Void Realm, Distant Realm, Gospel Dream Bubble Shadow.

"After creating the god, did they actually manage to seize the Thousand Wishes Inheritance and inherit the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes?"

In the café, the Ghost Prophet sat on a high stool, watching the barista slowly grind out a cup of rich, aromatic coffee emitting a purple mist.

Beside him stood a group of people with diverse appearances, some young and beautiful, some sunny and handsome, some cold and gloomy, but at this moment, they all gazed respectfully at the shoes of the Ghost Prophet.

"Guest, here is your hazel mushroom coffee."

The Ghost Prophet picked up the coffee cup and took a gentle sip. The coffee wasn't bitter at all; instead, it had a lingering taste of hazelnut and orange. But more than that, he focused on the changes within his soul.

He could discern that, after drinking this cup of coffee, his spirit was tinged with a faint dull silver. This change was so subtle that ordinary people couldn't distinguish it, only the Ghost Prophet, who retained the sense of the Demigod Realm of the Soul Faction, could perceive this slight difference.

Most mages viewed the Dream Bubble Shadow as a challenge for adventure, wholeheartedly exploring its attributes; even if someone showed interest in the dreams within the shadow, they stopped at a mere taste. Very few managed to uncover the true value of the Dream Bubble Shadow.

Only someone like the Ghost Prophet, who has lived through two — possibly three lifetimes with resurrection — could, through various secret insights, realize what they once missed.

While 'talent' is innately bestowed upon individuals, 'ability' can be influenced by the environment. This influence is not due to the allure of entertainment works, parental teachings, or survival pressure, but purely through eating!

In the Ghost Prophet's era, Technique Spirits were not the easy-to-nurture companions that simply ate silver coins; instead, each Technique Spirit was a finicky, cold-hearted Bone Dragon. Mages could hardly survive independently of organizations, relying on platforms to feed the diverse Technique Spirits.

The Ghost Prophet chose to engage in murder and arson, to eliminate the Heavenly Pride on one hand, and because he refused to join any organization, yet had to feed the Technique Spirits, he had no choice but to kill.

This feeding also had its complexities. Regular food only kept them fed, while high-grade ingredients allowed the Technique Spirits to evolve autonomously, similar to the essential materials of the Time Continent. Although modern mages only need to feed Technique Spirits with gold and silver coins, they have lost the inheritance regarding feeding Technique Spirits.

But even if Technique Spirits don't consume, the ingredients won't disappear, so naturally, mages began to eat the food of Technique Spirits, gradually viewing it as traditional delicacies.

Most mages don't think consuming Technique Spirit food has any impact because the influence takes years, even decades, to seep from the body into the soul, making the change hard to perceive directly.

What are Technique Spirits? They are life forms of knowledge.

If you consume a lot and for a long time the food of Technique Spirits, you'll find yourself particularly adept in certain magic, often able to deduce from one to another.

It's said that the mages' abilities have improved, but the Ghost Prophet believes it's because the mages' souls became "fragrant" from consuming too much relevant food, causing knowledge that likes this flavor to pursue them actively.

Yet each region's Technique Spirit food will be influenced by its mages. Simply put, if there are more Sword Masters in that region, it is easier for that area to produce swordsmanship food (originally intended to feed Technique Spirits). Thus, every region has different Technique Spirit food, which in turn affects the talents of mages in that area...

The specialty of Dream Bubble Shadow lies in allowing mages to conveniently consume Technique Spirit food from all regions, with direct soul savoring, bypassing the body's markup of a middleman, making absorption efficiency nearly a hundred or thousand times higher. If a mage persists in consuming each Dream Bubble Shadow, it would only take a few years to illuminate talents in all magic factions — of course, it's just talent, not reaching the level of innate ability.

This cup of hazel mushroom coffee dappling the Ghost Prophet's soul with dull silver has unlocked gun technique ability for him.

However, the Ghost Prophet wasn't aiming to illuminate abilities at this moment but to use the food to scout the magical levels of different regions.

"The quality of Technique Spirit food in various regions is much stronger than in my time... this is expected, considering how many years have passed, the development of magic is like sawing wood, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, but overall moving deeper."

"The explosive growth of Silver Mages in all nations also indicates the mage threshold is increasing."

"But the population ratios of Holy Domain, Gold, and Silver are very peculiar. In terms of population, the total number of Holy Sanctuary Mages should have long surpassed ten thousand... except for the Earth Abyss and Senluo being normal, other nations' Holy Domain and Gold are not matching the population base of Silver Mages. Could it be due to the lack of war?"

"The Six Nations..."

After pondering the gathered information and spare thoughts, the Ghost Prophet couldn't help but recall the four black-robed mages who created a new god in front of him.

After the black-robed mages drove the divine being and suddenly vanished in plain sight, a war erupted again in the Dream Heaven.

Though the Dream Entry Concept was no longer, the Nightmare Inheritance remained an extremely valuable treasure — not to mention the Nightmare also held a virtual godhood technique with over 50% resonance rate!

However, as the golden hall was about to fall, the Nightmare detonated the virtual godhood, creating an illegal storm!

