Chapter 339: Fairy Tale Mage
Klein looked at the emblem on the book, for a moment not knowing what to do.
He hesitated repeatedly, then cautiously extended wisps of Spirituality, probing into the emblem.
Hum!
Klein's perception followed the pull of a certain power, entering a vast Space.
The entire Space contained everything Klein had guessed; all kinds of human depravity and spiritual Filth were concentrated together, and they were constantly rising at a steady rate!
The desires or, rather, the dark thoughts within the human heart will never disappear.
Klein only "looked" for a glance before urgently cutting off his perception, not daring to look again.
With this authority, he would not be subject to Corruption, but looking at these things too much was like staring directly into the Abyss; it was too dangerous.
"This is truly a massive trouble..." Klein's mouth twitched.
"However, this thing does not seem to be without its uses." Klein stroked the emblem, various thoughts arising.
But he still very rationally suppressed his thoughts; at this moment, the most important thing was still the "Fairy Tale Mage".
These first-edition Dream Gold Coins were also necessary items for holding the ritual.
Klein had obtained this batch of gold coins from Edwina, that pirate admiral, treasure hunter, and great collector.
Klein steeled his heart, grabbed the canvas, and gave it a violent shake; a patch of bright golden coins was shaken out of the canvas, covering the entire altar.
These were not illusions of the Phantom Realm, but real Dream Gold Coins!
Klein quickly set up the prayer ritual; he took a canvas from his person, feeling a bit of heartache.
"Supreme Dream..."
In some legends, they even have the effect of suppressing madness, which also leads to these gold coins being used in many strange places.
For example, when Solomon nobles were buried, they had to hold one in their mouths and have a handful scattered, in order to return to "Fantasy Land" after death.
It was still that initial version of the Dream Gold Coins, said to be the first batch of gold coins in the world personally created by "Supreme Dream"!
These gold coins had extremely strong directional properties in occultism, pointing toward "Supreme Dream" and toward "Purity".
Only after adjusting his state of mind did Klein begin to pray amidst this pile of glittering gold coins.
Previously, the ritual for the "Dream" Pathway only required ordinary gold coins, but now it could only be Dream Gold Coins; the inflation was too severe.
But this was an indispensable part of the ritual.
Only things so closely related to "Supreme Dream" could be brought into the Phantom Realm.
Klein listened to the voice that sounded very pious as it echoed across the altar.
"Too expensive! Too expensive!" Klein's heart was bleeding; to ensure the effectiveness of the ritual, he had taken out all his Dream Gold Coins.
His Dark Fairy Tale had been recognized by the Phantom Realm, the advancement ritual was already complete, and now only the prayer ritual remained.
Due to various reasons and the passage of time, the value of these gold coins was far higher than today's gold coins, and there was a high probability that not many could be found.
"... I pray for your bestowal, pray for your blessing, pray for you to grant me the status of 'Fairy Tale Mage'."
The moment Klein's prayer reached "Fairy Tale Mage", the Dream Gold Coins beneath his feet all exploded with a bang, turning into specks of Dream Phosphor.
At this moment, Klein finally believed the legends about the Dream Gold Coins; these were indeed gold coins personally created by "Supreme Dream", made from Dream Phosphor Creation!
This also allowed Klein to see the limits of the "Person in the Painting" ability; so, the "Dream" Pathway really could draw real gold coins upon reaching a high Sequence!
*Cough cough*... Klein hurriedly pulled his thoughts back.
Now, Klein was already using the method of prayer to reverse the form of these Dream Gold Coins, transforming them back into Dream Phosphor.
Hum...
The candle representing Klein suddenly shot up a conspicuous flame, and Klein's Spirituality also surged at a terrifying speed at this moment!
Those Dream Phosphor, transformed back from the Dream Gold Coins, seemed to have found a direction and began to surge toward Klein's soul like a tide, remodeling everything about him.
"This is..." Klein was enjoying the rapid explosion of power, but at this moment, his peripheral vision caught the candle representing the deity suddenly brightening; then, following the sensation, Klein raised his head to look at the Holy Statue directly opposite.
He finally knew why the advancement ritual had to be held before the Holy Statue.
He saw the Holy Statue open its eyes!
In Klein's perception, the Holy Statue had come alive, as if "Supreme Dream" had descended, the majestic figure truly revealing its Mythical Creature Form.
At this moment, Klein's mind and spirit received an unimaginable impact.
When staring directly at the Holy Statue, Klein had an urge to become a fanatic; now, the Holy Statue had glanced at him!
His brain felt like it had exploded, losing the ability to think, and in his eyes, he could only see that surging Dream Sea.
Hum!
The copy of "Utopia" that Klein had placed on the altar suddenly hummed softly, helping Klein locate himself amidst the vast sea of Dream Phosphor and regain a sliver of consciousness.
He used this sliver of consciousness to quickly meditate, restraining his thoughts and pulling back his will, which had almost been crushed.
This was the true meaning of the "Dream" Pathway ritual, which had the same goal as the Potion System: to anchor oneself!
Those who drink the Potion will be subjected to mental impact from the Potion and may lose control, turning into a Monster.
And those who receive the Gift of "Supreme Dream" may have their will washed away by the massive amount of Dream Phosphor, becoming a Dream fanatic with a fried brain.
"Supreme Dream" is too pure and dreamy; that kind of power is simply something no one can withstand, and there must be an auxiliary ritual to anchor one's will.
"So, starting from Sequence 5 of the 'Dream' Pathway, everyone will be watched by 'Supreme Dream'..."
Klein recalled that gaze that had fallen upon him.
The gaze of such an existence was not something he could withstand.
"Too terrifying... No! Too majestic!" Klein hurriedly stopped his blasphemous evaluation.
"However, I have already become a 'Fairy Tale Mage'!"
Klein was overjoyed in his heart; he suppressed his excitement, cleaned up the traces of the ritual, then piously thanked "Supreme Dream", and followed the connection between himself and his body to leave the Phantom Realm.
The Klein lying on the bed opened his eyes and suddenly jumped up; his body was actually floating in mid-air, defying the laws of physics.
Intense Dream Phosphor overflowed from his body, illuminating the entire room.
He hurriedly reined in his own power, and the Dream Phosphor also gradually returned to his body.
"What a massive improvement!" Klein gradually descended from mid-air to examine himself.
That just now was entirely a manifestation of Dream Phosphor interfering with Reality, allowing him to fly directly out of thin air and hover for half a minute.
"The higher the Sequence of the 'Dream' Pathway, the more obvious the improvement!" Klein once again confirmed this fact.
