End of the Magic Era

After examining all the worlds, Lin Yun decided to try one of them first. He had to rescue all the five of them anyway. He didn't know to whom the sixth illusionary world belonged.

"Fatty, were there only five human beings who recently came to the Kingdom of Nightmares except the vampire ancestors?"

The fat kid was confused too. He counted several times, only to discover that there was indeed an extra one…

"I'm not sure. It can't be wrong. The chief mentioned a lot of times that this is the first time that anyone has ever entered the deeper world since I was born. He said that there had been a long time since the last visitors arrived. Whoever came earlier must be dead already…"

The fat kid was stunned. Lin Yun frowned too, and didn't care what the fatty said.

Entering the deeper world, everybody would be separated and trapped in their own dream, which was not entirely safe.

If they died there, they would truly be dead…

Even if they weren't killed inside, they would encounter other dangers as the dream progressed.

Take the illusionary world that Lin Yun entered for example. Even if he survived, as time went by, the world would still be destroyed 20 years later when the Shelter Tower's light died out.

By then, Lin Yun, who was only as strong as a mage, would surely die.

The same would happen to other people. They wouldn't be just trapped in the illusionary worlds, which were nightmares. As the nightmares progressed, the King of Nightmares would swallow the worlds and strengthen himself. Even though the King of Nightmares had perished, his kingdom was still running according to his laws.

So, Lin Yun was rather baffled. Whose illusionary world exactly was the sixth one?

If anyone had entered the Kingdom of Nightmares and the deeper world, they couldn't have kept it a secret from the Leopard Tail Worms, the locals of the Kingdom of Nightmares. They were observers in this dream, and they guarded the entrance to the deeper world all the time.

The fat kid, who was a pure rookie, tracked Lin Yun down soon after he came to the Kingdom of Nightmares. The same would've happened to anyone else. It had nothing to do with his strength.

If Lin Yun hadn't encountered the battle of two top experts in the inland sea, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to enter the deeper world…

Though confused, Lin Yun stopped thinking. He picked the green illusionary world that had a starry sky.

Although he could only see the vague shapes in the world, he speculated that it belonged to the Great Astrologian.

He drifted towards the ball of light slowly. Gradually, it became bigger and bigger in his eyes, until it was bigger than all the other balls. A few seconds later, all that he could see was the light ball. Lin Yun felt that he was falling in the world of light.

Dazzling light arose around him. The entire world turned brilliant. There was no telling how long it took, but Lin Yun felt that his feet were on solid ground again. The light around him was gone.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw a forest that was full of tall trees. The gravity here was much greater than that of Noscent, but smaller than the periphery of the Kingdom of Nightmares.

Flying to the sky and examining the environment, Lin Yun put on an awful expression.

Several kilometers away, there was a tree that was more than 500 meters tall. Its crown covered a radius of several kilometers with a halo. Some human-shaped creatures were on the tree.

What frustrated Lin Yun was the house on the tree, which seemed to have naturally grown as part of the tree.

Elves…

They were not just ordinary elves. They had silver long hair and a gray but not dark skin, which was like a layer of frost. When they flew among the trees, there was even a brilliant streak of light behind each of them that was in the color of moonlight…

The Silver Moon Elves…

Lin Yun concealed himself, and flew to higher places. Observing the environment with Hawk Eye, he felt more and more terrible.

The dim sky gradually glowed, and the scorching sun rose in the east. As the sun rose, the mist in the forest was quickly gone, and the dark world was illuminated.

Lin Yun stared at the distance, where an enormous shadow could be vaguely seen. As the mist faded away quickly, a terrifying tree that was at least 10 kilometers tall showed itself. It could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away.

The crown of the tree was shrouded in dazzling brilliance, as if it were a pillar that stood between the sky and the earth. Lin Yun could feel its magic waves clearly even though he was so far away.

At this moment, Lin Yun finally realized that the abundant magic waves were not because of the exuberant magic power here, but because of the enormous tree.

"The Eternal Tree…"

Lin Yun covered his head, and moaned almost painfully.

