Chapter 2098: Chapter 2099: Meeting in a Dream

999? What does this mean?

As Rhein was puzzling over this, the foremost number suddenly fluctuated, and 999 swiftly turned into 998.

998/999.

Looking at this number, Rhein roughly guessed that perhaps the usage limit of this ”communicator” is 999? He had currently used it once, so the 999 at the beginning turned into 998.

In that case, when the number reaches zero, wouldn’t this communicator become useless?

This won’t do, a communicator that can only be used 999 times? That’s definitely a huge flaw!

Although all communicators have a usage limit, 999 times is really too few. If used as a communicator, even if he doesn’t intervene, it’s estimated that other wizards in Barbarian Cave would voluntarily stop using it.

Rhein couldn’t help but smile, doesn’t this indirectly prove that crystal balls are still superior!

Crystal balls are not only mysterious, noble, traditional, and transparent, but now they also boast a new advantage worth mentioning: durability!

At the thought of this single-lens glasses being introduced, potentially reinforcing the status of crystal balls, Rhein felt pleased. In fact, he now wanted to see the expressions of those present, especially Lianna’s.

”Don’t think I don’t know that you all at the tea party ridicule crystal balls, I’m well aware of it. Look at the single-lens glasses refined by Angel, now you should know, aren’t crystal balls better?” Holding this smug feeling, Rhein looked around.

However, before he could see Lianna’s expression, a strange power suddenly intruded.

Rhein instinctively wanted to resist, when Tree Spirit spoke: ”Almost forgot to explain, Angel said, if you feel an abnormal power intrusion, don’t resist, there’s no danger.”

After listening to Tree Spirit’s words, Rhein thought for a moment and released his spiritual power’s hold on the abnormal power.

Angel would never harm them, and he also wanted to find more flaws in this single-lens glasses, how would he know unless he experienced it?

As the strange power enveloped him, Rhein found his perception of the outside world becoming increasingly blurred.

This feeling, it’s a bit like...sleeping?

The weightless illusion of the mind made Rhein’s consciousness continuously sink, as if falling into an abyss constructed by a happy dream. When Rhein’s consciousness became slightly clearer, he found himself on a narrow path glowing with faint light.

”Dream Bridge.” Although Rhein was not a Dream Sorcerer, he was at the apex of the Southern Domain Wizard World’s pyramid, and almost immediately perceived the truth of this faintly glowing narrow path.

”Since it’s a dream bridge, then the exit ahead must be the dreamscape?” Rhein frowned: ”If it’s a dream, whose dream would it be?”

Besides these questions, Rhein thought of another matter. Previously, Sanders communicated with Angel, who was trapped in the ruins, seemingly through Enter Dream.

Wouldn’t it be by this method?

If it really is this method, then that would be problematic. The communication between Sanders and Angel seemed not far, but it crossed realms!

For other wizards, if such cross-realm communication is achievable, then the 999 times limit of the single-lens glasses seems not so unbearable?

Rhein actually understood the terror of such a communication method, but at the thought that it might topple the status of crystal balls, his mood was inevitably sour.

Rhein shook his head, discarding the subjective emotions, deciding to rationally assess and first explore how this ”communication through dreams” is achieved?

Step by step, Rhein walked forward, through the not-so-long Dream Bridge, he saw a brightly gleaming entrance.

This is the Gate of Dreams.

Without hesitation, Rhein stepped directly into it.

The surrounding radiance instantly merged into Rhein’s body, and he felt as if his consciousness was forged into substance by these radiances, bringing a strange sense of heaviness. Before he could deeply understand, the radiance covering his vision slowly dispersed...

Like a curtain being drawn, he appeared on a lakeside.

The lake water stretching to the horizon shimmered with ripples in the afternoon sunlight. The shore was dotted with sparse trees and vast green meadows.

Rhein also saw a Flower Demon with wings flying over the lake’s surface, the breeze stirring ripples on the water.

Everything seemed as beautiful as a fairy tale world, full of sunlight and vibrant life.

”Is this...a dream?”

Before crossing the Dream Bridge, Rhein was pondering: Whose dream would be on the other side of the Dream Bridge? Or is it just the vast Realm of Dreams itself?

But once he truly entered this world, Rhein’s first question became: ”Is this really a dreamscape?”

He couldn’t believe it, how could a dream be this real?

The tactile feel of the ground, the smell of the air, even the gentle warmth of sunlight on his skin didn’t feel like a dreamscape. Instead, it felt like a real world!

Based solely on the external environment, he truly couldn’t convince himself he was in a dream. More than a dream, he felt this place was an Other-dimensional Space.

However, as Rhein shifted his thoughts from the external environment back inward, he also noticed some obviously strange aspects.

Such as his current body.

While Rhein was about to explore within his body, a barrage of chaotic voices reached his ears:

”Is this a dreamscape? I clearly crossed the Dream Bridge, but why does it not feel like a dream?”

”Is this body mine? It seems like it is, I can feel the Bloodline Power, but it seems to be dormant now.”

”I can also sense the Mind Space, but can’t utilize the dormant magic power inside...”

”Although I can’t use the magic power within the Magic Vortex, there seems to be some thin magic power around, I absorbed a portion to test, and found it strange. It feels false, yet real.”

Turning around, Rhein saw that Tree Spirit, and everyone who had previously donned the single-lens glasses, appeared nearby.

Lianna was questioning whether the surrounding world was real.

Wallace was continuously sensing both internally and externally, fully exhibiting the style of the Academy Faction.

Tree Spirit did not speak, rather, it stood by a large tree, looking at it in confusion.

Ironclad Granny didn’t speak either; she just sat cross-legged on the grass with a smile, enjoying the breeze on her face, gazing into the shadowy outline of a distant city.

With a face full of confusion, Rhein approached the group: ”Why are you all in this dreamscape? Are you real?”

”Or are you all characters imagined by someone dreaming?”

Rhein’s question shifted the group’s confusion about the external environment onto each other.

Indeed, if this truly is a dreamscape, how could they possibly gather together?!

Bear in mind, dreaming is random! If it were really possible to locate individuals in dreams, Dream Sorcerers would have done so long ago, yet to this day, no Dream Sorcerer has achieved that!

Wallace set aside his studies on Mind Space and magic power, frowned, and said: ”I entered through the Dream Bridge, I can confirm I have an independent consciousness.”

At the same time, Wallace recited a sequence of Bodu Secret Words.

Bodu Secret Words are dynamic language passwords, requiring a comparison of the moment, inherent media, and current state of mind, presenting a unique password.

This was a non-fixed mental arithmetic password developed by wizard forebears after discovering impostor replacements of teammates in some peculiar relics.

Once Wallace recited the sequence of Bodu Secret Words, Rhein calculated the content corresponding to the secret words, determining that the current Wallace should possess independent consciousness; at the very least, he was not Rhein’s own dream-born fantasy.

Rhein knew he had a primary consciousness, and that Wallace also now had a primary consciousness, suggesting they might have genuinely encountered one another amidst the boundless dreamscape...

Of course, assuming this truly is the Dream Realm.
