After two days of doing nothing and nights living in fear, the Moon Goddess Temple finally gave the results of the Dream Star Election.

Zhu Guanshan and Xingxing were both successfully selected as Dream Stars. Two of the other three Dream Stars came from the Central District and one came from the Northern District.

During that time, Xingxing took the opportunity to meet her younger sister once.

After using the gene-editing drug, Hei Niu's health stopped deteriorating.

However, none of the siblings could find their younger brother, and they had no idea where he had gone.

Now that she has been successfully elected as a Dream Star, Star couldn't help but ask the worshipper, "When can we bring our family to live in Dream City?"

The worshipper grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth: "Don't rush. You should rest and recover in Dream City first. After you pay your respects to the Moon Goddess tomorrow night, we will arrange for your families to enter the city."

A timetable is placed at the entrance of the castle.

Each Dream Star needs to have a private audience with the Moon Goddess, and the schedule is set for each Dream Star. From 8 PM tomorrow night to 6 AM the day after tomorrow, one person every two hours.

Xingxing and Zhuguanshan are ranked last two.

Xingxing kept her promise, and even though she was extremely reluctant, she still handed the pass to Xia Chuhe.

Xia Chuhe: "What are you planning to do next?"

Xingxing: "We can't stay in Dream City anymore. I might take my family to live somewhere else. But if you..."

The star spoke vaguely, finally saying, "I will have my audience with the Moon Goddess between 2 and 4 a.m. the day after tomorrow. You... I wish you all the best."

Xia Chuhe discerned Xingxing's thoughts from her words.

Xingxing is very clever; she is deliberately showing off her intelligence in hopes of gaining more benefits from Xia Chuhe.

Xia Chuhe did not disappoint her: "I have one more thing I need you to do. If you can do it, I can give you a job that will be enough to support you and your family."

...

Midnight.

Two Dream Stars had already entered the Moon Goddess Temple full of energy, only to emerge looking dejected. The Dream Star about to enter, however, showed no worry: "I'm going to see the Moon Goddess! I'm so excited!"

Zhu Guanshan looked worried and asked Xia Chuhe in a low voice, "Do you think those three are acting normally?"

Xia Chuhe remained expressionless: "Normal."

Zhu Guanshan: "..."

Xia Chuhe had seen the situation of the two dream stars.

In the Flesh and Blood Restaurant, the "food" whose life essence is being drained is just like that.

Xia Chuhe glanced down at his watch, silently calculating the progress of the plan.

The Moon Temple has a built-in shielding function, so even though Xia Chuhe has a personal transceiver, he can't contact the outside world. Now he can only pray that everything goes well outside.

If the plan doesn't go smoothly, death will be the only thing waiting for Xia Chuhe.

Due to the special rules of the Moon Temple, Xia Chuhe felt his connection with the farm completely severed as soon as he entered. The Follower's Handbook, created because of the farm, naturally became ineffective. Aside from the malice-seeing eye in his pupils, the small black snake on his wrist, and the time watch whose functionality was uncertain, Xia Chuhe lost all his supernatural abilities and items.

This made Xia Chuhe doubt once again – was the farm feature really a built-in feature of the phone?

Unfortunately, of the four people who entered the Moon Temple with her, three were non-evolved beings from Dream Chasing City, and Zhu Guanshan's ability was still passive protection, so he couldn't provide her with any reference.

Xia Chuhe waited quietly, and the time gradually approached one o'clock in the morning.

A faint buzzing sound could be heard outside the Temple of the Moon Goddess, like the resonance caused by countless people talking at the same time.

With a huge weight lifted from his heart, Xia Chuhe felt a sense of relief.

They've arrived.

Zhu Guanshan walked blankly to the window: "What's that sound—there are so many people!"

Outside the window, a huge, dark mass of people, loosely divided into several lines, swept through the streets like locusts, decimating the food and goods on the street.

From Zhuguan Mountain, one could faintly hear the sighs of the crowd—

"The Moon Goddess is merciful; I have truly seen the light today."

"What's so great about opening my eyes? This is the first time I've ever eaten my fill! My stomach is so full, I don't want to walk anymore!"

"Don't stop, don't block the way! Follow me, there's more good stuff ahead!"

A familiar voice.

Zhu Guanshan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the leader was none other than Xingxing.

Beside the stars, holding aloft a large light, is a weasel; the one dispersing the crowd is a white cat. Occasionally, a few familiar faces appear in the crowd, seemingly residents of the western district.

The other groups were completely unfamiliar.

However, Zhu Guanshan recognized those people who could scale rooftops and carry arrows to point the way.

Those people were her teammates.

Everyone is heading towards the same place—the Temple of the Moon.

It was the Moon Goddess Temple where she and Xia Chuhe were.

Zhu Guanshan was both excited and aggrieved: "Why are there so many people? What did you do? Why didn't you tell me anything?"

Xia Chuhe reassured her, "You are my number one plan. If Xingxing insists on becoming Dream Star and doesn't sell her spot to me, then you are my most important trump card."

In short, it soothed the grievances in Zhu Guanshan's heart.

Xia Chuhe laughed and said, "I want to see the true face of the Moon Goddess."

Her smile gradually turned cruel: "I think the citizens of Dream City must also want to see the Moon Goddess in person! The supreme deity is fearless and should not be afraid to expose her true form to her people."

...

Before entering the Moon Goddess Temple, Xia Chuhe only arranged two things.

The first thing to do is to have the people from the Cape Trading Post dig along the existing tunnel tracks deeper into Dream City. The tunnels must connect the five districts (east, west, south, north, and center). Once the five districts converge, a direct road to Dream City should be dug. Since Dream City is heavily guarded by the Moon Goddess's people, they should enter from below.

The second thing is to let Xingxing return as Mengxing and tell her family that the Moon Goddess allows the city's citizens to pay homage to her divine countenance.

The results of the Dream Star election already made Xingxing and her family popular, and now that Xingxing has returned from Dream City and told the news herself, the credibility has been greatly increased.

The news that the Moon Goddess had allowed the city's residents to have an audience with her spread like a virus from the shantytown to the western district, and then rapidly throughout the entire Dream Chaser City.

The townspeople enthusiastically discussed bringing the best food to offer to the moon goddess.

The stars said, "The Moon Goddess said that she is a great god, and there is no need for offerings during this audience; we only need to enjoy the blessings she bestows."

Upon hearing the news, the district chiefs from the east, south, north, and central regions all opened channels to listen to divine pronouncements and confirmed the matter with the Moon Goddess.

The answer I received was, "Nonsense, no need to worry."

The Moon Goddess believed that those foolish people were utterly incapable of opening the gates of Dream City.

The district chiefs attempted to control the spread of rumors on their own, but were instead imprisoned by the city's residents on charges of disrespecting the moon goddess.

The citizens of Dream City, children of the Moon Goddess, finally arrived at the gates of the Moon Goddess Temple after traversing a long and cramped underground passage.
