Chapter 344: Dreamworld Crossing

Ah?

Zhao Si, who had just finished giving assistance, let Lin Six's divine display unfold, leaving him barely able to react; only after careful thought did he finally realize:

"This is... Eternal Primordial?"

In the dream world there are no Demon Race; this has been known for a long time, and the "people" with animal traits that Lin Six is currently encountering are obviously Demon Race.

Combining the Demon Race's linguistic information, Zhao Si can basically conclude that this cannot be the dream world, and it is highly likely to be a certain place in the "Eternal Primordial"! But… how did Lin Six suddenly run to the Eternal Primordial?

Zhao Si's mind shifted: "It should be the effect of Pangu's Endowment!"

Pangu's Endowment, as stated in its user manual, already made its use very clear: simply put, it allows an ordinary person to instantly possess Pangu's divine power, and under the empowerment of that divine power, all spells, illusions, treasures… completely fail.

This is the result of matter subduing consciousness, hence it is called One Force Breaks Myriad Laws!

And the dream world, frankly speaking, is not a material existence; essentially it is a dream jointly created by the nine sages.

Since a dream is a product of consciousness, Lin Six, empowered by Pangu's divine power, directly broke through the dream and arrived at the relatively real Eternal Primordial!

In theory, this makes sense.

But…

Zhao Si furrowed his brows: "Doesn't that mean Lin Six has already cleared the level?!"

In the previous round, Patriarch Bodhi said that the Eternal Primordial faces an apocalyptic crisis entirely because Lin Six was born in the dream world; wherever his anchor point is, that side exists, so he caused a bug.

And now Lin Six has directly broken out of the dream—does that indicate he has already cleared the level?

"Something's fishy…"

Zhao Si, who knows the system's temperament well, frowned tighter and tighter:

The damn system went to all this trouble just to give itself a fourth chapter, the process was horribly complicated… but in the end it discovered that all it needed to do was directly send the reward from the previous chapter to him, and he could clear the level…

That's somewhat overkill!

If it were really that simple, why not just use the Red Form from the start… use Pangu's Endowment and be done with it? Why make Lin Six suffer pointlessly for two lifetimes?

"This definitely isn't right…"

Knowing the system's temperament well, Zhao Si decided to first wait and see, to find out exactly what situation Lin Six is in…

…

【Your bizarre 'transmigration' frightened you so much that the composure of your two previous lives couldn't keep you steady… Faced with a bunch of non-human beings whose details you know nothing about, your first reaction is to flee!】

【But you are only three years old in this life, and currently just an ordinary fisherman's child—how could you possibly outrun a bunch of non-human beings?】

【Thus you were almost immediately caught…】

【Faced with unknown threats, your thoughts raced and you quickly decided on a countermeasure.】

【Feign ignorance!】

【After being caught, you remained silent and squatted on the ground; this scene quickly attracted the attention of passersby… Everyone curiously gathered to watch.】

【"A human child? In our poor, remote backwater, where would a human come from?"】

【"No… something's off, it feels different from the humans I've seen before… and he even lacks any aura of magical power."】

【"Could he possibly be from the Asura Clan? After all, they look humanoid…"】

【"Where are his parents? How could they just abandon a child here?"】

【The onlookers chattered away, and although you'd never heard this language before, you strangely understood it—and because you understood, you breathed a sigh of relief: it seems these 'people' harbor no ill intent…】

【So then, it's best to actively cooperate.】

【"Kid, which province are you from?"】

【Faced with the city officials' kindly inquiry, you thought blankly for a moment and gave a vague answer…】

【"Born from my mother…"】

【City officials:?】

【Demons:?】

【What a pure and innocent answer, it carries a sense of innocence untouched by knowledge contamination…】

【…】

【Next, you continue to feign ignorance, while also secretly gathering information under the guise of stupidity.】

【After all, although your body has shrunk, your mind remains sharp…】【Detective Online!】

【Through your indirect probing, plus the demons' unconscious information leakage, you gradually pieced together the basic information of this place: this is not the dream world you know, but… the Eternal Primordial!】

