A white silhouette penetrated the wall of the inn room like a ghost.
Before Lin Huang could see what it was, the three God Figurine's Combat Souls had surrounded it.
"Little friend, I mean no harm."
A white-haired, white-bearded old man dressed in a long white robe stood by the wall and immediately expressed his stance.
"Are you Gong Sun?"
The stone tablet in his body spoke through voice transmission just when Lin Huang saw the person's face. It told Lin Huang that the old man before him was the other True God's will — the old man Gong Sun that the Nightmare Dragon had mentioned.
"It seems like you've found out about me from the inferior dragon." The old man with a white beard nodded while smiling.
"Why did you pull me into the dreamland?" Lin Huang got the three Combat Souls to back off a little, but he did not let his guard down. He questioned.
"Because that's the only way I can communicate with you." Gong Sun forced a smile helplessly.
"My original body died after fighting the inferior dragon back then. However, the inferior dragon didn't die right away. Instead, he built this world with the broken fragment of his God's Kingdom. He made a series of plans so that he could be resurrected one day.
"Meanwhile, my original body was left with the last bit of will. When he was building this world, I got into the remaining fragment of his God's Kingdom when he was off guard. Something unexpected happened. I merged with the fragment of his God's Kingdom and became a part of this world. I can't be seen by others, nor can I communicate with others. "
"However, I inherited a part of the inferior dragon's ability after merging with the fragment of his God's Kingdom. Therefore, I thought of using the dreamland as a medium for communication because I can only be seen and heard in the dreamland. "
Gong Sun's explanation made Lin Huang let go of his hostility a little. However, he raised another question.
"Why did you only come to me now? The Nightmare Dragon's remaining will has been gone for three days. Why didn't you show up as soon as possible? Why did you only show up today after my partners left? "
"There are two reasons. The first reason is that even though I can't be seen, I can't communicate. But at close range, my presence can be sensed by divine sense. "
"Among your companions, there's someone who has the same Divine Will as you. In fact, his Divine Will is even more powerful than yours. I don't want to complicate matters, so I chose to wait for him to leave before meeting you. "
"As for why I didn't meet you immediately, it was because I wasn't prepared. I saw the battle between you and the inferior dragon's will, including the battle in the Dream World. I saw everything clearly through a special sensing method. “
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to win. When he pulled you into the Dream World, I thought you were dead for sure. When you succeeded in killing him, I couldn't believe it. "
"I'm in a state of complete shock and confusion."
"Completely eradicating the remnant of the inferior dragon's will is the mission given to me by my original body. It is also the meaning of my existence. You've killed the remnant will of the inferior dragon and completed my mission, but it also made me lose my target. "
"My mind was in a mess at the time, and you left soon after you were done searching the volcano, so I missed the opportunity."
"Who's the person who has the same Divine Telekinesis as me that you mentioned?" Lin Huang could not help but ask what he cared about the most after hearing that.
"It's that baby face, the one who can control bugs."
"Li Jia?! This guy is really good at hiding it … "
Lin Huang's pupils shrunk a little. He suspected that Li Jia might have known about the few tricks that he did secretly, including the two missions where he went to hunt Charm and Dynasty.
"Kid, I've been thinking about how I should thank you for the past few days, but I still haven't figured out what I should do until today." Seeing that Lin Huang was silent for a while, Gong Sun could not help but speak again, "Since we've met today, why don't you just tell me what you want?"
"I won't hold back then." Lin Huang snapped back to his senses hearing that. The frustration he had earlier was gone.
"If you have God Figurines, just give me a few of them. If you don't have any God Figurines, god items or god relics will do too. If you don't have any, I can accept demigod relics. "
"So, you only need material rewards?" Gong Sun was stunned to hear that.
"Yes, I'm a materialistic person." Lin Huang nodded in all seriousness.
"When the inferior dragon died, its remnant will was in deep sleep for a period of time. I secretly sent the human that the inferior dragon transformed into to explore for a period of time. The main purpose was to find out what's going on outside the Kingdom of God. However, some of the humans came back alive and brought back some treasures. "
"I remember there's a God Figurine." Gong Sun thought about it while frowning slightly. "There should be a few god relics too."
"That's great!" Lin Huang's eyes lit up when he heard that. He dared not ask for too much. After all, he used to be unlucky and could not even find anything good when he was playing games.
Gong Sun stretched his arm in the air. A moment later, an icy blue statue appeared in his hand. The statue looked a little like a human lady with half of her body frozen.
"This Mysterious Frostwoman's ability was quite powerful when it was alive. Even my real body had to avoid it on the battlefield." Gong Sun passed the God Figurine in his hand to Lin Huang.
"The Mysterious Frostwoman …" Lin Huang extended his arm to take it immediately. However, he immediately realized that he was in a dreamland. "Do you have the real God Figurine?"
