Hao Ren blinked. It took a few seconds before he realized he had left the illusion and was back in reality.

This illusion was different from previous experiences. It was wider, weirder, and longer, and it was even divided into ‘two layers’. Hao Ren could be sure that the layer of dark fog was actually the border of the illusion, but he went deeper into the illusion after touching the dark fog. This was an unprecedented phenomenon for him.

It seemed that these illusions related to the Goddess of Creation still have many unsolved mysteries, and they were worth exploring.

Where was the planet full of crystals and lightning? What was that domed hall with huge crystal clusters? And the crystal throne, and the suspected figure of the Goddess of Creation… What did this scene mean? What were they trying to tell him?

Hao Ren frowned and shook his head, and problems emerged in his mind one after another, which left him standing there in a trance until he was hit by a data terminal in the head. “Hey… How dare you smash me?”

“I’ve hit you so many times, you should have already get used to it.” The data terminal yelled without any guilt and flashed the bright light in front of Hao Ren. “Are you awake? Do I need to hit you again?”

“Go away…” Hao Ren waved the data terminal flying in front of him away and muttered, “Just now I fell into an illusion, just like when I touched the Gilded Disc before. I saw a strange planet and a figure looking like the Goddess of Creation… How long have I been unconscious?”

“Nearly half an hour!” The data terminal suddenly raised its voice, “It’s too long I have to wake you up!”

“I didn’t realize it. Tell Nolan to come down and take both of us back first. Is there anything unusual about the Crimson Moon when I was in the illusion?”

“There are many abnormal changes. First of all, the crystals suddenly lit up, and secondly, a frightening holographic projection suddenly projected from the moon surface into space, optimistically estimating that the entire Aerym can see it. Also…”

Halfway through the conversation, a violent tremor suddenly spread across the dwarf planet.

Hao Ren saw the scene suddenly blurred, all the crystals and the seabed beneath his feet were shaking violently, too, and then the scene in front of him disappeared. He then saw the normal cosmic stars reappearing in front of him. The stars appeared for a moment, then the place was filled with red sea water and crystal seabed, and he felt the pressure of seawater. But a moment later, all this disappeared again, and the stars appeared again…

Hao Ren was stunned before he realized that the Crimson Moon was collapsing, ‘flickering’ like a fading giant holographic projection!

“What happened?” The first thing he thought about was Vivian, who was holding the summoning ritual and immediately connected to Aerym. “Vivian? How are you doing?”

However, it was Nangong Wuyue who answered him, and she sounded panic. “Landlord! Something happened! The summoning ritual is interrupted!”

Hao Ren watched the rapidly disappearing Crimson Moon, and the dark universe and the bright stars were filling his field of vision. “I know, the Crimson Moon is disappearing – what the hell is going on? What about Vivian? How is she doing?”

As he spoke, he signaled the data terminal to get ready for teleportation to the spacecraft: he was going to return to the New Aerym immediately.

“Vivian… I don’t know. She’s surrounded by a storm. We can’t see what’s going on inside” Nangong Wuyue sounded like she was about to cry.

“A storm? What storm? What about Lily? Shouldn’t she perform an emergency termination when the ritual is out of control?”

“Lily rushed up when the ritual broke down just now but hasn’t landed yet…” Wuyue answered anxiously.

“What do you mean? It’s okay, calm down, I’m going back now! Go and hide in a safe place. Maybe we’ll need your healing power later!”

After that, he had disappeared into a white beam of light with the data terminal, and the last shadow of the Crimson Moon quietly collapsed after they left. The supernatural dwarf planet disappeared and the universe returned to darkness.

In just a few minutes, Hao Ren returned to the Royal Mage Tower in Minas Elenion.

The hall used for the summoning ritual was in a mess. He finally understood what Wuyue meant by ‘a storm’.

