Rod's expression did not change, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

After going through so many things, the previous Master of Dreams, Heigao'er, still had remnants here.

The most astonishing part was that it had entered the Soul Wilderness.

This is the interior of the Obelisk, the most secret place within the dream realm.

Rod did not fully trust the figure before him; he clearly remembered the last incident where Amon tried to corrupt his soul through the evil thoughts buried deep within Heigao'er's residual soul, polluting the dream realm.

If his willpower hadn't been as tough as steel, Amon would have succeeded.

After defeating the evil thoughts, Heigao'er's name on the tombstone turned completely black, while his own name seemed to ignite, as if only after this did he truly receive the dream realm's acknowledgment, becoming the complete Master of Dreams.

Thus, a list of "Dream Envoy" appeared behind the tombstone, and below it lay a heap of ashes from the corpse.

Rod remembered placing it in the storage of the House of God, and when his thought moved, the feedback from the dream realm arrived, allowing Rod to let out a sigh of relief—when the evil thoughts invaded, he was completely disconnected from the dream realm.

In the storage, all supplies were solidified in a special spacetime, without any change, except for the missing ashes!

Indeed!

This shadow is related to Heigao'er.

Rod watched him warily, ready to fight at any moment, though Amon had already been consumed, he couldn't be sure that there wouldn't be any remnants, the sense of security before him could be just an illusion.

The figure perceived his wariness but did not mind.

"I understand your caution."

He said in a calm tone.

"This was my mistake. Due to my failure, I was greatly polluted before my death, my corpse desecrated, my soul twisted and cursed, and the ancient evil thoughts tried to completely destroy me and the dream realm through this method... I'm sorry, I have to use the word 'dream realm,' this is your, the definition of the new Master of Dreams."

Rod's heart tensed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is the dream realm... defined by me?"

"Yes, only with the existence of the Master does the dream realm have meaning, without a Master, the dream realm is merely a concept, much like the law rules of the Sea of Source... Oh, you call it Source, this is why although they schemed against me, they did not pollute the dream realm."

Rod was confused: "What do you mean?"

The figure revealed a faint smile.

"Do you remember the moment you acquired the dream realm? Your brain felt like it was smashed by a hammer."

Rod frowned, immediately recalling it.

"Wasn't it because you... in your madness, attacked the Obelisk?"

The figure unabashedly said:

"Yes, that was my blackened, maddened Source Soul, at a time without a Master, the temporal flow of the dream realm ceased, it could not be observed, could not be touched, no entity, much like a law of Source, some kind of law-like principle… when you become its Master, everything began anew."

He paused for a moment.

"From the time of my death."

Rod hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then why later..."

The figure calmly said:

"You cast my soul into the Red Star, the Dark Devourer, which is the core of the dream realm, our essence, at the moment you become the Master of Dreams, you also become a Dark Devourer, an emissary of the Red Star."

"When the Master of Dreams dies, they return to the Star... until the next Master appears."

"Only due to the peculiarity of my death did the process experience some hiccups… thus burying a hidden danger, the evil thoughts hid in my soul within the Star, trying to strike you at a suitable moment, take over your body, alter your spirit, and thereby seize the dream realm, and eliminate the 'Life of Man.'"

The figure looked at him, eyes under the shadow full of complex emotions, and somewhat delighted.

"However, you, a foreigner Rod, foiled his conspiracy, defeated the terrifying evil thoughts, and did not let them succeed."

"Your willpower is astonishing, I once couldn't understand why you would become the Master of Dreams, but at that moment, I knew, the dream realm chooses any Master for a reason."

At this moment, Rod finally understood the whole story, feeling fortunate and couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of destiny, modestly saying, "Hahaha, yes, you are right."

"Certainly."

The figure's smile turned bitter.

"I am an exception, a pathetic failure like me should be permanently erased from the dream realm, not worthy of appearing on the tombstone."

Rod sympathized with Heigao'er's situation greatly but found himself unable to formulate comforting words and could only remain silent.

However, the figure did not continue speaking, his expression became serious.

"I am now going to tell you something very important, Adorlis and Aphro did not remember it in time to tell you, this is their serious dereliction of duty, had it been before, they would have received severe punishment, but now, this is within your authority."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"As I just said, the Red Star and Dark Devourer is the core of the dream realm, it is our essence, something beyond the soul."

"In the normal state, its power should be passed down from generation to generation."
