I can find treasures in my dreams.

Her Highness Binas, the highest priestess of the Moon Spirit Civilization, remained silent for several seconds. The turbulent waves surging in her pale silver moon eyes gradually subsided, leaving only extreme caution.

Her beautiful voice remained cool and clear, but it carried a hint of seriousness after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, I must admit that establishing a gateway to the secret realm is a bold idea that is enough to overturn our understanding."

“But you should be clear that there are still thirteen Venerables left in the Thirty-One Worlds of Longyue. My decision cannot represent everyone. You first need to prove that this plan is highly feasible. Only in this way can you convince the other Venerables.”

This statement sets a clear bottom line—without evidence, everything is just empty talk.

Behind her lies the safety of the entire Moon Spirit civilization, and even the entire world group. It is absolutely impossible for her to risk everything based on just a "hypothesis".

Yang Fan had anticipated this, and his smile remained unchanged: "Your Majesty Binas, I understand your caution. Would you be interested in joining me on a small adventure? Perhaps you can find the answer you seek in this adventure."

Binas remained silent, her gaze growing even colder.

To "adventure" with a powerful and mysterious figure whose strength is unfathomable when the situation is completely unknown is far too risky.

She is the pillar of the Moon Spirit Civilization; if anything happens to her, the entire civilization will be thrown into turmoil.

The civilizations of those two Venerable Ones from this world who rashly entered the secret realm and ultimately disappeared have been thrown into chaos and devastation. She does not want this civilization to repeat the same mistakes.

Yang Fan moved his right hand slightly, and a bright light flashed from his fingertips. The light flowed and condensed in his palm, instantly transforming into a phantom card.

The card hovered at his fingertips, emanating a faint energy fluctuation, sharing the same aura as the Secret Realm Phone Card, yet possessing a deeper and more profound depth.

"Cards again..." Pina muttered to herself.

The image of that secret realm phone card forcibly penetrating the temple's layers of defenses without any hindrance was still etched in her mind. Such a method of ignoring the laws made even a mid-level Venerable like her feel extremely wary.

Her gaze fell on the new card, and she examined it carefully.

This card seems unremarkable: it depicts a winding river, and the water is not a still painting, but is actually flowing.

Above the river, an eyeball, drawn with just a few strokes, hangs suspended, as if looking down at the long river, or gazing at some unknown dimension.

For some reason, the image on the card gave her a strange feeling that was hard to describe, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

With a slight thought, Binas quietly extended her spiritual power, intending to penetrate the card and investigate its contents, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier of laws.

Just as she frowned slightly, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a blurry shadow appearing in the river.

The shadow was slender and draped in a light moonlight veil, bearing a striking resemblance to her own figure.
Her wondrous intuition, originating from the Venerable One's primordial spirit, told her that the shadow was by no means a simple projection of a portrait.

The pattern held a mystery she couldn't yet fathom, as if it connected to the very essence of her soul.

The princess hadn't intended to ask, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity: "What is this?"

Yang Fan gently raised his right hand, and the illusory card transformed into a stream of light, slowly drifting towards the other party: "You can see this for yourself; it will tell you that my proposal is not just empty talk."

Binas hesitated for a moment, a struggle flashing in her pale silver moon eyes.

In the end, she reached out her delicate hand, her fingertips lightly touching the card, and caught it steadily in her palm.

The card feels warm and smooth to the touch, without any cold or foreign sensation; rather, it feels like a piece of warm jade.

The emperor took a deep breath and focused his mind on his reflection in the river on the card.

next second.

An incredible sight has occurred!

The eyeballs on the card suddenly opened.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the surface of the river, making the previously illusory flow of water instantly feel incredibly real, as if one could smell the river's crisp, refreshing scent.

The reflection in the river suddenly became clear, and it was clearly her own image.

Images seemed to rotate rapidly, appearing quickly around the figure.

