Chapter 686: Awakening of the Divine Being and the Wish Pool


"We actually slept here for a whole day and night..."

As the witch sat up and yawned wondrously, waking everyone up, Ash and Sonia had no choice but to obediently wake up.

However, when they woke, they saw Weiser lying beside them, with a strange and unplaceable smile at the corner of her mouth, making both of them anxious.

Ash had to immediately change the subject: "Is this the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes? Why is it so... so..."

"Desolate," Weiser declared precisely.

Named as a 'kingdom,' the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes is naturally vast and boundless. The four of them stood in a palace on a high slope, and no matter how they looked, they couldn't see the edge of the horizon.

But all they saw was cracked barren land. If it were just this, it would be bearable, but they could see several disasters lurking in the distance, causing the earth to wail and the sky to change colors!

The sky was divided into three colors, and the junction was exactly where their palace was. Under the red sky was a sea of blood with corpse maggots, producing a vast number of blood flies every minute; under the blue sky, there was a transparent azure lake, but everything outside the lake was in black, white, and grey tones; under the yellow sky, a massive mushroom cloud would explode every ten seconds, producing melting light that burned everything, followed by shock waves that flattened everything!

Yet, these disasters were wrapped in a layer of soft white light, only harming the surrounding area, unable to affect other places in the kingdom.

But anyway, this was too far from the Dream Heaven they imagined, and they even doubted if they were still dreaming.

After Ash and the others picked up the wish heart, they were transported to the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes, and then everyone immediately fell down into sleep.

They were exhausted.

Logically, they shouldn't sleep, since entering the Void Realm was supposed to substitute sleep. But don't forget, not only did they experience high-intensity divine status work for two consecutive days, but they were also forcibly replenished with spirit by miracles, and had to plan an escape under the eyes of nightmares... both physiologically and psychologically, they were put to a tough test.

Immediately after arriving at Ruby Mountain, they surprisingly captured the Thousand Wishes Inheritance by chance, inheriting a kingdom even demigods longed for!

Faced with such dramatic changes in life, it was already a testament to their formidable psychological resilience that they didn't go crazy on the spot. Falling asleep immediately after entering the Heavenly Kingdom of Thousand Wishes might be the result of their stress response mechanisms working.

However, the most likely reason was the influence of the warm white light pool around them.

Ash and the others turned their heads, looking at the only building in the kingdom that made them feel they had profited immensely.

The Wish Pool!

There's no water in the Wish Pool, only an extremely dense accumulation of Wish Light, like milk squeezed inside, making people want to soak in it. The pool is not empty, with many Technique Spirits frolicking inside, and a few wish hearts floating up and down.

The five-tailed little fox spirit was soaking in the Wish Pool at that moment, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, surrounded by other Technique Spirits who formed a life-saving circle, allowing it to float around lazily and comfortably.

Noticing the masters' gaze, the little fox spirit leaped lightly to the edge of the pool, then jumped up to hug everyone separately, excitedly shouting, "Masters, you finally woke up!"

Finally, the little fox spirit was embraced in Diya's arms—truthfully everyone wanted to hug it, but Diya directly held it and wouldn't let go—and the four gathered around to summarize their gains and losses.

"I feel like we've gained so much I don't know where to start..." Ash was experiencing this kind of sweet distress for the first time, looking at the little fox spirit and asked, "Firstly—what's your name?"

Until now, they did not know what kind of divine being they had created.

The Faded Dream was just a phenomenon, not the name of a divine being, but through the Faded Dream, they vaguely guessed the true identity of the little fox spirit.

Sure enough, the little fox spirit tilted its head as if they asked a very strange question: "Dream-Awakened's name is Dream-Awakened!"

Its foundation is the Dream Entry Concept, capable of allowing them to escape the angel's dream, so it's evidently a divine being that awakens people from dreams.

However, hearing the little fox spirit's answer, everyone couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.

Undoubtedly, the little fox spirit is the nemesis of all dream miracles, like 'soul-bound,' 'slept with other dreams,' 'dreams come true'—Ash can instantly break these miracle effects as long as he activates the little fox spirit.

But for Ash and the others, they scarcely encountered enemies specializing in the Dream School. If they were proficient in the Dream School, they might even use the little fox spirit to study miracles, but whether it's ghost inheritance or nightmare inheritance, they keep the Dream School tightly hidden, unable to get in even at the entry level!

