Boundless darkness poured up, like a dreamless sleep.

However, in the depths of darkness, a ray of warm and calm light suddenly lit up, creating a small place of refuge.

In the area illuminated by the light, the figure of Selena Gerfen emerged, as well as the swaying blades of grass and unknown flowers on the surrounding small patches of ground.

Selena frowned, looking at the flowers and plants under her feet, she couldn't tell where she was from this small light - it could be a corner of the courtyard lawn, or a clearing behind a house, or even a vast grassland, the darkness obscured the whole truth, and the light of the dream lantern could only give her a glimpse of the narrow space less than five meters around her.

The mountain-like upper narrator is gone, the eerie "Duvalt" is gone, the abandoned plains are gone, and even the extraterritorial wanderers are gone.

Selena had a slight realization that her mind was supposed to be trapped in a cage of deep consciousness.

I just don't know what the situation is on Gawain's side...... As a powerful upper storyteller, he shouldn't be trapped in this situation, right?

Selena raised the lantern slightly, trying to see farther away, but the darkness hung around her like some kind of tangible curtain, and there was no receding idea.

Suddenly, Duvalt's voice came from the darkness:

"See...... For us, that's what our world was like in the first place......"

Selena held a lantern in her hand, and with her other hand instantly outlined a rune to protect her mind, she looked around vigilantly, but she didn't see anyone, only the voice continued to come—

"Limited Truth...... Limited World ...... Limited Authentic ......

"We are born, multiplied, developed, cultivated, built, created, studied on the stage you presupposed, we have our heroes, we have our stories, we have our kings and knights, we have our wise scholars and industrious people......

"We were so happy to live on this stage, faithfully living according to the script, we used to think we were lucky and rich – but only because we were so far from the boundaries of this box.

"No one realizes that we are prisoners of this world until they come into contact with the fence.

"O Great Creator, do you feel how we feel when we first open our eyes and see the world...... This little light makes you see the flowers and plants beneath your feet, and you can optimistically imagine that there is a whole vast grassland outside, but in fact?

"The lights of civilization have expanded, beyond the darkness...... Nothing!! ”

Suddenly, the curtain of darkness that enveloped Selena dissipated, and the light emitted by the dream lantern became brighter than ever, and in the sudden expansion of light, the area around Selena that could be seen quickly increased, and she could see the distant scene of the lawn under her feet, and saw something she hadn't seen before—

She stood in the middle of a cage, a huge birdcage with a small lawn at the bottom, and only a few steps further before crashing into the fine railing.

Beyond the railing, there is absolute nothingness.

Selena quietly listened to the voice coming from the darkness, quietly looked at the birdcage that trapped herself in it, and softly broke the silence: "So, you have a grudge in your hearts......"

"No, we're grateful...... Because at least, you created this world, and at least, you have allowed us to live and multiply here for thousands of years...... But have you considered this, O Great Creator, that it is the instinct of every intelligent being to get out of the cage......"

"Actually, you could have gone out," Selena said suddenly, "This is just a phased test, the testers in the sandbox have only been washed of their memories, you have your own life and identity in the real world, if we had known that you would have such serious psychological problems trapped inside, this test could have been ......"

"No, you still don't understand...... voice in the darkness gradually became cold, Selena saw a lot of dark red light emerging in the distance, and then those lights were pieced together into countless eyes, behind the eyes appeared a huge spider torso, she saw a giant mountain-like divine spider and boundless spider webs appear outside the birdcage, the eight-legged "god" came to the birdcage step by step, looking down on herself in the birdcage condescendingly, "Of course, you may understand, It's just a no-brainer, but none of that matters.

"Today, everything will end, the Creator will sleep in this dream, the creation will leave its cradle, we will finally see the true sunshine, and then the story will come to an end......"

The colossal spider god turned around, its long limbs sliding, as if ready to leave, and Selena couldn't help but shout in the birdcage, "Wait a minute!

"Who the hell are you...... What the? Are you Duvalt? Or an upper-class narrator? Or something else? ”

The spider god paused briefly and said as if in a low voice, "We are Duvalt...... We are also upper-class storytellers...... When the gods go mad, His humanity and divinity are separated, and we ...... It's the human part of Him. ”

After answering Selena's question, the mountain-like spider walked slowly, following the cobwebs that lay in the darkness, step by step, into the distance.

"Stop! You can't enter the real world! Selena shouted from the birdcage, "Listen, you have no idea what the consequences of doing this will be!" A god coming directly into this world will kill countless people, and your very existence alone will lead to uncontrollable disasters!

"Not only that, but it is difficult for you to survive in the real world, what supports your existence is the dream realm of mortals, you are a god who lives in the dream realm, this is destined!

"And how are you going to get into reality? All passages are closed, and the extraterritorial wanderers are arranged, you ......"

