Chapter 1000: The Worm Abyss and the Kingdom of Shadows

It wasn't that Aiwass was planning to take Yasen to Morgan's House of Wonderful Things.

Even if Isabel didn't mind, he would mind.

To be honest, the "wonderful little props" inside were all gifts from Ms. Morgan, full of the flavor of the path of love. At least half of them, Aiwass hadn't used yet.

If an outsider enters there, wouldn't he think that the great Pope is a pervert!

So there was no way Aiwass would bring anyone here.

Aiwass intends to bring Arsen into the dream world through his real talents and knowledge.

This level of knowledge was certainly not something he had learned from Avalon, but rather was part of the knowledge inheritance necessary for advanced divine arts.

The teacher was still reading from the textbook, and the other students were busy with their own tasks. But the fact that Aiwass stood up and pulled Arsèn away still surprised everyone. Even Mia, the dream host, looked up at them, but soon she was lost in the beauty of the "younger version of Arsèn" beside her.

Because the dream owner doesn't care, no one else will care either.

When Aiwass and Yasen walked out of the classroom, Yasen suddenly had an idea and looked back subconsciously.

——At that moment, Yashen was suddenly horrified.

He clearly saw that everyone in the classroom at the back - including the teacher, Mia and "Young Yasin" - all turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Let's go, don't worry about it."

Aiwass pulled Yasen aside and said casually, "That's the dreamer's vigilance and resistance to the dreamer's subconscious. It's like the tissue fluid secreted when a wound senses a foreign object..."

“…Oh, sorry.”

Yasen interrupted quietly, "I only have an elementary school education, so I don't understand."

Aiwass was silent for a moment, then continued, "Anyway, if Mia were a transcendent, she would instinctively resist and attack us. After all, this is her dream, and we could easily be injured or even killed by her imagination... I mean, if we don't want to cause permanent mental trauma to her.

"There are many ways to enter the dream world from the dream realm, and the two you mentioned are both correct. But the common point and the key point is actually 'staying away from the existing boundaries of dreams.'

"For the dreamer who constructs his dream on the seashore, it is impossible for him to imagine what is beyond the sea. Therefore, it is something that does not exist.

"But here comes the question—since there's an ocean here, if you follow the ocean outward, will you suddenly fall into the void?"

“…No way.”

Yasen gradually understood: "Because 'the ship sails on the sea', and the sea is continuous. Unless the other party believes that there is 'the end of the world' at the end of the sea, then the ship cannot sail into the void."

"Right," Aiwass nodded appreciatively. "Similarly. Since this is a cliff, that means the side closest to your feet must be rock, right? Theoretically, the rock must extend high enough to form a bottomless cliff. And when you're standing on the mountain, you can't see the bottom of the cliff and see it as an abyss because you're too far away... So what if you're falling? Aren't you getting closer and closer to it?"

"But during this process, the cliff's mountain body is continuous—just like the sea. Because the dreamer didn't fall off the cliff, this place wasn't 'refreshed'—or rather, it wasn't imagined or constructed by him. Yet, its composition is reasonable and inevitable..."

"I see."

Hearing this, Yasen understood everything: "Find the weak point of the dream!"

"A weak point in the scene."

Aiwass added: "Rather than logic or events - it's a place that should exist in the other person's cognition, but it doesn't exist because he is far away from it."

"...So," Yasen frowned slightly, "if I fall from a dream, I'll enter the dream world? But based on my experience... if I fall from a dream, the result will be a sudden awakening, right?"

"Waking up in a dream—that's proof you've brushed past the gate to the dream world."

Aiwass said meaningfully.

In principle, someone who suddenly wakes up from a dream is actually only one step away from entering the dream world. For example, someone falling off a cliff...they're actually crashing because of "insufficient rendering speed." Just like a game crashing due to a video card memory failure...

As they fall, their brains try to quickly weave a picture of "what's under the cliff" according to the speed of the fall, but the sudden high blood pressure causes high blood pressure. Ultimately, they fail to complete the rendering, and a "dream collapse" occurs.

This is similar to how inexperienced and uninformed people wake up from erotic dreams, or dreams of being murdered, because "the rendering module is missing, a key component is missing"... People can't dream about things they don't know or can't imagine.

But if in this process, you do not try to "analyze" or "fabricate", but give up thinking... for example, when jumping off a cliff, choose to close your eyes.

——As long as the dream does not collapse at this time, then when consciousness returns again, the dreamer will fall into the boundless darkness and reach the "Worm Abyss" of the dream world.

This place wasn't the domain of any Celestial Being, any Apostle, or any Pillar God. If anything, it had some connection to "nothingness."

This place is teeming with worms ranging from two or three centimeters to seven or eight hundred meters in length. These worms devour the dreams of mortals in the physical world, using them to strengthen the foundations of the Dream Realm. They can also devour the corpses of phantom demons thrown off the cliff, transforming them into nutrients and transforming them into power for the Dream Realm through their feces.

This is the "garbage recycling station" of the dream world, an extremely dangerous place.

If one is accidentally devoured by the worms, their physical body might even lose their soul. In the best-case scenario, their soul will suffer trauma—a bite or a bump might wake them up in excruciating pain, but if they are swallowed whole, there's no way back to the physical world.

See you next time, it will be the defense.

Those who cannot fly freely in their dreams must climb the cliff if they want to leave here.

There are densely packed protruding blades on the worm abyss.

These blades are as white as moonlight, but they are actually sharp and cold "moonlight salt." Once the worms touch this special salt, they will immediately dehydrate and die. Therefore, they are trapped here, can only continue to devour dreams, and can't go anywhere.

When the worms multiply so much that they swarm out one after another, it is called a "worm plague."

According to the elves' records, this kind of disaster has occurred three times so far. While not world-destroying, it's still terrifying—metaphorically, like a toilet exploding. And it explodes in a very drastic way... like, for example, turning the toilet into a warm fountain.

Coming into contact with them could lead to their own "decomposition." They even eat the trees, grass, deserts, and oceans of the dream world. Once swallowed by their mouths, they "erase" everything and return it to nothingness. Beyond that, they possess no special abilities; even a sprinkle of moonlight salt can kill them.

Aiwass didn't want to go to that dangerous and dirty place. In the Worm Canyon, there were only worms, and only worms were left!

These replies would be slowly devoured and absorbed by the Dream World to make up for the missing parts, but this did not prevent it from having the "stench of decay" that terrified the elven scholar.

——His destination was the Land of Shadows. At least he knew people there, and they weren't too perverted.

The method to enter the Kingdom of Shadows is also very simple.

That is to find "a place without light, and move forward through the gaps between shadows." A common approach is to find a dark forest...

But it is not impossible to find such a place in school.

I’m in good shape today, so I’ll continue writing!

I'm still writing the second chapter, and there's still one chapter left before 2 o'clock! Brothers, go to bed first!