Though all mages managed to exit the Dream Heaven in time, the illegal storm could destroy all law-formed objects, blowing the near-demolished Dream Heaven into fragmented pieces, leaving not a single fragment, completely dissipating in the Distant Realm.

Dream Heaven, Nightmare Inheritance, Ghost Inheritance... all gone.

This aligns perfectly with the nature of the Nightmare Angel: if he couldn't have it, then no one else could!

Yet in the long run, this is instead beneficial to the Void Realm.

Because the Dream Entry Concept is gone and the Dream Heaven merged with the Void Realm, so long as through hundreds or thousands of years of evolution, when a new Dream Entry Concept emerges, a new Dream Heaven — or other formings — will arise correspondingly.

As long as Dream Heaven hasn't been stolen into the Heavenly Kingdom, the Void Realm will inevitably 'rebirth' it.

Centuries later, mages will take for granted the existence of Dream Heaven within the Distant Realm — just like the Ghost Prophet never considered Dream Heaven would shatter at that time.

The period when the Dream Heaven was destroyed and hidden in the dream world was instead an anomaly in history; it's just that this period was so long that everyone began to regard it as the norm.

In this legacy battle, the black-robed sorcerer was undoubtedly the only winner. The Ghost Prophet thought that creating a new god and reaching Ruby Mountain on the Path of Origin was their entire gain, but little did he know this was just the insignificant first half—the Thousand Wishes Inheritance they snatched in the second half was far more crucial than divine beings!

Even the Ghost Prophet who had once been a demigod, felt heart-wrenching envy towards the opportunities of these folks—even if he were to live again, he had never experienced such a stormy succession of miraculous encounters!

This was like the Void Realm directly feeding them food!

Were those black-robed sorcerers really being people for the first time!? How could they act so ruthlessly!?

Calming his jealousy, the thoughts consumed away. The Ghost Prophet exhaled a cloud of foul air, turning to look at the Holy Sanctuary Mages behind him.

He drew a peculiar symbol in the air and said, "Have you seen this symbol?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Alright, paint this symbol on your clothes, and expose yourselves as frequently as possible in the next ten days, let as many people see this symbol, until someone contacts you, then return to the Void Realm to inform me."

The primary goal of the Ghost Prophet now was to acquire a body. This was easy for him; any of these Holy Domains could become his vessel, but once spiritual body merges, to switch bodies again would demand a high price—which he couldn't afford right now.

To control these Holy Domains to understand the situation, he had consumed several Source Crystals… his existence time had entered into a countdown.

Thus, he must choose a suitable country to hide.

Blood Moon, Gospel, Dazzling Star, Earth Abyss, Paradise, Senluo.

Although the environment of each country differs, none of them met the Ghost Prophet's desires. What he needed was an extremely chaotic environment; a historic moment like the war between six countries would be his best time to shine, yet now the six countries shielded from each other…

However, no need for distress, for his body had already made many preparations to plan for the resurrection, he first had to accept these legacies.

And his first trump card was the secret transaction with one of the Gods of Four Pillars. This symbol was the signal he sent for the transaction.

Indeed, the body's transaction order with the Pillar God would be settled upon resurrection in a few thousand years! This is why the Ghost Prophet doesn't fear the Pillar God reneging, the interest relationship is sturdier than any promise!

The Ghost Prophet finished his mushroom coffee, walked out of the café, squinting slightly against the blazing sunshine in the bubble.

Suddenly realizing he had forgotten something, he consumed spiritual soul to create several thoughts, the Ghost Prophet quickly recalled—Blank Concept!

Because he singularly held the Ghost Inheritance, the Blank Concept naturally belonged to him, etched by his Heart's Desire. Although just three-tenths of the Blank Concept, they already influenced the final new Law.

The ultimate Heart's Desire of the Ghost Prophet was obviously resurrection, but knowing the road being long, he also had a phased goal. If the Blank Concept truly listened to his phased goal, then the formed new Law would accelerate his resurrection speed.

Moreover, transforming into a wave sweeping across the world.

"Mmm..."

Sonia let out a soft humming noise, feeling her arm against the cold floor tiles, while her head lay on a pillow, she slowly opened her eyes preparing to let out a big yawn—

Oops!

She immediately shut her mouth, holding back the yawn.

Ash's sleeping face suddenly intruded into her view. Their proximity made Sonia feel that a mere forceful yawn would cause their noses to touch.

Her head was resting on Ash's arm, looking as if she was lying in his embrace. Although they had numerous intimate encounters before, this classic 'wake and see you' scene still made the stretching Sword Saint's heart race.

The Village Girl's eyes darted about, momentarily unable to recall why this was the situation, yet what was obvious was what she had to do—continue to feign sleep!

Feigning sleep was not enough; she adjusted her posture, snuggling inward for a more comfortable sleep, then closed her eyes. But soon she felt itchy inside, unable to suppress a smile, she slightly opened her eyes wanting to peek—

Hmm?

Unsure if it was an illusion, Sonia felt she saw something…

She stared at Ash for quite a while, after several seconds, she saw Ash's eyelashes twitch slightly.
