Meanwhile, Freud and Angor were heading to Heaven's Tower together.
Heaven's Tower was the first one Angor found in the Land of Revelation. It was five stories tall and covered in decorative engravings. It was the tallest building Angor had brought into this place so far.
"You're pretty quick. It's only been a day since I last saw you, and this place is already crowded."
"I'm here to do some experiments. Also, I hope this place isn't so lonely."
Angor didn't mind Freud's decision. It was good to have people here. At least Jon wouldn't feel so lonely when he came here.
Inside the tower, Angor saw three beautiful women in uniform sitting in front of a desk, working on some documents.
"Just like Rab, they're dying because of the plague, so I brought them here," Freud explained. "They used to work for the sheriff, so they're good at keeping records. So I brought them here to do some headcount, distribution of resources, and labor arrangements."
Angor used his Omniscient View to check the documents in their hands. They were all stacks of documents.
The one at the top of the stack was about Daruk, who was brought here by Angor.
It recorded all the relevant information about Daruk. Based on the above, it also carried out a simple evaluation mechanism. Daruk's evaluation wasn't too high. He didn't have any skills, so he could only pay for the resources through labor. Daruk's grandfather, on the other hand, had a good evaluation because he knew how to carve wood.
"The most important thing right now is a house for them to rest in. In the future, they will have to pay for it with their own labor," Freud said. "That way, they won't have to work too hard."
Angor agreed with Freud's suggestion. No one should ever think about getting something without putting in effort.
These information cards also recorded the various conditions of these people, from their physical to their mental states. In other words, while recording the information, they also carried out an experimental investigation of the Spiritual Light of Consciousness in the dream wilderness.
Angor suddenly heard some noises coming from outside the door.
When he turned around, he saw a group of people carrying a few big boxes together. They were huffing and puffing as they walked past the door.
"They search and organize important treasures, cultural books, raw materials, and other resources." Freud explained that the team outside the door was mainly responsible for searching for useful items in the building, categorizing them, and managing them together.
Angor glanced at Freud in surprise. "That's a good plan."
Freud had not only taken into account the big picture, but also the small details. Most importantly, it had only been a day, which showed how efficient Freud was.
Freud snickered. "Actually, I've already considered this when I was writing 'The Dream Whelk'. At that time, I just wanted to play around. I didn't expect that Sir would really make it happen. "
Freud's idea was good, but it would be a waste of his talent to deal with such trivial matters.
"We don't know how long these people can live, but if we want to keep their consciousness in the dream wasteland for a long time, we need to set up a system to manage them. It's impossible for me to consider everything, so I plan to see if there's anyone with good management skills who can take over these trivial tasks. "
"You can do that on your own. But you have to keep a long-term record of your experiments."
While talking, they headed to the top floor of the tower.
Soon, they arrived at the top of the tower. From the balcony, they could see all the buildings in the area.
Apart from Firmament Tower, there were two other buildings that stood out from the rest. One was the splendid Flicker Church, while the other was the Ocean Theater that Angor dragged into the wasteland. The three landmarks stood on opposite sides of the wasteland, which made them look quite interesting.
"There aren't many buildings here yet, but it's starting to feel like a town. How about we give this place a name, Sir?" Freud stood behind Angor and felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched the city slowly being built.
"That young man called Rab told me that this is a new world. I didn't think much about it at first. But now, facing the city that is slowly becoming more and more lively, I suddenly have a feeling that I have really created a world. " Angor shook his head to clear his mind. This place looked real, but it was nothing more than a container that stored consciousness.
Illusory and ethereal, it was almost incomparable to the real world.
Even the Sorcerer's Garden couldn't compare to it. Still, the dream wasteland had its advantages. At least, the Sorcerer's Garden couldn't compare to its ability to transmit messages over long distances.
In the end, he said, "Let's call it First Heart City."
This was the starting point of the dream wasteland, where Angor placed all of his hopes and dreams. Jon once told him that one could achieve great things by not forgetting one's roots. This was what Angor wanted to do, so he named the city "First Heart".
