Chapter 2799 The Truth About Mother Earth's Disappearance
Immortal Mingke blamed himself and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, it was my oversight that led us into the Heavenly Demon's trap, resulting in the loss of so many people!"
If he had recognized the Heavenly Demon's trap sooner, the Earth Mother Plains might not have fallen into such a passive situation. "The Heavenly Demon may be after you, wanting you to step into the Earth Mother Plains alone."
The Nine Nether Emperor, who dwells deep within the Crimson Heaven Golden Palace, is like a dragon hidden in the abyss. He has countless capable people around him and a million-strong army under his command. Which heavenly demon would dare to go to Ju City to kill him?
But if he comes here alone, trapped in the Dragon-Trapping Valley thousands of miles away, hehe, that would be the Dragon Trapped in Shallow Valley.
He Lingchuan already knew this before he stepped over, so he waved his hand and said:
"You also rescued He Yue, and the Shen army was a great help. Otherwise, with just a few of you and this small garrison, we wouldn't have been able to delay my arrival."
Time was of the essence, so he only talked about the pros and cons, without offering any comfort.
"How many Great Heavenly Demons are there in the Panlong Secret Realm?" He Lingchuan went straight to the point. "I only discovered Jialoutian."
"Bai Zhantian and Tong Mingzhenjun's team are still on their way and will soon arrive at the secret realm."
He Lingchuan nodded.
Therefore, his opponents today are three Great Heavenly Demons, a situation several times more perilous than that in the Panlong World.
Of course, he still has some advantages. For example, the Nine Nether Emperor in reality has far more means at his disposal than the Tiger Wing General in the Panlong world.
In the Panlong world, their real troubles, besides the Great Heavenly Demon, were the army of Bega; but here, He Lingchuan was much more at ease as he didn't have to face the threat of thousands of troops.
While pondering this in his mind, he then asked, "What happened to Mother Earth's loss of contact?"
The little stone man also appeared. He Lingchuan could tell at a glance that this was an incarnation of the Earth Mother, without any spirituality, and only followed basic rules.
The Earth Mother is one of the most crucial conditions for them to deal with the arrival of the demons. The battle is taking place on this plain controlled by the Earth Mother. If she can return, He Lingchuan's chances of handling today's situation will increase by at least 40%.
"We've fallen into the Heavenly Demon's trap." Then, Immortal Mingke finished explaining what had happened in a few words.
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Didn't you observe any signs before the Earth Mother's soul disappeared?"
Immortal Mingke felt ashamed and remorseful, but the whereabouts of the Earth Mother remained unknown, which left him truly perplexed.
But he immediately added, "Bao Chihai said he saw the dream barrier."
Where is Bao Chihai?
No sooner had he finished speaking than Bao Chihai floated down from the top of the city wall and hurriedly knelt down in front of him, his voice filled with exhaustion: "Your Majesty, you have finally arrived!"
He was covered in wounds, and whether he moved or spoke, tiny particles floated from his wounds like black mist, then dissipated into the air. In particular, Bao Chihai's right hand fingers continued to turn into mist, and in just a few breaths, only his wrist remained.
His left eye was already just a black hole.
Nightmares don't bleed, but they do lose their abilities; this is the energy they lose.
The lower the energy, the less clear his physical form, or rather, his spirit, becomes.
"Outrageous!" He Lingchuan casually scooped up a ladle of water from the square and handed it to Bao Chihai. "Drink this."
When he bent over, his hands were empty; when he reached out again, a green gourd appeared out of nowhere.
Bao Chihai wasn't surprised at all. The Nine Nether Emperor was the creator of the secret realm. Not to mention conjuring up a water ladle here, he could even conjure up a water dragon without any problem.
He took the green gourd and drank it all in one gulp.
Just a few breaths later, the smoke from Bao Chihai's wounds stopped, and they began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He is a plains night wanderer appointed by the Nine Nether Emperor. As long as the Emperor approves, he can obtain energy from the Panlong Secret Realm/Dayan Heavenly Pearl to replenish himself.
While Bao Chihai was drinking water, He Lingchuan asked, "How did the Earth Mother's soul disappear?"
"We regularly patrol the dream world of the plains to drive away evil spirits and nightmares from outside, in order to protect the dream world of the Earth Mother Plain from invasion." From the perspective of the Night Wanderer, this world is actually divided into two realms: the outer world is reality, and the inner world is the dream world.
The same applies to the Earth Mother Plain.
The Earth Mother herself, along with the immortals and guards on the plains, can defend against external invasions. However, some evil spirits invade the inner world, the dream world, and their whereabouts are particularly secretive. This is where the Night Wanderers need to be deployed. In other words, they are protecting another layer of security on the Earth Mother Plains.
Bao Chihai grabbed a handful of water, opened his palm upwards, and the series of water droplets that should have fallen rose upwards, continuously merging and eventually forming several suspended water spheres of varying sizes.
“However, dreams vary in size and scope, some involving single individuals and others involving multiple people, and they are often not interconnected. The layer of water that envelops them is the dream barrier!” Bao Chihai continued explaining, “We nightmares can almost freely traverse all the dreams of the Earth Mother Plain, except—”
He scooped up his hand, and all the other water spheres burst, leaving only the largest one, hanging alone in mid-air.
"—Apart from Mother Earth's own dream, it does not allow us to enter."
This is entirely understandable. The Earth Mother, as the master of this plain, enjoys the utmost privacy and naturally wouldn't allow the Night Wanderers to pry into her dreams. Besides, she has a cooperative relationship with Cang Yan and the Nine Nether Emperor, not a direct superior-subordinate relationship. The Night Wanderers are merely residing within her and usually treat her with great respect.
Mother Earth dreams. He Lingchuan knew this little-known fact. Otherwise, how did Shangguan Biao imprison it in the Void before? "It probably sleeps very little."
The Earth Mother's true form is a large rock, unlike humans who are sleep-deprived.
"Yes, but Mother Earth was too tired. As soon as she returned to her birthplace, she fell into a deep sleep, and her dreams were also shielded."
He Lingchuan suddenly realized.
Yes, the Earth Mother has complained of being tired several times, but because the world situation is complicated and there is a great opportunity to disrupt the gods' plans, the Nine Nether Emperor has repeatedly asked the Earth Mother to send troops.
This would only worsen the situation for Mother Earth.
Alas, every sip and every bite is preordained.
Bao Chihai continued, "Originally, we wouldn't have disturbed it, but one of my Nightmare subordinates discovered that a strange light purple color had appeared on the Earth Mother's dream barrier. At first, it was still clearly defined, but when I got there, I found that the Earth Mother's dream was completely enveloped by a cloud of purple mist!"
As he spoke, the water sphere in his hand changed; it was originally colorless and transparent, but purple tobacco wisps slowly crept onto its surface.
In no time, the entire water sphere was enveloped in purple mist.
Then, the purple mist began to expand and differentiate. If the Earth Mother's dream was originally shaped like a water sphere, the purple mist, now connected to it, now resembles a peanut, narrow in the middle and bulging on both sides.
When the Earth Mother's dream took an unusual turn, the Night Wanderer naturally had to investigate.
