Bai Ge put away the agreement and quickly cleaned up the scene, returning the safe to its original position. Since he had cut a hole in the back, Hu Hanlong wouldn't discover anything unless he opened the safe.
After tidying up the scene and even spraying some air freshener, he wore gloves and shoe covers, being extremely cautious and leaving no trace behind.
Shouldering his bag, Bai Ge tiptoed out. Before jumping out the window, he glanced at the living room. The servant was still happily watching TV, completely oblivious.
"Ten more minutes, and his wife will probably be back..."
Bai Ge had an excellent sense of time. Sometimes, he could tell the time without looking at a watch, with an error of no more than a minute.
He jumped out the window without being seen. However, the moment he landed, his hair stood on end. A dark shadow lunged at him silently.
"Huh?"
Bai Ge didn't have time to dodge and was pounced on by the vicious dog.
"Ah! Hiss..."
The vicious dog bit his arm. If Bai Ge hadn't reacted quickly to protect himself, its fangs would have sunk into his face.
"Is this dog crazy?"
Bai Ge had underestimated the dog.
He hadn't expected that the vicious dog had already finished the large pork hock from before and was still thinking about the stranger who had broken in. It had been lurking in the corner and now refused to let go of him.
"Hiss, it ate my flesh and is still biting me!"
Bai Ge's arm throbbed with pain. He wanted to take out another braised pork hock, but the dog had him pinned down and was biting one of his hands, making it impossible to reach the meat bone.
He wished he could draw his knife and kill the vicious dog, but he forced himself to endure it, as doing so would ruin his stealthy operation.
Manager Chen had asked him to plant the equipment stealthily, naturally wanting him to do it without anyone noticing.
"Grrr... Roar!"
The vicious dog suddenly felt a blow to its belly from Bai Ge, finally loosening its grip. But then it lunged for his face.
If this bite landed, Bai Ge's handsome face would likely be disfigured.
At the critical moment, Bai Ge smelled the foul breath of the vicious dog and felt the cold, sticky sensation of its fangs on his forehead.
But in an instant, as if possessed, his mind raced with random thoughts, bringing forth various scenes from his previous lucid dreams.
The feelings of "holding the universe" and "infinite and vast" from before reappeared, just like a daydream!
Immediately after, the vicious dog vanished, leaving Bai Ge completely bewildered.
"Where did the dog go?"
Bai Ge was truly stunned. The feeling from his lucid dream had flashed through his mind, and then, as if in a dream, a living, breathing large dog had simply disappeared before his eyes.
"Do I have superpowers?"
Bai Ge was a very calm person. He suppressed the pain in his arm and began to recall that feeling.
If it were truly a superpower, there was no reason it could only be used once. He was sure he could trigger that state again.
As expected, Bai Ge quickly regained the feeling of his lucid dream.
"This isn't a dream..."
The reality before him and the dream in his heart existed simultaneously. The two bizarre visions overlapped, and he could immediately confirm that this was not a "daydream" or "waking dream" or anything like that.
It was too clear. The universe in his mind was the same as it was before he woke up in the hospital. It contained many mystical rules he had set, and they still existed.
A dream couldn't possibly have such a clear sequel, could it? Dreams don't save progress...
Closing his eyes, his mind sank into another universe. He was still the supreme Sovereign.
It wasn't simply a matter of having immense power. Even the phrase "commanding rules" couldn't fully describe it.
All rules existed and changed because of him. He was "The Definier," the weaver of all natural settings.
This was fundamentally different from being a creator god. Rules were not something objective that it then controlled.
Instead, Bai Ge himself was "objectivity" itself.
Of course, this feeling was something everyone experienced because everyone had a "brain hole," or rather, "inner fantasy."
Who hadn't indulged in "wishful thinking"? The only difference was the "clarity."
For a thinker, everyone was the absolute ruler of their imagined world, the weaver of settings, the supreme will.