Freud agreed with the name. First Heart City, the Heart of Beginnings, was where one's dreams began.
The name of First Heart City was immediately spread to the ears of everyone in the city.
When they came here, most of them were still confused about the road ahead. Most importantly, they didn't even know where they were. It felt like an illusion.
However, when they saw the name of the city on the notice board, the uneasiness in their hearts slowly disappeared.
"First Heart City? I'm a citizen of First Heart City now?" The notice board was located at the entrance of the small square. Daruk, who was playing with his kid, noticed it right away.
He and his grandfather used to be nothing more than farmers in the countryside. They didn't have slaves, but they were still considered untouchables in the city. But now, not only did he own a house with his grandfather, his illness had also improved, and he had even become a resident of a bustling city. This made him somewhat unable to believe it, and he could not help but ask himself.
"Stop acting like a country bumpkin and learn to be as steady as me! I don't want my little brother to become a clumsy idiot after playing with you. "It was Rab who was also standing beside the notice board.
Daruk chuckled. Rab's words were a bit harsh, but he knew Rab didn't mean any harm. Back then, when he had just entered Foundation City and was at a loss, it was also Rabu who had spoken to him immediately and calmed him down.
Rab didn't mind Daruk's silly smile. He was thinking about something else.
Although he had only been here for a day, he had asked Master Dickson where he was before he came in. Master Dissen didn't answer. He only smiled mysteriously.
Later, Rab tried asking others about the name of the city, but no one knew about it. Not even Sunny or Alda.
However, the young man who Sunny called "the real master of the new world" soon came and settled the name of the city. Rabu was a little suspicious. Could it be that the name of this city was given by the youth from before?
"First Heart. That's a nice name." Rab chuckled. Whether or not the young man was the one who named the city, everyone agreed with the name.
From then on, all the new residents would know that they would have to abandon their past identities, their past glory, and become a member of Beginnings City. They would also have to integrate into the life of Beginnings City.
…
After naming the city, Angor talked to Freud about the data he collected from the experiment.
The people in First Heart City weren't just residents. They were also important test subjects. He needed to see if they were suitable for Jon to live in the city for a long time.
"We're still observing them. We don't see anything wrong with them. Personally, I think they've already become residents of the Dream Realm, "Freud explained.
Still, he didn't trust Freud's words completely since Jon's life was at stake. He still needed some time to confirm the authenticity of the samples.
Still, it was a good idea to let Jon get used to life in First Heart City first.
After saying goodbye to Freud, he left the dream wasteland and returned to the real world. However, he used Dream Enkindle on himself again. This time, he didn't choose to enter First Heart City. Instead, he chose a different location and entered the dream wasteland.
This place was very far away from First Heart City. There were only wild grasses around him, which didn't seem to change at all.
There was only a lone Gondola left in the middle of the wasteland.
He controlled his Gondola and flew higher into the sky. Soon, he found his target among the clouds — the glowing orb.
This was the main body of the Nightmare Domain.
Now that his body was almost fully recovered, he wanted to see if he could fuse a new authority into his body. The "Dream Gate" wasn't bad, but it wasn't a core authority. Besides, the dream wasteland didn't have any defensive power, which was why he wanted to fuse the new authority.
However, when he placed the orb in his hand, something told him that he needed a little bit more.
He wanted to fuse with a new Authority, but with his current situation, he was still a little lacking.
If he forced it, he might lose the authority or suffer a mental breakdown.
His instinct told him that it wouldn't take him too long to fuse the new authority.
He was only one step away from becoming a level-3 apprentice. Once he became a real level-3 apprentice, he would be able to fuse the new authority.
He didn't even need to train himself to become a level-3 apprentice. He just needed to wait for the bloodline projection in his body to fully fuse with the new authority.
It would only take him a few days to reach that level.
Since he couldn't fuse the new authority, he didn't want to linger around. He put the main body of the Nightmare Domain away and left the dream wasteland.
