Chapter 835: The Return of the Essence of the Soul to the Primordial Dream World Fool Village
Primordial Dream World.
Fool Village
“Sage Master… what, what is this?”
The village head looked at the young girl in front of her as her body gradually turned intangible. She felt that the existence before her was no longer an independent individual, but a symbol, or rather, an emblem.
She stood still here, as if all “life activities” had ceased.
Like a marker standing tall on the Starlight Tower.
The village head was naturally unaware of what was happening. The sage Xiao Han had not told her how to deal with such a situation earlier.
She attempted to reach out to the sage master before her, but found that her hand passed through the sage master’s body just like that.
However, before she could explore further, an anomaly appeared in the sky above Fool Village, filled with stars.
The stars transformed into a pitch-black vortex, as the erosion of the Primordial Dream World began to flood in.
With the intensification of the vortex, the entire sky became aggressive.
Even the Fool Dreamers, living beneath the false sky, seemed to sense an unusual feeling at this moment and instinctively looked up, but all they could see was the harmony depicted for them by the Dream World Scroll.
But at this moment, only the village head, a Fool Dreamer, faced the brutal truth.
Fool Village… began to connect with the Primordial Dream World!
This was not comparable to the previous situation where a Dream Creature broke into the dream of Fool Village.
In the village head’s eyes, the pitch-black sky consumed the stars, and those countless black dots… each one was a Dream Creature that all Fool Dreamers would avoid!
They gathered here along the vortex to form a dream tide, eager to display their most primal urge to devour, as if they had discovered the ultimate delicacy.
And Fool Village was like a banquet meal viewed as food by these Dream Creatures.
Such a terrifying trend made the village head, who didn’t know how long she had survived, fall in shock at the top of the Starlight Tower.
When she subconsciously sought help from the side of the sage master, she found that the ethereal figure had almost dissipated from her sight.
The despair that came after the last glimmer of hope was extinguished struck down this highly regarded village head in that moment.
If there were only one or two Dream Creatures, or even a few more, she could still try to push these beings completely back into the Primordial Dream World.
But with so many Dream Creatures… she couldn’t think of any solution.
“No… how could this be? Has the sage master… failed?” the village head murmured, in panic… the thought of resistance that had just begun to rise was gradually abandoned by her.
“Perhaps it’s better this way… at least in reality, the heroes are still living for us… for the existence of the Fool Dream…”
But upon seeing those Dream Creatures descending from above, she still couldn’t accept it calmly.
She only blamed herself for not having the power to protect everyone!
“Clearly we had been waiting for the sage master, why is it like this?” The village head crawled back up from the top of the tower, feeling that it was still not the moment of despair.
They still had the sacred object!
The Dream World Scroll, this sacred object gathered all the memories of Fool Dreamers and the history inscribed in the past.
It was also the foundation and essence that had protected Fool Village until now.
It relied on the power of the sacred object to weave the past of every Fool Dreamer, relying on memory to shape the shared Fool Village in every Fool Dreamer’s heart.
As the power of the Primordial Dream World flooded into Fool Village, the most vigorous reaction came from the Dream World Scroll.
And as the village head, recognized as the Fool Dreamer by all, she had the ability to control every memory and past of the Fool Dreamers within the Dream World Scroll.
When the Dream World Scroll was activated by the village head, countless memories constantly emerged from the scroll, intangible information woven from countless past “years” and “event nodes” resisting the erosion of the Primordial Dream World and the gnawing of the Dream Creatures.
She exerted all her strength to repel the Primordial Dream World outside of Fool Village, fighting for that negligible living space for all the Fool Dreamers, just so their daily lives would not be disturbed.
Accompanied by the memory of the ocean shining through, the village head watched as those memories were constantly “consumed,” feeling numbness of repetition for the first time.
Those memories repeated day after day, weaving into the current Fool Village, creating a life of prosperity and harmony.
But the daily life, which she didn’t know how many times it had repeated, continuously washed over her cognition in such a short time, making the village head feel a sense of numbness and confusion about life for the first time.
