In fact, when Tianyang wanted to hunt A'li, Qingluan didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart. She didn't believe that Tianyang could do it. She hoped to send Tianyang away.
However, she is the Goddess of Dreams.
Even though it's incomplete now.
When she was still a complete dream god, when her kindness and goodness overwhelmed her other self, she would always unconsciously bring beautiful dreams to living beings, allowing them to heal their daytime wounds in dreams.
And now, as a pure good, Qingluan finds it even more difficult to refuse Tianyang's request. She hopes that in the end, this creature from another world can leave some relatively good memories.
So she agreed to Tianyang and gave him the opportunity to actively hunt A'li, but if Tianyang was in danger, she would forcibly send this creature out of the dream world.
However.
To her surprise, Tianyang seemed to be not just joking.
The creature from another world first selected such a scene and asked himself to remove the blockade so that Ari could find this place, and then took advantage of Ari's distraction to attack.
Of course, such an attack did not have much effect on Ari, and what happened next also confirmed this.
But after A'li attacked Tianyang, Qingluan discovered that things were not going as she had imagined.
In Qingluan's vision, things started to become a little weird after A'li snapped her fingers.
Qingluan knew that as her half, A'li mastered the essence of "nightmare". Relying on this essence, A'li could distort dreams at will, turning beautiful dreams into nightmares and making the impossible possible.
Through the inseparable connection between the two parties, Qingluan knew that after A'li snapped her fingers, the wild fire in Tianyang's hand would turn against him and kill his master.
Of course, because the wildfire at this moment was created by Qingluan using her own essence "sweet dream", it can fight against A'li's "nightmare", will not be distorted, and will not attack Tianyang.
In fact, there was no change in the wildfire in Tianyang's hand, but A'li should have noticed it at this time.
But the little girl with a bun didn't notice it, and from her words and actions, it seemed that Huanghuo had betrayed Tianyang and hurt her master.
This was the first thing that surprised Qingluan. Then, Ah Li raised her hands and pressed down with her small hands. Through the connection between the two, Qingluan knew that she was activating the power of "nightmare", turning the weeds around Tianyang and the apricot tree behind into deadly things.
But in fact, nothing happened. In Qingluan's vision, A'li just made two inexplicable movements, and then her face was filled with panic, not understanding why she did not kill Tianyang.
Qingluan was very familiar with her expression; it was the expression of someone who was in a nightmare.
At this moment, A-li must be trapped in some kind of nightmare.
At this time, Tianyang, who had been motionless, moved. He flashed and came behind A'li. He slashed down with wild fire, splitting the small figure in half!
Qingluan frowned. She believed that Tianyang must know that such an attack would be dispensable to Ah Li and would not have much effect. On the contrary, it would wake her up from the nightmare.
But judging from Tianyang’s previous performance, Qingluan didn’t think that he would do anything useless. What exactly was he going to do
boom!
The wild fire broke through A'li's small body, slashed the ground, and created a violent explosion.
The 'Wild Fire' that Qing Luan had recreated was almost as powerful as the real one.
There was an exaggerated explosion, and the high temperature flames that instantly melted the metal splashed everywhere, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire.
Even though this was a dream, the wildfire was created by Qingli, so the explosive flames it released were enough to harm things in the dream world, including the monsters.
But for Ari, the effect was quite minor. Tianyang did this not because he wanted to rely on the "wild fire" to hurt Ari, but to use the action of "attacking" Ari to plunder the "essence" of the little girl.
The essence of 'war-plunder' is that if you want to gain the opponent's power, ability, or even essence, there is a prerequisite.
attack!
You must first attack the opponent and make contact, any level of contact will do.
Only with attack and contact can one obtain and plunder.
'Invasion and plunder' can be broken down into invasion and seizure. Invading first and then seizing is the way to use this 'essence'.
After two attacks, Tianyang felt that the essence of "nightmare" he had taken from Ari had increased a little.
If one point is taken away, Ahri will lose one point accordingly.
In other words, through the essence of "war-invasion", Tianyang can theoretically completely seize the essence of "nightmare" of Ari, and then Ari will lose this essence.
But this is not an easy thing to do.
After two attacks, Tianyang has realized this.
Although he could seize the opponent's essence, because the opponent was a god and his status was far above that of mortals, even if he used essence against essence, Tianyang could not seize the opponent's ability all at once like he did with the cicada monster.
