Ten years later.
The year 3460 of the Nora calendar.
The Great Wall of Dreams project has been preliminarily completed.
The docking ceremony between "Mechanical Skynet" and "Dream Network of All Beings" began.
The gray-white machine man stood on the top of the Tower of Babel, Nora's highest point.
With him as the center, Stella, Deep Space Wanderer and other strong men from the mechanical school controlled 10,086 silver-white butterfly-shaped mechanical creatures to fly up from all over Nora, turning into thousands of white lights and disappearing without a trace. These were the "Dream Butterflies".
Their raw materials are biological materials from nightmare overlords, and some core components are taken from nightmare monarchs. Therefore, although they may seem insignificant, their cost is extremely high. The materials of tens of thousands of dream butterflies are enough to create more than ten treasures.
Around the continent of Sauron.
Dozens of level 10 warriors appeared. The Great Wall of Dreams project was of utmost importance and must not fail. Levi personally guarded this place, standing tall in the sky.
After thousands of years of development, the School of Mechanics has already become a school of its own. It is now defined by the Council as a separate extraordinary path, the "Mechanic" path.
Level 9 Mechanic, also known as "Skynet Mechanic".
At this level, one can create one's own Skynet, or join someone else's Skynet to form a combined cluster Skynet, which is somewhat similar to the wizard tower system.
Currently, Hermann is the leader of Nora Skynet.
Because of his previous dream in the Skynet Universe, his experience of practicing and gaining insights under different time flow rates, and the support of the Mechanical Sage, he made rapid progress.
Now in the middle stage of level nine.
Madison was able to quickly become a god-level mechanic because of Soran's help and because he inherited the legacy of the original Skynet. But in this universe, the foundation of the mechanical school is like a blank sheet of paper. Everything needs to start from scratch, which is the biggest challenge.
Fortunately, the School of Mechanics has survived the most difficult years. With thousands of years of special support from the Parliament, the group of mechanics has grown stronger.
Especially the Ancient Dragon Continent, which can be called a cradle.
There are currently more than ten Skynet mechanics in Nora.
The Ancient Dragon Continent occupies half of it.
After the Nightmare War a thousand years ago, Deep Space Ronin, Stella, Enya and others successively stepped into the ninth level and devoted themselves to the Great Wall of Dreams project.
And there is Al, the son of Eniya, who, relying on his rare mechanical talent, has become a top-level mechanic of level eight, just one step away from level nine.
This is just the beginning.
Because the Mechanic is a one-man army and is so powerful and handsome, the popularity of registrations is now no less than that of the traditional elemental factions, but the school’s foundation is still shallow and there are not many strong people.
If the development continues at the current speed, one day, all of Nora and even this dark universe will be highly mechanized and complement the magic.
The Nora civilization empire was formed with the perfect fusion of technology and magic. Of course, Nora would not be able to see this scene in its first ten thousand years.
According to Herman's calculations, at the end of the 10th Nora millennium, if civilization had not been swallowed up by the Behemoth, he would be confident that he could have established a complete Nora Skynet.
In the 20th millennium, the pan-plane should be covered.
In the 30th millennium, it is expected to spread to the multiverse.
In the 40th millennium, an extremely complex Skynet system involving all walks of life and all aspects can bring this universe into a new era.
Of course, these are just assumptions. The first stage of Nora Skynet requires the strength of a god-level mechanic; the third stage of the multi-dimensional Skynet requires the strength of a supreme mechanic. And all of these cannot avoid one existence:
A dark place.
As the master of this universe.
When Skynet becomes powerful enough to unify the universe, it cannot sit idly by. Perhaps when Herman reaches level 10, he will face the same dilemma as Airbender.
That is the incompatibility between the extraordinary path and the universe.
God level is ok, but supreme is hopeless.
Eventually, you have to move and find the right universe.
Return to the Sky City.
The daydreamer chants a mantra.
