The Dream has already unfolded.
Now, if she wants to escape, she must first break free from the Dream.
"Beautiful lady, better save your strength."
Xiao said softly, "If you insist on struggling, then I don’t mind striking when you’re exhausted. Only then it won’t be as easy as I promised earlier. Before killing you, I’ll let you suffer ’pain and humiliation.’ Please trust the ans of a Spiritual Transcendent; in this Dream, I am the only master."
His voice, along with the out-of-control individuals surrounding, made Ye Kaluo feel a wave of despair.
"So, you’d better hurry..."
Just as Xiao spoke halfway, the cargo hold’s ceiling suddenly collapsed—
"Boom!"
The sudden loud noise caught everyone by surprise! Even more unexpected was, amidst the rumbling explosion, a young figure in a black trench coat stepping on falling debris and descending to the bottom layer of the cargo hold!
Xiao’s face froze.
He looked stunned, then roared furiously, "Gu Shen?!!"
Why did this guy suddenly appear here!!
"Gu Shen?"
Ye Kaluo felt a sense of bewildernt; she only found the na sowhat familiar but, due to the previous spiritual shock-induced daze, hadn’t fully reacted.
Wait a minute... This is the Dream World, did this young man nad Gu Shen appear here in "spiritual form"?
"Sorry, Miss Rose, I ca late."
Gu Shen stood up, brushing off the dust himself; he had rushed over from Linz without any delay, attempting to contact Ye Kaluo using special deep water area permissions along the way, ultimately failing.
Since that mont, he knew Ian was right.
Xiao had already initiated the "hunt"... That guy also possessed part of "Deep Sea’s" privileges; he had used this trick to kill Holin.
"You... know ?"
Ye Kaluo’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"I am... the ’Key’ of the Ancient Literature Society."
Gu Shen silently transmitted these words, solving all of Ye Kaluo’s confusion.
If he is the Key, knowing anything wouldn’t be excessive.
Over the past year, the mbers of the Ancient Literature Society only knew the Key had appeared but didn’t know much else.
The Key had not taken action all along...
Ye Kaluo felt that perhaps the Key was still weak, silently accumulating strength, or the action had started but hadn’t spread to the Central Continent.
Today, she finally saw him.
He turned out to be such a... young man in his early twenties.
"Gu Shen, the East Continent’s S-grade." She recalled the significance of the na and its weight, muttering softly, "So it’s you."
"It’s ."
Gu Shen nodded slightly, "The urgent task now is to deal with that guy."
He pointed at Xiao in the distance, whose expression was grim.
Then he looked around.
Gu Shen saw Ye Kaluo’s injuries and the revived "out-of-control" individuals, imdiately understanding what likely happened at the bottom of this cargo ship.
"Big brother..."
At this mont, a soft voice rang beside his ear.
The little girl in a white dress holding a teddy bear slowly ca before Gu Shen.
She raised the teddy bear and tilted her head, asking, "Can you play with ?"
"Careful!"
Ye Kaluo was about to warn him, but saw Gu Shen crouch down and smile, "Sure, how do you want to play? How about this way?"
In the next mont.
A splash of crimson erupted.
A head exploded, the white dress fell to the ground, drenched in blood. Gu Shen looked expressionless at the body, knowing full well... The real little girl had long died; the one speaking was the possessed "Xiao."
"Since you’re already dead, don’t stand again."
Gu Shen rose and gently spoke, "You all, dust to dust, soil to soil, disperse."
The words sounded like divine decree.
The entire bottom of the cargo ship, engulfed in blood-red flas, was struck by a strong surge of spiritual power!
Chi Huo descended, spreading—
"Boom!"
The Dream returned to reality, the blood-red flas at the bottom of the cargo hold gradually disappeared; chaotic remnants remained, and the red-silver glass of the nutrient cabin had long shattered, while the revived out-of-control individuals completely fell into the blood puddles.
They had been given life by Xiao, then stripped of life by Gu Shen.
Life, death.
Were truly the "ultimate authority" held by the Netherworld King.
