Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

”All Gu Masters and mortals are to enter the blessed land immediately.”

There were nearly seven million people in total.

Just then, Lin Yan received news. The couple in Han Family Village whom he had secretly been observing had successfully given birth to a boy.

His name was Han Li. With that final confirmation, the last trace of hesitation in Lin Yan’s heart disappeared.

A towering vermilion gate slowly opened at the center of Sandwell Oasis, and an endless stream of people poured inside.

Over the past two years, the Huang Family Gu Masters had already constructed dozens of cities within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. Among them, Li Fire Plains alone could accommodate five million people, while the northern Flame Desert, after years of cultivation and the creation of countless scattered oases, could barely hold another two million.

With the arrival of the oasis population, the total population of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land reached ten million. Together with its abundant resources, Desolate Beasts, and Desolate Plants, the blessed land had become noticeably crowded, and many new problems were bound to arise.

For the time being, however, Lin Yan had no time to deal with them. Once he obtained a Wisdom Path inheritance or explored a Wisdom Path Dream Realm, he could carefully plan the blessed land’s future development.

In just a few dozen days, Sandwell Oasis became completely deserted. Every person and every valuable resource had been relocated.

The next moment, Lin Yan transformed into an almost imperceptible streak of rainbow light. Blending into the brilliant daylight, he disappeared into the distant horizon.

Over the past two years, Flame Escape had undergone further improvements. Its greatest flaw, the enormous disturbance caused whenever it was activated, had been eliminated, and the killer move now incorporated three Immortal Gu.

His first destination was the Mo Family’s territory, where Plump Lady resided.

There, he would quietly take the Thousand Wishes Tree.

Lin Yan had waited for this opportunity for far too long. In his previous life, he had forced himself to give it up for the sake of the greater plan. That regret had remained buried deep in his heart, as though he had watched something that rightfully belonged to him slip into someone else’s hands.

This time, things would be different. He would take the Thousand Wishes Tree without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Yan raced across the land like the wind. Even while traveling, his mind remained divided among countless tasks. He coordinated the Huang Family Gu Masters and mortals within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land while simultaneously ordering the Hairy Men to produce vast quantities of Gu materials and immortal materials in preparation for refining Immortal Gu.

In what seemed like the blink of an eye, he arrived at the location of the Thousand Wishes Tree. The illusion that shrouded the region, stretching across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, remained exactly as he remembered. Even the reconnaissance Gu worms he had secretly placed around its outer perimeter years ago remained undisturbed.

Lin Yan landed atop a golden mountain that towered thousands of feet into the sky. Before him stood the ancient Thousand Wishes Tree. Though barely taller than a person, it exuded an indescribable sense of age. Behind it rose a colossal light-and-shadow manifestation, its flourishing canopy covered in countless pink blossoms that swayed gently despite the absence of wind.

He stepped forward and gently rested his palm against the rough bark.

”Old friend,” he murmured, a faint smile appearing on his face. ”This time, I came back for you.”

The Thousand Wishes Tree remained silent, yet the enormous phantom behind it seemed to ripple ever so slightly, as if responding to his touch.

Lin Yan withdrew his hand and activated the Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint. The giant flaming hand descended from the sky, enveloping the entire golden mountain. Without damaging a single root, it carefully lifted the Thousand Wishes Tree from the earth before transplanting it into the heart of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, where millions of lives would one day gather beneath its branches.

Within the central city of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, an eight-foot-tall tree suddenly appeared out of thin air. Its trunk was short, while its thin, twisted branches gave it an ordinary, almost unremarkable appearance.

The Huang Family Gu Masters had long been prepared. They immediately arranged Self Dream Gu around the tree, concealing it layer by layer.

Within a concealed space, the entire city became shrouded in pure white mist, resembling an immortal realm. Above the city, the colossal light-and-shadow manifestation of the Thousand Wishes Tree absorbed vast amounts of human will, its towering canopy continuing to expand.

Seeing this, Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction. The Thousand Wishes Tree was a Rank Seven Human Path ancient desolate plant. Had it been any other ancient desolate plant, he would never have dared transplant it into his blessed land.

The Thunder Pool and Sunflame Valley, both Rank Seven resource points, already consumed a tremendous amount of earth qi. Adding another Rank Seven ancient desolate plant would have placed an even greater burden on the blessed land. Once it took root, relocating it in the future would become extremely difficult.

The Thousand Wishes Tree, however, was different. It did not consume earth qi. Instead, it drew its nourishment from the wishes and aspirations of living beings. As long as enough people lived within the blessed land, it would continue to grow stronger.

Lin Yan looked at the countless mortals living throughout Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, and a smile spread across his face.

”Hahaha... In my previous life, it took hundreds of years for the Thousand Wishes Tree to produce a batch of mature fruits. Now, with tens of millions of people nourishing it, it should bear fruit once every ten years inside the blessed land. That means an Immortal Gu every ten years!”
