Tang Wulin hurriedly inspected his internal condition to find that his soul power was still there, as were those green and purple specks of light. Everything that he had learned was also cemented firmly in his mind.
Those hallucinations were simply far too terrifying and realistic, and he may have spent over a year trapped in them.
”Inside the hallucinations, time pa.s.ses at a quarter of the speed as it does in the real world, so you've only been here for less than four months,” Old Demon Greed said.
”Your friends still haven't completed their trials, so they'll require some more time. What I have to tell you is that it won't be a good thing for them to have their trials brought to premature ends. They need to go through the complete process and rebuild themselves on a psychological level, especially that kid.” Old Demon Nightmare pointed at Yue Zhengyu as he spoke.
Tang Wulin immediately recalled Yue Zhengyu's horrific experiences, and as he looked around at the seven old demons, he finally truly believed them.
”Alright, I'll tell you all what happened. Firstly, I really don't know how I managed to trigger this Life Tide and Destruction Tide that all of you are talking about. From my perspective, I could only suddenly sense that the life energy around me had become more powerful at the conclusion of my meditation, and after that, I saw a really strange sequence of scenes.”
Thus, Tang Wulin gave all of the old demons a specific recount of everything he'd seen, only neglecting to tell them about the two specks of light that had appeared in his soul power vortex.
He was still maintaining a shred of caution, so he naturally couldn't reveal everything. At the same time, he disclosed all of this information as he also wanted to hear the old demons' a.n.a.lysis. They were the beings that were most familiar with the life and destruction energies on the demonic islands, so their input on this matter would definitely be the most reliable.
After hearing Tang Wulin's story, all seven old demons' brows furrowed in unison as if they'd all fallen into deep thought.
”The purple light is definitely destruction, while the green light has to be life. This means that you most likely saw projections of the G.o.ddess of Life and the G.o.d of Destruction when you were in your trance-like state. There's only one place that they would protect, and that's the Divine Realm. Perhaps what you saw explains why we've been unable to contact the Divine Realm. This is extremely important information; I'll compile a detailed report based on what you've told us, then get you to deliver that report to the master of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion after you get back to the academy,” Old Demon Greed said in a serious manner.
”I'll be happy to do that.” Tang Wulin immediately nodded in response.
Old Demon Greed continued, ”I just don't understand why you were able to trigger all of this. Did you feel anything else at the time? And what was that golden speck of light?”
Tang Wulin replied, ”I don't know, either, but when I saw that golden speck of light, my emotions suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and I was struck by a strong sense of sorrow reminiscent of when my parents left me.”
Old Demon Greed's brows furrowed even further. ”It's too hard for us to draw any concrete conclusions based on that information alone. You keep meditating here and see if you can enter that state again. After exiting Nightmare's illusionary realm, you won't be able to re-enter it, so you'll have to wait here for your friends.”
”Alright,” Tang Wulin immediately agreed before turning to Old Demon Gluttony before asking, ”Was all that food you brought to me real? Is there any more of that?”
”No! Do you know how much of my food you've eaten? The life force energy here is so abundant; you don't even need food! Just go and cultivate!” Old Demon Gluttony grumbled before vanis.h.i.+ng in a flash.
Tang Wulin then turned to Old Demon Sloth, and even now, he was still filled with rage and indignation. He swept a sleeve through the air in a furious manner and also disappeared.
Old Demon Desire chuckled, ”You've really hurt Sloth's self-esteem this time. I feel sorry for your friends; he's definitely going to vent his fury on them. Greed, are you really not planning to test him? Your test is the sternest of all of our trials.”
Old Demon Greed shook his head. ”There's no need for that. Unless I forcibly wipe away part of his memory, my test won't do anything. I'm sure this kid won't be blinded by greed.”
Tang Wulin couldn't help but chuckle internally. After all, he had always loved money ever since he was a child, so he was actually quite susceptible to falling into a trap of greed!
