The expression on Rhodes's face remained unchanged, but there was a huge wave of panic in his heart.

After so many things, the previous Lord of Dreams, Hegeor, is still here.

The most amazing thing is that it actually entered the wasteland of souls.

This is the inside of the obelisk, the most secret place in the dream.

Rhodes did not completely believe the figure in front of him. He clearly remembered the last incident. Amon used the evil thoughts buried deep in the remnant soul of Hegeol to try to corrode his soul and pollute the dream.

If his will were not as strong as steel, Amon would have succeeded.

After killing the evil thoughts, Hegeol's name on the tombstone completely turned black, and his name was burning as if on fire. It was as if after this, he was truly recognized by the dream and became a

The complete master of dreams.

Therefore, the list of "Dream Apostles" appeared behind the tombstone, and there was a pile of ashes of corpses under the tombstone.

Rhodes remembered putting it into the storage room in the House of God. As soon as he thought about it, the feedback from the dream came with him. This also made Rhodes breathe a sigh of relief - when he was invaded by evil thoughts, he could not feel the dream at all.

of.

In the storage room, various materials are solidified in a special time and space without any changes, except for the ashes!

Sure enough!

This shadow is related to Hegeal.

Rhodes looked at him warily, ready to fight at any time. Although Amon had been eaten, there was no guarantee that there would be no residue. The sense of security in front of him might just be a cover.

The figure noticed his vigilance, but didn't care.

"I understand your vigilance."

He said in a calm tone.

"This is my mistake. Due to my failure, I was greatly polluted before my death. My body was desecrated, and my soul was twisted and cursed. The ancient evil thoughts wanted to completely destroy me and me through this method.

Dream... I'm sorry, I have to use the word dream. This is the definition of you, the new Lord of Dreams."

Rhodes felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Is the dream... defined by me?"

"Yes, the dream is meaningful only if the master exists. Without the master, the dream is just a concept, just like the laws and rules in the sea of ​​sources... Oh, you call it the source. This is why they plotted against me.

, but it does not cause pollution to the dream."

Rhodes was stunned: "What do you mean?"

The figure showed a faint smile.

"Remember the moment you got the dream? Your brain felt like it was smashed with a hammer."

Rhodes frowned and immediately remembered.

"Isn't that because you... are crazy and attacking the obelisk?"

The figure said without hesitation:

"Yes, that is my source soul that has turned black and gone crazy. When there is no master, the time in the dream will not pass. The dream will not be observed, cannot be touched, has no entity, just like the law of the source.

It’s a certain kind of regular pattern... The moment you become its master, everything starts again.”

He paused.

"Start when I die."

Rhodes hesitated and asked: "Then why..."

The figure said calmly:

"You threw my soul into the Red Star, the Devourer of Darkness, which is the core of the dream and our origin. The moment you became the master of the dream, you also became the Devourer of Darkness, the representative of the Red Star.

”

"When the owner of the dream dies, he will return to the stars... until the next owner appears."

"It's just because my death is too special that the process has some twists and turns... and therefore hidden dangers are laid. Evil thoughts are hidden in the stars through my soul, trying to attack you and occupy you at the right time.

body and tamper with your spirit, thereby achieving the purpose of usurping dreams and annihilating 'human life'."

The figure looked at him, the eyes under the shadow were full of complex emotions and a little surprised.

"But you, the stranger Rhodes, shattered his conspiracy, defeated his terrible evil thoughts, and did not let him succeed."

"Your will is amazing. I couldn't understand why you became the master of the dream, but at that moment, I knew that there is a reason why the dream chooses any master."

It wasn't until this moment that Rhodes understood the whole story. While feeling lucky, he couldn't help but sigh at the magic of fate, and said humbly: "Hahaha, yes, you are right."

"Of course."

The figure's smile turned bitter.

"I am an exception. A pathetic loser like me should be permanently removed from the dream world and not qualified to appear on the tombstone."

Rhodes sympathized with Hegeol's experience, but he couldn't think of words to comfort him, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

But the figure did not continue speaking, and his expression became serious.

"What I want to tell you now is a very important matter. Adolis and Avro failed to think of it in time and tell you about it. This was a serious dereliction of duty on their part. If they had done so before, they would have been seriously injured.

punishment, but now, this is your power."

He paused and continued.

"I just said that the Dark Devourer of the Red Star is the core of dreams and our true nature. This is an existence beyond the soul."

"Under normal conditions, its power should be passed down from generation to generation."

"But due to my special situation, before I died, I separated it and threw it out of the dream... To put it simply, the current red star has no soul."

Rhodes suddenly understood.

"No wonder the star energy provided by the Dark Devourer is so little. It was only 200 before quantification, and only 6,000 after quantification."

The figure nodded and continued.

"So, when my source soul returned to the stars, it immediately reached a critical state, but it did not provide star energy."

"Even if you complete the quantification, it doesn't have much energy, let alone shows its true ability."

"Not only that, because it is your destiny, your body and soul are actually very weak, so your growth will be so slow and your growth path will be so tortuous. This is very rare among the dream masters in the past.

of."

Rhodes scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"You mean, if everything goes normally, I will become very strong in the beginning?"

The figure replied:

"Yes, you will get a very strong star and gain all its abilities after completing the quantization. You will quickly become a strong man in this human kingdom and grow at an amazing speed, not so slowly.

Snail walking."

The moment he heard this answer, Rhodes felt as if his five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. If this could really be the case, then his growth would not have had so many twists and turns, and he would not have a black rice bucket like the King of Sewers.

A terrible title.

Rhodes suppressed the pain in his heart and asked.

"Then where should I find the soul of the Dark Devourer?"

The figure said cautiously.

"I threw it into the Sea of ​​Chaos... This is one of the areas in the high-level spiritual world. If I guessed correctly, Asmons, the King of the Deep Sea, swallowed it. You can kill it to take back this power.

”

Rhodes' eyes widened.

"Sea of ​​Chaos? King of the Deep Sea Asmons?"

The figure gave him a strange look.

"Yes...have you met it?"

Rhodes swallowed.

No wonder this guy always chases him and the dream world, even running into the material world. It turns out that he smells something similar to his devouring power.

"Well... I have encountered it twice. The last time it broke through the barriers of space and came to the ancient city of Sagus, it also took away my Divine Sword of Destiny."

There was a hint of surprise in the figure's eyes.

"The Sword of Destiny?"

Rhodes briefly recounted what happened in the ancient city of Sagus, including the effects of the past he had seen.

The figure fell into a long silence. After a long time, he sighed.

"It turns out that the God of Destiny and the God of Flesh and Rebirth still have such a past."

"That was the ancient times, the era of gods. The God of Destiny was able to meet such a distant future. He did not give the relic to me, or the previous Lords of Dreams, but directly chose you. One of them must be

There is some reason."
