Standing on the ruins of the fragmented founding star, what you can see when you look around is the true face of the dark realm.
A cosmic space surrounded by chaos and darkness—of course the normal cosmic space is also dark, but here, darkness is no longer a state, but an entity that can almost be touched and felt.
After the founding star was torn apart, the only remaining celestial body fragments floated in the center of this space. Its remaining powerful energy still maintains the structure of this wreckage group today after 10,000 years, so those broken continents did not Instead of escaping into the deadly void, the polluted atmosphere is bound around the wreckage by some kind of energy field, making these already bleak ruins shrouded in a more bleak mist—like the corpses Shroud in general.
But these things are not the only ones in the Dark Realm.
After seeing the same torn planet in the distance, Hao Ren began to scan the entire sky to find more wreckage and ruins, and then he saw some hazy shadows in the darkness and chaos. Those shadows were shrouded in an abnormal black mist, making it difficult to discern the real distance. Some of them looked like torn celestial bodies, and some seemed like huge palaces or battleships, and Hao Ren also noticed that not all of them had a sense of reality: Some shadows showed obvious signs of translucency, an anomaly that suggested that more than half of those things that were dragged into this dark realm with the founding star had probably suffered a terrible fate.
Reminiscent of the Suluen Gate that was once dragged into the dark realm and then miraculously returned to the main material world, Hao Ren expressed his opinion: "This space should be much wider than we imagined. But the range that can be observed is very small, and many things are probably shrouded in that kind of black mist, and it seems that it is not an easy task to maintain the material form in the dark realm."
"But there are also lucky ones who can return to the main material world and reshape their bodies." Vivienne looked up at the sky and said lightly, "For example, the gate of Suluen, right?"
"It seems that the red moon you summoned in that world of Laherien can't shine on this place," Hao Ren glanced at Vivienne, "No wonder Nolan failed to broadcast the beacon... the most insurmountable The obstacles are nothing more than reality and dreams, and if this dream is created by the gods, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
At this moment, Nolan sent Hao Ren the long-awaited report: "Boss, a stable release point of divine power has been detected, and it is near you."
"It seems that we have finally found the sleeping god," Hao Ren smiled slightly, looking at his friends, "I hope that the goddess is not angry—after all, we kicked her out of the dream. "
Lily bared her teeth at Hao Ren: "It's you two who woke me up! It has nothing to do with me."
As expected, after falling into the dream and getting out of the dream, the "falling point" of everyone is near the place where the goddess of creation sleeps. This distance is so close that the goddess is actually located in the group On this piece of floating land under the feet.
Under the guidance of Nolan, Hao Ren and his party climbed over a small hill and climbed a scorched mountain. Finally, they arrived at a place that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
A circle of rocks raised like a crater formed an open space. In the center of the open space, there was a touch of green. It was a lawn that was only a few meters long and wide. On this dead planet of gods, there is still this last bit of life lingering, which made Hao Ren dumbfounded.
In the middle of the lawn, there stood a rock that was less than half a person's height. A woman in a white dress leaned quietly on the rock, and fell asleep peacefully in this posture.
The woman in the white skirt has a very similar appearance to Liya, even her height and body are almost the same. The difference is that she has long silver-white hair that can be spread on the grass, and even in a deep sleep, her There is also a faint sense of indescribable sacredness in the face.
Of course, this is of no use to Hao Ren—ever since he knew that Raven 12345 would install holy and solemn emoji packs on himself in order to cope with the inspection by his superiors, any supernatural appearance could no longer sway him...
A lawn several meters square, a cold stone, a shattered planet of death, and boundless darkness and chaos, these are the things that once sealed the lord of madness, created the idyllic era of the dream plane, and made the entire universe flourish. The place where the thriving goddess of creation finally slept.
Hao Ren had imagined the circumstances under which he would meet this god countless times, but now he realized that all his previous assumptions were meaningless.
Vivian touched his arm lightly, and raised her finger to point upwards: "Is that... the temple you saw in the illusion?"
Hao Ren looked in the direction of Vivian's finger, and saw a piece of scattered building wreckage floating in the sky. Those wreckages could still vaguely resemble the splendor of the past, and between those pillars and reliefs, he It seems that some familiar lines can still be recognized.
"Yes, those temples used to float on the sea of origin, but now the sea of origin has disappeared, and the place we are standing on is actually the seabed of the past," Hao Ren nodded, leading everyone slowly towards the goddess of creation while lowering his voice. Said in a voice, "Divine power restrained the remains of this planet, allowing them to roughly maintain the structure of the past after the explosion, so the remnants of the temple are floating here, just like floating on the surface of the Sea of Origin in the past. "
They stood at the edge of the lawn, and Lily looked at the Goddess of Creation who was still asleep in a hesitant state: "Landlord... Isn't she supposed to be awake? Why do I think she is still asleep?"
Hao Ren didn't say anything, just waved his hands to signal others to stay where they were, and he came to the sleeping goddess, bent down, and was level with the other's face: "It is true that being immersed in a dream can be comforting, but I Knowing that you definitely didn't choose that dream to escape reality—it's over, and whether it was an accident or not, the end of the dream is a fact, and it doesn't make sense to force it to continue."
