This series of actions might anger his "neighbors" in the divine realm to the point that they would wake up directly from their slumber.

Before the operation to erase the marks they left in reality.

Gu Xinghe decided to protect the villagers first.

Because it is a "spiritual realm" that has been covered by the filth of despair.

It is still an ancient tree in a "dream" that is suspected to be formed from the last hope.

At this moment, the remaining villagers in the village where Gu Xinghe was located were clearly the focus of attention for both sides.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring the villagers into one's protection scope in advance.

This is clearly a very important step in Gu Xinghe's "stealing the house" plan.

As for the villagers themselves, their enthusiasm yesterday showed that they would naturally be willing to leave with Gu Xinghe.

Similarly, the ancient tree did not stop Gu Xinghe, who was also its "child" and "elder," from taking action.

However, for the [Mind Realm], this layer of space cannot so easily allow the villagers to leave.

This is like the village and its remaining villagers who have not yet been completely swallowed up by despair.

This is a "delicacy" specially cultivated by the "spiritual realm" through the "fermentation" of time.

If someone were to steal the "delicious food" that he deliberately saved for last, Gu Xinghe would not let it go unpunished.

Therefore, the goal is to safely relocate and protect the people in the village.

We need to find a place that can block out the [Mind Realm].

The simplest method is to move the villagers to other levels of space.

This spatial barrier between different levels is used to shield the symbiotic relationship between the two.

Perhaps it's time to put the Misty Palace in his divine kingdom space, which he recently "renovated," into use.

At this moment, when Bourne finally came out of his small kitchen and took out the breakfast he had carefully prepared.

Gu Xinghe stopped thinking about these questions and instead focused his attention back on their conversation.

They praised the deliciousness of the dish the other person had prepared.

Gu Xinghe was never stingy in fulfilling the small wishes of his followers.

Despite the fact that this breakfast looked so beautifully prepared, it didn't taste good.

In reality, it wasn't much different from the simple dinner that was hastily prepared last night—

Both taste like a bland and tasteless synthetic starch polymer.

It is not the smell that a normal food born from nature should have.

At the same time, it was precisely the unusual taste of the simple dinner he had eaten last night that bothered him.

It was only then that Gu Xinghe realized that the existence of this village was more like the last oasis of hope remaining in this despairing and filthy space.

That's why he would anticipate and wait at night for the "guests" who would come to visit him in his attic.

Just as the villagers who actually possessed physical bodies had long since died, what remained in the village at this time were merely their lingering obsessions.

The food and buildings in this village may no longer be the same as the traditional concept of existence.

Therefore, I came to this space as the only human with a real physical body.

It's easy to imagine just how "conspicuous" Gu Xinghe was.

This may be why the villagers subconsciously recognized his difference and showed him great enthusiasm.

After finishing the breakfast that Bourne had carefully prepared, Gu Xinghe began his own activities—

Let Bourne gather everyone in the village together again, just like yesterday.

"Mr. Gu Xinghe, are you planning to tell everyone about your adventures again, just like yesterday?"

"That's right."

Under Bourne's expectant gaze, Gu Xinghe nodded.

Subsequently, Gu Xinghe's seemingly absurd and unreasonable request was granted.

At this moment, they watched as the boy, Rachel, gradually walked into the gathering crowd.

Gu Xinghe noticed that his appearance had returned to normal.

He no longer appeared as manic and irrational as he did last night.

Unlike the bewildered majority present, Rashina's expression remained unchanged from the previous day.

He probably understood Gu Xinghe's true purpose in gathering everyone together.

His visit last night was likely intended to facilitate some kind of "recognition" process with Gu Xinghe.

And inform Gu Xinghe about the current situation in the village.

Thinking about it this way, Leixi's act of turning into a mindless monster and attacking Gu Xinghe's residence last night was also a kind of notification.

After all, no amount of verbal description can compare to witnessing it firsthand.

Last night, Leahy may have offered herself up as a sacrifice.

She personally delivered herself to Gu Xinghe so that he could conduct research and experiments.

Meanwhile, the villagers who had been gathered together were being transferred to the Misty Palace, which he controlled.

Gu Xinghe's guess was confirmed.

They figured out who the people in the village were and what was going on with this seemingly special boy, Leahy.

Because of the villagers' own recognition and following of Gu Xinghe.

Sending them into the Hall of Mist was not difficult for Gu Xinghe.

At the moment when the villagers were teleported away by Gu Xinghe, their connection with the [Mind Realm] was temporarily severed.

Because the villagers' location had been moved from the [Mind Realm] where Gu Xinghe could not perceive the outside world to the Misty Palace.

Therefore, at this moment, Gu Xinghe, who had absolute control over the Misty Palace, also understood—

The people in the village are indeed the physical manifestations of the obsessions and spiritual will left behind by the deceased villagers.

The boy, Rachel, who appears somewhat special, is the symbol of the last remaining hope.

It is also the last vestige of a kind of "consciousness" that was preserved.

Before Gu Xinghe arrived, the role played by the boy Leixi was actually somewhat like a "low-budget version" of Gu Xinghe.

He was like the last firefly in the darkness, gathering the will of the wandering.

It also preserves the last glimmer of light and hope that the villagers represent, ensuring that they never fade away.

In fact, Rachel wasn't always the little boy she is now.

However, the gradual fading of "hope" caused Leixi to experience a reversal and regression in her age.

Therefore, when he became aware of Gu Xinghe's appearance.

That's why her behavior differed from others; she simply gazed at Gu Xinghe calmly and gently.

As Gu Xinghe emerged as an even more dazzling beacon of hope, Lei Xi left the stage with heartfelt admiration.

He felt no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, he smiled and praised it.

For the light shines upon him as well.
