But at the same time, he was also acutely aware that as his power and influence grew, he would face increasingly complex situations.
The approach of Uphemia, the continued attention from high-level entities like Cassandra and the King of Illusions, and the various undercurrents in the New Star Plan...
"I need to handle each relationship more cautiously..."
With this thought, Ron gradually slipped into a light sleep.
But just as his consciousness was about to fully sink, that familiar feeling of lucid dreaming came again.
The boundary of reality began to blur, and the metal walls of the isolation room twisted and deformed like melting candles.
The orderly rune circuits began to writhe crazily, like a group of living snakes struggling desperately.
"Another pull from the Dream Realm..."
Ron was not alarmed; from his previous experiences, he had learned to maintain composure during such supernatural encounters.
The unique scenery of Fairyland began to emerge around him, but this time the presentation was clearer and more stable.
Those Floating Islands were no longer just vague outlines, but real landscapes with rich details.
Rainbow waterfalls poured down from the sky, flowing with liquid emotions, each drop containing different memory fragments.
Those Crystal Palaces floated in mid-air.
Each one displayed a different structure, with interiors shimmering with light representing various fields of knowledge.
"Welcome once again to my realm, young seeker."
The voice of the King of Illusions rang out like a heavenly melody, and this time the communication was noticeably clearer and more stable.
"It seems your consciousness projection is more stable this time than before."
Ron politely bowed and activated "Extraordinary Recognition" to observe the environmental changes:
"The Energy Fluctuation in Fairyland is also more harmonious, what is the reason?"
"Because I have reached some agreements with Uther."
The King of Illusions smiled mysteriously but did not explain too clearly:
"Moreover, with the increase in your Spiritual Power, you’re able to withstand higher-level information transmission."
As he spoke, the surrounding scenery began to undergo subtle changes.
The originally floating islands began to rearrange themselves in a certain pattern, forming a large circular conference hall.
At the center were several chairs made of pure light, surrounded by crystal screens displaying various information.
"Please sit, we have many important matters to discuss."
Ron sat down in the chair, feeling the warmth from the light chair.
The sensation was peculiar; although it was a dream realm, the tactile feeling was incredibly real.
"First, let me commend you on your performance in the Abyss."
The eyes of the King of Illusions flashed with an appreciative glow:
"Your relationship with Nari exceeded my most optimistic expectations.
You not only gained a powerful ally, more importantly, you found a new model for power growth."
Ron frowned slightly; he didn’t like the feeling of being constantly under intense scrutiny.
The King of Illusions seemed to notice his discomfort, chuckling softly:
"Heh heh... being watched by us proves you have enough value, rather than being a forgotten corpse in the Abyss."
"Let’s not talk about that today. I contacted you to tell you about some deeper secrets.
About that Blood Race girl approaching you, about the truth behind the Blood Moon Clan, and... about a great game you might be part of."
Hearing these words, Ron’s expression became serious.
With someone of the King of Illusions’ level, such a high-cost cross-realm communication would not happen without reason.
There must be extremely important information to convey.
"Please elaborate."
"Uphemia Pellet... the white-haired girl claiming to be a prodigy of the Blood Moon Clan..."
The voice of the King of Illusions grew deep, and the surrounding crystal screens began to display related images:
"She is indeed a creation of the King of Blood, Aiden, but her very existence is part of an intricately planned conspiracy."
The screen showed images of Uphemia.
But this time they did not showcase her elegant beauty, but the bloody scenes of her creation.
Countless test subjects were twisted and deformed in agony.
The failed "daughters" were ruthlessly destroyed, while Aiden watched each detail with a sick sense of satisfaction.
"Aiden thought he was executing a top-secret personal plan..."
The King of Illusions spoke with a tone of mockery:
"He believed that by creating Uphemia, he could infiltrate the highest echelons of the Wizard World to fulfill his ambitions.
But in reality, every step he took was within our expectations."
"We?" Ron astutely picked up on the keyword.
"Me, and the King of Absurdity, Hector."
The King of Illusions did not hold back, directly revealing this astonishing information:
"Though we rarely collaborate directly, in dealing with Aiden, we share common interests."
