Chapter 670 - 375: Conflict and Anchor Point (Double-Length)
[At this moment, you finally understand.]
[Mena did not betray you, instead, he followed your wishes, gathering the nightmares to prevent them from tainting the dream realm.]
[And he seized the Authority of Nightmare to keep the nightmares from appearing in your dream realm...]
[Understanding all this now brings a wave of guilt over you.]
[You wish to apologize to Mena, but as you muster the courage to penetrate the nightmare, when you see Mena again, he strikes at you without hesitation.]
[Mena is no longer the Mena you knew; he has completely become the embodiment of the Authority of Nightmare, bewildered, grotesque, and mad...]
[You return to your own dream realm, silent and pensive.]
[At this moment, you finally understand those words spoken by Hecilibia back then... "Wisdom is not as beautiful as you imagine; it also brings pain"...]
"Because of the fall of wisdom’s embodiment, life gained wisdom, thus experiencing pain and fear, which led to the birthing of nightmares in the dream realm..."
Rogel frowned slightly, deep in thought.
Mena absorbed the nightmares, ultimately integrating the power of nightmares to become a new authority, which seems like a single event, but in fact, is closely related to what happened before.
If the Authority of the Daylight - Oromtar had not killed the Knowledge Authority Hecilibia, causing its fall, then the dust of wisdom would never have scattered across the world’s life, and there would not have been any subsequent events.
So this is the reason for the birth of intelligent life...
Seeing the desolate expression on Mephisto, Rogel shook his head, sighing lightly.
With the scattering of the dust of wisdom, life endowed with wisdom would naturally give birth to all kinds of dreams.
This seems coincidental, but it is very likely a predetermined event.
Thinking of this, Rogel exhaled, looking at Mephisto’s dream, murmuring to himself: "Is it evolution..."
He seemed to have a slight grasp of Hecilibia’s words.
But these are just some of his speculations.
The focus went back to Mephisto’s side.
It was not only his dream world.
On the Ancient Continent World, even more upheavals took place.
[Mena’s departure left you exhausted, feeling that you should completely relay this matter to your friends.]
[Perhaps, this would prevent them from encountering a tragedy like yours...]
[You released a large amount of dream without thought, leaving the dream realm...]
[Not much time passed.]
[But because of the scattering of the dust of wisdom, the outside world has undergone earth-shattering changes.]
[You saw those creatures that initially relied solely on instinct, living in the mountains and forests, begin to harness the power of fire, and started creating simple tools for more efficient hunting...]
[Not just the land-bound races, even those residing in mountains and caves, streams and oceans, they all shed their primal instincts and began to possess the budding of wisdom...]
[Some races even started to communicate using structured calls...]
[And when you saved a dying ape, the means you exhibited directly drove the surrounding apes to kneel, chanting "God"...]
[You cared not for this, and left after rescuing it.]
[But just as you intended to search for Sena and the others, you suddenly sensed a disturbance from the authority.]
[Upon receiving the message within the authority, your brows furrowed.]
[Your Authority of Dreams tells you that, just as you needed to expand the dream realm previously, you now need to establish an "anchor point" within the dream world.]
[This "anchor point" is to stabilize the embodiment of your authority.]
[In other words, if the "anchor point" is not established, then your authority’s embodiment will become unstable.]
[You remained silent for a moment before deciding to comply.]
[Perhaps because of the Authority of Dreams splitting into the Authority of Nightmare, your authority power has become unstable.]
[Having made the decision, you continued searching for Sena and the others.]
[The "anchor point" is not something that can be completed instantly, and you can ask them if they have any thoughts about it.]
[Due to Ogo’s numerous rages, the ravines among the mountains have become more numerous, and you quickly found a stream.]
[You entered the stream, releasing your power and aura.]
[Soon, along with a familiar voice, you saw Sena once again.]
[At this moment, Sena seems somewhat weary, as if just having undergone a battle.]
[You inquire about the reason.]
[Sena does not hide anything from you and, with a heavy tone, informs you that the Authority of the Daylight - Oromtar had just visited him, then explained the whole story.]
[It turns out, shortly after you all parted, the Authority of the Daylight - Oromtar came to find Sena.]
[He wished to invite Sena to join his camp, to jointly oppose the Night Authority Asipelos, and warned Sena that if he did not join, then next time they met they’d be enemies.]
[Hearing this, you were startled, quickly inquiring about Sena’s decision.]
[Sena silently shook his head, informing you that he did not accept Oromtar’s invitation.]
[There seemed to be a deeper layer of worry in his eyes, but he did not continue discussing it with you.]
[You informed Sena about the separation of the Authority of Nightmare, and also told him about the "anchor point".]
[Sena was not surprised by the "anchor point" matter, instead, he informed that they too had received the corresponding guidance from the authority, which was also why the Authority of the Daylight - Oromtar did not initiate further conflict with Sena upon his refusal.]
