In fact, in the Special Edition world, Black, the hero chosen by the Light Stone, also possessed this same dream power, even allowing him and Heilian to physically sense Lianruzhishu’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is where Zhen Gu now lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Rowan sent Zhen Gu a message, saying someone wished to meet her, and specifically asked whether Champion Adak had been searching for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhen Gu did not reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Guang Tai and Professor Rowan arrived at the top floor of the easternmost apartment in SanYao City, the one who greeted them was Zhen Gu’s younger sister—the co-developer of the Pokémon Storage System: Maitu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like a primary-school-aged girl, yet wore a researcher’s white coat that clashed absurdly with her stature—adorably comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Professor Rowan, you came without even telling me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sent a message. Your sister didn’t reply. I tried the instant communicator—no answer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Rowan sighed helplessly. Maitu froze, then smacked her forehead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no! I forgot! Earlier, I was testing the dream device with my sister—she’s fast asleep in bed right now. To prevent interference during testing, I turned off the communicator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly invited Professor Rowan and Guang Tai inside. As Guang Tai stepped in, Maitu frowned slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, are you Professor Rowan’s new assistant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, he’s not my assistant,” Professor Rowan patted Maitu’s small head. “He’s a psychic. He came here because he’s interested in dream research.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream research! Ah! So you believe the dream world is real too!” Maitu perked up instantly. “Then you’re not here to assist Professor Rowan—you’re here to assist my sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I already said he’s not an assistant! Let us see Zhen Gu now!” Professor Rowan cut off Maitu’s excitement. She too wanted to see if Zhen Gu had made any breakthroughs lately—if not,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then it would be her time alone with Deoxys!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Guang Tai would have a research exchange with Zhen Gu—this precious time must not be wasted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Professor Rowan was deeply curious about the medicines Guang Tai had placed inside the Master Ball. She had never seen such substances in any herbal shop or store, and they could rapidly restore a Pokémon’s full abilities—or even restore life itself—far beyond normal logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Vitality Blocks and Revival Grass didn’t have such effects. So, was Guang Tai also a “pharmacist”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Art and pharmacy? Has the bar for item craftsmen risen this high now? In Unova, there was virtually no such profession as an item craftsman, so Professor Rowan didn’t understand it well—even though she’d once been a backpacker, a backpacker ≠ a craftsman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, Champion Adak might barely qualify?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Rowan’s mind swarmed with thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have something important to discuss with Professor Zhen Gu—and with you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maitu was also Professor Zhen Gu’s assistant. Though very young, she was a genuine child prodigy, actively engaged in dream research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to learn about the dream world, you’ve come to the right place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maitu raised her hand. “And since you came with Professor Rowan, you must be extraordinary! We’ve had other psychics assist us at the Dream Research Institute before! Let me show you our great invention!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they opened the door to a room on the top floor, Guang Tai saw Zhen Gu’s cluttered lab filled with equipment and instruments. Zhen Gu herself lay fast asleep on her bed, wearing a strange device on her head—resembling a learning apparatus by about eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Zhen Gu, an expert in dream world research—arguably the foremost in the field—appeared as a young female researcher with long black hair and half-frame glasses, a pink flower hairpin pinned to her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Dream Machine, also called the Dream System. Its official name is the World Synchronization Connection Device! Isn’t it huge, impressive, and amazing? The thing on her head is the Dream Test Device!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maitu dashed over to the nearby computer, stared at the waveform on the screen, and her face tightened with seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai stared at the display—and felt a strange sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like the brainwave graphs scientists used to monitor Ash and Mewtwo in Mewtwo’s Counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, brainwave detection technology was essentially the same everywhere. The dream world was intrinsically tied to consciousness, so it was more surprising that such technology didn’t exist in Unova—a region so technologically advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Kanto, scientists on New Island used this tech for cloning life; in Unova, scientists used it to explore the dream world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another bed beside Professor Zhen Gu lay a Pokémon also wearing a Dream Test Device. In SanYao City, of course, it was one of the Three Monkeys—the one on the bed was Cauldran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, the dream fluctuations are stable, the crossover moments are brief… This experiment again…” Maitu was about to say “failed,” but noticed Guang Tai and Professor Rowan’s gazes and quickly corrected herself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This experiment still has tremendous room for improvement!