With a host of questions in mind, Ling turned and entered her own space.
He was now going to visit the dimensional capital where he had met the Flower Goddess. The memories from his dream weren't enough for him to fully understand; he still had many questions he needed to ask the Flower Goddess.
However, upon arriving in the Dimensional Capital, Zero found the scene before him to be far less prosperous than when he had first arrived—
For example, the capital city at this time was once a bustling metropolis, with a constant stream of carriages and horses. Not to mention the merchants, even the passersby were always crowded together, chatting and laughing on the street, creating a lively and extraordinary atmosphere.
The capital city remains the same, with the same buildings and roads. Only the merchants seem different; at least, he didn't see Wu Ge, the craftsman who had helped forge the weapons.
What happened in the Dimensional Capital?
Zero couldn't help but feel a little strange, a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.
He looked around at the unfamiliar faces, staring at that familiar yet strange street corner. For a moment, he wondered if he had come to the wrong place…
Whether they were passersby or business people, they all seemed to be immersed in their own world.
Logically speaking, a business owner, while not necessarily needing to shout to attract customers, shouldn't just sit blankly in front of their stall, staring at the ground, seemingly lost in thought...
And the pedestrians passing by, they were really just passing by, walking without looking to the side, their eyes always fixed on what was ahead.
Zero couldn't help but feel that this was a city of puppets...
However, Zero did not linger on the street for long; he still needed to go to Sunset Forest.
He initially went to Sunset Forest to collect rare earth metals, but later encountered a strange beast that led him to a temple, where he met the Flower Goddess.
Now, stepping into Sunset Forest again, Zero's first impression is—stillness.
It's too quiet...
It was so quiet that there seemed to be no trace of any living creature.
This is just the outer edge of the forest...
The quietness of the inner area is understandable. It's entirely possible for the surrounding environment to be so quiet without disturbing the large alien beasts.
But now that they were on the outskirts of the forest, Zero couldn't hear a single bird call, or even the slightest breeze!
The situation here is too similar to that outside.
Only after seeing this place did Zero realize what the strange feeling she had just experienced outside was—it was stillness.
Here, outside, in different places, among different species, the same feeling he gets is tranquility.
Has the demonic seed's influence already spread to the Dimensional Capital...?
Zero couldn't help but make this guess.
Otherwise, how else can it be explained...?
Is this a dream? Is he still asleep?
With a head full of guesses, Zero unknowingly arrived at the place where he first met the Flower Goddess in this very quiet environment.
The difference was that there were no strange beasts leading the way, no clouds or mist surrounding them, and certainly no temple...
What exactly happened here?
He had secretly memorized the route when the strange beast led the way. The path he was taking now was exactly the same as before, the only difference being that there was no strange beast guiding him now…
But he didn't think that a strange beast was necessary to lead the way in.
Although it was shrouded in mist at the time, the actual situation might not have been clearly visible.
But Zero can be absolutely certain that he has not gone down the wrong path.
And the reality is this: this road has no end...
As Ling wandered aimlessly, feeling lost and helpless, he heard a distant, ethereal voice: "Stand still, close your eyes, and concentrate."
