They had already entered the Dream Realm's territory?
Upon hearing this, Star Worm instinctively raised his head and looked beyond the dome, wanting to see what the most illusory realm of legend looked like.
But he had forgotten that the dome had already turned into frosted glass. Other than vaguely seeing vast colored mists swirling outside, he could make out nothing else.
Owl seemed to have guessed Star Worm's thoughts. He too lifted his head, his pitch-black eyes fixed on the blurred skylight overhead.
"Don't think about looking at the Dream Realm's scenery. Any image presented by the Dream Realm could be false. The closer you get to the Dream Realm, the more illusory it becomes."
"For instance, the scene outside right now." Owl said, "You can't see it, but I can describe it to you. Outside is currently a forest of towering buildings. The colored mist you see is actually the multicolored neon lights on those buildings."
"Such a scene is obviously not real, but a dreamlike illusion."
As Owl spoke, he withdrew his gaze. His body remained motionless as his head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees toward Star Worm. "If this illusion came from the dream of some intelligent being outside, then it's fine. It wouldn't be particularly dangerous."
"But if this illusion is bait deliberately placed here by a Dream Realm lifeform, then it's very dangerous."
Star Worm asked, "Even you, Conductor, think Dream Realm lifeforms are dangerous?"
Owl blinked. "Of course. I'm not good at fighting. Have you forgotten what I said earlier? My rank is only this high because I'm well-liked, and everyone let me have it. Asking me to fight those Dream Realm lifeforms? I definitely can't do it."
Although Owl spoke with righteous conviction, Star Worm did not believe him at all.
