Mu You woke up from his slumber.

Overhead, a pale red sky, and under the eeriely colored canopy, spiraling clouds replace the white clouds and blue sky, resembling Van Gogh's famous starry sky paintings, which quickly stir and merge in the low altitude in a very abstract way.

Sitting up and glancing at it, he was in an emerald green land, with a sparse forest in the distance, but the trees growing in the forest were not normal trees, but dead trees with twisted shapes and knots, which were very unharmonious, not so much trees, but more like 'monsters' who were waving their teeth and claws to deter people.

What's even more weird is that there are a large number of transparent balls floating on the earth.

The balls vary in size, from the largest being the size of a basketball to the smallest being the size of a glass marble, and the only thing they are the same is that all of them are playing some sort of dynamic image like a soothsayer's crystal ball.

"That's what it is...... Dreamland? Mu You was slightly surprised.

The environment here is very different from what he imagined, because the backpack space is full of beautiful scenes, causing him to subconsciously think that the dream world is also a similar scene.

As a result, the real dream world has a completely different style of painting, and it is more like a fairy tale world scribbled by children with crayons than the real one, and it is a dark version......

Xiao Ya and Lin Xue also woke up beside him at this time, the three of them were only wearing a very simple layer of fabric, and their own clothes, equipment, storage rings, and even the magic spells in their heads, divine power, were all gone.

"Yes, this is the dream world."

Vivien's familiar voice rang out, and with the flapping of her wings, the crow landed in the treetops ahead, looking at the somewhat disheveled trio below.

"Don't be nervous, your strength and equipment are not gone, but you have not yet manifested them in your dreams."

"Embodyed?"

"Concentrate and mentally imagine what you have and what you can do, the more specific the details, the better, but only if it's something you own in reality."

Vivian reminded that seeing that the three of them were looking at each other blankly, she comforted: "Don't worry, you won't be comfortable just coming in, just get familiar with it...... Good ......"

Before Vivien could finish her sentence, she couldn't continue.

Because she had already seen that Mu You's complete clothes and equipment quickly appeared.

Followed by Lin Xue, who also completely recovered the state of the outside world after closing her eyes for a few seconds.

"It seems that theocracy can also manifest ......"

Mu You looked at his hands thoughtfully, and suddenly his right hand was drawn forward in the shape of a hand knife.

A miniature crescent moon sword qi took shape, fluttering across the grass, hitting a dead tree in the distance, and the victim's dead tree was cut to pieces in a burst of white light, and disappeared on the spot.

"Magic can be ...... too"

Lin Xue watched Mu You's actions, grabbed in the void, and a magic wand appeared in her hand, and with the wave of the wand, a water ball floated out and exploded in front of her, and the air nearby instantly became mist.

"Uh, what you don't have with you can be embodied?"

Mu You looked at the bag of cat food that appeared in his hand, his eyes were strange, and he opened it and tasted a few grains.

"There's no taste, it's just a product of pure fantasy...... But it seems that it can be used to fill the stomach here. ”

Lin Xue on the other side also tried it, but there was no cat food in his hand.

"It seems that not everything can be manifested, only what belongs to oneself can be manifested."

Cat food is the goods of the pet store, and before the goods are sold, the ownership belongs to Mu You, the 'store manager'.

"What about pets?"

"It doesn't seem to work, no living thing can manifest ......"

"But summoned magical creatures can ......"

……

Vivian looked at the two of them, and in just a few minutes, she had basically figured out the rules of the dream realm, and suddenly felt redundant.

You must know that it was the first time she came in, but it took a whole day to get used to the rules here......

Fortunately, Xiaoya, who was not far away, was still in a hurry at the moment, Mu You and Lin Xue were already dressed in god costumes, and she had just carried out the steps of showing her clothes.

Seeing Xiaoya's clumsy appearance, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief, this is what a normal person should be.

Fortunately, it's not that she can't keep up with the changes of the times, but that these two people are too demonic......

"Don't worry, do as I say......"

