In the dreamworld.

The chaotic footsteps grew closer, almost as if they were about to sound right beside Baiyu’s ear.

Through the crack of the door.

Baiyu clearly saw a group of white-robed figures entering other residences, followed by extremely strange, dense murmuring.

Some sort of cult ritual?

Baiyu frowned, pondering silently, and quietly followed this peculiar group of white-robed people.

There were seven of them in total.

One seemed to be the leader because Baiyu noted that on their pure white robes, the forehead part of the hood bore a black symbol.

The other six had identical black symbols, all star-shaped, but the leader’s mark was that of a moon.

Baiyu watched them as they kept moving forward, entering one house after another, and then coming out, repeating the process mechanically without saying a word, seeming both eerie and silent.

After they exited one particular residence, Baiyu slipped inside quietly.

Among those inside, everyone had their eyes shut tightly, yet showed extreme complexity in their expressions.

In dreams, people’s consciousness is unclear.

So all these people appeared to be in a dazed state.

But now, after those white-robed figures entered the room, those caught in the dreamworld seemed to be affected by their actions, entering some bizarre states.

Watching the white-robed figures gradually leave, Baiyu frowned, unsure of how large an area this dream encompasses.

At least this entire area of the Golden Holy District was fully enveloped in the dream.

Moreover, one thing was worth noting.

Those white-robed figures seemed to avoid entering residences of the Extraordinary.

They did not enter Baiyu’s place, nor did they enter the residences of other Extraordinary perceived by Baiyu within the Golden Holy District.

They deliberately avoided the Extraordinary and Martial Artists, avoiding those capable of detecting anomalies.

Strange occurrences.

Baiyu frowned,

and didn’t continue exploring recklessly.

His Spiritual Intuition warned him that great danger lurked behind this event.

...

In the early morning of the next day.

Baiyu awoke from his sleep, looked around, confirmed that the Spiritual Wall he had set showed no signs of damage and no trace of anyone visiting, then slowly sighed in relief, got dressed, and prepared to head to the Adventurer Association.

This is currently the only place.

Where Baiyu could connect with the circle of Extraordinary, perhaps gaining insights into last night’s strange dreamworld.

After all.

The scope of that dream was vast; it couldn’t have been just him among the Extraordinary to fall into the dream.

Upon arriving at the Adventurer Association.

Baiyu noticed the unusual crowd today, even in the early morning, there was a bustle inside, with many stalls selling breakfast at the entrance, unlike several days ago.

He glanced at his portable information device.

It’s similar to a mobile phone but more convenient, heard that some planets have achieved full artificial intelligence, where all planetary work is done by robots, but Chaos Mother Star didn’t seem interested in this aspect.

As Baiyu gradually gathered information on the entire Galaxy Imperial.

He discovered this vast empire, with many planets as numerous as the sea, was fractured.

Which means every planet, every Star Zone, every Star Realm has different habits and customs, resulting in completely different cultures, customs, and languages among people.

The Empire spent thousands of years establishing Imperial language as the unified language, spreading it across the entire Galaxy Imperial.

The Church.

Played the role of religious leader within the Empire, a symbol of unified thought and culture among people.

No matter which planet, there is a primitive worship of Divine Spirits, regardless of which race, there are mythological legends.

Religion.

Is a key element that connects and combines such a vast empire into a cohesive whole.

Imagine two people from different planets, who grew up in completely different environments, met one day, what could they talk about?

Their only common topics would be faith, religion, those human Divine Spirits.

Scar God, Machine God, God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Goddess of Life, God of Justice, Radiance Lord...

So from a broader perspective.

The Galaxy Imperial is essentially a state where politics and religion are unified.

The government cannot exist without the Church, and vice versa.

This results in significant variations besides faith, with some planets pursuing technological paths with advanced artificial intelligence, yet other planets adopting Martial Dao routes.

Chaos Mother Star, a planet with a rugged culture and constant conflicts.

Clearly stands as a blend of the two.

However, technology isn’t extremely advanced, merely adequate, the information device in Baiyu’s hand can check daily information on the planet like a small tablet.

Baiyu glanced at the news.

Then found out that last night’s action wasn’t reported, Oreid’s death seemed to have been covered up by his subordinates.

"So today is Sunday? No wonder there are so many people," Baiyu thought to himself.

He made a detour, entering the club behind the Adventurer Association through the side door.

Today’s attendees were few.

But Baiyu quickly saw Mr. Daylight, who was wearing a mask, sitting alone on the sofa drinking tea.

He didn’t seem overly joyful despite achieving vengeance.

Baiyu’s mouth curled under the mask into a smile quickly approaching the other’s sofa, "You seem not to be happy?"

Mr. Daylight lifted his head, slightly stunned, then took out a box from his side: "Here is the Sealing Object we agreed as a reward.

If you don’t need it.

Then I can help you exchange it for the main material of any Magic Elixir pathway, below Sequence Three."

Baiyu actually wanted to choose the main material.

But currently, he didn’t even know the Magic Elixir recipe for his Sequence Three pathway, let alone what the main material is.

So for now.

He could only choose the Sealing Object.

"Here are the specifics of this Sealing Object, you can examine it thoroughly."

Mr. Daylight took a deep breath, seeing Baiyu saying nothing, then pushed the box over.

Baiyu opened the box.

Inside was a badge of dark hue, subtly emitting black air. Baiyu’s spirituality sensed a heavy gloom on it.

"This badge is called the ’Ghost Badge’, wearing it allows one to undergo Ghost Soul Transformation, and use some ghostly abilities; it is an extremely powerful Sealing Object at Level 2."

Mr. Daylight gave a brief explanation of the Sealing Object’s purpose.

Baiyu closed the box, putting it in his coat pocket: "Pleasure cooperating, Mr. Daylight."

The other sighed bitterly: "Last night’s close brush with death," if there’s a next time, I might not survive."
