Chapter 4271 Applying for a Permit
Even the withered one harbored some skepticism about the "method" mentioned by Ingres. After all, the possibility of waking up one day to find a benefactor who can change your life is extremely low.
But the decaying thing has been bearing the burden for too long. Although it can still have normal conversations, it is actually riddled with holes and is about to collapse.
So even if it felt that Angell's method might not succeed... even cruel scholars couldn't do it, how could Angell succeed with just a saying that "the stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade"? It didn't believe it.
But even with such strong doubts in its heart, it still wanted to give it a try.
What if?
What if a savior really does descend from heaven to rescue me from my predicament?
With this beautiful, but somewhat unrealistic vision in mind, the Decayer nodded slowly: "Alright, I agree to the test."
The moment the withered one nodded in agreement, Angell looked at the text box.
A checkmark appeared next to the column "Permission granted to 'Dreaming of the Decaying One'."
This also means that Angell has met all the prerequisites for "rekindling the spark".
With the prerequisites fulfilled, a new Wonderland prompt appeared in the text bar.
This time the prompt is quite long, and it details how to "rekindle the spark".
Angell carefully examined the so-called operation process, and the more he looked, the stranger it seemed... This operation process was no different from how an ordinary person logs on.
They guide the fragments of soul from the withered one's head to the Bridge of Dreams, and then, using the gatekeeper's authority, push the incomplete fragments of soul into the Crystal Plains of Dreams.
Next, the rules of the Dream Crystal will manifest their bodies and fill in the missing gaps.
The operation itself is not difficult at all, but... how to pull it? Who will pull it?
It should be noted that the decaying being before us is in a "dreamlike state".
The fragments of soul in its mind did not enter the Dream Crystal Plains with the Decayed One; in other words, to guide them, one must go to the Decayed One's real-world coordinates.
Where is the Decaying One in reality? Most likely in the Abyss.
Do I really have to go to the abyss myself for this mission?
Just as Angell was filled with immense doubt, he finally saw the end of the operating procedure—
"In order to guide the soul fragments into the Dream Bridge, shall we temporarily grant access to the 'Dream Gate'?"
"whether"
"In order to facilitate the entry of disabled individuals into the Dream Crystal Plains, should 'Gatekeeper' privileges be temporarily granted?"
"whether"
Angell: "..." He wanted to swear.
The powers of the fairy realm wrote him a long essay, detailing the operation process of "rekindling the spark".
So all that writing was just to request temporary access from Angell?
You should have told me earlier!
Or you could move the last few paragraphs to the beginning!
That way he won't have to read such a long "User Notice"!
Angell was inwardly complaining, but he had to admit that the Wonderland Power's operation had indeed saved him a lot of trouble.
Because he wanted to pull the fragments of soul from the withered one's mind into the Dream Crystal Plains, he had to go to the abyss himself.
However, the powers of the Fairy Realm can directly reverse the coordinates of the decaying being in a "dream state" to pinpoint its real-world location, thereby directly locking onto those soul fragments.
This is an ability that Angel doesn't possess... No, it's not that Angel can't do it. He can manipulate the power of the fairy realm through the power tree, so it's possible, but the probability is less than one in ten thousand.
After all, he couldn't even delve into the sea of power and information, let alone fully and deeply manipulate the power of "Wonderland".
According to Angell's own estimation, if he wanted to use the power of the Fairy Realm to reverse locate the "dream state" NPC, he would need at least legendary level mental strength.
Therefore, it is most convenient for the Wonderland Authority to operate on its own.
Since the powers of the Fairy Realm are willing to take the initiative to do it this time, Angor naturally will not refuse.
I clicked "Yes" repeatedly and very quickly.
With the granting of permissions, Angell clearly felt that two faint threads were extending outward from the fruit representing the "Dream Gate" and the "Gatekeeper" on the power tree in his mind space.
These two threads eventually connected to the power fruit that represented "Wonderland".
This clearly means that the permissions were granted successfully.
As the holder of both privileges, Angell can cut the thread at any time or maintain the connection indefinitely.
This is the advantage of possessing a core power tree; if others need temporary access in the future, he can do so as well. Furthermore, the ability to sever permissions at any time prevents abuse of those permissions.
