I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 668 - 435 Confusion_2
Chapter 668 -435 Confusion_2
Beyond that, a derivative problem equally baffled Chen Lun.
This was the striking similarity between the Black Sun Pathway and the Moon Path. The relationship between the two was unknown. According to the records in the Mystic Realm of the current age, there was hardly any description of the “Black Sun Faction,” let alone the “Profound Mother.”
Chen Lun still vaguely remembered that when he received the Supernatural Knowledge, a detached voice echoed in his mind, the most striking impression being that phrase, “The Sun only needs one.”
‘Could that voice be the Sun God?!’
He startled himself with his own guess.
Yet, based on such clues, the inference was reasonable.
After all, the one most likely to utter that sentence was none other than the Father of Fierceness himself.
‘Assuming that the black-red celestial body is seen as Distadact, the Father of Darkness, then the red mother that serves as the sole light source beneath the continent in the Land of Matthaios is very likely an incarnation of the Father of Darkness… to the point where the bug tide contamination not only spreads from the end of darkness but has even started to ravage underground.’
If the world were compared to a great tree, at this moment, its interior and roots had already begun to suffer erosion, and perhaps once the contamination reached a certain degree, this great tree would collapse and be destroyed in an instant.
Chen Lun’s mood became heavier.
He raised his hand and pinched his slightly throbbing temples.
‘Lastly, who was the person that helped me when I left the Dream Realm?’
Chen Lun was clear that he had been intercepted by Miss Sigh at that time. Had there not been someone to help him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
‘Miss Sigh, Dominiya…’
He firmly remembered this name and that swath of dark red dress hem.
“My Lord Patron, we are full.”
At this moment, Nada’s voice pulled Chen Lun back from his thoughts.
He turned to look, seeing Nada and the other black cats standing up, their faces showing gratitude.
“Thank you for the food you have given, my Lord Patron!”
Chen Lun smiled softly.
“There’s no need for such formalities. Rest for a bit. After dawn, I will take you out of here to another space called ‘Kazt Town.'”

In the early morning.
Mrs. Caroline rose early. After washing up, she cooked breakfast for Chen Lun, then carried the plate upstairs.
But soon, her voice of surprise rang throughout the apartment.
“Oh! Tao Te! You’re finally awake?!”
“Good morning, Miss Caroline.”
Tao Te leaned against the doorframe, nervously straightening his old suit, attempting to sport what he thought was a charming smile.
If not for the slippers on his feet and his slightly disheveled and thinning hair, it would have seemed like a perfect “encounter.”
“Thank you for looking after me this past year, Caroline, I… I don’t know how to repay you.”
Deep affection was evident in Tao Te’s eyes, as he opened his mouth several times, unsure of how to begin.
Mrs. Caroline gently wiped the corner of her eyes and smiled lightly.
“What are you saying? If you hadn’t taken that attack for me back then, I might be dead… The one who should be grateful is me, Mr. Tao Te.”
Tao Te also smiled, his gaze lingering on Mrs. Caroline.
A short while later.
In the dining room on the first floor.
Mr. Tao Te endlessly narrated his marvelous journey in the Dream Realm to Mrs. Caroline, who just listened intently, occasionally covering her mouth in surprise and amazement.
Chen Lun quietly ate his breakfast, shaking his head to himself.
Mrs. Caroline, of course, did not take it seriously, but she cooperated well, playing the role of a qualified audience, which only made Mr. Tao Te’s desire to express himself even stronger.
The two had been neighbors for nearly a decade and had grown closer after sharing a life-and-death experience. It was evident that Mrs. Caroline’s feelings for Tao Te had undergone some subtle changes.
Chen Lun merely smiled, feeling that it was a good thing for Mrs. Caroline to find someone to love at her age.
“I’m very grateful to you, Little Jack. Although I do not know how you did it, I believe what Pompey said, and I trust you…”
At this moment, Mrs. Caroline turned her head and warmly refilled Chen Lun’s cup with floral tea, speaking affectionately.
Mr. Tao Te also looked at him, eyes brimming with gratitude. As someone who had experienced the Dream Realm firsthand, he knew that all that had happened there was not false. If Chen Lun had not saved him, he might still be trapped inside, his body in the real world forever asleep.
“Don’t mention it, Mrs. Caroline.”
Chen Lun sipped his floral tea, responding politely.
He glanced at the two elders, then slowly stood up.
“Now that Mr. Tao Te has awakened, it’s time for me to leave… Thank you for the breakfast and floral tea. I liked it very much.”
“You’re leaving already? Little Jack…”
Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tao Te quickly stood up, reluctantly trying to make them stay.
But Chen Lun declined their offer, citing the busy affairs of the Royal City.
Finally, the two saw Chen Lun to the apartment door.
“Little Jack, you must bring little Floey with you next time, you’re always welcome here.”
Mrs. Caroline tightly clutched Chen Lun’s hand.
“Of course.”
Chen Lun gently patted the back of Mrs. Caroline’s hand.
After that, he leaned on the Silver Staff, took off his black hat in a gentlemanly fashion, turned, waved his hand and left. Unnoticed by the two, a dozen tiny black figures popped out of the window on the second floor.
Following Chen Lun’s figure amidst Babu’s frightened whimpers.

