When Pei Guang appeared before, the futures Pei Guang brought aligned with Elio's expectations.
But as their party adventured more, combined with this Dreamscape being truly too abstract and free, plus too many things causing trouble in the Dreamscape world, it led to Elio seeing very bad endings.
Like that future seen before where both lit up the Path of Propagation. That future couldn't even be described as good or bad: it's straight-up a fever dream. That would be like living in the cursed timeline, where things have reached pure insanity levels.
If it were just a purely possible future, Elio wouldn't intervene. Because futures are countless, and walking down that kind of future would purely be Pei Guang's brain malfunctioning, choosing that line where no one could stop him.
But what was seen before wasn't just a crazy deviation into that plotline, but rather, according to Pei Guang and Stelle's current actions, there was a very high probability of walking into the cursed timeline.
However, fortunately, this could also be intervened. Compared to futures seen before, futures with Pei Guang present were often... surprisingly easy to intervene in.
Because... the result Pei Guang fundamentally wants to obtain isn't that abstract.
The reason there are so many different results is essentially that Pei Guang is influenced by the people around him.
As a lonely player from another world, the degree of his doting on the people around him made even Kafka feel a bit ridiculous.
As for the intervention method? That requires Sunday to put in some effort.
According to the original script, Sunday would cause great chaos in Penacony, and the Nameless of the Astral Express would rely on their own strength, luck, and connections to finally defeat this strong enemy.
But because of Pei Guang's insertion, the one executing this plan has now become the Dreammaster himself.
As for who the vessel is? Kafka didn't know, because Elio didn't reveal too much information.
However, according to Elio's description, who the vessel is has no impact on the subsequent actions. Instead, it might make Sunday join a bit more readily? But only a bit.
Kafka and Sunday communicated happily. After a series of ideological constructions, Sunday had decided to help.
But as for leaving? Silver Wolf didn't let Sunday leave, but let him continue staying in the trash can.
The communication ended.
Sunday looked at Silver Wolf beside him: "I have already agreed to cooperate with you, you can let me go now, right?"
Silver Wolf: "So sorry, Ah Guang and I are in the same group. Although I cooperate with the Stellaron Hunters to do some things, I won't secretly cause trouble for Ah Guang. But when it's time to release you, I will release you. Heh heh~ Just wait until he sees my surprise move and that look of shock on his face~"
While the Stellaron Hunters and Sunday were conducting a transaction, Pei Guang and Stelle, who were playing around in the Penacony Dreamscape, also successfully played to the final level.
The first level was acting: the two had no pressure and let everyone see their acting skills that didn't look like acting.
The second adventure level, Pei Guang and Stelle played as Hanu brothers, one rocket launcher each, fully demonstrating what is called 'insufficient firepower phobia'.
However, when the two arrived at this third level and saw the target to be challenged in this level, both sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.
That red long hair, that gorgeous armor… just seeing this flashy appearance made Pei Guang excited.
Because the person in front of him was none other than Argenti, whom he had met once before.
No, saying they met once isn't quite right. Before on the train, when they fought the True Sting together, Pei Guang helped Argenti understand what Beauty was, and even pulled over Elysia wearing the Robe of Beauty to brainwash Argenti a bit.
Pei Guang remembered Argenti was spreading Beauty all over the world, and even planned to find Elysia personally.
How did he suddenly appear in Penacony?
Seeing Pei Guang and Stelle appear, Argenti's eyes also lit up: "May the glory of Beauty be with you. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Your two warm faces are like a spring breeze in this restless moment."
Pei Guang: "Thanks for the compliment. But speaking of which, how is your promotion of Beauty going along the way?"
Hearing this sentence, Argenti became happy all over: "The method Your Excellency taught is indeed very effective. Many people have already realized Beauty, and even more have joined the Pristine Elysia to praise Idrila's Beauty together! Amen!"
Looking at the still devout Argenti, Pei Guang sighed with emotion.
Thinking back, he had dragged Elysia along to bluff Argenti, but he didn't expect Argenti to actually carry it out.
For this kind of person willing to adhere to their own beliefs, Pei Guang still hoped the other party could achieve their ideals. If they really couldn't achieve them, he would also be very happy to accept Argenti's quest.
Pei Guang: "Very good! It seems your understanding of Beauty is more thorough. I hope to understand Beauty and the Amen with you, but regretfully, I need to save this world, to make this terrible world better. May I pass?"
Argenti: "Save the world? Make the world better? What a Beautiful act of righteousness. But... no, the audition rules are sacred and inviolable, just like Beauty itself. How should I choose?"
Pei Guang: "You might not know the truth; this city is built upon a Stellaron and the sacrifices of countless people. You know me, I wouldn't joke about this kind of issue."
Hearing Pei Guang's answer, Argenti closed his eyes. He recalled that adventure with Pei Guang.
That time, he saw Pei Guang's pure and flawless heart. To outsiders, Pei Guang might not seem quite normal, but in Argenti's eyes, Pei Guang's inner self was so beautiful.
And Pei Guang even let him see the most perfect beauty of humanity in this world. How could a person recognized by such Beauty be a cunning villain?
Although he didn't feel the overflow of the Stellaron's power, he still chose to believe Pei Guang.
"I… understand. You are indeed a person with such a beautiful heart, a person recognized by the flawless beauty of humanity. Go! My best friend, the laurels of the audition belong to you."
Pei Guang: "Thanks, but... I still have some things I need your help with here. The city of Penacony is truly too dangerous; I cannot guarantee our battle will be a victory. Argenti! Can I ask you to call in some manpower? Let us fight for a better Penacony together."
Argenti felt Pei Guang's burning heart; he could be sure that Pei Guang was truly doing what he could for a better Penacony.
Even the Trailblazers had gone to such lengths, so as a Knight of Beauty, he naturally couldn't fall behind: "I understand. I will contact the Knights of Beauty who can make it here. Let us fight for a better Penacony together!"
Pei Guang: "Thanks a lot. Then we will head to the final stage."
Argenti: "Go. The champion's stage belongs to you two, and I will block anyone who would destroy the beauty of Penacony for you."
Pei Guang and Stelle continued forward.
However, what Pei Guang didn't know was what kind of stuff this request for Argenti's help would actually attract.
After separating from Pei Guang back then, Argenti had been promoting Beauty while heading to Penacony.
If nothing else, just in Penacony, he had saved thirty-two people. And among these thirty-two people, one-third came to believe in the Amen.
After all, compared to the abstract concept of Beauty, the image of the Amen that Argenti promoted was more concrete. Moreover, by believing in the Amen, they truly felt a spiritual baptism.
Regardless of the world, when it comes to faith in so-called gods, most people are pragmatists.
