Chapter 329: Sunday sings in place of Robin! Wait, there's another master hidden!?
"Buzz—"
The cabin door opened.
Jing Yuan was perfectly calm and composed.
He stepped into the starship where the Astral Express Crew was gathered.
Right now.
The giant screen in front of them was showing the scene of Dan Heng preparing to use the Alliance Jade Abacus!
The background music was still the melody of the Xianzhou.
Jing Yuan instantly understood the situation.
He spoke up, "The friendship among the Nameless is indeed as touching as ever."
"General Jing Yuan is here!"
Everyone greeted him.
Dan Heng looked at Jing Yuan and said, "Jing Yuan, you mentioned before that Feathered Spirit revealed scenes of the future plot in a dream…"
"I think we are about to reach that part of the plot."
Jing Yuan nodded.
"Indeed. It seems this is the origin of you and me fighting side-by-side in the story."
Seeing how tacitly Dan Heng and Jing Yuan understood each other.
March 7th was stunned.
She couldn't help but ask, "What secret are you two hiding?"
"What on earth happened back on the Luofu?!"
Jing Yuan smiled faintly.
He didn't intend to hide anything at this point.
He then shared the scenes Feathered Spirit had previewed for him and the series of preparations he had made on the Luofu.
His words left everyone present in disbelief! After recovering from their astonishment.
March 7th said with some excitement, "So that means…"
"Next, there will be a scene where General Jing Yuan and Dan Heng fight side-by-side?"
"And it's a battle with both of them in their full-power states throughout?"
"Tsk tsk tsk…"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime scene. I must record it in advance when the time comes!"
Stelle nodded.
"It looks like the plot is about to reach that point."
"It's coming!"
Everyone continued to watch the story unfold.
The scene appearing now.
Was the conversation between Sunday and the Dream Master!
The sheer volume of information revealed in their exchange was extremely intriguing!
…
The raven representing the Dream Master asked, "Now is the critical moment. Tell me, where is the chosen one of the Harmony [ Robin ]?"
Hearing this.
Sunday turned around.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Am I not standing right here in front of you?"
The raven stared intently at Sunday, "You know that in our plan, she is the protagonist of the Charmony Festival."
"But plans change. As her brother, I know that singing for Order is certainly not her wish. I alone am enough here," Sunday replied calmly.
Dream Master: "Heh. You have been exceptionally intelligent since childhood. Surely you must understand what kind of price you will pay for your actions right now."
"If you consider this a betrayal…"
"There cannot be two suns in the sky. If necessary, I will shoot down the sun myself."
…
"Sunday-bro, he really makes me want to cry!"
"So domineering, Sunday-bro."
"Even though he chose this path… he still wants to protect his sister… his only family."
"Sure enough, I guessed right. Sunday-bro really wanted to take his sister's place!"
"Although I don't quite understand what the price is here, in the end, Sunday-bro is bearing everything alone!"
""Do you love your family more than you love yourself?""
"Sunday talked with his sister and knew he couldn't change her mind. Although they have differences, he would never force his sister."
"Woo woo woo, Sunday-bro…"
…
The Dream Master let out a chuckle.
"No matter. Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself in her stead, I shall fulfill your wish."
"The opening hour is nigh. Go, child. Usurp the authority of Harmony, and unveil your retribution."
Sunday: "Sir, I have one last question."
"Why did you choose to have Order descend upon Penacony? A desperate, dead-end world should have been a better choice, yet you chose this city of dreams where people harbor freedom in their hearts. Why?"
The Dream Master replied, "For the sake of fairness, child."
"If we lose the justice in our hearts, we will repeat the same mistakes of the Harmony."
Sunday seemed to catch some key information from this sentence.
He said, "So, the person using the Stellaron to manipulate the dreamscape is indeed not you, but—"
"Our conversation ends here. Do it, child. The one hundred and seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-six souls of the Oak Family have dreamed of this moment too many times…"
After the Dream Master finished speaking.
The possessed raven collapsed onto the ground.
And it wasn't just this one!
As the camera pulled back, the entire area was littered with the corpses of ravens!
Sunday fell silent for a moment.
He seemed to be mourning the departure of the Dream Master.
Then,
His gaze grew more and more resolute.
"I shall fly into the high heavens and become the sun in the sky."
"The masses shall grow passionately under my light, and all evils shall have nowhere to hide."
…
"Holy crap…"
"There's so much information in this dialogue…"
"Wait, wait, wait! Let me sort this out!"
"Does this mean besides Sunday and the Dream Master, there's another mastermind behind the scenes?"
"The one using the Stellaron to manipulate the dreamscape… is someone else?!"
"There's another boss?"
"BUT WHO IS IT!!! I'm so anxious!"
"Why did all these ravens die?"
"What's the situation? Did the Dream Master kick the bucket? No way, right?"
"Oh no, oh no, why does it feel like the story is just getting started?"
…
This conversation between Sunday and the Dream Master made many players feel a bit of existential dread!
The bullet comments were also discussing it endlessly.
But information regarding this part was simply too scarce.
They could only continue watching the story!
At this moment.
The perspective returned to the Express Crew!
Everyone arrived at the Penacony Grand Theater.
However,
The massive theater was now completely empty.
Only the echoing footsteps reverberated in the deep corridor.
March 7th remarked timidly, "Oh my gosh, the atmosphere in this Grand Theater is way too eerie. It's so creepy…"
"Even if the audience hasn't entered yet, there should at least be some staff. Why isn't there any sound at all…"
"Oh my god—you scared me! Why are there so many… puppets at this ticket booth?"
And soon.
Sunday's voice echoed in the empty theater.
"I am waiting for you all behind the curtain. Before the grand ceremony begins, following the ancient tradition of Asdana, I would like to invite you all to watch three pre-show plays."
"History is a mirror; it reflects the most authentic face of the cosmos. We can also take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the history of Penacony and the Aeons."
"And the outline of the future—naturally reveals itself within."
"Why don't we start from the very beginning of creation—"
…
"No way! He's really starting from the creation of heaven and earth?"
"These puppets look so creepy!"
"Listening to this Grand Theater background music too much makes me feel a bit dizzy."
"I feel like it's assimilating me, making me join the Order!"
"I'm starting to feel more and more that staying in Penacony to dream is not a good thing…"
"My condolences to the Penacony players…"
