Chapter 1277 — Imaginary Entities

A murky, hazy sky hung over the dead, colossal city. There was no sun and no stars, only a layer of uniform, dim yellow light spread across the heavens. The city was magnificent and grand, yet silent and utterly devoid of human voice—a dead divine realm displaying the appearance of "death." And in this vast, desolate place, a group of new visitors was now arriving.
Amber widened her eyes, nervously watching the movements around her. Only after confirming that nothing was going to suddenly leap out and give her a beating did she relax slightly. Then her gaze swept over the distant high walls and the silhouettes of palaces, and she muttered thoughtfully, "This place looks completely different from the area around the Lady of the Night's throne... I thought the God of War's divine realm would be an open, empty place too."
"Different divine realms are naturally not the same," Gao Yang glanced at Amber and said offhandedly. "What they present is the appearance sketched out by their believers based on myths and legends. Different churches will do everything in their power to depict a 'heavenly scenery' different from everyone else's—in a sense, this is also an important means by which they attract their respective congregations."
"Then I'd definitely love the divine realms of the Three Gods of Abundance or the God of Commerce," Amber said, her eyes lighting up at once and her face breaking into a smile. "They say in the gardens of the Three Gods of Abundance, beer and honey flow everywhere, the trees are laden with fresh fruit that never rots, and in the center of the garden there's a long table with enough delicacies to feast countless people. As for the God of Commerce's divine realm, money is everywhere—people build their houses out of gold and gemstones..."
Mojin, who had been curiously surveying the surrounding scenery, couldn't help turning her head to glance at this "Imperial Intelligence Minister" upon hearing this: "If gold is everywhere in the world, wouldn't gold become as worthless as stone..."
"Let the God of Commerce worry about the problem of gold depreciation," Amber said with a careless wave of her hand, fully displaying her attitude toward the domain of the gods. "Can't I just like things that are gold and shiny?"
Gao Yang couldn't help but sigh as he listened: "If I didn't know your background, sometimes I'd really suspect you were raised by a dragon..."
Metzen and Noretta rolled their eyes simultaneously beside her, but Amber's train of thought had already extended further. This disgrace of the alliance, who had always possessed a peculiar logic, had apparently rummaged through something in her head, and suddenly, as if discovering a new world, she said excitedly, "I think I've got an idea... Look, we can already come to the God of War's divine realm now without being contaminated. So what if our technology in the domain of the gods keeps developing—could there come a day when we can freely enter and exit other gods' realms without waging a divine war? Then we could just run straight to the God of Commerce's divine realm and rob them, or go find the Three Gods of Abundance..."
At these words, not to mention Gao Yang and Mojin and the others, even the white knights nearby who were meticulously carrying out their duties fell into a strange, stunned silence. Metzen and Noretta, both dragons, exchanged glances, while Amber grew more and more excited the more she thought about it: "That's not all! If we successfully master the patterns of thought currents, we could even use them to create something, then run to the corresponding divine realm and steal... I mean, take..."
Gao Yang stared dumbfounded at Amber, whose thoughts had suddenly gone off the rails. It took him two full seconds to react: "Good grief, are you exploiting a bug here?"
