Inside the dream wasteland.
Angor appeared outside of Padt Manor. According to the message he received from the Dream Gate, Sunders entered the dream wasteland five minutes ago, and he was now at Padt Manor.
Ever since Sunders said that he would find Flora and Sumesh soon, Angor had not logged in.
No one knew what happened to Sunders.
Angor quickly entered the dream wasteland as soon as he received the message that Sunders was online.
As soon as he stood still, he heard a melodious melody coming from his pocket.
At first, he didn't come back to his senses, thinking that someone was playing the piano nearby. It wasn't until the continuous sound of the piano that he took out a thin black disc from his pocket.
It was the first version of the Mother Tree Network.
Angor activated the device, which displayed the layout of the network on the surface of the wasteland.
On the surface of the wasteland, there was a small sprout growing out of the ground. On the left and right sides of the sprout, there were two green leaves with tiny hairs on them, which corresponded to two virtual buttons.
The buttons were "Tree Group" and "Mother Tree Forum".
Among them, the new leaf that represented the "group of trees" was being soaked by raindrops from an unknown source. Every time a raindrop fell, a "ding ding dong dong" sound could be heard.
It took Angor a while to realize that this was the "Unread Message" notification.
The "Unread Message" here didn't refer to all the messages in the Tree Group. Instead, it referred to the "Unread Message" when someone sent him a private message. Unread messages that didn't point to a specific person were not displayed here.
"Who sent me an unread message? Big brother? "Angor muttered to himself. He walked into Padt Manor and opened the" Tree Group ".
As soon as he entered the "Tree Group", he received a "pop-up window".
[Update Message: The Tree Group is an old version of the first development version. It will soon be upgraded to a new version. ]
Without giving Angor a choice, the "Tree Group" automatically went into "Update Mode". A small hourglass appeared in the center of the page, with fine sand dripping down from the top.
Ten seconds later, the fine sand above was completely dripping down. At the same time, the tree interface popped up again:
[The current version of the Tree Group is codenamed: No. 0. For a detailed look at the update content of this version, please click on the function integration at the bottom of the Tree Group's new interface — Update Announcement. "
"That's a good idea." Angor shook his head with a smile and clicked on the new interface.
He clicked on it and felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Instead of entering the group chat interface directly, he arrived at a long rectangular interface. At the top of this long rectangular interface was the name, and below it was the friends list, the group chat, and the focus of functions.
This was very similar to the layout of a certain social software in the holographic tablet. It was just that the integrated functions of that software were more complicated. This was a primitive and crude version.
"It seems like Jon is planning to gradually upgrade the tree group in the same way as that social software?" Angor did not like the idea. He never used the social app inside the tablet because he did not have a suitable environment. But he did some research on it when he was bored. It had a lot of functions, and it was very considerate and user-friendly.
If he followed this pace to upgrade the Iteration, he would not have to worry about going astray.
While thinking, Angor looked at his friends list.
He hadn't added anyone as a friend yet, but there were already two "Unknown Message Dialog Boxes". Obviously, these two dialog boxes represented the people who had left him messages.
He clicked on the first box and saw a bubble: [Angor, find me when you enter the dream wasteland. ]
The bubble had lost its color, but Angor could see a small name next to it: Sunders Igulo.
Apparently, this was an update from Version 0. Instead of using the color of the bubble to identify people, the system now used the name of the person.
This was a good change. More and more people would use the tree group in the future, and the number of colors was limited.
Apart from the change in the bubble, Angor also saw the time displayed in the private chat interface.
This bubble was sent out three minutes ago.
Sunders must have left a message as soon as he entered the dream wasteland. Angor guessed that Sunders wanted to talk to him about something.
With this in mind, Angor hastened his steps.
On his way to Sunders' room, Angor clicked on the second "unknown message box".
He did not check the content. The first thing he noticed was the name of the message: Tree Group Development Group.
[I'm Jon. Try the new version of the tree group when you're online. Send me a private message after that.] [Ok.]
