Chapter 546 You and I are the same
Kong wasn't thinking about the dream like Xu Ning; he was more concerned about the safety of these people.
"What is consumed in constructing dreams? What harm does it cause to these people?"
Nasita reminded her, "Do you remember how the Council of the Church used the Void to harvest dreams and convert them into knowledge? This is the kind of power needed to construct real dreams."
Kong asked in surprise, "So, just like the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival, there must be a character similar to Nilu here, serving as the dream master of the entire Dream Network? But what kind of person could maintain such a massive network all this time?"
Xu Ning was so disturbed by Kong's noise that he couldn't remember the thought from before and could only turn his attention to the problem at hand.
"Perhaps someone has used the Void again? Or is this person from the Council of the Order, who is very familiar with the workings of the Void and has reconstructed something similar to the Void?"
Nasita frowned slightly. "The Void has been shut down and cannot be activated again; I'm certain of that. However, Xu Ning, you said that the person behind this dream is related to the Order of the Church and the Void, which should be true. Let's continue. As long as he appears in front of me, I will be able to recognize him immediately."
After passing through several dreamscapes, the group finally arrived at a relatively large place, which could be said to have recreated parts of Sumeru City.
The wide city streets are filled with happy people, seemingly ordinary, yet strangely real.
"It seems this is the end."
Nasita glanced around the street a few times and immediately drew a conclusion.
Xu Ning noticed that she kept observing the crowd around her and understood what was going on.
"How many of the people here are actually from the real world?"
Nasita said, "It accounts for nearly a third."
"That's quite a lot. It seems, as you said, we've really reached the end."
Xu Ning sighed and pointed to the people around him, "It seems that those who can come here have all completely embraced the dream. The situation is more serious than what we learned in Sumeru. If left unchecked, I'm afraid this place will continue to grow."
Nasida nodded and said, "That's true, but I won't let it go. I've found the 'Lord of Dreams'."
Xu Ning and the other person followed Naxi Da's footsteps and arrived in front of a flower shop.
The shop owner is a gentle and lovely girl. "I heard that playing music for flowers will make them grow very well, and it's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano."
The man sitting next to the girl, his eyes full of doting affection, smiled and said, "I've been a bit busy these past few days, but I'll find time to play for you. Let's entertain our guests first; it's actually the Grass God himself who's come to visit."
The girl quickly stood up to greet them, saying, "Lord Grass God, and your companions, hello. I am Emil, who runs this flower shop, and this is my husband, Mosain."
Mosain smiled and said, "I wonder what brings the Grass God here?"
Nasita shook her head slightly. "We should know each other very well, so let's stop acting, Mosaian. Or perhaps it would be more appropriate for me to call you 'Lord of Dreams'?"
"Haha, as expected of the Grass God. Emil, it seems the Grass God has taken a liking to my research project. I'll go out and talk to them, and I'll come back in a bit to help you tend to the flowers and plants."
Mosayin seemed completely unfazed by their arrival, walking towards the distant fountain with unusual ease. Xu Ning gave Kong a wink, signaling him to be on guard against a potential attack from their opponent.
"This is truly fascinating. You've managed to become an 'Irretrievable Lord of Dreams' while remaining so fully conscious. I'm quite impressed. How did you do that?"
Nasita observed the man in front of her, her face filled with barely suppressed curiosity.
Mosaian laughed heartily, "So you didn't know? After all, the answer is right before your eyes, Lord Grass God. Because of me, I dedicated all of reality to this dream! While the void was still in motion, I uploaded my entire consciousness into the void..."
Xu Ning hadn't expected this guy to be so daring, or rather, "crazy".
"Actually, I didn't intend to do this at first. I originally just planned to use a little bit of the power of the void to create a person with a sense of reality."
Mosain smiled and said, "The first work is Emil."
"The one at the florist?" Kong exclaimed in surprise, "You created her yourself?"
Mosayian nodded. “That’s right. She and I entered the Order of the Church together, went through the enrollment procedures together. We met six times that day. Later we fell in love, studied together, researched together, and progressed together. We were in sync, heart to heart.”
"However, her life was taken away by the disease 'Demonic Scales'."
Xu Ning glanced back at the flower shop. "So you create a dream world, then gather a bunch of fanatics like yourself, connect them into a network, just to provide information to Emil, using them as fuel for the entire world..."
Mosayin shook his head and laughed, "Don't portray me like a bad guy. This is a dream, not a prison. They can leave whenever they want, and I didn't stop them. Besides, I provided them with the most beautiful dream content. Everyone sleeps eventually, so why not have a sweet dream?"
Xu Ning shook his head regretfully, "We can't talk to each other. Nasita, you're familiar with this dream, so how do we kill him, or should we just destroy the dream or something?"
"Haha, that's a really wild idea. But this guy doesn't seem to have any reason to target me."
Mosayin pointed at Xu Ning with a smile and asked, "Just as the Grass God sees me as the most conspicuous and special in this world, in your team, you are practically the same as me."
Xu Ning was baffled. "Me and you, the same as each other? What nonsense are you talking about?"