Vivian began to concentrate on teaching Xiao Ya the guidance she had originally intended for the three of them, and it took more than an hour for Xiao Ya to finally familiarize Xiao Ya with the various embodied rules here.

"In short, it is not your real body that appears here, but a kind of spiritual condensed 'dream body', so don't worry if you accidentally die here, at most you will wake up in reality, and then you will not be able to enter here again for a short time."

"What about our being?"

"The main body is on the elf's side, it will be protected by the World Tree, and no one can hurt you until you wake up, unless someone takes the initiative to attack the World Tree, after our body is injured, we may be forcibly dragged out of the dream."

As she spoke, Vivien had already led the three of them into the depths of the dream.

Mu You passed by a ball of light floating on the side of the road, and curiously leaned over to take a look.

In the picture of the ball of light, a man is being chased by some kind of monster in the temple, panting for breath, rolling and crawling through the mountains and forests.

"These are 'dream balls', dreams that are going on by some creature in the outside world...... Theoretically, all the dreams of external creatures will be projected in real time somewhere in this world, forming a corresponding dream ball. Vivien explained.

The three of them looked around, and in all the balls of light around them, there were indeed dream pictures, sweet dreams, nightmares, dull dreams, and pleasant dreams...... There are all kinds of strange dreams, which can be called all kinds of things in the world.

The desires of all kinds of people's hearts are also vividly reflected in this ball of light.

The four of them watched the dream ball on the road all the way, silently moving forward, and some square-shaped barriers gradually began to appear along the road.

These barriers are a standard 100 meters in length, width and height, forming regular cubes on the earth.

The originally wide and flat dream world was cut apart by these abrupt cubes, and became a little messy, and some of the blocks were still connected together in a row, blocking their way like a great wall, and they could only detour.

"These blocks, shouldn't they be ......" Mu You looked at the shape of the cube and realized something.

"That's the backpack space." Vivien nodded: "It's just that these spaces have been cut out of the dream realm, from the virtual to the physical space, and our current dream state is unable to enter these places." ”

Really......

Mu You walked to a square and reached out to touch the barrier in front of him.

The interior of this invisible barrier is obscured by a hazy white mist, making it impossible to see the scene inside.

And they used to look out at the edge of the backpack space and see the same thing.

This kind of barrier that separates the virtual and the real can probably only be crossed by dream travelers like Mianmian.

"Huh?"

Just thinking about it, Mu You suddenly frowned, turned his head to look at the back, according to a square not far from them.

"Hidden? Come out. ”

With Mu You's shout, behind the square, a little girl walked out with a smile, scratching her head, and looking at a few people with some embarrassment.

"Didn't I leave you at home?" Mu You looked helplessly at the girl who walked out.

Of course, the one who can appear here is Mianmian.

"I'm at home, but I'll come here automatically as soon as I fall asleep, what can I do?" Mianmian spread her hands, her eyes wandering to find a reason.

As she spoke, a pink pig snorted and chirped out from behind her, arching its nose and sniffing around, and finally walked up to a dream ball that was playing nightmares, and its nose was raised, pressed against the surface of the light ball, and sucked hard.

The nightmare in the dream ball was suddenly sucked up, leaving only a pure and colorless ball of light.

The dream-eating tapir chewed as if it had eaten a delicious snack, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Yes, I usually have to be responsible for feeding the pigs, you don't care about it, if I didn't often bring it in to 'eat dreams', it would have starved to death." The little girl jumped and rode on the back of the dream-eating tapir, and suddenly became arrogant.

And the dream-eating tapir did not reject her, but seemed to have long been accustomed to her existence, like a tame mount, carrying the little girl aimlessly wandering in space.

"You really did it......" Mu You raised his eyebrows.

Hearing Riley say that there is a pink 'pig' that solves the mutation of the dream world, he guessed that it may be a dream tapir, because the time is just right, and the dream tapir appeared in the pet store three months ago.

This little guy has no other role than eating nightmares, and is regarded as a mascot by everyone, and no one usually cares about it, only Mianmian sticks to it every day.

Unexpectedly, the two little guys solved a disaster in the dream world silently.

