Chapter 971 Past Events
âThe awakening of The World spells The Foolâs returnâŠâ
Jenna had seen this sentence in the materials provided by the Major Arcana card holders. It was considered the most important revelation made by Mr. Fool before he fell into slumber, concealing the direction to awaken him.
The FoolâSequence 0 of the Seer pathwayâwas said to have authority over fate!
Jenna looked at Madam Justice without asking questions, waiting for her to continue.
Madam Justice pointed to the sofa area. âLetâs sit down and talk.â
After they each chose a sofa, Madam Justice began speaking in a gentle voice, âAfter our initial intelligence gathering in the dream city, we discovered a problem:
âThere was no dream manifestation corresponding to Gehrman Sparrow.
âAmong Mr. Foolâs avatars, Klein Morettiâs dream manifestation was merged with Zhou Mingrui. This can be seen from Zhou Mingruiâs brother being called Benson Zhou and his sister Zhou Sasa, corresponding to Klein Morettiâs real-life brother Benson and sister Melissa.
âOther manifestations, like the private detective and the wandering magician, could be found in the dream city, but they were scattered among multiple people. They either used half of their names or only exhibited corresponding characteristics.â
Hearing this, Jenna nodded slightly.
These had all been mentioned in the materials, and their team had also secretly observed the corresponding manifestations, planning to make deeper contact with them in turn.
Madam Justice smiled with a sigh.
âWeâve confirmed those dream manifestations, and there were no issues or anything we could exploit.
âBut Gehrman Sparrow, as one of Mr. Foolâs two most important manifestations and The World mentioned in that revelation, had no corresponding manifestation in the dream city.
âAt the time, this raised strong suspicions and made us a bit excited.
âItâs not a problem if there are issues; itâs a problem if everything is normal.
âAfter discussion, we decided to try to create the character of Gehrman Sparrow in the dream city. Only with Gehrman Sparrow could we talk about awakening The World.â
Jenna listened with both surprise and excitement.
This approach was something they hadnât thought of before.
Of course, this was mainly because they had just finished observing important characters and were still experimenting with the results of different levels of contact with different characters. They hadnât yet compiled the intelligence or sought ways to awaken Mr. Fool.
Lumian had made some associations from the phrase âThe awakening of The World spells The Foolâs return,â which was why he had Jenna apply for a job at Hall Film Company to observe the actor playing Gehrman Sparrow more closely.
What they hadnât realized was that filming âThe Great Pirate 3â not only included the idea of stimulating Zhou Mingrui and awakening his memories, but also aimed to create the dream manifestation of Gehrman Sparrow out of thin air!
Madam Justice continued, âOur first attempt was to use my Dreamweaver ability and Hall Groupâs resources to directly create Gehrman Sparrowâs dream manifestation and give him real identity proof and past experiences. The result was, well, I got kicked out of the dream.
âI got my gold coin from Madam Reinette, and later returned it to Her. She had already been kicked out three times before I entered the dream city.
âBeing kicked out of the dream didnât discourage me. I even felt excited, believing this might truly be a meaningful direction. Otherwise, the Celestial Worthy wouldnât have turned His gaze to this place far from Zhou Mingrui.
âWe started our second attempt, with Madam Magician using her identity as a, um, bestselling novelist to write âThe Great Pirate 3â.â
âWas âThe Great Pirate 3â also deliberately written by you guys?â Jenna asked thoughtfully.
Madam Justice smiled in a way that made Jennaâs eyes light up.
âHavenât you watched âThe Great Pirate 1â and âThe Great Pirate 2â? They tell stories about pirates, but the character Gehrman Sparrow doesnât appear. In other words, before Madam Magician personally wrote âThe Great Pirate 3â, the dream manifestation of Gehrman Sparrow didnât exist even in the story.
âThe completion and publication of âThe Great Pirate 3â also resulted in Madam Magician being kicked out of the dream.
âWe felt we were on the right track, so I used Hall Film Company to purchase the film and television rights for âThe Great Pirate 3â and began preparations for filming.â
Itâs great to have money⊠Jenna couldnât help but sigh.
For their small team, forget about filming a movie about Gehrman Sparrow, they couldnât even afford to buy the rights to âThe Great Pirate 3â without winning the lottery who knows how many times.
Madam Justice reminisced. âI personally served as the producer and personally selected the actor to play Gehrman Sparrow.
âThen, I discovered An Xiaotian. He was an actor and a star. It was such a coincidence, as if Mr. Fool had secretly set it up, waiting for us to trigger it.
âAn Xiaotianâs backstory in the dream was that he was an orphan, raised by his older sister. He dropped out after high school and entered the entertainment industry.