The Dream Whirl rotates at high speed and distorts time and space. It opens up the channel between reality and dreams and builds a complex dream network system among all living beings.
After devouring billions of nightmare creatures, this treasure has shown a tendency to evolve into a cosmic-level treasure, but it still lacks an opportunity for a breakthrough.
at the same time.
The continent of Nora 136000 began to tremble.
In the core of the continent, huge silver-white pillars thousands of feet high broke out of the ground and reached the sky. They stood like white towers on the land of Nora.
Some small continents may have only one, but some large ones may have as many as hundreds. At the end of the giant pillars, there are spiral blades similar to those of wind turbines.
The frequency at which these blades rotate is exactly the same as the Dream Cycle.
They are the "windmills of dreams".
This treasure was developed jointly by the Mechanical School, the Dream School and the powerful men of the Supreme Council. There are a total of eight million of them in the whole of Nora.
Basically covers most of the prosperous places.
The three major components of "Dream Windmill", "Dream Butterfly" and "Dream Whirl" responded at the same time, and an invisible wave began to spread in Nora, quickly sweeping across.
Seven days later.
It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier above Nora's continent.
This is the "dream force field".
It is like a crystal wall, protecting the gathering places of civilizations. It cannot prevent the physical body from breaking in, but it can block the infiltration of the spirit. If any nightmare creature tries to invade the force field, the firewall of the Great Wall of Dreams will be activated.
Skynet will be the first to detect the enemy invasion and send "Dream Warriors" guarding the continents to enter the dream of the incident site through the Great Wall system.
In this way, when Dream Whirl is too busy, the mechanical creation can serve as a supplement and reduce Nora's losses.
After the war, the corpses of nightmare creatures can be used as nutrients for the Dream Whirlpool to continue promoting the development of this treasure.
Wait until the Great Wall system is installed and debugged.
The members of the Supreme Council breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, in order to attract the attention of nightmares and prevent them from causing damage, the Underworld Ancestor led a group of Underworld Emperors to harass the nightmare army and delay it.
Nora also sent some people.
at this time.
A dark place.
While fighting against the Lord of Terror, the Underworld Ancestor led his troops to retreat.
"Mission accomplished, all troops withdraw to Nora!"
Next, it is time to test the feasibility of the Dream Wall system. If it is feasible, the Underworld can temporarily use Nora as a base to reduce the losses in the war.
In order to contain the nightmare these days, a Hades Emperor in the Underworld was unfortunately killed, and the Void Emperor and a barbarian in Nora were seriously injured.
The Hades are all carefully selected elites, and the loss of one is equivalent to the loss of several other level 10 giants. The Hades Ancestor tries his best to preserve their true spirits.
In this way, it can be reincarnated and rebuilt.
But it will not play any role in the current war.
When the Lord of Terror saw the Underworld withdrawing its troops, he took advantage of the situation and pursued them. He personally led four hundred monarchs and tried to stop the Underworld until a figure appeared in front of them.
He was wearing black armor, blocking the retreating army of the underworld from behind, facing four hundred monarchs alone, without any fear, but instead raised the giant sword in his hand!
"I'm here to meet the so-called Chaos Emperor!"
Relying on the Lord of Terror by his side, the Disaster Lord exudes an aura that is infinitely close to the supreme. Many disaster scenes appear around him, which are terrifying and ominous.
"Hand of Cataclysm!"
It pressed the void, and time and space began to distort. In front of the great power of changing time, ordinary level 10 was completely unable to resist, and many monarchs retreated frantically for fear of being affected.
But then I saw a sword energy entangled with six colors of red, gold, black, white, green and phantom sweeping across the starry sky for 1.8 million miles, destroying all obstacles along the way!
The giant hand of disaster was shattered like a dead tree or rotten wood in front of the sword energy.
The Disaster Lord's expression changed. This was a full-strength attack, but it didn't even have the qualifications to stop Levi. Is this person really at the highest level?
The aftermath of the sword energy continued to move forward, locking onto himself.