"What did I do?" The little girl was a little dazed.

"Nothing, good job." Mu You touched her head and smiled and encouraged.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "So I can go on an adventure with you?" ”

Mu You hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, anyway, it is a dream world, and there will be no danger to life.

"Keep up, don't run around."

"I know, I know!" The little girl smiled happily, hurriedly patted the dream tapir, and rode the pig to keep up with the four of them.

Then Vivien took a few people to wander in the dream realm, and they walked all day.

Vivien did not take a straight line, but a route of nine turns and eighteen turns, and Mu You wondered if she was lost and was taking them in circles.

It wasn't until the evening a day later that Mu You suddenly realized that they had returned to the original point when they came in!

Sure enough, it's going around in circles......

But at the same time, a dense forest that had never been seen before unfolded in front of the eyes of several people.

"What is this?" Mu You looked at Vivien strangely, he was sure that this forest did not exist before.

"This is the Forest of Dreams, which you can understand as the 'moat' on the periphery of the Heart of Time, as long as you pass through this forest, you can reach the Heart of Time." Vivien said.

"How?" Mu You was curious about how they came here, could it be that this forest was here in the first place, but it had to go around in a circle to see it?

"Dream, theoretically a boundless world, its specific size depends on the number of living creatures in the world, the more creatures, the bigger the dream world will be."

"And in such a vast dream world, if you want to go to a specific place, of course, you can't rely on a pair of legs to find it." Vivien said.

"How do you ...... that?"

"If you want to go anywhere in your dream, you just need to keep thinking about this place in your mind, the clearer the details, the better, as long as you don't relax your attention halfway, within a day, this place will automatically appear in front of your eyes, and the specific length of time depends on the importance of this place."

"I see......"

Mu You understood, no wonder Vivian would take them around in circles, in the dream world there is actually no concept of getting lost at all, as long as you keep walking, you can even reach your destination sooner or later, regardless of the direction.

"It's ...... That's a lot of balls......"

Xiaoya walked to the front of the forest curiously, put her hand on the pergola, and looked in, and saw that the forest was densely packed with a large number of dream balls.

Mu You and Lin Xue had also discovered at this time that the density of dream balls in this forest was obviously much higher than that in other areas, and the forest was dark and deep, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance, giving people a sense of horror that there was no return.

"The reason why the 'dream balls' here are denser than other places is because it is close to the heart of time, and the dream balls in it not only have dreams that are in progress in real time, but also dreams from the past and even dreams from the future."

"In short, time in this forest is out of order. Any creature walks in, will randomly sink into someone else's dream, usually a nightmare, we need to find the owner of the dream in the dream, and then help him fulfill his wish, so that this nightmare becomes a sweet dream, in order to get out of the forest. Vivien said.

"So troublesome?" Mu You frowned when he heard this.

Not to mention the need to enter other people's dreams, but also to help the dream owner achieve his wish...... What if the owner of the dream is a pervert, and his wish is to destroy the world or something, when will it be fulfilled......

"This is a self-preservation mechanism of the Heart of Time, otherwise, if any creature can break into the Heart of Time, it should have been chaotic a long time ago." Vivien shook her head.

"Then what will happen if you fail to fulfill the dream master's wish?" Lin Xue asked at this time.

"You will be trapped until the dream owner finishes this dream, you will be kicked out of the dream realm, wake up directly, and then you will not be able to enter the dream world for a long time." Vivien said.

After speaking, seeing the solemn faces of the three people, she comforted again: "But don't worry, as far as I know, people who enter the Dream Forest for the first time will enter the dream realm of a person they are familiar with, and their wishes are generally not too difficult to achieve." ”

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, this is okay, people who know each other will generally know each other better, and it will not be too difficult to communicate.

Besides, with their current strength, they can do whatever they want in an ordinary dream, as long as they are not too unlucky, it should not be difficult to pass.

The only thing to note is that the time of the dream is random, it may be the person's past dreams, or future dreams, or even infant dreams, while the dreams of the same person at different stages of life can be very different. (End of chapter)
