102: Chapter 12 Goodbye, Dream God!

"There are."

Lu Yin nodded. "But the other fragments aren't on this planet; they might not even be in this star sector."

"Not in this star sector..."

Xiao Wanguo's brow furrowed at the news.

Although humanity could already perform interstellar travel, the universe remained incredibly mysterious to them.

"Cross-sector navigation... It seems this matter requires careful consideration."

"How about this: I'll go back and discuss it with Commander Ye."

"Provide me with the approximate coordinates you sensed, and we'll send an advance team to investigate first."

Lu Yin pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.

While he couldn't give an exact location, he could provide a general range.

Having an advance team understand the situation beforehand would also make it easier for him to go there personally in the future.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Wanguo hurriedly departed.

After seeing Xiao Wanguo off, Lu Yin sat alone on the edge of his dorm bed, his gaze fixed on the soul fragment in his hand.

"Place of Divine Fall..." he whispered the name, his fingertips lightly tracing the fragment's cool surface.

"Master, Yar doesn't recommend that you investigate news regarding the Place of Divine Fall at your current level."

As Lu Yin was lost in thought, Yarberna's exquisite figure appeared, her voice charming as she smiled.

Looking at the suddenly appearing seductive figure, Lu Yin quickly asked.

"You know of this place?"

Yarberna leaned lazily against the table, her red lips curving into a meaningful arc.

"The Place of Divine Fall... that is a name even true gods are tight-lipped about."

Her voice carried a hint of ethereal resonance, as if coming from a distant time and space.

"Rumor has it that it was the battlefield of an ancient war of gods, where countless powerful deities fell."

"Their godheads shattered, and their divine power dissipated."

"But their obsessions and residual wills turned that star sector into an eternally forbidden land."

She extended a slender finger, lightly tapping the deep blue fragment.

"This fragment should be a part of the soul of some fallen god."

"It contains part of that god's memories and power from when they were alive, but it is also tainted by the curses and madness inherent in the Place of Divine Fall from that divine war."

"For an ordinary Professional, even a mere glimpse of the aura through this fragment is enough to have their soul eroded by the chaotic will within."

"Not to mention rashly heading to that star sector..."

Yarberna leaned closer to Lu Yin, her breath like orchids, yet her tone carried a rare seriousness.

"That place is a restricted zone for life, a graveyard of rules."

"Space is shattered, time is disordered, and there even exist... bizarre things born from the fall of gods."

"Without sufficient strength, stepping into it would surely mean certain death."

Lu Yin's brow furrowed slightly.

"A battlefield of gods... what did they fight for? Internal strife? Or was it because of faith?"

Yarberna chuckled and shook her head, twirling a strand of hair around her finger as her eyes grew deep and misty.

"Does Master think the wars of gods are like those of mortals, fighting for territory or faith?"

Her voice held a hint of raspiness: "Those... are all too insignificant."

"There is no clear line between what is a good god and what is an evil god."

"They are all just disagreements that arise in order to achieve their own goals."

Lu Yin fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, his gaze falling back onto the deep blue fragment.

If what Yarberna said was true, even high and mighty gods could die.

It seemed there was still too much of the unknown in this world for him.

He shook his head, pushing these chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

Matters linked to gods were clearly not something he, a lowly First-Turn Professional, could participate in right now.

Rather than obsessing over those, it was better to think about the present.

He already had plenty to do, such as the key of the gods dropped from the Dream God Challenge; he was only one away from entering the Gods Secret Realm.

Then there was the World Dungeon in two days, the Rift of Time.

The Doomsday Battlefield Ye Qingxian mentioned, and the beacon location of the Level 7 wild Mechanical Race.

The divine mission he had accepted, and most importantly, tracking down news of his parents.

"Master, do you need Yar to sleep with you?"

Just as Lu Yin was closing his eyes to rest, Yarberna's highly seductive voice drifted over.

Just hearing those few words caused a sudden surge of heat to flare up within Lu Yin.

"Stop, don't mess around."

Lu Yin hurriedly opened his eyes and said.

"Is Master afraid? Or... are you suppressing yourself?"

Her voice was like the sweetest poison, capable of driving any male to madness.

Looking at Yarberna's stunning face so close at hand, Lu Yin swallowed hard.

"No need."

"Master, there's no one else here."

Lu Yin took a deep breath, forcing down the agitation in his heart.

But just as he was about to tell Yarberna to behave, a strange fluctuation suddenly emerged in the room.

"Hmm? What a pity, it seems a guest has arrived."

Sensing the appearance of the aura, Yarberna whispered regretfully and vanished into a streak of purple light.

"Human, I granted you a token. Why haven't you come to the arena to challenge me?"

As a gender-neutral voice drifted over, a blurry and dreamlike silhouette of light appeared in the center of the room.

Lu Yin stood up and looked at the light-shadow, his expression instantly filled with shock.

"Dream God?"

"You can actually leave the Gods Arena and descend into reality?"

"Uh... it was too boring, so I used a few tricks."

The Dream God's silhouette swayed gently in the room, as if pieced together from countless dream fragments, emitting a phantom and ethereal aura.

"Boring?" Lu Yin was slightly stunned; he hadn't expected to hear such a reason from a god.

"Yes, boring." The Dream God's silhouette floated casually over to the desk, its voice carrying a hint of laziness.

"It's been a long time since an interesting challenger like you appeared in the Gods Arena."

"I granted you a token, expecting to have another exciting gamble with you, but you haven't shown up for a long time."

Lu Yin smiled and explained.

"Lord Dream God, it's not that I don't want to go to the Gods Arena to see you."

"I'm afraid that if I go in, I'll accidentally level up and won't be able to enter the God Challenge tomorrow."

"After all, I'm only one key of the gods away from being able to enter the Gods Secret Realm."

The Dream God's phantom shook slightly: "I see."

"Cautious human, you certainly consider things thoroughly."

"Then how about this: we'll have a gamble here. Only stakes, no experience. How about it?"

Listening to the Dream God's proposal, Lu Yin was dazed but also couldn't help but wonder.

Is this guy the Dream God or the God of Gambling?

To have such a heavy addiction that they'd chase him out just to gamble.

"Gamble on what?"

Regardless of any addiction, Lu Yin was still very interested in a gamble with a god.

After all, he had won a round before and obtained a divine artifact.

Seeing Lu Yin's inquiry, the Dream God's tone carried a hint of excitement.

"Poker, Blackjack. How about that?"
