Dreamscape Depth
Why do I feel like someone is calling me?
Song Shige frowned, watching his Sanctuary rapidly traverse the Land of Darkness. Outside the window was a deathly silence, devoid of any sign of life.
But his Martial Will was trembling slightly, emitting a low hum that only he could hear. A profound Martial Will connects with heaven and earth, and perhaps it contains some kind of premonition or inexplicable perception of cause and effect.
After observing for a moment, Song Shige's gaze fell on Han Song.
Han Song shuddered and said seriously, "It wasn't me."
"I know."
Even so, Blood City in Song Shige's hands still captured Han Song's soul, allowing him to continue honing his will. When he returned to the region and used a special item, he could easily awaken his Martial Will. This could be considered an early start to his training.
"Six more days until we reach the Divine Court World." Song Shige glanced at the Sanctuary's control system and muttered to himself, "Then we can see how to devour the 'Gods' within the Divine Court."
Su Luo provided ample information, so Song Shige didn't need to worry too much about exploration and planning; he just needed to focus on the fighting.
After all, the previous plan was to kill monsters to level up, and monsters in the Land of Darkness all give experience points, so not suppressing one's level was just a last resort.
However, the newly arrived civilization does not have Survival System that recognizes a level, so there are no experience points. You can kill them at will without worrying about your level being too low, which can be considered a Fortuitous Opportunity.
Moreover, the information Su Luo sent indicated that this was a super-large pig farm, where corrupt Gods enslaved the ignorant human world, so killing would be done with a clear and enlightened mind.
They will become provisions in the Future.
Su Luo needs to wait for the arrival of the industrial system, the Demon King, and the data on Ming Yuanwu's panel. Only after everything is in place can she officially begin her infiltration and even war against the Divine Court World.
While waiting, Su Luo didn't sit idle; she began trying to re-enter the [Eternal Night Court].
According to the Machine Fortress's account, the former Eternal Night Court was forged from the Dreamscape of over a hundred billion living beings.
The billions of beings here are quite powerful, with at least 18 Attributes at the minimum, which is terrifying.
After all, the Previous Civilization was most likely like the current Divine Court World, suddenly falling into the Land of Darkness. After experiencing a series of disasters, darkness, destruction, and changes, the turbulent civilization chose to gather the Dreamscape of the remaining living beings to forge the [Eternal Night Court].
The surviving creatures have a guaranteed level of strength, and their corresponding Dreamscape level is also much higher by default. The most valuable thing about the Eternal Night Court is actually the large Dreamscape itself, even though it has been largely Corrosion by the Desolation Plague.
But when Su Luo left the [Eternal Night Court], she saw the Tower sleeping. After the Eternal Night Court was Corrosion, most of the structure was the Tower itself. It was as if the entire Dreamscape was locked, making it very difficult to enter again, unlike before when she could be inexplicably sucked in whenever she passed by.
However, with the blessing of the [Dreamscape Weaver's Crown] and the help of the Machine Fortress leading the way, the crown's "Dreamscape Linking" effect allowed him to move through the gaps in the Dreamscape with ease. As the builder of the Tower, the Machine Fortress still had some memory of the structure of the Eternal Night Court.
The two, one after the other, passed through the Dreamscape barrier and finally touched that familiar boundary, which carried the aura of Desolation Plague.
Unlike the open space in front of the Tower that she had reached before, this time Su Luo sneaked in and arrived directly at the edge of the Dreamscape, where there was only a gray, boundless Void and Era Fragment drifting around in the Void.
The fragments, like shattered mirrors, floated on the edge of the Dreamscape, each reflecting a moment from Previous Civilization —fallen Gods, weeping beings, and a silent Tower...
"We are now outside of all the deeper layers of the Eternal Night Court of Deep Dreams; the current Dreamscape Depth is roughly the same as that of an ordinary Dreamscape."
Machine Fortress and Su Luo stood in a blank space, looking at the world they had been away from for so long.
"So all the deep Dreamscape are contained by the Tower, right?"
Su Luo pointed to the towering Tower in the distance, which was faintly visible in the hazy Void, its golden light already dimmed.
"That's right, and the Desolation Plague is locked deep within the Tower; now is the perfect time for you to steal it."
The Machine Fortress spoke with a complex tone. He was the builder of the Tower, and also Tower prisoner, Reincarnation inside for countless years, dying countless times, before finally escaping in the form of a Dreamscape mechanical body.
"Why are you putting it so harshly? I just can't stand seeing resources wasted and want to make use of waste."
After she finished speaking, an extreme suction force erupted around Su Luo, a kind of gravity from the Essence of Dreamscape, strangely destroying everything around her.
The Dreamscape around her began to shatter visibly, the grayish-white Void like glass struck by a hammer, cracks Spread in all directions from where Su Luo stood.
Then, those fragments slowly transformed into an unknown object emanating Chaos colors, something like shattered ice crystals, floating in the Void, with many other fragments dissipating around it.
"Oops, I couldn't control myself and wasted some." Su Luo was inexperienced this time.
These are Dreamscape Fragment.
The Essence of Dreamscape Fragments is the Dreamscape itself, and the Dreamscape itself is a resource that cannot be generated on its own.
Dreamscape are like that; once they're shattered, they're shattered; once they're gone, they're gone. They won't come back to life on their own.
In other words, once the Dreamscape Depth is lost, it's lost forever; the maximum cannot be recovered. Unlike the blue bar, the maximum and the current stock are separate.
With Su Luo's research on Dreamscape starting from the District War, coupled with the complete analysis of the Machine Fortress and the [Dreamscape Ecosystem Foundation Construction Experiment Log - Miles Academy], a new method for expanding the Dreamscape Depth has emerged.
That is cultivation, infinitely expanding the edges of the Dreamscape, relying on a large influx of energy from reality, forcibly drawing something from the strange space where the Dreamscape is located, so as to expand the "depth" of the Dreamscape.
This method of expanding the "depth" of the Dreamscape is the default. Su Luo discovered that the Dreamscape of any powerful person automatically undergo this kind of cultivation; it's a passive process where the Dreamscape automatically becomes stronger, including his own Dreamscape.
Just like an ordinary person's heart beats automatically and lungs breathe automatically, the Dreamscape of a strong person automatically deepen, eventually expanding to the level corresponding to that strength—these are all default passive skills.
Su Luo turned this process into an active one, increasing efficiency tenfold, but the speed was still ridiculously slow.
According to his estimation, the Dreamscape limit of an ordinary creature with 20 Main Attributes is used as the standard, which is "scale one" of Dreamscape Depth.
The Dreamscape limit here refers to the maximum extent to which the Dreamscape can automatically become stronger. It is assumed that this creature with 20 Attributes has lived for a long time, and the Dreamscape has fully matured.
Su Luo's Dreamscape Depth is currently only "0.2", which is the result of drawing some Soul Servant.
Strictly speaking, Su Luo has only been on the path of extraordinary beings for a little over four months. The depth of her Dreamscape generally increases on its own and has nothing to do with the Dreamscape techniques Su Luo had previously mastered.
