Chapter 536: Nine Stages of Advancing to the Dream Realm
Another trial tower entered the small world under Alka's control.
This time, Naphtos, the controller of the Trial Tower, watched the whole process.
Looking at the Trial Tower located next to No. 6.
Although these trial towers were no longer numbered, Alka still numbered them one by one according to the order in which he collected them.
The one that Alka controls now is number 7.
Naphtos looked at the Trial Tower.
“To be honest, it’s a lot uglier now than when we first built it.”
Hearing this, Alka turned and looked at him.
“What did it look like?”
Hearing this, Naphtos thought for a moment and waved his hand, and the scene in the memory training ground changed.
Then 12 tall towers appeared on the field. Each tower was quite far apart, but it could be seen that the 12 towers formed a circle together.
It was only then that Alka realized that the group of buildings outside the tower were actually arranged in a circle.
This circle of buildings surrounds the 12 towers in the center.
Then 12 towers surrounded an open space in the center.
Alka looked at the 12 towers. Each tower had a different appearance, with exquisite reliefs and paintings of different styles.
It seems to symbolize something.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? Now it's all black, with only the solid shell inside. The beautiful decorations on the outside have been shaved clean. What barbarians."
Naphtos muttered unhappily beside him.
Obviously, he has deep feelings for these 12 Trial Towers. It is said that he was the one who presided over the construction of the 12 Trial Towers, so he spent a lot of thought and even integrated himself into them.
Alka looked at the newly built tower and asked, "Will this newly added tower bring some new functions?"
Hearing this, Naphtos shook his head and said, "No, there is no new function. But maybe we can add one more person to the memory training ground."
"Really? One more is good too."
After sailing for a period of time, Alka and his team successfully took possession of the seventh tower.
The ones in the 7th week were originally expected to require some means to obtain.
But it was mentioned before that the Four Gods issued the order.
Therefore, the church used coercive means to take back Trial Tower No. 7, and the original controlling forces that were unwilling to return it had to give it up honestly.
Obviously, they had no choice but to surrender if the church took a hard approach.
So the reception of Alka went smoothly.
Except for some people who originally controlled the tower and were very unhappy with him.
At this time they were already on their way to the 8th tower.
According to the latest news, there are no unexpected situations on the island where the 8th tower is located, so it should be very easy for them to get it.
Xiadaiti, who had just finished training, stood beside Alcala and said with a smile: “I hope the collection in the future will be as smooth as these two times.
After all, it takes us too much time just to travel.”
Alka smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, with the oracles of the Four Gods, these local churches will definitely pay more attention to these trial towers and spend more energy on them."
Xia Daiti nodded, she felt the same way.
When Alka left the small world and came to the Voice of Dawn, the Voice of Dawn had already sailed away from the island where the Tower of Trial was and headed for the next destination.
Alka was on the deck, looking at the information in his hands.
They began to calculate how long it would take them to reach their destination this time.
Looking at the information in his hand, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this time it wouldn't take much time to travel.
The distance between these two trial towers is quite close, and it seems that it will take less than half a year, maybe about three or four months.
…
It has probably been more than a year since they started training on the battlefield.
If we have to say how much their strength has improved in the past year or so, the speed of improvement is actually quite normal.
But their actual combat effectiveness is much higher than before.
More importantly, it improves their ability to deal with multi-faceted situations.
After all, many treasures have strange characteristics and effects, and Alcatel has not actually experienced too many battles between treasure controllers.
On the battlefield, they experienced a lot, and all kinds of rules and abilities caused them all kinds of troubles and deaths. These made them remember them in their hearts.
This allows them to react faster when they encounter similar situations in reality, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.
This is where their strength is greatly improved.
After about three or four months of sailing.
They are gradually approaching their goal this time.
Due to the location of the Trial Tower, they should reach the Trial Tower first this time, and then reach the landmark island around the Trial Tower half a month later.
This trial tower is nearly half a month's journey away from the Signpost Island, and can be considered an island outside the island chain.
However, due to the nature of this Trial Island as a signpost island, it was controlled by the surrounding Holy Mother Church long ago.
You can even see a small church and some immigrants to the island.
Obviously, the size of this Trial Island should not be small, otherwise the church would not be willing to build a church here.
There should be enough population here.
"According to the distance, it will take two or three days." Xia Daiti said.
