Chapter 1031: Chapter 902: The Illusion City and the Possibility of Interstellar Immigration

Located between the Material World and the Spirit Realm, a vast gold-cyan Star of immeasurable scale from the outside was floating and sinking within.

Yet inside this "Star" was a world unto itself.

At the very outer edge near the boundary lay an endless expanse of azure waves and an incomparably flourishing marine ecosystem.

Further in were islands scattered like stars, large and small. On every island there existed its own peculiar system of flora and fauna, and even rules with distinct characteristics.

Breadfruit trees that bear real bread, rice plants taller than a man, a single bundle of wheat enough to stuff you full, berries that can be pressed into syrup of 98% purity... such things covered these islands everywhere.

If one took the trouble to search, even a "lake of wine and forest of meat" was not impossible to find; it was practically the paradise of myth.

At the very center of this Little Thousand World was a vast continent, upon which a sky-piercing Life Tree propped up the heavens, its branches and leaves extending in all directions.

It also resembled a skeleton frame, making this 12,000-square-kilometer Little Thousand World named [Wizard Secret Realm: Central Courtyard] even more stable.

Whoosh—!

Fresh Spiritual Wind blew past, accompanied by a pleasant chiming of bells.

Amid the lush canopy of the "Life Tree," one could see, atop that massive crown which shaded half the Secret Realm, a compact, three-dimensional city full of Elven style standing tall.

This was a building cluster divided into three levels from top to bottom. It had soaring spires, domes, flying buttresses, floor-to-ceiling windows... as well as naturally grown treehouses, emerald moss carpets, and wooden arches blooming with flowers...

The city exuded delicacy and refinement at every turn, more like a dreamy fairy-tale world than even White Swan Castle.

The more than one thousand [Gem Spirits] and [Invisible Sons] made their home here.

While keeping the entire Secret Realm running in an orderly fashion, they were also responsible for cultivating, harvesting, and processing all kinds of Extraordinary Resources, supplying the enormous Extraordinary System of the Galliot Duchy’s official side.

And at the very top layer of this beautiful city, also the core region of the Life Tree’s crown—

There stood only a single villa, not particularly large but exceedingly cozy, with a signature giant wisteria tree in front of the Door. This was the home of the Master of the Secret Realm.

Splish splish...

Beside the garden villa, several clear streams brimming with the breath of life converged here into a beautiful little lake shimmering with Spiritual Light.

Under the sunlight it glittered with ripples, tranquil and distant.

This was Essence of Life formed by the "Life Tree" drawing upon the power of the Spirit Realm Sun, augmented by the Secret Realm Trait [Nature’s Favor].

It possessed the marvelous effect of delaying aging, and was also an important new raw material for many types of Magic Potion.

In fact, if a mortal could soak in it continuously, achieving physical eternal youth would be no problem at all.

"Hahaha... take this!"

"She’s actually using Witchcraft—Sis, come help us!"

Anita, Olivia, Angie, and Liweina, the four of them, were wearing swimsuits of the same style but different colors, swimming and frolicking in the clear little lake.

What was a treasure priceless to the outside world—especially the elderly nobles and tycoons of various countries—was, to them, no different from the "Holy Baptism Pool" in a Goddess’s home.

The swimsuits and stockings were made from the same base material.

They were fabrics obtained by blending nylon filament and staple fibers with other fibers, combining the advantages and strengths of multiple materials, possessing both elasticity and softness, and nicely outlining their curvaceous, perfect figures.

Whoosh—

While the two "Titled Knights" whose power had advanced greatly—Anita and Liweina—went off to race in the water, Olivia, wearing a sapphire-blue one-piece swimsuit, came back up onto the shore.

Stepping on the staggered branches that formed natural steps, she bounced her way to a bough directly above the little lake, the spot with the best view.

Aiven, in beach shorts, was lying leisurely on a chair, but instead of appreciating the beautiful scenery below, his fingers kept sketching something in the air.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the scene of two True Gods using a sky full of rosy clouds as their edge, dueling with swords upon the clouds.

Fizz! Fizz!...

Even without using any Extraordinary Power, Swordsmanship at the Perfection Level allowed his fingers to tear through the air with ease.

"It’s a pity the battle was far too short."

Aiven had long known that as great existences who completely surpassed humans in ability, Wisdom, form, Personality, thought, cognition, and even the dimensions they occupied, True Gods were on an entirely different level.

Humans could not observe Their forms, could not understand the words They spoke, and even less could grasp Their thoughts.

Yet all of that was only a byproduct of Their True God Status and power.

Including Swordsmanship, the Art of Command, Battle Array Slaughter... and the other principles that had surfaced in that battle—though the two True Gods had displayed them in Combat, They might not be able to put them into words.

For the most crucial thing that made a True God a True God was called the [Key of Origin], Their Administrator Permissions, by which every move They made could stir the world’s rules into resonance.

If They were one day to fall in Personality like those Ancient Gods, all Their divinity would disperse like smoke...

Olivia sat down beside Aiven, gently lifting the head of her husband, who was lost in Swordsmanship and unable to extricate himself, and let him pillow it upon her smooth, jade-like, rounded thighs.

Feeling the cool, silky, wonderful sensation beneath his head, and the faint, cold fragrance like Moonlight, Aiven finally stopped his movements, burrowed a little deeper into his wife’s embrace, and let out a comfortable sigh.

The two of them just sat there quietly on the high boughs of the "Life Tree," looking up at that Spirit Realm Sun above their heads, which seemed as if it had never changed since time immemorial. Their two hearts, nestled against each other, gradually grew calm.

