All the Spirit Walker along the way looked at Qin Ze, this alien, with curiosity.
They were puzzled as to why the alien race had entered their Illusion Race's Spirit Energy Tower.
But seeing that the director was with Qin Ze, he didn't worry too much.
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "Do you regret it?"
The director was taken aback. "Regret what?"
Qin Ze said, "I regret hunting down the Dominator."
Upon hearing this, the director suddenly burst into laughter. " The Illusion Race has never regretted their actions; on the contrary, they are proud of what they have done."
"Looking across Myriad Races, our Illusion Race is probably the first, and possibly the only, civilization to hunt down Dominator. This is an unparalleled honor."
Qin Ze said, "But even if you really kill the Dominator, your civilization will perish."
The director's tone suddenly became more serious than ever before. "This is not only the end of our Illusion Race civilization, but also the end of Myriad Races."
"Compared to Myriad Races, we have only reached the end ahead of time."
"Our regret has never been about failing to hunt down the Dominator, but rather about the Dream God's secrecy towards us."
"Even if the Dream God provides prior information about the Dominator, we will continue the hunt."
"It's just a different approach, like letting some young people leave earlier to leave seeds for civilization."
If you knew beforehand that resistance would lead to destruction, would you still choose to resist?
The answer from the Illusion Race is yes.
As the director just said, the recovery of the Dominator is the ultimate result of natural evolution.
Rather than waiting to die in despair and helplessness, it's better to take a gamble now.
Even if they fall to the ground, they die as heroes.
Qin Ze was filled with endless emotions.
The director lowered his eyes, looking puzzled. "But why would the Dream God deceive us?"
Qin Ze said calmly, "We'll know the answer soon enough."
The so-called Sealed Land was just a small teleportation array, and there wasn't even a single person guarding it.
The director explained, "The teleportation array will take us to the bottom of the tower, where the Dream God resides."
Qin Ze nodded and stood side by side with the director in the formation.
As the formation was activated, Qin Ze could feel his body rapidly descending.
Miss Sword Case exclaimed in surprise, "There's an aura of a god!"
Qin Ze now understands why Miss Sword Case couldn't see the Spirit Energy Tower.
The tower is protected by the divine power of the Dream God.
Only divine power can rival divine power.
Miss Sword Case can only sense their existence, but cannot see them in person.
We've arrived.
The director's voice interrupted Qin Ze's thoughts.
At the base of the tower is a vast, enclosed space, with a cluster of colorful, dazzling lights at its center.
The ball of light kept changing shape and color.
Bathed in that light, Qin Ze felt as if he were being caressed by a gentle breeze, and a series of beautiful memories began to flood his mind.
"This is the Dream God?"
Qin Ze noticed that the director next to him was also staring wide-eyed in surprise; it seemed that this was also the first time he had ever seen the Dream God.
You're here!
The ball of light emitted a voice familiar to Qin Ze.
Judging from his tone, he was in a very good mood and did not harbor any resentment because of being imprisoned by mortals.
The director mustered his courage, stepped forward, and asked, "Why did you deceive us?"
The Dream God said softly, "I'm sorry."
Qin Ze's eyes widened.
What's going on?!
God is apologizing?
Shouldn't the Dream God have slapped the Director, the mortal who imprisoned Him, to death?
"If I tell you the truth, I fear you will give up hunting the Dominator, especially after I discover you are training Spirit Walker independently, deviating from my plans."
Upon hearing this reason, the director couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
They thought their actions were discreet, but little did they know that God had seen everything; He simply chose not to expose them.
"How is that possible?"
"To give up resistance when faced with strength is the act of a coward."
Hearing the answer from the Dream God, the director felt a sense of relief.
If the Illusion Race hadn't been so "independent" and had instead openly discussed things with the Dream God, would the current situation have arisen?
The mutual distrust between the gods and believers pushed everything into an irreversible Abyss.
Qin Ze asked curiously, "You actually noticed their underhanded tactics, why didn't you intervene?"
The Dream God calmly replied, "How a civilization develops is its own business."
"I have already intervened and guided them to hunt down the Dominator; we cannot violate the principles any further."
Qin Ze found it amusing; he hadn't expected the Dream God to be such a principled guy.
Or perhaps, He was too kind.
Immediately, the Dream God looked at Qin Ze and said, "I never expected our reunion to be like this, Desolate God."
Qin Ze frowned. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the Desolate God."
"I obtained the Desolate God Bloodline by chance."
"Besides, what I possess now is no longer the Desolate God Bloodline."
The Dream God was silent for a moment, then said, "Is that so?"
Qin Ze could sense that the Dream God's gaze was fixed on Miss Sword Case.
He quietly asked Miss Sword Case, "Do you know Him?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "I don't remember."
Not long after, the Dream God withdrew his gaze and let out a muffled murmur.
"Perhaps."
Qin Ze voiced his confusion. "Why did you send the Illusion Race to hunt down the Dominator?"
The Dream God said softly, "I need the power of the Dominator to preserve something. The soul power of an ordinary being cannot sustain it; only the Dominator's Relic can do it."
"When you first came into this world, I thought you were just Apostle, but I never imagined you were also a god."
The director, standing to the side, retreated in fear, realizing that he had been walking shoulder to shoulder with God all along the way.
No wonder Qin Ze was so confident that he could persuade the Dream God.
The Dream God continued, "I originally intended to guide you to kill the Dominator so that I could obtain the Relic, but now it seems that's not necessary."
Qin Ze asked, "You weren't born into this world from the beginning, so where did you come from?"
The Dream God replied, "I escaped from the Tomb of the Gods."
"Although the Tomb of the Gods is a good hiding place, my power is nearing its limit. If I don't come out to replenish my strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain this."
"I stumbled upon this spiritual world, and so I stayed."
The Local Area Network erupted in jubilation.
"There's New Land, guys!"
"When will the major update be released? Let's go check out the Tomb of the Gods!"
"Digging up a god's grave, how exciting!"
"The diamond shovel can finally come in handy again!"
"..."
The Dream God seemed to see through Qin Ze's intention and reminded him, " The Tomb of the Gods is the burial place of the gods, a place filled with chaotic rules and remnants of divine power."
"You'll die if you go in now."
Qin Ze chuckled, "I just wanted to pay my respects to the old master, but it seems I'll have to wait for another opportunity."
The Dream God did not expose his ugly face, but suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Now that I've met you, I've finally completed the mission entrusted to me by the Desolate God!"
Qin Ze frowned.
It's Desolate God again.
Was this also arranged by Old Huang?
But the Dream God is a god; both He and I came here by chance.
Old Huang can even Deduction such a divinely inspired coincidence in advance?
A layer of cold sweat seeped out from Qin Ze's back.
"This is what I've kept all these years."
"It's up to you now."
The ball of light opened, revealing a bloodied, constantly beating heart.
