Chapter 42: Dream Spirit Realm

"Please command, I will do my best to fulfill your request."

After a short period of contact, the newborn Hypnos had realized that pretending to be a well-behaved and obedient character seemed to be useless, so he decisively changed his attitude.

"Do you see what this is?"

Looking around, Hypnos carefully observed his surroundings. First of all, there is the figure that radiates light, and he can easily distinguish the identity of the other party, a regional god born from the 'mountain'.

But to his surprise, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly.

"This is also a dream," said Hypnos affirmatively, "a 'real dream' that has escaped from its master." ”

It's a dream, but it's more than that. Normal dreams are based on the spirit of living beings, and when the owner wakes up, the dream will be shattered. But Hypnos could tell that the dream in front of him had been disconnected from its owner.

The power of the spirit world is combined with it, and it gradually becomes 'real'. Even if its owner wakes up, it can still continue.

"Yes, it's half a 'real dream.'"

Nodding, Ryan smiled and said:

"This is a man's dream, and he is receiving a reward from the gods, which is his greatest wish. Because the world he has been active in is only so large, the size of this dream fragment is also fixed. In his eyes, the gods are supreme, so the gods in the dream have no true faces. ”

"There are many more dreams like this. And what I'm going to ask you to do is to 'smelt', 'reshape', and then 'splic' these dreams together. ”

With a wave of his hand, the scene in front of him instantly shrank. In an instant, the dream fragment within a radius of a hundred miles turned into a transparent bubble.

Around the two of them, thousands of bubbles swirled and disappeared. These are the dreams of intelligent life on the earth for hundreds of years.

Some of the protagonists are humans, more are beasts, and even Hypnos sees a few regional gods. They are stacked on top of each other, intertwining with the power of the spirit world.

The stronger the owner of the dream, the greater the power of the corresponding fragments, and vaguely, in the dreams of some gods, Hypnos even felt signs of life.

It was a new life similar to his three thousand dream spirits, but they were by no means the same.

"Real dreams are the best material for order and chaos."

Turning to look at the sleeping god on the side, Ryan opened up some of the third-level spirit realm permissions to him.

The time and space of the spiritual realm are more chaotic the further you go. But at the same time, the further you go, the more 'spacious' the law becomes.

For powerful spirits, the shallow spirit realm can give them a feeling of oppression, and it is not conducive to their continued growth.

Over the years, most of the self-generated beings in the spirit world, the life souls who died because of the war of the gods in the outside world, have been piled up in the first and second layers of the spirit world, and some have even given birth to primitive social structures. Many of them have become powerful and have gradually mastered extraordinary powers.

So Ryan had been thinking about what kind of things could exist stably in the chaotic space-time, and give the shallow spirits a chance to adapt to the process of order to chaos.

Undoubtedly, dreams were the answer he ultimately chose.

"You mean you want me to turn dreams into the cornerstone of this interface. Even to make its main body take shape, with the ability to absorb dreams on its own and turn into a part of itself? ”

Feeling the interface permissions open to him, Hypnos asked.

"Yes." Ryan nodded: "Dreams are based on reality, but they are beyond reality, and it naturally symbolizes the process of transformation from order to chaos. ”

"Dreams that are closer to the present world make it a part of the second layer that is close to the spiritual world. The dreams were too bizarre, so they were built close to the fourth level of the spirit realm. ”

"Even the dreams of some powerful beings have power in themselves, and when they are constructed as part of the spirit world, under the influence of spiritual breath, some special spirit life can be born."

As he spoke, Ryan's thoughts drifted a little. For a moment, he thought of some dark fairy tales he had seen in his previous life.

Serious fairy tales cannot exist, after all, in dreams, the logic of human behavior is closer to doing what you want.

Coupled with the chaotic time and space in the spirit world, Ryan didn't think that any 'good spirits' could be born here.

"I will do your bidding, Father."

Bowing his head slightly, Hypnos whispered his obedience.

Although below the fifth level of the Spirit Realm seemed a bit 'small' for a true god-level existence like him, he had no intention of refusing.

Hypnos was not an existence like Ikripps, he knew how to restrain his power and overcome his instincts. What's more, he didn't feel that Ryan was discussing with himself at all.

"Very well, then do it. Lyannaβ€”"

Nodding, Ryan called out to the Goddess of the Moon.

"I'm here, Your Highness."

As always, the black clothes turned from virtual to real, and Lyanna quickly responded to Ryan's call.

"He is the new god I created, Hypnos. For some time to come, he will be responsible for building the third level of the spirit realm. ”

"She's Lyanna, my deputy. When I wasn't there, there was anything to ask her. ”

The three moons hang in the sky, and today, it is the turn of the moon of the third spiritual realm to illuminate the outside world.

After introducing the two of them separately, looking at the goddess of the dark moon who has been conscientiously taking care of the spiritual world for himself in the past few hundred years, Ryan also felt a little emotional.

Even when he was still in the spirit realm, he was often busy operating the rules and digesting the source power. In fact, the affairs of the spirit world have always been handled by Lyanna.

The vast majority of spirit beings have never even seen Ryan. As they called him, 'Great Ancient Spirit Will', in their view, Lane's existence was just a legend, and Lyanna was the ruler of the spirit realm.

"Lyanna."

"Huh?"

The goddess in the black dress looked up, and she met Ryan's eyes. For thousands of years, some of the [elemental] origins absorbed by the spirit world were converging and forming in his hands, intertwining with the spirit into a multi-faceted crystal.

The power of [Elemental] is very special, it does not seem to have a superior priesthood in the true sense. Just like the Earth Elemental, it is also influenced by the priesthood of Earth, Mountain, Celestial, Magical, and Sorcery, but it is not completely subordinate to anyone.

And it is interesting to note that although in Kaos Darkness is stronger than Light, Life is far greater than Death, and Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire are not equal, the power of the elements is not.

They face each other in pairs, maintaining a dynamic equilibrium that seems to be completely unaffected by the strength of authority.

And [magic] is a wonderful acquired product. It is the result of the refining of the elements by the spirit of intelligent life, and its own power is not constant. The purer the spirit of its existence, the more powerful the magic becomes.

This is the power that already belongs to the master of the [Stygian Moon], but now, it will be subordinate to the new master of the [Stygian Moon].

"Lyanna, this is [magic]." Ryan smiled and said, "It will become your own moonshine." ”

Strictly speaking, although Lyanna was previously called the Goddess of the Stygian, she was actually only in charge of the concept of the Stygian Moon.

Because the Hades Moon does not really exist at this time, it is a projection of the spiritual world in the underworld, and its moonlight is also illuminated by the seven quarters of the moon in the spiritual world in turn.

But from now on, the Hades Moon will also have its own moonlight.

"Serving you is the purpose of my existence."

As the new faceted crystals melted into her body, Lyanna's aura became a lot thicker. Her divine power has not changed, but the ceiling has been raised again.

Not surprisingly, as the underworld expands further, the threshold of powerful divine power will also open to her. Even judging from the particularity of the Stygian Moon in the Underworld, Lyanna may soon step into the realm of powerful divine power.

At the same time, the cold light in the underworld has also changed. The silvery-white light turned into a dark purple hue, and an invisible power spread.

Under such light, the corpses of some of those who had been taken to the underworld but had died for various reasons trembled faintly. Gradually, they seem to give birth to new souls and burn in the form of flames.

Soul fires, that's their name. When the fire is extinguished, it means that the rebirth of the undead is also coming to an end.
