"Yes, since we'll have to fight in the 'dream realm'."
"Then, the requirement for heroes this time is to have the ability to fight in dreams …"
In the altar area of Dragon City.
Ji Ye and Cobb stood on the altar and looked at the offering that had been hit by the golden light from the five-clawed dragon of providence. It was the mirror dropped by the female yaksha king who had the talent of inheritance.
Compared to the liveliness of the previous rituals, there were very few people around the altar this time. There were only seven or eight of them.
That was because after they entered the dream and killed some Dense Fog race members, the Dense Fog race members didn't dare to come out of the dream.
The Dense Fog Army, which was supposed to gather troops and attack at night, couldn't hold back anymore and began to attack the Feng Shui formation in Dragon City from all directions. Just in case, all the other members had been scattered to the frontline.
However, Dragon City's main strategy was to defend.
After all, if he could kill the Dense Fog in the dream, he would be able to kill them.
In reality, they would be able to subdue the enemy without a fight.
Therefore, for this ritual, Ji Ye had set a requirement that the hero must have the ability to fight in dreams.
This requirement was actually less stringent than when they summoned Cobb.
Because having the ability to fight in dreams didn't necessarily require a rigorous study of dreams, the range of heroes that could be summoned was naturally larger.
Ji Ye had his own reasons for doing so.
Theoretically, the Moon's Reflection offering had a chance to summon a Legendary hero. However, it was only a chance, not an absolute one. If the requirement was to be a dream grandmaster, very few people would be able to meet it.
That was because Dom Cobb's arrival was a special case.
The heroes summoned by Dragon City were mostly from ancient China. In ancient Chidragon, there weren't many heroes who had the ability to dream and were qualified to be called Legendary.
"The Duke of Zhou interprets dreams, Zhuang Zhou dreams butterflies, and Flying Bear dreams … They're probably the only three in history!"
Elder Zhou's voice came from the communication channel.
The Duke of Zhou was Zhou Gongdan, the younger brother of King Wu, Ji Fa. He assisted King Wu in his crusade against King Zhou in the east. He also created rites and music, laying the foundation of Confucianism.
For a long time in ancient times, the Duke of Zhou had a venerated status and was known as the Sage. In some dynasties, he was even above Confucius.
As for the book "Duke of Zhou's Interpretation of Dreams", although it was verified that it was written by later generations based on its name, because it was too widespread, according to the rules of the Land of Inheritance, it was very likely to become the ability of the Duke of Zhou.
As for "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of Butterfly", there was no need to say more.
As the "Nan Hua Zhenren" of Daoism, Zhuang Zi's position in Daoism was comparable to that of Mencius in Confucianism.
Daoism and Daoism were closely related. If this Nan Hua could really descend, it would be of great help to the cultivation of Dragon City!
Finally, there was the allusion of the "Flying Bear into a Dream."
It was said that King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, dreamed that a fierce tiger with wings on its back pounced on him from the southeast. Later, he met Jiang Ziya, who was fishing by the Wei River.
The two of them were even more famous than the first two in history. Together with the recent Investiture of the Gods and the legends on the Internet, Ji Ye suspected that they were not only qualified to be Legendary, but even Mythical!
As for these four people, no matter which one of them descended, they would not be able to escape.
It would be quite useful to the Dragon City settlement.
Therefore, Ji Ye's eyes were filled with anticipation as he watched the humanoid Soul of Civilization on the altar being activated by the golden light of the five-clawed dragon of providence.
"Buzz!"
When the Soul of Civilization began to transform, it was completely different from before.
In the sky above Dragon City, the wind and clouds surged. Then, phantoms appeared one by one. Some were in the form of creatures, and some were in the form of artifacts. All of them were glowing!
"What's the situation?"
"What is that? An attack from the Dense Fog race!"
The rookies from the fourth batch who had arrived on the defense lines of Dragon City suddenly looked nervous.
"This scene, it's …"
The veteran players, on the other hand, were both surprised and curious.
Because they had seen this scene once before.
In the first stage of Dragon City's advancement test, many competing settlement cores manifested to stop Dragon City from advancing!
Could it be that the Dense Fog race could summon the settlement cores that they had devoured and attack them from afar?
"No, this isn't the Dense Fog race's method."
On the altar, Ji Ye immediately denied it.
Although the settlement cores in the sky were in different shapes, they all had the yellow power of providence, which symbolized the human race.
Most of the settlement cores in the middle looked familiar to the people of Chidragon. For example, there was a white tiger, a phoenix, a divine sword, a bronze cauldron, a Three Stars Pile, and a round, chubby panda …
Obviously, those settlement cores belonged to the human race, and they were Chidragon's own settlements on the Land of Inheritance.
