Chapter 415
Chapter 415
There are many ways to enter the dimension of dreams.
For most ordinary superhumans, the dimension of dreams is mysterious, unpredictable, and eerie. It is very difficult for them to enter... but this is undoubtedly only true for regular superhumans.
The Imperial Guards present and the people of Babel Tower are all powerful individuals among the superhumans, naturally they have corresponding methods.
But to enter the dimension of dreams, what they first need is... a dream.
So, whose dream should they enter?
Bai Yan understood very well that he and the others must enter the dream of someone with the Blank Fire. Upon careful consideration, he realized that there were actually quite a few potential targets to choose from.
Because more and more people were starting to dream of the Blank Fire.
"Let's start with the dream of that shop owner," Mr. World said calmly.
Bai Yan nodded quietly, without any objections, it didn't matter to him whose dream he entered.
The recluse chuckled and said, "That guy, I actually know him. He is a lower ranked Crown, a remarkable individual. He used to be one of the top spell tool makers in the Air Alliance. However, he got involved in numerous battles and conflicts to claim his creations. With his powerful spell tools, he ended the lives of countless people who had offended him. Now, he lives in seclusion in Chord City... Back then, I once invited him in Chord City, hoping he would join the Imperial Guards as a 'Magician.' However, my offer was declined."(Translated by Gravity Tales 😘)
A reclusive Crown, you say?
Bai Yan listened silently, without uttering a word.
Chord City was the gathering place for extraordinary individuals from the Air Alliance. However, the Crown level extraordinaries were indeed renowned figures, with prestigious statuses. They couldn't possibly be ordinary characters who could casually set up a stall.
The Crown level extraordinaries have always been the backbone of each major power. Among the dozens of awakening level extraordinaries, only one or two individuals would have the opportunity to reach the Crown level in their lifetime.
As for the masters at the Apocalypse level, they have always been rare throughout the entire world.
"Why did you refuse?"
Miss Justice didn't understand. She frowned, thinking that joining the Imperial Guards would bring many beautiful things!
"Because not many people want to be controlled by others," the usually quiet Scarlet Moon spoke up suddenly.
Everyone turned their gaze towards this powerful vampire, the Scarlet Moon, and they could all sense just how incredibly strong she was, never concealing her hidden power.
It can be said that among the Imperial Guards, besides Mr. "World" himself, not even the middle-ranked Apocalypse, "Tower" Shi Nianyu, could be entirely certain of defeating the Scarlet Moon.
Everyone pays close attention to her words and actions.
For some reason, upon hearing the Scarlet Moon's words, Bai Yan felt a slight sense of embarrassment.
Then, he immediately began to reflect... how did his own thick skin suddenly become thinner?
"So, let's go to that store tonight."
Mr. World made a decision.
No one objected, and there was nothing to dispute.
Before the night truly arrived, it was time for everyone to prepare.
Suddenly, the White Lion spoke again, with a serious expression. "Everyone must be careful and cautious in the dimension of dreams," he said. "Don't think that having the ability to come back to life means you can do whatever you want. When we enter the dream dimension, we go as spirits, not physical bodies... The spirit and the soul are interconnected, and they impact each other. If the soul is harmed or even destroyed, the ability to come back to life loses its meaning."
"That means, if we are destroyed in the realm of dreams, we might really die."
--
When everyone had left one by one, Bai Yan also returned to his own room.
He let out a sigh and soon heard the sound of heavy breathing.
"Don't move."
Sure enough, they came again.
In the shadow, the familiar sound, followed by the familiar scent, and then Scarlet Moon leaped out without hesitation and embraced him.
Before Bai Yan could utter a word, the Scarlet Moon eagerly pressed her lips against him, beginning to draw fresh blood.
"Enduring for so long, you've been through a lot," Bai Yan sighed once again.
The Scarlet Moon didn't reply, but continued to drink to her heart's content.
Bai Yan didn't know what else to say, so he simply stood there, serving as a beverage dispenser.
This kind of thing, he had gradually grown accustomed to...
A few minutes passed, and Bai Yan heard the voice of the Scarlet Moon.
"No dying allowed."
The Scarlet Moon suddenly loosened her grip, as if she were already satisfied. She gazed into his eyes, her expression calm yet unquestionably commanding, as she said, "As my sustenance, remember, you are absolutely forbidden to die... Otherwise, I will definitely go mad."
"Okay, I won't die." Bai Yan nodded reluctantly.
"Um..."
The Scarlet Moon nodded and continued to draw blood, seemingly enjoying it and reluctant to leave until tonight's arrival.
"Sir!"
In the hallway, Maryse's voice echoed.