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai and Professor Rowan: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder she was a genius—her verbal diplomacy was impressive. Guang Tai thought. At that moment, Maitu terminated the dream test. Professor Zhen Gu’s eyelids fluttered, and she slowly woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Cauldran’s dream fluctuations weakened, signaling its imminent awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! So many people around me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she woke, Zhen Gu saw two strangers beside her sister—and sprang upright like a leaping carp, yanking off the Dream Test Device, which dangled limply beside the large machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no! My glasses fell off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden movement caused her half-frame glasses to drop to the floor. She groped blindly like a blind woman until Guang Tai picked them up and handed them to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, thank you so much! My glasses—phew! By the way, who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Zhen Gu finally saw Guang Tai’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked even younger than her—no, much younger. But then again, she herself was barely in her early twenties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still a girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Professor Zhen Gu. I’m Guang Tai—a craftsman, an artist, and a psychic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai introduced himself: “I’m deeply interested in your dream research project—and I have something important to discuss with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A psychic?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words “craftsman” and “artist” meant nothing to Zhen Gu. She only heard “psychic.” She immediately scrambled out of bed, scrutinizing Guang Tai closely—then finally noticed the awkward Professor Rowan beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Gu: “Oh! Professor Rowan, it’s been so long!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Rowan stared blankly: “We met just a month ago. That’s not ‘so long’—it’s not like we were separated for a year! SanYao City is barely any distance from Lu Zi Town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Gu immediately offered an awkward but polite smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this psychic boy your assistant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… he has something about dreams he wants to discuss with you,” Professor Rowan repeated again. Maitu, too, was intensely curious about Guang Tai’s psychic ability—after all, every psychic’s power was unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most basic psychic power is telekinesis—a skill with an extremely high ceiling but a very low floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Psychics possess strong mental energy, so their dreams are more active. They’re indispensable assistants during dream tests. The Dream Research Institute previously collaborated with psychics—some are still training near the ruins now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But frankly, we’ve had no results,” Zhen Gu said, shrugging and sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Data from past psychics had all been collected. Dream world tests had been conducted repeatedly—but they simply couldn’t enter it, nor prove its reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many researchers believed the dream world was merely ordinary dreams—what you see in a dream is just a dream, not some other dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let me properly introduce myself. I’m Zhen Gu. This is Maitu—my sister. Nice to meet you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Zhen Gu began explaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, our research aimed to harness dream energy as clean power. But Pokémon dreams deeply fascinated me, so I shifted focus to the World Synchronization Connection Device.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t Kanto and Sinnoh have global terminals—large facilities enabling Trainers worldwide to interact? We have a Battle Company developing a similar virtual battle system. But I want to achieve far more than just battling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even now, I believe the dream world is a dimension beyond reality. Pokémon dreams are genuinely powerful. If we can properly harness dream energy, we could collect data from every Trainer worldwide and allow them to meet in the dream world—to become friends with their Pokémon in their dreams!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You could see your neighbors in the dream world, freely customize your appearance, exchange Pokémon, attend grand events—the dream world holds infinite potential! That’s my belief!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The problem is, we still don’t know how to enter the dream world. Even after countless tests, we still can’t… Oh no! This experiment failed again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Gu rubbed her forehead, visibly frustrated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That just means our theory still has tremendous room for improvement—the future is bright,” Maitu muttered quietly. But seeing her sister’s face darken slightly, she instantly clamped her mouth shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our current research topic is Trainers and dreams. In short, I’m thrilled you’ve joined as a new psychic! Please lend us your support!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This experiment will succeed!” Zhen Gu spoke through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the registration of Trainer data in this project is limited only to those who’ve previously recorded their information on a specific device. Trainers without such records needn’t worry about their data entering the dream world—it’s just my concept. But that device—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unfortunately, the development of Device C has stalled—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Device C’s future is bright!” Maitu blurted out, then immediately clamped her mouth shut again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Gu: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “Cough. I’d like to ask specifically—has Champion Adak contacted you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Champion Adak? Oh! Now that you mention it—he did say someone asked him to find a place called Lianruzhisen, and that it might be connected to dreams! Could that be you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Gu was startled: “He said that person lived far away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “Yes. I come from Shen Du.