But her cognition constantly told her, isn’t this the beauty that life pursues?
All the hopes for beauty embedded within the Primordial Dream World seemed to narrate this way.
However, the village head, who had never truly experienced life’s yearning for beauty, seemed not to understand a concept.
Being immersed in an endless beautiful world was no different from being in hell.
After the Dream World Scroll had repelled the first wave of Dream Creatures’ attack, the village head understood that if this continued, it would only be a drop in the bucket.
Looking at the Dream Creatures that were about to break into Fool Village, the Dream World Scroll could absolutely not resist such an existence.
Should she just resign herself to fate?
As she thought despairingly, she felt a familiar stirring from the Dream World Scroll.
“It’s the sage master!” The village head immediately became excited.
Only the sage master holding the sacred object would trigger such a reaction from the Dream World Scroll!
Just when she was excited, a breathtaking scene erupted in the starry sky, rendering her speechless.
A long staircase wound down from the deep Primordial Dream World.
That towering figure was unmistakable!
“Sage Master!”
At this moment, the village head called out sincerely, as if she suddenly had a backbone and something to rely on.
Perhaps she had never been a qualified village head; she had simply prepared to sacrifice for Fool Village from the very beginning.
Using her own plunge into the Primordial Dream World to exchange for peace and stability for Fool Village was the mission for the existence of Fool Village.
At this moment, her call seemed to attract the attention of the sage master.
Her current figure was so dazzling that the Fool Dreamers could not see her image, and even the Dream Creatures dared not approach that great sage master at all. The pitch-black nightmares exclusively formed an absolutely inviolable vacuum around her.
“I’m sorry… I did not expect my one action to cause such an impact on Fool Village…”
At this moment, my voice echoed above Fool Village. I looked at the village head on the Starlight Tower, still feeling quite apologetic.
But obviously, a verbal apology held no meaning now, and the best way to apologize… was to help Fool Village resolve its current troubles with action!
“Now let me handle everything.” Accompanied by my voice reaching the village head’s ears, a creation resembling the Box of Books appeared in my hand again.
But this was still not the Box of Books; after all, reality’s material could not appear in the dream.
However, this book in my hand… a creation from my domain, represented the order within my Dream Realm!
And the concept it anchored was a weapon, as well as the embodiment of the knowledge power order from the Box of Books.
As the pages flipped open, a massive knowledge power erupted from within the Box of Books, transforming into golden chains that bound and annotated the technique, sealing them within the bodies of the Dream Creatures.
And this was far from over; the chains woven from knowledge power spun into a golden net, completely sealing off the vortex of flooding between Fool Village and the Primordial Dream World.
Countless Dream Creatures could not invade before the domain order.
And all of it concluded so effortlessly.
I gently tossed the Box of Books in my hand upwards, and it formed the final shackles, completely blocking the invasion of the Primordial Dream World.
“Great… indeed, the true power of the sage master cannot be resisted by any Dream Creature!”
Seeing my figure gradually approaching the Starlight Tower, the village head also excitedly came forward.
“This was our disaster triggered, so it is only natural for me to quell it. I hope you won’t blame me.” I helped the village head up and comforted her.
“No… that’s not it! The sage master is the hope of our Fool Dream Clan; how could we possibly blame you? If anyone should be blamed, it should be those bad guys! They took advantage of the sage master’s return to launch an attack on Fool Village…”
“Let’s not argue about that…” Seeing the village head still so stubborn, I chose not to pursue the mistake further. After all, this matter can be considered to be in the past.
My initial attempt to guide souls into Fool Village had also been completed.
The souls entered Fool Village as if it were surprisingly smooth.
But this could not be blamed on the Dream Creatures being weak; it was due to my deep foundation that allowed me to adapt to this Primordial Dream World.
I wouldn’t say the Dream Realm could rampantly traverse the Primordial Dream World without opponents, but for now, such power was enough for my self-protection and to shelter this group of Fool Dreamers.
