Ashe walked up behind Silver Lantern, placing a hand on her shoulder, and explained the significant impact of the Chasm Sovereign’s arrangements on their escape plan. He continued:

“…That’s wonderful. You will not only become the Angel of the Chasm Sovereign of Senlo, but because of you, both the Chasm Sovereign and the people of Senlo are saved. You no longer need to prove yourself through destruction. From now on, your name will stand alongside theirs, the masses will be grateful to you, the Chasm Sovereign will commend you, and the crown of honor will forever be yours.”

Vesser listened, her eyes dreamy, nodding repeatedly: “You’re right. I’ve walked the path I needed to walk, fought the battles I needed to fight, reached the places I needed to reach. It’s time to enjoy the fruits…”

“Yes, exactly, so-“

“Confusion? Hmm? I didn’t expect you to learn the tricks of villains now.” Vesser’s expression suddenly changed, casting a sidelong glance at him, the dreamy look vanished, leaving only a faint mockery: “Though it’s effective, I’m well-versed in the Mental Sect. Do you think you can control my thoughts?”

Ashe’s face stiffened. This was his first time actively using “Bard’s Words” in reality. Under its influence, anyone would subconsciously believe his words, but Silver Lantern saw through it immediately-what a trashy Rainbow blessing, I want a refund!

In truth, Vesser wasn’t sure if Ashe’s words had triggered Bard’s Words, but she could see Ashe had that intention, so she deliberately exposed him. It didn’t mean much, but it was fun to bully Ashe using the information gap.

“Don’t worry.”

Vesser restrained her smile and said calmly, “Though I’m a religious fanatic, I’m not crazy to that extent. Since the Chasm Sovereign has promised me so many benefits, I won’t persist in the belief of destruction, especially with three deities present. Even if I want to act impulsively, I must remain calm.”

“There will be other opportunities to become an Angel in the future,” she said. “Reality is just a momentary delusion, but in that delusion, I have only one life. I can’t squander it on impulsive foolishness; I must save it for more important times.”

Ashe breathed a sigh of relief-he was genuinely afraid Silver Lantern would abandon everything just to see fireworks, wanting the Kingdom of Senlo to burn.

While they were discussing, the three deities remained silent. Once they finished their conversation, Fire Cat suddenly jumped up, raising her right hand and asked, “Excuse me, are you done talking? Can we proceed to the next step?”

Vesser nodded, “What’s the next step? What other arrangements does the Chasm Sovereign have?”

“The Chasm Sovereign’s arrangement for us is to announce His message, and there’s no further arrangement,” Dove said. “But we will restrict you from acquiring more Dream Master shares and prohibit your Dream Master privileges.”

Vesser frowned slightly, “Why?”

“The more Dream Master shares you acquire, the more the Land of Senlo will collapse, causing more Senlo people to die and become displaced, and triggering their battles; your Dream Master privileges allow you to pierce the boundary between Dream and reality, initiating ‘The Great Collapse,’ which would directly lead to an irreversible Doomsday for living beings,” Dove explained. “To protect the lives of Senlo people, we must perform a prohibited ritual on you.”

Ashe and Vesser exchanged glances. This sounded quite reasonable, even somewhat touching-they actually cared so much about the safety of mortals-but there was a problem.

“I can understand prohibiting Dream Master privileges, but restricting the acquisition of Dream Master shares, wouldn’t the Chasm Sovereign still bear the consumption of Senlo’s Dream?” Ashe asked, puzzled. “Isn’t He supposed to free up resources to heal Himself?”

The three deities didn’t even look at Ashe, calmly gazing at Vesser. Only when Vesser asked the same question did Dove respond, “Yes, but now the lives of Senlo people are the top priority. Successor, please cooperate.”

Ashe thought for a moment and softly said to Vesser, “Though it’s a bit strange, it’s not incomprehensible. Perhaps the Chasm Sovereign’s usual orders to them are to prioritize protecting Senlo people, but now the usual orders conflict with the Chasm Sovereign’s special order to transfer Dream Master shares to you, so they still act according to the usual orders.”

“No need to resist. They’re just executing orders. Anyway, you’ve already triggered the Doomsday precursor, satisfying the prerequisites for the escape plan.”

Vesser nodded as well. Compared to the Inheritance from the Chasm Sovereign, this little episode was insignificant. Moreover, facing these three deities who walked out of history, Vesser, having listened to their stories since childhood, didn’t want to conflict with them on non-interest issues.

Ashe estimated that the prohibited ritual was secret knowledge, and he wasn’t convenient to stay, so he prepared to leave through the Fog Gate and quickly report the good news to Igor and the others.

However, before leaving, he thought of how these three deities valued the people of Senlo so much, and wondered if he could involve them in the plan: “I plan to inform the people of Senlo about the Doomsday, urging them to flee Senlo. Can you three appear on the surface and announce the news that the Chasm Sovereign is gravely injured and dying, and that Senlo is in a Doomsday countdown?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that these three deities had no eyes for him, only for the successor Silver Lantern, so he turned to have Silver Lantern repeat it.

However, at this moment, the three deities all turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Ashe.

Fire Cat: “You want the people of Senlo to flee Senlo?”

Ashe, puzzled, nodded, “Yes. Though I don’t have that much power, now that the Doomsday precursor has appeared, coupled with the help of the Void Gate concept, I just need to give a little push and tell them the correct usage of the Void Gate Spirit, and they’ll naturally know how to escape.”

Bluebird: “No, you cannot.”

Ashe was stunned, “Why not?”

Dove walked up to Ashe and explained, “If the people of Senlo leave, the consumption to maintain the Land of Senlo will drastically decrease because the people of Senlo are the ‘main body’ of Senlo. Areas that Senlo people cannot perceive are almost indistinguishable from reality until observed by Senlo people, at which point the Chasm Sovereign will cover the Dream’s power over it.”

Ashe was a bit confused, “Isn’t that a good thing? With reduced consumption, wouldn’t the Chasm Sovereign be able to free up more resources to heal Himself?”

“Of course, it’s not a good thing,” Fire Cat exclaimed. “That would be very troublesome for us!”

At this point, Vesser finally sensed something was wrong. Her face turned pale as she rushed over, shouting, “Ashe-“

The moment Vesser made a sound, Ashe had already spread his virtual wings, retreating rapidly, Sanctuary covering his entire body, attempting to escape directly into the Fog Gate!

But it was useless.

Dove thrust his staff forward, the tip piercing through the Sanctuary, through the skull, through the brain, and out the back of the head. This thrust completely transcended reality, like pi, like an object unaffected by external forces moving in uniform linear motion, reality must operate under these laws.

“If the people of Senlo leave, the Chasm Sovereign might survive,” Dove said. “That’s not good.”

“The Chasm Sovereign must die.”
