Chapter Thirty-Four Dreams
The dream world has obvious connections with the real world.
After coming and asking too much, I realized that there were many mistakes in my initial thoughts. For example, in my original cognition, one person corresponds to a dream. But according to the explanation of Xiaoxiong and Qianmeng Demon Lord, Zhang Chengcai knew that a person could correspond to a lot of dreams. Yes, those close to each other, more than a dozen dreams may be dreams made by the same person. One person can have so many dreams at the same time. Therefore, the number of dreams is far more than the number of people.
But some things can be guessed at once. That is the question of distance. The dream world and the material world have a certain time and space similarity. In other words, when Zhang Cheng entered the dream world, the closest thing to him was the group of people around him, that is, the hundreds of residents in the village where his fiefdom was located.
So Zhang Cheng's second time entering the dream world, he naturally wanted to find Dr. Kunwu. At present, there is no danger in this world. The most dangerous thing is probably that Dr. Kunwu knew his identity as a time traveler. Zhang Cheng could not determine what attitude Dr. Kunwu would take at that time. Dr. Kunwu might kill him, or he might accept it silently, and the possibility was half to half.
Dreams do not have a stable concept of southeast, northwest, and only front, back, left and right. Although the bear can move freely in the dream world, it is not very good at finding people. On the contrary, the Qianmeng Demon Lord became familiar with this. After Zhang Cheng explained the identity of Doctor Kunwu, especially the deity of Doctor Bai Kunwu is the descendant of the Fire God Zhurong, the Qianmeng Demon Lord immediately understood.
"I know Zhurong's godly descendants!" After saying this, Qianmeng Demon Lord immediately flew towards one direction of the dream.
Dreams do not have southeast, northwest, but only front, back, left and right. Without the biological guide here, outsiders will easily lose their way here.
"Look!" Qianmeng Demon Lord suddenly stopped flying. "There is something in front."
In the field of vision, you can see a strange figure wandering in glowing dreams. This thing looks very small, with a hunched body and erect feet, like a little monkey or something like that. The Demon Lord of Thousand Dreams made a sharp whistling sound and rushed towards the thing.
The strange creature obviously couldn't figure out the situation. Zhang Cheng saw it staying in place and was caught by Qianmeng Demon Lord, and then kneaded it into a ball and ate it. No blood was leaking during the eating process, as if it was not a creature, but a dough.
"What's this?"
"Ah, a human spiritual body, the kind that is not protected by magic." The little bear replied.
Zhang Cheng looked at the dream land under his feet. The dream land was the dark yellow ground, like yellow mud. This was the intersection of reality and dreams. According to the bear, if Zhang Cheng chose to walk on this land, no one could tell when he would step on the empty ground and fall back to the material world.
"Dreams are a spiritual world. Material cannot enter, but spirit can enter. In some special circumstances, human spirit can enter this world without magic protection. If this person cannot return in time, then he will become the best food for dream creatures. Of course, this place is the outermost layer of the spiritual realm after all, and there is no danger. Even if it is eaten, it will be a trivial matter. After a few days of dizziness, mental depression will be restored." Xiaoxiong explained.
When the Qianmeng Demon Lord came back, he continued to lead the way for Zhang Cheng happily.
In front of me is a large luminous dream ball.
"It's here, Zhang Cheng," said Qianmeng Demon Lord. "The Zhurong Godborn you mentioned is here."
As Zhang Cheng estimated, the dream of the strong is indeed different from that of ordinary people.
Without the guidance of Xiaoxiong or Qianmeng Demon Lord, Zhang Cheng easily found Doctor Kunwu's dream.
It was an indescribable area. The dark yellow ground turned into a magma-like red red, with powerful energy surging in it, making the bear unwilling to get too close, but just observe from a distance. In the middle of this red red, there were more than a dozen dreams. They were dotted on this red land like a jewel of flames. This environment is obviously aggressive, and even existences like Qianmeng Demon Lord or Little Bear would not want to approach Doctor Kunwu's dream.
"This is Doctor Kunwu's dream..." Zhang Cheng muttered to himself softly. It was indeed amazing. The dream is too close to the material world, so it will inevitably be affected by the real world.
"He is a descendant of the God of Fire and is protected by divine power. If he is forced to approach, he will be harmed by divine power." Qianmeng Demon Lord explained. This kind of scene is not common, which is why Qianmeng Demon Lord remembers where Doctor Kunwu is.