"Two or three days?"
Alka repeated, nodding.
However, he did not return to the small world to train, but sank directly into the dream.
He fell directly onto his throne.
"There are still two or three days left... Alas, there is no escape."
Alka, sitting on the throne, was a little distressed.
The reason, of course, is that his strength in the dream is about to reach the ninth level.
He has been in the eighth stage of perfection for a long time, and he had been here in his dream a year ago.
After a year of accumulation, he could no longer maintain his strength and could break through to the ninth stage at any time.
His premonitions had been particularly strong in the past few days, and he was basically certain that it would happen in these few days. However, it just so happened that he had arrived at the Trial Island in these few days.
"I originally wanted to collect the Trial Tower first and then upgrade it, but now it seems I can't wait."
Since I can't wait.
Alka was not going to wait any longer.
Upgrade from stage eight to stage nine.
This is a relatively important improvement.
Because this dream seems to be different from reality.
In reality, starting from the eighth stage, as long as you have all the treasures, you can begin the ceremony of ascension to deity.
The improvement in strength seemed to have a different purpose.
This was not something he knew, but rather information that Shadow Robe and he had obtained from other Dream Kings.
Therefore, Shadow Robe himself doesn't really know what the difference will be after the upgrade, because Shadow Robe himself is only at the seventh stage.
He is not the Dream King, so he doesn't know much about this information.
Just let Alcardo do some preparation.
Alka sighed at the thought.
After checking my own strength once again, I realized that I was really stuck on that layer of window paper and was about to break through and enter a new stage at any time.
At this point he could only shake his head helplessly and leave the dream, looking at Xia Daiti who had not left yet and said.
"Tell everyone that you will stay on the island for a while after arriving at the Trial Island. The ceremony for advancement that I need to perform in my dream might take a little while."
Xia Daiti nodded and said, "Do you want me to call everyone over? Are you in such a hurry?"
"No, but I am indeed a little anxious. I was thinking of bringing the tower in first."
As he said this, Alka took his real body from the real world and fell into the dream world.
He didn't know what changes would happen this time or how much time it would take, so it would be better to bring his body in.
And in the dream.
When Shadow Robe learned that Alka was about to be promoted, he began to make preparations.
All the powerful dream creatures gathered around Alka's throne.
They were like the strictest guards, surrounding Alka tightly to prevent any presence from disturbing Alka's promotion ceremony.
A vacuum zone appeared around the throne.
Even the white mist that was being produced could not enter this area.
Seeing this situation, Alka looked at Shadow Robe next to the throne, and Huan on the other side.
"I'll leave this place to you for now."
After watching the two of them nod, Alka looked at Xuan on the armrest again.
"You will be the one to tell them what happened in my dream so that they won't get too nervous."
Xuan nodded.
Then he saw Alka close his eyes and lean on the throne, and the throne began to emit a strong light.
This light was like a torch, illuminating almost the entire dream world. All the powerful beings in the dream cast their eyes over.
The giant white mist snake that spread over a large distance opened its sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of Alka.
"After tens of thousands of years, there finally is a true king in the dream world."
Not only the dream kings of misty life, but also the dream kings of various light and shadow life and even black shadow life, were all silently watching in Alka's direction.
They all seemed to be waiting for something.
There are also many wills and even fragments of ancient gods hidden in dreams.
Such as nightmares hidden in the nightmare realm.
Even as timid as he was, he couldn't help but stick his head out of the outer wall of his nightmare realm.
Looking in Alka's direction.
"It feels so familiar? Who is getting promoted, and why did they choose this time period?
This is the first time in tens of thousands of years.”
His crazy mood seemed to clear up.
"So familiar, who is it? Is it someone I know?"
It seems that it is not completely clear yet.
However, although it attracted attention in the dream world, even the powerful beings in the dream could sense it.
But there is no change in the real world, after all, the barriers between each other are very thick.
…
A few days later, the Sound of Dawn docked on the Trial Island.
Everyone on the ship stood on the deck, looking at the Trial Tower in the distance.
"Hasn't Alka completed his promotion yet?"
Xuan, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came out of the dream for once.
"No, it's still early, according to Shadow Robe. There's something to wait for."
Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but ponder.
"Does it take so long to advance from the eighth stage to the ninth stage in the dream?
Is this also the case in reality?"
