Squeak, squeak, squeak …
After passing through the 300-kilometer buffer zone to the west of Celebes Island, a certain medium-sized island in the unknown area of the Scattered Stars Islands was filled with the noises of bugs everywhere.
There were giant centipedes that were as big as bridges, spiders that were as big as houses, ants, locusts, mantises, rats, wasps, beetles … Most of them were strange creatures that were formed by combining the body parts of unknown monsters and insects. They were strange creatures that he could not name at all.
However, they weren't the only monsters that appeared on this island.
There were hyenas (ghouls) that were under the command of the God of Ghastly Bones, four-eyed monsters (blasphemers) that were under the command of the God of Labyrinth and the Angel of Justice, and bugmen (corrupted followers) that were under the command of the Chaos Worm, Hugh Myr.
There was also an octopus head that was under the command of Hypnos, the Source of Nightmares.
This perilous area seemed to have become the base of the ancient gods' believers!
The ancient gods seemed to have gathered even more forces.
The new member was exactly the terrifying existence that kept traveling between dreams and the Spiriter Realm, Hypnos, the Source of Nightmares and the Dream Eater. He looked like a grayish-white giant octopus with a thousand tentacles and a thousand eyes.
Some wizards had speculated that this great existence might be the remnants of the power of an ancient god from the primeval times. He had a life essence that was almost beyond that of a demigod and had become an important part of the Spiriter Realm and the Dream World.
He didn't have a clear and independent mind, and he wouldn't actively hunt human beings. Instead, he operated according to established rules like a natural phenomenon.
However, he would instinctively spread specific mysterious knowledge and spiritual level … pollution to his worshippers. Those guys, who were either lucky or unlucky, were the Creepy Dream Believers who tried to capture Elvin in the Spiriter Realm.
Most of the time, they were just normal human beings who behaved weirdly in the material world. However, when they reached Transcendent Rank-2, the essence of their souls would gradually turn into a real octopus head.
This unique form gave the Creepy Dream Believers the ability to move freely in the Spiriter Realm, but half of their life essence would be assimilated into the creatures of the Spiriter Realm.
Although they could still travel freely between the material world and the spirit world for the time being, in six to eight years, their human bodies would mutate and decay, completely releasing their souls that had completely turned into monsters. They would then enter the spirit world to serve the great Source of Nightmares.
If they wanted to return to the material world, they would have to borrow Hypnos' divine power to swim back to the surface of consciousness through the sea of collective unconsciousness and invade the body of a living person.
Looking at the magnificent brilliance on the octopus heads that had slightly mutated in appearance, it was not hard to tell that they were obviously visitors from the Spiriters' Realm who had returned to the material world. Also, they were probably a bunch of level-three creatures from the Spiriters' Realm!
The group of bugs was still busy.
These dependents of different ancient gods had already gathered together.
A particular Blasphemer in a grayish-white leather robe took a deep breath and closed his eyes in intoxication.
"Ha. The atmosphere on the Scattered Stars Islands is the most comfortable. It's like returning to the Fog Sea. Even though I can move freely now, I feel like I'm in a small box in the rest of the world. I feel stifled everywhere. "
The pale ghoul next to him chuckled and took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha. But this is only a remote corner of the vast world after all. There aren't many people here. Do you want to stay in such a place forever?
Although this world is rich, it's too unfair for us dependents of the ancient gods!
Even though the Main God we serve has successfully obtained the priesthood of this era, he still hasn't been truly accepted by the world's will.
No matter how many things we do to conform to the trend, we won't be favored by the world at all. Even though we have a long lifespan because of the Main God's power, our growth is much slower than that of normal human beings! "
Although none of them were good people, they were all believers of the ancient gods and had the same experience. They were natural allies in this world, but they could only form a group for warmth.
An octopus head that mainly lived in the spirit world, however, did not have the same problems as them. He said contentedly, "We're not bad.
"We're already not bad. Think about those in the depths of the Scattered Stars Islands …"
"Cough, cough!"
As if some taboo had been touched, the dependents of the ancient gods immediately stopped talking.
After a long while, someone started a new topic.
"What do you think that True God is plotting? Why are our Main Gods willing to cooperate with a True God born in this era? What benefits can we gain from a world that is hostile to us everywhere? "
As an intelligent creature, even if they had already joined the ranks of the ancient gods and their minds and cognition had been completely distorted, they still had their own curiosity.
At this moment.