The goddess who seemed to be in a deep sleep suddenly opened her eyes after hearing these words, as if she had never slept and was always alert. A pair of bright red eyes that were as clear as rubies watched quietly. Hao Ren: "Dreams have their end—Of course I know this, but I never thought it would end in this way. I'm curious, how did you discover the truth? That dream... from some kind of In a sense, it is almost a real world, and I can't figure out what loopholes it has that can be seen at a glance, especially when you yourself are deeply in a dream."
Lily not far away: "Wow! Wake up?! It turns out that the goddess was just pretending to be asleep!!"
Nangong Sanba hurriedly rolled this reckless guy aside...
Hao Ren ignored the voice behind him, and he wasn't surprised by the sudden awakening of the goddess. He was just curious that the other party's first question was not about the origin of his group: "I thought you would know our identities. more interested."
"Because it's not important," the silver-haired, blood-eyed goddess said quietly, "Although I'm already very weak, I can still perceive something from you... so at least I can be sure that you are not 'it' minions , Then, I am even more curious about how you guys saw through that dream."
Hao Ren stood up straight and sighed: "You're right, that dream is indeed close to reality—and to the creatures in the dream, it's okay to say that it's a real world, but a dream is a dream, at least That dream you shaped... it's still there."
"Since entering the world called 'Lahreen', I have never had a dream. I asked my friends, and they are the same. This is the first point that caused me to doubt—now thinking about it , this should be because we can't dream again in another person's dream.
"The next clue is the weird ecosystem of Lahrien, where all the species of the dream plane live, and they come from your memory, right? But this is enough to make me suspicious. Of course, about the ecosystem The reason for the abnormality is not very important, because I know that the Kingdom of God used to have a species preservation bank. On this basis, the abnormality of the ecosystem can be explained, but the historical anomaly is difficult to justify itself...
"Those relics, all kinds of relics, including those of the godslayer, if I'm not mistaken, they also originated from your memory, but they were added to the dream without your awareness, right? So Scholars in Laherien will call those ruins the 'Anno Ruins Group' and consider them the greatest unsolved mystery. Even if those scholars spend their entire lives, they cannot explain the ins and outs of those Anno ruins , because in your dream, there is no corresponding explanation for those things.
"In the big tunnel, those fragments do not conform to the scale, and the fragments floating in the endless space... They remind me of the subconscious layer. Both the expression form and the operation law are very similar, but the abstract subconscious layer has been transformed into a concrete one. After the different space, it will be difficult for people to see through it at the first time, but for me... I have been dealing with similar abstract things for almost two years, and I am too sensitive to them. Those are the deepest part of the dream, your memory The most trivial and disorderly corners of the world, they constitute the cornerstone of the dream world of Lahrien to a certain extent, but on the other hand, those crazy and disordered information that directly reach the truth of the world are of great importance to the residents of Lahrien. Words are the most dangerous, because for a dream, facing the truth means the end of the dream, so the Great Tunnel has become the most dangerous place in Lahrien's world view, and it is even so dangerous that scholars all over the world are concerned about it. To the point where it had to be misinterpreted, and those misinterpretations weren't corrected until an outside observer—that is, me—saw the memory fragments inside the Great Tunnel.
"But none of these things are conclusive, they can only make me guess like 'the world of Lahrien is either an illusion or a dream', and it is this little guy who really makes me sure that it is a dream …”
Hao Ren said, and waved to Vivian.
Weiwei understood with peace of mind, and released the little weak chicken.
Accompanied by a burst of black and red blood mist, the little weak chicken condensed into a figure in mid-air, and flew around Hao Ren staggeringly, and then she saw the goddess of creation in front of her, and instinctively judged, She thinks this strange guy needs a "biu".
So she "biu".
The Goddess of Creation dismissed the powerless energy arrow casually, and looked at the little weak chicken facing her with great interest, with a curious tone in her voice: "The thing I'm most curious about is actually her... what is she... ? Why did she let you confirm that Laherien is a dream?"
"It may take a long time to explain her origin, but I can answer your second question," Hao Ren smiled slightly, "Although this little guy is very weak, he has a characteristic that no one else has. The stage is like this: she is a chaotic creature, a chaotic creature at the conceptual level, so she will not enter any sane dreams at all, in short, it is incompatible, and her mushy mental world is completely incapable of being manipulated by a human being. Influenced by dreams full of order like Laherien's, so... "
Hao Ren looked at the little weak chicken that had fallen to the ground and began to pull weeds vigorously, with a dumbfounded expression on his face: "She never entered Laherien from the beginning to the end, she didn't dream, and she couldn't see or feel that dream. Her world has always been this real dark realm, and in her eyes we have been in a daze or doing ridiculous sleepwalking from beginning to end... Now I am very grateful that this guy has no brains, so I don't have to worry about being laughed at by her."
"So, after seeing her enter the tunnel with ease and move freely in the tunnel, I understood everything."
