At this moment, Audrey even suspected that the "Arrangement of Fate" wasn't to send her to the village of Hedrad to investigate the dragon worship customs, but rather to make her notice something was wrong, feel repulsed, use the "Virtual Persona" ability in the area around the village of Hedrad to quietly guide her two elder brothers into unknowingly changing their minds, allowing this Mind Dragon to discover the special consciousness related to the "Miracle City" Livishid, thus attracting Him.
Even as the one being arranged, Audrey couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. She had to admit that to achieve such an effect, one must have an extremely high level of insight into the human heart and a grasp of the different reactions of different people—a level of skill that makes one shudder with fear just thinking about it.
One must know that Audrey, a Sequence 4 "Manipulator," felt at the time that the progression of events perfectly matched her expectations and completely satisfied her hopes, without a shred of vigilance.
The Mind Dragon retracted its huge, spread membranous wings, lowered its head to look at Audrey in her blue cloak, and said: "This is a Dream Labyrinth pieced together from many minds. Even if the one who set the trap came down in person, it would take some time to find this room. However, I won't be staying for long."
It was clear that He wasn't completely unguarded against the trap, but simply believed some things were worth taking such a huge risk for.
"A Dream Labyrinth… Is this a Beyonder power of a 'Dreamweaver,' or rather a power after a qualitative transformation?" Audrey restrained her thoughts and asked steadily.
"What do you want to know?"
The grayish-white giant dragon with large scales rumbled: "My name is Erehoge. I am one of the only three remaining Ancient Dragons."
He meant that He was one of the three giant dragons who had survived since the Second Epoch, and the current scarce various dragon species were merely descendants of the giant dragons from the Age of the
Behind her, in the wilderness overgrown with dark green weeds, a wooden door stood without any support, appearing extremely bizarre.
Erehoge, not wasting any time either, asked after the self-introduction: "Where did you find Livishid?"
Audrey was prepared and answered frankly: "In a book called *
"
Audrey, with her smooth blonde hair flowing down, briefly described: "There is an almost real world inside that book. At the same time, it can suck people who meet the conditions or offer their own blood into the book, allowing them to live in that world."
Erehoge was silent for two seconds before saying: "Does that world inside the book have a Collective Subconscious Ocean?"
"Yes." Audrey gave a very definite answer. "The 'Miracle City' Livishid I saw is at the depths of the Collective Subconscious Ocean within the book world."
Erehoge's breath suddenly became a little heavier: "In that Livishid, what did you see?"
Audrey recalled for a moment and said: "A city filled with giant pillars, one magnificent palace after another."
"Furthermore, I entered the Giant Dragon King's residence. There, the innermost voice of every living being echoes directly around them. I call it the 'Hall of Honesty'."
"At the end of the 'Hall of Honesty', behind the Giant Dragon King's divine throne, there is an ancient and mysterious bronze gate. I don't know what it seals, but in any case, it is very dangerous. I didn't dare to approach it at all."
Audrey was speaking the absolute truth, she just didn't mention Mr. "World," Mr. "Star," and her own speculations.
Erehoge, this Ancient Dragon, fell completely silent. It was unknown whether He was recalling something or analyzing the current state of Livishid.
During this process, His head drooped down little by little, as if He was about to topple headfirst from the top of the hundred-meter-tall giant pillar towards the ground.
Just as Audrey's nerves were becoming more strained by this slightly eerie scene and she was about to speak up and ask a question, Erehoge suddenly raised His head.
His pale golden slit pupils turned even colder, and His voice echoed through the wilderness once again: "Livishid..."
Amidst a rumbling sound like thunder, the things hidden in the deep darkness behind Erehoge quickly became clear, revealing their outlines against the gradually brightening scene: They were giant stone pillars tens to hundreds of meters high, some standing alone, others jointly supporting majestic but primitive palaces.
These stone pillars and palaces were mostly grayish-white, resting on island-like foundations, exactly the same as the "Miracle City" Livishid that Audrey had just described.
No, it seemed that this was the very "Miracle City" Livishid itself.
It was only at this moment that Audrey realized that the ancient Mind Dragon, Erehoge, was crouching on the top of the tallest and thickest stone pillar in Livishid.
At this moment, she vaguely felt that Erehoge had undergone some subtle changes.
The moment her emerald green eyes flickered, a sound of a metal doorknob being turned came from behind her.
This... Audrey suppressed the impulse to suddenly turn around, warily turned her body to the side, and cast a sidelong glance.
