Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 13 What Do We Have Left After Crossing Time?

Yuanbao.

The mysterious world exists as one of the nine fundamental elements on Earth.

It is a necessary element left by the original Creator for breaking through Sequence 0 and reaching above the sequence (the Old Days).

It is the foundation of Zhou Mingrui's "three years to become a god and five years to return to the old ways".

Helmani dusted herself off and left the study. She walked down the long corridor of the residence and slowly strolled to the room belonging to the "Misfortune" lady.

Pushing open the door, the room was empty, with the bed and cabinet they had made together in their spare time placed in the center.

Lady "Misfortune" really likes the pan-human lifestyle.

Helmani removed her outer clothes, did some simple self-cleaning in the bathroom, and then lay down on the bed belonging to the "Misfortune" lady.

A faint fragrance touched my nose; it was the scent left behind by the "misfortune" lady.

Clearing her mind of distractions, Helmayne closed her eyes.

Based on the match between the video information and her abilities, Helmayne had determined that she was a Sequence 5 "Dreamwalker" of the Dreamer pathway, but the abilities she possessed were more powerful than described in the video.

She can capture the remnants of other people's dreams by using their usual sleeping locations.

However, Lady "Misfortune" was far superior to her, and Helmey was unsure whether her ability would be effective.

Hermaine was focused with spirituality; her spirit was spreading, overlooking the entire stone-paved room from a high vantage point.

In this state, Helmaenie captured shimmering points of light resembling a dazzling galaxy.

Those were remnants of the room's owner's dream.

It works...

As she calmed herself, Hermione's body on the bed gradually became ethereal, and her consciousness reached out to the tiny points of light.

Immediately, her vision was obscured by an endless gray fog. She could not discern directions in the fog, and the desolation and terror of sinking into the deep sea overwhelmed her consciousness.

Most people would feel dizzy or nauseous in this state, but Helmey was used to it. While she wouldn't say she was completely at ease, she felt a sense of familiarity, like being at home.

This is the "gray fog" that Urelius mentioned... but where is that magnificent palace?

Helmayne tried to leap between the various dream lights, but the rate at which her spiritual energy was being depleted was accelerating. All she could see was gray fog, and nothing but endless gray fog.

Hermaine's rapidly depleted spiritual energy did not make her anxious; she continued to wander in the boundless gray fog, spreading her spirit to sense and merge with it...

The reward for patience and perseverance is the gradually thinning gray fog.

In a thin, gray fog that she had finally managed to find, the weary Helmani saw a wide, shimmering river!

That river looked familiar.

Before Helmayne could think further, the fog on both sides of the riverbank gradually dissipated, revealing buildings that caused Helmayne, who had been maintaining a calm mindset, to suddenly feel a surge of emotion!

Those are architectural complexes that blend classical and modern styles!

The sudden sight before my eyes shattered my usual calm.

Hermione, whose spirituality was already on the verge of collapse, was pulled from her dream by intense pain and dizziness, and her form re-emerged on the pure white bed of the "Misfortune" lady.

With a soft moan, Helmani pressed her temples with her fingers, her body drenched in sweat, a fine layer of perspiration beading on her forehead.

She opened her eyes.

Through my blurry vision, I noticed a black figure had silently appeared at the head of the bed.

The black, form-fitting dress, seemingly woven from the night, accentuated her slender figure, making her appear even more aloof and arrogant.

She's the "Misfortune" lady!

"Helmaenie, what are you doing?" Lady "Misfortune" frowned and scrutinized her, asking her calmly.

How can this be explained?

They said they were worried that you were being tormented by an unknown entity, so they wanted to explore your dreams to find out.

Mental exhaustion, spiritual depletion, and extreme shock left Helmayne with a hoarse throat and sluggish thinking, making it impossible for her to organize complex language effectively.

Thinking of the city shrouded in gray fog, Helmaenie coughed lightly and managed to utter a single word:

"London".

