Chapter 209 The Hidden Secrets of the Gods
Inside the Divine Assembly Hall, Tang Zijun sat in the very center, with Xiaobai in his lap, while Tan Zhixin and Queen Ruosi sat in their respective places beside him.
It must be said that Tang Zijun was quite pleasantly surprised to be back in this place.
Compared to my last visit, the interior decoration of the Divine Assembly Hall is significantly more exquisite, and the surrounding life energy is extremely rich, with even a hint of sweetness in the air.
This also shows that the Tree of Life is in a very good state now, much better than when it was half-dead before. Although it is not as good as in its prime, it has at least a bit of the appearance of a 'god'.
To describe the Tree of Life at this moment in the simplest terms, it would be like the consciousness of an infant being projected onto the body of a special forces soldier. She is very powerful, but she still needs a lot of time to adapt to this body.
And this is the most important task for the Flower Fairy Clan at present.
Since the fall of the previous High Priestess, the Flower Fairy Queen Ruth has temporarily assumed the position. She has begun to try to establish a connection with the Tree of Life and is gradually teaching the newborn sapling to adapt to this new world.
Queen Rose proved to be very talented; she successfully allowed the Tree of Life to take root in the Mirror Dimension and began to feed on desires on its own, absorbing and purifying the negative energy there.
As the group exchanged pleasantries, a streak of light flew swiftly through the gate. Before they could even see who it was, they heard a chattering sound.
"Tang Zijun, you're here! I heard you wanted to see me. What is it?"
Seeing that Hyacinth showed absolutely no reverence, as if visiting the Divine Assembly Hall was like going to visit a distant relative, Queen Ruos frowned slightly with a hint of helplessness on her face.
"Hyacinth, mind your manners! This is the Temple of the Gods, and the one standing before you is the great God of Reversal. How can you be so rude?"
"It's alright, she's fine as she is." Tang Zijun smiled.
When all sorts of troubles weigh on your shoulders, it's nice to have an optimist like Hyacinth by your side to lift your spirits. And judging from her silly appearance, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be changed.
"Hehehe." Hyacinth scratched its head and circled in the air. "Tang Zijun, what brings you here? Are you going to take me on another adventure to that other world?"
"That world?" Queen Rose was slightly taken aback when she heard Hyacinth's words.
Because Tang Zijun strictly forbade Hyacinth from revealing anything about the dream world, Queen Ruos was unaware of these matters.
Furthermore, since Hyacinth had left with Tang Zijun, Ruosi didn't ask where they went, only assuming it was a trial given to Hyacinth by the gods.
But now, having heard a glimpse of information from the hyacinth, Queen Rose was immediately puzzled.
"Ah, that's one of the reasons I've come here."
Tang Zijun let out a soft breath, her smile fading. Her gaze swept over Tan Zhixin and Queen Ruosi before finally settling on the little white dog in her arms.
"I kept these things from you before because I was worried that you would also be affected. Besides, it was during the invasion of the Skull Lords, and I didn't have much energy to deal with these things."
"But things are different now. After several explorations, and with some intelligence I have personally gathered, I now have reason to suspect that a group of extremely terrifying beings are lurking outside our world, and they could destroy our world at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the interior of the Divine Assembly Hall fell into a sudden silence.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became somewhat frozen.
Tan Zhixin knew some of the inside story, so her expression immediately became serious. As for Queen Ruosi, although she didn't know what had happened, she was still extremely respectful to Tang Zijun.
In her eyes, Tang Zijun is a god who rules an entire divine realm dimension. In the mythological era, she would be a being who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
For him to say these words with such a serious expression, the enemy's terror must be beyond everyone's imagination, far beyond what someone like Sir Skull could match.
Xiao Qing flicked her tongue. "You, you mean the Inner World and the Shadow World?"
Hiro: "No, while the Otherworld and the Shadow World are troublesome, they are merely chronic problems for the real world. What I'm talking about are the things that can truly threaten reality."
Tang Zijun spoke calmly, "If those guys really find a way to descend into the real world, perhaps none of us will be able to protect ourselves."
Xiao Qing opened her mouth, her snake eyes wide open.
The others also looked somewhat stiff. Tang Zijun's words were a bit frightening; for a deity to utter such words as "she herself is in danger" left them feeling a bit dazed.