【Yes, it's exactly the Eternal Primordial you've been dreaming of!】

【Upon realizing this most important piece of information, you simply could not contain your joy and excitement: your biggest problem, which had been troubling you, was actually resolved so easily…】

【"Pangu's Endowment, truly miraculous!"】

【Overjoyed, you repeatedly felt gratitude in your heart toward that 'other self' of yours.】

【Your biggest problem was being in the dream world rather than the Eternal Primordial; now, with the support of Pangu's divine power, you have quietly achieved ascension, and the Eternal Primordial naturally becomes your anchor to reality, so you no longer need to fear the apocalypse.】

【After thousands of thoughts, this perfect settlement has been achieved… it truly feels like a dream!】

【You can't help but daydream about the future: since the biggest bug-level problem has been solved, at most you're just missing the salvation of the dream world's beings.】

【And saving them is actually very simple: as long as you reveal your identity to the Eternal Primordial, you can quickly meet high-ranking figures of the Heavenly Court, thereby causing the dreaming sages to bring all beings awake from the dream… At that point, you will have become the hero who saved both worlds!】

【The more you thought, the more excited you became, so you stood up and said to the demons: "I am…"】

…

"What is it? Hurry up and get out of bed! The sun's already scorching your backside!"

Accompanied by a familiar female voice, the demons before Lin Six scattered in an instant, and the scenery of heaven and earth swiftly faded…

Mother's silhouette gradually emerged, her face full of displeasure as she looked at her son spouting nonsense:

"I told you to sleep early and rise early, but you insist on staying in bed and even spouting dream talk…"

Lin Six sat up from the bed, dazed, looked around in confusion, and only then was certain he was at home.

I have neither gone to any Eternal Primordial Wasteland nor seen any Primordial Wasteland Demon Race; those were merely my own dreams……

Is it a dream?

Lin Liu scratched their head in a daze:

If it were a dream, then this dream is too lifelike, to the point that I can even recall the appearance details of those Demon Race members, as well as various things utterly unlike anything I've seen or heard……

Hurry up and get up! Your followers have come to play with you!

Mother scolded a couple more sentences, then turned and left the son's room.

Seeing this, the bewildered Lin Liu could only temporarily set aside that dream‑that‑wasn't‑a‑dream, and first get up and talk later……

Wait!

Lin Liu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly searched left and right, finally finding within their body: a small sandplate glowing with a crimson light, silently drifting within their sea of consciousness……

Looking at this small sandplate, Lin Liu couldn't help but frown:

He recalled that the reason for his earlier dream was this aid from 'another self'.

At that time, I was……

Lin Liu's eyes shifted, and with a tentative mindset, he once again activated the small sandplate according to the instructions.

Thus this time he saw clearly: at the instant the small sandplate was activated, a point of red light burst forth, as if heaven and earth were being split apart! At the same moment, he found himself in an expansive realm……

【After many trials, you finally managed to grasp the specific functions of this powerful artifact named 'Pangu's Possession'!】

【For you, at the instant you activate it, you will enter the 'Eternal Primordial Wasteland' in dream form; during the dream, your true body will enter a sleeping state…… Since it is dreaming, not truly traveling to the past, your true body will regain consciousness when disturbed, thereby allowing you to escape the Eternal Primordial Wasteland!】

【As for why you have verified this principle?】

【The main reason is that this morning you were repeatedly awakened by your parents; each time you were awakened, their anger stacked another layer, and once it reached its limit, the way they woke you shifted from verbal scolding to sticks and slaps……】

【At such a young age, you've actually learned the bad habit of sleeping in, and you keep shouting 'sleep once, sleep again' despite repeated teachings…… This is no ordinary mischievous child; a heavy hand is needed!】

【Thus you happily received a combined parental double strike, making up for the regret of not having been beaten in your previous two lives……】

【Of course, getting beaten is worth it!】

【By this you have verified that 'Pangu's Possession' is truly useful, although it currently cannot help you achieve your major wish of fixing bugs, but at least you have seen hope.】

【In this life, you have seen a glimmer of hope that you never saw in your previous two lives!】