Helmayne is now certain!

That corner of the city peeking through the thin gray fog was once London!

With the utterance of this English word.

A deep and terrifying darkness surged from behind the "misfortune" woman's back, spreading like a tide and engulfing the entire room in an instant.

But in this pure black realm, Helmayne did not feel suffocated at all; on the contrary, she felt a sense of comfort, as if her mental exhaustion was being soothed and her parched spirituality was being nourished.

"You really are an Earthling."

The "misfortune" lady was speaking English at this moment, but not with a British accent; her accent was more like that of the gentler Nordic people.

The "misfortune" lady used the word "as expected" in her words, which means that she had suspected my true origins a long time ago.

Helmani was shocked, but thinking back on the past six months of living together, she realized that Helmani had revealed many habits of modern people, which were quite different from the habits of human tribes in the current era.

If Lady "Misfortune" was also a contemporary of Earth, Helmaenie's habits would easily expose her identity.

Helmaene admitted frankly, "Yes and no. I'm more like a fusion of two souls, both an Earthling and Helmaene... What about you?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

From the subtle changes in the "Misfortune" lady's expression and mannerisms, Helmani confirmed that she meant no harm, but rather possessed a faint sense of friendliness. Emboldened, she retorted, "You... have you fused with the demon wolf?"

Seeing the mockery and curiosity in Helmaenie's eyes, Lady "Misfortune" did not get angry. Instead, she revealed a vivid sense of helplessness and slowly explained:

"My situation is different from yours; I am a soul purely from Earth."

Perhaps it was the sudden encounter with fellow Earthlings, coupled with the familiarity she felt from spending time with Helmey, that made Lady "Misfortune" talk much more than usual:

"I was terrified when I woke up in this strange world. Fortunately, this body has great power, so I won't be bullied by other creatures."

"I minimized my presence in this wolf kingdom and kept learning about my surroundings. Fortunately, those wolves were all rabid beasts who had been insane for years and did not suspect my identity or changes."

"My current appearance is also a transformation based on my memories of how I looked on Earth."

It's clear that Lady "Misfortune" doesn't identify with the wolf race; on the contrary, she feels a faint sense of hatred towards them.

It makes sense, considering that the "Misfortune" lady, who was able to roam freely in the Demon Wolf Kingdom, must have witnessed many bloody scenes of humans being eaten, played with, abused, and devoured by the Demon Wolves...

If one still considers oneself human, it would be a miracle if one could identify with the demon wolf race.

This also shows that Lady "Misfortune" is not a cold-blooded person who can be influenced by passion.

Lady "Misfortune" spoke frankly, and Helmaine also spoke about her own situation: "When I descended to merge, it just so happened that I was captured by the wolf cubs, so I am very grateful to you for saving me at that time."

"So it was back then?" A hint of realization flashed in the eyes of the "Misfortune" lady. "I have gathered some information about humanity and have heard of the name Helmaenie. She is a rare extraordinary being among humans known as the Guide. So, in front of the 'King's' palace, I took you in."

Then He continued, "In our subsequent interactions, I noticed some of your modern Earthly habits, and I had some guesses in my mind, but I wasn't sure..."

As she spoke, Lady "Misfortune" sighed softly, "I wonder how many Earthlings are like you and me..."

There are actually quite a few people on Earth, but there are very few remnants of the past like them. Helmayne sighed inwardly.

All humans and other human races can be considered as Earthlings... Whether it's elves or giants, they all evolved from ancient humans.

Judging from the "misfortune" lady's appearance, she seems unaware that what they are standing on is Earth, the world they originally lived in...

They weren't traversing worlds... they were traversing time!

But the passage of time has caused them to lose everything they once had.

Having watched the video and learned the truth, Helmayne sighed inwardly, unsure how to explain this situation to the "misfortune" lady.

Noticing Helmani's complex and depressed state, Lady "Misfortune" paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Have you considered returning to Earth?"
