“And Omar... hasn’t been here for revenge even once over the past ten thousand years... Is it afraid of me? Or has it forgotten?”
It was absolutely possible since most of the Outer Gods were a fusion of chaos.
In other words, they had no human personality and were completely incomprehensible.
Of course, it was also possible that something else had attracted its attention.
“Moreover... Omar’s use of the Uyguklais was such a waste...”
Fang Yuan could deduce from Morigu Tata’s reports that this race had expanded to many planets and had even started the exploration of the galaxies in a short period of ten thousand years.
Obviously, in addition to their individual combat strength, their research ability was the true treasure.
An Outer God of Chaos and Madness could not hope to unleash their fullest potential.
“However, it seems like there are special existences among the Outer Gods that can grant the wise ones and scholars unpopular knowledge and techniques... They form the so-called ‘chaos technology’, though Omar is obviously not among them...”
Fang Yuan let go of his perception slightly when he returned to the real world.
He could immediately sense it when a person recited his Outer God’s true name.
And right now, he had enhanced his senses to such calls. He could sense those sacrifices and rituals as long as they were vaguely directed to him.
Suddenly, a ton of information flooded him.
“Oh Great Master...”
“The serpent from the Astral World, the Rainbow Snake...”
“Unknown existence, please bestow power unto me...”
...
“Most of them are Uyguklais, but there are a small number of aliens who are praying to a so-called Astral Serpent, Rainbow Snake... Did Omar spread it? That was just a rainbow channel...”
Fang Yuan was dumbfounded.
Most of them wanted to obtain power and knowledge or to fight against forces of evil such as Omar.
“I wonder who spread the information about my enmity with Omar. The Uyguklais? It could be that White Light as well...”
A strong prayer arrived at that moment. “... Jörmungandr Frein... Jörmungandr Frein... Jörmungandr Frein...”
“Someone is reciting my true name. It might be lacking, but it’s the closest. It’s very far, not within the range that the Uyguklais could reach. Looks like White Light spread it... However, the one praying is actually...”
Fang Yuan’s spiritual will reached within moments to a blue planet in the Sagittarius Galaxy.
In a secret room, a white young man with blond hair, a pale complexion, and about twenty years old was performing a ritual with six lit candles.
A pentagon was depicted on the ground, and each sharp corner had a sacrificial offering on it—from the eyes of a toad to vermouth, a few feathers, unknown blood, and a remnant page.
“Eagle feathers, I command you to make my soul lighter...
“Vermouth, witch’s wine, sacrificial wine, let me see reality clearly...
“I pray to you, Jörmungandr Frein...”
...
Vincent Gun chanted the incantation repeatedly. He then soaked the toad’s eyes in the vermouth and swallowed them.
All of this was in strict accordance with Sen Luo’s description on the remnant page.
He was not a member of a cult, but he was undoubtedly very interested in everything. He had even participated in a secret society that worshiped ghouls during high school and dug graves.
However, Vincent had left the society promptly when he realized that the leader’s ritual could not revive the dead.
He chose to major in archaeology at university. After graduation, he became a professional, traveling around the world and conducting archaeological activities.
Finally, all the hard work had paid off during an exploration of the Mandala.
The Mandala were an ancient tribe dwelling in a tropical rainforest. It was said that they retained their custom of cannibalism. Vincent obtained a page after a near-death experience, and according to his investigations, it should be from the famous ‘Sen Luo’s Book of Vientiane’ from the history of the Mandala!
It was said that this book was co-authored by the most famous wizards in the tropical rainforest of that time, and it described many incredible spells and rituals. It even had the secrets of the Ancients who ruled the planet in ancient times.
It was a pity that Sen Luo’s Book of Vientiane was long lost, and Vincent had only obtained one page from it.
On it was this summoning ritual. It was said that the ancient wizards used this ritual to communicate with the legendary Gods of the Dream World.
As someone passionate about the occult, Vincent enacted the ritual right after he deciphered it.
As the ritual proceeded, he seemed to be a little dizzy and could barely stand up. “One last step!”
This communication ritual required a secret room with a spiral staircase. Vincent descended slowly, still chanting the incantation.
The vertigo in his brain grew stronger as he continued.
Finally, Vincent lost his footing and fell with a scream.
