A series of notification windows popped up on the panel.
Although Chen Lun was surprised, he merely glanced over them without delving deeper at this moment.
He stared at the body of Philip Howard. After transforming completely into a white crystalline form, it shattered with a bang, scattering countless shimmering dust particles.
In this starry sky environment, it appeared extremely splendid.
All that remained at the original spot was an ordinary leather notebook and a rusted black cane.
Those were his leftover Mysterious Objects and weapon.
Oscar, the man in the black hat, walked over, bent down to pick up the notebook and the black cane, then casually inserted the green bookmark and the black bookmark into the notebook, turned around, and handed them all over.
Chen Lun was momentarily stunned.
When he looked up, he saw a face that shocked him immensely.
"Alec?!"
The other person smiled, removed the black top hat, revealing a handsome face, but his eyes no longer carried the usual lively look and were now extremely calm. In the center of those eyes, there floated a silver ring.
"Alec is merely a fictional character from my pen. I am unable to move conveniently in my real form, so I have to borrow his body to come here... Fortunately, this is the Dream Realm, entering it is not a difficult task."
Oscar said slowly.
He looked at the still stunned Chen Lun, and smiled, gesturing towards the items in his hand.
"These are your belongings, take them."
Chen Lun finally came to his senses, hurriedly took the notebook and cane, his mind still in a bit of a mess. He had not expected Alec to have such a close connection with Oscar, the Destiny Giant Serpent.
No wonder he had always felt that Alec was not simple, hiding a big secret, yet he couldn’t find any clue.
’A fictional character...’
Chen Lun muttered to himself.
This term, he had heard it again but still could not fully comprehend it.
"This is the ability of Sequence Two in the Path of Destiny, [Nameless], which can fabricate a non-existent destiny from nothing, turning fiction into reality."
Oscar seemed to have seen through his confusion, and with a mind-reading-like insight, just as the first time they met, he opened his mouth to answer his question.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and nodded in realization.
Immediately, he quietly activated [Multitasking], using the "Enlightening Skull" to think about many meaningless things in his mind, thereby disturbing most of his thoughts, leaving only a small space of sanity to hide his true thoughts.
The reason for doing this was that he himself possessed the [Mental Steal] skill and easily deduced that Oscar, as the Angel of Destiny, was probably much more proficient in mind reading than himself.
No one wants their thoughts to be read by others, even if that person is a non-hostile angel.
Although Chen Lun outwardly showed no unusual behavior, Oscar suddenly raised an eyebrow as if he had noticed these little actions of his.
Soon after, Oscar chuckled lightly.
"Don’t be so tense, Jack, even I can’t see too many of your thoughts..."
There was a hint of frustration in his tone.
However, despite what he said, Chen Lun merely kept a polite and respectful smile, without saying anything. Seemingly to cover up the awkwardness, Oscar coughed and pointed to the black hat in his hand, praising:
"This hat of yours is really nice, I’ve always worn it."
"As long as you like it, I have plenty more."
Chen Lun flicked his hand, producing a stack of black top hats stacked layer upon layer, looking like there were more than ten, all brand new and high-end of the same style. Then, with great courtesy and flawless demeanor, he handed them over with both hands.
"Uh, thanks..."
Oscar took the stack of black hats, his mouth twitching.
At this moment, Chen Lun finally bowed to him and Maggie with a hand on his chest and asked in a solemn voice:
"Your Majesties... I have a question."
Maggie was standing aside, dazed, seemingly somewhat distracted, while Oscar put away the hats and nodded, saying:
"Go ahead, Jack."
"What would have happened if I had lost this battle of destiny in the end?"
Chen Lun raised his eyelids, looking earnestly at Oscar.
The other person just shrugged.
"If you had lost, Philip Howard would have encountered an extremely coincidental accident at the very last moment before his promotion, and then failed..."
Chen Lun’s pupils shrank.
Oscar then looked towards the colorful lighthouse within the distant high walls and continued:
"And soon, he would be dragged to the ’Cosmic Lighthouse’, becoming the vessel of the Ring Duke’s Divine Nemesis, finding and killing the remnant shadow of the Mud Lord hiding inside, erasing its entire existence completely."
"That..."
Chen Lun slightly opened his mouth, momentarily filled with questions, not knowing what to say.
"This is his destiny, and also a contingency the Ring Duke set before his fall..."
Oscar’s eyes became serious.
He slowly turned his gaze back to Chen Lun and said in a deep voice:
"You should already be aware of the great deeds that the Ring Duke once accomplished... He once, in the Fourth Era, used the authority of chaos and slaughter of the Bone Burying Elder to ignite the internal strife within the Starry Sky God Sect, leading to the Anita civilization splitting into three great families: Sun, Moon, and Stars, which is historically referred to as the ’Time of Pearls’... and thereafter, designed and killed the out-of-control Death."
