucifix " in Klein's hand peeled off on its own, revealing a solid body composed of pure light that radiated the Sun- like glow.

A strange chill crept into Klein, Audrey, and Leonard's bodies, as if each "cell" had gained its own consciousness and wanted to form another "me."

In their illusory vision, in the deep darkness behind the bronze gate, an eye opened, its pupils deep black, covered with eerie blue cracks.

Without any particular order, one after another, the same eyes opened, densely packed, staring indifferently.

At that moment, Klein and the others seemed to hear a silent, incredibly captivating call.

Without hesitation, Klein's spirit expanded, enveloping Leonard and Audrey, and ended the summoning, returning to the Gray Fog.