However, only a few people are capable of holding such privileges, and it requires a certain talent and aptitude, so the possibility of abuse is actually very low.
As permissions are granted, new information begins to appear in the text field.
This information is still about the operational procedures.
Angel glanced at it and understood that this was the procedure he needed to follow, while the operations of guiding soul fragments were handled by the powers of the fairy realm.
Angel lowered his brows, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at the withered one.
"are you ready?"
The withered man was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "The test is being conducted right here?"
Angel nodded: "Yes."
The Decaying One: "What do I need to do?"
Angell walked step by step to the withered one, getting so close that he was almost touching him: "Wait a moment, you may feel some mental abnormalities, such as 'sloth' and 'drowsiness'."
"All you need to do is avoid confrontation."
The Decaying One: "So, I might end up sleeping here?"
Angell: "It's possible, or it's just a short rest."
The withered one shook his head subconsciously: "Impossible, I haven't slept outside for a long time, I can only do so inside the sealed monument..."
“Don’t rush to deny it. Aren’t we testing it?” Angell said. “If the test fails, we’ll talk about other things. Right now, you should cooperate with me.”
The withered one was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand. If I sense anything unusual, I will not try to fight it."
Angel: "Let's begin then. Close your eyes first."
The decaying creature nodded and obediently closed its eyes...
"Hey, I'm still right here." At this moment, the little devil host suddenly spoke up, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Seeing that Angor and the Decayer were looking over, the Imp Master lowered his voice: "I mean, is there anything I can do to help?"
Feeling a little guilty under Angor's gaze, it shrank back, scratched at the edge of the seal with its paw, and added hesitantly, "As the host of the Chapter of the Heart, I can give you a quiet area."
Angell shook his head: "No need, your words..."
Angell originally wanted the little devil to temporarily step aside.
But upon reflection, this is the space of the Heart Chapter, and as the master of this space, it can perceive everything no matter how it tries to avoid it.
Therefore, Angel changed his words and said, "Wait a moment, just don't make a sound, so as not to disturb the withered one."
"No problem!" The little devil host nodded immediately, looking very satisfied.
Its sudden statement just now wasn't a joke; it was a call for "participation"!
If Angor can truly help the Decayers, it would be an earth-shattering event, after all, it's something even the Demon God couldn't accomplish!
If this gets out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar!
If someone asks you what your role was in this "epic," you can't just say, "I just sat on the sidelines and watched the show," can you?
Now it's so much better. With just a simple "I'll keep quiet," I've gone from being a "bystander" to a "participant"!
Of course, when others ask later, it won't say "it was keeping quiet," but can be portrayed as "helping out from the sidelines."
The little devil host thought smugly: "Before, it was a two-person event between Angor and the Decayer. With my manipulation, it's now a three-person collaboration, isn't it?"
perfect!
They'll be in charge of "wiping out" then, and I'll be in charge of "cawing"!
Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that Angell can truly help the Decayers resolve their predicament.
the other side.
Angor had no idea what the Little Devil was thinking. Although he noticed the Little Devil's emotional changes through his extrasensory perception, he wasn't paying attention to it at all.
Instead, they started paying attention to the text bar.
The Wonderland hint provided a detailed description of the unusual sensations the Decayer might experience.
This also allowed Angell to deal with various situations more clearly.
"Relax, you will feel a slight pressure, like someone gently bringing their finger close to your forehead, but without actually touching it."
"Don't fight against this oppressive feeling. Just slowly let your thoughts settle... Imagine that you are falling into a dark and sweet vortex..."
Angel carefully examined the withered creature's eyelids, confirming that its eyeballs were no longer trembling and had become perfectly steady, before continuing:
"Imagine yourself walking on a long, distant stone bridge, surrounded by pitch-black void... You keep walking forward on this bridge..."
"You see colorful bubbles around the bridge, like dreamlike bubbles."
"You don't care about these bubbles because you know they're just decorations..."
"You tread upon their reflected light, and continue forward... back to the beginning of everything..."
As Angor spoke softly and melodiously, the Decayer seemed to have fallen into some kind of hypnosis... and not only the Decayer, but even the little demon host who was quietly watching from the side felt drowsy.
With this step achieved, Angell's task was complete.
