The Mother of the Night Sky should be one of the strongest Divine Spirits Duncan has encountered so far.

At this moment, her projected avatar's strength is comparable to that of the God of Forging, Gwanu, whom he fought against before. Currently, Duncan lacks sufficient understanding of the Demon Gods in this world, and he is not clear about the upper limits of their strength. However, the impression he gets from the Mother of the Night Sky is that she is not much weaker than Odin, the Main God of the Norse Pantheon, at least at the level of Freya.

This female Demon God is quite patient, calmly gazing at the Juvenile Dragon, waiting for his response.

Finally, Duncan slowly said, "What do you want to know?"

The Mother of the Night Sky showed a hint of interest, and the enormous phantom of her projection gradually shrank. The Juvenile Dragon was also placed on the ground, and she transformed into a female elf-like figure, appearing as a casual elven scholar, and said lightly, "Where do you come from?"

Duncan responded, "Middle Earth."

The Mother of the Night Sky's fingers moved slightly, seemingly casting some spell, and then she asked doubtfully, "Middle Earth? A realm outside this starry sky?"

"Or an unrecorded temporal ruin?"

The Juvenile Dragon raised his head, meeting the gaze of the female Demon God, and slowly said, "I answer one of your questions, and you answer one of mine."

"That would be fair."

A playful chuckle echoed.

Even when the Mother of the Night Sky shrunk, she was still taller than the Juvenile Dragon. She looked down at him and said, "Fair? Alright."

"Ask away."

Duncan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is this place?"

The Mother of the Night Sky looked up at the endless starry sky and said slowly, "This is the Lost Horizon. The ruin of time loops."

"One of the worlds abandoned in countless cycles."

Noticing that Duncan seemed confused, the Mother of the Night Sky explained, "This starry sky originated from a divine dream; it has existed through countless loops, with some loops being abandoned annihilation worlds, forming the current Lost Horizon."

"The Creator Divine Spirits do not pay much attention to such Lands of the Forsaken; only we, the Demon Gods, occasionally take note of these abandoned ruins."

I don't quite understand.

But it seems I've grasped a tiny bit.

The world where the second human form is located has an extremely high ceiling because even Creator Divine Spirits exist, and the worlds they created have been in cycles of annihilation. Those incomplete worlds abandoned in the loops, similar to realms of an Annihilation Plane, now make up the Lost Horizon where the second human form is located.

Only the Demon Gods occasionally pay attention to the ruins; the Creator Divine Spirits don't care about this place.

Duncan thought of the Ouroboros Ring, as well as some concepts similar to the Ring of Time. Generally, worlds existing in cycles would be trapped in a river of time, constantly being born and destroyed, and until the cycle is broken, there will never be a higher future.

The Mother of the Night Sky seemed to have guessed his thoughts. She lightly raised her hand, and a mysterious symbol appeared—a dragon head and serpent tail. First, the dragon head devoured the serpent tail, then time and space changed, becoming the serpent head devouring the dragon tail, continuously cycling, with some ruins' remnants falling away.

Ultimately forming some incomplete worlds, they are outside the cycle but because of the falling debris growing larger, part of them became the Annihilation Plane, and part became the Lost Land.

These worlds exist outside the cycle, but when a greater cycle begins, they may also face termination.

The beings of the Lost Land know more; they even know about cycles and constantly collect the remnants of cycles, making their Land of the Forsaken a little more comfortable. But the greatest beneficiaries of the cycles are still the Demon Gods, as their Realm of Annihilation is part of the ruins.

Duncan appeared shaken, and after a long moment, he slowly said, "Your turn."

The Mother of the Night Sky seemed very interested in the Juvenile Dragon before her and asked softly, "Is the Otherworldly God you serve and summon a human?"

"It doesn't seem to be a god, but it is stronger than many Dedra Monarchs."

"Who is it?"

Duncan pondered seriously, organized his words, and said, "It is an Immortal, one of the kings of humans."

"Strictly speaking, it can only be considered a Demigod."

It's hard to lie to such an entity; she can discern, but Duncan can answer in another way.

Demigod?

The Mother of the Night Sky was slightly puzzled but soon understood, waiting patiently for Duncan's question, as the Juvenile Dragon obviously had more questions, and her patience was good.

Among the many Demon Gods, most can't distinguish between good and evil, and the Mother of the Night Sky is one of the few Demon Gods with an evident benevolent element, and also one of the few who consistently maintain a female form. It's just good fortune for the Juvenile Dragon to meet her since most Demon Gods are as dangerous as Blood Throat-Sosa, whom he had slain earlier.

The beings of the Lost Horizon might borrow the power of Demon Gods, but there are also some realms directly destroyed by them, dragging entire islands and continents into the Annihilation Plane.

Life, souls, continental shelves, and others, are all considered resources.

After all, under this starry sky, even the earth's veins are formed from the remains of Divine Spirits' corpses. In the beginning of creation, many Creator Divine Spirits died, and the creators fled the material world in fear, creating a hollow in the starry sky, which is the Light Realm, also where the sun was born.

Duncan contemplated for a moment and said, "Dedra, what exactly is the so-called Demon God?"

He had just slain a Dedra Monarch.

