After figuring out the value of the city, Lofvis immediately had the notion of seizing it.
But he quickly suppressed this mischievous thought, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
The city boasted such high value, so how strong could its owner, Wen Wen, truly be?
Moreover, beyond this city, does he have other trump cards? Would such a person easily compromise under a slight threat, or was there another reason?
The panic in Lofvis's heart didn't show on his face as he followed Wen Wen to the end of the street, where a black door stood.
"Beyond the door is a transit station, and only through it can you reach the real world."
Wen Wen opened the black door, looked at Lofvis with a smile, and said, "Won't you consider living in that place you were just in? The mountains and waters there are beautiful, and you are the strongest; I kind of envy that life."
Lofvis snorted softly but still stepped through the black door. Now he just wanted to stay far away from Wen Wen; the other matters could wait until later when he became familiar enough with this world to ponder them.
Beyond the black door was a long corridor with dim lights, giving off a shadowy feeling.
To Lofvis, it was even more uncomfortable than the fake world because it felt like something evil was staring at him, making him feel incredibly threatened.
Along the sides of the corridor were metal bars, resembling cell doors, and inside each cell, there was ample space, so much so that even if Lofvis's true form sat inside, he wouldn't feel cramped.
Lofvis suddenly shook his head, "Why am I thinking of these ominous things? Only swine would be locked in such a place; being detained here is worse than death."
"But this place is so chilling; it gives me a bad feeling. I'd better leave quickly."
Wen Wen's pace was slow, as if showing Lofvis around the sanctuary's appearance. Close to the end, Lofvis's body suddenly stiffened.
Because, on both sides of him, the cells housed prisoners.
Prisoners with Star Realm God powers just like him!
One of them bore an incredibly evil aura, likely from the Ancestor of Evil Demons camp's Star Realm God.
The other was a pale young man, and Lofvis found him strangely familiar.
Lofvis touched his temple, a rune for memory sorting appeared, and he instantly remembered where he had seen the man before.
Over six thousand years ago, before igniting the divine fire, Lofvis experienced a nightmare from which waking seemed nearly impossible.
He was trapped in that nightmare, tormented for hundreds of years.
Ultimately, he broke the nightmare's rules, woke from the dream, and used the gains from that dream to ignite the divine fire and become a Star Realm God.
Once he became a Star Realm God, Lofvis sought to find the one who caused his nightmare to make them pay.
But upon inquiring and learning of that individual's identity, he chickened out.
That individual was a strong Spiritual Realm God, holding the Authority of Dreamland, known by some Star Realm Gods as the 'Illusion Dream Old Immortal'!
Illusion Dream Old Immortal is a Spiritual Realm God, how could he be imprisoned here!
Lofvis grasped the bars, looking at Yan Zu in disbelief, his perception shaken.
Yan Zu looked curiously at this pale giant; he didn't recall knowing this person, yet why did they appear as if they'd seen a ghost?
Throughout Yan Zu's long life, he had induced dreams in countless people, but remembering every dreamer was impossible.
Several black whips suddenly appeared, leaving welts on Yan Zu's body. As the whip struck Yan Zu, Lofvis's cheek twitched slightly.
With disheveled hair, looking somewhat dejected yet stylish, Mo Gong emerged from the darkness and landed a few more lashes on Egger.
Each time he came to inspect the prisoners, he would give them special attention; Egger had grown accustomed to it, and although Yan Zu initially felt humiliated, he also grew used to it. Latest content publıshed on N()velFire.net
If one displayed too much agony and rage, it would excite Mo Gong, leading to harsher treatment, making the whips feel almost pleasant.
"The Illusion Dream Old Immortal is a Spiritual Realm God, how could you..."
"How could we what?" Mo Gong glanced at Lofvis, asking inquisitively.
Lofvis quickly withered; he couldn't discern anything from Mo Gong's gaze but could at least confirm one thing: Mo Gong didn't regard him highly.
"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Lofvis took a step back, saying timidly.
Mo Gong pointed at Lofvis, "Boss, is this the new prisoner? So timid, it's no fun."
Wen Wen squinted, smiling, "You could first give him some boldness, and then enjoy him."
Hearing Wen Wen and Mo Gong's words, Lofvis's legs grew weak. For some reason, he felt a natural fear toward Mo Gong.
Wen Wen understood this well; had he not inherited the sanctuary, he might fear Mo Gong too.
Never mind that Mo Gong was only a Star Realm God now, but he had once been a heavenly god, and who knew if he retained any heavenly god powers.
Furthermore, with the sanctuary's power gradually restoring, Wen Wen wasn't sure of Mo Gong's current recovered strength.
"Didn't you say I could go to the outside world?"
Lofvis leaned against the bars, breathing heavily as he asked Wen Wen.
Wen Wen dug in his nose, "Whatever I say, you believe; no wonder you always get bullied in the Inner World."
Lofvis displayed a terrified expression as countless runes appeared, and his figure instantly vanished.
He had no will to fight; he only wished to leave this place.
However, the despairing event occurred; no matter how he walked, he couldn't reach the end. Here seemed to be in a loop, with only a vast space and ten huge cells.
Besides that, there was nothing.
Wen Wen and Mo Gong didn't even glance at Lofvis but chatted on the side.
"I arranged a place for this guy, but he wasn't satisfied and insisted on coming out, so I had to send him here to you. Hope it's not troublesome."
Mo Gong's handsome face revealed an evil smile, his body emitting demonic aura.
"Of course not, having another Star Realm God as a 'pillar' will only unleash more power; I'm glad about it."
"Pillar..." Lofvis looked at Egger and Yan Zu's tragic state, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, "Wait, I'm willing to go back, don't make me a pillar!"
Wen Wen and Mo Gong both looked at Lofvis, revealing sinister smiles, "Wanna go back? It's not that easy now."