From the naivety of childhood, to the perseverance of cultivating the power of the Soul Moon in adolescence, to the joy of breaking through the first barrier to become a warrior, to the composure of becoming a knight, and finally to the transformation when he encountered a fortuitous encounter and went through countless life-and-death experiences to become a Venerable.

Past experiences flashed by rapidly in the river, so clear as if they were happening yesterday.

As the scene shifted, it suddenly froze on a moment from not long ago:
This is a tranquil Moon Spirit City, with a faint moonlight floating above it, and lush Moon Spirit Trees planted on both sides of the streets.

It was late at night, and tiny crescent moon patterns appeared on the surface of the Moon Spirit Tree's leaves, emitting a dim yet warm glow that enveloped the city in a soft halo.

She was surveying the city in her spirit form when she suddenly sensed a strange power of extremely high level descending silently, like an invisible net that precisely enveloped more than a dozen ordinary Moon Spirits in the city who had no power to resist.

Startled, she immediately used a secret technique to stop him.

Strangely, this power seemed to exist in another dimension; her secret technique pierced through that area, but only struck the air.

Seeing that the force was about to drag away more than a dozen ordinary Moon Spirits, Binas hardened her heart and used a secret technique to kill them.

Their flesh and blood sprouted branches, which were covered with green leaves, yet their faces showed a peaceful expression.

A few seconds later, more than a dozen green plants appeared on the spot.

This was not cruel; rather, it was because her revered intuition had already foreseen their tragic fate.

Once taken away by this strange force, they will not only die a painful death, but their souls and flesh will also be assimilated, becoming nourishment for some terrifying being.

Only after everything was over did she realize that the strange power that had just descended was most likely the power of the Fallen Sand Abyss Secret Realm.

This matter was kept extremely secret; she never mentioned it to anyone and even deliberately erased all traces of the scene.

But the scene in the river at this moment completely reproduces the whole process.

Not long after.

The eyeballs closed again.

The image of the river disappeared, and the water returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.

Pina subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

She looked up at the blurry figure not far away, and her pale silver eyes could no longer remain calm, replaced by undisguised horror.

Just now, in the card, she felt as if she had experienced half a lifetime, but her primordial spirit clearly perceived that from the time she stared at the card to the time the image disappeared, it was only two seconds!

This seemingly ordinary card was able to peek into her most secret past, a method that truly shocked her.

Her Majesty Pina gripped the card tightly and asked again, "What is this?"

The tone of this sentence was completely different from before—previously full of curiosity and wariness, but now it was filled with a heavy solemnity.

She could clearly sense that the power contained within this card had already reached the ceiling of the laws she knew, and it was by no means an ordinary object.

Yang Fan's smile remained gentle, and his tone was light as if he were talking about a trivial matter: "When I advanced to the intermediate-level Venerable, I was fortunate enough to gain some inspiration, so I casually created this Soul Card and gave it a simple name."

He paused, then uttered a few words: "Eye of the River of Time."

The word "simple" sounded incredibly grating to Binas's ears when he uttered it.

Even a fool could tell that behind the six words "Eye of the River of Time" lay an immense and terrifying power, each word pointing to a powerful being that transcends ordinary laws.

This is by no means a "simple" name; it is clearly a straightforward declaration of a primordial power.

Binas subconsciously repeated "Eye of the River of Time" in a low voice, a hint of realization flashing in her pale silver eyes.

Just by glancing at the card a few more times, a wisp of soul power was passively drawn into it, and then he personally experienced the rewind of the past. Isn't this the power of the legendary River of Time?
The ability to reflect the past and guide the soul is beyond the scope of the capabilities of ordinary venerable ones.

Her gaze towards Yang Fan unconsciously held a newfound respect: "The Law of Time is indeed extremely rare; perhaps only one in a thousand Venerables could touch its edge. I never imagined you possessed such immense power." "Your Majesty flatters me." Yang Fan nodded slightly, his tone remaining calm, but he smoothly shifted the focus, offering a new suggestion: "If you don't mind, you can condense a soul imprint and place it into this 'Eye of the River of Time'."

