He wanted to give Laplace a level-4 rating, but he was not sure if he should do so. However, he couldn't make a decision right away. He needed to wait and see.
Therefore, even though he was telling Laplace about the dream wasteland, most of it was about the second-tier dream wasteland, with the occasional mention of the third-tier dream wasteland.
On the other hand, Laplace already knew that Angor was hiding a huge secret ever since she entered the Dream Crystal. After witnessing how the Dream Whelk kept shedding its scales, she was even more convinced of her theory. She already had a feeling that Angor was going to tell her something big. But she didn't expect it to be this big.
This was a completely another "surreal world" that was entrusted to the real world!
"Surreal world" was Laplace's general understanding of the dream wasteland.
Think about it. Logging in from anywhere in the world would bring you to the same place. Even if you were tens of thousands of kilometers away, you could still meet each other. How surreal was that?
There was no lack of sorrow in this world, even for wizards. Most of the time, you thought that you would meet again, but the road was long, and no one knew what the future would be like. It was very possible that you thought it was, and it was really just your imagination. And now, the two people who thought that they would never meet again in this lifetime were reunited through the Dream Wasteland.
Wasn't this a surreal world?
The dream wasteland Angor mentioned didn't only have simple functions of transmitting information and meeting each other.
From Angor's description, Laplace learned that the dream wasteland and the Dream Crystal belonged to the same type of crevice world.
Laplace never went to the dream wasteland, but she was right here in the Dream Crystal.
She witnessed everything that happened after the Dream Crystal was created.
According to the Dream Wasteland and the Dream Crystal, whatever the Dream Crystal could do, the Dream Wasteland could probably do as well. Did it mean that the Dream Whelk could also provide unlimited supply of supernatural items to the dream wasteland just like how it shed its scales?
That was terrifying. Just by thinking about it, if a Transcendent item could be supplied endlessly, then the benefits and space that could be manipulated would be enormous.
This time, for example, Laplace's scale-shedding ability worked like crazy.
Before this, she didn't have the chance to use Molt Scales, and she wouldn't waste Molt Scales. But in the Dream Crystal, she treated Molt Scales as a free consumable, and she didn't hesitate to squander them.
Because of his constant use, Laplace was able to think more about the usage of molting scales. He even had a thorough grasp of how to control the explosion of molting scales.
If she was forced to use it in the real world in the future, she would be able to control and utilize it much better than before. If she really needed to use it in a desperate situation, even a tiny bit of improvement could decide the outcome of the battle. Therefore, using the scale-shedding ability could indirectly improve Laplace's strength, which meant that Laplace's survival would be much better.
She had only tried to use the scale-shedding ability, and she already gained a lot of benefits.
Laplace's use of the dream wasteland.
Before Angor even mentioned anything about it, Laplace already thought of "unlimited alchemy" and "unlimited supernatural experiments".
After comparing her ideas with Angor's, Laplace couldn't help but admire the potential of the dream wasteland.
At the same time, she was also curious about Angor, the creator of the dream wasteland.
Although Angor didn't mention anything about the creator of the dream wasteland, Laplace wasn't stupid. She was the one who witnessed the birth of the Dream Crystal, which meant Angor was the one who did it. She was certain that Angor was the creator of the dream wasteland.
How did Angor do it? How did he do it?
It was impossible to create such a complete world with just the Dream Whelk.
If the Dream Whelk was so useful, it wouldn't be regarded as a useless Mystery item by countless wizards.
It was because of Angor that the Dream Whelk was reborn. The Dream Whelk wasn't the key. Angor was the key.
However, Angor had already told her everything he could. He didn't mention anything about the Dream Whelk.
Even though Laplace already guessed that Angor was the mastermind behind the creation of the wasteland, Angor only gave her a vague smile.
Laplace also realized that Angor must have used some kind of secret method to achieve this.
As the "chosen one" of the mirror world, Laplace had some secrets of her own that she couldn't tell anyone about. She understood why Angor wanted to keep it a secret.
Laplace wasn't an ungrateful person. She already knew that Angor was willing to let her use her scales as many times as she wanted. Plus, she also learned a great secret. This was more than enough for her to repay Angor's kindness.
