Chen Ji soared upwards, his spirit body free from all ties, breaking free from Earth's gravity and bursting directly out of the atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye.

And so we arrived at the legendary Astral Realm!

Countless magnificent celestial bodies and colorful, mysterious bubbles floated in space outside Earth, resembling a miniature Multiverse.

Within each bubble, scenes are unfolding, including films, fantasy dramas, and even elements of anime...

This is a manifestation of collective human consciousness.

All intelligent life, without even realizing it, unleashes its imagination.

And imagination is also weaving the Astral Realm, making Astral Realm constantly changing.

Inspiration, creativity, fantasy...

This led to the formation of a specific Small Universe, or worldview, which was encased in a dimensional barrier.

Like balloons, they are connected to the Earth and also floating into space.

The balloons in front of us, some large and some small, are colliding and merging with each other.

Like the universe, it is constantly arising and ceasing, representing the withering of imagination and the end of inspiration.

Nothing lasts forever.

Unless...

Ideas that have transcended the river of time in the real world and withstood the test of time are passed down through books, which in turn will create a fantasy world!

For example, the four great classical novels popular in the East, through generations of accumulation, have formed a vast space, placing them above all other forms of imagination.

By probing it with your spiritual senses, you can see the magnificent scene of the mighty Yangtze River flowing eastward, its waves washing away the heroes of the past, crashing down upon you!

In another fantastical realm, the figures of the pilgrims are depicted, enduring eighty-one trials on their journey to the West.

This stems from the emergence of collective human consciousness.

Everything within the fantasy world is incredibly similar to the real world, and the fantastical creatures within it possess extraordinary abilities.

Certainly.

Once outside the fantasy space and into the Astral Realm dimension, this power will be greatly weakened and suppressed by the Astral Realm rules!

After all, the Astral Realm is not an unclaimed space, but belongs to the Goddess of Light, Osyht!

Osyht.

This Primordial Gods, through collective consciousness, inspiration, and creativity, drew immense power, but also bound fantastical creatures.

In theory, she can control all fantastical creatures.

They can even easily annihilate and arbitrarily destroy fantasy worlds.

She is the Creator of the Astral Realm!

"Osyht ..."

"Forming Trinity God wasn't enough; they're even stealing the power of collective consciousness..."

"What if Osyht turns evil?"

"Humanity will likely be wiped out in an instant."

Chen Ji's eyes showed worry.

Admittedly, after witnessing the true Astral Realm, Chen Ji felt utterly helpless. Who could defeat a creature born of mere imagination?

As long as human consciousness persists, imagination will never cease, and imaginary creatures will be endless!

Furthermore, Chen Ji had read "The Ironbound Book of the Eye Demon," which also recorded various summoning spells.

This also includes rituals for summoning fantasy creatures!

Certainly.

This will be uncontrollable; the fantastical creatures have their own will and will not obey anyone's orders, acting only according to their 'personality'.

The concept of 'personality' originates from the Astral Realm.

If handled improperly, even imaginary creatures with physical forms can cause catastrophic consequences, with one mistake affecting the whole situation.

Therefore, from this perspective, Osyht's creation of the Astral Realm to restrain the actions of fantastical creatures was not entirely without its benefits.

Only by letting reality be reality and fantasy be fantasy can we ensure the smooth operation of Infinite Multiverse.

Otherwise, Artificial Concept could give rise to all sorts of bizarre deities.

God of Technology, God of Cars, God of AI, God of Beauty, God of E-commerce...

Everything can become a god.

"Um?"

"How can my presence be felt in this space?"

Chen Ji glanced at them.

In the distance, I saw a small balloon with figures moving inside it.

It actually emitted a similar aura!

Chen Ji was puzzled, so he leaped into the space.

In the space, there was an indescribable, enormous, and ferocious blood-red dragon shadow, coiled into a stone statue, standing silently in mid-air.

This is the scene.

This immediately gave Chen Ji a jolt.

"This is..."

"Shendu?!"

"The little story I made up in the Midgard has actually been given form by the Astral Realm?"