"Don't worry. I'll give you the items that you've chosen later. Although I don't have a physical form, it doesn't affect me from taking the items, "Gong Sun explained while smiling.
"That's great." Lin Huang was relieved.
Gong Sun then took out a couple of items. They were all god relics.
There were a total of seven items, but none of them were swords or armor.
"Don't you have swords and armor? Or telekinetic weapons? "Lin Huang asked while raising his brow.
"No, these are the only ones that are in good condition." Gong Sun shook his head.
"I don't need any of these." Lin Huang forced a smile while shaking his head.
"Take them. You can exchange these for the swords and armor that you want when you get out." Gong Sun shoved all of them to Lin Huang.
"Alright then." Lin Huang took the few god relics. There was even a true god-level long sword.
"Do you still need demigod relics?" Gong Sun asked.
Lin Huang blushed and shook his head. "No, I have demigod swords."
He was a little embarrassed that Gong Sun was being so generous.
"Is there anything else you need?"
Lin Huang thought about it and decided to be thick-skinned. "Cultivation method secret scrolls would be best if they're sword skills."
"Although my real body isn't a sword cultivator, I have a good friend who's a powerful sword cultivator. His sword skills could be ranked in the top three in our era. To help him improve his sword skills, I've fought him countless times and read his sword skill scrolls. He's long since passed away. It'll be great if you can inherit his sword skills. "
"Apart from him, I've met some powerful sword cultivators too. I still remember some of their sword skills. I'll record them down for you."
Nobody knew if it was his personality or if it was because he had not talked to anyone for a long time, but Gong Sun was quite talkative.
After settling the material compensation with Lin Huang, he began chatting endlessly with Lin Huang.
Lin Huang found out many secrets about this world.
The world was built by the Nightmare Dragon with the broken pieces of its kingdom before it died.
The Nightmare Dragon used the god relics and god items that it collected to materialize the monster horde because it wanted to collect a massive amount of living beings and sacrifice them to revive itself.
Its remnant will was in deep sleep most of the time. The key to activating its remnant will was the appearance of a living being with Divine Power. No matter if it was a demigod or a Virtual God, as long as such a level of living being was born in the kingdom, it would mean that it was time for the sacrifice.
The Nightmare Dragon's remnant will would wake up and activate the formation that the Nightmare Dragon had set up when it was alive to summon the monster horde. The purpose of the monster horde was not to kill the humans on the ground but to increase the number of living beings for the soul sacrifice.
In reality, such a sacrifice had been activated a couple of times before Lin Huang and the rest discovered this foggy world. However, Gong Sun destroyed it each time.
Gong Sun guided generations of humans through dreams so that they could gather their strength to fight the monster horde when the monster horde appeared and destroy the Nightmare Dragon's soul sacrifice.
Sometimes, he would destroy the monster horde himself at the cost of his own will.
After a couple of times, he tampered with the immortal path so that he could solve the problem once and for all. He made the highest combat strength of all living beings in the kingdom stagnate at ascendance-level. Due to that, there would be no more Demigods. That way, there would be no more Demigods.
However, he could not bring himself to kill the tens of thousands of human powerhouses who were already human immortals. He made them stay, but he also destroyed the possibility of them elevating to Virtual Gods and demigods.
To be safe, he even limited the outsiders' combat strength to below human immortal-level.
However, despite all his calculations, he had missed the fact that the Seventh Prince had a demigod-level defensive measure.
When the demigod-level energy was released, he destroyed the energy with the Heavenly Thunder immediately. However, the Nightmare Dragon's remnant will was activated and woke up.
Lin Huang had been puzzled by the saying, "When the Mysterious Thunder appears, a disaster is coming. When a phenomenon appears, heaven and earth will be in chaos. "Gong Sun gave a detailed explanation of that.
The Mysterious Thunder referred to how Gong Sun killed the powerhouses who were about to elevate to Earth Immortals with thunder to avoid activating the Nightmare Dragon's will.
As for the phenomenon, it was because the Nightmare Dragon's remnant will would adjust the formation that produced the monster horde every time it woke up. This kind of adjustment would affect the fragment of the Divine Kingdom, producing a strange dreamland effect or a materialization effect.
Night had fallen when Lin Huang got out of the dreamland.
Gong Sun left while the Mysterious Frostwoman's God Figurine was placed on the desk before Lin Huang. The seven god relics and a couple of jade slips were also left behind.
Lin Huang looked at the jade slips after putting the God Figurine and the god relics away. He recalled something all of a sudden when he put the jade slips away a while later.
"I seem to have forgotten to get Gong Sun to help me get rid of the monster carcasses … Old Master Gong Sun, are you still there?"
