Leo Ray sharpened his senses to clearly communicate with a frail Moon Shadow Deer Person begging for salvation from the Moon Shadow Array. She drew his group into the array's core barrier—a gloomy starry realm inside the magic painting—where a window showed the outside hall. The weakened Tier 6 deer person with broken antlers revealed that the array flawlessly shields perceptions, explaining her flickering silhouette and their oblivious entry into deer territory.

Chapter 2890: Chapter 1582: A Starkly Different Scene

“To be candid with all of you, the Moon Shadow Magic Array represents a secret that remains unknown to the outside world, exclusively preserved for the tribal chiefs and elders of our Moon Shadow Deer People. It is a form of Divine Domain Magic, passed down from the ancient Moon Shadow Deer People, and it serves as our ultimate safeguard in critical life-or-death circumstances!”

Within a secluded, darkened chamber, a young Deer Person’s pallid countenance flickered with a trace of reverence as they solemnly affirmed this to the assembled group.

“Could it truly be a manifestation of Divine Domain Magic?”

Upon hearing this declaration, Leo Ray inclined his head, his expression thoughtful.

The genesis of Divine Domain Magic requires no extensive explanation; it was the supreme form of sorcery personally devised by the Deities during the Silver Moon Era. Its sophistication and might far surpassed that of conventional magic.

Only the most exceptionally gifted, the so-called Chosen Sons of God, possessed the fortune to garner the Deities’ favor and were thus deemed worthy to delve into this coveted and supreme form of magic.

In bygone times, even when the Ten Thousand Clans stood at their zenith, Divine Domain Magic was regarded as the paramount treasure and an emblem of unparalleled prestige for the various great powers.

Now, however, following the enigmatic and obscure Era of Blankness, the majority of Divine Domain Magic has vanished entirely, much like the departed Deities. The scattered remnants that still exist are almost invariably incomplete fragments.

Even so, these fragments continue to be the guarded secrets and the most potent trump cards of numerous major factions.

Standing beside Leo Ray, both Lila and Hollis wore expressions of profound astonishment.

It was widely recognized that even as members of a second-tier power, they had not acquired mastery over any Divine Domain Magic, not even partial knowledge. For individuals like Fanny and Broy, affiliated with third-class forces, such mastery was entirely out of the question.

Nevertheless, it was an undeniable truth that Divine Domain Magic represented the ultimate treasure sought after by all supreme powers!

Observing the curious glances directed his way, the slender young Deer Person did not exhibit the anticipated pride typically associated with a group possessing Divine Domain Magic. Instead, a deep melancholy overshadowed his features as he disclosed, “Although the ancestral Moon Shadow Magic Array is not wholly complete, its designation as a secret spell specifically crafted for us Moon Shadow Deer People ensures its fundamental functionalities remain unimpaired.”

Leo Ray’s gaze lingered on the other’s somber demeanor, a thoughtful nod punctuating his contemplation.

The predicament was glaringly apparent: it was precisely due to the obfuscation imposed by this Moon Shadow Magic Array that the other party had been prevented from establishing normal communication. This led to a cascade of questions: Why would the Moon Shadow Magic Array impede this particular young Deer Person? What was the intended meaning behind his persistent pleas for assistance for the Moon Shadow Deer People?

Based on the observations made thus far, the Deer People appeared to be living in ostentatious luxury, showing no indication whatsoever of requiring external aid.

Furthermore, why was this young Deer Person in such a state? His gaunt, emaciated appearance and threadbare attire stood in stark contrast to the other Deer People.

Puzzled, Leo Ray recollected the preceding events in the banquet hall, the ravenous consumption of food by the Deer Nobles, and the peculiar comportment and pronouncements of the Deer Tribal Chief and elders during the feast—elements that were undeniably the most striking and perplexing.

“Is it conceivable that this Moon Shadow Magic Array has ensnared the minds of the Deer People, driving them to a state of madness and irrationality? But if this Divine Domain Magic is intended as a last resort, how could it possibly have turned against its own kin? Moreover, why would such a final measure be invoked so readily?”

Mulling these thoughts internally, Leo Ray articulated his perplexity.

His question drew the attention of the other powerful individuals present, who turned towards the young Deer Person with questioning looks, their hearts evidently mirroring the same doubts.

“Your Majesty of the Humans has ascertained the truth. It is indeed the Moon Shadow Magic Array that has confounded all the Deer People, not only within this capital but also across the other territories inhabited by our Moon Shadow Deer People.”

The slender young Deer Person’s eyes darkened further as he emitted a heavy sigh and confessed, “As for the reason behind the array’s activation, it was personally overseen by the Tribal Chief.”

“Are you suggesting that the root of this widespread issue lies with your Tribal Chief? That corpulent fellow from earlier?”

Moli’s luminous eyes widened in disbelief, her face a mask of confusion as she inquired, “But what compelled him to act in such a manner? And speaking of which, what precisely is the function of this Moon Shadow Magic Array?”

“Despite being termed a Magic Array, the Moon Shadow Magic Array possesses a complexity far exceeding that of ordinary arrays. Its primary purpose is to awaken the latent capabilities intrinsic to the bloodline of our Moon Shadow Deer People, thereby projecting an illusory reality designed to disorient adversaries.”

The slender Deer Person offered a nod to Moli. "It activates the unique bloodline abilities of every Deer Person. Each Moon Shadow Deer Person acts as a focal point within the Magic Array. Their interconnected bloodlines foster a mental resonance, which is crucial for maintaining the greatest possible cohesion and stability of the phantasmal reality. This ensures the array can encompass the entire domain of the Moon Shadow Deer People."

"Incredible! So, it's a vast, communal magic spell involving every single Moon Shadow Deer Person? Your Divine Domain Magic truly is fascinating."

Moli's eyes widened in astonishment. "But what exactly do you mean by projecting a phantasmal reality? Is it some sort of illusion? I can't seem to detect any trace of illusion here."

Following Moli's question, a flicker of bewilderment also crossed Leo Ray's face.

From the moment he had arrived, he had tasked his enhanced Little Illusion with diligently searching for any indications of illusion or illusory realms, yet nothing had been detected.