"I can use its power to take you back to some interesting scenes related to the secret realm. Perhaps after reading these, you will have a deeper understanding of the Fallen Sands Secret Realm and have a little more confidence in my proposal to build a portal to the secret realm."

Pina's beautiful eyes suddenly flickered.

Imbuing a soul imprint into an unfamiliar object is undoubtedly risky, because the soul imprint is linked to the origin of the primordial spirit, and if it falls into the control of the other party, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She hesitated for only a moment before nodding slightly, her tone resolute: "It is an honor to receive Your Majesty's guidance!"

Her primordial spirit intuition told her that although the other party was a mid-level Venerable like herself, the difference in their strength was enormous.

If it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, there's a 90% or higher chance I'll be cleanly and decisively killed by the opponent.

Given the opponent's strength, they wouldn't need to resort to such roundabout tricks if they wanted to harm the Moon Spirit Civilization.

Pina slowly extended a slender, white finger. The moonlight swirling around her fingertip suddenly receded, condensing into a pure, pristine radiance that quickly transformed into a small, exquisite crescent moon.

With a flick of the fingertip, the small crescent moon transformed into a silver ray of light, precisely disappearing into the "Eye of the River of Time" in the palm of the hand without causing the slightest ripple.

After a while.

A soft light suddenly burst forth from the surface of the card.

Above the river of time, a bright moon slowly rose, and the ripples on the river suddenly became more intense, with countless tiny crescent moon shadows mixed in with the waves, drifting with the current, like a dream.

Yang Fan's voice suddenly became ethereal, as if it came from the other side of the starry river at the end of time: "Your Majesty Binas, are you ready? Let's go."

Just as Pina was about to respond, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes and the world spin around her.

The once still altar, the flowing moonlight, and the distant city lights vanished without a trace in an instant.

In its place is the ever-flowing river of time.

The river shimmered with a silvery-gold luster, meandering around her, with countless crescent moon shadows dancing on its surface, each shadow concealing a blurred image.

Looking up, a familiar, bright crescent moon hung in the sky, and within its outline, the phantom of the Moon Spirit Temple was clearly reflected.

Another version of herself, dressed in a moonlit veil, stood quietly atop the temple, her expression aloof, just as she had appeared moments before.

until now.

Princess Binas finally realized what was happening, and a wave of shock washed over her.

It turned out that his own soul and consciousness had undergone an incredibly wondrous exchange with the reflection in the river in the card.

She pursed her lips almost imperceptibly, her awe of the Ghostly Emperor growing even stronger.

*
The hidden realm of the sunken sand abyss.

Inside the cabin in the secret garden, the warm yellow fire still flickered, illuminating the living room with a cozy glow.

The Moon Spirit Warrior Livin, holding a brass receiver, engaged in a detailed half-hour conversation with the thirteen Holy Priests of the Moon Spirit Temple.

She shared everything she had seen, heard, and experienced after entering the secret realm without holding back.

Even Yang Donglin's power and the existence of the Secret Garden were explained without any concealment.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the receiver, the Grand Priestess Yadina and other Grand Priestesses of Favor would occasionally interrupt her, asking crucial questions about the laws of the secret realm, the characteristics of monsters, and the patterns of the chosen ones' descent. Livin did her best to answer all their questions.

Many of these questions were ones that the Moon Spirit Warrior did not know how to answer.

Ghost Eye floated beside her, mimicking her tone to give a very detailed and insightful explanation.

She kept stealing glances at the ghost eye, only then realizing that this thing had such a deep understanding of the secret realm that even the knights probably couldn't match it.

The most interesting thing was that the Holy Favor Ceremony didn't even realize it, which surprised and amused the female warrior.

As the communication was nearing its end.

