" Xiao Gang, these are two Wisdom Skull I found. One is Illusion Amplification, and the other is Light of Insight. However, they are only a little over ten thousand years old. Do you think they're usable?"
Bibi Dong took out two eye-shaped Soul Bone from her Storage Soul Tool. These were the Head Soul Bone she had obtained using her Pope permission, but both were severely damaged.
Soul Bone are born inside the bodies of Soul Beast. Apart from special Externally Attached Spirit Bone, the Soul Bone in other parts of the body become more and more complete as the Soul Beast's cultivation level increases.
The most complete set is the Soul Bone produced inside Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If you collect a complete set of Soul Bone from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, you can form armor that covers your entire body and evolve into perfect divine armor.
Although the two Soul Bone that Bibi Dong found were both precious Head Soul Bone, unfortunately they were too young, only a little over ten thousand years old, so only the eyeballs were fully formed.
"That's enough!"
Smiling, Wang Hao accepted the two eyeball-shaped Head Soul Bone and began to process them, while Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely worried that these two Soul Bone wouldn't meet her beloved's requirements!
However, she was also quite helpless. Although she had become the supreme Pope of the Spirit Hall in name only, the actual authority she could obtain was very limited.
Even these two Soul Bone, which are just over ten thousand years old, took a great deal of effort and even a considerable price to obtain.
This is the best she can do at this stage.
Picking up the illusory skull, Wang Hao placed it into the Soul Tool sphere on his chest, using his Soul Power as an energy source to absorb and fuse it.
Soon, the illusory skull merged into the Soul Tool sphere, and then the Soul Tool sphere rose from the chest of Wang Hao's puppet body to the brain.
"It's so much easier now!"
Feeling that the consumption of Soul Power to maintain this body had greatly decreased, Wang Hao was quite satisfied with this Soul Bone.
Although it wasn't a perfect Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was still enough for him to use now.
" Dong'er, don't resist."
With his formidable cultivation, Wang Hao mastered the illusionary Soul Skill within the Soul Bone in a short time, and a beam of mysterious light shot from his eyes into Bibi Dong's pupils.
Out of unconditional trust in the person she loved, Bibi Dong forcibly suppressed the rebellious instinct of her Soul Power. Her consciousness then wavered, and she found herself in an unfamiliar environment. In front of her appeared a figure, which was Wang Hao's clone.
"Is this an illusion you created?"
Looking at the vast expanse of white all around, Bibi Dong was filled with curiosity and also deeply shocked.
Like Soul Bone, Soul Ring bones come with Soul Skill once they are formed, and the Soul Skill of this Illusion Amplification skull is to enhance illusion abilities.
However, according to the records of previous refiners of this Soul Bone by the Spirit Hall, the Illusion Amplification ability in the Soul Bone is just a pure amplification, and it is absolutely impossible to directly set up an illusion space.
Therefore, this Soul Bone can only be fully utilized by Soul Master with illusion attack methods. However, she never expected that this man would directly create an illusion space using the Illusion Amplification skill of this Soul Bone.
Although this illusion is a vast expanse of white, and quite unreal and monotonous, it is indeed an illusion.
"Calling it an illusion is not accurate; it should be called a dream, and specifically, your dream."
Everyone dreams, and the scenes experienced in dreams are a kind of illusory space similar to a dream.
I came across the existence of dreams by chance and conducted some research on them.
It's a pity that the conditions were insufficient before, so we could only conduct theoretical research. Now, we can use this Soul Bone as a foundation to try it out, and it doesn't seem too difficult."
Wang Hao gave a brief explanation, looked around, raised an eyebrow at the monotonous, hazy environment, and continued, " Dong'er, this is your dream space. You are the master here. Here, you are the Creator God, possessing the ability to shape everything."
Anything you have a comprehensive understanding of can be created here. Let's start with the simplest thing, like creating a teacup.
"Can I do it?"
Bibi Dong blinked her adorable, ruby-red eyes, looking somewhat insecure.
It wasn't that she was ignorant, but rather that the premise was too fantastical. As a native of the Douluo Continent, when had she ever encountered such a magical concept?
Believe in yourself, you can do it. The creative process is not complicated. Just recall a teacup from your memory and imagine that teacup is now in your hand.
Relax your whole body, don't be tense, implant this thought into your subconscious...
Wang Hao provided a detailed explanation, guiding Bibi Dong to create things within this dream world.
What is the subconscious?
After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong felt a little embarrassed.
This was the first time she had heard the term "subconscious," and she couldn't understand its meaning.
"..."
Wang Hao was taken aback by the question, and was utterly speechless!
He quickly realized that although these were basic common sense to him, they were completely new and unfamiliar knowledge to this world.
"Alright, looks like I'll have to give you a thorough lesson!"
Rubbing his forehead, Wang Hao organized his thoughts and explained, "The cultivation of dream consciousness is a completely new Body Refinement that I created based on the Soul Power system. It mainly cultivates our consciousness and spiritual power, etc."
Our consciousness is divided into conscious and subconscious. Consciousness is the conscious thought process that we can clearly perceive in our awake state.
The subconscious is the instinctive consciousness hidden beneath our conscious mind; it is chaotic yet incredibly vast.
