Chapter 509 The Divine Legacy of the Dream-Eating Cult! The Cancerous Dragon of the Dream Realm! A Battle Against God
An anomaly has occurred in the dream world!
Lu Yu remembered that a long time ago, when they were still in Dayuan City, Xiao Yu told him that the residents of Dayuan City had problems with their dreams and were having frequent nightmares.
However, because the dream world and reality are too far apart, and the dream world is inherently chaotic and disorderly, there are examples such as the Nightmare God's milk turning into a sea of nightmares. It would be strange if there were no problems.
And since there were no deaths, they didn't take it to heart.
Perhaps some powerful nightmare is causing trouble.
But now it seems that the entire dreamscape of the border region has been affected by the ecological radiation of this ancient dragon's dead egg.
After all, the mere existence of higher-dimensional life forms would radiate to the surrounding environment and even the entire world, causing corresponding mutations.
"So you've been tinkering with this all this time?"
Speaking of this, Lu Yu suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu had also been appearing and disappearing mysteriously during this period. Although the Nightmare Prison would grow with him, it was inseparable from her silent dedication that enabled it to have the power to directly defeat the ancient clan prodigies.
"Hmph, Father finally noticed! This is a surprise that Xiaoyu prepared for you." Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips, her lips almost curling up to the sky. Her cute and innocent appearance showed no trace of the arrogance she had displayed when she just defeated the Void Illusion Shark.
She's more like a little girl who's being affectionate with her father.
However, as a derivative of Lu Yu's dream and an appendage belonging to the forbidden realm, Xiao Yu's essence is much higher than that of ordinary angels. Her status is comparable to that of the gods, only slightly inferior to Lu Ming, the son of truth among many pet beasts, except that she does not have the corresponding authority.
Shi Weijun also noticed this strange dream creature and could sense the terrifying nature hidden within it. The big lightbulb head remained silent.
Mainly...
There are just too many "miracles" surrounding Lu Yu.
It was as if the world and the Mother River adored... no, spoiled him!
Compared to him, even the so-called chosen ones are utterly weak.
"A surprise?" Lu Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, after all, the dream world was distorted some time ago, which increased the chaos. A large number of nightmares and dream creatures fled and were captured by the Nightmare Prison, turning into the outer wall and greatly increasing the strength of the Nightmare Prison."
However, after a while, I also found it strange. After careful study, I found that these dream creatures all had dragon-like characteristics. I thought that a legendary dragon with dream attributes had been born. If left unattended, it could easily become an unstable factor, so it would be better to capture it and use it as a mount.
"So after searching for a while, we've located its coordinates in the dream world." Xiaoyu told Lu Yu some good news via telepathy.
In other words...
Even if Shi Weijun and the others didn't say anything, Lu Yu would have discovered this place.
Whether it's their pets or their daughter...
They're all so incredibly powerful!
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu asked directly, "Was it the last mission my parents carried out?"
As mentioned long ago, Dayuan City, as the first city on the border, is suppressed by a powerful figure of the ancient era.
That is, the president of the Da Yuan City Alliance.
However, because most of the elite troops were transferred away to carry out a key mission, the Faceless Brotherhood caused trouble, which led to the subsequent Battle of Da Yuan City.
Even now, the other party has not returned.
Furthermore, after Lu Yu became a general, the records regarding the cause of his parents' deaths were detailed, but the specific details of their missions could not be accessed, which was clearly inconsistent with his authority.
It's most likely the same thing.
Aside from the Ancient Dragon's Dead Egg incident, what else could have kept an ancient giant in check for so long and maintained such a high level of secrecy?
"Yes, that's right." Shi Weijun nodded and continued, "When we first dealt with the Ancient Dragon Dead Egg incident, we put them in charge of maintaining order in the perimeter. Duan Luqing... you should be very familiar with him, he is the leader of the Alliance in Dayuan City who was in charge of containing the dead eggs."