The Eternal Tree was a symbol of the pure-blood elves and the Nesser Dynasty.

The Eternal Tree only existed in the Nesser Dynasty. After the Nesser Dynasty's fall, the elves never had the Eternal Tree again. The best mother tree that any elves could ever have was the life tree. There wasn't anything better.

Lin Yun wasn't very certain when he saw the Silver Moon Elves earlier. After all, the pure-blood elves disappeared from Noscent after the fall of the Nesser Dynasty. However, it was impossible that all the pure-blood elves went extinct.

In Noscent's age of colonization, small tribes of the Silver Moon Elves had been spotted in the boundless planes.

However, after seeing the Eternal Tree, Lin Yun didn't have any doubt that he was in the Nesser Dynasty…

This illusionary world was from the Nesser Dynasty!

After figuring that out, Lin Yun confirmed that this illusionary world belonged to the sixth person in this place.

Neither Agalon nor Alonzo was born yet back in the Nesser Dynasty. This couldn't be their dream. The three deans of the Starry Sky College were born even later than Agalon, so this was even less likely to be their dream.

So, this had to be the world of the unknown sixth person, who was apparently a creature from the Nesser Dynasty!

Thinking of that, Lin Yun's expression changed. This illusionary world might have appeared much earlier than he expected. It was possible that it had appeared even before the Kingdom of Nightmares arrived in the Plane of the Undead.

That was the only reason why the Leopard Tail Worms were unaware of the sixth person's entrance. When the King of Nightmares just perished, and everything was unstable before the Kingdom of Nightmares was melted into the Plane of the Undead, there could be exceptions who escaped the guardians' attention.

Thinking about that, Lin Yun put on an awful expression. Whoever had spent so much time in this place without having a nervous breakdown had to be extremely strong. He might even have survived the collapse of the illusionary world…

He was undoubtedly a terrifying creature beyond the Heaven Rank!

During such a long time, the illusionary world had to have collapsed many times, yet the guy remained here. It was impossible that he didn't know how to get out. He probably stayed here because he wanted to.

After considering for a moment, Lin Yun put on an awful expression.

It was truly challenging to survive in the Nesser Dynasty, especially when he wasn't aware of which phase of the Nesser Dynasty this was yet.

There weren't as many extraordinary creatures in the Nesser Dynasty as there were in the age of gods, but the number of experts was still plenty.

Level 7 of the Heaven Rank was only reasonably good in this era. It was not really the top…

After spotting the Eternal Tree, Lin Yun quietly descended, and flew in the opposite direction at a lower altitude. He was really too close to the Eternal Tree here. If the pure-blood elves found him, they would probably kill him without letting him say anything with their arrogance.

Hiding his body and all his waves, Lin Yun simply flew at an altitude with the power of the wind elements. He flew further and further away from the Eternal Tree more smoothly than he expected.

None of the pure-blood elves could've foreseen that someone would suddenly show up so close to the Eternal Tree. The defenses weren't as rigorous as he expected when he was so near the Eternal Tree.

However, the expert elves he met on the way were more than he expected. He saw more than 80 Heaven Rank Silver Moon Elves, and even a level-8 Heaven Rank Hymn Elf.

It seemed that the further he was from the Eternal Tree, the more elven experts there were…

After flying across more than 3,000 kilometers, Lin Yun suddenly stopped—he was spotted…

He heard a loud and pleasant song. In the sky, a lot of spirits were cheering and dancing in the sky. There seemed to be a curtain of light that was falling from the sky.

All the elements around seemed to be summoned. They danced in the song. When the light sprayed from the sky, Lin Yun came to an abrupt halt, and it was impossible for him to hide any longer.

The light covered a radius of dozens of meters. Everything that was hidden in the range would be exposed to the light.

Lin Yun took out the Draconic Staff and the Book of Death, knowing that it was pointless to hide.

That was the Hymn Elf's Song of Truth. Everything that was hidden could no longer be hidden. Hiding became pointless. No spells could be cast to hide anyone. Everything would be exposed.. All he had to do was fight…