And this also meant I had enough time, energy, and resources to conduct the experiments I desired within the Primordial Dream World.
What could be a more dreamy start?
But let us not forget, my initial thought was to complete the shaping of life for the Fool Dreamers, but a series of accidents forced me to explore the possibilities of dream realm soul material.
Even now that I encountered another group of Fool Dreamers, it still wouldn’t change my original intention.
After calming the village head, I took her away from the Starlight Tower. After all, such a big event had just occurred in Fool Village. Even if everything was shrouded by the false sky depicted by the Dream World Scroll, many Fool Dreamers still sensed the anomaly.
After some discussion, the village head and I decided not to tell everyone the truth for the time being. After all, such matters could easily cause panic, and even if we provided an explanation, it could leave the Fool Dreamers with uneasy thoughts.
The final outcome was good, so there was no need to complicate matters.
So ultimately… the village head only told everyone that their sage master had once again expelled the Dream Creatures invading Fool Village, protecting everyone.
And that was also the truth, wasn’t it?
It’s just that she didn’t explicitly mention how many Dream Creatures there were.
After the celebration, everyone returned to their normal “lives.”
However, at this moment, as the village head saw everyone returning to their familiar “daily lives,” an odd feeling emerged in her heart.
“What’s wrong?”
I sensed the village head’s inner turmoil; even without Heart Sense, I could read from her expression… she seemed to feel regret for other Fool Dreamers.
“No… it’s nothing. Seeing them happily return to their normal lives makes me very happy!”
“Really?”
“Mm, really…”
“Alright then~”
My gaze was on this village head, making her awkwardly turn her head away.
I didn’t know exactly what this village head was thinking; after all, Heart Sense was not mind reading. But I felt an unwillingness toward the current situation from her…
In any case, it was a very complex and tangled contradictory emotion that caused her to continually avoid this feeling.
After returning to my small house and playing a bit with Yu Lan and other Fool Dreamers, I began my serious work.
Previously, I had made a bold hypothesis about nightmares, positing that nightmares were a state of dream soul material, merely polluted by negative information and concepts.
So the next step was naturally to attempt to separate the pollution within the nightmares.
Previously, through my consciousness, I had employed an incomplete soul drawing technique that had already verified the characteristics of nightmares as raw materials for the soul drawing technique.
As long as I resolved its inability to transcend into a higher-level concept, everything would have an answer.
However, this was undoubtedly a long process, with many issues to resolve.
For example, how to perceive the emotions within nightmares, how to define negative emotions, and how to define and strip away this negative emotional concept from the nightmares…
All of this would require a lot of experiments and bold speculations to keep the momentum going.
And just after resolving the crisis in Fool Village.
The real-world aspect of the Expanding Realm continued its exploration of the Primordial Dream World fervently.
“Are those witches really that reckless? They actually took the initiative to enter the Primordial Dream World, even stepping onto that staircase.” The extraordinary wizards observed the actions of the Witch Academy with envy, yet hesitated to imitate them.
They, as wizards, represented rationality!
In the face of such unknowns, recklessness would be the greatest irresponsibility to oneself.
But this also indirectly represented the terrifying foundation of the Witch Race!
As the initiators of the Fourth Life Interpretation, the witches used the Soul Great Topic as Truth Contribution, which became the foundation of the essence of the Witch Race’s life, making their race incomparable.
The advantages brought by the concept of the soul within the realm of the Primordial Dream World were also unprecedented.
However, the reason the concept of the soul could not be widely adopted was naturally because the race triggering this wave was the Extraordinary Witches!
Accepting the concept of the soul was tantamount to walking within a framework established by the witches. The history of the void had long pointed the way for them.
It was still better to rely on soul material as the life framework; at least the development of soul material had a long history, and every race had its own foundation in the system of the essence of soul material life.
As for the soul… it was uncertain.
But the advantages of the soul in the realm of the Primordial Dream World compelled all races to take it seriously, though on the surface, they still had to resist it.
