The Nature of Dreams

When Qin Yiguan returned to the Metaverse.

They discovered that Lu Zhoulang was standing respectfully to one side with two students.

You are the real hero.

Lu Zhoulang nodded slightly, and the two students behind him also nodded slightly.

Qin Yiguan chuckled, "I've never paid any attention to his conspiracy to dominate the world. All I want is simple revenge."

Lu Zhoulang's injuries originated from a dream, and under Qin Yiguan's subtle manipulation, he had already fully recovered.

At this moment, he hesitated before speaking, then said, "Now I understand that the Lu Zhoulang has been living in a beautiful dream all along. Mr. Qin, I really want to ask, am I also living in a dream?"

"And me."

But then Bishamonten took a small step forward and asked, "Am I also living in a dream?"

Qin Yiguan looked realistically at Lu Zhoulang, "If you can always uphold your sense of justice, then this dream will never end. But if you, like your younger brother, go astray, then this dream could shatter at any moment."

The Lu Zhoulang looked stern.

Once, Lu Zhoulang did indeed secretly comfort Dream General every day, and they were truly friends. Qin Yiguan remembered this favor.

"The Virtual Machine is Lu Zhoulang's true invention; you can continue to use it in the future."

Qin Yiguan looked up at the enormous figure above Lu Zhoulang's head, "But this Dream General... I must take it back."

In that instant.

The enormous "Higher Self" left behind by the Lu Zhoulang, and the enormous "Higher Self" above the head of the Lu Zhoulang.

Each of the two 'sleeping children' had a clock floating on their shoulder. Suddenly, the hands of the clocks began to turn, from 'sleep' to 'awaken'. At the same moment, the two children slowly opened their eyes. One looked at the virtual corpse of Lu Zhoulang with hatred, while the other looked at Lu Zhoulang with gratitude.

But in just a few seconds, the two enormous "Higher Self" turned into smoke and vanished into the world.

It goes without saying that Qin Yiguan is the true controller of the Dream General.

now.

Qin Yiguan slowly turned around, looked at Bishamonten, and remained silent for a moment.

A hint of unease suddenly appeared on Bishamonten's face.

Suddenly, the boy shrugged and smiled, "What you experienced wasn't a dream."

Whether Bishamonten had a premonition or had discovered some clue in the past, she asked with some disbelief, "Really?"

Qin Yiguan looked at her strangely, "Do I know you? Did I know you before? Me, a dignified ' Higher Self ' Dream General, with nothing better to do than create dreams for strangers every day? And why did it have to be you? Are you dreaming?"

Bishamonten was momentarily speechless, her beautiful grey eyes fixed on Qin Yiguan. "Why... I feel like I've seen you when I was a child?"

The boy looked up and said, "Don't try to get close to me, I don't like your type."

That's all.

Qin Yiguan slowly turned his head, a smile appearing on his lips.

When the Dream General created for Bishamonten, it completely overwrote her childhood memories, so she wouldn't remember anything about the Ring Research Institute.

This is also why Qin Yiguan was able to see Bishamonten's memories in the ' Virtual Machine ', because those memories were originally created by the Dream General.

Bishamonten herself had forgotten her dark childhood experiences, so it was as if they never happened.

Lu Zhoulang had arrived in front of the huge 'telescope'. He stared at it solemnly for a moment, then activated the Virtual Machine inside his watch, creating all sorts of engineering machinery. He disassembled the telescope into countless tiny parts, and then burned and melted those parts.

He was still that Lu Zhoulang with a heroic dream in his heart, silently destroying this instrument that could have overturned the world.

Qin Yiguan also looked up at the empty space in mid-air.

He knows the existence of the Gemini Loophole, but he cannot see it.

I carefully recalled the research on dreams by the Lu Zhoulang.

The vast majority are correct.

Dreams are a release of repression, which is why we have dreams of being a hero, a strong person, or a scientist, and these dreams vary from person to person.

Dreams are loopholes in the virtual world, just like the unseen and intangible Gemini Loophole. They truly exist and are created by the sharp point of one's own consciousness.

