Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

Dinner gradually came to an end amidst pleasantries.

After saying goodbye, Chris and Chase returned to their apartment. After a quick wash, Chris lay half-reclined on the bed and used the key in his mind to enter the mysterious space.

The sense of alienation that came with the darkness gradually disappeared.

Chris opened his eyes, and he was now standing on the top of the tower.

Behind him was the lantern, enveloped in a screen of various colors, emitting a white fluorescent glow.

In the Star Card, the key is called the Star Key. Chris wondered if he should also give the lantern and the tower a name.

"Let's call it Starlight Lantern and Stargazing Tower."

The moment Chris had that thought, the entire mysterious space suddenly trembled.

His sense of control over this mysterious space intensified once again.

Chris sensed the changes in the entire space and couldn't help but frown in thought.

"Could it be that these things were originally called by this name?"

His gaze swept across the lake reflecting the starlight below the tower, then he turned and walked toward the starlight lantern in the middle of the platform.

Chris saw something there that shouldn't be there, and his pupils contracted involuntarily.

At this moment, on the edge of the mercury-silver platform where the lantern was located, lay a bronze box quietly.

It was exactly the same as the secret box Chris used to store the star cards in the evening.

He walked closer and looked at the secret box, which was so close to him, with some disbelief.

After hesitating for a moment, I slowly reached out and touched it, and a cool sensation came from my fingertips.

With a gentle flick of his finger, he opened a crack in the bronze box.

The bronze box was unlocked.

To be precise, the lock on the copper box itself was broken.

This is the secret box he received from Madison Asset Management.

Chris gradually opened the bronze box completely, revealing the old-fashioned star chart and the star background map he had drawn himself.

His gaze was downcast as he scanned the star plaques in the bronze box.

Chris couldn't understand why the bronze box had suddenly appeared in this mysterious space.

"Could it be because of this star-shaped card?"

Everything in this entire mysterious space is related to the stars.

Although this star card is just an ordinary print, the imagery it represents may resonate with this space on some mystical level.

This was the only explanation Chris could think of.

However, in any case, being able to discover items from the outside world in this mysterious space is definitely a good thing for Chris.

Just now, before we entered this mysterious space.

He hesitated for a while.

Should we try astrology again first, or enter this mysterious space?

These two things are not contradictory.

However, considering that he suddenly activated his spiritual vision during the final step of the astrology last night, which consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.

This prevented him from consistently entering that space.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chris decided to enter this mysterious space tonight.

Check if those two astral entities that I marked with the yellow mist have reappeared in the astral plane.

This is a crucial channel for Chris to obtain occult knowledge and information about the Holy Path for free.

Compared to something as uncontrollable as astrology, it's more important to ensure that you can enter this mysterious space at least once a day.

But now, looking at the star cards that have appeared in this mysterious space.

Chris suddenly had an idea.

"If I try astrology here, will I get some different results?"

After deciding to perform an astrological reading in this mysterious space, Chris didn't rush to do it.

He walked to the edge of the terrace and gazed at the starry sky reflected in the lake below.

If nothing unexpected happens, that should be where the astral plane is located.

Chris closed his eyes slightly, attempting to enter that peculiar state of communicating with the astral plane.

The next moment, his consciousness seemed to sink into the lake.

After a hazy sensation, he saw a silver river stretching across the sky.

The river is filled with rolling waves, and upon closer inspection, one can see that the shimmering starlight on the silvery surface is the spiritual radiance emitted by individual star spirits.

In the surrounding space, there are hundreds of silver rivers composed of silver matter and astral entities.

Further into space, there appear to be even more similar structures resembling silver rivers.

These silver rivers intertwine, forming a vast silver network structure in this immeasurable space.

This time, when Chris entered this strange state, the vision of the astral plane was much clearer than before.

His gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, trying to discern his current position within this space.

However, when he looked down, he could only see the structure of those silver rivers and the radiant astral bodies.

He cannot see himself.

Or rather, his current state is invisible within this astral plane.

Although Chris didn't buy the book that recorded various basic occult rituals, he did learn that to enter the astral plane, he needed to complete something called the Awakening Ritual.

He never performed that ritual.

His method of entering the astral plane may be different from that of any other celestial being currently existing in this astral plane.

Therefore, his current state is somewhat special and also very reasonable.

Chris could feel his spirituality being constantly depleted. He dared not delay any longer and quickly focused his mind to communicate with the hexagonal mark formed by the yellow mist.

In the darkness, Chris sensed a very faint aura emanating from the yellow seal.

"It seems that neither of them is currently in the Astral Plane."

Chris stopped communicating with the yellow seal and instead began to carefully examine the star-emitting astral entities closest to him.

It is said that recently, but in his current perception, these silver rivers seem to be separated from him by an invisible barrier.

He could not get any closer to these silver rivers.

The feeling of being able to pull the astral beings closer has not reappeared.

Chris estimated that there was still some kind of opportunity missing between him and these astral beings.

After confirming that he could not pull other astral beings into the mystical space, Chris slowly withdrew from the astral plane.

After his consciousness returned to the mysterious space, a hint of disappointment flashed in Chris's eyes.

However, he quickly turned his attention to the Star card.

Chris picked up the star card again and examined it, finding that it was still in its old, worn-out state.

Nothing changed after entering this mysterious space.

It seems that what's special isn't the star card itself.

Rather, it refers to a certain concept about stars.

Staying in this mysterious space will also continuously deplete his spiritual energy.

Seeing that he still had plenty of spiritual energy, Chris quickly began to try astrology.
