“How do you know her?”

Lan said placidly, “Although I was born here, it doesn’t mean I know nothing about your world. Have you heard of the ‘Realm of Mind’ or the Origin of Magic?”

Roland immediately thought of Kabradhabi’s statement. His hand that was going to reach out to the broken cup on the floor paused in the air for a second. Then he suddenly threw himself over the table and asked Lan in a low voice, “Is she in the Realm of Mind?”

“Of course not, but she left a mark in the Realm of Mind. Anyone who has sufficient power will leave a mark in the Realm of Mind.” Lan paused for a second before she resumed, “I know what you want to ask about. You want to know how to bring her back to life and then do it yourself. You also want to know how to stop the Battle of Divine Will. However, I have to tell you that we don’t have much time.”

“What do you mean?”

“People will eventually fade out of the Realm of Mind. This process is irreversable. Even if you know the method, you probably won’t have enough time to suit the action to the plan, and this isn’t the worst scenario yet.”

“What’s the worst scenario?”

“The Dream World has intruded God’s mind, and He won’t let things keep going like this. “In other words, when God believes that nothing could put things back on track, He’ll destroy the two worlds. The situation is even more pressing than you think, and that’s why I made up my mind to persuade you,” Lan said slowly. “Child, help me, and you’ll be also helping yourself.”

“Sounds quite convincing,” Roland commented sarcastically. “But you just said that the truth was what I understand. In other words, you can be lying to me right now, including the part about bringing Ashes back to life.”

Lan heaved a deep sigh and leaned against the chair. “You can think that way as well, as I don’t want to give you false hopes. I did so because I do want you to trust me.”

Roland fell silent.

For Roland, it was a tough choice to make.

Lan’s argument was quite solid. Roland had indeed heard a lot about the threat to the Dream World from the magic creature. He was certain that these magic creatures aimed to destroy this world. After hearing Lan’s explanation, Roland believed that those creatures were actually God’s “underlings”.

However, he could not trust Lan completely without confirming the validity of the information himself. All the information that Lan had just related to him regarding the potential harm to God was just her version of the story. It might be totally wrong, and Roland could not jump to the conclusion based on false information.

However, he had not enough time to verify himself.

Under such circumstances, the only way was to take risks.

Roland closed his eyes and remembered that Tilly had cried her eyes out that night. He had noticed that the painful loss had dimmed the light in her eyes, as though a gemstone once dazzling was now incubated in a light sheet of dust. Some people maintained that such a change marked spiritual maturity. Only when one truly lost something would he began to cherish what he used to have. Roland dismissed such an absurd theory. A mature person would never allow himself to lose what he cherished and certainly would not let himself wallow in pain.

If he could bring Ashes back to life, he would do everything he could to attain his end.

Roland suppressed his excitement and put up a perturbed look as he sat down again across the table.

“I can’t trust you just yet. I need to hear how you’re going to bring her back to life?”
