Just as Cheng Yuxin said, this Dream Entry Cultivation Method is not simple.
Even Ling Yi was unaware that this cultivation technique was far more powerful than he had imagined.
In Ling Yi's setting, the purpose of creating this technique is to Dream Creation and control dreams.
But how easy is it for an ordinary person to control their dreams?
This is not dreaming while sleeping, but rather a purposeful Dream Entry.
The consumption of Divine Power and personal energy will become terrifying.
Therefore, the first thing this Dream Entry Cultivation Method needs to strengthen is Divine Power and improve concentration, followed by physical enhancement, brain development, and changes in energy intake methods, etc.
As Ling Yi adjusted his rhythm according to the breathing techniques described in the cultivation method, he slowly entered a mysterious, half-awake state.
This state lasted for about ten seconds, then Ling Yi felt everything go black, and the next moment, he found himself on the top of a building.
The world that came into his view was a distorted and upside-down world.
The sky was Cutting and overlapped with the chaotic buildings.
To the side is a vertical lake, at the top is an inverted stadium, and to the right front is a residential building tilted at a 60-degree angle.
It's like... the Mirror Dimension world in Kamar-Taj Magic, or the distorted world in Inception.
At the far end of the sky, there stands a tilted Heavenly Palace, and beside Heavenly Palace, a floating island...
Ling Yi was dumbfounded. When he was cultivating the Dream Entry Cultivation Method, he imagined what the Ling Realm would look like, but this place was clearly not the Ling Realm.
Just then, a Houzi wearing a golden chainmail swept through the air and then clashed with another burly man in the distance, who had a red cesium "S" symbol painted on his chest and wore a red cesium cloak.
" Son Goku versus Superman?" Ling Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
At that moment, a slender figure suddenly jumped out from an inverted city that looked like a mirage above Ling Yi's head.
With a somersault in mid-air, it landed right in front of Ling Yi.
The girl had a full head of white hair, a brush-like style, wore a black eye patch and a black bodysuit, and held a crimson long-handled curved knife.
This image... it feels somewhat familiar, like a horde from some anime, but Ling Yi couldn't remember its name.
She was an absolutely perfect woman; her figure, skin, and face were so perfect that they seemed unreal.
"The Forgotten One or the Dream Entry Person?" the white-haired girl asked, staring at Ling Yi.
"..."
"Looks like Dream Entry Person, a newcomer?"
"Forehead..."
"If you want to know everything, come with me." With that, the white-haired girl leaped off the roof.
"Damn it, what am I going to do if you jump?" Ling Yi shouted.
The girl's voice came from downstairs, " Dream Entry Person, your will is the source of your power."
Ling Yi gritted his teeth and jumped off the roof. At that moment, the first thing that came to Ling Yi's mind was Kakarot in his Super Saiyan Blue form.
"Boom!"
An overwhelming aura rose from Ling Yi's body. His hair turned into a blue spiky afro, and his clothes changed into orange-red training clothes. His body was burning with blue flames, and powerful energy instantly swept over his entire body.
"This works?" Ling Yi was overjoyed.
At this moment, the white-haired girl's figure was getting further and further away, and Ling Yi suddenly accelerated and chased after her.
The girl clearly couldn't fly, but because she was extremely familiar with the terrain, she moved nimbly between the buildings.
Because the world is upside down, Gravity in this world is also a mess.
Just moments ago, Gravity was acting downwards, but the next moment it shifted to the right, and before you could even adjust, Gravity suddenly turned upwards again.
Ling Yi was dizzy from being pulled by Gravity and could only try his best to control his body to follow that slender figure, hoping that all of this would end soon.
After walking down a shopping street, at the end of the street, the other party finally stopped.
Ling Yi forcibly stopped his body in mid-air, his face pale, and slowly landed beside the girl, and then...
"Vomit!"
Ling Yi turned pale and dry heaved for a long time.
"You're much better than I expected. At least you didn't throw up, and you're the first person I've ever met who could keep up with my speed when Dream Entry Person."
The girl said softly.
Only then did Ling Yi have time to look around.
This is just an ordinary commercial street, bustling with people coming and going.
But at that moment, Ling Yi felt a chill run down his spine.
Everyone on the commercial street is abnormal; some have only half a face, some only half a body, and some even have only a head without a body.
Yet they still walk, talk, argue, and squeeze onto buses like normal people...
"Them..."
"They are called the Forgotten Ones. As a person's traces in the real world are gradually erased, they will also gradually disappear from this world."