Since Angor didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask. Instead, she changed the topic to something else. "Dream wasteland? It's the same name as the Dream Crystal. You came up with it, right? "
"That depends on how you see it."
Laplace: "???" Even this question had to be answered ambiguously?
"If you think it's a good name, I'm the one who came up with it," Angor explained in a serious tone, "I'm the one who named it. If you don't think it's a good name, then a group of people came up with it. "
Laplace: "… I didn't expect you to be so shameless. But even if you say a group of people came up with it, I still have to say that it's not a good name. "
Angor choked on his own words. "You can't judge a book by its cover."
"Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover," said Laplace.
"… I just came up with the name for the Dream Crystal. I haven't told anyone about it yet, so there's still room for improvement. If you have a better name, please tell me, Ms. Laplace."
Angor pushed the question to Laplace's side. Laplace could have said no, but she hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to show her weakness.
Therefore, Laplace seriously thought about what she should do if she had to name it.
In the end, she couldn't come up with anything.
It wasn't that Laplace couldn't think of anything. She had a lot of good names in her memory, but she didn't say anything in the end.
She had a feeling that giving a name to this place wasn't a meaningless thing. Like the name of a demon god, it represented the acknowledgment of "self".
If she really wanted to give it a name, she might have to fight for the acknowledgment.
Laplace had an inexplicable confidence that if she really wanted to snatch it, she would be able to... She didn't know where her confidence came from, but she had a feeling in her heart.
Under such circumstances, Laplace could not answer this question casually.
After careful consideration, Laplace chose not to answer.
Fighting for the acknowledgment of "self" wasn't a big deal. It wasn't a big deal if it was just a small matter. But if it involved the future of this place, or even the future of this place, then it was a big deal. If she tried to steal the acknowledgment right, she would be destroying the foundation of the Dream Crystal.
The Dream Crystal was good, but Angor was the only one who knew the secrets hidden inside.
Even if she managed to steal the acknowledgment, Laplace didn't think she could use it as freely as Angor.
Furthermore, even if she managed to steal the Dream Whelk, it wouldn't do her any good. In other people's hands, the Dream Whelk was nothing but a dusty treasure. Angor was the only one who could make it shine. Laplace didn't think she could wipe away the dust on the Dream Whelk like Angor did.
Besides, Laplace didn't want to offend Angor anyway.
Laplace didn't want to be misunderstood as someone who didn't have a talent for naming things. "I've thought about it carefully. You asked me to name something just to pick on me. No matter how good my name is, you can still find fault with it if you want to. I don't need to play along. "
Laplace thought she did a good job of answering Angor's question.
She waited for a while, but Angor didn't answer her. She looked at Angor and saw him staring at the sky with a puzzled look.
Laplace followed Angor's gaze and saw nothing but the spider monster continuing to weave its web.
Laplace was puzzled. "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing." Angor frowned.
Laplace didn't believe him. But she couldn't ask Angor if he didn't want to talk about it. He could only mutter a few words in a low voice and let this small interlude pass.
Laplace believed that he could skip this part of the story, but Angor was still thinking about what he just saw.
When Angor asked Laplace for a name, he sensed that something was wrong with the Dream Crystal.
He carefully checked and found the source of the problem to be … the Spider Monsters.
When he raised his head to look at the Spider Daemons, they all stopped weaving their webs and lowered their "fish heads" to look at the safe zone with their dead fish eyes.
However, the Spider Monsters completely ignored Angor's gaze. They were all focused on Laplace.
It was as if Laplace only needed to say something and the Spider Monsters would do something big.
Being stared at by the six spider demons, Laplace didn't feel anything even though he hadn't removed his scales yet. It was as if he was isolated from the outside world and was immersed in his own thoughts.
Angor knew that Laplace was thinking about how to change the name of the Dream Crystal.
Was it because of the name?
If Laplace really wanted to change the name of the Dream Crystal, would the mirror world's consciousness assume that she was going to conquer the Dream Crystal?
The thought was baseless, but he had a feeling that it was the truth.
After all, Laplace was the "chosen one" of the mirror world. Her every move would affect a lot of things.