As for the third theory...

Are dreams the reality of parallel universes?

Qin Yiguan tilted his head. "That's a bit impossible to verify."

Just as Jiaolong described, there is more than one Gemini Metaverse.

Instead, there are countless.

They are stacked like layers of a mille-feuille, parallel to each other.

Each one is elliptical in shape, but some universes are only slightly larger than the diameter of the Earth, while others are the same size as the vast physical universe, spanning 13.7 billion light-years.

From a distance, these universes appear like layers of luminous flakes, floating silently against a deep background—mysterious, magnificent, and breathtaking.

Qin Yiguan was right; the Gemini Superbrain are at a level that humans cannot reach.

But in reality, even Qin Yiguan himself had no concept of just how high the so-called height of the Gemini Metaverse actually was.

The inhabitants of the same universe as Qin Yiguan will never know that the continent they could never leave, even if they spent their entire lives, was merely the tip of the iceberg in the vast Gemini universes.

SZ-024 Parallel Universe.

It is one of countless parallel universes, so its general logic is similar to that of the Earth where Qin Yiguan is located. However, if you look closely at the details, you will find many absurd and bizarre differences.

Here too, there is a blue Earth, and eight hundred thousand suns.

Moreover, these suns are very close to Earth, all floating in outer space at an altitude of 400,000 to 500,000 kilometers, and are even confused with the moon. The moon's surface reflects sunlight from all directions, so when people look up here, they cannot distinguish between the Sun and Moon at all.

Fortunately, these suns are all very small, some with a diameter of only a few hundred meters, and the heat and light they emit are greatly reduced with their size.

This is equivalent to shrinking or scattering the sun.

Despite their proximity and large numbers, people were still able to live normally.

The technology here is also very advanced; some people can even hollow out the sun in the sky and turn it into their own flight base.

Boom!

A sun crashes onto the Earth's surface, its hatch opens, and thousands of bio-engineered warriors clad in green biological armor burst forth from within the sun.

They quickly surrounded a white, spherical building.

Following their commander's orders, they were to surround and kill a young man dressed in black inside the building.

"Target locked."

"There are three people inside the building. The life form located at coordinates 24526/4214 is the target for this kill."

"Soldier ID 35732, you are assigned to carry out the kill mission!"

A tall figure clad in green armor stood out from the crowd and, with incredible agility and speed, rushed into the white, spherical building.

He discovered that his target was standing in the room, lost in thought, completely unprepared.

Pfft!

Soldier number 35732's armored arm pierced through the target's chest, gripped his heart, and then crushed it!

The assassination target instantly turned pale and collapsed backward!

Bang!

Without any pause, soldier number 35732's head was struck by a laser beam, exploding into a bloody mess.

The person who fired the shot was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, with messy hair and wearing a tattered white coat.

Outside the door.

Two rows of bio-engineered soldiers stood straight.

The commander arrived in person.

The commander was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and his head was five times the size of an average person's. It was supported by a set of sophisticated mechanical braces attached to his shoulders. Without these braces, he probably wouldn't even be able to walk.

The commander was wearing a dark green military uniform with the three letters AKI printed on his chest.

He walked into the room, slowly took off his bio-gloves, and squinted at the corpses on the ground.

"Um..."

"The Qin Yiguan of this parallel universe... is utterly vulnerable and cannot quell my hatred at all!"

Immediately.

The commander looked at the other two people inside the room.

A crazy old man in a white coat, and a handsome blond man with gold-rimmed glasses.

The commander showed a hint of boredom and waved his hand lightly, "Kill them all."

"Don't even think about it!"

"You evil alien invaders!"

But then the old man in the white coat shouted, "Virtual Machine activated! Grand Unified Hua Force activated! Zero-Point Energy activated! Particle Light Spear activated! All units, pay attention..."

The Big Head commander, who had already turned around, paused slightly in surprise.

He then slowly turned around, looking at the old man with a hint of sarcasm, "Virtual Machine, unification, Zero-Point Energy, Particle Light Spear... tsk tsk, what outdated technology!"