He couldn't help making the comparison.
Lucilia shook her head: "The strength in reality is different from that in dreams.
Although Alka often uses the stages of strength in dreams to explain, you must know that this is just a general summary.
In fact, there is a clear difference in strength between them.
The forces at work are somewhat different. I actually suspect that... the advancement from the eighth stage to the ninth stage in the dream may be a concept similar to the ascension ceremony in the real world."
Hearing Lucilia's words, everyone turned to look at her, hoping that she would bring some answers.
Because they haven't thought about this idea yet.
Looking at the eyes of the crowd, Lucilia said: "There is a special bookshelf in the library. The books and various recording media on it are all records of dreams. After all, it is the other side of the world, isn't it?
All kinds of intelligent life forms and spiritual entities have been imprinted and embodied there.
So there are a lot of research records, and although there is no clear explanation, based on my opinion and my insights from my dreams, it is very likely to be true. "
As for asking Lucelia to really explain some reasons, she doesn't think everyone can understand, after all, everyone specializes in different areas.
However, since they had this understanding, everyone nodded, and they could probably understand why Alka needed to stay in the dream for a long time.
“Forget it, let’s split into two groups and go to the island to find out more.
Since Alka needs some time, we can just wait here."
Anyway, this is an island, and there seems to be a nice town here, so it might be nice to stay on land for a while longer.
Except here, in a world far, far away.
"Damn it! Devouring Mouth, tell me why our power has been weakened again? Didn't you say that as long as the door is opened wide enough, nothing can affect us?"
A strong and tall giant demon, about 10 meters tall, stared at the devouring mouth under his feet and roared angrily.
Although Fury was very small compared to his size, he still said calmly: "Since we are invading and destroying this world, the enemy will naturally try every means to stop and restrict us.
Isn't that the way it should be? What kind of world do you think this is, huh?
Are they those weak worlds that would be shattered into pieces and become part of the abyss at the slightest charge from the devil?
Or have you become so used to bullying the weak that you are afraid of fighting the strong?"
"You farted! You fucking loser."
The quarrel between the two did not affect the conversation among other demons around them.
Those here are the demon .
When they learned about this world and its past history from the Devouring Mouth, they were ready to fight a long battle in this world and to devour it at all costs.
So this little bit of situation was completely within their expectations.
Especially since they had sensed the brief conflict between the gods outside the world barrier a few years ago.
One is to feel the enemy's strength, and the other is to feel their efforts, which will be rewarded sufficiently once they succeed.
It was enough for so many demons to share equally. As for whether they would really share it equally or fight each other in the end, that was a matter for later.
"Have you checked to see what the problem is?"
For some reason, the World Scar's suppression of the abyss aura has suddenly become stronger recently.
As a result, the strength of all the demons retreated a level, and at this critical moment, those damned humans just held the line, making almost all their efforts in the past year or two go down the drain in an instant.
This made their general attack suddenly lose the expected advantage.
This is also the reason why the demon was so angry, because this time he was the first to charge, and the losses would be the greatest as he was at the front.
Of course he was furious.
"I guess it might be because of the dream."
Said a being whose body was like mist but covered in a cloak that looked like flesh and blood.
"Really? You felt it?"
"Well, a powerful being is being born in the corresponding dream world."
"Can we find a way to get him..."
“Don’t think about affecting the corresponding dream before this world is dragged into the abyss.
That will only make our efforts go to waste. Although I don't like the Devouring Mouth, it is necessary to be calm and wait in order to reap sufficient benefits."
"Okay, you're an expert in this area, of course I'll listen to you."
The demon next to him couldn't help but ask, "Does this mean that such suppression is inevitable?"
"Of course, isn't this something we expected? If it were so easy, why would we let you join? Let you share in our achievements over the past thousand years?"
This person is the leader of the previous world scar.
Hearing this.
Some of the demons around smiled, while others sneered with disdain.
The situation almost got out of control again.
But this is the daily life of demons. It would be ridiculous if demons could always coexist peacefully with each other.
If demons could coexist peacefully and unite, the world would have been under their control long ago. This also violates the chaotic nature of demons themselves, which is the most essential existence.
Without it, the demons would no longer be demons, and they would lose the most feared label of chaos.
If it weren't for the existence of the abyss, these demons would have started fighting each other long ago.