"Will you be hurt? Then I want you to send him a message?"
"I can't act secretly, but I must get the permission of the dream master as soon as possible to let him understand that he is just a messenger." The Qianmeng Demon Lord said the truth. "In this way, he will let go of his defense and I will be able to enter and exit safely."
So that's it. Zhang Cheng began to observe other people in this area. The material world here should be Kunwu City. In addition to Doctor Kunwu, there are also a lot of vassals and retainers under him. Many of these people are high-level spellcasters and warriors. I wonder if their dreams will be different.
In fact, it proved that Zhang Cheng's guess was correct. Not only the gods like Doctor Kunwu, but also other strong people. The strong man in the melee, namely Xin, the vassal of Doctor Kunwu, and Zhang Cheng's colleague, was the one who taught Zhang Cheng's Death Soldier's Way. His dream was like a steel cover, showing a metallic luster. According to Xiaoxiong's introduction, this is the embodiment of his own tenacious mental vitality and spiritual power. This dream is impossible to invade the Demon Lord of Thousand Dreams, and of course, a dream traveler like Zhang Cheng cannot see what dream he is having.
There is also Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang should be a mage. Zhang Cheng doesn’t know Mr. Huang’s level, but he must be an elite spellcaster. His dreams look colorful and cannot see clearly. According to Xiao Xiong, this shows that the owner of the dream has long been exposed to the magic net, which has caused a lot of magic power to be contained in his mental power. Therefore, it becomes impossible to observe.
Those who can observe the specific content of the dream by the Dream Walker are weak chickens, and the strong all have the right to privacy. Although it feels unfair, it feels very reasonable after thinking about it carefully. After all, this magic that makes people project into the dream world is only a level 5 spell. This level of spell can only be considered medium. If you can peek at the secrets of those high-level strong people with a medium spell, then this spell is too exaggerated. Even if this is true, then those strong people will definitely develop corresponding protection.
In short, Zhang Cheng now understands that the things he can do in dreams are actually quite limited. It looks magical, but the most important value of the dream world is that he can easily observe the changes in the depths of the spiritual realm here.
It’s like standing on the beach, you can observe the wind and waves on the ocean far away.
These storms are completely unaware of in the material world. Just like the aftermath of the divine war Zhang Cheng encountered before. This kind of thing will not cause any disturbance in the material world. It is impossible for an ordinary person to know that there was a small twists and turns in the divine war, and a small part of the divine kingdom of a certain god was blown up. But Zhang Cheng was in the dream world, so he observed this scene intuitively.
They have begun to leave Kunwu City in their dreams and return to their starting point.
"Are the gods in the deepest part of the spiritual realm?" Zhang Cheng asked Xiaoxiong. He remembered the world layering mentioned in the Book of Master Lu, and the deepest layer is called the "Divine Realm". As the name suggests, it is obvious that that place is the place where the gods are.
"Yes." The bear replied. "The real battle of the God War was there."
"That place...is it similar to here, is it projected into it?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously.
"No, when you get there, the spirit and matter are reunited. If you go there, you will pass the real body, not the projection. Especially within the scope of the Kingdom of God, it can be understood as a real world that is far more extraordinary than the material world." Xiaoxiong used a difficult adjective. However, Zhang Cheng still understood what Xiaoxiong wanted to express.
It’s almost like this in the dream world. If you have time... Zhang Cheng suddenly thought of something. What is the dream of his subordinates?
Although it took time to find his subordinates' dreams, it was not difficult. They just looked at them one by one. Zhang Cheng saw Hu Chen's dream. Hu Chen's dream was also colorful and was stained with the power of the magic net. However, compared to Huang Gong, his dreams could at least be seen clearly. This also shows from the indirection that Huang Gong's caster level is higher than Hu Chen.
Zhang Cheng observed for a long time and finally barely identified a dream of Hu Chen. In this dream, Hu Chen was fighting an unknown enemy. It was a very difficult enemy. His upper body and even his head were very similar to humans, strong and also held weapons. However, his lower body was covered in smoke. After the fierce battle, Hu Chen finally won the victory and used his Miao knife to cut the difficult enemy into two pieces. He stood on the enemy's corpse, and although he was covered in wounds, he still shouted with joy of victory.
