Chapter 2841: Chapter 1212: The Entanglements of the Gods (Part 3)

Gaven had always been very attentive to the Goddess of Dark Night, but he had never been able to trace her whereabouts.

Of course, this was related to Gaven’s inability to use his secular power openly.

There was no way around it; the Goddess of Dark Night is a deity in Felen who governs secrets, and once an action is taken, even a secret one.

It would be like informing the Goddess of Dark Night and her believers.

They would in turn start paying attention to Gaven.

Sometimes, doing nothing at all is a more effective strategy.

Or like the Wall-Facer, hiding everything within one’s heart and investigating on one’s own.

In cases where the spread of secrets is limited and doesn’t pose a threat, the Goddess of Dark Night can’t detect them.

After all, her energy is limited; even if not infinite, the secrets in a world are numberless, and if the Goddess of Dark Night were to listen to every secret in people’s hearts, she couldn’t manage even with thousands of clones.

But if exposed right in front of her, it would be hard to maintain secrecy.

Since Mother Earth took the initiative to bring this up, she had no intention of hiding anything and replied truthfully, "It’s to kill Laila’s divine office of dreams in the cradle, to prevent her from developing it and assisting me against the Dark Night Giant Snake.

And to prevent the weakening of her night power by the dream divine office, as when night falls and everyone is immersed in wonderful dreams.

Who would pray to her? Who would fear, honor her?"

"I knew the dream divine office would attract the gods’ covetousness, but never thought it would threaten the Lady of the Night’s interests." Gaven’s expression changed dramatically.

Because the situation with Lady of Mist could very likely fall upon Lord Virginia and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

It seemed Mother Earth had guessed Gaven’s thoughts and reassured him, "Your situation is a bit different from Lady of Mist.

Lady of Mist’s believers are mainly humans, while your Dragon Oak Dream Realm is a natural dream realm dominated by nature spirits, with a focus on the Fairy Wilderness where the Dark Night Mother’s power is weakest.

Moreover, she is cautious by nature and won’t act rashly without complete certainty.

Otherwise, I would have warned you in our first meeting."

Regarding the Lady of the Night, Mother Earth shared a similar approach to Gaven’s; avoid mentioning her unless absolutely necessary, which is the best form of protection.

Until it becomes inevitable, as is the case now.

Gaven and the others had already extended their grasp to the Dark Night Giant Snake.

"I still don’t quite understand why the Lady of the Night would protect the Dark Night Giant Snake. Is there some connection between them?" Mother Earth’s reassurance hadn’t much comforted Gaven.

Because they had already extended their reach to the Material Plane, reaching out to humans.

Once the dream network comes online, it will inevitably enter thousands of households, letting all creatures in the world share one dream, one network.

He could fully imagine the impact his plan would have on the Goddess of Dark Night if successful.

This impact goes beyond fear and terror of the night; it extends to the divine position of secrets.

The preservation of many secrets benefits from inconvenient information flow.

When information begins to flow efficiently and quickly, secrets won’t entirely disappear, but will significantly diminish, and many things will become open and transparent.

This is naturally a blow to the protector of secrets.

It’s not just the divine position of dreams, but also his own development and construction stand in opposition to the Goddess of Dark Night.

When a thousand lights shine brightly, it’s also when the Goddess of Dark Night’s power further weakens.

In places like Waterdeep City and Baldur’s Gate, cities of no night, the Goddess of Dark Night’s power is weakened to the extreme, far outmatched by the secret-preserving divine position.

Given the nature of this goddess, she absolutely won’t sit by and watch such a situation unfold.

Mother Earth sighed deeply and said, "In talking about this matter, it’s necessary to repeat the old tale and trace back to the struggle between light and darkness.

The Dark Night Mother has always wanted to return the world to the primordial, original world, and the best way is to return Planet Toril to eternal stillness.

The Dark Night Giant Snake is her tool; she planted the evil seed of destruction into my nightmare, birthing this ancient evil being."

"Goddess of Dark Night! Dark Night Giant Snake! Nightmare Devourer! I should have connected the dots earlier!" Gaven finally pieced everything together.

In this world, nothing is truly isolated.

Even these ancient evil beings can be traced back to their origins, usually found among the gods, especially those ancient gods, whose roots are deeply intertwined in a complex relationship of love and hate.

Lord Virginia timely spoke from the side, "Lady, we are willing to relieve your worries and resolve this nightmare, suppress and weaken this ancient evil being, contributing our share for the stability of this world."

Gaven listened from the side, and secretly couldn’t help but praise.

Truly worthy of being the lady he trained; not only partnering well with him, but also speaking beautifully.

Absolutely not mentioning the Lady of the Night, nor the difficulties of the matter, completely standing on Mother Earth’s side and speaking for justice and righteousness.

But once they fully engage in the matter, battling against the ancient evil being, the Dark Night Giant Snake, within the dream realm.

Can Mother Earth just turn a blind eye?

The Lady of the Night possesses strong divine power, and so does Mother Earth.

The last time, Mother Earth had already stumbled with Lady of Mist; she couldn’t possibly fall into the same pit twice.

Mother Earth inadvertently revealed a hint of delight; this was the answer she had been waiting for. She nodded slightly and said, "Your willingness is appreciated, but you absolutely cannot act rashly like you did this time.

The strength and tenacity of the ancient evil beings far exceed your imagination.

Not to mention that you’re now only demigods, even if you’ve forged a divine soul and become true gods, once invaded by their evil Will, they can silently and invisibly corrupt you from within."