The voice of the Grand Priestess Yadina carried obvious praise and solemnity: "Livin, you have done a great job. The information you sent back is of immeasurable value to the entire Moon Spirit Civilization in dealing with this crisis in the secret realm. You have made a great contribution to the temple!"

"Thank you for your recognition. It is my duty." Livin suppressed her inner joy and replied respectfully.

For her, as a temple guard, receiving such direct affirmation from the Holy Favor Ceremony was undoubtedly the highest honor.

She naturally understood that if she was fortunate enough to escape this damned Gobi Desert and return alive to the Moon Spirit Civilization, the temple would surely reward her with an unimaginable bounty.

Subsequently.

The call then officially ended.

Livin slowly lowered the brass receiver, and the moment her fingertips left the warm metal surface, the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred.

The blurry gray-white space before her eyes disappeared, and the familiar living room furnishings came into view again. The warmth emanating from the fireplace and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air instantly pulled her back to the secret garden.

She looked down at her still tightly clenched hands, her pretty face flushed with extreme excitement, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

She stole a glance at Yang Donglin's profile, mustered her courage, and asked boldly, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible shyness and sincerity, "Master, it's late. Do you need me to keep you company tonight?"

The word "accompany" implies something unspoken, referring to the indescribable things between men and women.

She was able to make such a great contribution to the temple entirely thanks to the strong support of the young master before her.

Having no other way to repay her, she thought of expressing her loyalty and gratitude to this powerful new master in the most direct way.

Yang Donglin's handsome face twitched suddenly, and he refused almost reflexively: "No need!"

Just kidding! He's only twelve years old!
Moreover, if he really agreed to Livin's request, given his father's personality, he would probably break through the barrier of the secret realm and rush in the next second, breaking his legs on the spot!
Livin was not discouraged at all. She bowed slightly and said in a respectful and earnest tone, "Yes, Master. I will be ready to answer your call and fulfill all your needs."

Unable to resist such a blatant attempt to curry favor, Yang Donglin quickly waved his hand, urging her towards the bedroom: "Go and rest first, there will be another attack at the shelter later."

"Yes, Master," Livin replied respectfully.

Livin pushed open the bedroom door and gently closed it behind her.

For the first time since entering the secret realm, she completely let down her guard and slowly took off the silver armor that was a work of art.

The armor plates collided with each other, producing a crisp, light sound. As the silver armor was removed piece by piece, her exquisite and graceful figure was revealed.

Her skin was as white as jade, with a faint glow; her waist was free of any excess fat; her legs were long and straight, and every inch of her figure exuded a healthy beauty.

Before communicating with the Holy Favor Ceremony, although she was in the safe secret garden, she was always worried about this unfamiliar environment and dared not relax in the slightest.

But after the call, she completely let go of all her worries. Her master could simply pull out a card and make her contact a temple in another world in real time. This was a cross-domain communication method that even Venerables could not achieve.

With such strength, what is there to worry about?
Livin walked to the windowsill and sat down gently.

The rattan chair beneath her seemed to have a life of its own, automatically adjusting its shape, the curve of the chair surface perfectly conforming to the curves of her body.

The rattan had just the right firmness, providing sufficient support while also being just the right amount of softness, making it so comfortable that she couldn't help but sigh.

She turned to look out the window. The secret garden was a riot of colors, with flowers blooming quietly in the moonlight. Vines climbed along the corners of the wooden house, and a refreshing fragrance wafted through the air.

She had prepared herself to endure a long night in the Blood Sanctuary, but she never expected to enjoy such a leisurely and pleasant time in such a harsh and secluded place.

"The Azure Civilization must be an extremely powerful and top-tier civilization," Livin murmured softly, gazing at the blooming flowers outside the window.

She would never have imagined that the Azure Civilization, which she held in such awe, had only been in the Primordial World for less than twenty years, even younger than she was. (End of Chapter)