Chen Ji looked surprised.

Looking at this dragon sculpture, one notices subtle differences between it and the image of the Shendu in one's mind.

There was no trace of intelligence about it.

Seem...

It's still an inanimate object.

However, the twelve rhomboid grooves on the surface correspond precisely to the Twelve Talismans.

Its shape is almost like a dragon, extremely realistic, with an eerie and ferocious aura.

Through this dragon sculpture, one can perceive the source of collective consciousness.

It includes the Midnight Sons and Emilia, as well as the Ten Rings Gang and the Vampire...

Clearly, the concept of the Twelve Talismans was being spread by more and more beings without his knowledge.

Based on collective consciousness, the Shendu also appeared in the Astral Realm, appearing in the form of a statue!

Doesn't that mean that, as time goes by, the story he fabricated will actually become reality, and he will create Shendu in the Astral Realm?

And... the other seven great demons?

And the best medium for spreading stories is undoubtedly books!

He knew what kind of book he should create.

The Spell Compendium!

The setting of this book, "The Spell Compendium," also comes from the world of Uncle Long's Adventures.

The cover is printed with the mark of the Shadow Demon King Tara.

But he could erase the mark, replace it with the mark of the Shendu, and adapt it into the work of the Shendu.

"This fantasy space was created because of me, and it seems I can control it..."

"If I were to give the Shendu a physical form, would the battles he instigated in the real world also affect me?"

Chen Ji's eyes lit up.

He immediately released a burst of magic and began to refine the outline of the dragon sculpture, making its shape closer to the Shendu and its body more detailed.

Furthermore, he can use blood to create a real body for the Shendu, making the Fire Demon no longer just a legend, but a real demon!

Since the Twelve Talismans can provide him with Luck Value, then the Shendu, this fantastical being, must also be able to provide a return!

And he hardly needs to consume anything.

All you need to do is continue making talismans and spreading the story of Shendu!

Chen Ji secretly looked forward to it.

When will the story he fabricated become reality?

Suddenly.

He also realized the true nature of the Astral Realm: Astral Realm is not a dwelling place for souls, but rather...

The source of all souls!

The various fantastical creatures created by collective consciousness are themselves manifestations of alternative souls.

Harmless creatures appearing in the fantasy world can also be released to Earth by Osyht, forming a perfect cycle.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why, while the Demon Lord and Dimension Demon God were ruthlessly exploiting the masses, Earth's population was actually increasing significantly!

Consciousness creates the soul, and the soul creates life.

After Chen Ji figured this out, he immediately felt a mysterious power surging towards him!

Seem...

This is the Astral Power!

The power of imagination generated by collective consciousness!

But it wasn't bestowed by the Astral Realm; it came from this Holy Shendu!

Shendu.

It was as if he had created a projection avatar in the Astral Realm, which actually transmitted a trace of mysterious power, allowing him to resonate with the Astral Realm and establish Soul Contract!

"That's really great!"

"The Astral Power comes from creativity and inspiration, and exists solely within the realm of fantasy."

"It seems I can summon the Shendu into the real world..."

A hint of joy appeared on Chen Ji's face.

Open your palm.

Immediately, a halo resembling a ball of yarn appeared.

This ball of yarn connects intelligent life, Emilia, the Midnight Sons, the Ten Rings Gang, Vampire...

Because of these lives, the story became a fantasy, and it was given a fantastical form.

Furthermore, through the ritual recorded in the "Eye Demon Ironhide Book," he could completely control the Shendu and summon Shendu to the real world.

However, this does not guarantee that everything will go smoothly.

A conventional dispelling spell could potentially dispel Shendu.

Because, in essence, this is a summoning spell.

Unless...

Chen Ji had prepared the vessel to hold the Shendu in advance during the summoning ceremony.

His blood factors are undoubtedly the best choice!

Blood.

If Chen Ji's will were to be used to create a sculpture, it would merely be a sculpture, lacking any 'soul'.

However, when combined with Astral Summoning Art, things change completely.