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Du was unknown to everyone—Zhen Gu, Maitu, and Professor Rowan exchanged glances and shook their heads, indicating they had no knowledge of the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to know where Shen Du is. I’m the person who asked Mr. Adak for help. I came here to enter Lianruzhisen. No one can enter Lianruzhisen now—I’ll be brief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai looked at Professor Zhen Gu: “I’ve come to help you develop Device C. I’ve studied mechanics and electromagnetic waves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? You’re also a mechanic and an electromagnetic signal specialist?” Professor Rowan’s confusion deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, how many identities do you even have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it’s art, machinery, electromagnetic devices, or any other role—all serve the purpose of crafting items. Ultimately, they’re all ‘objects.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And my dream… well, my former dream was to have my products spread across the region. Now? I want to obtain all the crafting knowledge in this world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai tossed a die. It landed on the floor and instantly unfolded a small umbrella-like radar cover, instantly blocking all electromagnetic signals from Zhen Gu’s Dream Machine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! The machine! What is this little thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An electromagnetic shield,” Guang Tai replied. “A mechanical item I created that blocks all electromagnetic signals—used to prevent tracking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through this, you can directly see my mechanical expertise. I have a vital companion in that forest—I must help you. Only you can help me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhen Gu’s stunned expression, Guang Tai threw another bomb:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream power is real. If you want to feel it, try it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai threw out a Poké Ball. A blue puppy emerged from white light, its ears fluttering as green Lianru energy surged from its hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Dr. Jingu saw an incredible scene within that wave of aura!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was that just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion before Dr. Jingu faded, but she felt no fear—instead, she bounced excitedly on her toes right where she stood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, Dr. Jingu loved jumping around to express her joy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw a tree—I felt like it was watching me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A tree?” Dr. Rowan couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the Linking Tree—the ancient will of Unova incarnate. It does not exist in this physical world,” Guang Tai explained, then pressed on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lilevel has a special aura granted by the Linking Tree. It can help you develop the C Device—just synchronize your aura with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Linking World is connected to the Dream World. So once you build the C Device, you can enter both the Dream World and the Linking World at once—and the item needed to enter the Dream World is Dream Mist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To obtain that mist, you need a Pokémon called Dream Eater. It evolves from Sableye, but requires a special item: the Moon Stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, wait!” Jingu waved her hands frantically. “You’ve told me too much—I can’t process it all! Unova’s will, the Linking Tree, aura, Dream Mist—I don’t understand any of this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—I need to sort this out properly! Phew. In short, first explain what ‘aura’ is, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity sparkled in Dr. Jingu’s eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This psychic seemed different from all the others she’d met before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange, Jingu—you don’t know what aura is?” Dr. Rowan frowned, then turned to Guang Tai. “You said earlier your Lilevel has aura from the stars—so what’s this Linking aura?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “My Lilevel possesses three auras.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woo!” Lilevel nodded proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be gifted aura by the Linking Tree and the Celestial Heavens was the highest honor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three?!” Dr. Rowan stared at the blue-haired puppy. “Usually, only Lucario can master aura. Lilevel can merely sense ripples—it’s incredible! I’m even more eager to study your Pokémon now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The same Pokémon, under different conditions, can not only evolve into regional forms but also develop vastly different abilities! This has profound implications for my Origin Theory! Sorry—please continue explaining aura.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Rowan waved apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Jingu was already dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aura is the spiritual energy present in every living being—the very source of their consciousness. Some humans can sense aura and become its messengers. There have been aura messengers who saved the world—they are called Heroes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among Pokémon, Lilevel and its evolved form Lucario can use the move Aura Sphere—that’s aura made tangible and launched as an attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every living being’s aura is unique, and manifests as entirely different colors in the outside world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aura can survey the environment, detect minds, enable telepathy, perceive and penetrate objects, project aura, create offensive energy orbs and defensive barriers, and even transfer aura to others, granting them life and strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lilevel has three auras because it was gifted power by both the Linking Tree and the Celestial Heavens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Rowan suddenly understood: “So that’s why—when we