Chapter 193 Broken Dream
The Dream Weaver's palace was very quiet, even eerily quiet.

Perhaps because it was a closed palace, there was not even a black beast inside, nor was there any dust.

But the rotten smell made Rhodes conclude that no one had been here for a long time.

It made him wonder.

What happened in the first place that caused the Dream Weaver to close the palace and not see anyone, and even not notice such a big change in the city?

"It's too quiet. Could something suddenly pop up?" Augula was frightened and kept looking around.

Inside the empty palace, in addition to murals and statues, there are also many broken giant spider eggs. They look eerie and terrifying, and can only be barely seen through the glowing gems inlaid on the walls.

They didn't know how long they had walked, but it felt like they had passed through the palace and entered the interior of the giant tree, with no sign of reaching the end.

"Has the Dream Weaver left?" Rhodes muttered softly.

But when he looked back again, he found that Augla and the others had disappeared, and the road he came from had turned into a wall without him knowing when.

Oops!

Rhodes was startled and raised his hands to put on several layers of shields, adding the power of giant rocks and wind dance to his body.

But at this moment.

The scene in front of me quickly changed from the palace to an endless expanse of charred land.

Dozens of meters away, an unclear figure, sitting on the back of a large white spider, slowly passed by.

"Unfortunately, we are still a step too late. This plane is also broken. Where do you think we should go next, Spider?"

"Shasha~"

"Haha, I forgot that you can't speak. Don't be sad. Just keep going. We will eventually find a plane that has not been polluted. How about we settle down there?"

"Shashasha~"

"I knew you would agree. Once we find a place, we'll build a very big new home. Then you can build a nest in it and give birth to a bunch of spider babies. You won't have to flee everywhere like you do now."

"..."

"What? You have to come up with the name for our new home? Okay, okay, let's call it Dream Forest. I'll raise some animals then, so you won't feel lonely and homesick..."

The sound of the conversation gradually faded away until it disappeared, as if Rhodes had not been seen.

There was dead silence.

Not to mention living things, not even a blade of grass can be seen. The situation is similar to the forest in the dream.

and also.

That person seemed to have mentioned the Dream Forest just now?

Rhodes looked puzzled, but before he could think about it, the scene in front of him changed again, and he came to a plain full of vitality.

"Haha, I found it! There really is an uncontaminated plane! Xiao Meng, come and take a look!"

The blurry figure just now appeared again riding a spider not far away, cheering and shouting.

However, the spider under him had grown a lot bigger and could even speak. Its densely packed compound eyes glanced at the figure.

"Look how happy you are. Don't let it be like the previous dimension, where it was over soon and we had to move overnight."

"No." The man's voice was extremely firm. "I can feel that the divine power in my body is beginning to gather. This time I will definitely be able to protect this plane. When the time comes, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. But you are too ugly, so don't run out and scare people with your original body in the future."

"Tsk, you don't know how to appreciate it. You've been saying this for years. Do you think I believe it? How about I make up a beautiful dream for you tonight. There will be everything in the dream, and I can even change the time. You can do it as long as you want."

"It's okay if you don't believe me. When I become a god, I will definitely make your dream come true. Let's see if you can still argue with me..."

Swish!
The screen turns again.

The sounds of their quarrel disappeared, and the sky became dark and depressing.

The emerald-colored sky mixed with the black sky and the boundless black earth startled Rhodes.

"Dreamwood!"

That's right.

At this moment, he returned to the dream forest again.

He was just standing on top of a huge black tree, looking down.

The man's figure had disappeared, leaving only a giant spider like a behemoth and its densely packed spider offspring, all looking into the distance.

Wailing and screaming echoed throughout the forest, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar.

Rhodes looked in the direction of the sound and saw a holy white jade tree standing between the sky, emitting an incomparably brilliant light of life.

"Life...should not decay!"

The desolate cry was deafening, and the sacred white jade tree quickly dissipated, turning into streams of light that fell into every corner of the dream forest.

And one of them fell on the location of the Moon Goddess altar.

Then the giant spider raised its front limbs, and countless souls gathered from all directions.

At the same time, a large amount of black air poured into its body, and its originally pure white body was gradually dyed black, but there was no sign of stopping.

"You will come back again, right?"

At this moment, a whispering sound was heard, and the giant spider suddenly turned around and looked towards where Rhodes was standing.

Then the picture shattered into countless pieces.

When Rhodes came to his senses, he found himself standing in a huge palace, and the giant spider had turned into a terrifying black figure.

"Crash-"

The sound of chains dragging could be heard.

Rhodes was shocked and looked at the compound eyes that were staring at him in horror, and backed away repeatedly.

It was not until then that he realized that he had arrived in a closed palace without knowing when.

Chains connected the pillars, tightly binding a giant spider that was a hundred meters tall. Magical light spread throughout the entire palace, suppressing the power of the giant spider.

When the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him overlapped with the spider he had just seen, Rhodes opened his mouth wide.

"Dream Weaver!"

That's right!

The one who appeared before him was none other than the most mysterious demigod under the Moon Goddess, the Dream Weaver!
Rhodes never expected that he would meet the legendary Dream Weaver in this way.

What they didn't expect was that the huge monster in front of them, which was completely black and contaminated by black soil, was actually the demigod they had been searching for!

"how so……"

Rhodes looked at the scene in shock.

