Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

But if the leader can advance further, even Stan's people will have a chance.

Thinking of this, even the ancestors who were almost ready to give up began to be moved.

After the exchange, everyone couldn't help but start imagining things, except for Lei Wang, who was also Captain Lei, who fell into deep thought.

Chapter 841 New Possibilities

"Thunder King, is something on your mind?"

While Snake King was overjoyed, he also noticed that his teammates' emotions were a bit off.

The Gold-ranked members of the Upper City established their families and are therefore referred to as Ancestors.

Because of its initial status as the land king, the Lower District was also given the title of "King" after becoming a gold-level district.

However, to some extent, the gold grade can indeed reign supreme in such remote areas.

"nothing!"

Awakened by his teammates, Lei Wang also snapped out of his daze, although his teammates were also happy that he had survived and that the Heavenly King had become a Legendary.

For some reason, Lei Wang always felt that he had lost something important, and he had a strange sense of unreality.

Such emotions are completely inappropriate for a powerful Gold-ranked individual.

But Lei Wang couldn't find the reason, which gave him a real headache.

"Could it be due to the influence of the Abyss Lord from earlier?" the Serpent King asked, frowning.

It is at least comparable to a legendary Abyss Lord. If it were to do something, even a regular Gold-level cultivator would have a hard time detecting it.

The most dangerous enemy they encountered was the Abyss Lord they had just met.

"possible!"

Lei Wang looked serious. If the Abyss Lord had done something underhanded to him, then things would be terrible.

The impact of a problem occurring with a Gold-level character can be quite terrifying.

"There's no point in you worrying about this alone. Go and see the Heavenly King. If it's due to the influence of the Abyss Lord, he should be able to help," the Snake King said quickly.

They are no longer rootless duckweed, but have a sky supporting them.

"Yes!"

Lei Wang was taken aback, realizing that there was no need for him to dwell on it any longer; he could simply go find the Heavenly King.

With his Gold rank, he was still able to meet the Heavenly King.

"Thank you!"

After thanking them, Lei Wang quickly left the group and headed towards Tianwang City.

"Although I don't know what's wrong with Thunder King, with Heavenly King here, he should be able to resolve it," War King said confidently.

"Your Majesty has more important matters to attend to, so please leave these minor tasks to us."

The War King looked down at the abyssal demons; there were still quite a few of them.

If all these gold-level beings attack together, it shouldn't take long before they can wipe them all out.

However, since the intention is to leave it as a testing ground for future generations, it is necessary to spend more time and effort to prevent unexpected factors from arising among the demons.

For example, a gold-level item might unexpectedly appear... or the Abyss Rift might be resummoned.

However, these are all minor matters. With a legendary figure presiding over it, Blackwater City... no... it should be called Dream City, is now one of the safest places in this region.

“We can set up a large barrier to separate this area for future generations to train in. We can even actively summon some demons or wild beasts as supplements,” Ancestor Stan nodded and said.

Previously, due to limitations in its strength, Blackwater City could not do these things even if it wanted to, and it was also afraid of problems arising.

But things are different now. With the Heavenly King in charge, they can act a little more recklessly.

"Although we have the powerful tool of the Dream World virtual world, we cannot ignore the trials of the real world. No matter how realistic the virtual world is, it is still fake after all," the Lei family patriarch said solemnly.

The Dream Realm is indeed very useful; even those at the Gold level can't distinguish between the real and fake versions. But it's just too useful. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster for everyone.

Therefore, although the Dream Realm exists, the Lei family patriarch still values ​​cultivation in reality more.

"Do you think there will be problems with Lord Heavenly King's Dream Realm?" The Wolf King's expression instantly turned fierce.

"Hmph, I didn't say that. It's just that preparations need to be made for everything," the Lei family patriarch sneered. He wasn't afraid of the Wolf King.

Although the Wolf King had already pledged allegiance to the Heavenly King, these ancestors were not easily intimidated.

"You!" The Wolf King glared angrily, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by the War King.

"Alright, Wolf King, these are just minor matters," the War King said calmly.

The War King and the others were already used to the Wolf King's reaction.

As one of the earliest followers of the Heavenly King, the Wolf King has never allowed anyone to question the Heavenly King, not even in the slightest.

This is probably how the Wolf King expresses his loyalty and worship, although the Heavenly King never cares.

For the Lei family patriarch and others, blindly agreeing with others is not the way to conduct oneself.

Those who join later should demonstrate their attitude in order to gain the boss's favor.

Although everyone is now working under the same boss, it doesn't mean that anyone has to give way to anyone else.

Although they didn't join at the beginning, they joined before the construction of the Dream City and even presided over the establishment of the entire force, so the difference in status between the two wasn't that great.