Using Cloud Leap, Chen Lun brought Nada and a party of black cat warriors to the Royal City.
He returned to the Generous Church District in the Central District.
Without alarming anyone, he brought the black cats directly into the meeting room.
“My Lord, will we really see our peaceful homeland again as we remember it?”
Nada asked anxiously.
Chen Lun chuckled lightly and nodded.
“Of course, you can.”
He immediately took a seat in the high-backed chair and raised his hand toward the dozen black cats in front of him. Phantasmal green vines emerged from his sleeve, forming an ancient book “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure”, which then flipped its pages on its own, as if by an unseen wind.
Whoosh—
A white light suddenly appeared.
Chen Lun was somewhat surprised to find that unlike others who entered the Immortal Realm, the black cats disappeared from this world altogether, bodies and all.
‘Because they are creatures of the Dream Realm? Or is it because they are the physical originals that compose the Immortal Realm, that they disappeared in such a special way…?’
He then also entered the Immortal Realm.

Kazt Town.
The black cat Nada and its companions stood on the top of the White Tower Loft, their paws pressed tightly against the transparent crystalline walls, gazing blankly at the bustling streets below and the white cat residents visible everywhere.
High Priest Daye, in a lazy demeanor, was telling the white cats something in the square. The white cats looked on with longing and joy, creating a thriving atmosphere.
Troops of white cat guards, with swords and shields in hand, practiced on the ground below the red walls, following the one-eyed captain as he commanded their movements.
Nada couldn’t help but shed hot tears.
“Kazt… Kazt… is still here, our homeland and our loved ones are all still here, that’s wonderful.”
“Captain Nada, shall we go down and talk to them?”
An elderly black cat, wiping the corners of its eyes, asked softly.
Nada opened its mouth, then shook its head with resignation.
“There’s no need… It’s enough to see that our homeland is as before.”
At this moment, Chen Lun also spoke:
“Nada, in the dense forest outside of Kazt Town, there are still many members of the black cat tribe… among them is the younger version of you. Would you like to see?”
“Another me?!”
Nada was quite astonished.
“Yes, this space is known as ‘Wonderland of Dreams’, and can also be seen as a world facilitated by the Cat God Maggie… It replicates many scenes and beings from the Dream Realm, including you.”
Chen Lun slowly explained.
Nada and the black cats looked at each other, bewildered.
Before long, Nada suddenly thought of something and its expression drastically changed.
“My Lord! I remember now! Before we black cats left our homeland, High Priest Daye mentioned a prophecy from the Cat God… ‘The Chosen One will eventually come, bringing hope and saving Kazt and the cat tribe.'”
Nada waved its paw excitedly as it spoke:
“Perhaps this ‘Wonderland of Dreams’ that you speak of is where hope lies! Those tribe members who died in the Dream Realm, and even the destroyed Kazt Town, may take root and sprout anew here, continuing in another form! And perhaps, before long, be reborn!”
Chen Lun listened with a smile until Nada’s last words rang out, causing a sudden jolt inside him.
‘To be reborn, before long…’