"What kind of creature is this?" Zhang Cheng asked the little bear beside him. Qianmeng Demon Lord was not experienced enough and had never seen such creatures.
"Ah, this is the Yan Emperor's race." Xiao Xiong replied casually. "It is said that he has always been incompatible with Hu Fang. However, the Yan Emperor's race is very small, and they have not established a country like Hu Fang. It is rare now."
The Yan Emperor race... is a very unfamiliar name. It seems that I didn't know this kind of thing in the Quanrong game. Zhang Cheng shook his head and turned to looking at other people's dreams.
The little girl's dream is much simpler: a lot of numbers, programs and text symbols are mixed together. Obviously, she is still doing some calculations in her dream. Anyway, Zhang Cheng can't understand what she is calculating.
Jia's dream is also very simple: he dreamed that he had obtained the title of Zhang Cheng and became a scholar. Now, he has become the owner of this village. As the owner of the territory and as a new noble, he used the name of the territory as his clan. This place has no serious name, and is usually called "swamp" or "swamp" or "big zodiac". Therefore, his orthodox name is "Zejia". From then on, an insignificant but brand new branch was established within the Zhuxia noble system, which was to glorify the family and win the wife and son.
Many slaves and villagers each have their own dreams. Some want to buy cattle and horses, some want to accumulate more food, some want to have a big meal, some want to make money, some want to change careers and do business... etc. Maybe it is what people say that there is something to think about day and night, but in short, the dreams of different people vary greatly. Some dreams can be seen as the dreamer's hidden ambitions and desires, but other dreams are inexplicably and completely illogical.
After all, a person can have more than a dozen dreams at the same time, and the chaos can be imagined.
When the magic time was about to end, Zhang Cheng saw a more special dream on the edge.
Other dreams, except for the tiger minister, are all dreams of human beings. This dream is a dream that cannibalizes people.
In this dream, the owner of the dream was feasting and trampling a human being crying and struggling under his feet. Not only that, he also cut off the human limbs with the sharp blade in his hand, and enjoyed the other person's cry while eating meat.
In another dream of the same master, Zhang Cheng saw a chariot being destroyed, the wheels were broken, and the war horses fell down. The chariot and the war horses were crowded into a group, while the dream owner cheered on the wreckage of the chariot to celebrate his victory.
Ma Dan, is it actually Quan Rong’s dream?
If it was another place, Zhang Cheng might suspect that this was the dream of Quanrong slaves. But he knew his own territory that there were no slaves in this place. In other words, the only person who owned slaves in this village was Zhang Cheng himself, who had no Quanrong slaves at all.
Sure enough, is there still Quanrong coveting this place?
Last time, Zhang Cheng killed about a hundred werewolves, and now it seems that there are still some remnants. However, this is understandable. After all, compared to the Quanrong tribe defeated by Doctor Kunwu, the number of 100 is indeed too small. Doctor Kunwu defeated about thousands of Quanrongs, and even if only one-tenth of them escaped, there were hundreds of remaining defeated soldiers.
But the problem is that the world is so big. My village is not a magnet, and the defeated soldiers of the Quanrong are not iron filings. Why do they gather here? Isn’t it good to run elsewhere? You can say that the first batch was accidental, but the second batch actually has it, which makes people doubt it.
I couldn't think of any special reason for a moment, and the only explanation was - Yan'e's will.
Zhang Cheng has played priests in the game, so he knows that priests have some special "oracle missions". These tasks are issued directly by the gods and should be completed as soon as possible. There is no reward for completing them well, but if you fail to complete them well or if you pass the mission period, you will directly drop the priest level. The priest level that you have been able to increase after fighting monsters and enemies to earn experience points was cut off by the gods unreasonably. Oh my God, is there any justice and axiom? Players have to choose to read the disk miserably (of course, even if you don’t have money or items rewards, there are experience points to get. It’s a little bit of comfort, but the reality is not the case).
If the game of reality is compared, it means that Hoe can force his pastor to come here, and it is not allowed to be rejected.
"Is this related to Wen'e?" Zhang Cheng looked at Xiaoxiong. After all, the Taiyin Star Lord could not hide everything... Wen'e already knew about me and Xiaoxiong. However, judging from his pediatric behavior, even if he knew, he only knew part of it.
"It's very likely." The bear replied.