But to everyone's surprise, the ancient dragon's dead egg still had consciousness and forcibly revived, radiating out the ancient dragon ecosystem and giving rise to a large number of dragon beast tides that ravaged the area. At that time, the team your parents were in was affected by the radiation of the ancient dragon ecosystem, which caused Zhou Cheng's Mirror Demon to have its vision interfered with. It was attacked by one of the stray, berserk Morning Star-level dragon beasts, resulting in the annihilation of the entire team except for him.
This was also his inner conflict; he felt that he was the one who caused everyone's deaths. But in reality, they were incredibly insignificant in the face of such superior beings, and they only came to terms with it at the very end of their lives.
Fortunately, Duan Luqing was a soul-type beast tamer and suppressed this will in time, preventing the dragon beast calamity from affecting the border city. He could have used the appropriate rituals to decompose it and return it to the world, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the immortal dream left behind by the Dream Eater Cult began to migrate, intertwining with the ancient dragon's dead egg to form a bizarre dream domain—unbreakable and inaccessible, yet drawing closer to reality.
Lu Yu nodded, not surprised by this. After all, the mortality rate for special missions, especially those on the border, was already quite high, but the rewards were also among the highest in the entire alliance's thirty-three major domains.
After his death, he received appropriate compensation, which was not embezzled by anyone.
Choosing a Gold-tier pet cub, especially one selected from the Cult of Evil Gods, is a powerful choice. Its only drawback is that most of them are violent in nature, and their so-called unstable spirituality is only in comparison to other normal pets.
Truly unstable pets were eliminated in the first round.
Such a pet beast would be impossible to buy in other major regions without connections or enormous wealth.
If you don't want to fight, you can convert that into wealth and live a comfortable life as a small-time millionaire.
Therefore, he didn't have much of an opinion on the league's policies; he felt that the rewards for hard work were already quite fair.
If you were in the Dark Star Region, with the Star Family looming overhead and most of your ascent paths blocked, that would be true despair.
That's why so many wild beast tamers come to the border to fight, hoping for a better future.
Lu Yu asked in confusion, "Even the kings couldn't erase it?"
The power of the laws of the kings should, in theory, solve 99.99% of the problems in the mortal world, right?
But the fact that Elephant God could use it as a threat clearly indicates there's more to the story.
"It was possible at first, but everyone underestimated the power of the Lord of Eternal Dreamland. The Dream Eater Cult summoned Him to turn the mortal world into a grand Eternal Dreamland. He actually possessed the strength of a kingdom and took root on the border, connecting with the main world and the dream world. It was like expanding the territory of the main world."
Originally, we planned to let it cool down, and as time passed, the two worlds would eventually separate due to their conflict. However, after merging with the ancient dragon egg that was born carrying the will of the main world, the meaning became different.
Once it takes action, it will first have to face the malice of the main world's will. But if it sits by and watches the other party be born, then the entire border ley lines, even the vitality and human dreams, will be devoured by it. Not to mention what chaos would ensue after losing dreams and sleep.
If a special dream... no, it should be said that a dream come true, a perfect ancient dragon created from nothingness, is conceived, it will instantly become a complete form, guaranteed to be at least a high-level True King, or even a demigod-level individual.
When it does, the earthly kingdom it establishes will inevitably clash with the human race's territory, requiring the seizure of land and resources—in modern terms, the means of production—creating an irreconcilable conflict.
Furthermore, the possibility that the Pope of the Dream Eater Cult may still remain, and it's quite possible that another Eternal Dream could occur.
Principal Shi's way of speaking is still so fashionable, not at all like an ancient relic who has lived for thousands of years.
Lu Yu inwardly scoffed, then asked, "Is there some great being driving this?"
"It's not certain yet, but it's highly likely, otherwise a dead ancient dragon egg couldn't suddenly give birth to a will." Shi Weijun whispered, "The Lord of Eternal Dreamland and the Mother of Twilight are the most suspicious."
Lu Yu nodded; it was pretty much what he had in mind.
One is the god in question.
Another one who has been causing trouble on the border for a long time, can hit anyone with a 90% chance of getting dirty water thrown at them, especially since they are suspected to be the reincarnation of the Supreme Mother Goddess, which also matches the realm of creation.
