Chapter 90: The Spirit World and the Mask

~7 min read 1,278 words

After experimenting with the abilities of a 'Light Bearer' for a while, Aaron stopped his movements.

A mere 'Foundation Stone' Extraordinary who has only opened the First Primordial Substance is indeed nothing to boast about.

His physique has not gained much enhancement, and he could still die if hit in a vital spot by firearms or sharp blades.

In this situation, even reaching the Second or Third Primordial Substance would not change much.

"Fortunately, I have the ability of divination; otherwise, I would be tied up and restricted in everything I do..."

"Since I have already become an official Extraordinary, then..."

Aaron's expression became solemn, and he used a ritual to seal the entire bedroom.

Immediately, he chanted in a low voice in 'Spirit World Language':

"The Creator above the Creator!"

"The Absolute Observer located behind the multiple veils!"

"The Spirit of Delusion wandering in the unknown, the Absolutely Neutral Existence, the Silent Observer!"

This is the most accurate honorific name that only Aaron knows!

"The Creator above the Creator!"

After less than a few seconds, Aaron's eardrums stung, and he heard a faint prayer.

He gritted his teeth and chose to respond and communicate.

Boom—!

The next moment, his perspective rose, as if his soul had left his body, appearing above his physical head, watching his own body sitting motionless with eyes closed.

"Finally... succeeded!"

"Summoning myself, communicating with myself!"

Aaron's consciousness, or rather his Spirit Body, nodded: "At this moment, my physical body is equivalent to believers like Lin in the past, so I can directly infuse Mysterious energy, clear the pollution, and keep the me who walks the Mysterious path rational... This is a huge trump card!"

He then felt his Spirit Body and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The savings of a thousand years are completely gone; it seems they were all invested in maintaining the stability of the dream world and its fusion with the real world... Fortunately, it is now complete, and it is still accumulating at a rate of one unit per day..."

Aaron looked at his body and suddenly chanted an incantation in Spirit World Language.

It came from the teachings of Clark Das and is the key for an Extraordinary to enter the Dream Realm.

The translated content is also very simple, which is—'The dream is opened by the heart'!

"Low-rank Extraordinaries need to use a ritual to leave their bodies and then use an incantation to open the door to enter the Dream Realm... and finally enter in the form of a Spirit Body..."

Aaron muttered, feeling a kind of attraction.

"Sure enough... I just lost the coordinate of the dream world before... After regaining it with the incantation, I won't have to be so troublesome in the future."

His Spirit Body took a step forward and disappeared into the void.

The dream world.

No, at this time it should be called the Spirit World, Dream Realm, Light Realm, or Ether Realm.

The sky was gray, and the earth appeared ethereal.

Not far away was a black forest, the twisted branches carrying a kind of weird beauty, like palms reaching toward the sky.

In the pitch-black forest, there were also some creatures that looked like tadpoles swimming in the air.

They were translucent, emitting a faint glow.

"Lin, Olivia..."

Aaron muttered in a low voice, suddenly feeling a sense of desolation: "Back then... due to the war of the Divinities, the dream world was almost destroyed... Even though I grafted it onto the real world, becoming the source of the Mysterious in reality, has the whole world still inevitably become the Spirit World..."

Clearly, the humans, animals, and life forms of this world... have probably all perished.

Even if their descendants still exist, they have long since changed their life forms, turning into various strange—Spirit World Creatures!

And in the Dream Realm, time and space also become different.

Walking forward might be walking backward, and walking to the left might turn into walking to the right.

It also has a different time flow from reality, making it a very dangerous place.

Powerful Spirit World Creatures, all kinds of forbidden knowledge, dangerous regions, and even... perhaps a glance cast by the Divinities, are all enough to be fatal for low-rank Extraordinaries!

Aaron scanned the Dream Realm, looked up at the sky, did not see the Chunbaitaiyang and the Crimson Moon, couldn't help but sneer, and chose to exit.

Inside the bedroom.

Aaron opened his eyes, and also felt a bit desolate: "The Light of Redemption... should no longer exist, right..."

"They might have had contact with Extraordinaries who wandered the Spirit World in the past, which is why the Ethereal Sect was born in reality... But this is useless; no matter how glorious and powerful a group is, without the protection of a Hidden Existence, it will still fade away in the long river of history."

"Even now, being able to communicate with myself, I still cannot figure out the essence of my Golden Finger... In fact, the more I know, the more lost I feel..."

"However, one thing is still clear: the status of my body and the status of my Spirit Body are too far apart, which is not a good thing..."

"Therefore, I must continue to advance in the real world, open more Primordial Substances, and make my body continuously stronger, only then will it be possible to fully master the status of the Spirit Body!"

"For now, let's leave it at that..."

He packed up the ritual tools, came to the dressing mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, rubbed his face, and smiled: "Hello, Aaron, hello, future!"

Regarding the plan for the future, in addition to continuous advancement, Aaron was also secretly making preparations in his heart.

"When out and about, a disguise is very important; only by preparing more masks can one be prepared for danger... My public identity is an unidentified traveler named 'Aaron Yugesi'!"

"This identity is easily exposed; Invis still has an identity verification system, and my previous experience is also a blank slate... This is the biggest point of suspicion."

"At the same time, the characteristic of purple eyes cannot be eliminated, which may arouse suspicion, so I can also be a descendant of the Sotos Family... named by a father who crazily worshipped his ancestors with the same name as the Green Forest Earl, possessing incomplete Extraordinary heritage, hoping to restore the glory of the family!"

This is better than the exposure of the Green Forest Earl's true identity, otherwise it would definitely attract the attention of the entire Extraordinary world, and a large number of powerhouses would gather like dogs, which the current Aaron cannot handle.

Although pretending to be my own grandson and such is somewhat lacking in integrity, Aaron is still just a weak, pitiful, and helpless First Primordial Substance 'Light Bearer' at this moment, so he cannot afford to care about that much.

"Of course, if these two masks fall off, then I am the true Aaron Sotos, an ancient person from a millennium ago, a Legend inventor, a founder of Occultism, and I can also be a worshiper of the Spirit of Falsehood... using this to cover up the truly important mask—the Spirit of Falsehood himself!"

"And beneath the mask of the Spirit of Falsehood, I am still the greatest mastermind on the Mysterious side, the Creator above the Creator!"

"Behind the mask of the Creator, I am also a transmigrator..."

Aaron counted his masks and actually felt a bit dizzy: "When did I start accumulating so many masks and identities? One layer beneath another, who is this meant to trap to death?"