Just like an Iceburg floating in water, the part that emerges above the water is like the conscious mind, which is only the tip of the Iceburg. The vast majority of its volume is hidden below the surface, which is like the subconscious mind.
The conscious and subconscious minds are not independent, but rather combined and capable of influencing each other.
There's an old saying that goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." This means that when we're conscious during the day, we think about certain things, and when we sleep at night, our conscious mind is asleep. These thoughts from the day then enter our subconscious and shape corresponding dreams.
"I know that. I missed you so much before, and I dreamed about you every night. So that's why."
At this point, Bibi Dong finally understood the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind in dreams. However, as soon as she said it, she realized something was wrong, especially after noticing the strange look in the eyes of her beloved. Her pretty face flushed red, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.
" That Grandmaster is really a scumbag!"
Looking at her shy and adorable appearance, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
In the original course of fate, Bibi Dong really sacrificed too much for Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Bibi Dong lived in endless pain and despair, but Yu Xiaogang quickly found a new love and got together with Liu Erlong.
Finally, he even kicked Bibi Dong into an even deeper abyss of despair, causing her to ultimately go to extremes.
Although it was Liu Erlong who took the initiative to pursue him, it's quite intriguing that Yu Xiaogang accepted her feelings so quickly.
What exactly made you forget your first love so quickly and start a second relationship?
It's worth noting that in such an ancient era, women were often at a severe disadvantage in matters of the heart, even someone as strong as Bibi Dong, the strongest female character in Douluo I, couldn't escape this.
This may also be related to the fact that women are more emotional, which puts them at a significant disadvantage compared to men who tend to be more rational.
"We continue creating the teacup, deepening your conscious obsession with its shaping, using your conscious mind to influence your subconscious, and then using your subconscious to influence this dream—it's like a form of self-hypnosis, a kind of self-soothing..."
Okay, congratulations on taking the most difficult step. Although it looks simple, it is indeed a teacup.
Wang Hao, who was guiding the explanation, looked at the teacup that suddenly appeared in Bibi Dong's hand and could only sigh at the girl's extraordinary talent and the strangeness of her ideas.
This is indeed a teacup, but its shape is problematic; it's not round at all, and if you pour tea into it, most of it will probably spill out.
Looking at the strangely shaped teacup in her hand, Bibi Dong blushed and quickly dispersed the cup before re-creating it.
With the previous experience, the second teacup was quickly created, and its shape was quite satisfactory. Tea was also simultaneously created inside it.
"It's amazing! It feels just like real tea!"
Taking a sip of the still-steaming tea, Bibi Dong's bright red eyes lit up, and her excited face flushed again.
This is absolutely amazing!
"Any matter created or constructed here originates from your own perception, and what is created will naturally be exactly the same as what you perceive."
After confirming that the tea in Bibi Dong's teacup was of acceptable quality, Wang Hao continued, "Next, you will continue to practice creating matter as you perceive it within this dream world."
However, remember this: you are currently only in the first layer of my dream realm. It's best not to create anything too complex, as that would be too much of a burden and could easily cause the dream to collapse, especially not living beings.
"The first layer of the dream? Dreams have different layers?"
Bibi Dong was greatly surprised. The knowledge she had heard before was already shocking enough, but she never expected there to be something even more shocking.
"Of course, it depends on the level. For example, if you dream again in the first level of the dream, then you will create a second level of the dream within the first level of the dream, which is much more difficult and demanding."
Wang Hao maintained his usual mild-mannered, laid-back expression. Since Saitama was usually in that laid-back state, he didn't bother to expend his Soul Power to change it.
"A dream within a dream!?"
Bibi Dong was shocked once again. She never expected that a simple dream could have such a fantastical twist. This was truly an amazing way to play with dreams!
"Yes, it's a dream within a dream. In my imagination, a dream within a dream can go on indefinitely, and the time flow of each layer of the dream will increase exponentially."
Of course, this doesn't mean that time is actually changed, but rather that our thinking speed is increased in dreams, making it feel as if the flow of time is actually altered.
That's all for now. You're not ready to accept my presence in your dreams yet, and maintaining this state is taking a toll on me, so I won't stay any longer.
Pay attention to the overall time here. When you feel dizzy, quickly use your conscious mind to think about waking up and use self-hypnotic suggestion. This will help you exit the dream.
Tell me about it after you wake up, and I'll calculate how it compares to the flow of time in the real world.
After speaking, the form manifested by Wang Hao's consciousness dissipated into this dream.
This is not his dream, but Bibi Dong's. He is essentially an outsider and will instinctively be rejected by this dream world.
Bibi Dong was temporarily unable to control this first layer of the dream, unable to eliminate this instinctive rejection. He could only withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise the drain would be too much for him to bear.
He currently has very little Soul Power reserves, and has not found a suitable source of Soul Power. Every bit of Soul Power is extremely precious and absolutely cannot be wasted.
" Xiao Gang, I want you more and more!"
In the dream space where only Bibi Dong remained, she clenched her Bibi Dong hand tightly, her determination to possess that man even stronger, to the point of being resolute.
She has already been forced to give up once, and this time she will never give up again. No one can stop her now, even if it means being shattered to pieces!
