Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 955

The immortal Lu Yunhe, in his transformed state, stroked his long beard, then raised his whisk and swung it at the kneeling Lord of Dreams. A ray of spiritual light instantly merged into the latter's consciousness.

Immediately, the dream world collapsed, and Lu Yunhe's consciousness returned to the dream void.

The dream bubble he had just entered burst open and vanished without a trace, just like a bubble.

As a dream world that arises from a single thought in life, it can naturally also be annihilated by that same thought.

However, the "dream world" that had vanished at this moment brought its owner something that would change their fate.

In a small village in the distant astral universe, a man suddenly awoke from a dream, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes.

Everyone dreams, but the man had never felt that the dream was so real, especially the last scene.

"The Great Dream Immortal!" the man murmured, and then a scripture appeared in his mind.

"The Great Dream Heart Sutra, visualize the deities manifested by the laws of dreams in the darkness..." Shock and disbelief appeared in the man's eyes. He never expected that something from his dream would actually appear in reality.

If something this bizarre has happened, then anything is possible.

Without the slightest hesitation, the man began to contemplate the dreamlike god that represented the manifestation of the origin of the law, as instructed in the scriptures.

……

"Location detected!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and he instantly sensed the power of faith emanating from a remote star realm universe.

Although separated by an immense distance, the power of faith can still be clearly perceived through this almost omnipresent dream dimension, and the location of the believer can even be pinpointed.

“It’s a good place to develop faith!” Lu Yunhe nodded to himself.

Developing a belief system is somewhat similar to a sales pitch, but you don't need to personally spread it to each individual; you just need to develop a suitable downline.

Even if that person fails, a replacement can be found at any time.

“Even so, it’s still too slow!” Lu Yunhe looked at the entire dream dimension, his eyes flashing.

Moqi, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a chill; someone else was probably going to be in trouble.

"go!"

Lu Yunhe rode on a cloud, holding him and Mo Qi back, and continued flying deeper into the dream world.

Although the Dream Eater can be used as a mount, such exotic beasts are basically used for show, and few people actually ride them.

The Dream Dimension is vast, probably because it is based on illusion. It is almost boundless, and in terms of area alone, it is probably larger than the main continent.

Of course, the size of this world is not very important; what matters most is the quality of the origin.

A glance reveals dream bubbles that appear and disappear like endless starlight, with countless dream bubbles appearing and disappearing at any given moment.

The ups and downs, however, filled the entire dream dimension with a strange beauty.

Lu Yunhe would occasionally visit Dream Bubble, casually scattering opportunities to help the God of Dreams develop his faith.

These thoughts about life generate dream bubbles, the vast majority of which are of ordinary people, with relatively few involving spiritual practitioners.

After all, the first step in cultivation for a practitioner is to control their own thoughts.

Compared to the dreams of ordinary people, the dreams of spiritual practitioners are not only much more realistic, but also more in line with reality, and sometimes even include some details about spiritual practice.

If an ordinary person were to accidentally wander into this place, they might even have the chance to begin their cultivation journey if they were lucky.

The dream dimension is ethereal and unpredictable, and from time to time, dream bubbles collide with each other, weaving together to create some strange dreams.

Some dream bubbles can even exist completely independently within this dream dimension, as a constantly recurring dream bubble, detached from the influence of the dreamer.

In addition to these dream bubbles, there are other beings in the entire dream dimension, like Lu Yunhe, who have come to the dream dimension through secret methods and wander within it.

Some travel to the dream dimension, and even in the illusory dream bubble, there are still real parts.

Some want to use the power of dreams to cultivate, or use it as a springboard to fight enemies.

Lu Yunhe even saw nightmares from the abyss, which specifically devour these dreams.

Even the Dream Eater could do it, but Moqi had already become a legend and looked down on these overly illusory dream bubbles and reflections.

Moreover, the dream resources are simply too vast. Although high-quality dream bubbles exist, they are very difficult to find. It's better to devour the nightmares of professionals in the main world.

Besides these people, there are also some who specialize in trading and exchanging information within this dream dimension.

Although the dream dimension is boundless and endless, it is still possible to analyze some approximate coordinates by using the unique environments within certain dimensions.

Within this dream bubble, as bright as the starry sky, there are also some lights that shimmer with strange colors, which can also serve as coordinates.

These lights, radiating unusual colors, are the undying inspirations that reside permanently in the dream dimension.

It is a permanent residence created by top professionals who influence the dream dimension with their spirituality.

Within this dream dimension, it is also known as Dream City!

Following the coordinates, Lu Yunhe and Mo Qi soon saw a city floating in the void of the dream.

Unlike real-world city architecture, the Dream City in front of us looks very abstract from the outside, with all sorts of strangely shaped modules stacked together in a jumbled mess.

It seems to combine all the things it knows into one: creatures building structures, caves, palaces, forests, and so on...

Although it looks incredibly abstract, it seems to contain a trace of rationality within this completely illusory dream.

