Chapter 155: Return

Before he knew it, another week or so had slipped away.

At the edge of the Dawn Source Clan, atop a mountain peak.

Gunie and Socrates·Cardritz stood at the summit.

In the past few days, Socrates·Cardritz had somehow learned methods related to Blood Dream and had begun making minor modifications to the Blood Dream Arena.

The application of various functions had gone without issue.

Even if problems arose, after contacting Gunie, Gunie could enter the Blood Dream Arena of the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent and make certain adjustments.

Overall, as Socrates·Cardritz delegated many permissions, the entire Blood Dream Arena was now under their clan's control and operation.

The next step would be gradual expansion and the admission of more transcendents.

As time passed, the Dawn Source Clan would use the Blood Dream Arena to continuously strengthen themselves, while Gunie would endlessly enjoy the offerings and the large amounts of blood crystals dropped there.

Once the Blood Dream Arena was on track, Gunie essentially had no need to stay.

Moreover, the energy of the teleportation mark within Gunie's body was weakening day by day, and he could not remain much longer.

Today was the day Gunie was to leave.

"Lord Gunie, are you departing for another transcendent world?" Socrates·Cardritz asked before his departure.

"Mm." Gunie nodded slightly.

"Among the stars, there are not a few transcendent worlds. The Nightmare Lord surely won't focus on just one."

"Then, in the future, can our transcendent world also communicate with Blood Dream Arenas of other transcendent worlds?" After some thought, Socrates·Cardritz asked softly, his tone unusually gentle.

Glancing briefly at Socrates·Cardritz, Gunie smiled lightly.

"Rest assured, the mere ability to communicate with the outside world is invaluable."

"Battles between geniuses from different transcendent worlds will also be very appealing."

"When cross-world communication becomes possible, the transcendents of your Holy Feather Dark Source World will have to go through designated teleportation arrays, which will also be your responsibility."

Socrates·Cardritz immediately broke into a smile. "Then I thank Lord Gunie."

"Communication between different transcendent worlds? Who knows when that will be."

Gunie sighed inwardly.

So far, the only other transcendent world Gunie had visited was this Holy Feather Dark Source Continent.

When he would go to a second transcendent world—who knew? Decades later? Centuries later?

Who the hell knew when.

However, Gunie already had a plan.

For the Blood Dream Arena, wherever he went, he would promote and build one.

Once its reputation grew large enough and the name of the Nightmare Lord spread far and wide, people would surely come seeking to make offerings to the Nightmare Lord, hoping to open a Blood Dream Arena and gain control.

Gunie might not have the ability to open a Blood Dream space remotely now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't in the future.

"In my spare time, I can create multiple Blood Dream Arenas."

"When I have the ability to deploy them, wherever offerings are made, I can just send one over."

"At the same time..." Gunie narrowed his eyes.

"After returning this time, I can also open a Blood Dream Arena on the Oya Continent as a vassal of the great existence."

"If the Blood Dream Arena truly flourishes on the Oya Continent, dealing with the Evil God Church and even the South will become much easier."

"After all, as soon as blood crystals come in, I'll immediately know whether someone is a follower of the evil gods or a foreign expert, and I can also hear their conversations within the Blood Dream space."

"As for the form in which the Blood Dream space is opened, or among whom it is first opened—that is worth careful consideration."

"Perhaps these pirates are a good example and starting point. Unfolding amidst chaos and disorder might attract many to enter."

"Then, the Transcendent Association will naturally get wind of it and follow suit."

"After all, the mere function of information transmission gives the Blood Dream Arena infinite value."

As he pondered, Gunie collected his thoughts.

"Senior Socrates·Cardritz, I take my leave." Gunie said.

"Travel safely, Lord Gunie. I hope the next time I see you, you will be a powerful Saint-level expert, or even a demigod or god."

"I will." Gunie nodded with a light smile.

As Gunie activated the teleportation mark within his body.

"Hum..."

Drawn by the teleportation light, Gunie vanished from the mountain peak, completely leaving the Holy Feather Dark Source large transcendent world.

...

Oya Continent.

Elemental Forbidden Land.

On the platform at the end of the dark, silent mountain stone steps.

As a dense white light bloomed, Gunie's figure materialized within it.

After a moment, the milky white light dissipated, and Gunie steadied himself and landed.

"Hoo... inhale..."

Taking a slight breath, feeling the familiar air and scent of the Oya Continent, a smile spread across Gunie's face.

"Though the Oya Continent is not as vast and immense as the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent, it feels very familiar and natural to me."

"The Oya Continent is, after all, the world that nurtured me."

Then, sensing something, Gunie looked toward a corner.

As black mist surged,

the Wraith Sea Elder, cloaked in a black robe, soon materialized.

"You're finally back. Any longer, and I'd have thought you were lost in a foreign world." The Wraith Sea Elder looked Gunie up and down before speaking with a smile.

Then the Wraith Sea Elder asked again, "So? How were the gains?"

"Substantial gains." Gunie also smiled.

After a brief pause to gather his thoughts, Gunie continued his account.

"The place I arrived at was a large transcendent world called Holy Feather Dark Source."

"Holy Feather Dark Source?" The Wraith Sea Elder pondered briefly, then shook his head.

"I have no recollection of that large transcendent world. It must be a distant one, or one in a remote location."

"A distant location? That's excellent." Gunie thought to himself.

The greater the distance, the wider the range covered by Gunie's [Blood Source · Great Snow Dream Curse].

Then Gunie continued, "As a large transcendent world, Holy Feather Dark Source has many powerful gods."

"It is said to have several powerful divine nations—that is, formidable powers built by many gods." Gunie said.

During this time, Gunie had learned a great deal about the various forces of the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent.

Using Socrates·Cardritz and the information at his disposal, Gunie had essentially gained an understanding of the major and minor powers of the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent.

"Having powerful nations built by gods, this Holy Feather Dark Source Continent is indeed a substantial large transcendent world, with the potential to become a vast top-tier transcendent world."

"I made contact with an expert with demigod-level strength. Within their clan, I claimed to be a vassal of a certain great being. At first, they didn't believe me, but after I demonstrated my strength and defeated all the geniuses below transcendent master level in their clan, they believed me and were willing to maintain a good relationship with me."

"In the following days, I negotiated with them and eventually obtained their clan's teleportation coordinates and several teleportation tokens to enter the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent."

After hearing Gunie's account, the Wraith Sea Elder nodded slightly, a smile blooming on his face. "You did very well."

"Senior Wraith Sea, how are the others?"

Gunie knew that besides himself, the others had also entered other trial grounds for training, as only by passing the trials could they proceed to the next round.

At Gunie's question, the smile on the Wraith Sea Elder's face faded slightly.

"The situation on your side is not optimistic."

Gunie frowned upon hearing this.