“Ahh!!!”
He shrieked and sat up, as though he just emerged from a nightmare.
His surroundings changed abruptly, and everything seemed to be covered by a gray mist.
“You will be able to step into the Dream World once you walk down the spiral staircase after completing the ritual...” Vincent murmured with ecstasy on his face. “It’s true! The rumors were true! The Ancients who ruled the planet really existed!”
He explored the Dream World like a curious newborn.
“According to the legend of the Mandala, the Gods of the Dream World were the color of jade and had the body of a plant. They could give the wizards the magic techniques of manipulating plants, creating illusions, and revitalizing corpses...”
Vincent was puzzled by the lack of jade-colored trees in the Dream World.
The next moment, his pupils grew huge as he saw...
“I responded to the nearly right true name. Are you looking for the followers that I’ve influenced?”
Fang Yuan emerged from the Dream World and watched with interest this little guy who did not know if he was lucky or the reverse.
His thoughts moved, and Vincent’s memories from birth to present flashed vividly in front of him.
“Planet Stael, Carls Federation... ships, cars, sailing...”
Vincent hailed from Planet Stael, a normal planet within the Sagittarius Galaxy. Their level of technology was roughly between the first industrial revolution and the second energy revolution. Their steam technology had matured, and there were rudimentary power facilities. However, without the power of computers and the internet, it was naturally impossible to develop aerospace technology to discover other life forms.
But overall, this level of technology was considered rather advanced among the planets populated with humans in the Sagittarius Galaxy.
After all, some planets were still at the stage of cannibalism or ancient city-states.
“Interesting! Interesting!” Fang Yuan had a smile in his eyes. “Vincent... state your wish!”
Vincent could not see, but he answered wholeheartedly, “I want to be ‘extraordinary’ and have the power to explore the ancient secrets of this planet!”
The reason he was alive even though he was a normal being facing an Outer God was all because of Fang Yuan.
“You deserve this! As compensation for viewing your memories...” Fang Yuan nodded and snapped his fingers.
Smack!
The Dream World shattered in that instant.
In fact, he did not give the other party any abilities proactively, but after seeing him, Vincent was automatically influenced by the Outer God, like spiritual radiation.
From then on, his psyche would become more active, enabling him to easily come into contact with various extraordinary powers. Some extraordinary abilities might even awaken within him.
Of course, there were risks for an ordinary human to master these powers all of a sudden.
If Fang Yuan had not been deliberately restraining the contamination, Vincent would have already become a monster at this time.
“Hopefully, he has a strong enough will to control the gradual increase in his strength...”
In the Arita World, Fang Yuan sighed.
It was but a trivial matter. He sighed and did not take it to heart after that.
On the contrary, he was now very interested in Planet Stael.
This universe had many strange races, but Fang Yuan’s aesthetic senses still preferred the Sagittarius Galaxy.
“Morigu Tata!” Fang Yuan made a swift decision. “Prepare a spaceship. I’m going to the Sagittarius Galaxy!”
He had the intention of sightseeing on the way. Otherwise, he could have just landed directly on Planet Stael.
“I’m in this universe to recuperate anyway, and I only need to crack the secrets behind the Eyeball of Destruction and the realm after Dao Fruit. Time has no meaning to me...”
Fang Yuan was lost in his thought as he took out the black eyeball and Omar’s Book of Flesh with the vertical pupil.
“Seems like this eyeball isn’t only interested in the Book of Flesh, but also in the power of the Outer Gods of this entire universe...”
“Your desire will be fulfilled. Furthermore, please allow me to go together with you!” Morigu Tata said in a respectful tone.
“Hmm, of course...” Fang Yuan could not be bothered to operate the spaceship himself.
Suddenly, he just could not help but smile after thinking of something.
How strong would a Uyguklai be on Planet Stael?
The man-eating wizards of the ancient Mandala worshiped the Uyguklais as the Gods of the Dream World!
“Although their technology might be advancing and various weapons of mass destruction are emerging in an endless stream, they would probably need to activate their armies and bathe the entire place in artillery fire to defeat a Uyguklai?” Fang Yuan pondered.
“Moreover, the Uyguklais know nothing but to work hard, over and above the limits of their technological strength...”
