I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 484 - 342: The Secrets of the Immortal Realm

Chapter 484: Chapter 342: The Secrets of the Immortal Realm

Just a few seconds had passed.

Chen Lun found that the Maggie Statue had replenished his Sanity by more than five hundred points, which meant that his observation of the “Inverted Giant Tree” was continuously depleting his Sanity… Those pieces of knowledge were overly complex, while also containing strong mystical pollution.

To describe it more vividly, it could be said that the “Inverted Giant Tree” was like an immense source of pollution, radiating contamination unceasingly, albeit the pollution was mixed with an extremely small portion of supernatural knowledge… And this portion of knowledge had almost exceeded Chen Lun’s capacity to bear.

After the massive amount of Sanity transmitted by the Maggie Statue canceled out the pollution, Chen Lun was able to retain that knowledge…

‘The complete supernatural knowledge of Sequence Six-Nature Faction’s “Berry Picker” is gathered?!’

After glancing at his panel’s record, Chen Lun felt astonished.

In just a few breaths, he had compiled a complete set of knowledge for Sequence Six!

Not only that, the Nature Faction’s “Sequence Nine-Wilderman”, “Sequence Eight-Healer”, and “Sequence Seven-Forest Ranger” were all thoroughly implanted, even though he already possessed them and they were redundant. But this did not prevent Chen Lun from feeling an even greater shock.

What on earth was that “Inverted Giant Tree”?!

Chen Lun felt that within the bizarre-patterned branches and leaves of that vast and boundless tree lurked something even more terrifying. His spiritual intuition ceaselessly warned him, do not get close!

Do not get close at any cost!

Something extremely horrifying would happen!

Chen Lun’s body stiffened for several seconds as his mind raced. Eventually, he took a deep breath. He did not rashly fly over but neither did he leave. Instead, he chose to continue staying in the distance, gazing at the “Inverted Giant Tree”…

Although the pollution was still radiating, knowledge continued to be infused along with it.

He wanted to observe for as long as possible and glimpse more knowledge!

Soon, the supernatural knowledge of “Sequence Five-Perfumer” of the Nature Faction began to emerge in his mind!

But at the same time, those strange giant birds circling around the “Inverted Giant Tree” spotted him. One of them let out a loud screech, issuing a bizarre howl that drew the attention of many giant birds.

Boom!

Dozens of giant birds, the size of a bungalow, sliced through layers of white fog, bringing with them a thunderous roar as they flew straight towards Chen Lun!

‘Extremely powerful contaminated creatures, with just their flesh bodies reaching the limit of mid-Sequence… I don’t have much time left.’

With just a brief glance, Chen Lun was able to gather some information about the birds using his Peek Life ability.

If there were only two or three, he was confident in dealing with them, but with dozens of them flying towards him, even if he were to transform into his “Pale Knight” form, he would likely be unable to defeat them…

Chen Lun planned to make the most of the time before the giant birds arrived to gaze as much as possible at the “Inverted Giant Tree”.

Another ten seconds went by.

Chen Lun’s heartbeat quickened, sweat uncontrollably breaking out on his forehead. He realized that the knowledge he could receive had reached its limit, and the weird birds had also arrived.

He could even see clearly that the birds had eight pairs of scarlet, profound eyes on their heads, filled with dense yellow threads, and carriage-sized, dark brown beaks with countless hook-shaped barbs standing erect.

The birds emitted an extremely strong stench, with yellowish-brown smoke rising which could be seen with the naked eye. Even a slight whiff made his head spin, and his Sanity plummeted again.

‘Return.’

Chen Lun was not greedy, suppressing the desire and longing for profound knowledge. He made a swift decision, communicated with the wooden hut in his mind, and chose to teleport.

Boom!

In an instant, his surroundings changed and just a second before the giant bird’s beak could reach him, he was back in the room of the hut.

“Ugh!”

Chen Lun knelt down beside the table on the spot, his head throbbing with a strong sense of nausea. He tightly gripped the edge of the table and retched a few times.

After resting for a few minutes, he felt somewhat better.

After catching his breath, Chen Lun crawled into bed and lay down, massaging his temples and starting to check his condition.

‘In that period of less than twenty seconds… the Maggie Statue’s accumulated over ten thousand Sanity points decreased a bit, consuming nearly two thousand points of reserved Sanity!’

Chen Lun inwardly clicked his tongue in wonder.

Soon, he felt less reluctant and distressed when he discovered that he had recorded all the complete supernatural knowledge of the Nature Faction, covering both low and mid-Sequences… “Sequence Five-Perfumer” was completely mastered.

Furthermore, he even glimpsed a part of the higher-tier knowledge of the Nature Faction!

‘”Sequence Four-Explorer”? It’s a pity it’s only about one-tenth complete…’

Chen Lun took a deep breath and slowly sat up from the bed.

His eyes fixated on the wooden footboard, somewhat in a daze, and he couldn’t help pondering the secrets hidden behind the Immortal Realm.