Angor couldn't help but feel cold sweat on his back. It seemed that he had asked Laplace something he shouldn't have.
Fortunately, Laplace chose to give up on the idea.
The moment Laplace gave up on naming it, the spider monster in the sky returned to its web-weaving state, as if the strange scene of it staring at Laplace was just an illusion.
It turned out to be a false alarm, but he was still sweating profusely.
Angor remained silent. He didn't object to Laplace's sarcasm. Instead, he made a mental note that he had to be careful about the name of the dream wasteland. Also, he had to be careful about naming things. It would be best not to mention them casually.
…
Instead of talking about the name, Angor began to talk about the Dream Wasteland again. This time, he was talking about the environment of the Dream Wasteland.
"There are fairies in the Dream Wasteland? The Mother Tree Civilization? " Laplace looked curious. "A tree that connects the sky and the earth. That sounds like a 'root world'. However, those born in the Root World are all green-skinned underground people. There are no strange Dream Plant Fairies like you described. "
"You're interested in Dream Planter Fairies?"
Laplace nodded in agreement. "I'm a little interested. I wonder what the Fey race that was born from the Dream Realm will be like."
Laplace paused for a moment before he added, "I've always wanted to create a fairy form, but I never succeeded. If you go to the Forest of Memories, you'll see many of them based on the fairies of Renaya. "
Renaya was the water capital of the Meridian Principality, which was also known as the City of Fairies.
"After failing countless times, I finally decided to create Laplace."
"Laplace?" Angor looked at the "Laplace" in front of him.
Laplace said, "Not me. It's my past self, Laplace."
It took Angor a while to realize that Laplace was talking about the "bunny girl" in the Dream Wasteland.
The bunny girl was also called Laplace.
And this silver-haired, strange-eyed woman in front of him was an "avatar" of Laplace's true body.
"So, you're only curious because you want to use the Dream Plant Fairy's appearance to build your body?" Angor asked.
Laplace didn't deny it. "Yes."
"I think you shouldn't be called Laplace. You should be called Nuannuan," Angor muttered.
"What?" Laplace looked at him in confusion.
"It's nothing. I mean —" Angor was still trying to find an excuse when he suddenly sensed something. His right eye glowed in green as he looked into the distance. "I mean, the time is right."
…
The time is coming?
Laplace's attention was immediately drawn and he subconsciously sensed the situation around him. However, even with the help of her scale-shedding ability, she didn't notice anything unusual.
"How do you know the time?" Laplace looked at Angor curiously.
Angor lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Angor had a general idea of Laplace's personality. Laplace would always ask questions, but she also knew when to stop. If she noticed that Angor didn't want to answer, she wouldn't ask.
Therefore, Angor didn't have to worry about offending Laplace even if he chose to remain silent.
Angor chose to remain silent.
The main reason was that this matter involved fifth-level intelligence.
He used the nightmare aura to determine whether the time was right or not.
When the nightmare aura in the Dream Crystal reached a certain level, the main Nightmare Domain would be born.
How much "certain level" did it have to reach? It was hard to tell.
Back in the dream wasteland, the nightmare aura only spread over a small area, probably less than one-millionth of the wasteland, and the main Nightmare Domain was already born.
Angor couldn't quantify the amount of nightmare aura in the Dream Crystal, but he believed that the nightmare aura spread over a larger area than the dream wasteland.
Because of this, the "critical point" might be different in every world.
Since Angor didn't answer her question, Laplace changed her question. "If you think the time is right, are you going to bring the Forest of Memory in?"
"Not yet," Angor replied.
Angor closed his eyes and used his God's View to sense the place where the main Nightmare Domain was born.
When he opened his eyes again, he planned to go offline and wait at the Nightmare Domain's main body.
However, when he saw Laplace, he suddenly had an idea. "You … you want to go somewhere else?"
Laplace was stunned for a second before asking in a puzzled tone, "What do you mean?"
"The Dream Crystal is really big. Don't you want to go somewhere else? Maybe this is your only chance. "
Only one chance? Laplace was even more confused now.
Before Laplace could ask, Angor explained, "The Dream Crystal is a newly formed dimension. It can shatter again at any time, so there's a chance. You only have one chance."
