The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Although he was not interested in the Holy Lord's rambling about past glorious achievements, he had to pretend to be interested for the sake of future income.

"Of course not. In the past, in addition to developing various spells themselves, humans also considered using external forces."

"They began to worship an unknown god, hoping that this god could grant them the power to rebel against us."

"It seems they didn't succeed?"

"No," the Holy Lord chuckled, "they succeeded. They obtained a tiny bit of that god's power through that statue."

"You actually succeeded? So they fought you?"

"Of course, but unfortunately, that god is a being more terrifying than us demons. His power descended upon that statue, bringing with it indescribable babbling, and all those laughable humans were plunged into a mad dream."

"Ah, they screamed, saying the universe was just a dream of that god, and then it exploded with a 'bang'."

"In the end, there was only one person left. He held the statue and wanted to take revenge on us, plunging me into the crazy dream he had woven."

"Unfortunately, as a noble dragon and a demon wizard, I am not affected by such things at all. Whether it is chaotic babbling or anything else, it is nothing more than commonplace to me."

"However, this thing is an extremely powerful tool for humans. It can weave dreams, and the human brain simply cannot stop its intrusion. It is a very good gift."

"The world may be about to undergo a great change. At this time, it would be most appropriate to join forces to deal with any potential enemies. You should convey my message to her when the time comes."

302 The Statue Weaving Dreams

"Hmm... a statue that can put people to sleep and weave dreams."

"Hehe, that's right. This is information I finally managed to get from the Holy Lord. We also got the specific address. Do you think this is valuable?"

Inside the office, Valon, with a smile on his face, told Bai Zhi about the news he had recently obtained from the Holy Lord.

"It is indeed valuable, but you didn't bring the item directly, only a message. Isn't that a bit...?"

Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly. If she could, she would only want something ready-made.

But judging from the situation, it seems she'll have to take matters into her own hands.

"The main point is that the Holy Lord said that if ordinary people get close to that statue, they will fall into a deep sleep, and may even fall into a crazy dream, eventually turning into madmen."

We have absolutely no way to resist this kind of magic, so we thought we'd report the news to you.

Valon appeared somewhat obsequious. He only had so many men under his command, although he had just received Bai Zhi's gold coins and had gained some capital.

But he wouldn't be foolish enough to spend money hiring a bunch of people to try out that thing that the Holy Lord said was dangerous to humans; that would be a waste of money.

Listen to advice, eat your fill, and avoid risky things.

He now understands this very well.

“Mr. Valon, I’m glad you reported the information to me. Although you didn’t bring anything, I still think you are trustworthy. You can take half of any of those gold coin boxes by the door.”

After thinking it over, Bai Zhi decided to give Valon some rewards.

For her, maintaining loyalty with money was the easiest thing to do.

Compared to other fancy methods, this approach is simple, effortless, and effective.

"Thank you for your trust. We will definitely dig out more information about these things!"

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Valon was overjoyed.

To be honest, he was a little apprehensive before coming, after all, it was hard to say whether Bai Zhi would believe him if he just talked nonsense.

But he didn't expect the other party to trust him so much, and to give him the gold coins so easily.

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

If I were to fabricate some information in the future to exchange for gold coins...

But he immediately suppressed that thought.

To become a gang leader, one's intelligence must be above that of an ordinary person.

He knew one thing very well: in this world, integrity is paramount. He could cheat Bai Zhi once, but he couldn't cheat her every time. Losing future income for one instance of money was a very foolish one-off deal.

He knew very well that if Bai Zhi's condition was made public, countless people would be vying to do it.

It was an immense blessing for him to receive it.

Using tricks might get you some money, but it will also make you feel bad.

He can tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every other meal.

"Let me see. As for the location, it's really remote and sparsely populated in Europe."

Looking at the dots on the map, Bai Zhi stroked her chin. At this distance, it wouldn't take her long to fly there.

Since her subordinates were all busy and she had nothing to do, going over to get the items to study them was a good option.

"Valon, would you like to experience what it's like to fly?"

Bai Zhi suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Valon was somewhat confused.

But immediately, he felt his hand being roughly pulled, followed by a terrible gust of wind being poured into his mouth.

He looked around in horror, only to find that he had somehow appeared in the sky and was flying at an extremely fast speed in one direction.

He could feel his arms and body being torn apart by the speed, but strangely, he was unharmed and could only see everything moving rapidly.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally stood unsteadily on the ground.

"vomit...."

Valon leaned against a tree, and immediately vomited up the bread he had eaten that morning.

"We've arrived at our destination. What did the Holy Lord say about the method to break the seal on the statue?"

Bai Zhi looked around.

This is a small valley that looks quite picturesque. If it weren't for the Holy Lord's intelligence, most people would never have imagined that such a dangerous thing was buried inside.

The treasures in this world are far more numerous than those mentioned in the original work.

"Ugh... The Holy Lord said that to break the seal, one needs to recite the corresponding incantation and use the power of fire. I remember the incantation very clearly, so I'll tell you about it now."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's question, Valon, who was vomiting, had no choice but to suppress his physical discomfort and began to repeat to Bai Zhi what the Holy Lord had told him.