The feeling was that its power was not as great as the God of Forging, Gwanu, probably slightly stronger than the Guardian Fairies.

About the strength of one point five Guardian Fairies.

For such enemies, if the first human form were to unleash its full firepower, it would not be difficult to single-handedly take on three or four of them.

The Mother of the Night Sky said calmly, "Dedra are the primordial divine spirits representing chaos at the beginning of creation, and there are many of them."

"Including myself, I am one of them."

"Because we refused to lend a hand during creation, mortals and gods also call us Dedra Monarchs, Primordial Demon Gods."

This is somewhat difficult to understand.

Duncan could only analyze on his own, feeling they were somewhat like the three thousand demon gods at the dawn of the Eastern creation, likely referring to the primordial divine spirits who did not participate in creation myths.

Self-preservation.

Many divine spirits who participated in creation died, but many demon gods survived.

The Mother of the Night Sky said lightly, "Tell me about the divine spirits of that world."

"I am very interested in them."

"This ruin of reincarnation has also welcomed some divine spirits from other worlds, but they soon perished."

The runic markings changed.

In the long cycle of reincarnation, within the darkness of the starry sky, some shattered meteors also fell, but they mostly landed in the Lost Land.

Duncan's Dimension Space captured a trace of information.

In a fleeting moment, he unexpectedly saw runes of Ireland (Celtic runes) engraved in a book called the 'Infinite Wisdom Scripture'. On ice-covered ground, he even saw what seemed to be Odin's mount, a shadowy figure, a divine steed with eight legs, among others.

This discovery caused him to have a slight confusion about the concept of dimensions.

Duncan hesitated for a moment, but still briefly talked about the Norse Pantheon, about the myth of Odin, and the creator God. The Mother of the Night Sky was evidently very interested in God and Odin, listening with great attentiveness.

After a long while, the Mother of the Night Sky said lightly, "Slepner? It seems I have seen such a divine steed in the cycles of reincarnation."

This demon god fell into prolonged contemplation.

Who knows how much time had passed when the Mother of the Night Sky slowly said, "Little one."

"It won't be long before a continent of destruction falls from the sky. Are you interested in doing me a favor?"

Hmm?

Elemental perception.

Duncan slowly raised his head and said, "What kind of favor?"

The Mother of the Night Sky, with a calm expression, said, "Help me gather intelligence about that annihilated continent, about the information of the gods. I want to know if it is from the world of reincarnation or some realm I am unaware of."

"If you can complete this task, I wouldn't mind granting you a demon god's reward."

After her words ended.

The Mother of the Night Sky gently raised her hand, and a ring fell in front of the juvenile dragon. She said lightly, "This is a ring with transformation ability, it can temporarily transform you into other creatures."

"However, my clan is Dark Elf."

"It would be easier for you to transform into a Dark Elf."

Hiss?

The demon god served by Dark Elves?

Duncan began to doubt whether the Mother of the Night Sky in front of him was as kind and peaceful as she appeared, after all, he had seen Dark Elves, whose cruelty seemed ingrained in their very bones.

The Mother of the Night Sky did not mind Duncan's attitude. Her shadow turned into a stream of light and fled into the endless starry sky.

At some unknown time.

Duncan suddenly noticed an additional mark on the juvenile dragon.

——The Mother of the Night Sky's Gaze [Divine Grace]: The dark elves' longed-for, yet unattainable divine grace, is both an opportunity and a calamity. Even the cruelest and most deceitful dark elves would feel fear and unease under the gaze of the Mother of the Night Sky. The demon god's attention is full of unpredictability, and they act on whims.

(After activation, when heading to the altar of the Mother of the Night Sky, you can communicate with this powerful demon god's consciousness through the rite.)

(Other demon gods may sense this mark and be somewhat wary of you.)

(The Mother of the Night Sky detests necromancy, please use it cautiously.)

(The Mother of the Night Sky is a demon god who never deceives, described by her followers as a cruel but wise monarch.)

(This demon god is very interested in No. 1 Human Form. When No. 1 Human Form descends in the shape of an Immortal Heroic Spirit, speaking with her may yield unexpected benefits.)

The grand statue in front of him reappeared.

The juvenile dragon's consciousness seemed to wander between reality and other planes several times, and after a moment of hesitation, Duncan quickly commanded the juvenile dragon to soar into the air, heading towards its lair.

This world has big problems!

Not only reincarnation and annihilation, the fact that divine spirits can so easily interfere with reality is also a very frightening thing.

Even No. 1 Human Form, there are many beings here stronger than him, so the juvenile dragon needs to act cautiously. However, that ring is a bit interesting, as it mainly transforms into a Dark Elf.

——"Rose Ring [Demon God Artifact] (Unsealed): A ring forged by the Primordial Demon God, capable of transforming into other creatures and having the racial talent of transformed beings, considered as a true transformation. Activatable form: Dark Elf. Unactivated form: Other Elves, Humans, Beastmen, etc.

The Primordial Demon God does not have a fixed form, they can transform into most creatures."

Wait!

If I transform into a humanoid creature, can I use human combat skills?

After all, having hands and feet, wielding a sword to slash someone seems normal.

Right?
