When Yun Ran regained consciousness again, the sky was already completely dark, and the room was pitch-black as well, without the slightest bit of light.

The instant she opened her eyes, it was truly darkness as far as she could see; Yun Ran almost suspected she had gone blind.

Fortunately, at this moment, her mind was no longer as blank as before.

Countless fragmented images finally stopped being a chaotic mess and all connected together.

Yun Ran closed her eyes to get used to the process of her memories returning to her mind; although it felt a bit uncomfortable, it was still within a controllable range.

After a long while, Yun Ran opened her eyes again, and the expression on her face turned completely speechless.

"Hah, there are strange things every year, but this year there are especially many!"

When she said this, Yun Ran was gnashing her teeth. It was just backlash, just temporary amnesia, yet she somehow managed to toss herself straight into the enemy’s lair.

Yun Ran raised her hand to form a seal, wanting to see what the situation was now. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

A streak of luminous light swept past in front of Yun Ran’s eyes. Her pupils suddenly contracted. Goodness, what a piece of work, what a piece of work!!!

"Damn copper mirror, it actually dared to drag your grandma into a Dream Realm formed by someone’s obsession!"

Yun Ran, who originally wasn’t all that worried about her own situation, felt her skin tighten at this moment.

For a mere obsession to be able to give rise to such a Dream Realm, just how terrifyingly strong must the owner of this obsession be?

Her intrusion into it, any slight change, was very likely to trigger some sort of butterfly effect; there would be many risks that would be hard to control.

No matter how arrogant Yun Ran was, she did not dare brag that she could remain safe and sound within a realm formed by a great cultivator’s obsession.

A shiver rose up out of nowhere.

Yun Ran hurriedly patted herself all over, slapping away the goosebumps on her body.

"No, I can’t destroy this Dream Realm formed by the obsession. I’ve got to hide myself well, mustn’t be discovered, have to keep a low profile..."

After deciding what to do next, Yun Ran finally took a deep breath, then lifted the quilt on her body that was as heavy as a brick and got out of bed.

The surroundings were still pitch-black, but at this moment, it no longer affected Yun Ran’s vision in the slightest.

She walked accurately to the wooden door, lifted the curtain, and outside, Moonlight and starlight spilled all over the earth.

Such a beautiful scene was nowhere to be seen in a world polluted by all kinds of industry and light.

If not for the fact that her current situation was a bit troublesome, Yun Ran would really have pulled out her recliner and leisurely enjoyed this moment.

Someone was patrolling not far away. Seeing Yun Ran come out, that person immediately strode over quickly, bent both knees, and knelt down.

"Lord Divine Envoy!"

Compared to when she was amnesiac and still carried a hint of uncertainty in her heart, Yun Ran was much more at ease now.

As if she really was the Divine Envoy of these Black Robed People.

Yun Ran didn’t even twitch an eyelid; her tone was icy-cold: "Get up."

The person kneeling not far away not only harbored no dissatisfaction, he even felt that the fact Lord Divine Envoy was willing to open her mouth and let him get up was already a great blessing.

Just then, a pillar of white light shot up from the ground straight into the sky.

This streak of light drew everyone’s attention, including Yun Ran’s.

The patroller’s head also snapped in that direction; by the light of the moon, Yun Ran could even see the wild joy in his eyes.

"Great, the altar has finally been successfully activated!"

These words were like a key that opened up a fragment of memory in Yun Ran’s mind.

Yun Ran’s heart gave a fierce thump, and she subconsciously started checking herself. Very soon, she discovered a faint mark on her arm.

The corners of Yun Ran’s lips immediately hooked into a cold smile.

If not for the fact that she could still hear voices when she fainted earlier, she absolutely would not have known that during her coma, someone had taken some of her blood.

The mark on her arm was almost unnoticeable now, let alone leaving the slightest sense of pain.

That alone showed that that physician’s skills were indeed not small.

Since the altar was opened with her blood, if she didn’t go have a look, it would make it seem like she was easy to bully.

"Didn’t expect the altar to be up already. Take me over for a look!"

The patroller wouldn’t dare disobey Lord Divine Envoy’s words. He immediately bowed and agreed, then walked ahead a few steps to lead the way.

The pillar of white light shooting into the sky looked very close to the village they were staying in, but in reality, the walk there was not short.

By rough estimate, they walked for half an hour or more before they finally reached the outer perimeter of the altar.

There were already quite a few people kneeling in this area. Even with Moonlight and starlight shining down, the surroundings still appeared to be one dark, pressing mass.

On the altar itself, naturally, there were also many people kneeling.

The closer they got, the thicker the smell of blood became. At this moment, even though they were still some distance away, Yun Ran could already guess that those people on the altar had become the sacrifices.

This immediately made Yun Ran feel somewhat physically uncomfortable. If she hadn’t already seen plenty of brutal scenes, she truly might not have been able to take it.

Yet all around them, the people had no reaction whatsoever, as if everything before their eyes was perfectly normal.

But when facing her, a fake Divine Envoy, they were so timid and obedient.

These contradictory traits blended together only highlighted how numb yet cruel these people were.

Yun Ran’s appearance startled a few people, but at this moment, what was happening on the altar was clearly more captivating.

Those people merely saluted Yun Ran respectfully, then turned their eyes back to the altar with even greater fanaticism.

Yun Ran blocked off her sense of smell, which was the only way she could stare fixedly at the altar without the slightest abnormal reaction.

Until the blood of all those kneeling on the altar was completely drained.

A voice descended from the sky, something like an Immortal Sound.

The voice was indistinct, like a murmur, or as if it was coming from too far away, making it impossible for the sound to transmit in full.

In any case, there was simply no way to clearly make out what that voice was saying.

Yet everyone around the altar acted as if they had taken stimulants; every face was filled with wild ecstasy.

Even those who were bound behind their backs, waiting to be offered up as sacrifices, wore the same intoxicated expression.

Yun Ran: ...

Was this really a blessing granted by a Heavenly God? Why did she feel more like this was an Evil God bewitching people’s hearts?

As if to confirm what Yun Ran had just been thinking, under this so-called Immortal Sound chanting softly,

an elderly man with graying hair, holding a Magic Artifact polished from some unknown bone in his hands, prostrated himself on the ground.

He continued to shout loudly, "Please, Heavenly God, bestow your blessing!"

Immediately after, voices crying out for the Heavenly God’s blessing rang out one after another, as if they were all devout believers.

The discomfort in Yun Ran’s heart grew ever more pronounced,
