About a hundred steps into the forest, they saw an even thicker fog ahead of them. When they saw the familiar mist, they knew they had arrived at their destination.
As soon as they stepped into the fog, they couldn't even see their own fingers in front of their faces. Anyone else would get lost in the fog, but Angor and Sunders were different. Under Angor's control, a clear path appeared in front of them.
After walking a few steps along the small path, he saw a flat area about the size of an ordinary courtyard.
A large tree with lush green leaves stood quietly on this empty piece of flat land.
Angor walked to the tree and pointed a finger at it. A glowing orb that was bound by green runes came out of the trunk and floated beside him.
This was the main body of the Nightmare Domain.
"Do I need to do something, sir?" Angor asked.
"No. Let's get started."
Angor didn't waste time either. He activated the green runes on the orb and took out his Scroll of Luck.
When the "Lucky Moment" came into effect, Angor closed his eyes and repeated the content of the "energy system" in his mind.
The "Lucky Moment" lasted for three seconds. During the second second, a glittering dust slowly floated down from the main body of the Nightmare Domain.
Without hesitation, Angor activated the "Fusion" function and sent the dust into Sunders' body.
Sunders was already prepared. As soon as the dust entered his body, he sat down beside the tree and closed his eyes while waiting for the power to fuse with him.
Time ticked by, and Sunders didn't show any signs of discomfort. Angor and Sunders sighed in relief.
At least in the early stages of the fusion, Lucien's performance was much better than Freud's.
Normally speaking, it would take a long time to fuse with a new power. Since Sunders had to accept and digest a large amount of information, it usually took several hours or even a day. Unless the dream wasteland was receiving the power itself, it would take no time at all. For example, "Weather Shift" and "Tree Civilization" were both done in an instant.
Since Sunders couldn't handle the power of the dream wasteland on his own, it would take him a long time to fuse with the new power.
For the first hour, none of them spoke. They all stared at Sunders nervously, fearing that something unexpected might happen. An hour later, Freud finally broke the silence when he saw that Sunders was not surprised.
"Sir, can Mister Phantom succeed?" Freud's voice was a little nervous.
"There shouldn't be any problem, unless we encounter an unknown variable like the 'tree civilization'." Angor was actually telling Freud that he failed to integrate the tree civilization because the unknown variables were too terrifying.
Even if Sunders tried to take on "tree civilization", he would still fail.
That was because the word "civilization" carried too much weight.
Freud's eyes dimmed when he heard about the tree civilization. "I hope we won't encounter such an unknown variable."
"I hope so."
Angor believed that Sunders had a high chance of success. Of course, there was also the possibility that he ran into some unknown variable that he couldn't handle. If Sunders couldn't handle it, the others wouldn't be able to succeed either.
Freud shifted his gaze away from Sunders and looked at the tree nearby. "Sir, why did you place a tree here?"
Freud had been wondering about this ever since he arrived at the wasteland.
In such a large open space, there was only one lone tree here. It was very strange.
Freud also knew that the "green mist seeds" spread by the tree civilization couldn't have penetrated this wasteland. Therefore, Angor had to be the one who planted the tree here.
"It's used as an eye," Angor explained.
"An eye?" Freud didn't understand.
"Don't you think this tree looks familiar?" Angor asked another question.
Familiar? Freud looked up at the lush tree. At first glance, he didn't see anything special about it. But when he looked closer, he did.
"It looks like … a miniature version of the Mother Tree," Freud muttered.
"Not exactly. This tree is the Mother Tree itself," Angor explained, "but it's made from the Mother Tree's branches. You can think of it as a clone of the Mother Tree.
"In the future, when the Wilderness of Dreams is opened, this mother tree's avatar can send me a warning through the 'tree civilization'. Whether I'm in the dream wasteland or in the real world, I'll be alerted immediately. "
This was one of the defensive mechanisms Angor set up for his Nightmare Domain.
He didn't think that anyone would come to this wasteland in the future, but it was better to do it just in case.
Freud understood what Angor was trying to do, but he was still a little surprised. "You can use this to contact the Mother Tree?"
"Of course. You can contact the Mother Tree through its network." In Angor's opinion, it was like a long-distance surveillance device.
In fact, all the plants born in the dream wilderness originated from the Mother Tree and were more or less connected to the Mother Tree. They could also be used as monitors, but their "transmission signal" was much weaker, and they did not have a certain level of combat power.
This clone of the Mother Tree, on the other hand, had a lot of special properties. To some extent, it could be used to protect the Nightmare Domain.
"I see." Freud nodded. Since the Nightmare Domain was the core of the wasteland, it was only natural for it to be protected as much as possible.
"By the way, what do you think of the professor's suggestion?" Angor suddenly asked. "What do you think about it?"
"Your soul should have recovered by now, so you can try to take on the new authority."
Freud opened his mouth and tried to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Angor understood Freud's thoughts. He was looking forward to it, but at the same time, he was afraid.
He did not try to dissuade them, but instead talked about something else. "Speaking of which, all the plants in the dream wasteland are related to the Mother Tree. The Mother Tree can provide the plants with the necessary energy to grow through the soil. Otherwise, the wasteland and the Dream Plant Sprites won't be able to keep the plants alive.
"Although the Mother Tree, the Dream Plant Fairies, and the plants form a special ecological closed loop, if there are more ways to supply the Mother Tree with soil energy, it will also reduce a lot of pressure on the Mother Tree, such as building a true ecological chain."
"Plants and animals have their own functions. Life can spread, death can nurture, and reincarnate. Don't you think it's more realistic? "
Angor noticed Freud's interest, but he didn't ask for more details right away. "You can think about it more carefully. You don't need to worry about failure. Professor will calculate the success rate for you. Then, you can decide if you want to try it or not. "
