“However, 1 prefer to call it the transformation stage!”
In the Royal First Research Institute of the Flame Clan, the big eye of the Dream Source blinked one after another. Even though it was locked inside the research institute, it seemed to have the ability to see through countless spaces and directly observe everything happening outside.
In the perception of the Dream Source, the big eye could clearly sense that there were hundreds of thousands of infectious sources of various sizes distributed throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
And there were also tens of thousands of infected people who had already progressed to the fourth stage and were about to give birth to Dream Beasts.
Yes, Dream Beasts.
This was what the Dream Source named its family members.
Thinking of this, the Dream Source suddenly changed the topic.
“I was talking about the four stages of the infected individuals.”
“Now, let me talk about my own abilities.”
“There are only two things you need to remember.”
“First, Dream Bestowment. It can bestow eternal beautiful dreams to intelligent creatures, but in exchange, their bodies will become the source of pollution for the Dream Plague. Everyone from your Flame Clan is now existing in my beautiful dream realm, in a different way…”
“Eternal existence.”
With that said, the Dream Source turned around and looked at the existence behind him.
It was a blurry black shadow.
The black shadow was illusory, as if it was a real shadow, but it stood strangely. And it was impossible to tell whether this thing had substance, let alone its facial features.
Hearing the words of the Dream Source, the black shadow nodded slightly and asked, “What’s next?”
“My second ability is Nightmare Infection.”
“With that greenish airflow as the source of infection, it will infect all living beings in a large area. The infected individuals will experience four stages of infection. When the fourth stage, which is the Transformation Stage, is completed, the Dream Beasts, which are also my clan members, will absorb everything the infected person has and be born!”
At the mention of Dream Beasts, there was a faint fanaticism in the voice of the Dream Source.
“They’re not monsters. They’re a new intelligent species! A new intelligent species with unlimited potential that respects me and worships me as a god!”
“Instead of calling them Dream Beasts, I prefer you to call them the Dream Clan!”
The black shadow nodded again and heard the Dream Source continued, “The Dream Clan is born from nightmares and possesses the innate ability to traverse dreams and make dreams come true! They can also fuse with their own kind to greatly enhance their strength.”
“Therefore, I can say that my Dream Clan is not only a brand new intelligent race, but I have also created an entirely new power system!”
“And I believe that I have already embarked on the path that your Flame Clan hopes for…”
As soon as the Dream Source finished speaking, the black shadow suddenly said, “It’s a path to becoming a deity without ascending the Heaven Ascension Stairs.”
The Dream Source replied, “That’s right…”
With that, the Dream Source and the black shadow fell into silence.
Until the Dream Source looked at the black shadow again and asked, “Did you remember everything I just said?”
The black shadow nodded, “I remembered it.”
Dream Source then said, “Then, I entrust everything here to you.”
With that said, faint streaks of light flashed from behind the Dream Source.
The giant eyeball gradually became blurry and illusory, and finally merged into the fragmented beams of light, and completely disappeared.
Only the black shadow remained in place, and soon, the black shadow twisted and transformed, gradually taking on the appearance of the Dream Source.
It spoke in the same voice as the Dream Source.
“Crimson Queen.”
“I’m here.”
“How much Dream Plague did it leave behind?”
The Crimson Queen replied, “The Dream Source took away 99% of the Dream Plague stored, leaving only 1% in the research institute.”
“Then, please open the entrance to the research institute and release all of the Dream Plague!”
The Crimson Queen replied, “Understood, Lord Yanxin.”
The familiar title stunned Yanxin, the “Dream Source” for a moment. However, soon, it said, “From now on, just call me the Dream Source.”
The Crimson Queen said, “I will comply with your orders.”
With that said, an abrupt display of the Light Door appeared in the outside world, and a large amount of pale green airflows gushed out right under Zhuang Zun’s nose.
The restrictions set up by Zhuang Zun were broken like paper with a single poke, and a large amount of Dream Plague continuously spread to the outside world.
This alarmed Zhuang Zun and he could not help but make up his mind.
“We can’t control this anymore; let’s go inside immediately and see what’s inside.”
Inside the research institute, after releasing all the stored Dream Plague, the new “Dream Source” muttered softly.
“With what little remains of me, 1 have exchanged for a dream exclusive to the Flame Clan, which 1 don’t know if it can be realized. I don’t know if this deal is a profit or a loss.”
With a long sigh, it turned its body, and the giant eyeball looked at the three people, Zhuang Zun and his group, who had entered the research institute.
“Then, the Eternal Clan.”
“Let me see how much progress you have made after tens of thousands of years.”
Dream Traversal was an extremely secretive and special movement ability.
Its characteristic was the ability to change its direction and position through the dream of any sleeping person, an effect almost equivalent to instantaneous teleportation.
Because of this, when the Dream Beast born within Liu Qingmin activated this ability the moment it appeared, individuals like Quan Chao, Heluo, and others in the Spirit Realm had no reaction…
They could only watch as this newborn Dream Beast quickly disappeared without a trace, not knowing where it had gone.
Just a few seconds later, this newly born Dream Beast rapidly shifted to a gathering point outside Archean City.
At this moment, what was once a gathering place with a population of over ten thousand had turned into a hell on earth.
Numerous third-stage infected individuals were howling in agony due to nightmares, and many fourth-stage infected individuals had already taken their last breath.
Various Dream Beasts of different forms were hiding in various corners of the gathering place, using the nightmares of third-stage infected individuals as their battleground, devouring and merging with each other, determining the winner who would take all!
In just thirty minutes, the gathering place had fallen completely silent.
Three strange creatures appeared in the center of the gathering place.
One was a dragon-like creature, over ten meters in length, completely black, with a huge eye on its forehead—this was the Dream Beast born from Liu Qingmin’s body.
Another was short and comical in stature, with a humanoid form but dressed in colorful clothes, a clown-like makeup on its face, riding a unicycle, juggling flying knives in its hands.
The last one also had a humanoid appearance, wearing a tight-fitting red cheongsam. She appeared to be a beautiful woman, but she held a red umbrella that concealed her face.
The three winners stood in a triangular formation facing each other, and after a long time, the woman’s clear voice came from under the umbrella.
“We are all Dream Clan members. Although we can increase our strength by fighting and devouring each other, I prefer to make the cake bigger than fighting.”
“While there are still many intelligent species in Archean City, we can unite to occupy Archean City, feed on their nightmares, and increase our power.”
The clown, while chuckling with a sinister laugh, nodded, “1 agree, oh, although this approach is slower, it wins in endurance.”
The one-eyed black dragon remained silent and lowered its head, dissipating its hostility.
In reality, the three of them had vastly different strengths, and none of them were confident in becoming the final winner.
And so, the three Dream Clan members reached an agreement..
