Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 957

Of course, it wasn't about sneaking around and doing something underhanded; even a mere Black Iron-level kobold wouldn't have that ability.

However, since the opponent can casually produce a Bronze-level Shadow Assassin's Path of Cultivation, they might have even higher-level Paths of Cultivation in their possession...

The dog-headed creature was perfectly clear in its mind that, given its origins, it was already incredibly lucky to have obtained a Black Iron-level professional inheritance.

If you want to go further in your career, you can't let any opportunity slip by.

The mysterious shop owner before them was the kobold's target. It had carefully observed him along the way and knew that his identity was definitely not simple, and he could even produce a gold-level professional inheritance.

If someone of this status were in the outside world, they probably wouldn't even be qualified to meet him.

If it wants to obtain a more advanced professional legacy, the other party is definitely the best choice.

Finally, he discovered that the other party also owned a magical shop, so the kobold went there specifically to try it out and, incidentally, to get closer to them.

Unexpectedly, his whereabouts were discovered at a glance, and his every move was observed.

"Shopkeeper... I just want to try it out." The kobold quickly changed the subject.

As a professional with a certain status, the kobold naturally lived a good life in the outside world. However, when he came to this place and encountered an even more powerful being, he couldn't help but feel flustered.

"it is good!"

Lu Yunhe didn't care about the kobolds changing the subject. He had seen this kind of thing many times before. Those who didn't have any special abilities or cheat codes would grasp at any possibility as if it were a lifeline.

The cultivation world is full of ups and downs, and there are not many such beings.

Lu Yunhe then led the kobolds inside, where ancient-looking gates were embedded in the walls.

Game arena... Probe tower... Training room... Battle arena... Scene customization...

The kobold glanced at it; these things were all very simple and easy to understand. The main question was whether training in this dream could really be reflected in reality.

"It's just a virtual simulation. It can reduce some of the time spent on repetitive and experiential training, but it can't be fed back into the real body."

Lu Yunhe immediately saw through the dog-headed man's thoughts. In fact, giving back to reality was not impossible, but the price to pay was too high and not proportional at all.

"I see!"

The kobold was somewhat disappointed. It really thought it had encountered some incredible opportunity, just like in the stories and novels, but it turned out to be a common one.

"You can try it first!"

Lu Yunhe didn't say much. The threshold for virtual reality technology is very low, but to reach a high level is another matter entirely.

Since it was created by him, it is naturally incomparable to those virtual technologies from the outside world.

"As the first customer to arrive, I'll give you a special discount," Lu Yunhe said.

The kobold then entered the training room, and instantly a mechanical voice rang out.

"Time travel function activated: time flow rate 1:100".

Upon hearing this voice, the dog-headed man was instantly filled with shock.

The extent to which this training room could achieve, in particular, made it impossible for it to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Only when the light of consciousness could no longer withstand it did the kobolds have no choice but to return to reality.

Then it was discovered that its cultivation in the dream had been brought back in perfect clarity.

Although there is a slight physical mismatch, as long as the boy has this experience, he can grasp it with a little training.

"Incredible!" the kobold exclaimed. Then, looking at its many people and the surrounding cave environment, it secretly vowed that one day it would lead its people out of this world.

……

"Still ignorant!"

Lu Yunhe watched the kobold leave, visibly excited, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

They were shocked by this little thing, which shows they were used to a life of hardship.

It's just training in a virtual world, so the efficiency is still too low.

If one specializes in the art of fantasy, one can directly devour the memories and dreams of others, and directly plunder their experience. With the right level of cultivation, one can achieve a one-to-one acceptance.

Just like Moqi, if he were to use his Dream Devouring talent on a slightly weaker cultivator, he could completely devour and absorb all of the cultivator's cultivation experience from his entire life.

There are even more domineering paths: the Path of Devouring, the Path of Incarnation...

For beings with slightly greater power, virtual universes are merely tools for information exchange, and their practical significance is not great.

The same applies to Lu Yunhe, but he isn't actually building a VR simulation store.

The most advanced technology in virtual universes is not simply simulating the external world.

Lu Yunhe sat in the most important position in the shop, and the rules of the virtual universe gradually seeped into the outside world.

When it merges into the dream dimension, it expands at a speed of millions of times.

"The God of Dreams—Modiwus!"

Lu Yunhe placed the statue of the God of Dreams on the counter, mobilizing the primal consciousness of the divine beast, using it as the core and the origin of the virtual universe.

Although it is a virtual within a virtual world, it still needs a real-world basis as its foundation.

“Indeed, it is not as good as the Void Realm Dao!” Lu Yunhe continued to use the power of the Dream Dao.

If the Path of the Void is a yin-yang balance of reality and illusion in a one-to-one ratio, then the Path of Dreams is one to nine, with the illusory part accounting for far too much. However, the crucial element of reality, as one, plays a vital role.

This unbalanced division also forces the Path of Dreams to go to extremes.

Although all three thousand paths can lead to enlightenment, the differences and gaps between them are considerable.

