Turning falsehood into reality

At first glance, Franca noticed that the Star Dream General Store really resembled an antique shop in the Northern Continent, but with much more obvious Mysticism elements.

The only things that clash with this style are the shelves themselves, the phone the Shop Owner is using, and the tablet computer placed in front of him.

"Good morning, Lady. We've come to pick up a letter," Lumian said politely as she approached the Checkout Counter.

The Shop Owner, dressed in a black dress and playing on her phone, pulled a letter from under the Checkout Counter and placed it on Checkout Counter.

"Thank you." Lumian reached out and took the letter, without opening it on the spot.

Franca then pointed to the Brass Book book:

"Lady, may I look through that book?"

"Okay." The Shop Owner, dressed in a black dress, didn't look up, nor did she remind Franca not to damage the antique.

Franca walked briskly to the shelf on the right and picked up the brass-like book.

The cover of this item was cold and hard, and was indeed made of metal.

Franca quickly flipped through it and found that it was still Paper, completely blank.

Nothing special... Franca muttered to herself.

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed lines of text appearing on the blank pages, but these Vocabulary vanished in an instant, so quickly that even the "Witch's" eyesight couldn't capture the specific content.

Am I seeing things? Franca waited patiently for twenty or thirty seconds, and then new words appeared on the Brass Book, but she still couldn't make out a single Vocabulary before the corresponding content disappeared.

In such cases, even afterward, "Dream Divination" cannot help recall the specific scenes.

Something's definitely off... Franca thought to herself, and put the Brass Book back in its original place.

At the same time, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a dark green figure flashing past behind the shelf.

It was a snake with White Feather and small wings!

Franca was startled and instinctively took two steps back, turning her body to the side to remind the Shop Owner:

"Boss, you have snakes in your shop!"

Be careful!

"Don't be afraid." The Shop Owner, dressed in a black dress, raised her head, revealing her beautiful face. "That's my pet."

"I see..." Franca breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Jenna and Anthony, who were wandering around the general store, she followed Lumian out and back into the Gray Car parked nearby, where she used Frost to forcefully lower the high temperature inside the car caused by the sun.

After settling into the driver's seat, Franca frowned slightly and said, "The snake I just saw looked a lot like the Feathered Serpent of the ' Death God ' Pathway, hmm, a smaller, harmless version."

"Could the Shop Owner have kept a Mythical Creature with the ' Death God ' Pathway as a pet?"

A complete Mythical Creature represents the level of Angel!

Lumian opened the letter in his hand and calmly said, "It's not impossible. Apart from those with special items and special connections, at least True God can enter the Dream."

This... we were just dealing with a True God? He even answered my question? Franca was stunned when she saw a person carrying large bags walk up to the driver's seat and knock on the window.

"Is there something you need?" Franca warily, rolling down the car window.

The man was of average appearance, with a smile on his face, and handed what he was holding to Franca:

"Want to buy? The latest Listening Device and Pinhole Camera."

"..." Franca's lips twitched. "Big brother, what you're doing is illegal."

The man tried to continue his sales pitch, but Franca sternly refused.

After closing the car window, Franca started the car, while Lumian checked the Library and began looking up the replies from the Major Arcana, mainly written by the "Magician" Lady.

At this moment, Franca suddenly paused:

"Don't panic. First, check if anyone has planted Listening Device or Pinhole Camera in the car."

With everyone suppressed to Sequence 7, the "Witch '" spirituality and Divination can indeed effectively prevent Mysticism eavesdropping and peeping, but they completely overlooked the scientific aspects!

Lumian and Jenna understood the functions of Listening Device and Pinhole Camera. One relied on her "Hunter's" observation skills to quickly find unusual traces, while the other confirmed the situation through "Magic Mirror Divination" that asked her own spirituality.

"No," Jenna stated the result of her Divination.

"That's good." Franca breathed a sigh of relief. "From now on, we must remember to be wary of scientific methods. Luckily, that guy selling contraband reminded me, otherwise we might have gotten ourselves into trouble because of it! Uh..."

At this point, Franca glanced at the rearview mirror.

She saw the man That One had been selling Listening Device and Pinhole Camera turn the corner at the street corner and disappear at the end of the road.

"Could they be friendly forces? Coming here specifically to warn us?" Franca muttered to herself with a keen sense of awareness.

Lumian paused for a few seconds before saying, "It should be."

"Who could it be?" Franca gazed at the road ahead, her attention now focused more on driving.

Not long after, she parked her car in a roadside parking space diagonally opposite the Police Headquarters.

Lumian created a medium-sized screen out of Frost and displayed the Major Arcana ' replies on this Mirror for easy viewing:

"It has been confirmed that the Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Witch of Despair,' related materials, and Special Mirror World Fragment that you obtained are all genuine."

"Don't get excited yet. This doesn't mean that every Beyonder in the Dream City can extract Beyonder Characteristic. Only those like you who directly enter with their own consciousness can do so."

"In other words, if you die in the Dream City and are affected by the ' Fooling,' your real-world body will also die, releasing Beyonder Characteristic. This feedback to the Dream City will then ' Grafting ' the Beyonder Characteristic onto the recipient, achieving a Fooling effect where the Making the False Real and the real can become fake."

