"Witch, can you hear me?"
"I hear you, you can actually communicate within the Ghost inheritance!"
Sonia and Diya were transported to the underground hall of level 95 and level 96 respectively. They were supposed to face trials, but upon arrival, they saw a pedestal rising in the underground hall with two stone spheres on its armrests.
When they sat on the pedestal, their souls received a series of messages—
"The Ghost inheritance is currently under invasion by external enemies."
"Expel them all without exception; consider it passing this level."
"You have now become the Guardians of the Ghost inheritance, temporarily granted the authority to control 'Dreams'; you can control 10 'Dreams' for movement and attack."
When they held the stone spheres in their hands, the entire underground hall suddenly became transparent. Raising their heads, they could see the dim land of Dream Heaven filled with thousands of Holy Domains and countless flying and colliding black spheres!
And they were like pilots sitting in the cockpit of these black spheres!
Furthermore, they could sense other black spheres through their fingertips. With a single thought, other black spheres would change direction accordingly.
Seeing this situation, no more words were needed—the Holy Domain mages were attacking the black spheres to seize the inheritance, and Sonia and Diya's task was naturally to control the black spheres to knock all the Holy Domain mages away!
The Ghost Prophet placed the control authority from level 95 onward clearly after careful consideration—any Holy Domain mage who attempts to seize the inheritance by force from Dream Heaven must feel hopeless in passing the trial, only then willing to risk everything in chaos.
But if a mage has reached level 95 and beyond, they would surely feel their chances of seizing the inheritance are highly likely. In their eyes, everything regarding the Ghost inheritance is already within their grasp, naturally unwilling to let outsiders destroy the Ghost inheritance!
This is a blatantly obvious plot; the interests of invaders and trialists are completely opposed. To safeguard their future interests, trial mages will definitely work hard to expel invading mages!
However, this mechanism has a huge loophole: What if Dream Heaven is invaded, but no mage has reached level 95 yet?
The Ghost Prophet clearly knows about this loophole but has no way to resolve it.
If the threshold is lowered, allowing trial mages from levels 90, 85, or even 80 to become Guardians, it would indeed ensure sufficient manpower. However, the probability of internal betrayal would increase dramatically — if the Guardians conspire with the invaders, it would mean simply handing over the black spheres of Dreams!
Only mages from level 95 and beyond can ensure they would definitely guard the Ghost inheritance!
Moreover, the Ghost Prophet has precisely calculated this; he knows the degree of Divine Lord's intervention in the Distant Realm and naturally can calculate how long Dream Heaven would be broken. In his calculations, when Divine Lord's mages invade Dream Heaven, there should already be someone who reaches level 95.
But there's one factor the Ghost Prophet couldn't account for—the decline of the Soul Faction!
In his time, elves were the darlings of heaven and earth, and the Soul Faction was the elves' ace magic. The Ghost Prophet's calculations were based on the premise that there would be future genius Soul Sanctuaries. However, after his death, the six nations gradually emerged, and the Elf Clan, swept into the historical tide, continuously split and transformed, with Blood Moon elves and Gospel elves almost considered two different species.
More importantly, the Soul Faction, similar to the Weak Faction, is too arduous for mages. If the Weak Faction aids survival, the Soul Faction is simply suffering in pursuit of power.
Why bother learning such torturous magic when there are other magic factions? It's worth mentioning that one reason the Clan Leader of Vatican Mura's Six Emblems faintly respects Qinna is because she's a Soul Sanctuary—someone who treats themselves so harshly naturally earns others' awe.
Once societal competition intensity decreases and people start to seek stability and enjoyment, the fall of the Soul Faction and the rise of the Spirit Faction becomes an inevitable historical trend.
The Ghost Prophet could calculate human nature but couldn't see through historical trends.
And don't forget that the Thousand Wishes inheritance of Ruby Mountain is far more important than the Ghost inheritance; the Divine Lord's main battlefield is actually Ruby Mountain, thus dedicating only a little attention to the Distant Realm.
The Ghost Prophet originally estimated Dream Heaven would be broken in half a month, but now, almost a month has passed without a single trialist reaching level 90!
This huge loophole should have been the key to the destruction of the Ghost inheritance, yet the Nightmare hiding in the shadows actively helped the Ghost Prophet cover this mess.
Boom!
Sonia and Diya tested, and twenty black spheres of Dreams suddenly changed direction, charging into the densely packed cluster of Holy Domains in the distance. While they could also control their black spheres to fly over, unless they enjoyed watching the embarrassing state of the Holy Sanctuary Mage being impacted up close, there was no need to take such personal risks.
The test was highly effective; faced with the rampant black spheres of Dreams, the rampaging Holy Sanctuary Mages could only scatter to avoid them, or they would definitely be knocked hundreds of meters away.
The Sword Witch observed for a while and soon saw their primary targets for expulsion—the groups of Blood Moon, Curse Elf, and Parasitic Mage who were relentlessly attacking a black sphere!
Compared to the scattered and motley crew, these three groups, although small in number, were professionally coordinated teams capable of mutual cooperation and even force unification.
No one understands better than the Sword Witch how powerful a team of mages can be—they themselves are beneficiaries of the team's strength.
Moreover, the Nightmare had also told them in advance that three mage teams held Wonders, thereby being able to break Dream Heaven. Clearly, these three groups are the raiders sent by the Divine Lord to sabotage the Ghost inheritance.
