80-20 Hope for replacement
Using a bone grappling hook, he swung across the endless, pale black plain. He spotted a person with a drooping head, like a walking corpse, and immediately used his left hand to pull the person over, grabbing them and examining them.
"This is...being controlled?" Erotic stared intently at the vacant eyes of the person before him. The person trembled, absorbing black energy from the surroundings, then reached for Erotic. Erotic quickly dropped him, and the person fell straight to the ground, then stiffly scrambled to his feet, grabbing at the air. "Almost! Luckily, he wasn't caught. This control technique isn't working; he's become an idiot." Erotic hung in the air, looking down at the person below. The torn fabric of his shirt fluttered in the air, a wisp of black energy drifting by.
Suddenly, a wisp of black energy pierced through the wall, followed by a beam of black light blasting through it. Qinglan immediately used her musical note cushion, combined with Yan Fuxue's ice wall, to block the black beam. Qinglan grabbed Yan Fuxue's hand and quickly ran towards the exit in the distance: "Why does it feel like there are fewer and fewer people in Mengdi?" The black light blocked their path ahead, so Qinglan pulled Yan Fuxue to another direction. Yan Fuxue lowered her head and thought for a moment: "It's most likely related to the Ghost Dream, the Scent, and that group of mysterious people who started the riot. These alone are enough to kill or cause many people to go missing." Light appeared ahead, and Qinglan was somewhat disappointed: "First it was Mo Bei, then Elder Yan Huayue, and now even the wanted criminals and the mysterious people have disappeared. Isn't Dongfang Wo Mengtian going to do anything about it?" Yan Fuxue was pulled onto the street outside and raised her hand to create an ice wall to block the incoming black light: "Dongfang Wo Mengtian might also be a victim." The ice wall shattered, and a figure appeared—it was Yan Manhua.
Just as Yan Fuxue was about to create an ice wall, she was pierced through by a burst of fire. It was… Peak Fire! She grabbed Yan Manhua with one hand, while flames surged in her other palm. Yan Fuxue reacted immediately; this was to help them, and she created an ice wall to block Yan Manhua's escape route. Meanwhile, Qinglan attacked from behind using musical notes.
Yan Manhua unleashed a beam of black light that pierced through the musical notes. Qing Lan dodged to the side, but the light pierced through the hem of his clothing, leaving nothing behind. Seeing the fate of his clothes, Qing Lan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear: "Luckily, I'm blessed with good fortune and exceptional intelligence."
When these words reached Feng Huo's ears, she confirmed that her previous attack had not harmed Yan Fuxue, and then slammed down her fist, sparks flying everywhere.
Taking advantage of the moment Feng Huo raised his hand, Yan Manhua unleashed a black beam of light that pierced through Feng Huo at lightning speed. Feng Huo's control core was damaged, the images displayed on the hibernation pod immediately disappeared, and the sound became distorted. Feng Huo's true form, lying in the hibernation pod, watched this scene with a cold gaze. Flames gathered at the severed hand, and a nearby tube drew in the flames, channeling Feng Huo's fire power into the new puppet, while he continuously chanted, "Yan Fuxue..." As the flames continued to charge, a red light shone in the puppet's eyes.
Red lights flashed incessantly along the street, lined with rows of rubble. Yan Manhua wandered the street, searching for the two hiding people: "You rats who sneaked away while others were being killed, come out!" Qinglan's voice came from behind her: "Why did you destroy this place? And what was that scam?" Yan Manhua fired a black beam, but it was just a broadcast.
Yan Manhua snorted coldly: "Elder Yan Huayue raised us all these years, and we used to respect her very much, but one day..."
A starship appeared in a crater, and a person crawled out. Yan Manhua noticed this person walking in the woods and walked up to him: "What trouble have you encountered?" The person replied: "I was suddenly swept in and don't know how to get out." Yan Manhua was a little shocked: "You're an outsider?" The person looked around: "Yes, I wanted to go to the Star Prison to see Lord Momo Xiao. I couldn't stand the corrupt atmosphere of Elysium. I heard about Raymond Gateres from someone and wanted to rush over, but who knew I would fall into the Max Rift!" Upon hearing that he was an outsider, Yan Manhua immediately took him to Yan Huayue: "Elder! Look who I brought! This is an outsider!" Yan Huayue brewed a pot of tea and filled their cups: "Well done, Yan Manhua. I'll bestow upon you the title of 'Max Detective'." Yan Manhua was overjoyed to hear this: "So finding someone outside can get you the title you want!" He then happily headed out.
Yan Huayue learned from the inquiry that this person's name was Yan-Meng-Fanni. As an alien, it was truly fate that he could collide with one of the three major surnames of the Great Rift.
After some discussion, Yan Huayue organized a trip to Eastern Moriamlin, where Yan Manhua and Fan Ni would search for a way out. Since Yan Huayue was already quite old, even if she went out, it wouldn't be of much use. It was better to let the two "Giant Hopes" and those who had inadvertently gotten involved escape; at least that would have some meaning.
Yan Huayue, disguised as Xian Niancheng, protected them all the way to the Dreamland, and then, under the alias Hong Qi, guided them towards the "Max Glacier".
However, after slaying countless Dream Eaters and enduring the Dream Ritual until its conclusion, the three of them still failed to gain the "Approval of Qingyan," the symbol of hope. They then began to question Hong Qi, who had mysteriously disappeared. The three of them remained in the Dream Realm and its edges for an unknown period, devising a revenge plan along the way, convinced that they couldn't be the only ones deceived. Finally, when the next Dream Ritual arrived and they saw Hong Qi again, all their rage could no longer be contained.
Qinglan, Yan Fuxue, and Yan Manhua stared at each other. Yan Manhua said, "This is the liar, Black Pattern Lord."
