A Top Scholar in Everything

Anton's words were truly shocking.

According to Baiyu's experience these past few days, he hasn't been in the Simulation Realm for even a week.

However, in the Mountain City,

a month has already passed.

And it has been breached by the demon army.

Of course, a breach doesn't mean defeat; there should still be fierce resistance within the Mountain City.

Furthermore,

Anton also said that this time the demons have unleashed their entire forces.

This assessment is quite normal because without a full force deployment, such a terrifying number would be hard to explain.

Moreover,

in the Simulation Realm, Baiyu encountered special forces among the demons, further indicating the unusual nature of this attack.

Not only have two alien races launched a full-scale attack.

But there are also demons.

This is where the confidence of the two alien races lies.

Baiyu asked many questions later but found no signs of lying; Anton's tone was very normal.

"At this time, everyone can only rely on their own abilities to survive; demons might be attacking other shelters within the Imperial territory simultaneously."

The Bounty Hunter group,

when there's no mission, usually gather in taverns to brag and criticize, also known as legendary keyboard warriors.

However,

many times these brags have some basis.

Despite Anton's words being outrageous, Baiyu still kept an eye on it.

Better safe than sorry.

"Brother, how did you end up here?" After a chat, Anton asked Baiyu.

"I don't want to be in this hellish place, but often, we don't have a choice." Baiyu smiled.

Anton wasn't really interested in hearing Baiyu's story.

Quickly,

after both filled their stomachs at the supermarket, Anton bid farewell to Baiyu, ready to leave.

Though there are sources of food and clean drinking water here.

However,

with the appearance of alien races and him having already fired a gun, it's not suitable to linger.

Now he's considering how to survive in this demon-ravaged land, which might also be a common consideration for all remaining living souls in the Mountain City.

Baiyu didn't linger either.

He packed a large bag of food, found a relatively safe basement, and then instructed Cang Yan to alert the surroundings from the scholar space, while he himself entered the Dream Realm through the dream battlefield of the scholar space.

The only Dream Realm location he could access now was the "Giant King's Court."

Baiyu thought.

The demons and alien races being so frenzied must be related to the situation in the Dream Realm.

After all, such frenzied actions,

from the perspective of the Imperial before, are suicidal behavior.

Not to mention Mountain City being easy to defend and difficult to attack; even if demons seize it, the cost would certainly be unacceptable to them.

Just like now,

the demon losses far exceed expectations, at least ten times that of Mountain City; even if they eventually conquer this city, they will surely be gravely injured.

After conquering,

whether they can defend it is another issue.

From all aspects, attacking Mountain City with such relentless force is a very foolish thing.

Even after conquering it,

they would find it hard to gain more.

What made the demons execute such irrational and incomprehensible attack strategy has to have other reasons.

Baiyu thought.

The reason lies within the Dream Realm.

Therefore, he immediately went to the Giant King's Court and found Catherine, the female giant.

"Recent changes in the Dream Realm?"

Faced with Baiyu's sudden question, Catherine shook her head: "If you ask me about this, I'm not very sure either.

However,

recently there has indeed been something happening in the Dream Realm."

Catherine said, while pulling out a thick book from behind and began flipping through it page by page.

Finally,

she closed the book and said: "This year is the ritual year in the Dream Realm, and as usual, every power in the Dream Realm will offer sacrifices to the holy supreme Sun God.

Of course,

such sacrificial 'scorching sun' activities,

are always accompanied by various divine conflicts, as it is almost traditionally dictated as the way to resolve disputes.

Regarding the abnormality of the demons you mentioned,

it's evident.

The Divine Spirit supporting humanity has lost the conflict, and the demons have received directives from their own divine spirits to begin large-scale invasions.

Without divine spirit levels of power, demons have no worries.

You humans,

haven't you communicated with your divine spirits?"

Baiyu was a bit stunned.

He has indeed not seen any direct exchange between the Human Imperial and divine spirits, not even the Holy Light Church which has been marginalized by the Imperial.

And the Mechanical God Church,

as the National Church of the Imperial, its internal situation is unknown to outsiders.

"What effects does the failure of a divine conflict have on the real world?"

Baiyu continued to ask.

He always knew the Dream Realm had a great influence on reality, but never thought the situation in Mountain City was due to the battles behind the Dream Realm.

Catherine nodded: "The effects are significant; the real world's situation is essentially controlled by the Dream Realm.

Though your real battles are important,

the Dream Realm's situation is the one affecting the whole world.

Races without divine spirits' protection will disappear in the river of history, devoured by other races.

Additionally, those races without divine spirits' protection are certain not to survive.

Their extinction,

is their final destination.

In battles between different species, slaughtering to the last one is the greatest respect to the opponent."

Baiyu's face was very solemn.

According to this, it was the supportive divine spirits of humanity that failed in the Dream Realm.

And on the human camp side,

the beliefs,

are clearly in the Seven Gods.

"Can you know specifically how the situation in the Dream Realm is?" Baiyu looked at Catherine.

However,

Catherine could only shake her head: "No, the Giant King's Court has thoroughly shut itself off these years; though the Giant King has fallen, many forces still want to find the original Giant King's Court and completely destroy it."

Baiyu nodded.

He also knew about the awkward situation of the Giant King's Court.

"Baiyu, it's best for you to prepare yourself; when the divine spirits of a race start losing momentum, there might be an outbreak of large-scale battles afterwards.

Of course,

there used to be many divine spirits favoring humanity, so humans' situation wouldn't be too dire.

However, as things stand now,

you certainly won't get support from the Dream Realm in your battles against demons, as the divine spirits in the Dream Realm siding with humanity might be struggling themselves."

Catherine spoke plainly.

Her advice was for Baiyu to lay low for a while, as battles between divine spirits can last decades or centuries easily.

And between divine spirits,

it's also hard for them to kill each other.

So waiting out the storm would not be too late.

"Were humans' divine spirits always dominant before?"

Baiyu asked.

Catherine chuckled: "The Spirit Realm isn't within Canglan Star's scope, but why were you able to establish cities there?

Not to say they held the advantage.

But at least the divine spirits siding with humanity were not in a weak position."
