Chapter 2302: Chapter 2303: Great Cathedral

"This space is really strange; it feels like the more we advance, the more the era regresses."

Feng Yuan couldn’t help but say while looking at the floating objects around him. In this golden sea of light, no enemies have appeared, but they also haven’t found any useful clues.

If it weren’t for the changing floating objects, he wouldn’t even be sure if they were just marching in place.

"Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but there’s also a possibility it holds some special meaning."

Parallel World Qiu Han Mo spoke, his intuition telling him that the floating scenes were not so simple. Yet, for a moment, he couldn’t figure it out. Could it be a journey back to the Mythical Era?

What is the purpose of this? Could it be merely to become a god?

Unlike Qi Chen and the others, Qiu Han Mo and his team from the Parallel World weren’t very knowledgeable about the Mythical Era, so they could only speculate based on the names that it might have something to do with becoming divine. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I don’t know. Logically speaking, the darkness of the Devouring World should yearn for the future rather than the past. After all, it is not a life from the Mythical Era; it really is peculiar."

Feng Yuan spread his hands with a helpless expression. He really couldn’t guess what hidden truth lay within. The only certainty was that this bizarre space was an evolution of the darkness of the Devouring World.

As for the fact that the darkness of the Devouring World had already materialized, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised. He already knew that thing had transformed into a real living being for various reasons, but he hadn’t expected its dreamscape to be so peculiar.

A twisted and chaotic existence with a beautiful fairytale dreamscape—this strange contrast truly left people at a loss.

Suddenly, Qi Chen and the others from the Parallel World instructed their Beast Tamers to assume a combat stance. Feng Yuan looked forward in confusion; the shadows looked somewhat familiar, especially that dragon...

"Agunas? Is it you?"

Shouting out loud, Feng Yuan wondered if Agunas and the others had also been swept into this strange space.

Of course, Feng Yuan could extend his Divine Sense, and thus quickly discern whether it was Agunas and the others. However, Feng Yuan found it inconvenient and didn’t do so.

With Qi Chen and the others from the Parallel World watching warily, Agunas and its companions appeared in front of everyone. Qiu Han Mo from the Parallel World watched Agunas warily, saying

"Be careful, perhaps it’s a trap!"

"Hmm, it shouldn’t be possible. The darkness of the Devouring World is not capable of creating an illusion of the Divine Beasts. However, the fact that you appear here—is this a coincidental barrier or a destined encounter?"

Feng Yuan wasn’t very nervous because the aura of Agunas and its kind was unmistakable; the Divine Beasts inherently wield the Authority of the World. To mimic them, one would have to mimic the Authority of the World as well.

It’s not entirely impossible, but for the darkness of the Devouring World, it’s beyond its capabilities.

Besides, Feng Yuan also didn’t think the other side needed to do this. Whether or not they are companions can be confirmed with a brief interaction. Even if a false phantom is created, it wouldn’t fool anyone for long.

"You all... we’ve gathered together, does that mean, the thing is just ahead?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion and doubt but quickly came to realize something—if encountering Feng Yuan and the others here, eliminating the possibility that they’ve progressed faster, it would mean this path is nearing its end.

However, there’s still one issue: Agunas and its companions were clearly heading in the same direction as Feng Yuan and the others. Even if some events occurred in between, it shouldn’t have transformed into two parallel paths.

"I don’t know, but it seems there must be something ahead. Otherwise, the space wouldn’t be converging and twisting here."

Gazing at the colorful sea of light ahead, Feng Yuan said thoughtfully.

Surrounding that colorful sea of light, all sorts of strange objects floated by—scenery, adornments, and animals from the Mythical Era.

Those items gathered together to form a complete Mythical Era.

Tamur leaned towards Feng Yuan, saying

"This place is influenced by me; I can sense it. It’s just ahead, although... it’s a bit strange."

"A bit strange?"

Looking at Tamur in confusion, Feng Yuan couldn’t quite grasp what he meant. Unfortunately, Tamur himself couldn’t clearly articulate what that strange feeling was.