Laplace finally understood. But according to Angor, the Dream Crystal would stabilize after surviving the "Cleaners", and the only one left was the Spider Monster. If they could use the Forest of Memory to deal with the Spider Monster, the Dream Crystal would be safe. Why would it shatter again?
Before Laplace could ask, Angor spoke first, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not. If you don't want to go, you can stay in the safe zone. If you want to go somewhere else, you can log off first.
"That's easy. Try to activate the dormant energy in your mind space."
Angor's body began to fade away and soon disappeared from the Dream Crystal. He had returned to reality.
Laplace considered for a moment and decided to try Angor's method. She didn't care whether she could go to other places in the Dream Crystal or not. She wanted to see if "logging off" would work.
When Angor told her about the dream wasteland, Laplace already knew about the concept of logging in, going online, and logging off. These words weren't written in the usual way, but they weren't difficult to understand.
Logging off meant leaving the Dream Crystal and returning to the real world.
"I only need to activate the dormant energy in my mind space?" Laplace mumbled and followed Angor's method.
Unlike the mind space of human wizards, Laplace's mind space was not empty, nor did it have any spiritual force model. Instead, it was filled with countless mirrors, from front to back, left to right, up to the sky, and down to the ground.
There was a human figure in each of the mirrors.
If one looked closely, they would see the wandering poet Luigi, the astrologer Gleipnir, and the bunny girl Laplace in these mirrors.
In the past, Laplace could use these mirrors to contact her original selves.
But when she came to the Dream Crystal, the mirrors became dead silent, and she couldn't use her aggregated energy.
Now that she was back in her mind space, Laplace began to think. What did "activating dormant energy" mean?
How could she activate her aggregated energy if she couldn't use it?
Laplace considered for a moment and tried to merge her consciousness with the aggregated energy.
Then, she tried to use her consciousness to activate the aggregated energy.
But … it didn't work.
However, although she did not succeed in activating the Convergence ability, she vaguely sensed a familiar place: the Dream Bridge.
When Laplace sensed the dream bridge, he fell into deep thought.
A moment later, she gathered all of her consciousness and moved it toward the Dream Bridge.
The next second, Laplace felt an obvious change in the world around him. Like an oil painting that had been drenched in water, it began to fade rapidly.
When all the colors faded away, Laplace was already out of the Dream Crystal.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the familiar aura of space. The dormant aggregated energy in her mind space had returned to normal.
She also regained her connection with Luigi, Glepnir, and the others.
Although everything had returned to normal, Laplace's expression was a little disappointed.
Being wrapped up by the scales felt good. Now that she was back in the real world, she couldn't feel the scales anymore. Even though she was wearing a set of luxurious clothes, Laplace still felt at ease when she was not shedding her scales.
While Laplace was comparing the differences between the Mirror World and the Dream Crystal, she heard a familiar voice.
"Are you ready?"
Laplace looked up and saw Angor, who was inviting her not far away.
Laplace paused for a moment and realized that Angor was inviting her to see other places in the Dream Crystal.
Laplace hesitated for a moment and asked, "Now? "How?"
"Just go back to sleep," Angor said.
So he's going back to the real world? But can I go to other places in the Dream Crystal by going back online? Laplace didn't know what to say.
Although Laplace found it a little strange, he did not ask. Instead, he looked at the "bonsai" beside him.
"Aren't we taking the Forest of Memory with us?"
"We'll have to wait until the Forest of Memory enters the Dream Crystal."
Laplace gave Angor a doubtful look and nodded. "Okay."
Angor chuckled and placed a finger on Laplace's forehead again.
Laplace didn't resist and allowed the spell to take effect.
Several seconds later, Laplace arrived at the Dream Bridge again.
At this point, Laplace was no longer unfamiliar with the Dream Bridge. She walked along the Dream Bridge and soon saw a familiar door.
"Are we going in?" Laplace asked despite the fact that there was no one around.
After a moment of silence, Angor spoke again. "Yes. Come in. The scenery here is much better than before."
So Angor didn't tell her that she was no longer in the safe zone?
What's going on? How did Angor do that?
Laplace took a step forward with doubt …
