Chapter 482 (1/2)

Hao Ren had been looking for a door in the real world, through which he could safely travel to the Plane of Dreams—there would be no need for troublesome conversion equipment, and longer time constraints while he explored the mysterious world. Plus, he would not be held responsible for the collapse of the Wall of Reality, or the implosion of the Plane of Dreams into the real world. He was looking for the crack, which had existed way before he even began to look for it. To top it all off, it had been safely opened once. Only a crack like that was reliable. The thing he had been looking for was right in front of him.

If the vengeful spirit was like the other unusual creatures—a creature that invaded the real world from the Plane of Dreams—this lilac crack in front of him would then be the passage through which this creature came to Earth.

The passages used for by the unusual creatures to cross over to Earth had disappeared over time, but no one ever thought that the passage used by the vengeful spirit would still remain!

Of course, it was not a sure thing that it was stable crack leading to the Plane of Dreams, but at least the possibility was high.

As Becky also came to her senses, she was filled with joy and she began to run around. She hugged everyone, shaked hands with them, and started saying goodbye. The only things on the greedy mercenary’s mind were her manor, titles, gold and jewelry—those things were lying in her dream home, waiting for her. All she needed was a door through which she could travel home safely!

She jumped onto the round platform happily and lunged into the light film. However, she could not cross over as expected.

Hao Ren yelled behind her, “Calm down. We have to find a way to reactivate this thing first.”

Becky was disappointed as she squatted by the side, her head hung low.

“You think this door could lead to…” Vivian whispered to Hao Ren. “But, it’s closed now. Do you know how to activate it?”

Hao Ren scratched his chin while he thought about it, pretending to be an expert. Nonetheless, he managed to come out with an idea. “I think it has something to do with the ‘stones’ that you gave to the two human menials.”

Vivian twisted her eyebrows. “How do you know? I tinkered with the stones and studied them for a long time, but the door didn’t move an inch.”

“Maybe you were doing it wrong,” said Hao Ren. “And even if it’s impossible to open the door, it’s worth studying. What’s more, it fell out of the crack, so it has to be related to the vengeful spirit. We should go back and see Igor. He would not have thrown away something left behind by his ancestors just like that.”

“Do you think he’ll just take out the stones without any resistance?” Vivian looked at Hao Ren suspiciously.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” said Hao Ren as he looked at Vivian. “His ancestors had addressed you as the boss. You should show your power as a witch. We have a portrait to back up that. You should know a little something about the secrets of their ancestors, right? By then we will find ways to convince him of your identity.”

Vivian thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully. Meanwhile, Hao Ren had walked around the black tableland. As the vengeful spirit had been contained, the strange weather surrounding the circular platform had long subsided, and the dark, snowy plains were back in silence, the only activity in the area was the lavender light film above the circular platform which was emitting a buzz like a electrical current flowing through a transformer.

This ancient space crevice hid a huge secret. Hao Ren decided to dig it out at all costs.

They decided to leave this strange space for a while and go and ask for one of the two stones from Igor. Before they went, White Flame stepped forward suddenly and said goodbye to everyone. “I’m not going with you all. I’m here just to hone my skill a bit. Now the vengeful spirit has been contained, I should go back.”

Hao Ren smacked his forehead in realisation. “Oh yeah … I almost forgot that you are not with us!”

Everyone eyeballed Hao Ren. Even Lilly was wagging her tail and said, “You seem to be more naive than I’m, landlord.”