"A Legendary is the most outstanding existence in a civilization. Therefore, when a Legendary hero is formed, the other settlements will contribute part of their strength!"
That was the information that popped up in Ji Ye's head as the master of the settlement.
Yes, a Legendary hero!
This time, it was a Legendary hero who responded to Dragon City's ritual.
The result wasn't unexpected. In fact, it was reasonable. After all, Dragon City was the best settlement on Earth.
As long as the background was suitable, even a Legendary hero would be willing to choose it.
"Crash!"
The providence cores of the other settlements manifested.
Then, beams of golden light shot out and hit the transcendent Soul of Civilization dropped by the male yaksha king.
In the blink of an eye, the color of the flames inside had turned orange, blooming with an intense orange light that was hard to look at, condensing into a human figure!
["Ride the six dragons and ride the wind. Travel the four seas and the eight countries … Ride the clouds, fairies and fairies descend to soar. Ride the six dragons and drink the jade wine … "]
Following that, the "poetic announcement" recited by an imposing middle-aged man finally appeared.
"Huh? What's that?"
Although most of the people of Dragon City were at the edge of the settlement, the poem seemed to have penetrated space.
However, the poems seemed to have penetrated through space and were heard by everyone in the Dragon City settlement.
In fact, as long as one wasn't involved in the battle, their line of sight could also penetrate the barrier in the middle and see the blurry silhouette formed by the orange light on the altar.
"I can't tell who it is from the poem."
"But it feels so divine. Is it Zhuangzi?"
After confirming that it was a Legendary hero, Ji Ye tried to figure out the hero's identity through the poem.
Although he didn't know much about Zhuangzi's writings, he did know that Zhuangzi's 《Free and Unfettered Travel》 was one of the must-memorize texts in middle school that gave the slacker students a headache. In it, there were sentences such as "if a man rides on the righteousness of heaven and earth, and controls the debate of the six Qi", which seemed to have some similarities with the "poem" just now.
But Ji Ye soon realized that he was wrong.
["Though the divine turtle lives long, there is still a time. The flying serpent rides the mist and turns to dust. An old steed is ambitious; a martyr in his twilight years is ambitious … "
["How long will life be when we sing to wine? Like the morning dew, the days are long … "]
Just like when Li Guang arrived, there wasn't just one poem about the hero. Instead, there was a continuous stream of poems.
Although some of them were solemn, some were passionate, and some were passionate, they were all recited by the same voice, which meant that the same person wrote the poems.
For the people of Chidragon, some of the poems were probably unforgettable even for those with poor memories.
"Wow, it's …"
"Prime Minister!"
"Meng Degong!"
"Shoot, Cao Cao …"
Yes, the Legendary hero who responded to Dragon City's ritual wasn't Zhuangzi, Zhou Gong, or Jiang Ziya as Ji Ye had thought.
It was Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the founder of the Wei Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms!
"It's Cao Cao!"
Not only Ji Ye, but Guo Wei, Su Nongying, and the others also exclaimed in surprise in the communication channel.
It wasn't that Cao Cao wasn't qualified.
In terms of popularity and historical status, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang were both qualified to be rated as Legendary in the Three Kingdoms era. But the problem was …
"Didn't the City Master set the requirement of having the ability to fight in dreams? How can Cao Cao meet that requirement? "
To the north of Dragon City, Mister Bug, who was setting up a defense with a bunch of superpower battalion players, scratched his head in confusion.
"I like to kill people in my dreams!"
Ji Ye had already figured out the reason.
"I like to kill people in my dreams" was a famous story about Cao Cao. It was on par with "Quenching Thirst by Looking at Plum Blossoms", "Hua Rong Dao", and "Cutting Off His Beard".
Cao Cao was paranoid and often worried that someone would harm him while he was asleep. So, he said to the guards, "I like to kill people in my dreams. Don't come near me when I'm asleep."
In order to convince others, he once kicked his quilt away when he was sleeping so that he wouldn't notice the cold.
When a guard picked up the quilt and was about to cover him, Cao Cao suddenly jumped up and killed the guard with his sword. Then, he lay down and went back to sleep.
When Cao Cao woke up the next morning, he asked in surprise who had killed his guard. When the other guards told him the truth, Cao Cao 'cried' and had the guard buried with a grand ceremony.
So, everybody thought that Cao Cao really killed people in his dreams!
However, killing people in dreams was only recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and not in official history.
Because of that, the management of Dragon City didn't expect that Emperor Wu of Wei would meet the requirement of being able to fight in dreams.
