Chapter 2391: Chapter 504: Nightmare Evolution! All Senses Awakened, Nothing Can Hide!
"Still want to go to the Nightmare World?"
Levi was slightly shocked in his heart.
Having just escaped from the tigerās mouth, do you want to enter again?
Freud asked:
"How about it?"
Levi said:
"Sir, let me think about it."
Freud smiled.
"Of course, thereās no hurry with this. Whenever youāve made up your mind, you can contact me or my two assistants at any time, I live in Dreamland City."
[Dreamland City] is Freudās Sky City, which has just been built over the years, right next to [Black Abyss City].
Levi said:
"Okay."
Levi chatted with the Daydreamer about other things, but most topics related to the Nightmare World and the School of Dreams.
Freud even generously shared his nightmare years inside the Lost Monarch.
He didnāt view these as hardships, but rather felt grateful, even fortunate.
Without those infinite reincarnations, he might have long vanished among the crowd, turning into mere dust from ten thousand years ago and failed to achieve the status of a Legendary Wizard.
He really is an optimistic person; this was Leviās first impression. Perhaps this unique trait is possessed by every great Legendary Wizard.
Finally, Levi thought for a moment and asked:
"Forgive me for asking, Mr. Freud, Iāve explored the Nightmare World for a long time. Given the vastness and abundant resources of the Nightmare World, why hasnāt anything similar to magical oddities emerged? Is it because I havenāt explored enough? How did you obtain Legendary Artifacts and ascend to legendary status?"
It was a question he had always had. Seeing Freud as a senior fond of sharing, Levi took the opportunity to inquire.
Freud pushed up his glasses and said with a smile:
"Thatās a very good question. Even if you explore the entire Nightmare World, you wonāt find natural oddities; this involves some deep supernatural logic and relates to the inherent traits of the Nightmare World. In the primary spiritual plane, itās impossible to give birth to oddities.
If you travel the astral world, youāll find that thereās no oddities there either; all magical oddities are nurtured in the Prime Material plane. Among them, although the Abyss is a material plane, it has its particularities, and itās likewise unable to actively birth natural oddities, as is the Underworld. These four super worlds are unparalleled, beyond the reach of ordinary logic.
Though we canāt proactively create oddities, wizards can use the techniques Lord Sauron devised to craft oddities according to our needs. This technique is called [Sorrenās Sky Stealing Technique]. When you reach the Great Wizard Realm, you will obtain this method from the congress, study it, and understand."
Levi asked:
"When you entered the Lost Monarch, were you not yet a Grand Wizard, sir?"
Freud said:
"Thatās right. During the 666th reincarnation inside the Lost Monarch, someone taught me this cultivation method. Without him, even if I reincarnated ten thousand times, I couldnāt have crafted my own Legendary Artifact, achieved legendary status, and escaped the cycle of reincarnation."
"Was it Sauron?"
Levi roughly guessed who it was.
Freud nodded.
"I managed to escape the Lost Monarch with my effort, aided by Lord Sauronās time-traveling help... You may not be aware, but inside the Lost Monarch, thereās a genuine god trapped."
Leviās heart shook.
He marveled at the horror of the Lost Monarch, as well as Sauronās omniscience.
He suddenly recalled the shadow the Time Dragon had observed; who could it be?
Was it Sauron? Could Sauron time travel to the ancient ages?
This involves complex timelines; just thinking about it made Leviās head spin.
Or perhaps the shadow created Sauron, including previous Ultimate Creations?
Freud said:
"[Sorrenās Sky Stealing Technique] is truly forbidden knowledge; for safetyās sake, only Grand Wizards are qualified to learn it. I canāt pass it on to you; once you rise to ninth-circle, the Wizard Council will naturally grant it to you.
No matter the reasons forcing you to wander, unable to receive it from the congress, Sauron has ways beyond our imagination to deliver this method to you. Thatās the means of the ancestor of wizards."
Levi said:
"So, Sauron didnāt die, right? Mr. Freud."
Freud said with a smile:
"I donāt know about that either. Dead or alive, ultimately, itās just a definition for ordinary life. Reaching Sauronās level, perhaps death and living no longer hold meaning; he might have died, or he might not."
Levi understood: As if dead...
Freud said:
"The Legendary Artifact I crafted, called [Illusion Dream Butterfly], draws from my 1001 reincarnation experiences inside the Lost Monarch and the dream power the Lost Monarch used to build its maze. The Illusion Dream Butterfly allows for dream connections with the dreamworlds of any butterfly within the Multidimensional Plane.
More than eighty thousand years ago, when our Dreamland Steeple decided to explore Nightmare World for the first time, I once captured a very ordinary Wind and Moon Butterfly at the junction of Nightmare World and Nora, made a specimen."
Levi muttered to himself:
"Wind and Moon Butterfly, Zero-level Creature, the scales on its wings have potent hallucinogenic effects, commonly used by apprentice wizards of the School of Dreams as casting materials, suitable for executing [Small Hallucination Technique]. Sir, did you use the Wind and Moon Butterflyās dream to escape the control of the Lost Monarch?"
Freud said:
"Thatās correct. The Wind and Moon Butterfly is more suitable than regular butterflies for establishing dream connections. This creature is present as specimens in many wizardsā homes at the Dreamland Steeple."
