Chapter 220: Creation

Roselle quickly calmed down, pulling himself away from that complex state of mind.

During his time sailing the seas, his understanding of the entire world had already become sufficiently profound, but he could not find the legendary Western Continent and the Forsaken Land of the Gods, unable to complete the puzzle.

Now, he had finally seen that familiar outline.

"Thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, the original Creator woke up on Earth, and human civilization was destroyed," Chumen said, looking at the Earth before him, explaining in a soft voice.

"Afterward, the original Creator split, scattering Beyonder Characteristics, creating the Star Barrier, and then came the struggle of the Pillars, the devouring of Source Quality, and the peering of Outer Gods."

That was the origin of everything.

Roselle nodded silently, suppressing all his complex emotions deep in his heart, and refocused his mental energy on the creation of the Phantom Realm.

"Then we cannot let Earth truly manifest," Roselle flattened the Earth before him, turning it into a world where the sky is round and the earth is square.

The oceans remained oceans, and it could have the visual effect of a planet, but as a whole, the world was flat; various Rules were distorted here, yet they were eerily self-consistent.

It's just dreaming, after all; where would there be so much logic?

"Can we pull everyone into the dream?" Roselle asked.

"We can, but it is not necessary; this place is also a reflection of people's subconscious." Chumen pointed, and the subconscious of everyone in the world appeared in that world.

And the subconscious of these people simply repeated what they were doing in the Real World.

"Subconscious? It's more like NPCs," Roselle said thoughtfully. "This is a world that can be entered through dreaming; only after people fall into sleep will they wake up here."

"That is possible, but not everyone can remain clear-headed in a dream and have the ability to manipulate the dreamscape."

Such people are likely Beyonders, and the rest are all those with innate gifts.

"So you mean it's a beta version. It still needs to be perfected."

"Hmm..." Roselle began to leverage his own advantages. "Then this place can serve as a newbie village, and those who truly wake up in the dream can weave dreamscapes, becoming Dream Makers."

They had completely treated the Phantom Realm as a game world to be perfected; such a method was the most fitting.

"The dreamscapes they create will become part of the Phantom Realm, enriching this world."

"Our power is limited after all, while the power of the people is infinite."

Roselle's expression was serious and solemn, yet he still could not hide his sinister intentions.

He wanted everyone to work for him!

Chumen's expression was slightly distorted. "You are truly a dog; you don't even spare their sleeping time."

Working for you, the First Speaker, during the day, and being pulled into a dreamscape by you at night.

"Cough, cough! It's mutual benefit! They help us enrich the world, and we return a perfect dream to them."

"That street lamp over there suits you quite well," Chumen teased, pointing at a street lamp that had suddenly appeared.

However, he did not deny it; this was indeed the best method.

"Of course, I am the World Forger; wait until I take a hammer and knock out a few dozen Dream Wonderlands."

Roselle stroked his chin, also gradually becoming excited; this pleasure of creation was enough to make anyone excited.

"Then we can divide the Phantom Realm into three levels: the bottom layer is the basic world modeled after Earth, followed by the dreamscapes of the Dream Makers, and the top layer is the Fairyland we create."

As soon as Chumen said these words, the entire Phantom Realm began to shake violently.

The world began to divide, and the dreamscapes began to float upward; the top layer was the Eden and Fairy Tale Town he had created.

There were no clear boundaries between these three layers; as long as the dreamer had sufficient cognition, they could easily break through the barriers and go to the top layer.

"This is the framework; afterward, someone will naturally come to fill in the details for me."

Except for the basic world, the other two frameworks held infinite hope, which was what he wanted to see.

"Very good." Chumen was satisfied; he casually took a stream of information from the void and threw it to Roselle.

"This is the prepaid reward; your Sequence is still a bit low right now."

Roselle took the stream of information, his brows furrowing slightly. "Knowledge Emperor?!"

His expression became extremely strange; this was something he had never expected.

"There is only this one; the 'Hermit' is my avatar, but it is not a True God. One Characteristic has been completely lost."

"What I can finally give you is also not the 'Hermit' Authority."

"But the one on the back of your hand."

Roselle raised his hand and looked at the Dream Mark on the back of his hand; this was the permission of the "World Forger."

"The more perfect the Phantom Realm becomes, the better my state will be, and the more power you can borrow from me, until one day, even if you leave the Phantom Realm."

"You can also call yourself the 'God of Phantom Dreams' in the Real World."

Chumen looked at Roselle, completely revealing the method of becoming a god outside of the "God's Pathway" he had mentioned before.

"Even True God Authority can be divided?"

Finally, Roselle asked this question, which greatly challenged his occult knowledge.

"Other True Gods cannot, and even the Oldest One cannot, but I can," Chumen replied.

After the Phantom Realm is perfected, the "Illusion Dream" Unique will return to Chumen's body, and the ritual will be completed.

And this kind of "division" is actually a type of Gift, "dividing" a part of oneself and bestowing it upon a believer.

This bestowal is temporary; the power of a True God must use the Unique as a Pillar.

And the fundamental reason why Chumen can divide a certain Authority and let Roselle master it is because of the Phantom Realm.

One of the materials for opening the Phantom Realm is the "Illusion Dream" Unique. Even if the "Illusion Dream" Unique returns to Chumen's body in the end, the Phantom Realm will still exist.

As the "World Forger" of the Phantom Realm, Roselle can naturally borrow the power of the entire Phantom Realm.

"Incredible..."

"But I accept!" Roselle took a deep breath, deciding to seize this opportunity, and at the same time, he had sufficient motivation to perfect the Phantom Realm.

"Very good." At this moment, a Rule descended, and a "Contract" was signed between Roselle and Chumen.

"Isn't it more fun here than in the Real World? You can just discard that damn First Speaker position." Chumen persuaded.

"How could it be that simple?" Roselle shook his head, "To retire completely, it will still take some time."

"Tsk, then hurry up, don't delay things here."

Roselle nodded slightly; this First Speaker, who had been in power for less than a year, was already planning his retirement.

Compared to creating a world, the mundane affairs of the empire were not worth caring about.

"Then when is the public beta?" Roselle asked.

The public beta meant truly opening it up, letting those Beyonders and Dream Weavers enter here to perfect this world.

"Hmm..." Chumen thought for a moment, "We'll conduct an internal beta first; the public beta will be in a few years, and for a complete rollout, I have to wait for my Oldest One."

The so-called complete rollout meant embedding the Phantom Realm into the underlying foundation of the universe.