"Hmm, if that’s the case, let’s move on and see what’s really going on."

After thinking for a bit, Feng Yuan decided that staying put wasn’t a good choice. Whatever that thing was doing, they would ultimately have to face it.

The colorful sea of light wasn’t vast, and it didn’t take long for them to reach the end. At the far end, a giant, white cathedral stood silently under the blue sky. Beneath their feet were drifting white clouds over a blue sky, while overhead was a cerulean dome of water, even with waves rippling across its surface.

"The Great Cathedral? Those people probably haven’t seen it,"

Veronia spoke, glancing at Tamur while Agunas scrutinized Veronia with suspicion, asking

"What Great Cathedral? What have you Mitradite been up to in secret?"

"It’s unrelated to us Mitradite. The Great Cathedral was a place discussed and negotiated by the remaining kingdoms before the Great Destruction. The entire Great Cathedral was constructed with the collective efforts of all kingdoms."

"However, logically speaking, they shouldn’t know about the existence of the Great Cathedral."

The darkness of the Devouring World derived its understanding of the Mythical Era from the Mythological Remnants, yet the Mythological Remnants had no knowledge of the Great Cathedral’s existence.

After all, it was the gathering place for the leaders of numerous kingdoms. Although the Mythological Remnants had quite the reputation in that era, it was just that—nothing more.

In any case, the leaders of the countries would never recognize them, so they certainly wouldn’t have invited them to participate in any negotiations at the Great Cathedral.

This means those people had never seen the Great Cathedral, and yet now, a strange scene unfolds: despite never having seen it, a perfectly restored Great Cathedral appears in the dreamscape of the darkness of the Devouring World.

Where exactly is the problem coming from?

Could it be the information passed on by Tamur?

"This so-called Great Cathedral didn’t seem to appear recently. Altered objects would carry a special aura, whereas this Great Cathedral does not. Also, everything here seems to extend outward centered around the Great Cathedral, so this matter may not be that simple."

Feng Yuan wasn’t entirely clear on the subject of the Great Cathedral, but he was certain that the Mythological Remnants hadn’t pried into any information about it.

To them, a gathering of leaders from many countries had no connection to them at all.

If the darkness of the Devouring World’s understanding of the Great Cathedral wasn’t sourced from the Mythological Remnants, then from where?

At the very least, Feng Yuan could see that this colorful sea of light was the origin of the dreamscape, and simultaneously, the Great Cathedral was the origin of this colorful sea of light.

"Be careful, something’s not right here."

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and the others, reminding them before cautiously stepping forward onto the White Jade Stone Bridge.

In front of the Great Cathedral sat a small square, with a White Jade Stone Bridge connecting the square to the entrance where Feng Yuan and the others arrived, or rather, all outsiders would appear at this entrance.

"Ah, how nostalgic—those days at the Great Cathedral when everyone shirked responsibility,"

Veronia sighed in reminiscence, as among them, only she had this kind of feeling.

Agunas had perished early and did not experience this period, so it had no understanding of the Great Cathedral. Meanwhile, although Tamur knew nearly all the information from the Mythical Era, it was just knowledge to it.

For Tamur, the Great Cathedral was merely an inconspicuous part of its data—insufficiently significant to warrant attention, nor would it evoke any particular emotion.

"The interior of the Great Cathedral is quite complicated. If this thing perfectly restores the Great Cathedral, that would mean this affair isn’t as simple as it seems."

Veronia glanced at Tamur and cautioned that if the information wasn’t from Tamur, then where the darkness of the Devouring World had learned about the Great Cathedral deserves considerable thought.

This thing is not a terribly ordinary building because it was close to the Great Destruction. Therefore, Veronia could confirm that the populace from the Mythical Era would definitely have no access to information about the Great Cathedral, let alone understand its internal structure.

Even Veronia didn’t completely understand the interior layout of the Great Cathedral. If this Great Cathedral was restored very accurately, then there’s definitely a problem—besides the Mythological Remnants, there must be another party involved.

It’s even hard to say whether the birth of the darkness of the Devouring World was accidental or man-made.