In preparation for the summoning ritual, the dome on the top floor of the Royal Mage Tower had been opened, and the entire ritual hall was directly exposed to the night sky. At this moment, a blood-red tornado was lurking in the hall. The top half of the tornado was so high above the dome that the tower appeared to grow a wobbly funnel-shaped ‘hat’ out of thin air, while the lower half of the tornado was rooted in the place where Vivian stood before. It was surrounded by a powerful energy field and storm, and nobody could see what was going on inside.

The tornado, with its mournful whistle, steadily and furiously tearing everything within its reach. The precise array in the ritual hall had been torn to pieces by this powerful energy. Precious crystals and magic metals rose with the whirlwind and were ground into powder in the process. The walls and floors of the hall were also crisscrossed with deep cracks.

People in the hall had been evacuated to the vicinity of the entrance. Hilda stood there, leading the magic masters to open a powerful barrier of energy. Everyone hid behind the barrier, seemingly unharmed. Nangong Wuyue also waved her tail to greet Hao Ren as she saw him.

What’s going on here?” Hao Ren asked aloud as he ran to the barrier with his Steel Membrane Shield.

“There are no casualties here, but we have no idea what is going on inside the storm.” Nangong Sanba answered aloud. “Hilda just cut off the energy supply of the ritual hall, but the tornado shows no signs of abating. The thing is now entirely dependent on Vivian’s own magic!”

“How could this be, how could a summoning ritual suddenly produce such a tornado…” Hao Ren clenched his fist and looked in the direction of the tornado. “The tornado is still here, meaning that Vivian is ok for now, but she’s definitely out of control… Where is Lily?”

Nangong Wuyue pointed to the middle of the tornado with the tip of her tail, trembling. “There she is, the white one.”

Hao Ren saw a white figure at the middle of the tornado. And the one whirling rapidly with the storm was Lily, shouting and screaming as she held up the huge alloy X10 sword.

“Lily!” Hao Ren was startled to see this scene.

“Landlord– I can’t come down now– You see, I’m waving at you!”

Her voice went up and down as she was trapped inside the tornado.

“Are you all right?”

“I’m–good, just a little–dizzy!”

Knowing that Lily was doing well, he quickly asked about Vivian. “How’s Vivian?”

“She is–in a trance!” shouted the husky girl. “She looks–all right! I have a–plan…”

“What plan?”

“I try to spin–synchronously in the direction of the–tornado! Then I can catch–that bat!” said Lily as she trying to spin into the tornado.

Hao Ren, “…”

Moments later, Lily was thrown around a dozen times by the tornado.

“Landlord,–my plan failed. I feel–dizzier than before!”

He knew it!

Hao Ren adjusted the output of the Steel Membrane Shield to the maximum. At the same time, he took out a set of adjusting devices from his dimensional pocket and tied them to his waist, striding toward the tornado.

His eyes were full of the crimson tornado.

Even with the aid of the adjusting device, Hao Ren was almost overturned when he came into contact with the tornado. He could feel the terrible wind pressure acting on his Steel Membrane Shield, making the shield shine brighter than ever. The squeaky noise was constantly coming from all around, giving a terrible illusion that the shield was about to break. The torn fragments and stones kept hitting him and that made him feel like he was traveling through the rain of bullets.

In such a bad situation, he strode forward with all his strength. It was useless to observe with the naked eyes because there was no visibility at all here. He could only release his mental power and feel the extraordinarily powerful energy reaction not far away.

No doubt that’s Vivian’s direction.

Despite the difficulties, the shortest route was to travel from the bottom of the tornado. As long as he could withstand the most violent tornado, he could approach Vivian as fast as possible.

Hao Ren felt as if he had walked for a century, but it only took a few minutes. He felt a sudden lightness on his body, and then the scene before him suddenly became clear.

He came to the eye of the storm.

Vivian was floating quietly about half a meter above the eye of the storm, looking up at the starry sky.

“Vivian! How are you?”

Vivian turned her head slowly, smiled as she saw Hao Ren.

“Hao Ren, I remember it. The Goddess of Creation is the leader of the god-slayers.”
