Chapter 3547 The Story in the Dream
“I don’t understand either. Maybe it’s related to the power I have to become a god, or maybe it’s something else. I’ve been searching for answers, but even Luvia’s divination couldn’t give me a result.”
As Xia De answered, the purple-eyed girl on his left leaned her head against Xia De's shoulder, pondering why Xia De had used the description "transformed into a god" instead of "summoned a god."
Such nights are also very pleasant for them:
"There will always be an answer. Tonight is for relaxation, so don't think about these worries. Shad, you've been frowning ever since you came back from the doctor. Put your worries aside for now, Dorothy and I will be with you."
Shad nodded slightly, looking up at the starry sky above. The hot spring itself was formed by the debris of the crashing "Mad Moon," and perhaps because of the moon's power, no branches extended above it.
"Yes, I'm here to relax tonight."
He temporarily set aside his worries and raised both arms to embrace his beloved girls:
“I’ve been feeling unwell these past few days, and I’ve missed you all very much.”
"Don't you have Jialina and the others?"
"But does that have to do with me missing you?"
"Our knight really does want everything."
Luvia smiled and reminded him again:
"Dorothy, we have another task tonight. Shad's perfume vials are empty at the House of the Fake People, and we're responsible for refilling them."
Dorothy then smiled and said:
"Fill it up? It might be a bit difficult for just the two of us."
The girl with purple eyes raised an eyebrow and squeezed in front of Xia De, who felt as if he were holding a smooth, large fish.
“Don’t forget, Shad’s body is very ‘well-nourished’ right now. Don’t underestimate yourself, Dorothy. With Lacey on the team, the three of us sisters working together might just be able to defeat our knight. It’s getting late, let’s begin now. Tell Lacey to be ready to come and help at any time.”
“Lascia was prepared long ago. But I want to make it clear that I will not drink Shad’s blood.”
Dorothy said, her face gradually moving closer to Shad until the gentle touch overwhelmed him.
Luvia smiled and reminded him:
“I never said we were going to suck blood.”
The moonlight was perfect. The cat opened one eye and glanced at Shad, then covered its eye with its tail to "turn off the light" for itself.
Of course, it turned out that Shad's improved nutrition did not change the fact that he was still "stronger" than the girls.
(Mia is running.)
In the dead of night, when Shad saw the dilapidated state of his home, he knew he had appeared in Luvia's dream again:
"After all, it's a new month."
In reality, they had already returned home and were sleeping soundly. Xia De walked up to the rooftop on the creaking wooden floor. Under the dim sky, the long-haired girl turned around, looked at him, and opened her arms.
The two knew what the other was thinking without even having to communicate. While this was partly due to the fact that this was a dream world, Xia De believed it was more because they were already in sync.
"However, has Luvia's soul become more complete?"
A lot had happened in the past month, and Shad had many questions he wanted to ask, but once he actually sat down on the roof with Luvia in his arms, he didn't have as many things to say.
Together they gazed at the black sun. Time stretched out in the dream world, and Shad didn't need to travel as fast as in the real world; they had plenty of time to squander.
After a long while, it was the long-haired girl who started the conversation first:
“I have also been inside the House of the False Man and have seen the pool of blood.”
Shad stroked her long hair with his hand:
"I was lured into a trap set by the Bloodthirsty Ones. Did you also encounter the Bloodthirsty Ones in your past life?"
"Of course not. The Bloodthirsty Ones of the past would never dare to appear before me. The false men in the stories I've experienced also appeared in Tobesk, and the Church usually suffers great losses in my stories, unlike now, when it can still maintain order in the material world. Therefore, they are not capable of quickly expelling the false men from Tobesk."
So most of the time I'm the one dealing with the fake people. Of course, I'm not as kind as you are; I actively enter the "House of Fake People" to peel away that degenerated eldest son's flesh and blood.
Her voice was very soft:
"Although it's degenerated flesh and blood, it's still a very valuable material. Leaving aside its intrinsic value, even if consumed as a disposable item, it's crucial for handling many difficult situations. For example, the arrival of the [Lord of the Blood Feast] in Topsk, the vampire uprising in Moon Bay City, and the stories we create."
Shad didn't ask her what she wanted to do with the material; the story he was creating hadn't even begun, and he didn't need to know so much.