Only Yalen's head still retained the appearance of a human, but his body was completely covered under a bony carapace as if he was wearing an exquisite Knight's armor. He interrupted the topic.
"I don't know what the gods who are as wise as the mountains and the seas are thinking. I only know that if we don't act now, it will be too late.
Corrupting a large number of human spellcasters who hate the Church of the True God is a plan that the Main Gods have long decided on. If we don't act quickly while they are away from the heavily guarded Wizard Tower, everyone should know the consequences very well! "
Hearing this, the dependents of the ancient gods instantly felt a chill in their hearts and turned to look.
While they were talking, a large group of Bugmen and Spider Spirits had already commanded the giant bugs to fill up a large pit that was more than five hundred square meters deep with a sea of corpses of demonized creatures.
Some of the corpses were very fresh, while others had already rotted and emitted an unbearable stench.
However, such things were the favorite of certain terrifying existences who ruled the periphery of the Shattered Star Sea!
The others dared not speak any more nonsense.
"Master of dreams, source of nightmares … The spiritual world is under your control … Please enter my heart and life, and be the savior of my soul …"
The divine ritual was quietly activated, but the leader was obviously the Creepy Dream Cultists who had just joined.
Blasphemous chanting gradually resounded throughout the entire island, and an unknown black-red spiritual light connected the earth and the sky, as if it had also broken some kind of barrier between the physical and spiritual world.
Unknowingly, some kind of nauseating flute music began to resonate with the chanting.
The sun was clearly still hanging on the horizon, but the shadow of a layer of the dark side of the world had already begun to spread over their heads like pitch-black sludge.
At the same time.
A large group of ships that had set off from Celebes Island had already passed through a stretch of dead silence, as if a vast buffer zone where all living beings had vanished.
In fact, since the first batch of witches had arrived at Celebes five hundred years ago, the Crown Sorcerers had already started an exploration project for the Shattered Star Islands.
Some had even made bold promises to completely conquer this undiscovered archipelago and build it into a country that belonged only to the Sorcerers, and even one day, to counterattack the Old Continent.
However, when the Crown Sorcerers had perished in the Shattered Star Sea, this enthusiasm for exploration was immediately extinguished by more than half.
The Grade Four Crown Sorcerers themselves represented a certain limit of the human's ability to understand the world, the culmination of a certain path, an existence that surpassed the scope of all human knowledge.
They had already completed the essential transformation from human to non-human, obtained the recognition of the Origin and bestowed the Crown, and became the ultimate manifestation of a certain part of the world's laws.
In theory, they could use the long board that surpassed everyone in the world to easily create a crushing situation.
However, the world's laws in some parts of the sea were poles apart from the outside world, even the Crown that the Crown Sorcerers were bestowed by the Origin of the World would be covered in dust because of this.
Although they were still stronger than any Superior Sorcerers, they had lost their overwhelming advantage.
Therefore, although the Crown Sorcerers and a few Truth Concretes had not given up their ambitions, the main force of exploration had quietly become Grade Three Great Sorcerers.
Moreover, their goal was to expand their living space and obtain a stable supply of supernatural resources. If they could not be modified to allow normal people to survive and produce, then it would be meaningless.
After some screening by the Crown Sorcerers, the strength of the Great Sorcerers at the periphery of the archipelago was enough to deal with it.
Therefore, in this large-scale exploration operation, the various forces were basically led by Grade Three Transcendents.
This included the Black Obelisk, the School of Necromancy, the School of Elemental Breathing, the School of Truth, the School of Alchemy, and the Undying Scepter that Elvin had seen previously …
The New Continent's School of Curses, School of Shadows, School of Voodoo, the shaman group that included the Mother of Sea Mero, the Rain God Chuck, the Moth Lady Mersidy, and many other totem gods … All of them were on the move.
After crossing the buffer zone, each of them chose a direction and carefully boarded an island that had been scouted in advance.
"Teacher, the Sorcerer from the School of Activation said that the main force of the exploration team will meet up with us after splitting up. Should we wait here first?"
The snake-eyed witch who was swaying with every step stopped and slowly nodded.
"Alright, after all, one more Great Sorcerer is also one more force. I also want to go personally … That is?"
Deeper in the Shattered Stars Islands, an ominous shadow had already rushed over.
.....
Pop!
After jumping out of the Shadow World, Elvin was a little at a loss as he looked at the gray forest in front of him.
"So what's the situation?"
Suddenly.
In the distance in front of him, a gorgeous red figure flashed past.
"Huh?"