"Hide for a moment, it wouldn't be good if Maryse finds you," Bai Yan quickly said.
However, the Scarlet Moon showed no intention of letting go again. She calmly spoke,
"Let her go."
Bai Yan tried to push the Scarlet Moon away, but immediately felt a sharp pain in his neck, and the Scarlet Moon held on tightly.
The Scarlet Moon quietly spoke, "Profligate, you also don't want her to find out, do you?"
After hearing this, Bai Yan could only sigh, feeling a bit helpless.
"Okay... I'll give it a try."
Maryse walked up to the door and knocked a few times.
"Elder, are you inside? I know you must be in there, right? Otherwise, how could my psychic power be blocked and unable to sense what's inside? Hehehe."
The clever little puppy called out from outside.
"Hmm, don't come in just yet," Bai Yan's tone was very calm.
"Why?"
Maryse indeed didn't force her way in, instead, she asked about the reason from outside.
Very good.
"Because... I was studying a special ceremony inside the room, very, very special. If this ceremony is observed by others, it will become ineffective... I cannot let anyone outside of me notice it."
Bai Yan made up nonsense.
"Hmm, then I won't come in."
The voice of the young fairy girl suddenly became calm.
Maryse was even more obedient than Bai Yan had imagined, which left him a little stunned.
Voices continued to be heard outside the door.
"In fact, I would never do what my senior doesn't want me to do. No matter what my senior is doing or why, I will try to believe in and understand it."
For a moment, Bai Yan was left speechless.
Maryse ultimately didn't force her way into the room. Instead, she turned around and left.
The Scarlet Moon drank enough fresh blood. Her expressionless face now looked satisfied.
"She listens to you very carefully."
"Mmm." Bai Yan nodded with a meaningful expression.
The Scarlet Moon continued, "You... shouldn't have deceived her."
Bai Yan stood frozen for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Wasn't it you who asked me to deceive her and make her leave?"
"I just wanted her to leave, not for you to deceive her... Deception, it seems to be your preferred method, even when dealing with those you trust and who trust you, you don't trust them."
"You are very proud... Even if you treat others kindly, you should still follow your own thoughts."
The Scarlet Moon's tone was incredibly calm, as if stating an indisputable fact, very serene.
Bai Yan fell into silence, giving a faint smile, and remained quiet.
"I don't like being fooled, so from now on, you cannot die, and you cannot deceive me."
At this moment, the Scarlet Moon's gaze was intense, leaving Bai Yan momentarily uncertain about how to respond to her.
Originally, the simple "okay" that usually came out effortlessly couldn't be spoken at that moment, but he also didn't want to say "no."
The power of souls was contained within their blood. Through repeated blending of their blood, their souls gradually merged and influenced each other, making their bond even tighter.
The Scarlet Moon is the "Savior" Bai Yan's spawn.
Even millions of years later, her descendants still had a special connection when facing Bai Yan, let alone herself.
The closeness between the two had long exceeded normal standards.
Bai Yan understood deeply that the Scarlet Moon would always depend on him in countless future years.
"Not answering me is fine too. At least you didn't deceive me again."
As the Scarlet Moon left, she didn't look back.
----
One evening.
In the enchanting magic shop, the shopkeeper, who resembled a beautiful woman, sat silently behind the counter, her dainty brows slightly furrowed.
What does that dream really mean?
He knew that the dreams of the extraordinary always held significance, and his frequent dreams of the Blank Fire surely meant more than aimless nothingness.
However, the shopkeeper couldn't understand the specific reasons, because he had never heard of this Blank Fire before.
Meanwhile, the shopkeeper also had a vague feeling that the person who had found him before was definitely extraordinary.
Chord City is the gathering place for the extraordinary members of the Air Alliance, and it is home to numerous Crown level individuals who have resided there for a long time. However, there are only a handful of people who can easily control themselves.
The shopkeeper muttered to himself, "Hmm, unfamiliar faces, so they must be strong individuals who came from outside... from other cities of the Air Alliance."
"Chord City, is something about to happen...?"
Just at that moment, he sensed a very powerful aura and instinctively became tense.
"Who?"
The shop door swung open slowly, and into the dimly-lit night stepped not a human, but a tall, lion-like creature with fur as white as snow.
The shop owner's eyelid twitched as he recognized the other person as the "Ultimate Iron Wall of the Air Alliance," one of the legendary Imperial Guards!
"Power"
The shop owner took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, but what happened next completely overwhelmed him.
"How could it be..."
Before long, the Imperial Guards, who usually didn't act as a group, unexpectedly gathered together and stood in his shop, just like a field of cabbage. Among them, the man standing in the center left the shop owner in awe.
The mightiest warrior of the Air Alliance, World...
