Before facing that spirit in the Hall of Dreams, Li En found no answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li En!! A divine domain suddenly descended these past few days—are you alright!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talia S Daer  appeared out of nowhere, speaking rapidly, brimming with anxiety and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine domain? Only through Talia S Daer ’s explanation did Li En finally understand what had happened these past days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the “lost three days” had been confirmed—without anyone’s awareness, they had simply lived through three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had been verified by caravans and outsiders—all life within this region had been drawn into this sudden event, without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A divine domain can be seen as part of a god’s realm; typically, it’s an attribute of a deity, and deities theoretically cannot descend to the mortal world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Li En confirmed it was his fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had pulled down a fragment of a deity, and the “divine rules” leaking from it had utterly warped the rules of this region, dragging everyone into this “game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The god of fire’s divine domain was filled with flame and lava; the sea god’s was brimming with water and marine life—both fatal to ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the one Li En pulled down was the “god of drama and merriment”—everyone merely participated in a wild, unrestrained carnival they could not remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That doesn’t make sense,” Li En understood, yet felt even more uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gained some understanding of Spirit Cards—those “Li Ensu” were all deceased; what was awakened were merely the software data of “memories” and “knowledge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ran through him as hardware, creating a kind of “virtual machine” effect—except for rare exceptions, they were not true resurrections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, these beings were merely echoes of the spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how could a dead, resurrected ghost—a piece of “data”—carry a divine domain and divine power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power required to plunge an entire city into three full days of revelry, leaving most with no memory or awareness afterward, was absurdly immense—it equated to large-scale reality alteration, self-perception modification, collective memory manipulation, and self-defined domain rules. Seemingly minor damage, yet it consumed divine power of an extremely high tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destruction is simpler than creation; correcting an entire city into an absurd state and then restoring it is infinitely harder than destroying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this deity still be alive? Is His divine realm still functioning? But that makes no sense—I drew Him, so He should be dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ensu exists as one and only one—this is determined by the uniqueness of the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this deity is dead, how could His divine domain and realm still function? That makes no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the information Li En currently had, he could not comprehend this situation at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this be the result of Lex’s Weigui  operation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can’t be that drawing any deity triggers this—what if someone drew the fire god and opened the door to a nuclear explosion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En vaguely sensed the source of the anomaly—it was likely Lex’s special manipulation that caused this problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Li En’s current state was not “divine possession”—it was “Fiestrion” possessing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Card now in Li En’s hand was no longer the eerie six-armed, two-faced Buddha figurine, but a lute-playing minstrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fiestrion (One-Third Spirit）】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Li En felt this spirit’s power was weak, and its presence notably thin—he was clearly incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps only by meeting face-to-face on the Dream Stage could he learn the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Talia S Daer ’s anxious reflection in the mirror, Li En was puzzled—after such a massive event, you should be busy—why are you rushing to find me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—divine domain, divine power... uh, Talia S Daer , you don’t still have memories, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Not a single memory!” Talia S Daer  panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En fell silent, recalling yesterday’s absurdity, nodding repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, no memories—not yours, not mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best defense against divine power is divine power itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the “source,” Li En naturally had some resistance—he likely regained partial sanity the next day, and full clarity by the third.\u003C\u002Fp>",700,"2026-06-19T21:45:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b182a8acb813047307facf5f5db825e44c4420692c14dfc44a242c9ead1279f2","the-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-chapter-307","the-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-chapter-305",362,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-cover.jpg"]