Upon reaching the Legendary Realm, Lu Yunhe was considered to have entered the gate of the Dream Path, and had gained a completely new understanding of this fundamental path.

"Fortunately, I don't need to get stuck on this original path."

Lu Yunhe was not bothered by the fact that he had noticed some flaws or limitations of the Path of Dreams. As long as he could cultivate to the ultimate realm, he would have already completed the task of this original path.

If you lower your expectations, as long as you can grasp even one aspect of it, that's good enough.

The virtual dream world is silently expanding into the entire dream dimension, extending into the vast space while continuously penetrating the depths of the dream.

Although it is a dream dimension, it also has its own origin.

Having finally found such a good place, Lu Yunhe naturally wouldn't let it go, unleashing various encrypted secret techniques in conjunction with the expansion of the virtual dream world.

Jingle bells!

The wind chimes at the door rang, and a graceful figure pushed open the door and walked in.

Her blue hair was slightly curled at the ends, her purple eyes revealed both innocence and allure, her elfin ears were adorned with floral ornaments, and she wore a thick pinkish-purple top that revealed her fair thighs, creating a striking contrast.

The pale purple tail wrapped around its thighs was particularly eye-catching.

Lu Yunhe sized up the newcomer. Hmm, it was the real deal, not something deliberately fabricated.

Is the shop owner here?

A soft voice rang out, and the woman, holding a round fan, stared intently at Lu Yunhe.

"Didn't you already see it?" Lu Yunhe said speechlessly, but a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

"The main character has finally arrived!" Lu Yunhe thought to himself, but his face remained completely expressionless.

"Just kidding." The woman smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the other person's attitude, and said in a very familiar tone, "Hello, shopkeeper, my name is Mengxi."

"It's the owner of the 'Fountain of the Soul' shop across the street. I came back this time and found that I have another neighbor, so I came to patronize their business."

"The Fountain of the Soul!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. He had chosen the address casually, but unexpectedly, he opened a shop right across the street. Perhaps it was a connection of fate.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the statue of the God of Dreams on the counter. This fate was naturally not his, but that of his clone.

Although there is no law of aggregation of extraordinary beings here, there is indeed a mysterious attraction between many fundamental paths.

Not many, and only occasionally there are some stirrings, but in this world of Fangyuan, due to the special nature of the professional system, this connection is strengthened.

After all, the number of true god positions in this world is limited, and the supreme god at the very top must occupy an independent primordial path.

As for "Fountain of the Soul," it is a well-regarded psychotherapy clinic in Dream City that specializes in helping people resolve their emotional problems.

After all, even the most outstanding professionals, with the highest level of spiritual attainment, are not immune to various problems.

For example, Lu Yunhe's mind is definitely messed up compared to his original self.

However, it is also influenced by the environment and subsequent choices. After all, there is no lifespan limit, and the mind built up by experience is easily affected by time.

Of course, matters of the mind are far too complex, and the healing methods of the Fountain of the Mind only provide temporary relief and cannot address the root cause of the problem.

However, for practitioners, even just relieving mental fatigue has a significant effect.

"So you're my neighbor. Just call me Sky Mo." Lu Yunhe laughed. "I've always been curious about my neighbor and wanted to try out psychological therapy, but I've been too busy since I opened the shop and haven't had the chance."

"Skyscraper!"

Mengxi murmured the name to herself, her round fan slightly obscuring half of her face.

"Mengxi welcomes the Skyscraper Shop owner anytime. The Fountain of the Soul has an excellent reputation on this street, and you certainly won't be disappointed..."

After saying that, Mengxi glanced at the long elephant trunk that stretched into the shop on the other side and couldn't help but smile.

"Store Manager, are you also a Dream Eater?" Mengxi asked curiously.

"Master, she should be a Dream Eater," Moqi transmitted his voice from outside the door.

As members of the same species, the Dream Eater and the Dream Eater share a bloodline connection.

"Eat dreams!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. It seemed that this branch that separated from the Dream Eater Beast clan had also continued to take root in the Path of Dreams and had gone very far on this path.

If the creator of this dream city beneath our feet is a dream-eating tapir, then that would be quite normal.

In the main world, Dream Eaters are highly sought after, not only because of their noble bloodline, but also because their abilities can effectively help professionals purify their minds and reduce the influence of distracting thoughts.

After all, a professional path prioritizes ritual over self, making it more susceptible to the influence of one's original profession. This is especially true for those who embark on a path of gathering people or begin to engage with faith, as they are inevitably influenced by various ways of thinking.

The Dream Eater can help professionals devour this interference from external consciousness. After all, even weaker true gods have to worry about the pollution of faith power.

Unfortunately, such rare beasts are rarely encountered in the main world; they are mostly hidden away. You might occasionally run into some in the dream dimension.

"No, I guess I'd say I'm human." Lu Yunhe shook his head. In this world, he would be considered an extraterrestrial demon or a divine beast.

"The Dream Eater outside is my subordinate. After subduing it, I came to this dream dimension to broaden my horizons." Lu Yunhe didn't try to hide anything.