"I... Is it because of that dream that you've come to find me?" trembled the shop owner.
"Not bad."
With World's response, the shop owner began to feel a sense of drowsiness. Subconsciously, they became alert, wanting to resist, but utterly powerless to do so...
"What exactly do you want..."
"Boom!"
The shopkeeper fell asleep on the counter.
Everyone from Babel Tower also entered. They all surrounded the shop owner in silence. The extraordinary individuals at the Crown level, originally having a reputable status, appeared insignificant in front of the two groups of people.
Became tools used for entering dreams.
"Power, Justice, your spirit is weaker. Stay in the real world, while we go to that dimension."
Mr. World said calmly.
Bai Yan also signaled for the Scarlet Moon to stay in the real world.
Mu Ling, Maryse, Alan, and oneself went together to the dimension of dreams.
The Scarlet Moon listened and glanced at him. She said, "Be careful, don't die... Once your soul is destroyed, you cannot be revived."
Maryse had an expressionless face.
Just now, she didn't use her psychic powers to investigate the situation in the senior's room, but she realized that among her companions... only the Scarlet Moon was not in her own room.
By the way, it's worth mentioning that "Kaluoer" from Hidden Azure never made an appearance, to the extent that even the Imperial Guards were unaware of her existence.
Actually, Kaluoer has always been following everyone in the void dimension. This is what the "Savior" requested.
As the sky grew darker, the Recluse silently placed candles in the corners of the shop, using dark-colored blood from mysterious creatures to paint the ground, creating the special magical pattern needed for the dream induction ritual.
When everything was ready, all the people who needed to enter the dream stood beside the already sleeping shopkeeper.
The scene appeared as if it were some kind of wicked ritual, and the poor, sleeping shopkeeper seemed nothing more than a harmless and pitiful sacrifice.
But in reality, it was not always so. The shopkeeper had once been a renowned figure in his younger years.
Bai Yan silently observed everything here.
Except for himself, no one knew that the Bai Yan here was merely an incarnation.
The real Bai Yan, still seated inside the Babel Tower, calmly observed the progress of everything... Just kidding! Even with a foundation of cooperation and trust, he had no intention of exposing his true self to such a degree of danger in the "world."
"Better safe than sorry," the saying goes.
Bai Yan sat on the throne inside the Babel Tower, calmly propping up his chin with one hand, while the other gently rested on the edge, and a phone quietly floated in front of him.
"World of dreams."
"World of dreams."
"Guide me ahead, not on this shore."
Recluse, this mysterious old man, muttered to himself as power flowed through the air. The ritual of entering dreams quickly began, and an invisible drowsiness enveloped everyone nearby.
After a while, Bai Yan could feel himself falling.
Falling down.
Fell.
His body kept moving downward.
He fell.
All the surroundings were constantly changing, and in the midst of this, Bai Yan remained awake, understanding that he was having a dream.
Or rather, he was venturing into someone else's dreams.
In the next instant, he opened his eyes.
Bai Yan found himself standing in the magic props shop, but all the people around him had disappeared, leaving him alone in the shop.
All the decorations and props were clearly visible, perfectly matching the state they would be in reality.
No, no, that's not right. I must be dreaming.
Bai Yan smiled and, following the proper procedures of entering dreams, gave himself a psychological suggestion.
Even though he felt that it was impossible for him to get lost.
"Bai Yan, from now on, you must remember that you are just dreaming, and you mustn't get lost."
This should be the first layer of the dream world.
Every person's dreams are divided into three layers. The first layer is called the "Reality Layer," where things are based on common knowledge. The second layer is called the "Fantasy Layer," where things are based on imagination. The third layer is called the "Primitive Layer," where things are based on desires and instincts.
When they dream, people wander randomly among the three layers of dreams. As a result, they create various dreams that intertwine reality, fantasy, and primal desires.
As long as they delve deeper into the primal layer of dreams, they can enter the legendary Soul Dimension.
In the vast multiverse, the souls of all living beings exist within the one and only Soul Dimension.
At this moment, Bai Yan was in a very special state. He was both in a dream and not in a dream.
Inside the Babel Tower, the entity was not pulled into the dimension of dreams, but instead, it observed everything that was happening from a higher perspective.
He could actively switch between the perspectives of two "selves".
Through the mobile app "Babel Tower," Bai Yan could not only see his dream self but also see all the members of Babel Tower who had infiltrated into the dimension of dreams.
For some reason, Bai Yan suddenly felt a flutter in his heart.
The act of delving into the dream realm in pursuit of the "Blank Fire" might lead to uncovering more unexpected secrets and discoveries, perhaps beyond what one could have ever imagined.
It is a secret about himself...