Even through multiple plundering, the 'essence' obtained each time is limited, and the first time is the most, and the subsequent times are less than the previous one.
This should involve the height of one's own personality and the completeness of one's essence.
After all, I am just a mortal, and after all, the nature of "war" is incomplete.
The flames gradually died down and disappeared.
The trunk of the apricot tree not far away bulged, and a small figure emerged, and then Ah Li walked out of the tree. She still had her hair tied up in a bun, but the smile on her face was gone.
She looked at Tianyang with no expression on her face: "What did you do to me?"
At the same time as she was split in half by Tianyang, she woke up from her "nightmare" and suddenly realized what was happening to her.
But precisely because she realized it, she became more bewildered and puzzled.
She looked at Tianyang: "Can you copy my ability? No, copy my 'essence'?"
"This is impossible. Even Qingluan can't do it. How dare a damn reptile blaspheme against God!"
Tian Yang did not answer her question, nor did he even look at her. Instead, he stared into the darkness in the distance: "Actually, I have a question."
"Before in the shelter, you said that the 'Infinite Maze' was set up by Master Qingluan to imprison himself. Because you said Master Qingluan was crazy before, we didn't think there was anything wrong with it."
Ah Li said with a cold face: "What do you want to say?"
Tian Yang smiled slightly and did not respond directly. He continued with what he had just said: "But when we came here, we discovered the truth."
"The truth is, Lord Qingluan is not crazy, it's you who is crazy."
"Then why did Lord Qingluan use this maze to imprison himself?"
"Perhaps, she is not imprisoning herself, but she is helpless."
"Because, she was imprisoned?"
Ahri narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on her face: "Even if she is imprisoned, so what?"
"In this case, it's obvious who set up this maze, isn't it?"
Tian Yang said slowly: "The person who set up the maze is naturally the one who hopes to imprison Master Qing Luan, that is you."
"But you also said before that you were looking for Master Qingluan, and you longed to become one with Master Qingluan. So I think the word imprisonment is not accurate. To be precise, you want to trap Master Qingluan."
"Why do you want to do this? I guess it's because Lady Qingluan can block the natural induction between you, so you can't find her."
"If you let Lady Qingluan move freely in Xingdu, she might take Xingdu back from you, so you can only throw her into the 'Infinite Maze', trap her first, then try to find her, and finally fulfill your wish. You want to become complete and become a 'Dream God' dominated by your personality."
Ahri clapped her hands. "For a mortal, you are indeed remarkable. Yes, this is exactly my plan."
Tianyang smiled and said, "So, have you ever thought about why you want to become complete?"
Ah Li's face was startled, as if she had never thought about this question.
"You really haven't thought about..."
Tian Yang said calmly: "It's because of 'instinct'."
"Even if you were contaminated by Lady Qingluan, and your personality became crazy because of her, and then you were born as an individual with a certain essence. When you have your own personality, you have 'instinct'."
"Survival instinct!"
"Even if you are crazy, you don't want to be completely and utterly crazy!"
"Based on this, you want to merge with Lady Qingluan, want to obtain her 'essence', and want to become the dream god Ari."
Ahri murmured: "Instinct... the instinct of survival?"
She blinked and sneered, "So, you want to laugh at me for being afraid of death?"
"No, I just want to use this point to prove another guess."
Tianyang raised a finger and pointed down at his feet: "What is the true appearance of the Infinite Maze?"
"Why haven't you been able to find Master Qingluan in all these years, but you haven't gone completely crazy?"
Ah Li's hands tightened unconsciously: "What do you want to say?"
Tian Yang said softly: "Since Lord Qingluan can separate his crazy and twisted side to avoid being completely polluted, I wonder if you can do the same?"
"Did you also separate your own 'madness' and use it to build the 'Infinite Maze'? That's why this place is so absurd, so twisted, so terrifying..."
“And because you separated your own ‘madness,’ you were able to remain yourself over the years and continue to pursue your ‘dream.’”
Ah Li gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that I should have killed you first."
Tian Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that I guessed right. Then, I am curious to ask you a question. If you are caught up and engulfed by your own madness and terror... what will you do?"
Without waiting for A'li to answer, Tianyang snapped his fingers.
The grass immediately became quiet. Suddenly, Ah Li looked up at the apricot tree. In the shadow of the branches, there was a pale hand, a woman's arm, reaching down...
