Beside the bonfire, Lucent noticed that several explorers got up and walked into the darkness. He couldn't help but get up and followed in a panic: "Hey, wait for me!"
Ivan lightly snapped his fingers, and a white dove with a white glow slowly flew in front of him, acting as a light source and illuminating a tiny corner of the darkness and silence.
Through the hazy light, Sean discovered that the bionic wall was inlaid with many membrane windows - they were the "sleeping coffins" in Moonlight's mouth. For every sleeping coffin, there is a person who falls into a long dream in it.
I had been lying in such a chamber before, and before the update, Yueguang and the others were also...
Looking around, I can't see the end of the eternal sleep corridor. I don't know how many creatures are sleeping here. Suddenly, he heard a strange crawling sound coming from the wall next to him, and there was a lot of movement. He quickly looked up and saw a mass of something crawling along the wall in the darkness. Its size and movement were both mind-numbing.
Sean lit up the ectoplasm and saw a ball of asphalt-like things rolling along the wall...
"That is……?"
"Shoggoths." Ivan turned around and said, "It exists here as the builder and maintainer of R'lyeh. The Shoggoths here are all slaves of Cru...the Lord of Dreams."
My guys... Sean watched the asphalt-like thing roll away along the wall... The guys were already used to the strange scene here.
Walking along a gentle uphill slope, the group found a side door behind a giant pillar. It seems to lead to the outside.
"Xiao, everything here is very different from the ordinary world. You have to be prepared..." Ivan turned back and said seriously. Moonlight and Olivia stood on either side of him, looking back at him.
Sean followed the three of them outside with a slight doubt. Lucente stopped. He stood in the shadow inside the door, seeming to be afraid of what was beyond the corridor...
After walking out of the door, Sean realized that they were on a steep cliff. Looking back, you can see the exterior of the Corridor of Eternal Sleep, which looks like some kind of long, skinny super beast lying here.
Thunder flashed faintly in the gloomy sky, and the sound that followed was particularly dull. There are many huge buildings with strange shapes that resemble long corridors in the open front. They rise and fall one after another, as if a group of beasts are sleeping in a giant cave.
On top of the huge monument engraved with various weird reliefs, Sean saw an eye-catching mountain peak protruding. The mountain peaks are so high that they seem not far from the thundering clouds.
There were many things circling and flying around the mountain peak, as if there were nests of flying creatures there.
And there were still a few green spots on the mountain peak... Sean held his breath.
That's not a mountain, that's Kluwetan squatting in the middle of this big city.
He swallowed involuntarily.
Turning around, I saw Moonlight’s gaze, which was obviously saying: Yes, it’s Him. In addition, Sean could also see a little helplessness in Moonlight's eyes, mixed with lingering fear.
Ivan pointed to the "mountain" and said: "Fortunately, He was severely injured in that call and is still in the stage of healing and recuperation..."
Sean saw several balloon-like objects floating in the sky next to him. When he looked around, he realized that they were the Big Dream Family flying by in a hurry. These are the things that seem to surround Kluwetan. They seem to be chanting prayers there to assist the dreamer in his recovery.
It turns out that what was going on there was a sleepless ritual...
"It can be seen from here that R'lyeh is an organized city." Ivan motioned to Sean to take a few steps closer to the cliff. He pointed to a section of pipe extending from the Corridor of Everlasting Sleep, and then used his finger to guide Sean to discover more of the same pipe in the city.
"These are..." Sean suddenly understood something, "These are the pipelines that transport energy?"
"That's right." Ivan nodded. He had obviously fully understood this place. "You just asked us what He wants so many dreamers to do. In fact, this question is not accurate - what He wants in the end is not the dreamers, but the dreamers. It’s what people dream about.”
Dream? What is the use of dreams? Sean looked at Evan in confusion.
"In the ordinary world, dreams are an illusory thing. However, it is different in R'lyeh.
“In dreams, when people face various situations, they will have various violent emotions, such as ecstasy, rage, fear, sadness, etc., and these violent emotions generated in dreams are a kind of energy that can be used as energy in Raleye. thing."
"It is the surge of the soul, so this energy is called 'soul surge'."
These are contents that have not been covered in the "Summary of Investigation Reports on Ancient Gods". Everything about this place is recorded in a remote and cursed book in the Queen-level library. Fortunately, Ivan had read that book to avoid the curse.
Pointing to the eternal sleep corridor behind him, Ivan continued: "Creatures sleep in the eternal sleep coffin, and the intense emotions they generate in their dreams will generate soul surge energy. The branch pipes in the eternal sleep coffin gather these soul surges into one place, and then..." pointed to the thick pipe extending from the corridor, "and then uniformly transport it to the center of Raleye... for His use."
There is no doubt that Soul Surge can achieve many magical effects, including the healing of dream masters, and Kluwetan's terrifying magical skills - just like the power of faith in ordinary gods.
Sean blinked: The thing that can be dreamed of is Raleye's coal?
"This is R'lye..." Ivan stared at the big city in front of him, "It can travel through various dimensions, but in an absolute sense, its main body is located in the free domain of the sea of subconsciousness - the 'Big Dream World' .
"To be precise, it is located at the entrance to the Great Dream World."
The Great Dream Realm connects all spiritual beings with dreams. People who understand spirituality will not question whether butterflies can dream. The dreams of butterflies are like a drop of water that merges into the sea of the great dream world.
Being in R'lyeh, Sean was shocked by the weird and majestic scenery in front of him. In addition to those ominous giant buildings that were obviously the work of the Shoggoths, he observed more interesting landscapes in some inconspicuous corners——
On some of the pipes transporting soul surges, there are green flames burning like velvet blankets. If you look closely, it seems to be a thin layer of green vegetation.
There are more of those bouncing, living plants below the pipe, and not only that, there are also coquettish purple flowers blooming on it like blinking eyes. Glittering bee-like things stayed on the purple flowers, seeming to be collecting something. A small animal with many eyes and long legs flashed past like a roll and ran into the shadows...
There are not only the Great Dream Families and Night Watchers, but there also seems to be underlying ecology and residents here...? Sean stared at a corner of the city.
Spotting Sean's sight, Moonlight explained: "Raleye's sewers seem to be an ecology created by the souls leaking from the pipes...
"It's thanks to these ecosystems that we still have food and water in places like this."
Sean thought of the small animal bones used as campfire fuel.
They returned to the campfire, and Sean was still shocked by the sight he had just seen. He had many, many questions, but he had no choice but to ask them one by one.
"...As the object of that guy's hatred, I don't seem to get any special treatment? For example, I was directly made into a jar of eternal dreams or something."
"The soul surge created by the Eternal Dream Can is very weak and uneconomical. No dream slave will be canned as soon as he arrives. This is a routine procedure!" Although Lucent is an ordinary person, he seems to know everything here very well. .
"Meng Slave?" Sean's eyes turned to Lucent, "You seem to know a lot of things - how did you get here?"
Lucente smiled. Perhaps due to long-term pressure, his emotional expression seemed a bit misplaced: "As a explorer, do you know about a new belief that has become popular around the world recently?——
"It guides people to believe in beautiful dreams and the modern life of dream-making. In order to avoid the pursuit of the gods, it always holds secret gatherings..."
Sean recalled witnessing a correctional officer raiding a gathering of Dreamers on the streets of New Testament. Those people's eyes were stained with green. That was shortly after Kluwetan emerged from the Vinland Trench and was repaired by the Children of the Big Dream.
In the firelight, Lucent lowered his voice and still had that unsympathetic smile on his face: "I was once one of the believers."