However, the little fox spirit is far from being without value; on the contrary, its true value is absurdly great, potentially overturning the entire mage world!

"Little Dream," Diya rubbed the little fox spirit's ears, loving the feel: "If a Holy Sanctuary Mage casts in the Distant Realm, can you make their real body wake from the Distant Realm's dream too?"

The little fox spirit nibbled its thumb, uncertainly: "Probably? But as long as they're dreaming, Dream-Awakened can wake them up!"

The four glanced at each other, Sonia's eyes filled with panic, Diya's with contemplation, Weiser remained expressionless, while Ash recalled something and his face lit up with joy.

"But."

The little fox spirit looked at them, puzzled: "Master, why are you separated now... Dream-Awakened only recognizes you when you are united!"

"It's Soul Fusion, not physical fusion!" Ash corrected.

"Is it different?" The little fox spirit was confused.

"Do all four need to be together?" Sonia asked: "Can't we do it alone?"

The little fox spirit shook its head: "Dream-Awakened is principled, never serving strangers—even unfamiliar masters are not allowed!"

"Which means, for now, we can't use Dream-Awakened Deity on reality others." Weiser said: "If we want to use Dream-Awakened Deity on other people in reality, we must take Dream-Awakened out, but we must do Soul Fusion to get Dream-Awakened Deity's recognition, and yet Soul Fusion can only happen in the Void Realm... this puzzle has no solution, it's a deadlock, at least for now."

Weiser shrugged: "If a single person completed the ritual process, this issue wouldn't exist, but in that environment, the Technique Spirit material has to be distributed among us, and Ash is responsible for Soul Fusion, while Sword Witch you must endure Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon Harmony Prohibition, and I bear the Dream Entry Concept… we can only join forces to create Dream-Awakened Deity."

"But possibly because of this, we don't seem to have had our personalities affected by Dream-Awakened Deity." Weiser looked at the little fox spirit: "I've heard mortals controlling divine beings often have their wills altered or personalities modified by their divine beings; we four jointly control the divine being, which might have diluted Dream-Awakened's influence."

Diya supplemented: "Also, maybe because Little Dream is newly born, too young, not mature enough to affect us yet."

The witch had quite a say on this topic, as the Gospel deity within her had existed for at least a thousand years, with all its hosts over the generations forming extremely similar personalities. That's why she adored the little fox spirit so much, aside from its cuteness, it was so gentle and quiet, unlike the fearsome old crone Gospel!

"Wait." Sonia suddenly noticed something: "Then what will happen to Little Dream when we return to reality?"

"I can stay here!" The little fox spirit was eager: "There's no divine being here, I can manage the Wish Pool for you!"

"Manage the Wish Pool?" Everyone was stunned.

The little fox spirit nodded emphatically, freeing itself from Diya's embrace, lying at the pool edge, dipping its little feet wrapped in white silk into the pool, attracting a swarm of Technique Spirits to crowd around.

"If I can manage the Wish Pool, Dream-Awakened feels it can grow up faster!" The little fox spirit thought again, lowering its head and somewhat shyly said: "But managing the Wish Pool, Dream-Awakened seems to only know a little, possibly increasing production by 20%... 25%! And there might be new special materials produced! Dream-Awakened will work hard!"

The little fox spirit and the Wish Pool could influence each other, which Ash and the others already suspected, since Dream-Awakened Deity is part of the Dream School, and the Dream School consists of both Soul Faction and Spirit Faction as Level 2 magic, while the Wish Pool belongs to the Spirit Faction and Fate Faction woven into the World Secret Domain... with the Spirit Faction as the crossover point, the little fox spirit's fondness for playing in the Wish Pool wasn't surprising.

But they didn't anticipate that the little fox spirit would actively suggest managing the Wish Pool, even declaring it could increase its yield by 25%!

They could hear the desire in the little fox spirit's words, obviously managing the Wish Pool was greatly beneficial to it too!

They knew that demigods and Divine Lords valued the World Secret Domain highly, like Dream Heaven, and the lost Six Colors from the Time Continent; they also knew that demigods and Divine Lords prized divine beings greatly, such as the Nightmare Angel craving the Nightmare God Spirits for countless years, and the Senluo Wasteland's peculiar social environment enabling divine beings to ascend...

But they didn't realize that divine beings and the World Secret Domain could have such a relationship!

In a trance, it was as if they could see the veil jointly woven by demigods and Divine Lords, quietly being lifted a bit by them at this moment.