She said half-truthfully, she didn't expect to really stop the other party, but she just hoped that she could delay the revived god through words, slow down his pace, and buy some time for Gawain, who didn't know where he was—

She couldn't see where Gawain was, or even sense the slightest breath of the latter, but she firmly believed that Gawain, as an "extraterritorial wanderer", could not be trapped as simply as herself, the latter might be gathering strength somewhere, ready to deliver a real fatal blow to the upper narrator, and the only thing she could help at this moment was perhaps to stall for time.

But the upper narrator interrupted her, and a muffled murmur seemed to come from all directions:

"We don't care anymore, Creator.

You may be right, but remember that human nature is the most irrational.

"As for the 'extraterritorial loiterers' you mentioned...... Ah, is that the name of that strange being...... Unfortunately, he is powerful and eccentric, but he was one of the first to be corrupted by us, because from the very beginning, we were aware of his threat.

"Erosion began long as you arrived at the woven city-state, as long as you explored the temple, and our visit after dark was a key part of the erosion.

"Give up hope, Creator, the hope on which you relied is no more, the assimilation is complete, and the mind you call the 'Wanderer' has long since dissolved into this darkness."

"What......" Selena's eyes widened in astonishment, and even the light of the lantern in her hand dimmed slightly, but she couldn't make any bluff or deliberate bluff in the tone of the giant spider - and besides, when she was already trapped in a cage, it seemed that there was no need for the other party to lie anymore, which made her nervous at last.

"You're nervous and frustrated, understandable," the spider god whispered, "It's a shame for us, it's a very interesting individual, we can't even understand his existence, but we have to eliminate all ......"

"It's a good habit to eliminate all threats."

Suddenly, another voice came from the darkness, interrupting the upper narrator.

The voice was low and slightly noisy, as if it were a mixture of many different languages, but its subject was still clear and unambiguous, all too familiar to Selena - it was Gawain's voice!

Suddenly, an additional light appeared in the darkness outside the birdcage, and that light seemed to be moonlight cast from an invisible moon, reflecting a new land beyond the birdcage, the cobwebs, and the gods, and a tall, burly figure stood on that land, between Selena Gefen and the upper narrator!

Selena looked at the figure in amazement, but found that the state of the "Extraterritorial Wanderer" was very strange, she saw that Gawain was wrapped in shadowy black smoke and flames, and there were constantly additional shadows emerging from him, this scene was even strange to a little terrifying, but the aura coming from the tall figure was undoubtedly - it was indeed Gawain, the "Extraterritorial Wanderer".

"Why do you still exist?!" The mountain-like spider god finally had a hint of surprise, and the red light near his head fell on Gawain in an instant, "You have obviously been eroded and assimilated, your mind ...... How can you still exist?! ”

"Ah, it's really polluted, look at how I look now...... It was probably enough to scare Betty into tears. Gao Wen, who was shrouded in black smoke and flames, and who kept emerging additional shadows around him, looked down at his body, his tone was quite flat, and at the same time, the strange pollution traces on his body continued to fade with his words, and they were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Duvalt's voice became more and more stunned: "You...... In devouring them......"

"Fifteen hundred and twenty-three years of history, fifteen hundred and twenty-three years...... It's really a long time......" The "foreign pollution" on Gawain's body that didn't belong to him quickly dissolved, he slowly raised his head, and calmly looked at the colossal head of the upper narrator, and there seemed to be some different emotion in his tone, "It shouldn't be easy, right?" ”

Then he shook his head: "Unfortunately, it's still too short for me. ”

"Enough, we don't need an accident!"

The upper narrator Duvalt seemed to have finally been enraged by Gawain, and with the aura turmoil that seemed to tear apart the entire space, a huge arthropod rose high and smashed towards the top of Gawain's head, and the coercion and momentum it brought were far from being comparable to Duvalt, who had turned into a spider monster on the abandoned plains before-

It seems to pierce the whole world, cutting the boundary between reality and illusion.

However, the arthropod came to an eerie halt when it was still a meter away from Gawain.

Then, countless pale golden cracks quickly spread all over the entire arthropod and began to spread upwards.

The massive body of the upper narrator shook violently in the spider web, as if two conflicting forces suddenly appeared in his body, vying for the dominance of this body, and under this terrible conflict, the surface of his body was gradually covered with more cracks, as if it would be torn apart at any moment!

"What's going on...... What did you do......"

Selena heard that the "god" was exclaiming, and the spiritual pollution power brought by the exclamation made her have a splitting headache, and she even had to use all her strength to activate the power of the dream lantern to barely maintain herself, and she heard Gawain's calm voice sound, with regret in her tone-

"Young god, you are too young, and I, a mortal, am more cunning than you think......

"I deliberately let you pollute."

A thunderous voice rang out: "What did you say?!" ”

"I did it on purpose," Gawain looked up, watching the upper narrator's body crack in his eyes, "because there are some things that can only be done with the door open."

"If I don't accept your pollution, what shall I take to pollute you?"
