When Gilan saw this, he understood what the words written by the hermit Rembrandt in his diary in the movie <Black Lake> really meant.
Wow...
He turned to the next page.
"Here, I borrow my words from another work <Celestial Palace Documents> to explain to you the secret of entering the first level of 'Kingdom'--"
"Lucid dreams are soul profiles, dyed spirituality is the iron of enlightenment. Only by lowering the flag with the brand can one break free from the cage and declare the name of the Mind Kingdom."
Gilan couldn't understand this profound sentence, but fortunately the author Shadai thoughtfully left detailed notes.
She pointed out that only when Gnosis reaches a certain level, can you become aware of your own inner world and appear in the form of lucid dreams.
Lucid dreaming, also known as lucid dreaming.
It means that the dreamer is consciously aware that he is in a dream and can control his own behavior and even the changes in his dream.
Dreams are reflections of reality and profiles of the soul.
This is why some people occasionally have lucid dreams, because their Gnosis is naturally very high, but they don't know it, and they don't know how to use this talent.
With Gilan and now Gnosis, with a little training, you can freely control lucid dreaming.
And this is just the premise.
"I believe that when you, the reader, can understand my handwriting, you can also sense the cosmic elements floating in the air... Yes, those four kinds of particles emitting different colors."
"Now, you need to accept them with your heart, and they will be selectively integrated into it according to your spirituality."
The "spirituality" here is annotated as "the breath in the gap between the soul and the body."
It is like a special glue, just like there are no identical leaves in the world, everyone's spirituality is different.
"When your spirituality is dyed by the elements, you can emerge from the 'dream island' in your lucid dream, put your mark on the island, and build your own 'Kingdom'."
"At this point, you will officially step into 'Path of the Flaming Sword'."
Gilan Read these words several times and memorize them in your mind.
Among them, the author Shadai also has some reminders.
She said that the mysterious creations and rituals of the three major schools can only be used by Spirit Mystic who established "Mind Kingdom". If a mortal comes into contact rashly, it is likely to cause a fragile spiritual collapse or even death.
The external manifestations are vegetative state, dementia or madness.
These are all caused by spiritual damage and the lack of this unique "glue", which makes the soul and body no longer fit together.
Snap.
Gilan closed the red leather sticker and couldn't wait to start trying.
He closed his eyes and simply used Gnosis to sense the floating particles around him.
Just like meditating, let your mind go and try to accept it.
Not long after.
Gilan then "saw" the scarlet light spots floating towards him one by one, as if he smelled something among the particles flashing with four-color light.
After first touching his skin like a "test", they fell like rain one by one, penetrated into his body and disappeared.
Gilan understands clearly in his heart.
'It is the fire element that represents "spring" and "sword". My spiritual color should be red.'
The process of accepting the fire element lasted for nearly an hour.
It was raining heavily outside, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
Finally, Gilan felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. He knew that his spiritual dyeing process had been initially completed.
'The next step is to pull up the island in the dream, then put down the brand, and establish Kingdom.'
Gilan took a deep breath and slowly lay on the bed.
I don't know whether it was because of fatigue or because Gnosis was high enough, but Gilan easily controlled his body to fall asleep.
In a daze, he found himself over the ocean at night.
The ocean was deep black and calm.
The surroundings were endless, nothing, dead silence and emptiness.
According to Shadai Balbina, this place is "Dream Ocean", which can also be called the "ocean of consciousness".
Deep in their souls, all human beings have an imperceptible common consciousness that transcends individuality. This is their collective consciousness as a species.
This dark side of consciousness, that is, the "emotional water", merges into this Dream Ocean.
Only by building your own island here can you establish an independent mind that will not be easily disturbed by mysterious and unknown forces.
Only by placing a mark on the island and establishing Kingdom can the spirituality be stable and not shaken by external factors.
Gilan looked down at the sea, raised his hand, and found that his palms and arms were glowing with scarlet light, as if they were the only source of light in this darkness.
"Get up!" He spread his fingers and pointed at the sea below.
Wow...
The dead sea surface suddenly surged.
The black sea water splashed, and a small island of less than a hundred square meters slowly emerged and emerged on the sea surface.
Gilan then felt a strong sense of confidence from the bottom of his heart.
This confidence comes inexplicably and appears along with the island.
He was refreshed, leaned down, and immediately landed lightly on the island.
"Brand." Gilan followed the method recorded in the secret record, walked to the center of the island, squatted down, and put his palms on the ground.
Ugh!
Suddenly, a wisp of fire ignited in his palm and touched the ground.
Then a fire burned on the ground.
The fire grew stronger and turned into a bonfire.
Perhaps this was Gilan's lucid dream. In order to comply with his understanding, twelve pieces of firewood appeared out of thin air under the bonfire, arranged in a circle like the hands of a clock dial.
"From now on, this will be my Gilan·Iros's 'Mind Kingdom'."
He took a deep breath and raised his right hand high.
At the same time, fantasy arises instinctively in the heart, and the object of fantasy is the cross sword hand-painted by Shadai Balbina, the author of the secret book!
The next moment, a simple cross sword appeared in his hand!
"I declare, in the name of the Kingdom--"
"Lordran·Drangleic·Lothric!"
Clang!!
Gilan inserted the cross sword straight into the bonfire, only to hear a crackling sound, and the brand fire burned along the sword's body.
The fire suddenly became so powerful that it illuminated the entire island.
Gilan felt a sense of stability, comfort and security in his heart.
He looked around at the "Mind Kingdom" he had just built. Although there was only a bonfire at the moment, he believed that as he climbed Origin Rank on "Path of the Flaming Sword", it would gradually grow until it became a majestic royal city.
As for the name Kingdom, he blurted it out.
Because in his previous life when he was Game Streamer, the name of the three royal cities in the trilogy of a certain series Game that impressed him most deeply was this.
Lordran, the place where the first fire started its pilgrimage.
Drangleic, the place of endless reincarnation where original sin sighs.
Lothric, the final place of Ashes inheritance mission.
This is consistent with a certain belief in Gilan's heart.
'Now, I have officially ascended to the first level of "Kingdom" Origin Rank and become a "Spirit Mystic".'
Gilan smile.
He closed his eyes and controlled the end of this lucid dream.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the bed.
It was still raining heavily outside, but he quietly transformed.
