You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

But the premise is... this National Treasure must be linked to half of the Human Clan's fate.

This was also the reason why the Crown Prince was invincible within the Great Yong Realm.

The Demon Clan's target was the Human Clan's fate; it must have been to target the Crown Prince...or the National Treasure.

At this moment, the mist of the Illusion Realm before Lin Yue's eyes suddenly began to surge, accompanied by eerie whispers and hoarse roars, a figure gradually emerged from the mist.

It was a figure shrouded in a black robe, blurred like those seen in dreams.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have disturbed your peaceful dreams."

The figure clad in black robe chuckled, "But don't worry, this is just an illusory dream, as long as you abide by the rules, no one will get hurt."

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, at the same time, his Divine Thought formed an avatar within Tianxia Building, communicating constantly with the other powerhouses of Great Yong.

It could be confirmed that from the Saints who had topped Tianxia Building to the countless mortal commoners, everyone was seeing the figure in the black robe at this moment, and the content they heard was exactly the same, completely synchronized.

"It's like watching a live broadcast..."

Lin Yue focused on the figure in the black robe, but even with all his efforts, he was unable to discern the figure's true face or sense any trace of aura.

There was no knowing what the figure intended, everyone could only listen.

"Allow me to introduce myself."

The figure in the black robe smiled and said, "You can call me the 'Divine Dream Envoy.' At this moment, in the nineteen states of Great Yong, fifty-six billion five hundred and thirty-seven million one hundred and fifty-seven thousand two hundred and seventy-two people, including Cultivators, whether Loose Cultivators or those from Holy Lands, as well as the noble Imperial Family of the Xiahong, have entered this Dream Realm."

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

And, to top it off, the figure was deliberately announcing this to everyone?

"The Illusion Realm you are in is called the Dream of Truth, and there are three rules that everyone must follow."

The self-proclaimed Divine Dream Envoy chuckled and raised a finger, saying,

"Firstly, in this place, anyone who lies will be punished, including myself.

"The more people know the lie, the heavier the punishment will be. If only you yourself know, the punishment for the lie will merely be a little pain. Those who don't believe it can try it out now.

"But if it's a lie known by the entire world...

"Hehe, I believe no one wishes to bear such punishment."

At that moment, countless people tried to tell a lie, verifying if the so-called punishment was real or fake.

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes, and also tried to speak softly, "I am a woman."

The next instant, fog around him slowly surged, and a wisp of mist rapidly entered his body.

A pang of pain originating from his Divine Soul suddenly appeared.

Lin Yue's expression remained unchanged.

This slight pain was akin to the most superficial layer of agony he experienced during the Refining of the Three Thousand Hell Body in his initial cultivation.

He naturally ignored it completely.

But for the average person, such pain would be terrifying.

And...

This was only the pain from lying by oneself; if it had been heard by the entire world, that pain might be unimaginably dreadful.

Lin Yue pondered in his heart.

What exactly did the Demon Clan intend to do by releasing this Dream Realm related to the progeny of the primordial era?

Even though he knew their objective was the fate of the Human Clan, he was still unclear about how the Demon Clan planned to do it?

At this point, the Divine Dream Envoy extended a second finger, introducing the second rule:

"Secondly, here, sins and merits will be clearly revealed, sinners must receive their deserved punishment, and those with merit will also receive their due reward.

"I know, tens of billions of mortals do not understand what sin and merit truly are.

"To put it simply, when you perform an act that benefits the world, that is merit; on the contrary, indiscriminate killing, treating human lives like grass, persecuting others for personal gain... this is sin."

"Everyone just needs to silently think 'sin and virtue,' and you will be able to know your own sins and merits at any time.

"If you wish to investigate another person's sin and virtue, as long as you know the other party's name and appearance, or if you see the other person in front of you, silently think 'I want to know this person's sin and virtue,' and you will also be able to know the other's merits and sins.

"No matter who, even if they wake up, they will be able to check their sin and virtue at any time in reality.

"Of course, I believe that most people will have neither merit nor sin."

Lin Yue frowned slightly, but still tried it out as instructed by so-called Divine Dream Envoy.

The next moment, fog billowed forth, and before his eyes appeared a somewhat mottled and ancient stone tablet.

The tablet bore several lines of writing.

Merit: None

Sin: None

Lin Yue silently gazed at the stone tablet.

He was a man whose fate was hard to predict, naturally having no merit or sin, just like an ordinary person.

At this moment, he also asked others at the Tianxia Building, but to his surprise—

"Merit and sin appeared at the same time?"

Atop the Tianxia Building's Observatory, Lin Yue looked at the Ancient Hall Master in surprise and couldn't help but say, "Aren't merit and sin supposed to cancel each other out?"

The Ancient Hall Master, too, furrowed his brow and said, "I just checked, and indeed they both exist, although I don't know how it's being measured, but after roughly estimating, my merit does indeed appear to be a little higher than my sin."

The few others nearby also nodded slightly, confirming that both merit and sin are separate.

At that time, Tianchan Bodhisattva from the Leiyin Temple next to them quietly said, "In fact, the venerable head of the Heavenly Punishment Department and I have discussed this matter before. Sin and virtue may not cancel each other out after all; it's just that sin can indeed be overshadowed by merit, and Heavenly Dao does not reveal it."

"So you're saying, this unknown true dream realm is capable of revealing both true sin and virtue?" questioned the Ancient Hall Master with a frown.

Lin Yue also slightly furrowed his brow.

Even the Heavenly Punishment Department couldn't discover merit, yet this dream realm could – truly unimaginable.

However, after all, it is related to the Son of Primordial Beginnings, and therefore normal to have such ability.

Just at this moment, the Divine Dream Envoy within the true dream realm began to state the third rule.

"Then comes the third rule."

The Divine Dream Envoy extended the third finger and lowly chuckled:

"I, the Divine Dream Envoy, cannot see anyone's sin or virtue.

"However, anyone has the right to anonymously accuse others of sins, and once verified, the sinner will be immediately given due punishment, while the accuser will receive merit rewards.

"And also... you can choose to accuse anonymously, no one will know it was you, and you will still receive rewards.

"Some people think that merit and sin can cancel each other out, but murderers, even if they have saved others, cannot bring back the dead.

"So... merit and sin cannot cancel each other out; they can only serve as reparation."

Having said this, the Divine Dream Envoy paused, then added, "There are only these three rules. Furthermore, I, the Divine Dream Envoy, through the dream, will investigate the origin of any sinner's sins and display the unaltered facts to all, punishing the criminals involved, giving the Human Clan a clear sky of justice."

His gaze seemed to watch over the billions of people of Great Yong, slowly asserting, "This is the world of the Human Clan; naturally, it should be judged by the Human Clan. Every person has the right to judge and punish."

Subsequently...

The eerie fog slowly dissipated, and the Illusion Realm came to an end.

Back in the Prince Xia's Mansion, Lin Yue silently stood there with a frown.

The Second Prince looked at him and asked, "Is it over?"

"Yes."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, "It seems this is a ruse concocted by the Demon Clan from ancient times... what a trouble this will be..."

He suddenly let out a sneer, shaking his head, "This method is clearly from the Demon Clan, and yet they talk about giving the Human Clan a clear sky of justice? Letting every person judge and punish? I think I probably understand what the Demon Clan wants to do now..."