"The group of dead and buried!"
In the void, a force of death that was completely different from that of the Hades emerged. It transformed into a giant tomb complex with a radius of one million miles, from which hundreds of millions of dead people crawled out.
Humans, aliens, extraordinary creatures… there were even the corpses of 108 ninth-level beings and 8 mythical creatures, exuding monstrous deathly aura and dragon might.
Levi's eyes narrowed, and murderous intent emerged.
This old guy killed so many legendary and mythical creatures by himself, and made them into puppets like corpse demons, many of which were extinct species in the multidimensional space.
The mythical creature at the head was a giant corpse dragon covered in decay and maggots, burning with strange red fire, and had a red lotus-shaped crown on its head.
Even in death, he still has the dignity of a king.
"Red Lotus Dragon?! You have already received your death!"
The Lord of Death sneered.
"You didn't expect that, did you? I have collected a lot of your knights' ancestors over the ages... This red lotus dragon should also be the source of your bloodline."
The Four Nightmare Emperors all have their own unique skills.
The "Endless Maze" of the Lost Lord, the "Land of Foolishness" of the Ignorant Lord, the "World of Disaster" of the Disaster Lord, and its "Group of Dead Buries".
The group of dead burials can be seen as another version of hell. The creatures suppressed here will become servants of death in fear, similar to corpse demons. If the death monarchs are not dead, they can be reborn countless times in the tomb, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
Therefore, some people say that the low-key Lord of Death is the strongest of the Four Emperors.
It depends on this kind of abnormal ability.
Levi's sword energy tore open the tomb, killing billions of corpses in seconds. Many legendary creatures also exploded, but the eight myths worked together to block their attacks.
The Death Monarch's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "It is indeed very strong."
