[The sudden disappearance of the Dreammaster did not mean Ye Yu had perished, nor that he had left Eastern Extreme Divine Mountain.]
[Rather, Ye Yu had realized that randomly waiting for gods to come seeking dream fulfillment was far too inefficient.]
[Now that he had already reached the Golden God Realm, completing ordinary-difficulty dreams no longer rewarded cultivation but instead returned godstones and rare heavenly-earth treasures.]
[Those meant nothing to Ye Yu.]
[As for the difficult dreams, they gave only a little cultivation, and not much at that.]
[If he relied on that method to accumulate power, he would probably be worn out before any real progress was made.]
[Yes, from the start Ye Yu had indeed intended to make the Dreammaster title famous on Eastern Extreme Divine Mountain so that gods would continually come to him with dreams to be fulfilled.]
[Thus forming a cycle to accelerate his advancement.]
[But now it seemed that idea had been a bit too simplistic.]
[Once again: high-tech, high-precision — it had to be high-precision.]
[So Ye Yu spent a month and dispatched two God Sovereign–level and three Ancient God–level strongmen to search out gods with tragic fates.]
[What? Why not send only God Sovereign–level experts?]
[It was not that Ye Yu did not want to, but suitable ones simply could not be found.]
[God Sovereign–level experts were not as common as cabbages in the God Realm; you had to encounter them by chance.]
[Still, it was odd: in the recent two dreams, powerful figures were everywhere, God Sovereigns appeared in droves.]
[But when he wanted fallen God Sovereigns suitable for Demonic Conversion, none could be found — it was strange indeed.]
[No matter; two God Sovereigns paired with three Ancient Gods were already enough to handle most situations.]
[As for why they sought gods with tragic fates, the reason was simple.]
[Those gods were tragic figures, burdened with deep hatred; each harbored someone they wanted dead but could not kill.]
[Their resentment was long-standing, and the chance of them completing it alone was nearly zero.]
[In that case, the dream’s difficulty naturally rose.]
[If Ye Yu intervened and successfully aided them in fulfilling that dream, the reward would likely be rich.]
[Of course, this was only Ye Yu’s hypothesis; the final outcome still had to be tested.]
[At last, after the five Demonic Conversion escorters searched, they found a seemingly perfect candidate.]
[Under their guidance, Ye Yu arrived above the Source of the Divine Sea.]
[According to the First Escorter, deep beneath the sea three thousand li below, there was an array barrier, inside which a disfigured woman was imprisoned.]
[Her strength was not high — only Heavenly God Realm — yet eight thousand Divine-Sealing Nails had pierced her divine body.]
[On her forehead there remained a fairly high-grade healing divine talisman.]
[Clearly, the intent was to let this woman suffer endless torment while being unable to die.]
[The method was extremely cruel.]
[Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and entered the sea region with the First Escorter.]
[Sure enough, it matched what had been said exactly.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk — what a deep hatred this must be to do this to someone.]
[Ye Yu immediately ordered the First Escorter to rescue the woman.]
[Whether she was righteous or evil — did it matter?]
[Helping her fulfill her dream was merely to increase his own strength; her stance meant nothing.]
[After all, in the world of this dream, whatever was done here would be overwritten upon awakening.]
[So nothing really mattered.]
[It was worth noting that the person who had set up this array barrier was very cunning.]
[Besides the visible array barrier on the surface, there was another hidden mechanism.]
[When the First Escorter forcibly broke the array barrier, the mechanism suddenly triggered.]
[Several divine talismans burst forth; even though the First Escorter was a God Sovereign–level powerhouse, he nearly perished.]
[Seeing this, Ye Yu’s curiosity about the woman’s identity deepened.]
[A mere Heavenly God Realm being — would they lay such a high-spec defense?]
[That seemed somewhat excessive.]
[And the First Escorter, truly one who had died once before, was not to be trifled with.]
[He forced his way forward with a severed arm, carrying the woman to Ye Yu’s side.]
[He then drew out the eight thousand Divine-Sealing Nails embedded in her.]
[Honestly, Ye Yu almost developed trypophobia from the sight.]
[The woman, her face unrecognizable, collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, but when she looked at Ye Yu her gaze was full of emotion; she tried to speak.]
[Alas, she had already become mute.]
[Aside from sobs she could do nothing.]
[Seeing her pitiful state, Ye Yu waved his hand and ordered that she be taken back to recuperate first.]
[The life force of gods was extraordinarily tenacious; after just one night and under the effect of a divine pill, about seventy to eighty percent of her injuries had healed.]
[Although she still could not speak, she could communicate via heart-voice transmission, which was quite convenient.]
[Ye Yu told the woman that he had a particular hobby: he liked helping others realize their dreams, and that she should speak boldly about whatever dream she had.]
[However, the woman’s first words startled Ye Yu.]
["I am Xiaocui, maid to the Lieyang Gate sect leader. I was imprisoned under the sea by a madman for a hundred years. Thank you, benefactor, for rescuing me."]
[Ye Yu could not help but widen his eyes.]
[This woman before him was Xiaocui? Then who was the one from Lieyang Gate?]
[Sensing Ye Yu’s surprised look, Xiaocui hurriedly began to tell her story.]
[She had originally been an immortal herb in the God Realm; upon recently taking human form, she encountered Zhu Xincheng.]
[From then on she had stayed by Zhu Xincheng’s side as his personal maid.]
[She had witnessed Zhu Xincheng’s rise and the founding of Lieyang Gate.]
[Everything had seemed to be heading well, but one night a hundred years ago became Xiaocui’s nightmare.]
[That evening, when Xiaocui was out purchasing supplies and returning to Lieyang Gate, a strange man suddenly blocked her way.]
[He said a very odd sentence.]
["You are a bit short; I might feel a little uncomfortable."]
[At the time Xiaocui did not know what he meant and took him for a lunatic.]
[She tried to avoid him.]
[But unexpectedly the man followed her.]
[Xiaocui instinctively wanted to fight back, but the man struck her unconscious on the spot.]
[When she awoke she found herself trapped in the Divine Sea.]
[Before her stood a person identical to herself.]
[Xiaocui was extremely shocked, and subconsciously recalled the man’s first sentence to her.]
