Chapter 311: Weikena's Location

In the spacious great hall, within Naimi Xisi's massive dragon claw, an old, plain book appeared.

Naimi Xisi looked at the book in his claw with a complicated expression; it was a Shadow Secret tome obtained from an unnamed tomb.

He has never dared to delve into this power, precisely because he fears it would involve the legendary Saar who controls all shadows.

For top‑tier Monsters of the Multiverse like them, some unwritten rules are obvious.

Which deities can be tainted and which cannot. Naimi Xisi knows this perfectly.

And Saar is one of the red lines that must never be touched.

Holding this thought, Naimi Xisi, since acquiring the book up to now, has not learned any of the Shadow Secrets within it.

Even after he sensed that recent events were too coincidental, merely keeping the book made his heart race with fear.

If Tianyu Realm were not a highly unique world, with a transcendent being forbidding any divine power from meddling in the mortal realm, Naimi Xisi would have long ago tossed the book into the heavens.

But now it is different; Naimi Xisi now strongly suspects that the book, along with the chance to enter that half‑plane, is being influenced by another deity.

He now desperately wants to verify this notion.

It is not that his curiosity is excessive, but that he is seeking an escape for his own life.

If his speculation is wrong, and there is no third deity, then entering the half‑plane is purely coincidence. He would die before believing it.

That would mean Saar has been noticing him from the beginning, and for some reason has started to guide him.

If so, Naimi Xisi will abandon everything in the material world, immediately implore Ou Ge Ma to connect him to the Hall of Knowledge, even if it means becoming Ou Ge Ma's elect.

Because he knows very clearly that once he becomes the core of some Saar conspiracy, his ultimate fate will be worse than death.

This is the lesson brought by the "Saar Victim" who has been ravaged by shadows across the vast Multiverse.

This is a completely different concept from becoming a blocker of Saar's plan, a completely unrelated intruder.

Therefore, he wants to test what position he actually occupies in this deity's scheme.

He slowly opened the book smaller than a fingernail, choosing one of the Shadow Secrets from the first page's segment.

【Iron Shadow Technique】.

A spell that forms a hard physical shield using shadow energy.

He took a deep breath and began deciphering the formula model. With his now extraordinary intellect, this simple Shadow Secret was fully mastered within a few minutes.

Naimi Xisi gently summoned his mana, and in an instant, shadow energy surged from an unnamed void, forming a black shield that surrounded him.

He stared at the book, lowered his eyes and whispered, "If you truly exist, now is the best time for you to manifest."

Seemingly hearing his request, the edge of the paper seeped black liquid that curled like mercury into characters. Naimi Xisi's pupils widened sharply, but the script was eerily almost unfamiliar:

"Shadows have been tainted with madness; a distant otherworld will descend from the past."

Just as Naimi Xisi was stunned, a coin slipped out from between the pages.

He looked at the design on it and felt only absurdity.

The coin's obverse bore a woman's portrait, the reverse a warship.

It was a 25‑cent coin popular in the United States during the 1980s, featuring Queen Elizabeth II on the front and a warship from the American Revolutionary era on the back.

It is a United States coin from the 1980s.

What the hell is this? Why would something from Earth appear here, in a Shadow Secret tome?

When his fingertip touched the coin, a sharp ringing pierced his mind.

In a daze, she saw under the blood‑red sky of a reverse world an identical coin standing at the edge of a crack, its shadow forming a string of coordinates: 47°09'48.6"N 88°34'06.7"W.

"Hawkins Town…" he murmured, and a rustling page‑turn sound suddenly rose at his ear. The silver script was fading, and the final warning floated like smoke:

"Do not let Him hear."

Naimi Xisi snapped back to awareness, his expression complex.

He understood the coin's significance. It was not the Earth of his past life, but the Earth where Eleven resides, the Crystal Barrier System linked to the Falling Shadow Netherworld.

He just didn't know why Weikena was there.

"Awaken me… release me… I will take revenge…"

The voice echoed in his mind, and Naimi Xisi now understood why Arthur Leike had searched for years without finding any trace of his worshiped deity.

It turned out the other party had long been sealed on Earth.

More shocking, although the voice did not explicitly state who it sought revenge against, Naimi Xisi vaguely guessed the target.

It was probably Saar.

"Tsk"

The enemy's enemy is a friend.

Naimi Xisi has decided; he has taken on this Weikena deity's affection.

First, it gave him a Shadow Secret tome, then granted him a half‑plane for its own elect, and also provided an original Legendary Divination spell.

!

Saar is again in an antagonistic state with him.

Naimi Xisi truly cannot think of a reason not to help Weikena.

He has already guessed that once he follows Mistra's words and inserts himself, that Shadow goddess will certainly not let him go.

Even if he does not leave the Crystal Barrier System, the other side will likely cause his followers to launch wave after wave of assassinations and conspiracies.

Rather than being passively beaten, it is better to strike proactively.

If Weikena is truly released to trouble Saar, the other side probably won't have the energy to pay attention to his little dragon.

Moreover, this must be done before a direct clash with Soul‑Shadow City.

If Saar notices him, his departure from Tianyu Realm would become extremely dangerous. Soul‑Shadow City's current target is the Urmu that Saar craves; once they clash, the other side will surely also focus on him.

However, he does not know how much time this journey will take.

In five days, the vampire queen of the capital will perform the ritual to erect the labyrinthine "Eternal Night Veil"; if he leaves now, few forces in the kingdom could stand against a legendary vampire grand duke.

Thinking of this, he summoned Kelite and Luosilien, his two dependents, and began to discuss with them.

"Master, I think that given the current situation, for your safety you must temporarily abandon the plan to go to the royal capital and first finish this—um—seal-breaking plan for the unknown god." After hearing all the information, Luosilien sighed.

Naimi Xisi frowned and said: "I certainly understand, but if we do that, the kingdom forces I painstakingly built will likely be destroyed within these few days."

"Once the Eternal Night Curtain is completed, that queen will likely incite the vampires within the realm to launch a massacre."

Kelite suddenly interjected: "What if we prevent her from completing it in five days? Wouldn't that work?"

The two looked at her, seemingly waiting for her to continue.

Kelite explained: "The Eternal Night Curtain the queen wants to build requires an obelisk made of pure mithril, which is enormously costly."

"Even with the domestic supply plus that of the Underdark Drow, there is still a huge shortfall at present."

"Recently, the queen, in the king's name, invited the Sai Er people and, at a very high price, obtained the final batch of mithril needed to fill the shortfall in Sai Er."

"But the Sai Er have not yet delivered this batch of mithril."

"If we could—" Kelite hadn't finished speaking when Luosilien interrupted: "Stop them from completing the transaction!"

"Exactly. That way, the queen would have to rely on the Drow to slowly trade mithril to maintain progress, and we would also get a chance to breathe."