âHis sister fell seriously ill and is currently in a vegetative state. To maintain hope for his sisterâs awakening, he worked hard to become a big star and earned quite a bit of money.
âI extended an invitation to him, offering a salary he couldnât refuse.
âAt the time, I was actually a bit uneasy, wondering if having An Xiaotian play Gehrman Sparrow would cause any problems. You know, An Xiaotian corresponds to Antigonus in reality, who was The Half-Fool in the Fourth Epoch and hasnât perished yet. If we merged His spiritual imprint with the movie image of Gehrman Sparrow, it could potentially affect Mr. Foolâs self-awareness or benefit Antigonus and that Celestial Worthy.
âTo ensure there were no issues, we contacted Antigonus through the Church of Evernight Goddess. He told us we could try.â
âDoes Antigonus have close ties with the Church of Evernight Goddess? Can He be trusted?â Jenna asked instinctively.

Madam Justiceâs smile became somewhat complex.
âBeing captured and imprisoned is also a kind of connection, I supposeâŠ
âHowever, after the Goddess provided a revelation and promised Antigonus one thing, He began working for the Church of Evernight Goddess. His words are quite credible now.
âThatâs why I ultimately decided to invite An Xiaotian to play Gehrman Sparrow.
âOn the day of the shoot, An Xiaotian had a very serious car accident and also became a vegetable.â
Also⊠both he and his sister became vegetables⊠Jenna found it tragic.
âAt the same time, that also caused me to be kicked out of the dream for the second time,â Madam Justice said in a self-mocking tone. âAfterwards, I faced significant restrictions. By the time I entered the dream for the third time, Holly had already chosen the actor to play Gehrman Sparrow. The silver lining was that she decided to personally fund and establish a foundation to fully cover the medical expenses for An Xiaotian and his sister.â
Jenna vaguely felt that Madam Justice was praising her own dream manifestationâHollyâfor being a decent person, living up to her ideal image, but she didnât dare to say it too clearly.
Madam Justice skipped over this topic and said directly, âI couldnât find anyone more suitable to play Gehrman Sparrow, and the medicine provided by Mr. Moon couldnât wake up An Xiaotian. I had no choice but to let Jia Yu give it a try. Unfortunately, after Jia Yu finished filming, he couldnât merge with the manifestation of Gehrman Sparrow, and the movie didnât make Zhou Mingrui remember anything. It only created some character imitators of Gehrman Sparrow.
âPerhaps when An Xiaotian had the car accident, the goal that âThe Great Pirate 3â was meant to achieve was destined to fail.
âDuring the filming of âThe Great Pirate 3â, I actually noticed that people were gradually forgetting An Xiaotian, no longer remembering this person, only able to recall related events.
âI wasnât affected, but I also gave myself psychological suggestions not to forget An Xiaotian.
âWhen I was in the dream city, I indeed remembered, until I was kicked out for the third timeâŠâ
Feels like you were somewhat Fooled⊠Jenna thought for a few seconds and said, âThere might still be very useful secrets hidden in relation to An Xiaotian, which is why the Celestial Worthy would Fool everyone and make them forget about him.â
âThatâs our guess too.â Madam Justice nodded.
Jenna then said, âAn Xiaotian in his vegetative state seems to want to warn Lumian to be careful of someone. Could you please contact Antigonus again to see if He has dreamed anything in reality or knows something?â
âThatâs our duty,â Madam Justice looked around and said, âDonât rush back. Wait for the feedback from the Church of Evernight Goddess. It might come very soon, and you can take this opportunity to deepen your psychological recognition of reality, to avoid confusing reality and dreams in the end.â
âAlright,â Jenna politely nodded, stood up, and walked towards the garden at the back of the villa.
She wanted to take a walk there.
âŠ
3 am.
When Franca saw Jian Na, who had fallen asleep at some point, suddenly wake up, she understood that the real Jenna had returned.
Jenna lowered her voice and recounted in detail what Madam Justice had said to Franca. Finally, she said, âAntigonus said He can sense Mr. Foolâs dream, but He hasnât entered it and doesnât want to, so He doesnât know what the vegetative An Xiaotian wants to warn Lumian about.â
âIs it possible to ask Antigonus to come in once, using the vegetative An Xiaotian? That way, He might know what An Xiaotian wants to warn about,â Franca said thoughtfully.
Jenna shook her head. âAfter An Xiaotian became a vegetable, Antigonus canât come in even if He wants to.â
âDo we need to find a way to treat An Xiaotian?â Franca mused to herself, âIf we cure him and wake him up, thereâs no need for Antigonus to come inâŠ
âBut how to treat him? Medicine doesnât seem to workâŠâ
After a pause, Franca and Jenna simultaneously thought of a possibility: Great Mother!
And Lumian was now disguised as the Great Motherâs Child of God.