"You should already understand what I mean. The Resurrection female corpse is roughly equivalent to the entry of real consciousness."

"You can ask Ludwig what her name is and what her background is. I'll just give a brief explanation. She was once essentially Celestial Worthy Marionette, and she still is. Don't ask why. Don't ask about high-level matters related to the ' Seer ' and ' Thief ' Pathway. In short, through this connection, through the identity that Mr. ' The Fool ' wove for her in the Dream in his subconscious, she entered this Dream and was given Rebirth by the ' Great Mother,' gaining Humanity and consciousness that is not like that of Marionette."

"Returning to the question of that Beyonder Characteristic, if you use it to concoct Potion and perform Ritual in the Dream City, and ascend to Half-God, your physical body in the real world will also become Half-God. Remember, under the influence of abilities such as ' Fooling,' a false dream may become a real reality, or it may make what you consider real become false."

"Moreover, the Dream City is currently restricted to Sequence 7. The spiritual influence of the Potion and the minimum requirements of the Ritual will also be suppressed to this level. For example, the Plague that originally needed to infect 30,000 people and bring them Pain and Despair may now only need to infect 300 people. Taking a risk at the bottom of the Mushu Hospital might complete the Ritual."

"Did you have a 'This really works?' thought? But I want to tell you that every gift from Destiny comes with a price tag. Advancing to ' Witch of Despair ' in this way has huge hidden dangers. You will need to overcome tremendous difficulties to truly become Sequence 4 Half-God."

"Think about it. In the dream city, the various problems caused by your taking the demigod potion are actually limited to Sequence 7, so they can be endured relatively easily. You can use Sequence 7 level rituals to assist in your advancement. But after leaving the dream and returning to reality, those problems that were suppressed at Sequence 7 will be freed from the deception and instantly return to the Sequence 4 level. At that time, the corresponding person will probably lose control."

"Of course, it's not unsolvable, but it's quite difficult, no simpler than holding a complete Ritual in reality."

"There is only one way we can think of now, which is to completely digest that Sequence 4 Potion before leaving the Dream and before the Dream ends. This digestion will Grafting onto reality, allowing most of the hidden dangers suppressed at the Sequence 7 level to be resolved in advance. When I return to reality, I will be a well-behaved Sequence 4 Half-God. Reality is truly Fooling at this moment."

"The difficulty with this method lies in the fact that you cannot control how long the Dream can last or when you will be locked down by the Celestial Worthy and kicked out. It is fraught with unknown risks, and it is extremely difficult to obtain a good opportunity and enough time to digest the Potion."

Upon seeing this, Franca, Lumian, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, speechless.

Is that even possible?

They originally Acting that by using False Angel-Level and sealed Angel to quickly digest the Potion, they had already reached the limit of exploiting loopholes in the rules. Who knew that after reading through these Vocabulary "Fooling" and "Grafting," they felt that their brains had been Fooling.

It's true that you can actually get promoted in your Dream...

The Potion was Fooling, the Ritual was Fooling, the mind was Fooling, and even the boundary between falsehood and reality was Fooling...

Of course, it's also possible that one has been Fooling, believing they have truly achieved advancement and become Half-God, when in reality they are just suffering from hysteria...

Hahaha, we've all been Fooling! We've all been Fooling! Franca couldn't help but go crazy in her heart.

"Is this the terrifying aspect of the Great Ones?" Jenna took a soft breath.

Lumian chuckled softly:

"Many things that we consider unbreakable and unchangeable may just be playthings of Great Ones."

"I can roll it into a ball if I want, or flatten it if I want..." Franca muttered along.

Through this letter, they truly and tangibly experienced what Great Ones.

They continued reading the letters displayed on the crystal screen:

After reading the preceding section, did you have this thought in mind:

"In the future, after Mr. ' The Fool ' awakens, could we ask him to use similar Dream to help reduce the difficulty of Ritual and advancements, allowing those who need it to become Half-God, and giving them enough time to digest the Potion within their dreams?"

"First, we must be clear that it would be difficult for Mr. The Fool to do this on his own, because such a Real Dream allows the Fooling to confuse the false and the real Dream, which comes from other realms."

"Secondly, not every Half-God can ultimately digest their own Potion. They will live their entire lives in Dream. Moreover, if their Dream cognition is not restored to Sequence 4, their lifespan will be suppressed to the corresponding Low-Sequence. But if their Dream cognition is restored to Sequence 4, the problems hidden within them due to Fooling will erupt again."

"Furthermore, is it really appropriate to cause Mr. ' The Fool ' to Slumber for several years, decades, or even centuries, just to help an Beyonder advance in rank?"

"Finally, many of the Potion ' Acting tend to be evil. If you were to actually create a large-scale Plague in Mr. The Fool's Dream, not only would the Celestial Worthy easily detect it, but Mr. The Fool would be the first to kick you out."

I feel like the "Magician" Lady is subtly criticizing me... I really didn't think of that. This Dream is just like reality, completely unlike a game. How could I possibly have antisocial thoughts? Even if it were a game, I only started acting like a monster after I got tired of playing the normal game... Franca muttered to herself.
