Chapter 2831: Breaking Through the Purple Flower Dream!

The earth mother murmured: "Back then, you should have designed the land to be purple as well."

It realized that in this world, only purple things are the objects upon which the Goddess of Illusory Music exerts her divine power.

But how could the Goddess of Illusory Music consider "land" such a basic medium?

It is gentle, neutral, ubiquitous, and in the eyes of most people, overlooked.

As vast tracts of land turned into bedrock, the valley was about to become a single great mountain. In the distance, purple alfalfa still wanted to grow, but it could not survive on rock.

The earth mother walked five li away, lowered her head, and looked again.

This is the boundary between bedrock and land, that is, the dividing line between gray-white and purple.

In other words, it is also the manifestation of the power in which it and the Goddess of Illusory Music confront each other!

This purple dream has been trying to restore itself, but the earth mother, using her immense power, forcibly interrupted this process.

Next, it continued walking into the center of another sea of alfalfa flowers, and once again raised its stone giant fist.

Soon, this flower sea also turned into rock.

The power of the Goddess of Illusory Music was once again forced to retreat.

The earth mother dared to do this based on one premise:

It knows that the more complex a dream becomes, the closer it approaches a world, and thus, like the Secret Realm, must establish foundational rules at creation. Only then can the dream world operate orderly upon that foundation.

Such foundational rules are like the bottommost blocks of a model; once removed, the model may collapse directly. Even if the dream world's creator wishes to change them, they are difficult to alter forcibly.

Not to mention, just speaking of the foundational laws of the real world— which one can be easily changed? The Black Dragon sacrificed himself for the Dao, and with the aid of many fortuitous circumstances, only then utilized the Great Square Vessel to create the new law of "primordial energy." And to allow primordial energy to be nested within the fundamental law system of the real world, the Great Square Vessel diligently evolved for several thousand years, until encountering He Lingchuan, this special partner, did the evolutionary process greatly accelerate.

Changing even one fundamental law is this difficult. Even as the master of her own dream, the Goddess of Illusory Music cannot temporarily modify the model.

The earth mother shook the ground three times in total, occupying vast expanses of land.

These grounds all turned into hard, dense stone shells, leaving no space for purple flowers to re-spread. During this process, the growth rate of purple alfalfa greatly increased, obviously the Goddess of Illusory Music is also competing with it.

Now the earth mother stands on the hill looking back; this world is no longer a ghost-hitting wall for it.

Going further ahead, it is mostly the end of the dream.

But it is also somewhat tired.

After all, this is not reality; the consumption is of its soul power, and this is very difficult to replenish on the spot.

The earth mother paces on the land it has just regained, pondering what to do next.

At this moment, it discovers that in the cracks of several large stones, some tender grass has sprouted again.

Not alfalfa, but also purple small flowers, each with only four petals— southern cress!

This flower has extraordinary vitality; even in remote corners, it can grow luxuriantly.

It scans the surroundings again and finds that in the stone crevices nearby, this grass flower is also quietly pushing out.

Since the Goddess of Illusory Music cannot reclaim the land with its original tactics, it plans to change its approach. This is its dream, its home-field advantage is strong; after a few more rounds, it might possibly exhaust the earth mother to the ground.

If these purple flowers are allowed to flourish again, the land the earth mother painstakingly seized will be taken back, and its time is short.

The earth mother gritted its teeth and once again pressed both hands onto the ground.

At this moment, it is already thirty zhang tall; even if it lightly kneels on the ground, it is a major movement.

Even in a dream, this rocky land temporarily belongs to the earth mother's control, so its divine powers can take effect quickly here.

The ground between its hands soon collapsed into a depression.

The earth mother continued to drive its divine power, and thus this hole became deeper and wider, soon becoming bottomless.

From the surface, it already looks very much like the fissure it previously jumped out of.

The earth mother has not yet found a path back to its original dream, but it still has an idea:

Breaking this purple flower dream— wouldn't that allow it to exit?

Regarding how to leave the dream, Chi Hai's saying is to find the exit. The earth mother lacks such rich experience, but it doesn't matter; it can play to its strengths and avoid weaknesses, relying on its own power to forcibly punch out an opening!

This great earth fissure is his destruction of the dream.

The Land of Dreams must have limits, because the power of the Goddess of Illusory Music has limits!

The earth mother does not understand the Land of Dreams, but it understands the ultimate essence of all balances— that they will be destroyed by great power.

Indeed, as the earth fissure expands ever larger, the entire purple flower dream keeps trembling, those purple plants ceased their expansion.

The earth mother presses on relentlessly.

After an unknown time, a muffled kaklong sound came from underground, as if something deep down had broken, sounding like a ship's keel snapping in half.

This earth fissure then rapidly expanded at seven or eight times its original speed.

Under its destruction, the valley's rocks heaved chaotically, countless stone fragments fell into the fissure.

The earth mother rubbed its hands, waiting for the dream to vanish, so it could return to reality.

Indeed, after more than ten breaths, the purple flower dream it was in shattered into pieces, like spring ice melting in water, and everything around began to fade.

The earth mother clenched its fist, and in its palm it held that drop of wind-dew.

The dream of Illusory Music has been broken; now, it should be able to return to reality by relying on the wind-dew, right?

……

Outside the Dragon Moat, Dragon Moat West Town.

One after another, intelligence reports were delivered to Duanmu Heng's desk; he opened a few, then stopped opening them, threw them on the desk, and pressed his temples:

"It seems the progress of the gods' actions on the Earth Mother Plains is far below expectations."

He had long known the difficulty of attacking the Earth Mother Plains. But several Heavenly Sovereigns have gone, and progress remains this slow. Alas, Cangyan truly lives up to being the opponent most valued by Begga, and the Nine Abysses Great Emperor truly lives up to being the opponent most worried about by the Lingxu Holy Sovereign.

Suddenly, a thick voice behind him asked: "Has Nine Abysses come?"

Duanmu Heng did not move his brow at all, obviously knowing he was nearby. "He should not have come yet."

"Then how do you know the demons' progress is so slow?"

This person directly called the gods "demons," his tone carrying an indescribable arrogance; to the people of the Heavenly Palace, it naturally sounded somewhat grating, but Duanmu Heng had no opinion at all.

"He Yue and his subordinates actually rushed back to the Kunlong Pit." Endu Heng paused for a moment before uttering the second "actually," "I received word here that the deities who infiltrated the Earth Mother Plains—actually, actually—over twenty of them have fallen. This may indicate that the defensive forces of the Earth Mother Plains are also formidable."

Endu Heng had prepared for today's battle for three years, but after all, he lacked the ability to foresee the future, making it impossible for him to accurately gauge just how strong the defensive forces of the Earth Mother Plains truly were.