Furthermore, as time goes by, the Shendu will exist permanently in reality, becoming a real and authentic life!

Through this ball of yarn, Chen Ji could also sense the whereabouts of the Midnight Sons silhouette.

Even the words and actions of Vampire can be projected onto him.

At the same time.

Chen Ji stood in the fantasy space and could clearly sense that as the name of the Shendu spread, his body was becoming more and more like a physical entity.

It's as if wisdom could appear at any moment.

"It seems..."

"I need to finalize the story of the Shendu as soon as possible."

"Create the Spell Compendium."

Chen Ji nodded secretly.

This trip was incredibly rewarding!

He touched upon the essence of the Astral Realm and understood the power of inspiration and creativity.

Then, he couldn't help but wonder if the various works created on the TikTok platform after its launch would also influence the Astral Realm.

Transfer the Astral Power to him?

"Don't even think about it."

"Osyht ..."

"How could we just stand by and watch this happen?"

Chen Ji smiled and shook his head.

He then exited the fantasy space and flew back to the Vought Tower.

The unity of body and soul.

His eyes snapped open.

Even after returning to the real world, he could still perceive his connection with the Astral Realm and mobilize its Astral Power!

This made him feel a sense of wonder.

"Osyht ..."

"They didn't even show up, so they're here to cause me trouble?"

"Could it be because I am Mystic Arts Mage?"

"She doesn't care at all?"

Chen Ji raised an eyebrow.

He was trying to figure out what an Ancient Gods was thinking!

But it's very likely to be true.

After all, the Goddess of Light Osyht, is not only the lord of the Astral Realm, but also a member of the Vishanti.

As Trinity God, her power has long surpassed that of Dimension Lord and is above that of the Cosmic Celestial.

She is also the mortal enemy of the Eye Demon and the Chthon.

Kamar-Taj.

The reason it has been able to survive from the Prehistoric Mythological Era to the present day is not because of the First Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto, but because of this Osyht!

"Trinity..."

How can I achieve the Trinity?

"Wanda's Chaos Magic, Jean's Phoenix Force..."

"If you form a triune alliance with me, then I will... surpass even the Celestials!"

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

The simplest way is undoubtedly to follow the trend and pay homage!

Since Osyht, Hoggoth, and Agamotto can form Trinity God.

Therefore, he, along with the host of Chaos Magic and the host of Phoenix Force, could form Trinity God.

The key issue lies in the opinions of Qin and Wanda.

Wanda is alright...

It's a zither...

An evil personality lurks within him.

Prone to rampages and loss of control, this isn't a trinity, it's a quadrilateral...

So, who can replace this position?

Chen Ji pondered silently.

There are no other candidates at the moment.

However, he had already begun writing, and traces of blood seeped from his palms. A large amount of blood had been drawn from him, directly shaping it into a book.

This book is as brilliant as crystal, with a blood-red texture and an eerie hue. It is as solid as jade, yet feels as light as a feather, and contains immense magical power.

The cover features a ferocious pattern.

Chen Ji originally intended to shape this pattern into the image of Shendu, but after a moment's thought, he decisively abandoned the idea!

He could easily use this "Complete Book of Spell Compendium" to summon another demonic force—

The Shadow Army!

Perhaps within the Astral Realm dimension, an even more Shadow Kingdom could manifest, allowing Shadow Soldiers to truly appear!

It can even be projected into the real world in the form of a mirage!

From illusion to reality...!

The significance of his actions was undoubtedly to plunder the Luck Value and trigger a major turning point in the world's destiny.

"Mask..."

"Isn't my Joker Mask a mask too?"

Chen Ji smiled.

Shadow Masks.

There are ten versions in the world of Uncle Long's Adventures.

It seals the souls of the Shadow Demon King Tara and nine mummy generals.

Whoever dons the Shadow Masks will possess power comparable to the Shadow Generals, and can summon obedient Shadow Soldiers!

He can create the Shadow Masks, though.

However, for the mask to possess a 'soul,' that requires the collective consciousness of humanity!
