As Altair finished breakfast and was wiping her mouth with a napkin, Adam appeared and sat opposite her.

Seeing this, Altair was momentarily stunned, then asked in surprise, "Um... have you eaten? Want some?"

Adam glanced at what she was pointing to, then shook his head and politely replied, "I've already used it, thank you."

After saying this, he handed over the Traveler's Bag.

Altair then took the bag and, in front of him, opened it and poured out the materials inside.

There were: metals, gems, scales, blood vials from various extraordinary creatures, and finally, a book of contracts gleaming with golden light and a tail feather from a "human-headed harpy."

After looking at the items, Altair casually said, "Thank you."

Adam smiled, nodded, and replied, "It was nothing."

"Once you have advanced to the Dreamwalker level, you will need to break the contract with the Headless Bird Demon, freeing it and allowing it to leave this place and return to its rightful home."

Upon hearing this, Altair nodded, and perhaps out of curiosity, she casually asked, "Are these resources from the Psychology Alchemists?"

"Are the human-headed bird demons of the Spirit Realm all bound to contracts and controlled by them?"

"Yes," Adam explained with a smile, "Nothing is absolute, but most things are already agreed upon."

"If you want to cultivate Spectator subordinates in the future, when you use the human-headed harpy again, you can rely on your High Status to forcibly help her pass the promotion ceremony."

"The Advancement Ritual for ' Dreamwalker,' which involves contracting a human-headed harpy, is essentially to gain the trait of remaining conscious within dreams."

"This won't be difficult for you in the future."

Altair nodded, then recalled that "when Audrey advanced to the Dreamwalker level in the future, she relied on Klein's protection, using the Card of Blasphemy, to forcibly advance."

"Since he can do it, there's no reason why I can't. It seems I still need a Card of Blasphemy."

Just as Altair finished thinking, he looked up, intending to ask Adam if he had any clues about the Card of Blasphemy, only to find that He had already left.

Seeing this, Altair couldn't help but complain, "Are you really busy, or do you just not want to give it to me?"

That evening, in the dead of night, Altair and Vivian suddenly awoke from their deep sleep in their bedroom.

Vivian glanced at Altair, then left the bedroom and went to the doorway, where she waited and became wary.

At this point, Altair had already fulfilled the prerequisite for advancing to the Dreamwalker level: completing a contract with the human-headed harpy.

However, due to the word "dream," she was not in a hurry to advance during the day.

But now, upon reflection, she realizes she made a foolish mistake, because the "Dreamwalker" Advancement Ritual did not explicitly require it to be held in the evening.

After taking out the Beyonder Characteristic of "Dreamwalker," along with the corresponding auxiliary materials and the utensils for mixing Potion, Altair skillfully began to concoct the Potion.

Main material: Dreamwalker's "Beyonder Characteristic" is a cloud of grayish-white mist, like a gathering of dreams.

Additional materials: 100 ml of blood from an adult Mind Dragon, 3 scales from an adult Mind Dragon, and 1 grayish-white Dragon's Breath Grass.

The Beyonder Characteristic of "Duo, the three leaves of the Tree Dreamwalker" is derived from the "Beyonder Characteristic of the Manipulator" given to her by the White Demoness when she was recruited, and is a product of this extraction.

When she first discovered this characteristic with her Darkless Lance, she praised the Eternal Blazing Sun quite a bit.

Even now, Altair struggles to understand why the Extraordinary Item of the Sun Pathway all praise the Eternal Blazing Sun. Was He simply too narcissistic?

As for the supplementary materials, they came from Adam's gift.

Once the Potion was ready, Altair paused for a few seconds, staring at the liquid dotted with faint gray-white light, before picking up a feather and, in a state of extreme joy, drinking the Potion in one gulp.

After tasting the Potion, Altair looked at the empty beaker in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, the Potion from the Spectator Pathway is as delicious as ever. It's a little sour, a little sweet, a little bitter, a little hallucinatory, and a little stimulating. The taste is unforgettable, just like a Indulgence dream."

Just as Altair finished her exclamation, her mind suddenly went blank for a moment. When she came to, she saw the Evernight outside the window receding rapidly, and dawn suddenly arriving. The Sun and Moon rose and set quickly in the east and west, endlessly rotating.

Perhaps Altair was longing for summer, because outside the window, the snow and withered weeds in the garden gradually melted away, transforming into a vibrant spring scene, with flowers blooming and lush green grass sprouting rapidly.

As Altair reminisced about autumn, the scene before him sped forward, ushering in the harvest season. The apple trees outside his window had already shed their lush summer green, their branches laden with fruit.

At this moment, she seemed to have become the master of this world. With a single thought, the mountains and rivers fell silent; with a single intention, all sounds returned to her heart.

However, Altair was not swayed by this special power, because she knew very well that it was all a dream.

After shaking his head, Altair saw his past life again. He returned to that modern society, busy, humble, praying, and surviving every day.

When his most Affliction side is revealed, his desires also emerge, watching him gradually grow, improve, and eventually live the life he once dreamed of.

After Altair sighed, the scene before her eyes shattered instantly, and the dream she longed for most appeared: a peaceful life with Vivian.

He had long since returned to normal, and the two lived an ordinary life, cooking and eating together, and gradually had their own child.

At this moment, the "Dreamwalker's" Potion completely revealed Altair's most desired dream to her, bewitching and seducing her, gradually immersing her in it. As the scenes that kept appearing before her eyes unfolded, Altair maintained a clear mind, constantly reminding herself: —

I'm leaving. This isn't the real world; it's all a dream, everything is fake.

After shaking his head, Altair returned to normal, looked at Vivian created by the dream, and said, "I'm leaving. Although I like it here, I eventually have to go back to reality."

"Bye now.

The Vivian created in the dream, upon hearing these words, did not try to stop her or say goodbye. She simply smiled, nodded, and then gradually disappeared, leaving the place.
