Upon opening the door, Angel found the scene inside somewhat unexpected.
The room was filled with a soft blue glow.
Angel had thought that the foundation of the laws would manifest physically, perhaps as water spheres, statues, or mysterious runes… but there was none. The room was empty, with only the endless blue glow present.
The rich water laws behind the glow made Angel feel as if he was once again in the ocean.
These water laws kept drawing Angel in, making him want to reach out further.
So, he took a step forward.
However, before his foot could cross the threshold, he was repelled by a powerful force. It was as if an invisible barrier existed in front of him, preventing Angel from stepping any further regardless of the effort he exerted.
While Angel was pondering, Rhine chuckled lightly and walked towards the door.
Unlike Angel, Rhine encountered no obstruction and casually walked in. He paused for a moment, then turned to face a puzzled Angel.
“Lord Rhine, what is happening here?” Angel asked, puzzled as to why he couldn’t enter, yet Rhine could.
“You cannot enter because of the power of the laws inside. Even the faintest line is not something one can easily interact with,” Rhine explained. “As for me, I can enter because I have already grasped the water laws, so I am not bound by the water laws here.”
In short, only those who have understood the corresponding laws can enter. This means, if the law here were gravity instead of water, Angel could easily enter as he had already grasped the gravity lines.
At this moment, Angel also understood the entry requirement. However, what concerned him was, since entering required understanding the water law or water lines, did this mean… that the laws inside were real?
Because Rhine could enter and he couldn’t. And Rhine’s understanding of the water laws was a real-world law, not a virtual one. This suggested that the law inside the room was very likely a real water law.
Angel voiced his doubts.
“Before entering here, I could not answer your question, but now…” Rhine turned to look at the center of the room, where the light was brightest: “I understand somewhat.”
“The laws here, as you guessed, are real. For instance, this.” Rhine waved his hand gently, and a Water Arrow spell appeared in his palm. Initially just a faint blue glow, it soon underwent a bizarre transformation, quickly becoming lifelike.
During the transformation of the Water Arrow, Angel could clearly feel its power level rapidly rising, from a zero level trick, to first level… third level, until it reached the level of a spell!
Angel was completely stunned.
Considering Sanders’ current understanding of energy and his power in the Wilderness of Dreams, the highest magic zone could at best barely cast a third level trick. But now, a living, breathing spell was forming right in front of Angel.
Moreover, as the holder of the Power Tree, Angel could distinctly feel that this spell was different from those generated using virtual magic power.
It was incredibly real!
“This is a real spell? Lord Rhine, can you use real-world magic power now?” Angel asked in disbelief.
Rhine maneuvered the Water Arrow around him for a moment, then gently pinched it, causing it to vanish.
“This Water Arrow spell, you should have felt its uniqueness; it indeed qualifies as a true spell. However, I still can’t utilize real magical power,” said Rhine. “But, it’s not a creation of virtual magic either. It’s a Water Arrow spell formed through direct communication with the water laws via the water lines. To be precise, it’s not me who casts it, but the water laws themselves.”
Angel, though he didn’t grasp the principle, understood the general idea.
This nearly real spell is essentially an application spell derived from a profound understanding of the water laws. Rhine, having spent years immersed in the Tidal Wave Garden, even if not elemental, perhaps has a deeper comprehension of water laws than many water wizards.
“Because the laws here are most abundant, I can only use this level of ability here,” paused Rhine. “Now, back to your original question.”
“With the Water Arrow spell, I’ve shown you that the water laws here are real. But——this place’s laws also bear traces of the Wilderness of Dreams.”
“Why say so?” asked Angel.
“Because I feel it in the foundation of the laws,” Rhine’s gaze shifted to the room’s center. “That, somewhat similar to the water laws but distinctly different, carrying the traces of the Wilderness of Dreams… or what you call power, is right there.”
Power? Angel looked towards the center of the room but didn’t sense the presence of power.
However, since Rhine said so, Angel believed he wouldn’t deceive him.
Thinking this, Angel decided to perceive it through the godly perspective.
After Angel obtained the Power Tree, his godly perspective evolved from being confined to areas covered by the Nightmare Plane’s aura to a true godly vision, capable of sand-table positioning of the entire Wilderness of Dreams.
The Tidal Wave Garden, although a Wizard Garden, became part of the Wilderness of Dreams upon entry. Naturally, it could be observed in multi-dimensions through the godly perspective.
In the godly perspective, Angel clearly felt the familiar power fluctuation at the center of the wizard tower’s top room.
It was the water sub-power of the Celestial Cycle.
The reason Angel couldn’t feel the Celestial Cycle power was that it only lingered in the center and didn’t radiate outward. The exterior, covered by dense real laws, thus obscured Angel temporarily.
But now, through a higher perspective, Angel clearly saw the water sub-power of the Celestial Cycle and the real water laws converge, intertwined like lovers in the throes of passion, exchanging and merging with each other.
This state was quite delicate.
They seemed unified yet distinctly different. The real laws and the power of the Wilderness of Dreams intertwined like two sides of the same coin, weaving together in a bizarre overlap.
Through the godly perspective, Angel could only see this much and didn’t understand what this situation signified.
However, knowing it’s the Celestial Cycle power, Angel could, through the Power Tree, sense a deeper situation.
With this in mind, Angel immersed his thoughts into the Power Tree, specifically the Celestial Cycle power.
In an instant, a flood of information, like a torrent, threatened to pour into Angel’s mind.
Angel outright refused to accept the information.
The Celestial Cycle power, although not as central as the Power Tree, contained immense inner complexity, including a part of the elemental laws. Back when assuming this power, not just Freud but even Sanders, likely couldn’t bear the Celestial Cycle.
Such a heavyweight power’s information flood was not something Angel dared to receive carelessly.