Using the power of nightmares, the withered ones are guided into a state between dream and wakefulness, manifesting an equivalent of the Dream Bridge. This allows the powers of the fairy realm to quickly lock onto the true Dream Bridge.
Next, the powers of the Fairy Realm will come into play.
……
Reality, the unknown depths of the abyss.
Within the currently unopened Heart Chapter space, a faint light suddenly flickered within a sealed stele.
The light flickered constantly, like breathing.
Logically, at this point, the administrator of the Heart Chapter—the Little Devil—should have noticed the anomaly in the sealing of the monument.
But unusually, the little devil presiding over this matter was in a deep slumber.
The entire Chapter of the Heart was as quiet as a silent, secluded room.
The constantly flashing light from the sealed monument illuminated the dark chamber, casting numerous cube-shaped projections... The light flashed a full thirty times before slowly calming down.
During the final flash, in addition to the cube projection, the Chapter of Hearts also included a blue fire projection.
The firelight projection originated from... the lantern on the little devil's tail.
A pair of eyes seemed to open within the lamplight, and a soft whisper came from within: "Wex is asleep? Hmm... let me see, a normal sleep."
"Ah."
"However, the more normal something is, the more abnormal it is."
The pale blue flames slowly drifted above the little devil's abode, seemingly investigating something.
A moment later, the flames slowly returned to the sky above the seal that had been shimmering with light.
"Is it the Decayer?"
"Hmm... there are no problems inside or outside the body."
"Examine the skull; it truly echoes the lingering echoes of a shattered soul..."
The blue flames seemed to see through everything inside the sealed monument, even the fragments of the soul sealed within the skull of the withered one could not escape the pair of deep, distant eyes within the flames.
"Nothing unusual."
"But it has the flavor of a 'dream'."
"interesting……"
With a low laugh, the blue flames slowly drifted back into the lantern hanging from the little devil's tail, and then fell silent again.
……
at the same time.
As the possessor of the "Gate of Dreams" power, Angell clearly sensed that a vast number of dream bridges were connected to the "Gate".
He immediately came into the view of authority.
On countless dream bridges, figures appeared. They looked very similar to humans, but their skin was slightly purplish, and their hair was distinctly parted in the middle and curly, naturally large waves.
Upon closer inspection, although they differ somewhat in appearance from the withered ones, many of them share a similar temperament.
Even though they were clearly still in a state of incomplete consciousness, their scholarly aura was strikingly consistent.
Is this the civilization of seekers of truth?
While Angel was in a daze, the power of the fairy realm had already taken control of the "gatekeeper's" authority, slowly "pushing" these Prushas, whose consciousness was not fully formed and who had been forcibly "read" from the fragments of their souls, toward the gate leading to the Dream Crystal Plains.
However, they all stopped at the doorway.
This was something Angell deliberately controlled.
The Prusha people are not yet ready to enter the Dream Crystal Plains... Neither their settlement nor the people to teach them are yet clear.
It's more convenient to leave them on the Dream Bridge for now.
Since their fragmented consciousnesses have already entered the Dream Bridge, even if the withered beings outside awaken, they cannot pull their consciousnesses back into the soul fragments in their brains.
In other words, as long as these dream bridges are maintained by the power of authority, they can be pulled into the Dream Crystal Plains at any time.
However, not all Prussians will be kept out.
With the prompt in the text box, Angel can pull up to three people into the space of the Heart Chapter.
This was also to prove to the withered one that he had a way to solve its problem.
"Select three people to enter the Heart Chapter space." Angell's gaze swept across the vast number of dream bridges, trying to find a few with relatively complete soul fragments, or those with independent consciousness.
However, based on the overview from the perspective of power, all the consciousnesses in the Dream Bridge are blank and confused.
Even though they have the physical form of their "previous life", their core is too fragmented to support them having independent subjective consciousness.
Furthermore, since Dream Bridge is related to "dreams," its inherent characteristic is the ability to suppress independent consciousness. Unless one is naturally proficient in lucid dreaming, even a person with a complete consciousness may be suppressed to the point of trance within Dream Bridge.
Given this dual challenge, it is very difficult to find someone with even a slightly intact consciousness.
Finally, Angell sighed and decided to randomly select three.
