Chapter 2668: The Historic First Defeat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing the situation, Song Shuhangs heart, which had been about to leap out of his throat, finally retreated.

“If the roots of the Inner World truly extracted the ‘Dream Realm’s law collection’, then Senior White’s ‘God Creation Plan’ would be utterly ruined… From the source, failure wouldn’t even afford him a chance to start anew,” he thought.

Fortunately, the roots of the Inner World halted just in time, lightly grazing the Dream Realm’s law assembly without inflicting significant damage.

On the opposite end, the Dream Realm’s law collection, previously attracted by Song Shuhangs iron head, swiftly recoiled like a startled animal, retreating to a corner of the Immortal Tomb’s main layer, trembling.

Song Shuhang gazed at the location of the ‘Dream Realm’s Law Assembly’ with a hint of skepticism. With the assistance of the Scholarly Sage’s eye, he discerned the ever- shifting colors and shapes of the ‘Dream Realm’s Laws.’ “That’s odd,” murmured Song Shuhang.

“It’s a bit peculiar,” remarked Pavilion Master Chu while gently tapping her

Dream Realm’s law assembly was merely a ‘law’ devoid of self-awareness. The attraction of the assembly to Song Shuhangs iron head could be attributed to a natural phenomenon, akin to how iron is drawn to a magnet—Song

Shuhangs iron head emitted a magnetic field that attracted the ‘Dream Realm’s law collection.’

However, the behavior of the Dream Realm’s law assembly suggested a faint ‘consciousness.’

It actively avoided Song Shuhang, akin to a timid creature exhibiting ‘fear.’ Such evident behavior was beyond the capabilities of a mere collection of laws.

“Could Sage White’s information be inaccurate?” Song Shuhang’s lock of hair twisted into a braid, extending to his neck as he stroked his chin in contemplation.

Pavilion Master Chu pondered for a moment before continuing, “Sage White has extensively studied the Dream Realm’s laws within the Dream Realm. It’s unlikely he made such a rudimentary error regarding the fundamental information of the Dream Realm’s laws. Thus, there are two potential explanations…”

“Proceed with your analysis, Senior Pavilion Master Chu,” nodded Song

Shuhang.

Pavilion Master Chu hesitated momentarily.

“I’m just used to being playful with Senior Mental Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword, so I slipped up,” Song Shuhang interjected, redirecting the conversation. “Please continue, Pavilion Master Chu.”

“There are two possibilities. Firstly, it’s plausible that this ‘Dream Realm’s law assembly’ was initially in a ‘non-sentient’ state within the Dream Realm. Upon entering the Netherworld Realm, it was stimulated by environmental changes, causing it to mutate and exhibit a degree of intelligence,” speculated Pavilion Master Chu.

“That seems reasonable,” concurred Song Shuhang. Environmental shifts often lead to varied manifestations.

“Then, what’s the second possibility?” inquired Song Shuhang.

Pavilion Master Chu paused before continuing, “The second possibility is that this ‘Dream Realm’s law assembly’ possessed consciousness from the outset. However, for reasons unknown, it refrained from revealing its ‘consciousness’ within the Dream Realm, leading to Sage White’s misinterpretation. It was only upon departing the Dream Realm that it revealed its intelligence.”

“Could it be that it refrained from revealing its consciousness in the Dream Realm due to Senior White? Perhaps it feared that Senior White might dissect it during his experiments, hence opting to conceal its consciousness for self-preservation?” speculated Song Shuhang, following Pavilion Master Chu’s train of thought.

As Song Shuhang finished speaking, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, previously silent, interjected, “l disagree. If this is the second possibility, then I believe the target of the Dream Realm’s law collection isn’t Master White.”

Pavilion Master Chu nodded in agreement, “Indeed. Sage White possesses an unparalleled charm. With his peculiar allure, he shares an extraordinary affinity with all things. Essentially, any intelligent entity would not easily regard him with suspicion.”

While attractiveness didn’t grant carte blanche, in a world where appearances mattered, beauty wielded significant advantages.

“That makes sense,” affirmed Song Shuhang.

Although Pavilion Master Chu and Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet’s explanation lacked detail, it held persuasive merit.

Putting himself in Senior White’s shoes, Song Shuhang reasoned that were he the Dream Realm’s law entity, he wouldn’t readily be wary of Senior White. And if one didn’t guard against Senior White from the outset, then initial interactions would inadvertently betray signs of ‘self-awareness,’ allowing Senior White to discern the details.

Thus, considering the inverse… Before Senior White and the others ventured into the Dream Realm, perhaps the ‘Dream Realm’s law assembly had feigned madness, guarding against something within the Dream Realm?

“Wait, if that’s the case, wouldn’t that be very troublesome?” mused Song Shuhang, rubbing the space between his eyebrows.

Senior White intended to execute the ‘God Creation Plan’ within the Dream Realm. If there lurked something within the Dream Realm that even its laws had to guard against, it spelled dire consequences.

Having reached this conclusion, Song Shuhang turned his gaze toward the ‘Dream Realm’s Law Assembly’ ensconced in a corner, attempting to communicate with it.

“Hello? Hello?” he called out.

Yet, the Tomb of the Immortal echoed only silence in response. The ‘Dream Realm’s law assembly’ remained motionless, silently shifting its colors and shapes.

“Why don’t we attempt the ‘Blade Nurturing Technique? Let’s cultivate a rapport with it first,” suggested Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet. Despite his reluctance, he acknowledged the potency of Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Songs technique, the Saber Nurturing Technique.

“Excellent idea,” agreed Song Shuhang, as his braid extended, pressing down on the ever-changing laws of the Dream Realm.

However, the Dream Realm’s law assembly didn’t evade.

Yet, when Song Shuhangs braided palm reached the corner, it met emptiness. The braided palm failed to make contact with the ‘Dream Realm’s law collection.’

“Peculiar, my touch… Even the lotus roots of the Inner World can make contact,” remarked Song Shuhang.

After pondering momentarily, he unleashed two Blade Nurturing Techniques toward the void where the Dream Realm’s laws resided.

The radiance of the ‘Blade Nurturing Technique’ flickered.

Regrettably, the sorcery’s effect failed to impact the Dream Realm’s law collection.

Unyielding, the Dream Realm’s law assembly resisted Song Shuhangs ploy.

This marked the first failure of the ‘Saber Nurturing Technique’ amid numerous expeditions, bearing profound significance in Tyrannical Songs narrative!