faced Deoxys—you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “No, that power of mine isn’t aura—but it’s very similar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To obtain aura, you must first make your exhibit wildly popular across Unova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then can you receive the “Aura of Time” through the Ripples of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, so it’s basically a super powerful psychic ability? Sounds awesome—like something out of a novel. Way cooler than ordinary psychic powers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songlu’s understanding was simple and clear. She tried to pat the blue-haired puppy, but Lilevel dodged nimbly—leaving Songlu disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me pet you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awo!” The blue-haired puppy waved its paw, firmly refusing the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “Then there’s the Linking Tree—an ancient tree said to embody the collective will and heart of Unova. The stronger the will of Unova’s life, the stronger the Linking Tree becomes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to build the C Device and connect all Trainers together, you must gain the Linking Tree’s aid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has been your Unova’s elder since ancient times, watching over all life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai’s words sounded exactly like a missionary’s sermon—even the Linking Tree itself felt proud, though it also felt ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you mean “watching over all life since ancient times”? Since its will shattered and its body was destroyed, all it could do was spy—nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, perhaps it was precisely the phrase “I can do nothing” that triggered the keyword—and that’s why Guang Tai appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The forest has its own will. I’ve heard stories like this from the elders…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Rowan thought of his father—Old Dr. Rowan had also studied archaeology, and held a natural reverence for Unova’s ancient relics and forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, Dream Mist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai looked at Dr. Rowan. “I thought research on Dream Eater had already been completed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Rowan shook his head vigorously. “Impossible. Researching Pokémon—understanding their behavior, analyzing their types, observing their moves—is merely surface-level. Even that takes years of painstaking study.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know Sableye evolves into Dream Eater, but this Pokémon is extremely rare. Dream Mist is too important to study casually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it evolves with a Moon Stone? No wonder I could never find any information about its evolution—I only guessed the two Pokémon were related by appearance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Guang Tai realize one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things that seem obvious to outsiders of the game are incomprehensible to those living within this world. Researchers spend long years classifying and studying even a single Pokémon—especially when that Pokémon is far stranger than ordinary animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Classifying ordinary animals or reconstructing fossils takes decades. How much longer would it take to understand a new Pokémon, especially one with the extraordinary ability to evolve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Guang Tai continued explaining about Dream Mist:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream Eater is believed to share an ancestor with Hypno. It constantly naps and dreams, and can materialize the dreams it consumes—Dream Mist rising from its forehead brims with countless dreams of humans and Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This mist changes color and takes shape according to the content of the dreams it eats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it consumes a nightmare, black mist rises from its head—and the nightmare becomes real.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nightmare becomes real?” As Guang Tai recalled Dream Eater’s lore, he suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lives trapped in nightmares, as Cresselia said…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Pokémon tied to nightmares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sableye in Seven Gems City that devoured Miss Zitan’s dream…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right—it was Dream Eater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Seven Gems City incident was caused by residual power from Khe’s spirit and Deoxys’s nightmare…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the other nightmare-related event—the Dream Bridge Girl incident—perhaps the nightmare caused by Darkrai was eaten by Dream Eater, and then became real, killing the girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai fell silent, lost in thought—leaving the three doctors utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dr. Jingu immediately snapped back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, if we get Dream Mist, we can use it with the C Device to enter the Dream World! I didn’t realize Sableye’s and Dream Eater’s mist effects were so different!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no one knew the Moon Stone could trigger its evolution, the Dream Research Institute had only studied the ordinary dream mist exhaled by Sableye—but that mist merely displayed dreams, and couldn’t access any special world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, after evolution, everything changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the C Device currently faces many technical problems beyond aura and dream entry, those can all be overcome with technological breakthroughs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s head to the Dream Ruins now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to catch Dream Eater!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3224,"2026-06-19T14:14:17.420Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5c75348a3839b931145688571352cedb3fd1bc11a4d963d1128df8dbacda96c9","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-249","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-247",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
