“‘Father of Darkness’ Distadact?”
Chen Lun mulled over the name.
He had once learned of this ancient god from Speaker Azjiluo, who seemed to be a deity that had survived from the early eras to the present day; those Didak Bug People were all descended from this Ancient God.
“Yes… It is said that the darkness of this world, all chaos, originates from Him.”
Philip nodded as he spoke.
Chen Lun couldn’t help but frown and ponder; if what Philip said was true, then his mission to investigate the disturbances of the Spirit World would be more than half completed… After all, the mission target was just to clarify what the true source of the turmoil and corruption was.

But he had no evidence at hand, nor had he witnessed anything with his own eyes; solely relying on his word wouldn’t carry any persuasive power.
At the very least, it would not suffice to report back to his superior, McCollin.
Therefore, he must reach the end of the seventh layer of the Dark World to see for himself.
“Philip, is there any way to reach the end of the darkness?”
Chen Lun asked in a grave voice.
Philip raised his hand to stroke his chin, pondering for a moment.
“Jack, you should know that the present world is the foundation of all, to put it metaphorically, it’s like a blank sheet of paper, and yet the composition of this world isn’t just one sheet of paper… The Spirit World is a blue card paper pad underneath, the Dream Realm is an even lower layer of red card paper, and there are overlapping regions between them.”
He gestured with his hands, trying to help Chen Lun understand through a vivid comparison.
“Originally, these worlds were unconnected, each independent, but the True God at the end of the conspiratorial path, the ‘Old Man of Bones,’ once did something; He tore rifts in the overlapping areas of these ‘card papers’ and tirelessly wove a web, connecting them, creating what was called ‘Spiderweb Hell’… Even though His eventual fall meant that the ‘Spiderweb Hell’ remained unfinished, it still connected certain areas, so you could try to detour through the Dream Realm to reach the Spirit World, and thus the end of darkness.”
“From the Dream Realm to the Spirit World…”
Chen Lun slowly nodded, beginning to grasp what Philip was saying.
It was like climbing a high-rise building; he wanted to reach the seventh floor, but the stairs on the fourth floor were broken, making it impossible to ascend… So Philip suggested he could go to the eighth floor first, then descend to the seventh floor.
But that led to a new problem; how could Chen Lun get to the eighth floor?
Chen Lun immediately voiced his doubts.
Philip chuckled and explained,
“The Dream Realm, naturally, can be accessed through dreams. With your insight, you should have already met the conditions to breakthrough into the entrance… But be wary, when you find the unique staircase leading underground in your dreams, make sure to descend with slow and steady steps, walk down 70 steps, and you will see a huge stone door, which is the ‘Door of Slumber’ guarded by Lady Sigh. Going through the ‘Door of Slumber’ and down another 700 steps will take you into the Dream Realm.”
Just as Chen Lun was about to speak, the other party raised a finger solemnly warning him,
“If you want to use this method to reach the Dark World, you’d best hurry, because during this period, Lady Sigh just happens to leave for an hour between one and two in the morning, which is also why I have been able to come and see you temporarily.”
“I understand, Philip, thank you.”
Chen Lun nodded seriously, bowing slightly to him.
“Don’t mention it, Jack, forgive me for not being able to help you much… In the future, I’m still counting on you to rescue me from the Dream Realm,” Philip said, winking and speaking lightheartedly.
Chen Lun suddenly felt a surge of pressure and managed a wry smile, taking the chance to voice a long-held thought:
“With my current strength, I’m afraid I’ll fall short… Although the ‘Juggler’s’ Mystical Accumulation is nearly complete, I lack the Mythological Knowledge of Sequence Four, and I won’t be able to ascend to a high-ranking Saint without it… Philip, I’ve almost completely explored the Immortal Realm, yet I’ve found no knowledge of Sequence Four. Where exactly have you hidden it?”
Philip was slightly taken aback.
He immediately caught the subtext in Chen Lun’s words.
“Ahem…”
Philip coughed awkwardly, then lifted his head and smiled,
“Well, Jack, you might not know this, but mythological knowledge of high orders can’t be conveyed through words… And when I wrote ‘Wonderland of Dreams,’ I hadn’t yet ascended to a higher position, so I wasn’t able to leave you with the knowledge of Sequence Four. But rest assured, I have prepared for this; you can take this opportunity to go to the Dream Realm, where I will place the ‘Destiny Sequence Four – Jester’s’ mythological knowledge in a hidden location for you to retrieve along the way.”
Chen Lun’s eyebrows rose.
He was ecstatic beyond words.
The long-elusive mythological knowledge of Sequence Four now had hope thanks to Philip’s words.
The two briefly chatted a bit more when suddenly, Chen Lun remembered something he had heard from the Naturalist Sect’s Saintess Lutina. It seemed that the Cat God Maggie, Your Majesty, repeatedly clashed with Lady Sigh for Philip’s sake.
After some thought, he decided to pass the message on to Philip.
Upon hearing this, Philip’s expression changed drastically.
“No wonder Lady Sigh left the ‘Door of Slumber’ abruptly several times… This time, it must be because of Maggie!”
He immediately began pacing in place, his brow deeply furrowed, his expression becoming somewhat frantic and anxious… Chen Lun had never seen Philip look this way before.