Angel entered the core of the Celestial Cycle power, solely to seek some anomalies in the water sub-power, thereby understanding the current specific situation.
Angel, though he hadn’t integrated the Celestial Cycle, had absolute control over the Power Tree, which allowed him to navigate freely through the core information of the Celestial Cycle without any restrictions.
Angel thought it would take a long time to find the anomaly within the vast amount of internal information. However, as soon as he entered the water-related sub-power, he sensed the abnormal information. It seemed as if the Will of the Wilderness of Dreams deliberately presented this anomaly to him.
The method of receiving this abnormal information was still direct transmission into the mind.
As the flood of information entered, enlightenment slowly dawned in Angel’s eyes, and they shone brighter and brighter.
After a while, Angel opened his eyes.
“Did you just perceive the power within the room? How was it? Did you perceive anything?” Rhine asked with a smile, after Angel closed his eyes and he had been waiting silently until now.
Angel nodded and responded to Rhine with his actions.
His eyes bright, Angel stepped into the room.
The water laws that had previously barred his entry now seemed to disappear, posing no more hindrance to Angel. He walked in smoothly and approached Rhine’s side.
Rhine did not inquire how Angel achieved this, as he clearly sensed the changes in the water lines surrounding them: the originally dormant power of the Wilderness of Dreams, at the center, suddenly started moving, directly cutting off the surrounding water laws and clearing a path for Angel to enter.
“Since you can now mobilize the power entwined with the water laws, can you control these laws?” Rhine asked curiously.
Angel shook his head: “No, the water laws are real laws. To control them, one must practice step by step according to reality.”
Rhine nodded, understanding that if Angel could directly control the water laws, it would be truly astonishing.
“Even so, it’s remarkable. The intertwining of power and laws at least shows they are similar in level and perhaps two sides of the same coin,” Rhine mused. “It’s just unknown what impact this situation will have on the Wilderness of Dreams.”
“The Wilderness of Dreams is vast, with abundant powers. So, the current situation won’t have much overall impact,” Angel explained. “However, its significance is extraordinary.”
“Oh? Why is that?” Rhine didn’t ask how Angel knew this, as he was, after all, the creator of the Wilderness of Dreams and having information channels wasn’t surprising. If Rhine probed everything, it would be overstepping.
“Based on some information I’ve gathered, I can confirm that your initial speculation was correct, Lord Rhine. The entry of real laws into the Wilderness of Dreams is more beneficial than harmful.”
“The powers of the Wilderness of Dreams, frankly, are also a kind of law, just not a Perfect one,” Angel continued. “The imperfection is straightforward; the Wilderness of Dreams currently exists as a special independent domain under the Dream Realm. It seems complete but is not a world in and of itself; it’s more like a world embryo or budding plane.”
“Only when the Wilderness of Dreams becomes a true world can its powers be rightfully called laws.”
As Angel said this, he shrugged: “However, how the Wilderness of Dreams becomes a world and whether its powers can transform into laws in the future are not issues I currently have the power to consider.”
Rhine also nodded. Creating a world… something unheard of, and perhaps only those wizards shining with miraculous brilliance were qualified to delve into it.
“Although it’s not necessary to consider the transformation of power into real laws now, we can improve the powers themselves within a certain range. As for the method of improvement…”
Hearing this, the answer was apparent, and Rhine softly said, “Introduce real laws.”
Angel nodded: “Yes, real laws can improve the powers to some extent. However, this is just an improvement, and the powers will not become real laws in the end. But the improvement of powers is a beneficial cycle.”
“It’s possible to make the Wilderness of Dreams more like a world, to rapidly increase the power level of the Wilderness of Dreams, to enhance the level of the power, and even, by harnessing the power of the laws, to eliminate those Dream Realm creatures who discover and covet the Wilderness of Dreams.”
“One could say that merging with the real laws brings substantial benefits.”
“The only downside is that the power of the laws can eliminate those Dream Realm creatures who covet the Wilderness of Dreams, but it also has the ability to kill the original inhabitants of the Wilderness of Dreams.”
The so-called downside, though it sounds somewhat strange, is actually not.
The original inhabitants of the Wilderness of Dreams have a very unique body structure; they hardly ever get sick and are difficult to kill. As long as the power of the Wilderness of Dreams isn’t deliberately targeting the original inhabitants, they remain unaffected by the power.
Take the current situation as an example.
Like the Celestial Cycle power, if it causes Initial Heart City to have continuous rain for half a month, the original inhabitants, even if they are constantly in the rain, will not experience any discomfort.
However, when the real water laws merge into the Celestial Cycle power, if the original inhabitants are in the rain, they might get sick.
This is very similar to the real world. In reality, ordinary people can become seriously ill from the rain, and if their constitution is weaker or treatment is delayed, death is a possibility.
This is the downside of merging laws into the Wilderness of Dreams: it makes the strong bodies of the inhabitants of the Dream Realm susceptible to external influences.
But compared to the benefits it brings, this downside is simply insignificant.
At least in Angel’s view, this downside can be completely ignored for now.
After listening, Rhine also feels that the downside is not really a concern: “So, now we can introduce a large number of real laws and improve the power as much as possible?”
Angel shakes his head: “No, introducing real laws needs to adhere to the basic laws of the Wilderness of Dreams.”
“The most important is Power Level Restriction. Currently, the overall power level of the Wilderness of Dreams is not high, and the power currently in operation is relatively limited. Under these circumstances, the real laws that are introduced must be below the overall level.”
“The only way for the Wilderness of Dreams to merge with real laws is through the Dream Conch pulling the Wizard Garden. According to the level of the Wizard Garden, currently, the Wilderness of Dreams can only withstand micro and small Wizard Gardens.”
