Apart from the statue in the center.

Gu Xinghe and the obedient red spider that had been perched on his shoulder were also decorated in other parts of the church.

At this moment, the red spider was embedding its silk into the wall.

The church's sturdiness is guaranteed both from a physical and mystical perspective.

And it will not collapse in the event of certain disasters.

However, if someone else possesses the ability to see through objects at this time...

He will also surely see the Star River Church, protected and surrounded by spider silk.

It's like a treasure protected by powerful infrared laser beams.

The resilient yet seemingly non-existent spider silk is the first line of defense protecting the Star River Church.

They are also "sentinels" used to detect impending crises.

Meanwhile, Gu Xinghe shrouded the entire church in his own misty domain.

If someone with ulterior motives were to enter, Gu Xinghe and Teresa, who had been authorized by him, would also be able to know.

After making the necessary arrangements throughout the entire Star River Church.

Gu Xinghe looked at the church, which appeared unchanged on the surface but had undergone tremendous changes inside.

Suddenly, the thought arose in my mind to take a look at the Star River Church, which is now in the real world.

What changes actually occurred in the corresponding dream world?

At this moment, the key to the Dreamland that Gu Xinghe possessed made it easier to satisfy his sudden curiosity.

At this moment, he took out the black key that he had fused from the storage space.

Although this key, after fusion, grants higher privileges, it allows direct access to the places in the Dreamland where he left his footprints.

But Gu Xinghe simply chose to "conventionally" enter the location corresponding to his current dream world in reality.

This is because the relevant abilities have been improved.

When you re-enter the dream world at this time.

Gu Xinghe could clearly feel the "illusory" feeling that came from the dream world when he first entered, which was completely different from reality.

This does not mean that everything in the dream world is "fake".

Rather, it's because the dream world itself is composed of humanity's collective unconscious and imagination.

Therefore, this place always gives people a sense of dislocation that is different from reality, as if the world is upside down and everything is an illusion.

At this moment, when Gu Xinghe entered the Dream Realm, he found himself in the Star River Church corresponding to this place.

He also began to observe carefully here—

Gu Xinghe made this discovery while in the far north, in the snowy land.

Because the bonfire he created in the cemetery of Set, fueled by ghouls, has not yet been "approved".

Therefore, when he entered the dream realm, there was no campfire at the corresponding location in the cemetery.

If this is the case, then the Star River Church has clearly gained "widespread recognition".

Therefore, the Star River Church seen in the dreamscape at this moment looks even more "full of detail".

However, due to the inherent characteristics of the Dream Realm itself.

Therefore, the solemn and dignified layout and scene of the original Star River Church.

Now, after entering the dream world, everything seems bizarre and fantastical—

The statue, originally modeled after Gu Xinghe, has undergone a certain degree of "abstracting" treatment.

In the dream world, things become even more bizarre.

Unlike real-life statues that resemble human figures.

The statue in the dreamscape appears to have been born from a chaotic void.

Because it was surrounded by what looked like nebulae and mist from the Big Bang.

This is the very core of all these magnificent sights.

He is distorted, yet harmonious; He is abstract, yet has a concrete form in everyone's eyes.

Behind this contradictory yet remarkably unified statue lies...

It is a burning, cold sun that is constantly emitting "light".

Here, the definition of "light" is relative.

Because compared to the ordinary "daytime," the sun behind the statue should actually be considered a "black sun."

The black sun appears to absorb light and heat absolutely, like a black hole.

But at the outer edge of that black sun, there was a ring of white light that, though seemingly faint, was indeed present.

That faint white light looked so weak.

But in contrast to the black hole sun, which absorbs all light and heat, it appears so obvious.

He is a torch born from profound despair.

It is a miracle in all the "usual" and ordinary daily life.

It is also the only hope that exists in this world.

But it is precisely because of this that when humanity embarks on this path of hope, attempting to grasp this last miracle...

The difficulty is immense, and the destination along this road seems distant and unattainable.

Even so, many people still followed one after another, embarking on that path of hope.

They kept moving towards the cold, dangerous sun, which also radiated the last rays of light and heat, trying to grasp that one and only light.

Their bodies lay scattered on the road ahead, transforming into strange, grotesque shapes.

This made the area around the statue seem even more dangerous and terrifying.

But His radiance never faded in those indescribable masses.

However, looking at the statue, which was even more distorted than the real thing and completely unrecognizable as human, was quite a shock.

Gu Xinghe, however, felt that the Dream Realm was simply ruining his "reputation".

At this moment, apart from the incredibly eerie-looking statue in front of him, Gu Xinghe also began to observe the surroundings of the church.

Unlike the truly awe-inspiring sight of a church at sunrise in reality.

Because time in the dream world is always at dusk.

So when the dim, unclear light from the dream world shone into the Pope's chamber.

It gives people an even more ambiguous feeling, as if danger is lurking in the air.

The man-eating beast hid in the dim light, its form not clearly visible.

But it followed the flow of light and shadow, always like a shadow, behind those who entered the church.

Wait until they lower their guard before delivering a fatal blow.

Moreover, unlike churches in reality, the interior of the Star River Church in the dream world is completely shrouded in black mist.

It was as if we had truly arrived in the realm of gods, a land still in chaos and constantly evolving.

After observing the differences between the Star River Church in reality and in the dream world.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe maintained the passage between the dream world and reality.

So, when he sensed that Teresa in the other space had returned with the bread she had baked.

Gu Xinghe did not linger in the Star River Church in this dream world, but chose to return directly to reality.