"Beneath the vast sky, in the eternal night, the seal's lock, heed my command! Ancient trees reach the heavens, the five elements cycle, the key to unlock the seal, power returns to the heart!"

As the power released by Angelica dahurica was released, the spell began to slowly take effect.

The once picturesque valley was suddenly shrouded in a thick fog, and a distorted building appeared in the very center of the valley.

It was a building that was hard to describe in words, because it was constantly changing. One second it looked like a black mountain range, and the next it turned into bubbles surging in an endless abyss.

Bai Zhi frowned. The moment the seal was broken, she could feel that her surroundings were being affected. Some dreamlike, psychedelic bubbles kept rising, adding a hazy beauty to everything.

"interesting."

Bai Zhi was not afraid, because she could feel that the crazy babbling that floated in her ears seemed to want to drill into her mind, but the power of the horse talisman easily neutralized it.

This turned these ramblings into somewhat annoying mutterings.

"puff"

Without saying a word, Valon, who was standing next to Bai Zhi, collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi immediately gave Valon a Horse Charm buff, and then slowly walked towards the building.

The building's entrance twisted and turned, yet Bai Zhi felt a strong sense of déjà vu about it.

After careful consideration, this building is somewhat like the hotel alleyways in the game Pinocchio, constantly rotating and twisting, with deep red light emanating from within, giving people an unsettling feeling.

Unaffected by the eerie appearance, Bai Zhi walked straight through the door and stepped inside.

The interior space is vast and boundless, as if it encompasses all of time and space.

A chaotic array of pillars supports an invisible ceiling, each pillar entwined with invisible tendrils that wriggle gently and emit a chilling glow.

In the center of the room, or rather, at a focal point in the amorphous space, there exists a massive vortex composed of shadows and unknown light.

303 The Primordial Dream of Chaos

As Bai Zhi approached the center, she discovered that a series of unpleasant drumbeats were emanating from the vortex.

To call this the sound of a drum is an insult to drums; it's practically noise.

"Bai Zhi, you're back! Look, I succeeded! I developed a medicine that can make you grow taller. Now I'm a tall and beautiful girl too."

Just as Bai Zhi tried to get closer, in the blink of an eye, she saw that the surrounding environment had transformed into the familiar fairy boat, and she also heard Bai Lu's familiar voice.

Moreover, this Bai Lu is not the small one, but a beautiful purple-haired girl with long legs and a broad chest.

The moment Bai Lu saw Bai Zhi, she immediately and very naturally hugged her.

"This feels so realistic..."

The moment Bai Zhi was embraced by "White Dew," the soft and squeezing sensation, along with the aroma of herbs mixed with her body fragrance, immediately filled her nose.

It's so beautiful that you'll never want to leave.

However, the next moment, the power of the horse talisman took effect, and the scene she had just seen returned to normal, with the sound of drums resembling noise constantly emanating from the surroundings.

The scene shifts again, this time to an endless sea of ​​stars. She sees the stars congratulating her, the universe conveying its will to her, and she becomes an immortal star goddess, the power of destiny in her hands capable of overturning everything.

"This dream was pretty cool, but it felt so fake."

Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, and the power of destiny flowed in her hand, but her intuition told her that the true power of the Star God did not stop there, and it could not be distinguished simply by its overwhelming strength.

A cool sensation flowed through her body again, shattering the images as she moved closer to the center.

Here, it's now clear what exactly exists in the center.

It was a distorted statue, but the scene changed again, and this time the dream was even more outrageous.

She dreamt that she became a powerful god, and that all existence in the world was nothing but a dream she had, and that everything was nothingness.

In her dream, countless gods were created, playing jarring music in her ears. Other gods continuously developed civilizations and then destroyed them, all to please her in the dream and prevent her from ending this beautiful dream.

Bai Zhi shook her head, regaining her clarity.

This time, she came to the statue, but to Bai Zhi's surprise, the statue had changed and looked like her.

On the base of the statue, she herself is lying on a pillow, seemingly fast asleep.

Bai Zhi picked up the statue with some curiosity.

The material of this statue feels very strange; it is neither gold nor wood, nor stone nor plastic. If I had to describe it, it would be a dreamlike lightness, giving one an unreal feeling when touched.

"Hmm...this is really interesting."

After picking up the statue, Bai Zhi paused for a moment as some information entered her mind.

This statue, called the Primal Chaos Dream, does indeed possess the ability to manipulate dreams on a large scale, just as Valon told her.

Having this item, although it cannot affect a powerful demon like Shendu.

However, its power is far too great for humans.

If she could, she could even use this thing to let a person live countless lives in their sleep.

Dreams can be a world of extravagant wealth, or a cruel and bleak battlefield.

It's even possible to transform dreams into a giant online game world where people fight monsters and level up.

Just as she saw in that illusion.

The dreams of the primordial and chaotic gods have become the reality for everyone.

The only downside is that its area of ​​effect is too small, only about one kilometer in size, making it practically useless. It would be great if it could be expanded.

"Forget it, these are not things I should worry about. Let's go back first."

Bai Zhi shook her head, put the statue away, and planned to study it later.