The Disaster Monarch breathed a sigh of relief.
It took the combined efforts of the two emperors to barely resist this man.
Levi is undoubtedly the supreme fighter.
It retreated calmly behind the Lord of Terror.
“大人，此人的确有几分手段。”
恐怖之主血眼望着李维，并没有下场。
李维也没有继续攻击。
如今还不是决战之时，刚刚那一剑，他看似一脸怒气，实则未动用全力，也就七成实力。
随后，梦魇大军迅速散去。
回到军营，灾难君主问道：“大人，我们为何不一鼓作气的冲杀过去，若是再拖下去，此人真的至高了，我们可就没机会了。”
恐怖之主道：“我们的优势不在于正面战斗，论高层十级战力，冥界和诺拉联手，我们战胜的希望十分渺茫。依靠梦魇入侵从内部和底层，自下而上瓦解诺拉，才是我们的出路。”
十级是文明的天花板。
但文明的基石，却是芸芸众生。
冥界和诺拉在中低层战力方面，加起来也不如梦魇。自杀式袭击依然是消磨诺拉实力的最好方式。
望着和母河鏖战的梦魇意志。
恐怖之主内心有些许茫然。
没有外力介入的话，梦魇这一仗可能赢不了。
诺拉在混沌帝皇率领下开始反入侵梦魇之时，它们的实力就已经反超了梦魇……只是它们尚未察觉。
……
索伦大陆。
冥皇和冥界军队的身影落下。
李维望着迎面走来的冥祖道：“感谢女士。”
冥祖道：“梦境长城真的完成了？”
李维说道：“嗯，接下来就是实战检验了。若是能够大幅度减少诺拉伤亡，那我们便可以没有后顾之忧的大反攻了。”
至高议会迟迟不主动进攻。
便是在等待这一天。
梦魇可以不在乎它的子民。
诺拉不行，它经受不起巨无霸战争的无尽消耗。
这场文明生死之战，李维不光要赢，还要赢得漂亮，死伤最小化，这样才能无愧于那些投奔诺拉而来的生灵！
同时打赢梦魇后，诺拉也能更好应对试图渔翁得利的深渊和星界，否则底层消耗太多，文明断层。
诺拉的结局依旧是灭亡。
冥祖内心惊叹于诺拉的效率。
她想起索伦所说的【一万年太久，只争朝夕】，相比起长生种扎堆的巨无霸世界，这些如蜉蝣般朝生夕死的短命种们，反而在有限的时间内做了更多的事情。
“新陈代谢。”
冥祖喃喃着，心中警醒。
傲慢、陈旧、自我、麻木……这些是巨无霸的通病，冥界也有，或许唯有学习诺拉，才能避免步入梦魇后尘。
……
眼瞅着诺拉肉眼可见的壮大。
梦魇进退两难，只能加大入侵力度。
梦魇之灾在三万多个新大陆扩散蔓延，投入的噩梦生物难以计数，但梦魇震惊的发现，这一次情况有些不一样。
超过五成的兵力在潜入生灵梦境后就被诺拉的强者和机械造物发现，随后被围剿，再也没有归来。
一成的兵力被那该死的陀螺消灭，它愈发强大，瞬间可以分化出百万分身，同时作战，如同绞肉机。
一成的兵力死于某种未知的精神毒素，可能是诺拉最新研制的针对梦魇的瘟疫和剧毒。这种病毒对于正常生灵没有太大影响，可以长期潜伏在生灵体内。一旦有噩梦生物入侵梦境，便会激发活性，开始大面积感染。
所以只有三成的兵力成功潜入，但诺拉和冥界可以正常应对，不至于像此前那样手忙脚乱。
最终的结果就是：
梦魇这次大规模入侵，取得的战果反而小于之前。才覆灭了36个新大陆，对诺拉的体量来说属于“轻伤”。
反倒是梦魇自己，损失太多兵力。如果说之前是杀敌一千，自损八百，那这次便是杀敌一千，自损八千。
这让恐怖之主连忙叫停侵入。
它问道：“什么情况？怎么损失如此大？”
灾难君主脸色难看道：“据调查，可能是诺拉的梦境长城计划完成了，拦截了我们半数以上兵力……前些年的军事行动，可能就是为了掩护此次计划。大人，迟则生变，发起总攻吧！”
……
岁月流逝。
梦魇世界。
黄昏军团势如破竹，在梦魇老家一路横推，这期间，前线的梦魇军方并没有派遣任何人前来守家。
相反，它们继续将一些藏在梦魇世界躲避征召的强者带到诺拉战场，好像完全不在意家被偷了。
与此同时，四百位君主在恐怖之主的率领下，似乎在准备某种仪式。情报传至诺拉，至高议会紧急商量对策。
最终决定于诺拉历3500年主动发起反攻。不管梦魇在搞什么幺蛾子，诺拉都准备好了，只待全军出击！
……
十年后。
黑暗之地。
一道金光洞穿虚空，射入古龙大陆。
“主人，我回来了！”
身披帅气金甲，手握一柄金色长剑的小男孩来到古榕仙境，见到了正在教三兄妹战技的李维。
李维露出欣慰笑容。
“没有受伤吧？”
里昂拍着胸脯道：“一点事没有，就是被黑暗之地困了好久，仿佛陷入了无法醒来的怪梦，好在被最深处的饥饿所唤醒。我一人一剑，和黑暗之地大战了三天三夜，成功渡过大劫。”
李维内心一动。
黑暗之地对付里昂的方法，和自己如出一辙，看得出来，它作为宇宙之主能动用的手段，也是有限的。