"I don't know how many of you understand those existences, nor do I know how deep the connection between that world and the real world is. I only hope you understand that the greatest threat is not beneath us, but above us..."
"Above your head?"
"The dream world, or rather, the dream dimension." Tang Zijun pointed upwards, then turned her gaze to Queen Ruos. "Have you heard of it?"
"Dream World, Dream World..." Queen Ruth frowned. It wasn't that she hadn't heard this name before; on the contrary, she had heard it from the elders of her tribe more than once.
That was before she became the Flower Fairy Queen. At that time, like most other Flower Fairies, she was just a student learning about history from the elders.
What she never expected was that one day she would hear that name again from the mouth of another god.
"Hyacinth once told me that the dream world is a dimension that exists above the real world, a world that is difficult for reality to reach. Moreover, in mythology, the gods even waged a war against those creatures. Is that true?"
"Yes, yes." Queen Rose nodded slightly. "That world is called the Dream Realm. This name was given by the other gods. Before the real world was invaded, none of us knew about the existence of that dimension."
"Could you tell me in detail who won that war?" Tang Zijun pressed for details.
"It's hard to describe... I should say there were no winners."
Queen Rose made no attempt to conceal anything; she quickly revealed everything she knew, things that Hyacinth had never disclosed before.
"The dream world and the real world are connected in an indescribable way. The only way to communicate between them is through dreams. Before that, the two are in a state where they cannot see into each other's world."
"According to the elders, the time when the real world first came into contact with dreams is impossible to determine. Perhaps it was the first time that apes were awakened in the cave, or perhaps it was the gods' exploration of the spiritual world."
"In short, when the gods discovered the existence of that world, the passage between them had already been opened, and the connection was gradually becoming closer."
Tan Zhixin and Xiaoqing were at a loss for words to describe their current feelings.
They never imagined that one day they would be able to discuss the secrets of the ancient gods with a group of long-lived beings, and most importantly, they did not feel the slightest bit out of place.
Perhaps their values had already shattered after they met Tang Zijun.
Gently rubbing her temples, Tan Zhixin asked, "Since the gods had already discovered the existence of the dream world back then, didn't they take any action?"
"Of course there is. Zeus established a special organization and had Morpheus, the god of dreams, and a group of demigods monitor the movements of the dream world."
'
Queen Rose spoke earnestly about what sounded like a fantasy to any ordinary person.
"And it's not just that. Other divine realms have also taken corresponding measures. Anubis wrapped human bodies in sacred cloth and led them into the dream world to guard the passage. Odin would personally fall into sleep every now and then to cleanse the evil creatures that invaded from the dream world. But none of these measures can completely eliminate the threat from the dream world."
"The monsters that extend from the dream seem endless; they are constantly eroding living beings in reality and can even threaten the lives of the gods."
Tang Zijun and Tan Zhixin exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Although she had previously speculated about similar developments, receiving confirmation from Queen Ruos still gave Tang Zijun a sense of urgency.
I thought I was now able to protect my sister and family, but it seems that the threats beyond reality are far more serious than I imagined.
Even the ancient gods who held the power of the laws could not completely solve the troubles of the dream world. How could a mere human like myself really be capable of handling these matters?
Just then, Tan Zhixin asked curiously, "Didn't the gods actively go to the dream world to investigate?"
"I've raised similar questions before," Queen Ruth said, giving Tan Zhixin a deep look. "But the elders told me that the dream world is an unexplorable forbidden zone, one that even the gods avoid like the plague."
"Why?" Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know the specifics either, as this involves the secrets of the gods. However, I suspect it might be related to the rules of the dream world, where the power of the gods cannot be sustained."
Queen Rose said softly.
"In other words, even the gods cannot unleash their true power in that place; all they can do is..."
It's merely holding onto the barriers of reality, passively reacting to attacks.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's eyes flickered.
At that moment, he immediately thought of himself and the Reversed World.
Just as Ruosi said, after being pulled into the dream world, she indeed lost contact with the reversed world. You must know that she was the actual controller of the reversed world.
Even back in the near-shattered secret realm, he was able to easily communicate with the location of the reversed world, but in the dream world, all these connections were severed by some kind of force.
Imagine the gods of ancient times; were they also experiencing the same predicament as you?
Once they descend into the dream world, they completely lose their connection with the divine realm, and even their own power is suppressed, making it impossible for them to display actual divine power.