Although he had long suspected that the Dream Weaver might have been contaminated, it was still hard to believe when he saw it with his own eyes.

If you say so.

Everything he just saw, was something that had happened before, belonging to the dream weaver's memory? Or should I say dream?

If that was the case, Rhodes could probably guess the man's identity.

Moon God!

And this was the Moon God before he became a god!
"Swiss, swiss, swish!!"

Seeing Rhodes appear, the Dream Weaver struggled violently.

The rattling sound of chains echoed throughout the palace, and the magic circle also lit up, suppressing it once again.

"Did you lead me here?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and asked.

Strangely, after hearing his voice, the Weaver, who was still struggling, gradually calmed down.

The eyes moved and stared at him closely, but they didn't speak, and it was obvious that they had lost their self-awareness. But he immediately noticed a problem.

He can't see the Dream Weaver's level information!

Isn't it completely black?

Or is the level gap too big?

Rhodes became confused and looked at the huge monster in front of him through the magic circle.

If he guessed correctly, it was the Weaver himself who trapped the Weaver here!
Perhaps the Dream Weaver knew that he was deeply polluted, so he closed the palace to prevent people from approaching, and set up magic circles and chains to trap himself to ensure the safety of the residents.

"You are... why are you doing this..."

Rhodes was completely moved.

Judging from the memory just now, the Weaver is fully capable of traveling through dimensions and escaping from here, but he still chose to stay here and was eroded by the black soil bit by bit.

perhaps.

It was just to protect the home that the man and himself had built together.

As if in response to his thoughts, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the Weaver's eyes.

A spider-shaped mark slowly floated out, turned into a stream of light and sank into his brow.

[Obtain the Mark of the Demigod (Dream Weaver) x1]

Before Rhodes could be happy, the Dream Weaver's aura quickly weakened, and his expression suddenly changed.

"what happened to you?"

The demigod mark contains the power of demigod. Without the support of this power, it would not be able to withstand the erosion of the black soil. By then, wouldn’t those souls outside lose the protection of the barrier and completely dissipate?

In a hurry, Rhodes began to search in the space ring. He didn't want the only living demigod to die like this.

"Have it!"

Suddenly, he took out a bottle containing Moon Fountain.

After opening it, wrap it in spirit and bring it to the Dream Weaver, then pour it carefully on it.

however.

Waited for a long time.

But still no response.

The Weaver's breath was still weakening rapidly, and the fallen Moon Spring turned into energy and gathered towards its abdomen.

"puff!"

The abdomen burst open and a spider egg as tall as a person fell out.

The Dream Weaver could no longer hold on, and his huge body slowly dissipated, turning into dots of fluorescent light that flew away, and disappeared completely after a while.

"This……"

Rhodes stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

at the same time.

Over the entire sky above Terrasil, the barrier woven by spider webs slowly dissipated, and even the spider demons and black beasts disappeared along with it, causing a great commotion in the city.

"what happened?"

"The barrier is gone!"

“It feels like a force has entered my body!”

"Hair, my hair is turning white!"

“My body seems to be growing again!”

Screams were heard in every corner of Terrasil, and the residents were shocked to find that their bodies, which had stopped growing, had actually started to grow again.

They thought they would age instantly after losing the barrier, but because of the influx of that invisible force, they all stood there intact.

It was like a dream that lasted for more than a thousand years.

"It's them! They succeeded!"

Lillian, who was rushing back to her residence, suddenly turned around and ran towards the Dream Weaver Palace.

Then she was shocked to find that the giant tree standing in the center of the city was withering.

The tree that Lord Weaver would climb to the top to look into the distance every once in a while was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"how so……"

Lillian covered her mouth with one hand, vaguely guessing something in her heart, and ran even faster.

And at this time.

In the palace.

A dazzling light came on, and Rhodes appeared outside again. He saw Augla and the others with anxious faces.

"What are you doing?"

Rhodes' voice rang out in the passage.

Augla and the others who were still searching around paused and ran over with excitement on their faces.

"Lord Rhodes, I finally found you!"

"I thought something happened to you!"

"Yeah ah!"

The voices of the two adults and one child were filled with anxiety, which made Rhodes confused.

"No, I just disappeared for a few minutes. Is there any need to be so anxious?"

"A few minutes? Wasn't it more than half an hour?"

Augura Ilin said doubtfully.

"More than half an hour?"

Now it was Rhodes' turn to be surprised.

It was only seven or eight minutes from the time he disappeared to the time he came back, so how come half an hour had passed?

Could it be...

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

The Weaver was already contaminated by the black soil when the Dream Forest was destroyed, and it has the ability to weave dreams and change time.

Slowing down the time in the space where he is is probably to suppress the pollution and wait for his arrival.

It is precisely because the power is used to suppress pollution that the flow of time in the city covered by the barrier becomes faster, thus forming a complementary effect.

To put it simply, it is the conservation of time!

"Ugh……"

After figuring it out, Rhodes sighed silently in his heart and finally understood the good intentions of the Dream Weaver.

At this moment, a small white head popped out from the branch above his head and looked around curiously.

"Huh? Where did the little white spider come from?"

Yilin and the others were instantly attracted to the little head and came over one after another.

Rhodes didn't explain too much, but took a deep breath and looked outside.

"Let's leave here first. There are probably many things waiting for us to deal with outside."
