However, the Nightmare not only very thoroughly introduced the Soul Divine Status Flow unrelated to the Virtual Divine Status Flow, but also mentioned its own death without any concealment or evasion. Faced with Ash's group's requests, it firmly refused without leaving any room, giving no face at all.

This is completely not the social level expected of a Demigod Mage. Coupled with its claim of being a devil derived from the Mage's Handbook, everyone vaguely understands that it probably lacks normal thinking abilities, more akin to an intelligent program executing orders, a one is one, two is two existence, not understanding concealment or tact.

Weiser's eyes glimmered with strange light, and asked, "If all Divine Beings are born from concepts, then how did the first Divine Being emerge?"

Nightmare: "Concept aggregation phenomenon. Generally, it is believed that with the continuous advancement of magic, concepts will autonomously aggregate various materials and transform into Divine Beings, but this process often requires thousands of years. If a Mage fully understands the materials required for a concept's aggregation and knows its transformation rituals, they can use the Soul Divine Status Flow to accelerate conceiving a Divine Being."

Sonia also came to the realization and asked, "Divine Beings are unique; if a Divine Being corresponding to a concept already exists, does it mean it cannot be created again?"

Nightmare: "Yes, if the Divine Being already exists, no matter how many attempts you make, you cannot create the same Divine Being. However, the same concept can point to multiple different Divine Beings, and it's also possible to create unprecedented new Divine Beings. Nightmare is just such an unprecedented Divine Being, so do not worry about this."

Ash asked, "What is higher up the Ruby Mountain? How do we proceed on the Path of Origin?"

Nightmare: "I cannot tell you; otherwise, you will be infected with Secret Poison. If you want to proceed on the Path of Origin, you need to find an Angel on Ruby Mountain."

Diya looked at them one by one asking questions, stunned for a moment before realizing what they were doing—they were bullying Nightmare as just a rigid machine, trying to extract the Demigod Mage's intelligence from its mouth!

To the Holy Domain Mages present, the information known by Nightmare itself might be even more valuable than the Technique Spirit in that wall! These are revelations of Divine Beings sought even by Legendary Mages; not asking more would be a waste!

"Faded Dream!" Diya suddenly remembered: "Faded Dream requires four types of materials: Dream Entry Technique Spirit and Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon. Is there still a Dream Entry Technique Spirit here?"

Nightmare shook its head: "Dream Entry Technique Spirit was a natural Technique Spirit generated when Dream Entry Concept tightly integrated with Dream Heaven before it shattered. After the shattering of Dream Heaven, all Dream Entry Technique Spirits vanished without a trace."

Everyone sighed; the absence of Dream Entry Technique Spirits means they cannot proceed on the Path of Origin to reach Ruby Mountain and have to honestly hone their Magic Faction...

"Wait." Ash suddenly realized something: "If we create a Divine Being, wouldn't its Gate of Truth also open for us? Could we skip Ruby Mountain and directly reach the fifth layer of the Void Realm?"

But Nightmare shook its head: "That will not happen."

"Why?"

"To reach the fifth layer, one must find the Angel of Ruby Mountain. If you don't find it, even if you create a Divine Being, you can only reach Ruby Mountain."

Ash's group exchanged glances—they rely on advancing through the Magic Realm for upgrades, which turns out to be effective only below Legendary. To break the boundary from Legendary to Demigod, one must proceed on the Path of Origin and find an Angel!

Dong.

Suddenly, the golden hall quivered slightly.

"Another seal has been broken." Nightmare said, "The reason Holy Domain Mages cannot use Technique Spirit and Magic Power in the inheritance is due to the Ghost Seal leveraging the power of Dream Heaven. Once too many seals are broken, Holy Domain Mages can restore all combat power and tear open the ghost inheritance from within."

"The ghost inheritance can't hold for long; you must act immediately."

As Nightmare spoke, it pointed a finger, and a black shackle connected Ash's group, tightly locking around their necks!

"This is the Wonder 'Shared Bed, Different Dreams.'" Nightmare said, "You are now in the 'Shared Bed' state; I will leave one person as a hostage. As long as I initiate 'Different Dreams' on the hostage, you'll fall into the nightmare curse even if you escape to reality, until all souls are exhausted by the nightmare before it ends."

Ash and the others' faces turned extremely grim, but they weren't too surprised—as soon as they were transported here, they mentally prepared to face dire straits.

How could the inheritance left by the Nightmare Angel, an Evil Mage, not involve life-threatening risks?

"The remaining three must gather the material shortfall for the Divine Status Technique." Nightmare shifted a finger, a list appeared before the four: "A total of 26 Technique Spirits and two materials."

Sonia nervously said, "Wind's Scar and Moon Crystal? But those two materials have already disappeared."

"Void Realm materials don't vanish; they merely take on another form," Nightmare said. "These two materials are both Space Spirit materials, likely elevated to Technique Spirits due to the development of the Space Faction and Spirit Faction."

Weiser seized the opportunity and asked, "What were the functions of Wind's Scar, Flower Speech, Snow's Splendor, and Moon Crystal? Were they solely for feeding Dream Entry Technique Spirit?"

"No, these four materials are mostly for mage's personal use," Nightmare said. "By engaging these materials, mages feel the four processes of space: formation, completion, collapse, and void, thereby mastering the space faction and forming Holy Domain. But because of their low output, not all Three-winged Mages can enter the space faction."

Ash's group was enlightened.

It seems that as long as the space faction develops to a certain extent, these four materials gradually integrate into the Distant Realm, ultimately forming Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon Harmony Prohibition.

In this sense, modern times do indeed progress much compared to the past. The old Holy Domain was the luxury of Three-winged Mages; now, it is standard equipment—without Holy Domain, one would be crushed by the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon Harmony Prohibition.

"Although the materials can no longer be found, Technique Spirit substitutes can be used."

Nightmare swiped a finger, erasing 'Wind's Scar' and 'Moon Crystal' from the list, replaced by 'Four-winged Wind Formation Technique Spirit' and 'Four-winged Moon Sky Technique Spirit.'

But Ash's group's expressions didn't improve one bit.

They looked at the long list of Four-winged Technique Spirits and asked with confusion: "This is the Distant Realm that only has Three-winged Mages—where could we possibly find so many Four-winged Technique Spirits?"

"Precisely because this is the Distant Realm, that's why you might be able to find these Technique Spirits," Nightmare said. "The main body masters a Wonder capable of creating the needed Technique Spirits at will, no matter the type or number of wings."

Ash's group was stunned—seriously, whatever they wish for, they'll get?

Nightmare: "Its name is, Dreams Come True."