"Dreams are a manifestation of people's memories."
Ling Yi sensed a melancholy Aura emanating from the girl.
"Can you control your Dream Entry world?" the girl asked, staring at Ling Yi.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Ling Yi's reply, the girl gave a bright smile, then extended her hand to Ling Yi and said, "Hello, my name is NieR, welcome to the Dream Entry World."
"My name is Ling Yi. What is this... Dream Realm?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
NieR turned and walked towards a building, saying as he went, "When ordinary people dream, they generate Dream Power. The Dream Realm exists because of this Dream Power."
" Dream Power?"
"Yes, the Dream Power is generated whenever someone dreams, and anything that appears in our dreams will Manifestation in the Dream Realm. This is why the Dream Realm is so inverted."
At this moment, NieR had already led Ling Yi into the underground parking garage of the building.
A few rhythmic knocks were made on a wall in the underground parking garage, and a small window flipped open, revealing a combination lock inside.
"What exists in reality will inevitably exist in the Dream Realm. For example, when people in a city dream of similar scenes, it will resonate with the Dream Power, and the city will Manifestation in the Dream Realm."
NieR said as he entered the password.
As the password was entered, the entire wall recessed inward, creating a passage. NieR led Ling Yi into the passage.
As soon as I stepped inside, a mechanical sound came from behind me, and the Daoist School closed again.
Then, the lights in the passage came on, dispelling the darkness, and NieR continued to lead Ling Yi deeper into the passage.
"It's not just cities that resonate with the Dream Power; certain film and animation worlds, or the characters within them, also resonate."
"I am a character in the world of anime."
The passageway was long and sloped downwards, making the sound of their footsteps exceptionally clear.
" The Dream Realm is a real world, at least it appears real to us."
"Here there will be Combat, life and death, and the most terrifying Nightmare. Every so often, the Nightmare will appear and devour everything in the Dream Realm."
" Nightmare?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Nightmare. This is also a product of Dream Power. After all, there will always be some people who dream of strange things. It's not surprising that some people can dream of Nightmare."
"..." Ling Yi thought to himself, the author of this novel world is incredibly talented. This genius-level setting is clearly aimed at becoming a god.
" Nightmare has no fixed form; it can Transformation into any person or anything. Every time Nightmare appears, it is a disaster for the Dream Realm."
"However, the Nightmare also knows that the Dream Realm is the foundation of its existence, so it will not completely destroy the Dream Realm. It will appear approximately once every hundred years."
A century? A century in the real world?
"No, a hundred years in the Dream Realm."
Ling Yi asked curiously, "How is this time flow rate calculated?"
"Not fixed!" NieR shook his head.
"Not fixed?"
"Yes, the flow of time in the Dream Realm is related to the Dream Entry Person."
Ling Yi didn't quite understand.
"Most Dream Entry Person enter the Dream Realm do so by chance. In their eyes, it's just a dream, and for Dream Entry Person, a dream is merely a period of sleep."
"No matter how long Dream Entry Person lives in the Dream Realm, it is only a few hours in the real world."
Ling Yi nodded in understanding.
Are there many people Dream Entry Person?
"Not many. A dream is a dream, and the Dream Realm is the Dream Realm. To Dream Entry world, the Dream Entry Person must clearly know within the dream that it is a dream, and actively accept the guidance of the Dream Power to Dream Entry world."
"Guide?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"When people dream, they often encounter complete strangers; this is the Dream Power, or the guidance of the Dream Realm."
"But when people face the unfamiliar, they instinctively feel a sense of rejection. At this time, their Divine Power becomes extremely active, making it very easy to wake up from a dream."
At this moment, the two arrived in front of a silver-white iron gate. NieR entered the password again and opened the gate.
What comes into view is an enormous space filled with a futuristic feel.
In the very center of the space stood three 30-meter-tall mechs, their designs extremely sleek. The middle one was red, while the other two were black and white.
"Gundam?" Ling Yi said in surprise.
"This isn't some kind of trash like Gundam; this is Giant God Warrior, a creation of a Living Metal."
The three mechs were surrounded by a circular corridor with thick glass panels. Ling Yi and NieR stood in front of the glass, looking at the three mechs.
" Ling Yi!"
"Um?"
NieR turned to Ling Yi and said seriously, "I hope you can help us kill Nightmare."
" The Nightmare's power is growing stronger, and his ambitions extend beyond simply enslaving the Dream Realm..."
