Chapter 689: Not Allowed
The great battle had subsided, yet Divine Power Tianyang still had some concerns about Leng Kai's body transformation.
Although Leng Kai wasn't a match for him, it was obvious that the Knights couldn't confront him head-on.
The Knights were very resilient. Yaha had healed them, but because Leng Kai bore his essence, their recovery was slow, and they were left with permanent scars.
Quigui Ge had lost his head, and with it, his personality—only loyalty remained. Now, he could only act on his instinctive loyalty to Divine Power Tianyang.
Zhao Ling had become a plant yet to bloom, and it would take a long time before he could return to his previous state.
Baphomet temporarily lost its powers and turned back into a harmless little lamb, only able to bleat and communicate through thought, just like after their first encounter.
Only Yaha and Cha Na retained their original powers, but Divine Power Tianyang absolutely did not want Yaha to face an enemy like Leng Kai.
Before dying, Leng Kai had said something that greatly unsettled him.
The work need not be completed by me...
This implied that there were more individuals like him.
In fact, Wang Ye, who had been imprisoned by Divine Power Tianyang in the desert, suffering the torment of vicious dogs tearing at his insides, was also gone.
Divine Power Tianyang tried to use a scent chain to track, but discovered that Wang Ye's scent disappeared 20 kilometers away from the prison, replaced by his own.
His Black Medicine shaped them, and they carried his essence, so their scent, abilities, and traits bore a striking resemblance to his—albeit weaker.
Divine Power Tianyang needed to know the exact number of these monsters because even if they were no match for him, they could pose a significant threat to the Divine Descendants and Descendant Army.
In just a few minutes, Leng Kai had slaughtered millions of Divine Descendants.
If these creatures launched a full-scale attack, it would result in even more significant losses, losses he was unwilling to endure.
The internal changes in Cha Na also puzzled Divine Power Tianyang, but even after 500 years of ruling life, facing Divine Power Tianyang again, he still showed utmost respect.
"You mean...you spent 500 years in a fictional world?" Divine Power Tianyang asked.
They were now sitting in the repaired hotel room, maintaining their human forms, with sunlight perfectly hitting the floor, and steam rising from the coffee on the table.
"It was an unbelievably real world. But I know its essence came from a deep dream. They have the ability to control this dream; it's like a cage," Cha Na answered.
"What is the purpose of this dream? They must have a reason for doing this... The resources they can wield are limited, so if they go to such lengths to create a dream, it must be of use," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"I spent 500 years there, each day fulfilling, without illusions. I also tried to find flaws in the dream, but all attempts failed," Cha Na said.
"You conquered that world, which was within my expectations. But the army you brought out doesn't seem particularly special," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"That's what confuses me. I initially thought they intended to create a world within the dream and then mass-produce superpowered soldiers... But obviously, my army had superpowers in that world, yet when we came to reality, they became ordinary..." Cha Na was also confused.
Divine Power Tianyang shook his head and said, "Maybe they didn't know this outcome either; you helped them complete the experiment."
"So, you think this dream world is not worth our precaution?" Cha Na asked.
"No. Any technology has iterations, like the Black Medicine, so does this dream. Even if they haven't succeeded, I don't want to leave any trace of them alive, not to mention, the White King is still symbiotic with that woman..." Divine Power Tianyang said.
Old humanity has not completely perished. The seeds of sin are still germinating.
He needs to make sure they all die; only by completely exterminating all old humanity can human childhood end.
He wants to save this world, leaving no room for leeway or remnants.
"That world is only one of them; when the world crumbled, my trusted aides and I fell into a space resembling the universe, where there was a road made of a rainbow, leading to reality," Cha Na said.
"You never called out to me," Divine Power Tianyang said.
"I did call out, but that world blocked my connection with you," Cha Na said.
Divine Power Tianyang took a sip of coffee and lowered his head in thought for a moment. His consciousness drifted to his true form, where the burning black giant opened its eyes.
Elements and scents of the Dream World still lingered on Cha Na.
More importantly, he had spent 500 years there, and brought out some essence of the dream world. That essence was a faint radiation and melody.
Hard to detect, but real.
Divine Power Tianyang had once entered the Illusion Dream Core and had glimpsed the black space mentioned by Cha Na; it was like the deep consciousness of the White King.
Superpowers, which sound mysterious, are actually no different from psychology; powerful personal will and aura can alter the mindset of a group and shape ideology, exhibited by some skilled orators in old humanity—superpowers were just a stronger form of this manifestation.
When personal will exceeds the world's will, the world changes accordingly. Hence, superhumans can control earth and rain, make their bodies as hard as rock.
The White King's superpower might not be controlling time.
Divine Power Tianyang speculated so.
Perhaps, the White King's superpower was a higher existence, with the ability to trace back and reorganize the universe's fundamental particles?
After all, time does not exist; there isn't a particle called time. It's merely the perception of living beings summarizing the experience of continuous passage.
This ability... must be seized...
Divine Power Tianyang began searching above Earth for wavelengths matching the melody and radiation on Cha Na; he needed to find a way to insert himself as a note into these pieces of melody.
He wanted to invade the dream constructed by Lin Yan without her knowing.
Is it possible... that Leng Kai wasn't from this reality? Maybe Leng Kai was reborn in these dreams.
He couldn't allow such formidable power to be grasped by an old human.
Seeing Divine Power Tianyang immersed in thought, Cha Na said, "If there's nothing else, I want to see the destroyed places."
He raised his head and said, "I will find a way to enter those dreams, and as for you, I have a new mission for you to fulfill."
Cha Na nodded.
"Wang Ye has been rescued, and they cannot be tracked by scent. Previously, you attacked their base; I suspect some of them have slipped through..." Divine Power Tianyang said.
Cha Na stood up and said, "I'll handle it immediately."
