Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 578 The Beginning of the Conflict

Truman's human body simply collapsed, unable to withstand such immense power.

But in the next instant, Truman's mythical creature form condensed again within the dreamlike phosphorescence, only this time the mythical creature form was somewhat different.

Strange runes spread across those dreamlike tentacles. These runes do not belong to the dream world and are all different. Their origin lies in the "source essence" aura that permeates the underworld.

The tentacles were involuntarily moving closer to those "sources of the Dao," as if they wanted to "devour" them.

"Reversing the Heavenly Gang is..." Chu Men thought to himself, trying to find humor in his predicament. He never expected that in the end, he would develop a craving for these "Sources of the Dao." This instinctive craving was almost unbearable for him, and he had to suppress it with great difficulty.

The key to the "First Dream" is actually recognizing who the protagonist of the "First Creator's" dream is, and that this protagonist possesses everything the "First Creator" desires—stability, purity, and peace.

This is Truman today.

And this most important point, Chick has already helped Truman accomplish, so everything afterward is a natural progression.

Of course, the true meaning of "The First Dream" does not mean that Truman is the original creator. That would require him to consume all the "Source Matter" and merge the personalities of "God" and "Lord of Mysteries".

These "source elements" and personalities are like anchor points that can awaken the beginning, shatter the dream of the original creator, and awaken Him.

Paradoxically, if Truman were to consume these "source substances," he would no longer be a pure dream. Truman in that state would be no different from the original creator who was forced to split apart after creation.

It can only be said that the original Creator was a collection of contradictory concepts, and all kinds of irrationality would seem very reasonable in Him.

"However, the 'First Dream' is related to the very beginning..." Truman looked at the "source matter" that was getting closer and closer to Him.

These "source matter" have already transcended the constraints of the laws of the universe, launching attacks based on fate and time, but in Truman's eyes now, they are pitifully slow.

This is an absolute difference in status.

The "First Dream" is not a "pillar"; it does not support the function of the universe. Its supreme status comes directly from the "First Creator".

This is the root of the fear that the Moon Goddess feels towards Truman. As a creation of the "First Creator," the "Fallen Mother Goddess" senses the aura of her "Creator" in Truman.

"You..." Truman's gaze fell on these "Source Matter". Apart from the "City of Calamity" that he had sealed away earlier, all the "Source Matter" were here.

"...Don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Awakening is the instinct of the "original creator," but it is not what He desires. Therefore, although Truman instinctively wants to eat these "source substances," he will not actually do so.

"Of course, as I said before, I will take the 'River of Eternal Darkness' and the 'Mother Nest'."

At this moment, Truman's perspective returned to reality. The Spear of Destiny in his hand dissipated, and he reached for the "River of Eternal Darkness" with his left hand and the "Mother Nest" with his right.

The turbulent waves of the "River of Eternal Darkness" instantly calmed down, and all the will to resist silently fell into the dream, gaining final peace.

However, the "Mother Nest" has already established a connection with the "Fallen Mother Goddess" in the outside world, and at this moment it bursts forth with an incomplete symbol of a pillar.

"You haven't recovered to be a pillar yet." Truman casually pronounced the future of the "Hive" in failure.

If it were a true pillar, there might be some trouble, but the current "Fallen Mother Goddess" is only in harmony with the "source matter" and has not yet truly merged.

Even if it is infinitely close to the "pillar", in Truman's eyes, such infinite closeness is essentially no different from not being it at all.

"Quiet," Dream said.

The "mother hive" fell silent, now in Truman's grasp.

"Let's go." Truman glanced at the "source matter" that hadn't even reacted yet, then turned and left.

He was heading towards the original end of the "River of Eternal Darkness," which was also the beginning of a tributary of the "River of Eternal Darkness," a passage leading to the northern and southern continents.

The seal set up by the "Lord of Mysteries" can no longer contain Truman.

"Shenzhou, I will return." Truman glanced at his long-lost homeland and disappeared into the passage.

The spacetime of the underworld returned to normal, and those "Sources of Dao" remained in place, which was somewhat awkward.

But the awkwardness was quickly broken.

The man from the River Styx rose from the River Styx, bewildered and at a loss.

Truman took the core of the "River of Eternal Darkness," which is like the dark blue portal in the "Source Castle," and the River Styx is now just a remnant tributary.

The Underworld Daoist sensed everything that had just happened through the marks in the River Styx. He glanced at the gradually disappearing "Sources of the Dao" and looked towards the north and south continents.

"Thank you for your grace, Immortal." The Underworld Daoist bowed his head in gratitude.

……

Klein pulled "Source Castle" into the Kingdom of Knowledge, and a massive amount of gray mist instantly filled the entire Kingdom of Knowledge, blocking the spread of the blood tide.

This naturally attracted the attention of the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

A clear and tangible gaze fell upon Klein, and at that moment, Klein's body stiffened.

This gaze did not cause him any serious harm, but it directly caused the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within him to surge instantly, directly exceeding the safety line and devouring him instead!

"You have lost. 'Dream' is trapped, and no one can stop 'Fall'."

"He has recovered to a level that is almost like a 'pillar,' and you can't stop him."

"Give up, let me fully awaken, and I promise to protect the planet beneath your feet."

The voice of "Lord of Mysteries" rang in Klein's ears, almost causing him to lose his mind.

"You have the same authority as me, so you should know that I did not lie just now..." Klein's heart trembled slightly.

In a single instant, the gaze of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" lost its power, and the "Lord of Mysteries" also lost its strong support.

Klein seized the opportunity, barely managing to maintain his composure. He suddenly looked up and met the eyes of the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

This being, who was infinitely close to being a "pillar," shifted his gaze to another part of the astral plane, which was... the divine realm of the Earth Mother!

What happened? Did Lilith finally break down?

Once the last two pathways are reclaimed, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" will instantly return to her most powerful state!

Klein's pupils contracted as he looked towards the divine realm of the Earth Mother.

Not only him, but even the "Lord of Mysteries" within him became eerily quiet. Similarly, the two "Omniscient and Omnipotent Ones" also stopped fighting and awaited the final outcome.