"Then can you answer one of my questions? Where does that noble destiny come from?"
He grasped Luvia's right hand with his own, and the same purple mark appeared on the back of both their hands.
The long-haired girl then smiled and said:
“This is not an outsider; it is my own. The Staff of Yggdrasil, Noble Destiny—these are among the few things I can pass on to the next Sixth Age. However, the transmission of Noble Destiny does not require such complicated means—I was born noble.”
However, she knew exactly what Shad wanted to ask:
"The God of Misfortune wants to see you, but it's not because of this, at least not solely because of this. There must be another reason. A noble destiny is unique, and to share it with you is already because you are special. This is actually a power that even the chosen ones of destiny cannot possess. After all, the chosen ones are merely the protagonists on the stage of this era, but I, I traverse the spacetime of the Sixth Era, I am a being at a higher level than them."
"Is it related to the ancient gods?"
When asked, the long-haired girl nodded gently:
"Yes, this mark symbolizes that I defeated that ancient god, and I truly broke free from fate. Reversing time and restarting an era—I can no longer say for sure whether this path is the right one, but it has certainly broken all inevitability and arrangement."
I proved one thing: all destinies can actually be reversed. Even my own destiny could be reversed.
She turned to look at Xia De:
"You said you came because of me, and that you changed my destiny. So in the end, isn't it me who caused all of this?"
Shad continued to laugh:
"Yes, so you are amazing, truly amazing."
He kissed the long-haired girl on the cheek, which she found quite displeasing.
"Is that all?"
So he gave her an even more passionate kiss, and the lonely girl in her dream was finally somewhat satisfied:
"I can't interfere in matters concerning the gods for the time being. I don't know what the God of Misfortune is planning to do either. You need to be careful."
"Yes, I will prepare actively. Actually, there's something else. Do you know about the 'Demon King'?"
The purple eyes were a bit of a surprise:
Why ask that? It's not over yet!
It seems the doctor was right; the most ancient evil spirit, the original evil spirit, will not appear until the very end.
"I just want to understand something about it. What exactly is it? Is it something born from the sins of intelligent beings, like desire?"
The long-haired girl hesitated, carefully considering how to express herself; this was not an easy question to answer.
"After the original demon was sealed away, the more people who learned its truth, the more powerful it became to break free of its seal. I cannot answer this question directly, but I can tell you that desire and the so-called 'King of Demons' are two completely different things."
This was completely unexpected by Xia De:
"I thought they were all related to sin."
"Their power is all related to sin, but their origins are completely different. Your summary of the mermaid is correct; she was born from the most primal desires of intelligent life, which is desire itself. But the primordial demon..."
Luvia thought for a long time but finally shook her head:
"That's all I can say for now, I can't say any more. But you don't need to worry about that now, Dr. Schneider is very calm, and the Primal Demon won't appear until the very end."
So Shad recounted his dream and conversation with the doctor that night, and Luvia wasn't surprised at all:
"So that's what you're worried about. It's alright, the weapon's demon won't succeed. I can't say why it won't succeed, but don't worry."
All I can say is that it does have a few drops of blood on its hand, which might cause you some trouble; also, it seems the doctor doesn't know the specific origins of Blackhand-Teefron, which is good, it shows the doctor is in good spirits. It is actually the weapon of the primordial demon we were just discussing, the weapon that the oldest evil spirits used to kill.
But as you know, most evil spirits and demons prefer scheming and devising wicked plans to violent killing. So even though it was once a weapon of ancient demons, its power wasn't the strongest among the ancient evil spirits.
In the Sixth Age, without Shad, the demons that always appear will inevitably appear as well. After all, the arrival of outsiders does not affect the plans that the demons have been weaving since long ago.
Therefore, Luvia in her past lives must have encountered demons many times, but she never mentioned these things to Shad in their past interactions. This wasn't because Luvia forgot, but rather because she completely disregarded such enemies.
"They'll always appear, just like every city has hotels, restaurants, libraries, and city halls."
"So how did you deal with those demons? I know that your relationship with the doctor in your past life wasn't as good as mine is now. So did you obtain the Night Watch in Mount Sikar and then use that sword to fight the ancient evil spirits all by yourself?"