Whatever they thought happened, happened. It wasn't as if one could think something but be unable to think it. No intelligent being experienced that.
Therefore, Bai Ge was no stranger to this feeling. It was just that it was too clear...
He felt as if he were experiencing two "realities"—one before his eyes, and one in his heart.
"This isn't a dream... it actually exists?"
At this moment, irrefutable proof forced Bai Ge to re-examine the incredibly clear world in his brain hole.
The vicious dog that had bitten him now appeared on a planet he had created – a world of immortal heroes.
It was one of the many worlds he had casually created while lying in his hospital bed.
The real dog appearing in his imagined place made Bai Ge completely abandon the thought that this was a dream.
"If things in reality can go in, can things in fantasy come out?"
Bai Ge, without bothering with any dogs, was excited to try and pull a large chunk of gold from his mind.
Who told him he was short on money!
"Holy crap!"
Feeling a strange sensation at the back of his head, he reached up and touched it. To his surprise, a piece of gold had actually come out.
This wasn't just ordinary gold; it was Cloud Pattern Gold, a primordial item from the immortal-hero world he had created.
In his mind, this was a heavenly treasure that countless immortals and gods would clamor for.
Holding this gold nugget with its naturally beautiful patterns, although it no longer radiated divine light or spiritual energy, its appearance was still wondrously exquisite, far more beautiful than any gold artifact he had ever seen.
It was just... too light...
"Why is it so light?" Bai Ge, who had planned to exchange it for money, quickly noticed something was wrong.
He squeezed it with force, and the Cloud Pattern Gold crumbled like mud, softer than even tofu.
"Impossible! I designed it to be extremely hard, so hard that even immortals couldn't smelt it, let alone me crushing it with my bare hands..."
Bai Ge frowned. This thing had been weakened too much. Forget exchanging it for money; it was completely useless.
Not believing it, he directly transported himself into his "brain hole."
After a few attempts, he had already figured out how to use this ability.
His head; anything that touched his head could be brought in, and conversely, things from inside could pop out from the back of his head...
This naturally included himself, and just like that, he bizarrely disappeared.
On a special planet in a certain universe within the "brain hole" world, the reason it was special was that Bai Ge himself had designed that planet.
The meaning of the entire universe originated from that planet. It was during a previous lucid dream... Bai Ge had wanted to create an immortal-hero world, so he shaped this universe.
The universe was incredibly vast. How could he possibly design every single planet? He had only truly designed this one. As for what the other planets were like, Bai Ge hadn't bothered to manage them at all; they were likely random.
On that planet, a vicious dog stood in utter confusion.
It stood at the peak of a giant mountain amidst a range of mountains, feeling much lighter and more agile than usual. Suddenly, it let out a long howl towards the sky, its sound earth-shattering, causing the very rocks to tremble and the wind to sweep away clouds.
"Woof!"
This single bark was earth-shattering. A foul, pungent breath also surged forth. Though not much, it stirred the winds and clouds, obliterating numerous mountains and forcefully carving out a path.
An unfortunate immortal sect was destroyed as a result, its protective mountain array shattering like a soap bubble.
"Who destroyed my Daoji Sect?" a disheveled old man roared, filled with both anger and shock, as he flew into the sky.
The vicious dog had merely exhaled, and it caused the downfall of a major sect. Only one secluded immortal who was quick enough to escape survived.
This howl shook the entire planet, and soon, tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in the depths of the mountain range.
"A dog?"
The old man trembled as he looked at the vicious dog. Despite his cultivation, he couldn't discern the dog's true nature.
However, judging by its appearance, the vicious dog didn't look impressive. It wasn't standing on auspicious clouds, nor was it radiating divine light.
It just looked like an ordinary, foolish dog, tail tucked between its legs, watching the countless people flying in the sky.
This wicked dog was startled by the cultivators flying from all directions, its eyes filled with panic.