"Hmph, don't let me find out you have any disloyal thoughts towards His Majesty the Heavenly King, or don't blame me for being impolite," the Wolf King said coldly.

As for the Wolf King, the Lei family patriarch didn't care at all. As a Gold-level being, second only to the Legendary Realm, as long as he wasn't out of his mind, it was unlikely that he would betray the Wolf King.

He, a mere Gold-level being, is not worthy of anything that could make a Gold-level being betray the Legendary Realm.

"Besides these abyssal demons, there is a new dream city to be built. The upper and lower districts, including the main city, can all be directly razed."

Stan the Ancestor ignored the conflict between Lei Zu and the Wolf King, and instead communicated with the War King. The new city needed to be built by both of them together, as it would not be good if either of them built it alone.

"It's time to level it. The entire Dream City only needs one will, only one patch of sky," the War King said solemnly.

Although it's painful to destroy the city you built with your own hands, for the sake of greater benefits and a better future, this emotional value is completely insignificant.

“We understand that, of course.” Ancestor Stan’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that the War King was referring to him, or rather the entire main city.

After all, before this, the six major families were the true masters of the entire Blackwater City, and they were used to being high and mighty.

That kind of owner-like mentality is not something that can be easily changed in a short period of time.

Although the Heavenly King has become a legend, there are always some people who are unable to recognize reality and may do some bad things.

It doesn't matter if it affects them, but it's a different story if it offends the Heavenly King.

“When the time comes, we will personally clean house and show no mercy,” Patriarch Stan assured.

His feelings were directed toward the entire family, not just those parasites within it.

In fact, although he was the patriarch of the family, so many generations had passed that it was difficult for him to have any deep feelings for the younger generation of the family.

"It's good that you all understand!" The War King nodded. He was just reminding everyone that the Heavenly King had become a legend and naturally didn't need to compromise in such a place.

……

War King and Ancestor Stan and others began to deal with the matters of the newly built city, while Thunder King also flew back to Heavenly King City and found Lu Yunhe.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly King!" Thunder King bowed respectfully, then directly stated the problem he had.

"Your Majesty, did the Abyss Lord cast some spell on me?" Thunder King asked nervously.

If that's really the case, then it's troublesome. If there are some methods that are difficult to eradicate, then just in case, he will have no choice but to atone with his death.

"The reason your perception is disordered..." Lu Yunhe looked at Lei Wang in front of him, who was also Lei Captain from another world, and then slowly took out a crystal ball with a dreamlike color from his hand.

Looking at the crystal ball in the Heavenly King's hand, the Thunder King felt a growing sense of excitement, as if something was about to burst forth.

“Some time ago, I asked you to cooperate with me in an experiment, simulating the future of Blackwater City without me,” Lu Yunhe said slowly.

"Because the simulation was so realistic, it made it difficult for you to distinguish between reality and fantasy for a while. Therefore, I deliberately deleted some of your memories of the fantasy world."

"I see!"

Lei Wang suddenly realized why he always felt something was missing; it turned out that the Heavenly King had deleted a part of his memories.

If the Heavenly King himself were to take action, he might truly be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

As for the memory deletion, such a chilling method, his entire life belongs to the Heavenly King, so cooperating with some experiments is only natural.

Why are there so many Gold-level characters in the Lower City? A large part of them are for the Heavenly King's experiments; getting a Gold-level job isn't easy.

"Then... sir, what is the future of that simulated world like?" King Lei asked hesitantly.

"Naturally, they were all wiped out during the Abyss invasion," Lu Yunhe said with a smile.

"Without His Majesty the Heavenly King, the power of Blackwater City would indeed be insufficient to stop the invasion of the Abyss." The Thunder King remained silent for a moment.

Looking at Lei Wang, who was deep in thought, Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment.

"It seems that using Lei Wang as an anchor point and covering reality with illusion still leaves some remnants."

Lu Yunhe pondered, "But that's not necessarily true. This simulated world hasn't truly perished yet; there's still a chance for change."

After all, that timeline was essentially a deus ex machina that forcibly brought him to a close.

"Lei Wang, do you want to try again?" Lu Yunhe asked.

"Is it alright, Your Majesty?" Thunder King looked up instantly, his eyes filled with anticipation. He didn't know why he was so interested in a virtual world.

But he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

"Try it!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yunhe summoned a wisp of Captain Lei's spiritual light and cast it into the dream world.

That dream world, which had been brought to a close, began to evolve once again.

……

In the dream world, on the eve of the Abyss Lord's arrival!

At this moment, Captain Lei was buried in the ruins, and his life was almost extinguished.
