"This thing is so heavy!"

Suspended inside the glass jar was a gigantic brain.

This was the brain of an Abomination of Abundance, grown by the Alchemy Commission using special biological cultivation techniques.

The number of nerve nodes within it was more than ten times that of an ordinary brain.

Its volume and mass were also absurdly large.

"Isn't this the time you usually slack off?"

Lord Fu Xuan glanced at Qingque, but ultimately stepped in to help her move this brain into the new Matrix of Prescience Array.

What the Divination Commission was doing now was ultimately somewhat sensitive, even vaguely touching upon the Abundance.

Lord Fu Xuan trusted no one else, willing only to let Qingque participate.

The two of them worked until their backs ached and their bodies were sore, finally installing these brains sent by the Alchemy Commission into the Matrix of Prescience Array.

These hundreds upon hundreds of brains, each larger than a human, suspended in glass jars, appeared exceptionally terrifying.

"Lord Fu Xuan, you really must give me a raise, and compensation for mental distress as well," Qingque said, holding her lower back and unable to refrain from complaining.

"The salary for the position of Master Diviner is not small; why don't you take the job?" Lord Fu Xuan asked, glancing at Qingque.

Qingque hurriedly waved her hands. "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! How could I, Qingque, undertake such an important duty?"

Lord Fu Xuan shook her hand somewhat helplessly, gesturing for Qingque to activate the new Matrix of Prescience Array. "Let us hope the plan you and Her Ladyship the Dragon Maiden devised proves effective..."

"Lord Fu Xuan, what shall we observe first for the test?"

Qingque asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

"Shall we observe the Catastrophe Empire?"

Hearing Qingque's words, the corner of Lord Fu Xuan's eye twitched slightly.

"If you want Luo Fu to die, you can just say it outright."

Hearing this, Qingque offered an awkward smile. "Then shall we first observe the general trends of the universe?"

"That is rather safer," Lord Fu Xuan said, nodding slightly.

Speaking thus, Lord Fu Xuan extended her hand and gently activated the Matrix of Prescience Array.

Qingque carefully adjusted the parameters of the Matrix of Prescience Array from the side.

Those brains began to twitch slightly, and countless torrents of information started surging within the interior of the Matrix of Prescience Array.

Looking at the massive flow of data before her eyes, Lord Fu Xuan's eyes inevitably brightened.

"It actually works!"

"Qingque! You and Her Ladyship the Dragon Maiden have performed a great merit!"

"Your bonus for next month will be doubled! Quickly bring up the calculation results!"

Upon hearing Lord Fu Xuan say her bonus would be doubled, Qingque surprisingly did not show an expression of excitement; instead, her eyebrows knitted together.

"This... how can this be... Lord Fu Xuan, look quickly!"

Noticing Qingque's rather unfavorable expression, Lord Fu Xuan hurriedly closed her eyes to examine the future calculated by the Matrix of Prescience Array.

The universe, a universe where myriad stars twinkled.

Yet within this universe, a hazy spot had appeared.

It was like an oil painting soaked in water, the colors becoming blurred and indistinct.

Moreover, this strange version 2.0 spot was continuously expanding.

It swallowed more and more stars, more and more worlds, and more and more lives into itself.

"Is this... a dream?" Lord Fu Xuan murmured involuntarily.

It was a dream; within the future calculated by the Matrix of Prescience Array...

A fragment of dreamscape was expanding wildly across the universe, dragging everything into it.

Even...

Lord Fu Xuan saw the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou; the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou was also entangled by that strangely expanding dreamscape and dragged into it.

Even with General Jing Yuan controlling the Divine General, he was powerless to stop it...

"Why has it become like this?! What has happened?"

Lord Fu Xuan murmured involuntarily.

She gathered her spirit and concentrated her qi, looking toward the direction where the dreamscape began to expand...

"Is this... Penacony?"

122. 【Quickly give the Zhushenbang Gang a hand!】

Lord Fu Xuan looked at the scene before her with slight astonishment.

Within the future predicted by the Matrix of Prescience Array, centered on Penacony, a magnificent and brilliant dreamscape was silently expanding.

This dreamscape was like tentacles, sticky and slippery, rolling star after star and world after world into its belly.

Hundreds of millions of living beings entered this dream together; countless streams of thought—some dark and twisted, some bright and dazzling—intertwined and lingered within, mixing into a mass of pitch blackness.

Lord Fu Xuan involuntarily licked her lips.

She felt immense terror within that dream.

It was some uncanny existence hidden within the abyss of memory substance, licking the dream world.

It was something darker than darkness, more twisted than distortion.

It was the sediment of all gloomy memories within the hearts of the hundreds of millions of lives dragged into the dream...

Lord Fu Xuan vaguely felt that continuing to observe might bring danger.

But...

Points of luster burst forth from the Dharma Eye between Lord Fu Xuan's eyebrows, as if myriad stars were flowing within it.

To spare the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou from the crisis of falling into dreams, she had to examine carefully,

what exactly lurked within this Penacony...

Within Lord Fu Xuan's Dharma Eye, the scenery inside Penacony gradually came into reflection.....

A dream, a twisted and sedimented dream, hard as onyx, brilliant as a crown of myriad stars,

the wills of hundreds of millions of living beings linked together, forming layer by layer of chains to bind Him within the dreamscape.....

That tri-faced animated celestial body, the Mother Goddess who gathers the wills of stars, that Aeon who fuses the collective will...

That spirit hanging by silken threads, that eye scrutinizing all things, that fallen Aeon...

Lord Fu Xuan saw it,

in the deepest depths of the Penacony dreamscape, within an abyss rippling with psychic power,

two Aeons were being restrained by chains composed of immense psychic power, trapped within the dreamscape,

the concepts upon their bodies were also being stripped away, shaved off, and extracted layer by layer.

"Imprisoning Aeons?!"

Lord Fu Xuan was dumbfounded; what kind of madman would actually imprison an Aeon.

Lord Fu Xuan suddenly noticed that beneath the two imprisoned Aeons, a human figure loomed faintly,

and Lord Fu Xuan could not help but look toward that figure...

"This is....."

Lord Fu Xuan saw the face of that figure clearly and began searching her mind for this person's identity,

"The head of the Oak Family of Penacony, Sunday?"

Lord Fu Xuan knitted her brows tightly,

she had seen Sunday's face in intelligence reports, but he in the Matrix of Prescience Array's divination...

his originally handsome face had become twisted and aged, as if he had experienced millions of years,

blood vessels on his face bulged grotesquely like entangled tree roots, and faintly, two other faces seemed to be growing out from his cheeks,

his lower body had been almost entirely eroded by the dreamscape, leaving only two arms hidden beneath tattered clothing,

the rest consisted of twisted tentacles formed from beautiful memory substance, the ends of these tentacles holding countless threads that connected to the hundreds of millions of living beings within the dreamscape.

? Suddenly, Sunday moved,

he stiffly twisted his head, and those pale, cataract-clouded eyes suddenly looked toward Lord Fu Xuan,

"!!!"

Lord Fu Xuan suddenly felt her heart spasm with a stabbing pain; a massive attractive force surged forth, intending to drag her into the dreamscape as well,

in a daze, Lord Fu Xuan seemed to see the End of Samsara floating behind Sunday, watching her with a smile on its lips.
