107: Chapter 17 The Divine Realm!
The moment Lu Yin stepped through that starlight portal, his surroundings underwent a world-shaking transformation.
It was as if he were in the Primordial Universe, with endless, deep stars accompanying him from afar.
Beneath his feet, there was no solid ground.
Instead, it was a Path of Flowing Light that mirrored the brilliant galaxy like a mirror, winding forward and stretching toward an unknown destination.
On both sides of the road were slowly rotating nebulae and the occasional passing meteor.
Silence was the only adjective Lu Yin could think of.
In this vast and boundless space, an indescribable sense of loneliness and grandeur simultaneously surged in Lu Yin's heart.
Lu Yin cautiously stepped forward, and the Path of Flowing Light beneath his feet rippled in circles with every step.
It was like walking on water, yet it felt incredibly solid.
After walking for about an hour, the scenery ahead finally changed.
At the end of the road was an isolated island suspended in the void, shrouded in mist.
As Lu Yin passed through the mist and stepped onto the island, a burst of vitality, completely different from the deathly silence of the starry sky outside, rushed toward him.
Beneath his feet was soft, lush grass dotted with unknown exotic flowers and plants, emitting a refreshing and delicate fragrance.
Towering ancient trees stood in rows, with seven-colored rays of light flowing between their branches and leaves.
Occasionally, Spirit Birds with feathers as brilliant as gemstones flew past, letting out crisp and melodious chirps.
In the distance, a winding stream gurgled, its water clear enough to see the bottom, with faint crystalline specks of light floating within.
The air was thick with energy particles that were almost tangible; every breath felt refreshing, and every cell seemed to be cheering.
It was quiet, peaceful, and unrealistically beautiful, like a perfectly woven dream.
"Is this the Gods Secret Realm?"
Lu Yin observed his surroundings, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
He summoned the Three Legion Commanders and Lin Xiao.
"Hmm? The aura of a god?"
The moment Lin Xiao appeared, he spoke out in surprise.
"Have you been here before?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's voice, Lu Yin asked.
"No." Lin Xiao shook his head. "But I can sense the aura of a god. Where... is this place?"
"The Gods Secret Realm," Lu Yin replied.
"Oh, that makes sense. That aura must belong to the god residing here."
Lin Xiao showed a look of understanding and said.
"A god? A real god?"
A flash of shock crossed Lu Yin's eyes.
"Yes."
Lin Xiao's words made Lu Yin's heart skip a beat.
A real god?
Could it be the Dream God?
Carrying this doubt, Lu Yin and the others moved forward slowly.
They passed through the blossoming woodland and crossed the stream flowing with shimmering specks of light.
A majestic palace gradually appeared at the end of their vision.
It was built entirely of a white jade-like material, its surface flowing with dreamlike seven-colored halos.
The outline of the palace loomed in the mist, as if it might merge into the background of the starry sky at any moment.
An indescribable pressure gradually intensified as they drew closer.
Arriving before the palace's massive doors, the gates opened inward silently and automatically, revealing the deep hall behind them.
The scene inside the hall was even more astonishing; the dome was not solid but a miniature of a brilliant galaxy.
Stars flickered, casting down a clear radiance.
The floor was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the starlight from the dome.
Deep within the hall, a woman leaned lazily against a high-backed throne made of pure crystal.
The moment he saw her, Lu Yin felt his breath hitch slightly.
It was a beauty that transcended mortal imagination.
She wore a silver gown flowing with the brilliance of the stars and moon, its hem spreading around the throne like mist.
Her skin was whiter than snow, so translucent that one could almost see the faint light flowing within.
Her silver hair reached the floor, its tips adorned with tiny starlight specks.
Her features were impeccably exquisite, every line appearing as the world's most perfect creation.
Especially her eyes; within them were swirling star vortices that constantly formed and vanished, so deep they could suck a person's soul inside.
Simply by sitting there, she naturally exuded a supreme divinity that caused the space around her to ripple with her as the center.
Lu Yin immediately recognized the familiar divine power fluctuations. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Dream God."
"We meet again, lucky human."
Mebius's voice resonated directly within the depths of Lu Yin's soul.
But this time, it was no longer neutral; it was an incredibly moving female voice.
Lu Yin's mind trembled slightly; this was indeed the Dream God herself.
She no longer had the hazy concealment or the vocal disguise.
A true deity appeared before Lu Yin's eyes in the flesh.
To be able to see a true god was a supreme honor for any human Professional.
But at this moment, Lu Yin was not immersed in the shock of seeing a god; instead, he asked with a hint of doubt.
"Lady Dream God, seeing your true form is indeed my good fortune."
"But... is this Gods Secret Realm the Divine Realm where you reside?"
The stars in the Dream God's eyes slowly rotated, and a faint smile played on the corners of her lips.
That smile caused the halos throughout the hall to ripple.
"The Divine Realm?"
She shook her head gently, the starlight on her silver hair flickering.
"This place is but a fragment of my thousands of dreams, a courtyard for a temporary rest."
"The true Divine Realm is far beyond what you can reach or understand at this moment."
"Then may I ask, Lady Dream God, since I have collected the key of the gods and entered this Gods Secret Realm, are there any opportunities or rewards?"
Lu Yin blinked and asked very directly.
He had originally thought the Gods Secret Realm was a treasure trove given to Professionals by the gods.
He hadn't expected it to be merely a god's residence.
The star vortices in the Dream God's eyes paused slightly, seemingly finding Lu Yin's blunt, almost offensive question a bit amusing.
"To be able to meet a true god and converse with them is an opportunity in itself."
Hearing the Dream God's answer, Lu Yin showed a hint of disappointment.
He had been very interested in the Gods Secret Realm.
He didn't expect that entering it would only involve saying a few words to a god.
This opportunity was simply too... ethereal.
The Dream God took in all of Lu Yin's disappointment and then she chuckled.
"Human, I was just joking."
"Since you have collected three key of the gods, I naturally won't let your hard work go to waste."
As soon as the Dream God finished speaking, her long, jade-like finger lifted slightly and tapped the air in Lu Yin's direction.
A golden light orb floated out and slowly landed in front of Lu Yin.
Inside the light orb was a paper voucher, which Lu Yin took.
The voucher flowed with a pale golden halo; its material was neither cloth nor paper, feeling warm to the touch.
There was no text on the voucher, only countless tiny starlight specks slowly swirling to form ever-changing patterns.
"This is a Tower of God Admission Ticket, but the level restriction is quite high; you need to be level 100 or above to enter."
"Once inside, you can fight against various Divine Projections and obtain rewards beyond your imagination."
"However, I'm telling you in advance: the Divine Projections in there aren't like the minor skirmishes I had in the Dream God Challenge."
