The crowd stared at the tree trunk they had originally marked; its bark showed no signs of any man-made markings.
But just a mont ago.
Baiyu had personally made the mark, which everyone had seen.
"What’s going on?"
ng Lei’s face turned a livid shade, and he asked in a gruff voice.
The muscular strongman clearly couldn’t understand what was happening before him.
Of course.
Not just him.
Zhang Ruoxu and Ji Long were also at a loss.
They felt they had vaguely grasped so key points, had thoughts in their minds, but it was all a tangled ss they couldn’t unravel.
The situation at hand was far beyond just being lost.
However, while the other four were buried in thought, unable to figure out the situation.
Baiyu was staring at the tree trunk, lost in thought.
"Baiyu, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Ruoxu quickly asked upon seeing this.
Baiyu said, "I think there are two possibilities: one is that the bark heals and restores itself.
But this possibility is very low.
I just broke off a branch to test it myself; it doesn’t grow back automatically.
The second... is that we are in a ti loop!"
The four were startled upon hearing this.
Ji Long frowned and said, "A ti loop? What does that an?"
"It ans we are trapped within a closed segnt of ti and space, endlessly repeating, unable to escape."
Baiyu reminded them, "Let’s not forget why we ca here.
The God of Enclosure.
Also known as the Serpent of Endless Enclosure."
This reminder.
Ji Long and Zhang Ruoxu’s eyes shone with clarity as they instantly understood Baiyu’s aning.
"If we compare the ti and space we’re in to an infinitely expanding line.
Then what we’re experiencing now.
Is a segnt of this infinite line that has been coiled into a circle by soone.
We move from one end of the segnt to the other, only to return to the starting point.
Repeating over and over.
So we are in an endless loop within ti and space."
Baiyu continued to explain.
ng Lei looked grim as he said, "So we’re not lost at all, but have been walking in the right direction and path all along.
However.
We are just spinning around in this circle.
Once we pass the endpoint.
We imdiately return to the start.
Back to the initial position we entered from!
No matter whether it’s ti or space, it all returns to this point.
The only thing unchanged.
Is our mory."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s heart was filled with dread.
This kind of power.
Even Sequence One demigods could definitely not achieve.
Intercepting ti and space is sothing only deities can do.
"Now it seems likely that this is indeed the case."
Baiyu sighed.
He had greatly underestimated the dangers of the Dream Realm.
Ji Long felt a tinge of regret.
He had thought it was a trivial matter, but who could have imagined that it would drag them into the Dream Realm.
And.
Now they were facing divine-level power.
A deity, a divine being!
Humans are powerless to resist such greatness, existing beyond mortal reach.
Mortal Bone.
How can it survive under the might of a god?
It’s important to note.
Over the years, the Holy Light Church has grown increasingly anxious due to losing connection with the Radiant Lord, who no longer delivers Oracles.
Because they are fully aware.
The Holy Light Church exists today solely because of the protection of the Radiant Lord’s divine light.
Should anything happen.
It would spell the end for the church.
While there might not be an issue in the short term, over ti it would inevitably collapse.
Thus.
The Holy Light Church continuously cultivates the Heart Fire Wolves in hopes of awakening the consciousness of the ancient, invincible deity from the Sun Church faith.
Baiyu quickly said, "Elders, now all we can do is find a way to break the cycle.
Besides.
The other party clearly isn’t that terrifying.
Otherwise, if It had erased, controlled, or altered our mories, we’d never realize anything was wrong.
We would just die in endless loops.
It doesn’t do this.
Either it’s unable to do so.
Or it doesn’t want to take our lives.
In any case, we still have a chance to survive.
In the Martial Arts Realm, achieving life through certain death is not uncommon."
Ji Long and Zhang Ruoxu were sowhat surprised to hear this.
In this situation.
Contrarily, Baiyu, the person with the lowest cultivation, comforted them and steadied the team.
Rumor has it that this young man has a resilient nature, with exceptionally strong spirit and willpower.
Apparently, it’s not just empty talk.
Their opinion of Baiyu increased further.
Ji Long said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, even if there really is an Evil God behind this, we won’t just sit here waiting."
After he finished speaking.
His eyes shone brightly, and golden-red flas erupted from his body.
Like a torch, it lit up the darkness around them, creating a pathway in the infinitely tranquil forest.
Ji Long exhaled a breath and said, "Stay close to ."
Finishing his words.
He took a step forward.
Whether it was the fireflies in the air or the surrounding trees, as he passed, each was consud by the golden-red flas.
Baiyu looked on, astonished.
"This is the Divine Bathing Light, an ability of the Illuminators, Sequence Two in the Holy Light Sequence.
It seems.
Ji Long is going all out."
Beside him.
Zhang Ruoxu’s voice softly drifted into Baiyu’s ear.
Baiyu glanced at him.
Seeing the old man gaze fixedly ahead with focused composure surprised him.
Unexpectedly.
The old man had the ti to explain this to him.
...
After the Divine Bathing Light was used, it felt like they were walking on a collapsing path.
With every step forward.
Everything behind them.
Was burnt to ashes by the golden-red fire emanating from Ji Long.
Upon reaching the end of the path.
This ti.
Returning to the original point didn’t happen.
With a loud crack, akin to a shattering mirror, the true scenario unfolded before them.
In front lay a crossroad of two intersecting paths.
They stood on the main road.
There were a total of four branching paths.
In the middle of the main and branching roads, there was a decaying wooden table.
A humanoid creature in a black robe sat behind the wooden table.
Everyone stayed cautious.
This scene was as strange as it could get.
Creatures of the Dream Realm mostly relate to Immortals, Nad Ones, or deities.
Despite having a humanoid form.
But.
Who knows.
If this creature is even human?
"It seems we’ve made it through; all that before was just an appetizer..."
Ji Long withdrew the roaring flas around himself.
Because he noticed.
The surrounding no longer responded to his flas.
This ant they had broken through the endlessly repeating ti and space, into the real Dream Realm.
"Let handle this."
At this mont, Zhang Ruoxu spoke.
Ji Long nodded, refraining from further words, and moved aside.
The crossroad situation, without clear understanding, certainly couldn’t be approached together.
One person must test the waters first to discern the reality.