Compared to the bizarre architecture, the coming and going crowds, or rather, the consciousness, are even more abstract.

Various obviously fabricated, or even deliberately mixed, consciousnesses constantly move back and forth in the dream.

Since it's all in a dream, there's no need to maintain the original concept, and you can mold your own form however you want.

Being inhuman is just basic stuff; Lu Yunhe kept watching until a steaming plate of roast chicken flew in.

Because in dreams, the physical body is indeed useless; without the constraints of the body, consciousness spreads completely.

Of course, there are also some normal people who maintain a presentable physique.

However, this was not intentional on the part of the people in the dream city; rather, many concepts in dreams are the opposite of reality.

Contrary to what some people think, the closer a dream is to reality and the more detailed it is, the more difficult it becomes.

After all, the most distinctive feature of dreams is that sense of haziness. Imagine yourself as a ball of air, and compared to life forms that have evolved over millions of years in nature, the former is naturally much simpler.

Therefore, the appearance of Lu Yunhe and Mo Qi immediately aroused the respect of the surrounding consciousness entities.

Although Lu Yunhe did not reveal any particular aura, the details that were completely replicated in reality still made it clear to the surrounding consciousnesses that the two were not on the same dimension at all.

Unlike worlds without magic, in worlds with high magic, even dreams are not above the law; they can truly track you down through your internet connection and even within your dreams to cause you trouble.

Compared to Lu Yunhe, Mo Qi was much more arrogant. He flicked his nose slightly, which frightened the surrounding consciousnesses, who showed traces of fear.

Dream Eater Beasts possess almost special attack attributes within dreams, and their innate dominance is something these weak consciousness forms simply cannot contend with.

"go in!"

……

Chapter 850 Dream City

"Stop playing around and go inside!"

Lu Yunhe called out to Mo Qi, who was intimidating the surrounding consciousnesses. The latter, having arrived outside Dream City, was suddenly seized by a playful mood.

One weak consciousness was so frightened that it collapsed on the spot and left the dream dimension.

As a dream-eating beast, it naturally possesses a certain degree of suppression over things in dreams.

Upon reaching the legendary realm, further refinement of this talent can lead to further exploration in the realm of soul consciousness.

Those with talents that involve consciousness, mind, and even the soul have great potential.

Even the concept of dreams is very broad, and can be further sublimated into the realm of soul consciousness.

One of the consciousnesses was so frightened that it collapsed and instantly cleared the area around Lu Yunhe.

However, Moqi did not use his talent to attack specifically, so the collapse of his consciousness in the dream did not have a big impact. At most, he might get sick or feel mentally exhausted after regaining his senses.

At this time, the illusory dream also serves a protective function.

Most of the damage suffered in dreams is difficult to directly affect reality, since it is equivalent to a cross-dimensional attack. Even if it is a low-dimensional attack on a high-dimensional one, the difficulty is still considerable.

Lu Yunhe arrived at the entrance to a dream city. The entire entrance was structured like a pink pig, swinging its trunk, which was very similar to that of a dream-eating beast.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the Dream Eater beside him and felt that the two were probably close relatives.

“Master, there are many branches of the Dream Eater Beast, such as the Nightmare Beast of the Abyss and the Dream Eater of the God Realm… This should be the Dream Eater clan.” Moqi said, looking at his master.

It's called a branch, but in reality, it's just that a certain Dream Eater Beast stood at the peak, and its bloodline was integrated into cultivation.

Then this peak Dream Eater Beast recreated a new species based on its existing bloodline, although the origins may be similar.

Essentially, they are still higher life forms, and are not on the same species level as ordinary life forms.

With the continuous leaps in life, those powerful cultivators have long since transcended the concept of species life.

If Moqi cultivates to the level of a demigod or even a god, he could also create new branches of the Dream Eater Beast based on his divine beast body…

Now, it's just a common Dream Eater. Once you reach the Legendary Realm, the bloodline of such a beast doesn't have much use anymore.

"Could this Dream City be related to the Dream Eater?" Lu Yunhe pondered.

Being able to branch out from exotic beasts like the Dream Eater, the origin of the Dream Eater must be at least at the level of a demigod.

Compared to the infamous Nightmare Beast, the Dream Eater has a much better reputation.

People in the divine realm are not necessarily good, but demons in the abyss are definitely evil.

As soon as Lu Yunhe approached, the Dream Eater's long nose suddenly inhaled, sucking both of them in.

After passing through a deep passage, the entrance-shaped Dream Eater stuck out its rear end and spurted the two of them out.

With his feet firmly planted on the solid ground, Lu Yunhe looked somewhat speechless.

"The person who built this dream city must have some kind of perverse sense of humor."

Although the movements are somewhat similar, the Dream Eater at the entrance is simply a condensation of dream power, serving no other purpose besides acting as a passage.

Lu Yunhe landed on a street with Mo Qi. Apart from the street being exactly the same as in reality, the surrounding buildings were also very distinctive.

This single street, like a celestial road, runs through the entire Dream City.
