"...Hehe, hahahaha, so that's it. Interesting, truly interesting!"

Before Wen Sheng could react, the black cat burst into laughter, utterly amused, "Even now, are there such madmen among the people?"

They are not inferior to those from the era I once belonged to."

"You... you..."

Wen Sheng's face turned pale, trembling, his pupils dilated, struggling for breath, "What do you mean?"

"Hm? Was I unclear?"

The black cat's mouth curved into a malicious grin, savoring his pathetic appearance.

Then, it punctured the final illusion:

"From the very beginning, you were just a consumable!"

"Shut up!!!!"

Wen Sheng seemed struck by lightning, instinctively crying out, his bloodshot eyes nearly bulging from the sockets, his expression distorted, "I'm not! I, I... I'm the one who should... Only I..."

The black cat continued to smile, enjoying his reaction.

Thus witnessing the light of lamentation when the Illusion Dream shattered...

So pleasing to the eyes.

Though unaware of the underlying truth, with his level, seeing it once makes it all clear, doesn't it?

The mastermind behind all this truly possesses profound skills.

Even the elusive Illusion Dream is utilized within.

This Holy God's Dream, seemingly a transformation from death to rebirth, in reality, harbors a more malicious and cruel purpose and plan.

Wen Sheng and Wen Wen, Ascension and Ruins, spirit and matter.

Two opposing existences, within this Illusion Dream, are mutually consumable, mutually catalyzing, mutually achieving, and simultaneously mutually destroying.

In an endless cycle, regardless of who dies, the other becomes stronger!

Either Wen Sheng becomes a Holy God, progressing further, with Heavenly People in sight, the realm of the Saint and Dragon no longer distant. Or Wen Wen embraces her nature, wholly abandoning reason and emotion as shackles, and after creating miracles, sets foot on the path of Dragon transformation...

Truly a masterful scheme.

Even its own remnants are utilized within.

To this, the Lord of Huangliang is indifferent, and probably aware, not only indifferent but also delighted by the spectacle delivered to his doorstep.

Indeed, this is truly a grand show.

Sadly, who could have thought, in an unexpected turn of events, another would slip in holding authority, positioned between Ascension and Ruins as Ashes?

The disturbance of this variable, yet the rock remains immovable, the obsession shattered within the Illusion Dream.

After perceiving Wen Zheng's arrangements, understanding his role, he was utterly crushed, collapsing to the ground, despairing in rage, sobbing hoarsely.

Just...

"Despite proclaiming oneself a god, why would one kneel and pray for mercy?"

The black cat shook its head, "Such appearance clearly belongs to a follower, doesn't it?"

Worshipping idols, engrossed in fervor, yet unable to see what he chases truly, moving towards the fancied illusion, clinging only to unattainable mirages.

Precisely because of this, he fits so well within this Illusion Dream.

"Since you've lost in this present world, why not return to illusions?"

The black cat's voice echoed melancholically, "Dreams are generous, Paradise welcomes all. Even those with nothing always have a pleasant dream and rest."

At that moment, the grieving Wen Sheng was dazed in his spot.

His face marked with cracks and tears was illuminated by the visionary light from the door beyond.

Paradise!

The void world formed by endless dreams and illusions!

Now, truly, appeared before him.

From the door suddenly appearing from nowhere, the rainbow light kept changing, diffusing and rushing like spring water.

In just an instant, one could glimpse countless inversed dreams.

Before his eyes, countless phantoms surfaced, in his ears, innumerable voices echoed.

Wanting to be full, wanting new clothes, wanting a world where no one looks down on him... wanting money, wanting money, rest, end, woman, give up, eat... wanting more money! Please give me money...

Wanting a world free from hunger and pain, wanting everyone to understand each other, wanting wars to disappear... wanting to be with her forever... wanting to die...

Wanting...

The rainbow light mirrors, revealing the deepest desires and fantasies of oneself.

In that instant, Ji Jue moved slightly.

Regrettably, what moved was not his steps but the hand holding the sword, as he looked down at Wen Sheng on the ground, hesitated for an instant, but soon sensed the gaze from the black cat.

Thus, he remained motionless.

There was no longer a need to move.

Only the dazed Wen Sheng on the ground gazed at that illusion, his hollow eyes illuminated by phantoms, showing a glimmer of excitement.

Enraptured.

In pain and despair, she supported herself, crawling with hands and feet, little by little, expending all her strength, reaching out, trying to touch the visionary light beyond the door.

But ultimately, unable to cross the final line of distance.

Too far.

He was too tired.

Long had no strength left to move forward.

From the shattered wounds, silver flames erupted again, burning up the last residual spirit, swiftly turning to ashes.

When clinging to illusions, abandoning the obsession instinctively at that instant, the final thread of strength sustaining him silently dissipated. The moth perished in flames, obsession turned to ashes in the burning.

The last bones before the door silently crumbled.

Welcoming the end.

Yet even until his consciousness was completely obliterated, Wen Sheng's gaze remained fixed in the phantom beyond the door.

What did those eyes see, after all?

"Such a pity."

The black cat shook its head, "Just a bit more."

Was it really just a bit more?

Ji Jue wanted to ask, but some questions are better left unasked.

Taking advantage of everyone's distracted attention, he silently retreated a step, then another step, attempting to open distance, yet lamentably, those amber eyes had already trained on him.

With a faint smile or not."

"This battle, it seems you've won, Ji Jue."

The black cat tilted its head, enjoying his expression, "I didn't expect such a deserted place would still have an uninvited guest... should I introduce myself?"
