Within this, the Dream Lock was, from Zhao Cheng's current perspective, an extraordinarily profound thing. Though called a lock, it was in fact an amplifier and a stabilizer.
Its purpose was to turn the ethereal power of the mind into a force capable of interfering with the world.

But that did not mean the power of the mind was weak.
It was like the difference between a robot's intelligent system and its power system. You could not say that an intelligent system was useless simply because it lacked brute force. In truth, the intelligent system was the core.
The existence of the Mind Lock was to stabilize the power of the mind, thereby granting formidable control over "power."
In Dream Space, that meant the degree to which one developed their enhancements.
And the essence of enhancements, no matter what kind, came from the same source.
Zhao Cheng was very interested in the Dream Lock's technology, but his research had not gone smoothly.
As for Dream Space, Zhao Cheng currently had no intention of exploring it. He was not strong enough yet. He would leave Dream Space alone for now and study it once he was strong enough in the future.
Zhao Cheng had not blindly swelled with confidence. He had a clear understanding of himself—what he could do, and what he temporarily could not do. He knew it all perfectly well.
Beyond that, Zhao Cheng's greatest gain from the many Dreamers was not actually the Dream Lock, but rather certain legends widely circulated throughout Dream Space.
Their subject was the origin of Dream Space.
