SSS-Rank 10x Reward System: Accepting Disciples to Live Forever-Chapter 215: Enough

"When we finally realized that everything we knew about the world was false... that day marked the extinction of the dragon race."

Eternal Dream’s voice was calm, yet the weight behind her words felt immeasurable.

"Millions of mighty dragons suffered cultivation deviation. Their Dao hearts collapsed..."

Hearing those words, Wang Chen felt a cold chill spread through his heart.

If what she said was true, then perhaps it was not so strange that even the legendary dragon race had fallen into extinction.

After all, imagine discovering that something you had believed in your entire life... something you had taken as absolute truth... was nothing but a lie.

It would be enough to shatter anyone.

For example, imagine suddenly discovering that the parents who had raised you since childhood were not your real parents at all... but the very people who had murdered your true blood parents.

How would anyone react to such a revelation?

The shock alone would be devastating.

Of course, the situation for immortals was far more delicate and complicated than such a mortal analogy. The collapse of a Dao heart was not merely emotional turmoil; it meant the complete breakdown of one’s understanding of reality.

Yet this was the closest comparison Wang Chen could think of.

But one question remained.

A terrifying one.

Who was capable of doing such a thing?

Who possessed the power to manipulate reality on such a scale?

The dragon race had once stood at the absolute peak of the cultivation world. They were beings worshipped as legends across countless realms.

And yet...

Even they had been destroyed.

According to Eternal Dream, during the peak of the dragon race there had been twenty Supremes among them.

Twenty.

Right now, even the entire Upper Realm might not possess more than ten Supremes in total.

Even reaching ten would probably be an exaggeration.

So who could possibly scheme against a race that powerful?

Wang Chen’s mind was filled with questions.

But Eternal Dream was no ordinary being.

With her wisdom, how could she fail to see what he was thinking?

"You are not the only one who has asked that question."

When she spoke those words, a faint streak of hatred flashed through her snow-white eyes.

For just a moment, the calm and distant dragon seemed to reveal a glimpse of the fury buried deep within her heart.

Then she sighed softly.

"It is not that I do not wish to tell you."

Her voice grew quieter. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"But his mere mention will alert him."

Wang Chen’s brows tightened.

Eternal Dream continued slowly.

"In the past... he was someone who wished to replace the Heavenly Dao itself."

"That was his goal in the past."

Her gaze drifted into the distance, as if looking through endless layers of time.

"And after so many years have passed... I am afraid..."

She stopped there.

The rest of the sentence remained unfinished.

Silence filled the space between them.

Yet Wang Chen felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck directly into his mind.

A shiver ran down his spine.

Although Eternal Dream had not finished her words, the meaning behind them was already clear enough.

Terrifyingly clear.

Silence lingered between them for a moment.

Wang Chen did not know what to say.

The weight of everything he had just heard was far beyond anything he had expected when he entered this inheritance ground. His mind struggled to process it all.

After gathering his courage, he finally spoke.

"Please explain clearly."

Eternal Dream looked at him quietly before continuing.

"At first, we thought this was nothing more than a futile attempt."

Her voice carried a faint trace of distant memory.

"Even the dragon race believed the same. How could anyone possibly succeed in replacing the Heavenly Dao?"

She paused slightly before adding,

"After all, the Heavenly Dao was known as the original consciousness of the True Creator."

Hearing that unfamiliar title, a puzzled expression appeared on Wang Chen’s face.

True Creator?

Now who in the heavens was that supposed to be?

The name was completely foreign to him.

Still, Wang Chen silently made a mental note of it. Whatever that being was, it clearly had something to do with the deepest foundations of the world.

But he did not interrupt.

Eternal Dream continued speaking.

"If the fall of my race was not enough evidence..."

Her tone became heavier.

"Then the fall of the Nether Empress and the destruction of the reincarnation cycle should be more than enough to confirm it."

Her gaze turned distant.

"The true, original Heavenly Dao is long gone."

"Either completely devoured..."

"...or trapped in an endless slumber."

Wang Chen suddenly felt a dull ache spreading through his head.

This conversation had escalated far beyond what he was prepared to handle.

He had the strange feeling that he had somehow stumbled into a discussion about the final bosses of the universe... while he himself was still stuck in the tutorial stage of the game.

This was simply too much information.

Far too much.

His poor Nascent Soul brain was clearly not built to process cosmic conspiracies involving dragons, Heavenly Dao replacements, and something called the True Creator.

Honestly...

He didn’t even want to hear more.

Sometimes, knowing too much could be more dangerous than knowing nothing at all.

After a moment of chaotic thoughts, Wang Chen finally forced himself to calm down.

He took several deep breaths.

Slowly, his racing mind began to settle.

Then he looked directly at Eternal Dream.

"Enough with all these fancy words," he said bluntly.

"Tell me where I come into all of this."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"What do you want from me?"

"And what exactly did you mean when you said..."

"’You are finally here’?"

Eternal Dream seemed to realize she had revealed far more than she intended.

After all, no matter how talented Wang Chen might be, his cultivation was still only at the Nascent Soul Realm.

In the grand scheme of the universe...

He was barely more than a speck of dust.

Or, as some might say, a microscopic organism drifting through an ocean far too vast to comprehend.

She sighed softly.

Her shoulders sank slightly, as if a heavy burden rested upon them.

For some reason, Wang Chen suddenly felt that Eternal Dream looked like someone who badly wanted to light a cigarette.

Strangely enough, that was the first reaction from her that he could actually understand.

"It feels rather desperate," Eternal Dream said after a moment.

Her voice carried a faint weariness.

"After all... this entire inheritance ground was prepared specifically for your arrival."

Wang Chen’s eyes widened slightly.

"Not only that," she continued, "even the trials you encountered were designed especially for you."

Eternal Dream’s gaze dimmed slightly.

Only she knew how long she had waited.

How many endless years had passed while she waited for Wang Chen to finally appear.

Sometimes...

Knowing too much about the truth of the world could slowly drive a person insane.

Looking at Wang Chen, Eternal Dream suddenly felt a strange thought rise in her heart.

Among all the ignorant beings in the world, someone like Wang Chen, whose mind seemed blissfully empty of cosmic worries, might actually be quite enviable.

Imagine knowing that your race was destined for destruction...

Yet being completely powerless to stop it.

The weight of that knowledge alone could crush even the strongest minds.

Just as her thoughts began drifting toward the distant past, Eternal Dream shook her head.

"You are right," she said quietly.

"Enough of all this."

Wang Chen instinctively glanced toward the others nearby.

Figures like the All-Seeing Immortal and the woman from the ancient winged race still remained frozen in time, trapped in the halted world created by Chronoblade.

Then he turned back to Eternal Dream.

Realizing the conversation was finally about to reach the real point, his expression gradually grew serious.