Chen Lun frowned and nodded.
Oscar paused for a moment and then continued:
"But what he accomplished was far more than that... After killing the Bone Burying Elder, the Ring Duke took advantage of the turmoil in the Netherworld and personally severely injured Lady Rose, expending most of his authority power to divine the hidden historical line of Mud Old Man, informing his friend Jing Yao, who then chased him with his subordinate angels... These events seemed extremely brief when spoken of, but in fact, lasted for tens of thousands of years. The worldly configuration changed dramatically, with the Starry Sky God Sect splitting, yet the Faith of the Three Gods - Sun, Moon, and Stars - has long spread extensively. The Ring Duke, due to excessive loss of great power, had most of his anchors destroyed and lacked the supplement of sanity, ultimately falling... However, before this, he even went to the Far East to seal the Eternal Sleeper."
Listening to Oscar’s narration, Chen Lun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
He knew the Ring Duke was very strong...
But this was too strong?
Almost single-handedly, he fought against the Seven Gods?!
"Your Majesty Oscar, why did the Ring Duke... why did he do this?"
Chen Lun asked, voicing his greatest doubt.
"Sorry, the true purpose of the Ring Duke, even I don’t know... I have speculated that perhaps it was hatred? Or maybe a struggle for faith? But now these seem to have no meaning at all..."
Oscar shook his head.
Chen Lun fell into silence.
Although the true purpose of the Ring Duke was unclear, he seemed to harbor intense murderous intent towards the Seven Gods other than Nature and Magic... Only now did he understand why Philip was once bewitched by "Teacher" Klaff, deeply trapped in the Dream Realm unable to escape... because Philip was destined from the beginning to be the Ring Duke’s backup, to fulfill the destiny of killing Mud Old Man’s remnant shadow.
"Then now, does this mean I have undone the Ring Duke’s arrangement?"
Chen Lun asked again.
Oscar stared at him, silent for a few seconds.
"Not really... because this is also one of the many paths of destiny."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Lun’s face changed slightly.
He immediately thought that he too, like Philip, might be part of the Ring Duke’s backup?
"You misunderstood, Jack."
Oscar raised his hand to explain.
"I meant that this is a situation the Ring Duke foresaw... so he once instructed me that when this Ring of Destiny is broken, then the person who broke it, which is you, will qualify to know all this, and also have the opportunity to choose." freēwēbnovel.com
"What opportunity?"
Chen Lun asked in a deep voice.
"Whether to complete the unfinished great deeds of the Ring Duke..."
Oscar’s eyes became fierce.
"Slay the Seven Gods!"
"?!"
Chen Lun involuntarily halted his breath.
His mind went blank instantly, what kind of deadly choice was this?
"Since this choice is given to you, you naturally have the right to refuse it... Of course, if you accept it, everything left by the Ring Duke will be yours, including my support... If you have the ambition to become a god, this is the unavoidable path, because the Seven Gods will never sit idly by and watch a new god appear on the Path of Destiny! They will try everything to stop you, even kill you!"
Oscar said coldly.
Chen Lun felt that he seemed to have arrived at a crucial crossroads, any choice would lead to a completely different future direction.
He suppressed the strong emotions surging in his heart.
His face changed several times, finally wanting to speak, but Oscar stopped him.
"Don’t rush to make a decision, Jack, you have enough time to consider... If you have thought it through at any time, you can enter Alec’s dream to find me."
Oscar said slowly.
Chen Lun looked at him for a while, then spat out a word.
"Alright."

Before the "Door of Slumber" leading to the Dream Realm.
Two tall and short, elegant and mysterious figures stood.
They were wearing dark green and dark red floral pleated long dresses, respectively.
"Why do you want me to let them in, Julia?"
The lady in the dark green dress sighed and said.
The girl in the dark red dress with exquisite double ponytails chuckled lightly and replied:
"Dominiya, Mud Old Man’s remnant shadow is hidden in the deepest part, no one wants to provoke him here... It would be better to make the situation even more chaotic, maybe it could kill that old guy."
"Heh... you think too simply, even if the True God of the Earth has lost most of his power, this remnant shadow is his foundation, not so easy to deal with... ’Veil Rope’ is not a simple honorific name, maybe he has some unknown power hidden in some historical line, waiting for foolish guys to take the bait..."
Sighing Lady mocked.
"Just a try, anyway, we won’t lose anything."
The Dim Lady said casually.
Sighing Lady seeing this, said nothing more, shook her head, and disappeared from the original place.
The remaining Dim Lady looked towards the Door of Slumber, her gaze seemingly crossed the endless space and looked deep into the Dream Realm.
She murmured in her heart:
"After thousands of years, you have also come here, brother."