‘”Philip’s Dreamland Adventure” is a mythical book that replicates Philip’s encounters in the Dream Realm… This Immortal Realm that I am in is actually a replica of the Dream Realm. So what exactly did Philip encounter in the Dream Realm? He said that Gods reside in the Dream Realm, so could the “Inverted Giant Tree” above the Forest of Nature be the work of Deities? Or is that itself a God?’

Chen Lun felt somewhat groggy, his mind swirling with countless confusions.

Then another question suddenly came to mind.

A question he had never paid attention to before—

The book “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure” seemed too high-level, actually recording an entire real world, even including many extrinsic beings and high entities… such as Kazt Town, Arno, and the Cat God, etc.

It even replicated Arno and Maggie, two angels, and their thoughts were as free…

Could Philip really create all this by himself?

Chen Lun expressed extreme doubt.

He believed there were still real secrets behind this that he did not know about.

‘Moreover, since there’s an inverted giant tree above the Forest of Nature, could there be similar spectacles in other areas? Like the Pollution Tide that struck Kazt Town, the source of which comes from the Gloomy Plains…’

Chen Lun frowned slightly.

He made a reasonable conjecture and imagination—

‘The pollution pervading the Immortal Realm is very likely to come from such spectacles! The inverted giant tree above the Forest of Nature belongs to the Nature Faction, so there should also be a pollution source in the Gloomy Plains representing the conspiracy path… And the River of Blood and the Crystal Mountain Range, these two areas might also have pollution sources related to the Flesh and Magic paths!’

The more Chen Lun thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

So, after resting for a while, he teleported directly to the cabin in the Gloomy Plains.

He planned to search for himself and see if the facts were as he had speculated.

This time, Chen Lun did not choose to enter the underground through the mine but explored on the surface of the plains along a previously untraveled direction.

The area was filled with deep and dim, gray-black fog with extremely low visibility.

Chen Lun tried to fly, but even the high altitudes were filled with fog, making it very easy to lose direction. This forced him to proceed on foot and use Divination at regular intervals to correct his bearings.

Half an hour passed this way.

Chen Lun walked fast, equivalent to an ordinary person’s full sprint, and had now reached the depths of the Gloomy Plains. This was the opposite direction from the Abyss Rift and incredibly far from the River of Blood and Crystal Mountain Range.

Along the way, he encountered several attacks from polluted creatures.

All of them were the hunched humanoid forms known as “the Moonless Folk,” appearing in groups, at least seven or eight and at most dozens.

In their humanoid form, their strength was generally weak, relying mainly on Black Crystal Weapons to attack. Only when they transformed into werewolves did they possess stronger combat abilities… but Chen Lun often didn’t give them the chance to transform and would rip them apart with a Card Storm at first sight.

However, Chen Lun soon discovered the deeper he went, the stronger the “Moonless Folk” he encountered became, most completely losing their human form and maintaining the werewolf shape… Some had become deformed giant wolves, over three meters tall and five to six meters long, topped with several misshapen wolf heads or growing strange flesh tumors on their backs.

This made him even more certain he was approaching the pollution source.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a gust of wind came blowing.

It howled mournfully.

Chen Lun stopped in his tracks, and looking up, he saw the gray-black fog moving to either side, revealing a deformed wolf head the size of a carriage.

It had no eyes on its face, but small, dense black holes that kept opening and closing. Its mouth split open to the back of the head, exposing hundreds of unevenly sized fangs.

Chen Lun felt a powerful presence from this polluted creature, a threat far exceeding that of the “Barren Giant” and reaching the level of those strange birds in the sky above the Forest of Nature.

The deformed giant wolf seemed to have noticed Chen Lun, and all the black holes on its face suddenly opened wide. Then it tilted its head, staring fixedly at him!

Without hesitation, Chen Lun used the “Pale Hand.”

The swooshing of tearing through the air sounded as dozens of White Pythons took the lead, striking and biting fiercely on the giant wolf’s face.

Boom!!

The giant wolf let out a shrill scream, and drops of polluted blood rained down on Chen Lun’s head.

After gaining the upper hand initially, he did not stop. He maneuvered the snakes to intertwine like a battering ram, swinging and pounding heavily on the giant wolf’s head, neck, and flank.

Thump! Thump! Thump!!

With a series of heavy blows, the physically large giant wolf was thrown across the ground, plowing a long streak and stirring the surrounding fog with the blast of air.

Roar—

The giant wolf dragged its deformed body, rolled up from the ground, and furiously pounced again.

It seemed to feel no pain, completely unconcerned with its injuries.

In the whistling wind, the giant wolf suddenly vanished, and in the next second, it reappeared right below Chen Lun. It expanded the ground shadows and snapped at Chen Lun with a mouth that seemed like a well lined with jagged teeth.

Chen Lun ‘Blinked’ into the air, standing tall to avoid the attack, and looked down.

‘Traveling through shadows… possessing supernatural abilities of conspiracy, eh?’

He thought to himself.

The giant wolf pulled back into the shadow.

To Chen Lun’s surprise, in the next second, it emerged from the fog in mid-air and attacked again.

‘Interesting…’

Chen Lun’s brows lifted.
