Chapter 2100 Incredibility <TOC> Chapter 2102 Close Contact
Translator: SumTLMan
As everyone listened silently to the conversation between Tree Spirit and Liana, Rhine suddenly turned to look towards the distant city walls.
Wallace was also curious about the city in the distance and followed Rhine’s gaze. To his surprise, he exclaimed, “It seems like something is flying over here?”
His words made everyone stop talking.
In the sky above the distant city, a steam airship emerged, gliding past the city walls and slowly heading towards the outskirts.
The airship appeared to be on a fixed route; even as it passed overhead, it only cast a shadow and did not stop, continuing to roar as it flew into the distance.
However, though the airship did not halt, two figures jumped from it.
Falling from the sky at great speed, as they were about to hit the ground, a whirlwind emerged out of nowhere, lifting the two. As the wind weakened and eventually disappeared, the two landed smoothly in front of the group.
The two who descended from the heavens were none other than Angel and Sanders.
For those present, the arrival of these two was both unexpected and logical. Since Angel mentioned delivering a message to them, there must be some method of delivery. They had thought the monocle was a communication device for Angel to send them a message; but now, they realized they were entirely wrong. Angel was not just sending a message; he was actually standing in front of them.
“You finally arrived,” Wallace spoke first. He had many questions, but now faced with the opportunity to ask, he didn’t know where to begin.
Angel bowed to the group, “I apologize for the slight delay.”
Liana responded, “No need for apologies. I’m more interested in whether what you have for us is a surprise or a shock.”
Given the Iron Armor Granny’s words earlier, everyone calmed down. No one immediately asked questions, focusing their attention on Angel.
Angel winked at Liana, “Whether it’s a surprise or a shock for others, I can’t say, but for you, I think it’s more of a surprise than a shock.”
He then turned to Tree Spirit, “The same goes for Tree Spirit.”
Considering the previous conversation between Tree Spirit and Liana, it was clear what Angel implied.
Joy flashed in Tree Spirit’s eyes, “Is this the variable you mentioned earlier?”
Angel did not hide it, “Yes, it is.”
Previously, Tree Spirit was uncertain, but now with Angel’s confirmation, his mood brightened instantly. However, he didn’t get carried away and wanted to be sure Angel’s intentions aligned with his thoughts.
“Are you planning to hold a tea party here?”
“Yes, I do have such plans. But I’ll explain the details later,” Angel replied.
“I know everyone has many questions. Shall we head to the city first and talk along the way?”
Nobody objected, and the group, led by Angel, headed towards Initial Heart City in a grand procession.
On the way, as Angel explained, they gradually understood more about the place. However, the more they learned, the more questions they had.
“Is this really the Dream Realm? Why does it feel so real?”
“Not fully in the Dream Realm, but rather in an intermediary zone between the Dream Realm and reality. As for realism… it’s because your initial impression was to regard this place as the Wilderness of Dreams, so you feel it’s real; if you viewed it as reality, you’d definitely find its reality is relatively speaking.”
“Does this mean everything here is false?”
“That depends on your perspective. For those living here, everything is real; for us, it’s a matter of perspective. Truth and falsehood are matters of the heart.”
“The people of Initial Heart City appear to be mortals, where do they come from?”
“The people here, in reality, are mostly already deceased. What remains here is just consciousness. By the way, have you heard of eternal consciousness? Although there’s no soul, consciousness carrying complete memories is also a form of rebirth.”
…Similar conversations continued after Liana entered Initial Heart City. Angel’s responses, though exhaustive, only made Liana more confused, even doubting her own understanding.
Liana couldn’t imagine how consciousness lives here, how it becomes a resident of the Dream Realm?
She also couldn’t comprehend what Angel meant by truth and falsehood.
She felt as if she understood, but there was a veil she couldn’t lift to see the truth behind.
However, not everyone was as perplexed as Liana; others sensed something.
“The laws, the laws here are similar to reality but feel slightly off,” Wallace looked at Angel: “In any world, the emergence of laws has a certain convergence, but they’re never the same. The laws of this world are too similar to reality, even the magic power is the same. Is it because the world will is imitating reality? But the World Will is thoughtless, so there’s only one possibility, the ruler of this world, intentionally made its laws closer to reality?”
Wallace: “Are you the one who set the laws of this world?”
Angel, somewhat surprised by Wallace’s insight, corrected his previous misconception of Wallace influenced by Sanders. Wallace, as the head of the Savage Grottoes Institute, showed great talent in detail observation and analytical research.
Wallace directly pointed out the core of the Wilderness of Dreams: Power.
Angel originally planned to talk about power later, but since Wallace brought it up, he went along:
“The law maker, I can’t say it’s completely me, I only control a small part. But I am indeed the creator of the Wilderness of Dreams.”
Angel’s words, like a thunderclap, astonished everyone.
The creator of the world…?!
Even though this world has some imperfections, the ability to create a world was beyond everyone’s imagination. Even the typically calm Iron Armor Granny looked at Angel with a surprised and skeptical gaze.
Angel: “I think you might be mistaken, this isn’t a world, but a half-plane.”
Angel briefly explained the birth of the Wilderness of Dreams. He temporarily omitted the details about the Dream Conch, the Nightmare Domain’s main core, and Shava, only mentioning that it was a bit of Freud’s creativity, a stroke of his luck, and the benefits of being a Nightmare Soul.
Even with Angel’s explanation, everyone still felt bewildered.
Even if it’s just a half-plane, as long as it’s within the Southern Region Wizarding World, it can be accessed through a Login Device, a realization that they all understood!