李维问道：“你如今实力如何？我们马上要和梦魇大战了。”
里昂道：“应该比得上十级中期吧……我也不确定，我之道路，乃是“灵之主宰”，可吞噬、吸收灵魂。
并且在体内孕育出一条“灵性大河”，大河可以孕育出新的真灵，并且送入轮回，开启转世。”
李维听闻，沉默良久。
里昂问道：“主人，这样有问题吗？”
李维摇摇头。
“没问题，只是这样一来，必然和你母亲的道路相冲突，你想好怎么解决了吗？你想要至高或许很难。”
母河也不是什么善茬。
这类原初存在诞生强大生灵，扶持势力，发动战争……种种行为，都是为了自身的发展壮大。
里昂道：“我想过了，我也和母亲说了，我不会在黑暗宇宙成就至高，我会寻找规则缺失的宇宙，成就我之道路。”
李维道：“行，你知道就好。宇宙对我们这样的人来说，还是太小了，无限可能的多元宇宙，才是我们的归宿。”
里昂道：“我就是相信主人有实力带我离开，才走这条道路的，我不想永远活在母亲的阴影下，我要创造自己的世界。”
李维拍了拍里昂的肩膀道：“好，有志气。你好好巩固境界，接下来的大餐，可不能错过，这一次，让我们将梦魇彻底埋葬！”
……
三十年后。
诺拉历3500年。
古榕仙境，李维睁开双眼。
他的气势，又上升一个台阶。
赤帝、金帝、黑帝皆凝聚五星，白帝、青帝、魇帝则凝聚四星，六大维度，全部踏入十级中期层次。
27颗维度星辰轰下去，谁人可挡？
他打开熟练度面板。
李维———
传奇职业：混沌帝皇！
骑士职业：时乘六龙！
复合职业：融合中（目前进度30%）
……
“融合进度提升了10个百分点。”
李维将七宝叫过来。
“来，受我一剑！”
他三分实力的一剑斩出。
七宝满头大汗，驾驭七灾领域抵抗，
轰的一声，小家伙被轰飞，落在远处。
“主人你太强了，我挡不住啊。”
七宝飞过来，有些委屈道。
主人老是拿它来练招。
它不过一件顶级至宝，承受了生命不能承受之重。
“哈哈哈，最后一次了。”
李维将七宝收起来。
他将自己的神兵、巫师塔、法阵等各方面手段仔细检查了一遍，随后来到索伦大陆，圆桌前已坐满了人。
截至目前，诺拉十级强者扩张至72位。
过去几百年，又诞生了四位十级强者。
先是巨人大陆的铜巨人一族迎来了它们的王者。
【铜座圣尊·罗克尔】。
它是巨人族老牌强者，此次晋升有议会提前赐予的至宝“赤铜尊甲”作为底牌，顺利成为巨人族第8位十级。
至此。
主流八大巨人族，皆有各自王者镇守，还有一些相对式微的如“暗裔巨人”、“光甲巨人”部族还需要时间发展。论十级数量，巨人族反超蛮族，仅次于巫师文明。
另一位十级是绿鳞族的领袖。
它成名已久，两千多年前和李维相遇时，已经是老牌九级中期强者，加入诺拉不久后便踏入后期境界。
多次战争下来，它实力进步明显。七色鳞族重聚后，为了增强族群地位和话语权，七族合力供养星之撕裂者。
它渡劫前，至高议会还赠与其一件至宝，乃是三万年前一位已故传奇巫师所留，后又重炼了一番。
名为“地皇龙鳞铠”。
最终，它不负众望，打破七色鳞族无十级的诅咒。虽然不能和昔日以混沌之道十级的七色鳞主相提并论。
但依旧是鳞族文明重要一部。
这意味着，不需要走混沌之道，鳞族也能十级。作为一个潜力巨大的种群，未来诞生至高，也有可能。
The Seven-Colored Scale Clan also truly became a major Nora clan.
There are also two level ten wizards, both legendary wizards.
One is a member of the Dusk Team [Golden Wind Whisperer Jasmine]. According to Levi's final confirmation, she is not the reincarnation of a legend, but she is diligent in her practice and has excellent talent. In addition, she has no distractions, so she became the earliest legend.
Its legendary occupation is "Wind Speaker", its demiplane is "Realm of Harvest", and its legendary honorific is [Sage who communicates with the autumn wind, Queen who dominates the harvest].
The so-called golden wind is actually the autumn wind.
Her legendary career is also related to harvest.