"The myriad races are also eager to stall for time, to see us in a state of chaos before making their move." Shi Weijun said calmly, already prepared for the worst.
"Sitting idly by and waiting to die is not the style of our human race. There must be other backup plans, right?" Lu Yu stroked his chin and asked curiously.
"Yes, although it is inconvenient to destroy the main world, we can find the coordinates of this dream kingdom through the dream world, and then find a way to infiltrate it through the dream and dismantle it from the inside. It is difficult to kill it completely, but it is enough to delay its birth by a hundred years and get through the chaotic era."
However, this dream realm is not yet capable of accommodating a true king entering the dream. It lies somewhere between an ancient giant and an ecological master. This is also related to the degree of the ancient dragon's resurrection from its dead egg. If it truly reaches the true king level, the dream realm will become a kingdom, protected by laws. Even a true king would not be able to defeat it from within. Shi Weijun looked at Lu Yu with a complicated expression.
Originally, he wanted to focus all his efforts on nurturing Lu Yu, since his pet beast was the perfect creation of the Dream Eater Cult and had inherited that unparalleled legacy, making him a perfect mission target.
If we can help the other party advance to the level of a giant within ten years and enter the palace with the other prodigies, there is a high probability that we can kill the will within the ancient dragon's dead egg.
However, what was unexpected was that while the Ancient Dragon's revival speed was beyond imagination, Lu Yu became even more monstrous. He could now crush even the most powerful creatures!
The mission, which was originally at the Nightmare level, is now only at the Hard level. The only thing to worry about is the influence of the Lord of Eternal Dreamland.
Lu Yu nodded, indicating he had no objections.
After all, the alliance provides corresponding rewards along with the mission.
"However, you can wait a bit. The dream world is too vast and chaotic. The coordinates of reality and dreams are completely different. We have already sent tens of thousands of dream-type beast tamers to search for it. We should be able to find the location within a year, and it won't erupt for the time being..." Shi Weijun reassured Lu Yu, afraid that he would be anxious.
But before he could finish speaking, Lu Yu interrupted him: "No need, I've already found it."
"???"
Not only Shi Weijun, but even the King of Order and the other kings who seemed to have left but were actually secretly watching were stunned.
They could tell that Lu Yu had just learned of this news and was unaware of the Ancient Dragon's Dead Egg incident before.
The mechanical angel really wanted to ask, "Are you kidding me?", but considering the other person's identity, she swallowed her words.
They can even freely enter and exit the long river of history; perhaps they even briefly took a dump.
Shi Weijun's mind raced, and he quickly realized something. Before he could speak, he heard Lu Yu continue:
"Because I only inherited half of the Dream Eater Cult's legacy, and its location is shown inside, I've always wondered what the other half was. After hearing what you said, it dawned on me—it's God..."
"Order of Laws—Silence!"
Before he could finish speaking, the law of order silenced him, and then he led Lu Yu away back to the border.
Although Lu Yu's voice wasn't loud, there wasn't an ordinary person present.
The kings were shocked, and even the opposite side of the Great Abyss was filled with fluctuations of energy.
The dream migration was not just an accident or the driving force of a great being, but also related to the legacy of the Dream Eater Cult!
Doesn't this mean that someone can inherit everything inside?
Looking at Lu Yu's rise to power, apart from the blessing of the Heavenly Day bloodline, the biggest help came from the legacy of the Dream Eater Cult, accounting for at least 70%.
This once small cult was not taken seriously by many powerful figures during their lifetime, but unexpectedly, they left behind so much legacy after their deaths.
I thought it was comparable to the treasure vaults of ancient kings, but now it seems it might be approaching the secrets of the gods.
It is suspected to contain treasures left behind by the Lord of Eternal Dreamland.
How could they not be tempted?!
Many geniuses from all races yearn for this legacy. If they could obtain it, would they also have a chance to become the second Lu Yu?
Two days later,
The alliance quietly executed a high-ranking military official for allegedly leaking classified information. The news was brief, the action swift, and it did not cause a stir online.
