Chapter 575: Making a Fake Certificate

A normal trialist like Searle or Grey? Or a nightmare incarnation like the old witch?

If the identity of a normal trial-taker is a path provided to ordinary people, then the identity of a nightmare incarnation is equivalent to a hidden route specifically for professionals and those who have mastered a certain amount of dream knowledge.

The old witch soup in front of him was the 'special item' that opened the hidden route. From this pot of soup, Avis obtained more fragmentary information about another path.

There is no difference in superiority or inferiority between the two approaches; they just differ in focus and process.

If a normal trial-taker wants to reach the end and obtain the inheritance, he must face different tests and try his best to pass them.

Every time a test is successfully passed, the strength of the trial-taker will be improved. This includes both the power infused into the test-taker by the dream rules themselves, as well as certain special items obtained during the test.

Trialists who successfully pass three tests are eligible for the title of senior trialist and gain partial authority over the entire dream world.

Even if they were just ordinary people before, once they successfully reach this step, their own strength will be enough to compete with fourth-level professionals in their dreams.

But starting from the third time, the horrific existence they faced in the process of clearing the level changed from an aggregate of dream operating rules without self-consciousness to the incarnation of other people who walked the nightmare path [Nightmare Spirit].

Like the Trialists, Nightmare Spirits are also divided into different levels. However, their main way to upgrade is not to kill the Trialists, but to devour other Nightmare Spirits.

By killing an ordinary trial participant in a dream, the nightmare spirit can randomly obtain about half of the power and authority fragments. However, by devouring other nightmare spirits, it can inherit more than 90% of the opponent's power.

Theoretically, if a nightmare spirit could infinitely devour other creatures of its kind, then its path could become extremely powerful in a short period of time, and it could even quickly gain complete control of the entire dream and successfully obtain the inheritance.

The trial-takers improve at a slower rate, but they also have advantages, that is, in each test, they will receive a certain number of times of dream power protection, and the power of the nightmare spirit will be partially suppressed accordingly, so there will not be a situation where they are 100% certain to die.

Looking at the dark soup in the big pot, Avis hesitated for a moment.

It seems that the Nightmare Spirit route seems to be more suitable for him.

But is it really like this? It's a simple truth. If the nightmare path is really as good as the information says, then this dream world has existed until now, and someone should have obtained the inheritance long ago.

The fact that the test of this world still exists today only goes to show that so far, everyone who has chosen the nightmare path has failed.

Avis didn't think that in the long years of this dream world's existence, no strong person would reach here. This route must have some unknown flaws.

After a moment, he made a decision.

He plans to try both approaches.

This involves his own particularity, because he did not arrive here through normal means, but entered through random teleportation at the edge of the dream.

The number of dreams in the deep dream world is like grains of sand in the desert. His arrival here is actually equivalent to entering a specific grain of sand without any instructions.

This is not even a coincidence, the probability is extremely close to a miracle.

This resulted in him not having an official identity in this dream until he could get an "identity certificate" of his own. And if he could get one, he could also get another.

To put it simply, he had made a fake certificate before, and now he is going to make another one, and then decide which one to present depending on the circumstances.

After finalizing the plan, Avis carefully took out a spoonful of soup from the cauldron. The black water gradually changed shape in mid-air as his thoughts progressed, and eventually turned into a rose as dark as the night.

At the same time, as Avis moved, the cauldron in front of him lost its power essence and turned into bubbles and dissipated.

Avis caught the rose floating in the air and carefully pinned it in the chest pocket of his dress.

Then, with the black rose as the core, like a ball of ink spreading, his moon-white magic dress was quickly stained black. At the same time, a cold and desperate temperament quickly spread from him.

"Is this my nightmare spirit form?"

Avis casually condensed a magic mirror in front of him and looked at himself in the mirror.

Although he didn't make any movement, the figure in the mirror gave him an evil smile.

"Don't you want to look in the mirror in your dreams?"

Looking at the strange figure in the mirror, Avis also smiled. After staring at each other for a while, the smile on the shadow in the mirror gradually shrank, and finally returned to expressionlessness.

This was a battle with dream anomalies, and Avis easily won and gained control of the reflection in the mirror, which was equivalent to his Nightmare Spirit talent skill.

After becoming somewhat familiar with the abilities of the Nightmare Spirit, Avis thought for a moment and restored himself to his status as a trial-taker.

From the outside, the jet-black dress he was wearing turned back to moon white, and the black rose on his chest turned into a silver gem brooch.

In these two states, Avis could feel two different senses of calling, which should be the different trial scenes corresponding to the two identities, but he had not responded before.

He planned to try the trial-taker's test first. After all, this one was protected by a novice, so it should be safer.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And Avis was also very curious about what a trial of his own would be like.

As he actively responded to the call in his heart, wonderful changes occurred around him.

The magic mirror in front of him suddenly began to change on its own. The mirror surface began to deform and expand, and gorgeously carved pure gold edges appeared around the mirror surface, and finally it turned into a huge square floor-standing mirror that he had seen in Yuelin Castle.

His own figure was clearly reflected on the spotless mirror. Unlike the previous magic mirror, the reflection in this mirror was like looking in a mirror in reality, without any strange phenomena.

Following the invisible guidance of the dream world, Avis slowly stretched out his hand toward the mirror, and the reflection in the mirror made the same movement as him.

Finally, the two hands wearing pure white gloves touched each other.

With a flash of light, Avis' figure suddenly disappeared in the mirror.

After an unknown amount of time, when he could see his surroundings clearly again, Avis found that the scene around him became very familiar.

He was currently in a field of hyacinths, rosemary, and bluebells, beneath the hillside above Moonreach.

A clear, unnamed stream flows out from the sunset forest on the side, gurgling through the vibrant wilderness and into the sapphire-like Olivendi Lake in the distance.

But what made him feel most strange was that there seemed to be another figure here that he was very familiar with.

"Chirp—(Fiona?)"

But soon, Avis noticed something was wrong. The sound he made was a little strange, and the flowers and plants around him were abnormally tall.

He looked down at his body. He was still wearing the moon-white magic dress and white gloves, but he did not seem to be in human form.

Exposing above the gloves were limbs covered with white fur.

Avis walked forward a few steps and came to the stream. Reflected in the water was a strange rabbit wearing a dress but with pink eyes and long rabbit ears.