Send Jon a private message after the experience? Are they trying to find out how satisfied they are?
Angor did not think too much about it. He would tell Jon about it later. For now, he should go and see what Sunders wanted to talk to him about.
When he reached Sunders' room, he heard another "ding".
Angor was still checking the tree group when he saw that it was from Sunders again.
[I don't know when you'll enter the dream wasteland, so I'll give you a brief explanation so that you won't miss the timing.] [Ok.]
After that, there was no follow-up.
Angor pushed the door open and saw Sunders sitting in front of his desk, holding the first version of the Mother Tree Interconnect Device. Sunders was frowning as he tried to type something using his mind.
It was not difficult to turn his consciousness into words. However, Sunders was a beginner, and the process was slow.
Because of this, Angor was already in front of him, but he did not finish the rest of the content.
"Angor?" Sunders looked up when he heard the door being pushed open. "Angor?"
Sunders' eyes lit up. He quickly placed the device on his desk and freed himself from the trouble of typing.
Angor bowed and walked to the table. He sat down across from Sunders and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, professor?"
Sunders rubbed his forehead tiredly. "Yes, there is."
Angor noticed Sunders' small movements. Staying up all night in the dream wasteland would cause fatigue. However, Sunders had just entered the dream wasteland, so he should not be tired so quickly. In that case, his tiredness probably didn't come from his body in the dream wilderness, but from his subconscious mind.
Or maybe Sunders was tired in the real world. Or maybe it wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion.
Didn't Sunders go to Flora and Sumesh? What on earth happened in between?
"As for the details, I told you last time. It's about Sumesh's Nightmare Domain …"
Sunders briefly explained how Sumesh's Nightmare Domain was almost destroyed. He needed to use the dream wasteland to nourish the Nightmare Domain and slowly repair it.
Angor already knew about this, and he agreed to help. Sunders also needed Sumesh's help to save Jon's life in the future. Of course, Angor would do his best to help Sumesh.
Next, Sunders explained how Sumesh's Nightmare Domain could be repaired.
To put it simply, Sunders would use a Nightmare Domain that was far more powerful than Sumesh's current one to nourish the broken Nightmare Domain so that it could grow back on its own.
The dream wasteland was a world-class Nightmare Domain that was many times more powerful than Sumesh's Nightmare Domain.
As for how to do this, it was simple. Sunders would let Sumesh gain the authority of a dream wasteland, which would allow him to connect with the dream wasteland and allow the dream wasteland to repair his Nightmare Domain.
"Is that really possible? Can we really bring other Nightmare Domains into the dream wasteland? "Angor found it hard to believe.
"I've done some detailed calculations. According to my calculations, the feasibility is very high. You can think of a Nightmare Domain as an illusory world. The real world is constantly merging with other realms to create a large number of subsidiary planes. Since your Nightmare Domain has this property, it can be absorbed into other Nightmare Domains as well. "
"That sounds reasonable. But it's not absolute, is it?"
"Yes." Sunders nodded. "It's all based on my calculations."
"As soon as I heard about the dream wasteland, I had this idea. I even wanted to do some research on it. However, you didn't have the Tree of Authority back then. If I brought my Nightmare Domain into the dream wasteland, I would have a small chance of overpowering the main Nightmare Domain. Now that you have the Tree of Authority and control the core authority of the dream wasteland, you should be able to absorb other Nightmare Domains into your Nightmare Domain. "
Sunders gave Angor a sly smile. "Actually, I was worried that my Nightmare Domain would lose its autonomy if I brought it into the dream wasteland, so I gave up on the idea. However, Sumesh's Nightmare Domain just happened to be broken. If he wants to fix it, he has to help me complete my research on Nightmare Domains. "
In other words, Sumesh had become a lab rat. If he succeeded, he would be able to fix his Nightmare Domain. If he failed, he would still be able to complete his research on Nightmare Domain. It was the best of both worlds.