The "Jasmine's Hand of Golden Wind" he created can quickly promote the development of plants and produce an effect similar to "flowers blooming in an instant", which involves the principle of time.
Therefore, her abilities tend to be more towards farming and research. In terms of fighting, she is not as good as the two legendary professions "Wind Singer" and "Wind Poet".
Levi appointed Ms. Jinfeng and Rowling as Nora's "Minister of Agriculture" and managers of major resource areas in the Dark Ancient Tower.
Every profession has its own expertise, and logistics is also a key part of war.
Now, Duke Rumeng and the Ice Sea Witch have also both reached the perfect ninth ring. One of them practices dual cultivation of earth and fire and works part-time as a knight, and the other practices dual cultivation of ice and water. Therefore, their progress after the ninth ring is not as good as Ms. Golden Wind, but once they become legends, they will definitely be extraordinary.
In addition, those beings who were listed as supernovas together with Levi at the time, such as "Thunder of Destruction", "Sword of Light", "Hand of the God of Fire", etc., are all senior nine-ring masters.
They are also the seeds of future legends.
The second legend is [White Banker Nascimento].
Legendary title "Silver Saint Lord".
He was once the dean of the Body Refining Academy. He took over the position after the rise of Gandalf. Ten years ago, he was successfully promoted to a legend and became the second legend of the Metal School.
Its legendary occupation is "Silver Soul". Its demiplane is "Silver Soul Palace". Its legendary honorific is [The eternal silver soul, the master who controls all silver].
Unlike the Bronze Lord who manipulates bronze puppets, the Silver Lord's ability lies in strengthening metals. He borrowed the soul-awakening spells of the Life Faction and created his own legendary spell:
Its name is "Nascimento's Silver Spirit".
This spell can endow any solid metal object around it with temporary spirituality, condensing into a fighting spirit with legendary strength.
The strength of the fighting spirit depends on the mental power of the Silver Saint. The fighting spirit can not only attack, but also transform into silver armor to protect the body, which is extremely useful.
After the legend, the Silver Lord turned back and focused on the way of body training. He often went to Gondor to ask Gandalf for advice and almost became Gandalf's disciple.
So far.
There are 25 legendary wizards in the world, double the number before the Golden Age.
There are 450 Nora Great Wizards and over 700 Level 9 Aliens. This is based on the fact that many Level 9 warriors are killed in war every year.
Li Wei said: "Nora and the Underworld coalition are unprecedentedly powerful, and our Dream Wall system has also achieved excellent results. This is the 3500th year of Nora.
In this era, the Mother River and Nightmare Will are entangled, which has bought us precious opportunities. The Abyss and the Star Realm have not yet ended, trying to take advantage of the situation. "
Our plan is to destroy the nightmare 4,000 years ago in Nora.
Next, there will be a major counterattack war that will determine the fate of civilization.
Except for the troops staying in Nora, the rest of you will follow me into the dark land and destroy the nightmare ritual. Don't hesitate to use the Dark Ancient Tower when you encounter danger."
Taking the initiative to attack is risky. But now is different from the past. Nora is strong enough. There is no need to passively take a beating and defend conservatively. That would stretch the battle line too long, and the enemies Nora faces might even have to face an abyss.
The two giants have a lot of hatred, but before the life-and-death crisis, the possibility of joining forces cannot be ruled out. The advantage that Nora has worked so hard to build will be wiped out.
But to be on the safe side, in order to give the dark army time to turn back for rescue, it is still necessary to arrange some level ten combat forces to defend Nora.
On one hand, there are the Daydreamers, the Fiery Star Wizards and other old family members. On the other hand, Hermann's Mechanical God will also be on standby at any time.
He can now guide 15 gods to come.
In the end, there were nearly 30 level 10 warriors from Nora and the Underworld left in Nora.
The other ten levels will all go into battle without sparing any effort!
Levi looked at everyone and finally gave the order.
"Action begins!"
