A month and a half… means that if the plan is temporarily suspended or canceled, there is a possibility of missing this deadline forever.

Can the people on the floating island really hold out without him?

And what about the demon side? Will the fragile agreement with the Lord of the Celestial Dome be broken if Valkyries's connection is lost?

Not to mention the specific entry methods for Tianhai Realm and the Bottomless Abyss entrenched on Misty Island.

Damn it, if only these messages could be sent out! Luo Lan's mind raced, trying to find a way out of this predicament, but he couldn't come up with a feasible solution for a long time. Unlike any crisis in the past, this time, even if he eliminated the divine envoy in front of him, he would not be able to fundamentally reverse the situation.

Luo Lan vaguely realized that this was no longer something that could be solved by one person alone.

“I… don’t understand.”

He said after a long silence, “At first, you regarded me as a destroyer that had to be destroyed, just because the dream world threatened the rules set by the gods, even exaggerating to the point that it would destroy millions of years of accumulation. But now you’re reversing course and want to help me enter the realm of the gods—did those accumulations suddenly become worthless?”

“What’s even more ridiculous is that if the gods can make the dream world disappear at any time, why didn’t they do it from the beginning? Don’t tell me they have compassion!” Luo Lan became more and more angry, and his tone continued to rise, “Countless races have slaughtered each other in the name of divine will until they were destroyed, leaving nothing but weathered bones and ruins. What accumulation is there to speak of!”

“And you—Ipsilon, since you plan to betray the gods, why not do it more thoroughly? Lan is trying to break free from her shackles, so what about you? If you just want to ask for an answer, I don’t mind taking one more person to the realm of the gods—you can ask the gods as many questions as you want then!”

“Saying inexplicable things and doing incomprehensible things, is this the characteristic of those who claim to be gods and divine envoys? It's simply not as good as a mortal! At least a mortal will clearly know what he wants!”

However, Ipsilon was not angry at all.

She was not like the divine envoys of the past, who became particularly sensitive and excited when it came to the issue of the gods. She even showed a look of understanding after listening to Luo Lan’s words.

The divine envoy walked step by step to Luo Lan, the distance between the two was only one body length.

“The fact that you can ask these questions proves that you are only one step away from the answer.”

This distance could not be considered a safety line for either Ipsilon or Luo Lan, but the other party didn't seem to care.

“However, if you don’t take that step, being so close is equivalent to being infinitely far away.” She looked up at Luo Lan, “The reason why the gods are great is only in what they have done, not in how many people know about it. Moreover, the differences between civilizations will lead to completely different concepts and insights, so it is normal that you cannot understand. Also, unlike Lan, I have never betrayed the gods, please remember that.”

“Finally, if you are ready, you can take that step now—” As she said this, Ipsilon slowly reached out and grabbed Luo Lan's arm, placing it on her chest.

“What are you doing?” Luo Lan reflexively withdrew his hand.

“Isn’t it obvious—to obtain the Astrolabe and ultimately make the dream world intersect with the realm of the gods? You should be very familiar with this process.” Ipsilon said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with her, “The demonized ones and the Erosion Demonic Body outside all come from my hand, and their cores have been closely connected. When you absorb the Astrolabe, their magic power will also be incorporated into this world. Such vast power is enough to make the dream world expand again, completing this final step. At that time, the overlapping realms of consciousness will become a new erosion, but this time, it is the dream world invading the realm of the gods, and you—will face the gods directly.”

“Wait,” Luo Lan stared at the other party in surprise, “Isn't the divine envoy able to survive by relying on this group of magic power? If you lose the Astrolabe—”

“I will die.” Ipsilon laughed, “But that is just death in your concept. As a part of the gods, as long as they do not perish, we will exist forever. What disappears is only the individual named Ipsilon.”

“Even so, you can still hear the answer?”

“No… Asking is enough.”

As she said these words, she closed her five fingers and suddenly stabbed into her chest, then pulled out a dazzling blue vortex of stars!

The splashing blood even stained Luo Lan’s face.

“Cough cough… Receive it, and then enter the realm of the gods—everything you want to know… cough… will be found there.”

“You…” Luo Lan was stunned, he didn’t expect this raid to turn out like this. But now that things have come to this, hesitation is meaningless. If what the other party said is true, from the moment the barrier was raised, the flow of time in the real world has greatly exceeded that of the dream world, even if the divine envoy dies and the barrier is lifted, it will be a month and a half later.

The only thing he can do is to trust everyone on the floating island.

Thinking of this, Luo Lan took a deep breath and grabbed the Astrolabe.

The blue light became brighter and brighter, as if burning the last bit of strength. As if stimulated, the heat flow in his body also surged wildly. In this extraordinarily dazzling glow, he looked at the divine envoy with blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

“I want to ask you one last question—do you think the destruction of the world is inevitable?”

“Yes… unless you can… defeat the gods,” Ipsilon’s voice was very weak, “But the gods cannot be defeated, this is… a predetermined ending from the beginning.”

“But you still changed your initial decision!”

“You… have worked so hard for so long, you shouldn’t disappear without knowing anything… being able to reach the distance of one step away… is worthy of praise in itself.” Ipsilon coughed out another mouthful of bloody phlegm, barely squeezing out a smile, “Since the ending of destruction… is already destined, why should I… do unnecessary things again?”

“This is not what you really feel.” Luo Lan stared into her eyes and said word by word, “Lan wants to break free from her shackles, and you want to find an answer—I don’t know what is binding her, and I don’t know what questions you want to ask the gods, but one thing I am sure of is that you both want to change, right! Because you have the same look in your eyes—”

“Sorry… that’s the second question…” Ipsilon smiled and closed her eyes, and just as the intensity of the blue light rose to its peak, she slightly opened and closed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but before Luo Lan could take a closer look, the dazzling light swallowed everything.