After all, these cultivators were putting on a show, each more ostentatious than the last. Many of their mounts were exotic beasts several times larger than the vicious dog.
Initially, everyone thought the dog was some ancient, rare species. But when they saw the panic in its eyes, they immediately began to look down on it.
"It's afraid of us."
"Strange, was that really its bark just now? This dog must be unusual."
"Hmph, no matter what rare species it is! Take it down!" The disheveled old man, fueled by the hatred of his sect's destruction, roared and grabbed at the vicious dog with a golden palm.
Seeing the golden palm, the vicious dog was terrified and wanted to run.
But it soon discovered that although the palm looked terrifying, it didn't feel anything when it landed on him.
With a slight struggle, the golden palm exploded into pieces, leaving all the cultivators present dumbfounded.
"What? Pure physical strength?"
"This must be an ancient, rare species. Fortunately, he hasn't cultivated. Hmph... let me try!"
Another immortal's eyes lit up. He threw out a magical artifact, intending to capture the vicious dog.
The vicious dog barked in fear a few times, which caused the magical artifact to fly erratically and then crack.
The tens of thousands of cultivators were not surprised but delighted. They immediately unleashed their various techniques, and countless mysterious lights and bizarre magical artifacts were hurled at the vicious dog.
However, at this moment, the vicious dog had already realized that these things were just for show. They looked scary, but in reality, it had nothing to fear.
What terrifying monsters and dazzling weapons were all things it could shatter with a casual swipe.
The vicious dog leaped fiercely, moving so fast it was like a black streak crashing into the crowd.
In an instant, hundreds of cultivators' physical bodies shattered, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
With a single swipe of its claws, a rogue immortal perished; with a bite of its fangs, even their primordial spirits could be chewed up.
Its ferocity was simply tyrannical!
In just a few breaths, of the tens of thousands of cultivators, only a handful remained. The previously disheveled old man had also met a violent end.
"Vile beast, stop!"
Soon, another old man in green, his robes fluttering, arrived at high speed.
Survivors immediately recognized him: "Old Immortal in Green! Quick! Save us!"
The Old Immortal in Green was the universally acknowledged strongest person of the current era, the foremost rogue immortal on land.
He flicked his hand, unleashing a sword strike. The sword light stretched for thousands of meters, striking the vicious dog.
However, not a single hair on the vicious dog fell. It had become even more frenzied, finding this extremely interesting and fun.
"Boom!"
The rampaging vicious dog was too fast to dodge. The so-called foremost Old Immortal in Green exploded on the spot, his remains vanishing without a trace.
Only a wisp of his primordial spirit escaped, fleeing in panic.
A token, inscribed with the words "Heaven and Earth," emerged from the Old Immortal in Green's primordial spirit, shining brightly.
Immediately, a divine might descended. Golden clouds filled the sky, vaguely revealing magnificent jade palaces, causing countless people to prostrate themselves.
"Is that a projection of the Immortal Realm?"
"Did the Old Immortal in Green call for help from a powerful being in the Immortal Realm?"
"Haha! With a true immortal intervening, let's see how this ferocious beast..."
Before the onlookers could finish speaking, a radiant immortal descended from the golden clouds, his expression indifferent.
Clearly, this immortal was the one the Old Immortal in Green had invited at a tremendous cost.
The radiant immortal spoke, "Just for this black dog... you used the token, Old Immortal in Green? Hmph, the mortal realm is just the mortal realm..."
"Pfft!"
Before his words were even finished, countless people on the ground looking up witnessed a horrifying scene.
The black dog shot straight into the sky, breaking through dozens of layers of golden light defenses. With a single claw strike to the true immortal's forehead, its immortal spiritual body instantly exploded. The true immortal, without even a chance to react, perished.
Countless cultivators felt their hair stand on end, their cultivation unstable!
"Impossible! What exactly is this dog?!"
"A peerless ferocious beast?"