No one knew how much time had passed.

"Main God! Madam! Please enjoy."

A pretty Night Spirit in a maid dress and high heels came up carrying two glasses of juice.

However, unlike those Night Spirit maids who had served the Galliot family for more than ten years, this Night Spirit young lady’s bearing was clearly much more capable, and her power far stronger.

Simply because she came from those hundred "Spider Night Spirits" they had conveniently rescued after capturing the[Deceitful Dream].

And it wasn’t just these Night Spirits twisted by "Corrupting Blood".

Without Olivia’s[Moonstone: Spiritual Purification]—that miraculous power capable of reversing loss of control—even Nymph, whose original personality had been covered over by the Ancient God’s Dream Realm, might never have had a chance to return to her true self in this lifetime.

Let alone turning misfortune into blessing and obtaining tremendous benefits...

Seeing this Night Spirit young lady, Aiven and Olivia couldn’t help but cast their gazes toward the "Life Tree" below.

At this moment, at the land border within the[Wizard Secret Realm].

Nymph, who now looked completely restored to her former self, was wearing a chiffon beach dress strung with pearls, white oak slippers on her feet, high-spirited as she stood atop the lofty forecastle of a super giant sailing warship.

Right now, although she wasn’t wearing any jewelry.

Her body seemed to radiate a layer of lustrous sheen from inside out, as if she were a translucent humanoid gemstone, carrying a unique allure.

This phenomenon was precisely the sign of an Upper-Rank Wizard who had pushed to the extreme and had already begun transforming into a Non-human.

Although she had suffered no small torment after being seized by the Ancient God.

At this time she had obtained all of the "Source of Nightmare" Hypnos’ knowledge, and with her own Upper-Rank Wizard Understanding, had reorganized it through rational thought.

One could say that Nymph was only a single ritual away from becoming a Tier 4 Crowned Wizard, especially with the help of[Deceitful Dream], this "treasure ship" with which she had one hundred percent compatibility; there were no more obstacles on her promotion path.

She had even gone a step further than Olivia, the public chief of the "Gem School".

Moreover,[Deceitful Dream]had also drastically changed in appearance at this time.

After Olivia poured in great effort, sacrificing several high-quality Moonstones for purification, all the Ghosts and Evil Spirits remaining within that needed to be annihilated were annihilated, and those that needed to be sent to the Netherworld were sent to the Netherworld.

Then, using the Treasure Trees in Aiven’s[Wizard Secret Realm]that had only matured not long ago, she repaired and rebuilt it.

They almost exhausted the 15,000 "Treasure Trees" he had planted more than ten years ago; originally, those Treasure Trees would have been enough to construct three more Legendary Battleships (Chapter 661).

But in their view, it was all worth it!

[Deceitful Dream]already contained a portion of the essential power of two Demigods, far surpassing Legendary Battleships whose strength could only reach Tier 4.

Once the new ship was built, with that profound foundation, it leapt in one stroke to become a super warship that transcended all Legendary Battleships.

This tier had never appeared once in the entire history of human navigation.

Aiven simply borrowed the[Mythical Battleship: Nagilfa]the Evil Gods were building and likewise named this brand-new warship[Mythical Battleship: Phantom City]!

Although there might be a vast gap between it and[Nagilfa]—which used fingernails from four Era Survivors as raw material and was jointly built by all the gods—there was at least no essential difference.

Once the warship’s finalized form was fixed, its parameters were: length 304.5 meters, beam 75 meters, displacement 55,000 tons, equipped with five giant masts.

Abilities: unlike the[Crown of Miracles]which could only use[Dream Cruise], the[Illusion City]itself could launch attacks within the Dream Realm, and could even drag an enemy’s entire fleet into the dream to ravage at will.

And after Nymph, the captain, re-unified the scattered power of the "God of Sleep"...

She even bestowed upon this Mythical Battleship, in the final ritual, the[Mythical Grand Rite: Little Thousand World], far beyond[Legendary Battleship Skills].

According to their preliminary exploration, there were 2,885 spaces of various sizes inside; although the smallest space was only as large as an ordinary room, the largest one reached 371,000 square kilometers.

All the spaces in the[Little Thousand World]added together totaled a full 5.12 million square kilometers.

It could autonomously connect to the Spirit Realm Sun and achieve a completely closed ecological cycle.

In fact.

Ever since the last Era Catastrophe ended,[Deceitful Dream], as the fusion of[Water]and the[Dream Realm], had already been born, and throughout the long span of an entire Era, it had undergone countless "evolutions".

It had to be said this was a miracle shaped by the long ages, a miracle comparable to creation itself!

Looking at this colossus of a warship, Aiven and Olivia’s eyes shone with Vigoration.

The remodeled[Mythical Battleship: Phantom City], though perhaps not excessively dazzling in Combat strength—merely able to crush all Legendary Battleships.

But combined with[Catrio’s Wheel]on the moon, it was enough to make the other path of evading the catastrophe—"interstellar immigrants"—truly possible!

There was no need to wait for human technology to evolve to the space age; as long as a small number of descendants of the[Gem River]were born and the[Illusion City]hid inside the dreams of these "Astronauts", large-scale immigration could be realized.

Whether or not it was ultimately used, at least their kin, subordinates, and the majority of humanity would not just sit and wait for death.

Aiven and Olivia exchanged a glance, silent thoughts intersecting.

Next step: Nymph, Olivia, Angie... would go all out to break through to Crowned Wizard, and even[Truth Embodiment]!
