Chapter 978 The Spiritual World in Narrowly Defined Nothingness
Although I don't know what that guy meant by calling her "Dragon Girl".

But having come this far, there was no turning back, so the three of them charged straight at the Spider God Atlak Nakya.

These ancient beings are distinct from all kinds of deities; they are neither ancient gods nor dream gods, nor are they quite the same as other gods.

Like Igor, the father of all serpents, they are sentient beings, and their way of survival is not solely dependent on a single order or belief. Moreover, they do not have infinite lifespans; they also age, but at a very, very slow rate.

At the same time, they also possess some characteristics of those in subordinate positions.

For example, emotions.

...

hum-

Just when we thought all the ancient dragon bloodlines had been completely harvested, an even more powerful Awakener suddenly appeared. Despite not having a single ancient dragon characteristic and being filled with various mixed power systems, his physical body was indeed formed from ancient dragon blood, and he was even a Shadow Sequence life form.

Atlak Nakya felt it was blasphemous.

An emotion called anger began to slowly and awkwardly form in His mind.

It's been so many years since we've encountered a situation like this.

It is always He who selects the prey from the world of the Heavenly Waterfall Spider Web, and He will never let any prey dare to attack Him.

...

"Well--"

Atlak Nakya's massive body moved a few steps in the air.

His thick, segmented limbs were spread out to the left and right.

Twelve pairs of obsidian-like, deep, and terrifying eyes emitted a strange, dark light.

...

"Don't look into its eyes!"

Mabel issued a warning.

But it's not that easy.

Because the "seeing" mentioned here is not limited to the visual level of the naked eye. Even if you close your eyes, if your spiritual vision comes into contact with one of Atlak Nakya's twelve pairs of eyes, you will be bewitched.

His body lay beneath the starry sky, and when Milo attacked Atlas Nakia at close range, he was directly beneath that Spider-Man face, with most of his vision completely obscured. What could he see if he didn't look at his eyes?
...

Atlak Nakya's goal was to drag Milo and others into the illusory world he created.

However, the situation changed at the last minute.

That alluring and captivating power did not completely dominate; rather, it merged with Milo's spiritual will.

On one side lies the world of spiderwebs, and on the other, the terrifying dream of Milo.

Although he didn't know the source of Atlak Nakya's fear, as a human, he knew the direction of Byrne and Mabel's fears behind him.

Atlak Nakya tried to pull the person away, but he pulled them back.

After several rounds of back and forth, this stalemate reached a strange equilibrium.

...

Almost all those in positions of power possess the ability to construct a spiritual world, and many of them control their followers based on the existence of this spiritual world.

For example, Imnar's fractal world.

For example, on that Earth, there is the concept of rebirth in the Pure Land as spoken of by the Buddha, and the concept of ultimate bliss as spoken of by the Heavenly Father.

But Milo doesn't like to fabricate something that doesn't exist in a narrow sense of nothingness; to him, that would just be a simple deception.

Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean they can't make it work.

……

Thus, when this spiritual conflict reached a balance, the two illusory worlds merged. Milo and his companions were no longer "lured" into it; rather, they entered willingly, or rather, half of this territory originally belonged to them.

Atlak Nakya, having lost control, also entered into a world of spiritual integration.

...

……

"This is where?"

"Who knows."

Milo and his companions moved from one icy world to another.

This place is somewhat similar to the original starting point of some ancient rivers in my memory: desolate, barren, with endless glaciers and gravel.

A primal sense of desolation pervades the space between heaven and earth, but it is not a deathly stillness, because as the glaciers melt, trickles of water will converge into streams, rivers, and great rivers in some places, and life will be nurtured in the distant downstream.

The intertwined spiritual world is filled with a primitive, desolate yet life-giving atmosphere.

...

"Perhaps this is the legendary true Northern Continent?"

Mabel voiced her suspicions.

In the world's perception, the North Continent, literally speaking, is the northernmost land of the Dreamland, a land of extreme cold.

However, the map did not actually mark which part was the true North Continent. Over time, the term became a general term for the far north, but it appeared more often in many ancient legends.

For example, the long-cherished wish passed down through generations of the Xiren people—to find the way home to the North Continent.

...

Milo had thought that coming here would be like the first time he activated his Dream Summoning skill. Back then, he had beaten up the Great Old One, Glagi, in the spiritual world. Here, he also planned to beat up Atlak Nakya. But all he could see was an endless expanse of glaciers and mountains, with no giant spider in sight.

But when I looked back, all I saw was emptiness.

"Is this the mental world I've never built?"

Milo, however, hadn't bothered to delve into that part.

He always regarded Dream Guide as a skill for manipulation and reading, and never had the idea of ​​guiding other external beings into his spiritual world.

Rather than being a guide, it's more like a resonance.

The reason it's called a scam is because this kind of spiritual world has no physical basis. It's more like transmitting and instilling what you've built into others in a more concrete way, thereby consolidating your control over their real-world behavior.

In a narrow sense, nothingness is nothing at all.

And this is where those in positions of power store their "rebirth," "paradise," and "pure land."

In fact, none of these things exist.

However, in some classic texts, people are able to describe it vividly.

From the perspective of those in power, isn't this just another form of incitement?

For example, in the current situation, Milo has dragged Mabel and Byrne into his spiritual world of coexistence with Atlak Nakya, but Milo's part is empty, so they can only see the part that belongs to Atlak Nakya.

Generally speaking, the master of the spiritual world will not enter this place.

Because it doesn't make sense.

A spiritual world created based on one's own understanding must be dull and tedious for the creator.

But Atlak Nakya also came in.

Moreover, this time, He did not appear in the form of a spider.