Even if some netizens noticed, they would only angrily curse the traitor and quickly forget about it, not paying any attention.
After all, with such a large human population, all sorts of monsters and demons can be found.
However, it caused a huge uproar within large family circles and among the various races.
This guy is a key figure in guarding the Ancient Dragon Eggs, responsible for protecting the site of the Ancient Dragon Eggs, and this time he is in charge of handing over the Dream Realm location matters.
It wasn't a defection; rather, from the very beginning, he was cultivated by one of the kingdoms of the myriad races, rising through the ranks of the military and transmitting a great deal of crucial information over the years, causing considerable losses.
This time, he leaked the coordinates of the Ancient Dragon Dream Domain provided by Lu Yu.
Although they had used a rule-based treasure to seal the secret, the myriad races paid a huge price to offset it with other treasures and obtained the information.
This guy also fled to the border immediately, but was still wiped out by Shi Weijun with the light of the heavens, turning into nothingness.
But the news had already spread.
Moreover, in order to disgust Lu Yu, the myriad races distributed this position to many large families, schools of thought, and evil god cults of the human race.
Let everyone vie for the legacy left behind by the Dream Eater Cult.
At the very least, we must prevent Lu Yu from obtaining it, as this would accelerate his growth.
Moreover, even if there is a conspiracy, it can still trick the human race.
Suddenly, undercurrents were stirring.
In the border city, within a pure white tower.
Shi Weijun looked at Lu Yu, who was leisurely sipping his tea, and asked softly:
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Why did Lu Yu have to speak out when he could have resolved the issue discreetly?
Given his personality, he shouldn't make such a basic mistake.
At first, Shi Weijun thought that Lu Yu was giving out fake coordinates to fool the myriad races, but it turned out to be true.
In this way, what was originally Lu Yu's possession will likely face many more complications.
Could it be... that the King of Misfortune has affected my luck and clouded my judgment?
Or is he confident that he can resolve the ancient dragon's will within the dream realm?
"Principal, please have a cup of hot tea first."
Lu Yu slowly sipped the barley tea that Little Spider had brewed. The aroma of the grain exploded on his tongue, and he thought to himself that Little Spider was becoming more and more versatile, taking care of every aspect of life.
Unbelievable...
How much fun would life be without the little spider?
Could it be that she's deliberately trying to ruin herself?
But thinking about it, it's unlikely, after all, how could a little angel do such a thing?
Before Lu Yu floated a light screen, revealing a vast dreamscape comparable in size to a great domain. It was filled with endless death energy and surging dragon might, constantly eroding, distorting, and radiating throughout the dream world, rapidly expanding.
Although it is but a drop in the ocean compared to the boundless dream world.
But it is like a giant cancerous cell, constantly proliferating, twisting, and radiating into dream creatures, expanding its ecological influence.
As the image zooms in, you can see all sorts of dreams approaching from the past, clinging to this massive dream barrier and forming special passages.
Among them were powerful figures from all races, as well as geniuses from major human families, all vying to enter and compete for the Dream Eater Cult's legacy before Lu Yu could.
Some people want to accelerate the growth of the ancient dragons, so that the human race will suffer the calamity of the ancient dragons in advance, and reverse the current decline of all races before the gods descend.
It will most likely trigger a calamity and affect the overall situation of the human race.
The fact that Shi Weijun was able to sit here and drink tea with him shows that he was already quite composed. If it were anyone else, they would have been as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Lu Yu quietly sipped his hot tea, looking at these guys with a calm gaze, and even a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Doesn't he know how much legacy the Dream Eater Cult has?
He knew that the various races didn't entirely believe him; they remained vigilant and, more importantly, wanted to cause trouble.
but……
Greed is the best bait!
Both Gu Long's legacy and the Dream Eater Cult's legacy are open schemes.
It was also the first time he had changed his identity, from a pawn to a player, facing the will of the ancient dragon's dead egg in the dream realm, or rather...
The great entity behind the scenes is engaging in a power struggle!