"You're right. If Sumesh's Nightmare Domain is absorbed into the dream wasteland, will his Nightmare Domain lose its autonomy?"
"I'm worried about that as well. But according to my calculations, Sumesh's Nightmare Domain won't lose its autonomy. Even if it does, it won't lose all of its autonomy. It's just like how the affiliated planes in the real world have their own rules. They won't be completely affected by the main world. "
"Also, this is a risk. If Sumesh wants to fix his Nightmare Domain, he has to take this risk. If something goes wrong, we'll have a new topic to study. For example, how to separate a small Nightmare Domain from a larger one. "
Angor didn't know what to say.
With such a mentor, he could only silently pray for Sumesh.
He did feel sorry for Sumesh, but he didn't ask for the man's mercy. After all, the research would benefit Sumesh as well.
"Since the chance of success is high, it's worth a try. When do you plan to let Sumesh enter the dream wasteland and assume the authority of Nightmare Domain? Also, have you thought about what authority Sumesh should be given? "
"As long as he can handle it, anything will do. But it's best if Sumesh can assume the authority related to the affiliated Nightmare Domain. But I'm afraid the authority will be too heavy for Sumesh to bear. I'll do some calculations later, and I'll let you know when I'm done.
As for when … well, let's wait. Sumesh's condition isn't stable yet. Besides, he's injured, and his spirit is damaged as well. We'll think about it when his wounds are healed. "
Angor nodded. He would listen to Sunders' plan.
However, he was still curious about one thing. What happened to Sunders? Why didn't he log in for days? And where did Sumesh's injuries come from?
Angor asked the question out loud.
Speaking of reality, Sunders rubbed his forehead again and sighed deeply. "Things are getting a little complicated lately …"
Angor also understood why Sunders used "complicated" to describe the situation.
At first, Flora only wanted to study the Bloodmelt Virus. But later, she found out that the Bloodmelt Virus was related to the Red Plague believers. Sumesh and Flora, on the other hand, were very brave. They didn't fear the Red Plague believers at all. Instead, they continued to investigate the Bloodmelt Virus in secret until they ran into the Red Plague believers. Sumesh's Nightmare Domain was further damaged, and he had to ask Sunders for help.
Angor already knew about all of this. What he did not know was what had happened after Sanders had found them.
According to Sunders, Sumesh and Flora were still in stable condition when he went to find them. They were hiding in the territory of the Red Plague believers, and they still had time to investigate the Bloodmelt Virus.
The Red Plague believers didn't go after them because the Supreme Cult happened to send some Heresy Inquisitors to the area for training.
Every now and then, the Supreme Cult would send these Heresy Inquisitors to the territories of demon worshippers and other races to train. Then, they would send the bishops to deal with the supernaturals while the apprentices would clean up the various worshippers.
When Sunders heard about this, he was about to praise their good luck when something else happened.
There was a Chosen among the Red Plague believers. This Chosen had reached the level of a level-1 truth-finder wizard. At first, the Chosen was being restrained by the Heresy Inquisitor's bishop. However, something happened. It seemed that the Chosen killed someone who was close to the Chosen, which caused the Chosen to go on a rampage. Not only the Supreme Cult's priests, but other Red Plague believers were also his targets.
The Chosen used the victims' lives as a sacrifice to the bloodthirsty Red Plague Archfiend, which granted him greater power. In a short period of time, his strength had increased to the level of a level two Truth Finder. Coupled with the geographical advantage, even the bishop of the Heresy Tribunal was severely injured by him. The bishop had to pay a great price to open a crack between planes and escape.
A level 2 truth-finder was powerful enough to destroy an entire area. The Chosen unleashed their power without restraint and forced Sumesh and the others out of hiding.
During this time, Sunders had to protect Flora and Flora while keeping the Chosen busy.
It took him a lot of effort to finally exhaust the Chosen's divine blessing. When Sunders' power dropped back to level-1, they finally had a chance to escape.
