Wizard Incarnation
The golden pebbles were a gift from the River of Wisdom to Lu Li after he left Cinderella's Land of Stars. After the others obtained the equipment and items there, these stones only had commemorative value and could have been thrown away long ago.
However, Lu Li's legendary heart was restored once again, and he could absorb some legendary elements from the golden pebble. So Lu Li took the golden pebble with him, but because the legendary elements were too few, the specific elements did not manifest.
The form that Lu Li condensed this time was purely a combination of shadows, so it needed something to color it, and that's when he thought of these legendary elements.
After these days of accumulation, Lu Li gradually understood the factors that these pebbles conveyed. After Lu Li and Prince William left that Land of Stars, their existence became a legend.
The story is roughly about Cinderella, who was bullied by her Stepmother and stepsisters, and how she became a princess with the help of Hazel Tree and a mysterious wizard, all through Glass Slipper —a beautiful and innocent fairy tale.
The legendary element that Lu Li absorbed was that mysterious wizard. The absorbed element had several aspects: one was the mysterious wizard, so Lu Li, having absorbed this aspect, obtained a hooded, jet-black wizard's robe.
Then there's the wizard's elusive nature; he always manages to appear when Cinderella needs him. This gives Lu Li 'Lu Li stealth ability a strange boost, making his stealth movements more than just a skill, but also imbued with a touch of mystery.
Finally, it was because of that flock of Turtle Dove. Legend has it that a mysterious wizard controlled a flock of birds, so one of the legendary elements that Lu Li received was the ability to control birds.
That factor couldn't directly manifest a flock of Turtle Dove, but it gave Lu Li a bird affinity, and even made Lu Li feel that he could now understand some common bird language.
His true form is now a gigantic shadow; this human body is merely a clone created by incorporating elements from legends. Because the legendary elements are insufficient, it's not even Avatar.
In short, the shadow clone that Lu Li created now resembled a mysterious wizard, wearing a large black wizard's robe that covered his body, and with a hood, his shadowy figure was completely concealed.
As for the original, rather useless white bone and scale robe, Lu Li put it away, thinking it might be repurposed into other props later. Lu Li coughed, adjusted the voice his shadow was mimicking, and finally uttered his first words after the transformation. "Feels pretty good."
Various senses transmit information that humans couldn't see before. The mind is empty, without a brain; everything is processed by the soul. Once you get used to this feeling, it's actually quite good; your reactions are much faster than before.
Previously, it required the brain to transmit information via electrical currents to react, but now all information is transmitted directly to the soul. Under Lu Li's own constructed perception system, both his thinking speed and reaction ability are much faster.
"So you've succeeded," Dark River asked from a distance. "You really succeeded in your rebellion?"
"Say it again?" Lu Li only heard a burst of static. It seemed that the transition had just begun and the processing of sound vibrations was still somewhat inadequate. After adjusting his concentration, he heard Dark River ask the question again.
"Although the other side may have been holding back, they have indeed retreated and their attention to me has mostly disappeared, though some are still there." Lu Li vibrated his vocal cords, instantly feeling a sense of inefficiency.
Then, recalling the Mermaid Princess's telepathic communication and the other methods of information transmission used by the Man of Light and Shadow, he briefly considered it and then vibrated his mental energy to transmit a stream of mental information to the outside world.
The seemingly meaningless murmurs spread through the surrounding air. After slowly exploring for a while, Lu Li finally managed to successfully transmit a stream of information, despite the disdainful look in the Dark River's eyes. The person who received this stream of information felt as if Lu Li was speaking right next to them.
Furthermore, this information flow is extremely efficient. During battle, more than a dozen sentences can be transmitted every second, eliminating the awkward situation of having to stop mid-battle to have a conversation before continuing the fight.
"Let's go, it's getting late, we need to hurry up and finish the dungeon quest." Lu Li was getting used to his current Shadow Body. Now that he had almost resolved his personal issues, he could focus on completing the dungeon quest.
The reason Lu Li could only stay in this world for seven days in the past was because his Dreamlands was still there absorbing resources. His entry was considered illegal, so he was naturally sent back when the time was up.
The reason why the Dreamlands was lying on this large Dreamlands to absorb energy was mainly because Lu Li's Dreamlands was malnourished. The dream energy it absorbed came from the low-level dreams of Theseus members. Although it could be used, it was still quite different from the energy of a real Dreamlands.
This time, Lu Li's split soul merged with the Dreamlands, and he also absorbed some of the energy from the real Dreamlands, finally allowing the Dreamlands to truly grow completely. In addition to its original Shadow Enhancement ability, the Original Sin Domain ability was also fully replenished, and three more rules were added.
One: Any creature infected by Lu Li 'Dreamlands will have a venomous scorpion of Hatred begin to grow in its heart if it harbors Hatred. This scorpion will reside in the person's heart and manipulate their behavior through Hatred.
Second: Those with Destruction desire will be empowered by the Dreamlands, overdrawing their potential to unleash terrifying power, ultimately self-destructing and dying. Their souls will be imprisoned by the Dreamlands, transforming into a beast of Destruction.
Third: Under the influence of Lu Li's Dreamlands, a curse-like fear will spread. Eventually, the fear will be like Madness Curse, drawing out the dark side and devouring the main body in reverse. However, unlike Lu Li's Madness Curse, those who are devoured by the fear will transform into an unknown thing. The specific effects will only be known after an experiment.
Forcing his own Dreamlands to shrink, ceasing to absorb energy from Dreamlands and returning to the unknown, Lu Li followed the frequency of the other's Dreamlands and entered that Dreamlands once more, returning to the cliff.
Because the method of entering the Dreamlands was correct this time, I can stay in this world for a long time. I will return to my own Dreamlands in less than one to seven days.
Looking at this forest, there are many experimental plans that have been scheduled for a long time to begin. In addition, I need to find a way to break through this Dreamlands and enter the real world to complete the task of the River of Wisdom, so that I can finish this dungeon and return to the main world.
"Huh?" Lu Li turned around, his senses telling him that something was approaching...
