Chapter 3644 Collapse of Dream Realm
Have you entered the realm of dreams?
Upon hearing the news, Starworm subconsciously raised his head and looked outside the dome, wanting to see what the most illusory realm in the legend looked like.
But he forgot that the dome had been turned into frosted glass, and apart from vaguely seeing a large amount of colorful mist outside, he could not see anything clearly.
The owl seemed to have guessed what the starworm was thinking. It also raised its head, and its dark eyes looked at the blurry skylight above its head.
"Don't even think about looking at the scenes in the dream world. Any scene presented in the dream world could be fake. Especially the closer you are to the dream world, the higher the degree of illusion."
"For example, the scene outside right now." Owl: "You can't see it, but I can describe it to you. Right now, there are tall buildings outside. The colorful mist you see is actually the various colors of neon on the buildings."
"Such a scene is obviously not real, but a dream."
The owl retracted his gaze at this point, his body still, his head turned 180 degrees, and looked at the starworm: "If this dream originated from the dream of some intelligent creature in the outside world, then it's fine, the danger is not high."
"But if this illusion is a bait deliberately placed here by a life form in the dream world, then it would be very dangerous."
Starworm: "Even the train conductor feels that life in the dream world is dangerous?"
The owl blinked and said, "Of course, I'm not good at fighting. Have you forgotten what I said just now? My rank was given to me because I'm popular. I'm sure I can't fight those dream world creatures."
Although the owl spoke righteously, the starworm did not believe it at all.
The order of positions set by the Star Lord is not fixed.
You will complete tasks corresponding to your rank. The higher your rank, the higher the importance and difficulty of the task.
Once a task goes wrong, the ranking will drop.
The fact that Owl is ranked 005 is enough to show that it is not simple.
Even if he may not be good at combat, he must be extremely outstanding in other aspects, otherwise it would be impossible for him to maintain his top five position.
and……
Starworm doesn't think that the owl's combat power is bad. If you don't have combat power as a backing, you can't succeed in a difficult mission.
Although Starworm didn't say anything, Owl could see that he was full of disbelief.
It's too lazy to correct it.
What it said was all true. Its combat capability was indeed not that great, but its popularity was really good...
"Besides, it's not just me. Even if many Ranks who are good at fighting come here, they may not be able to defeat those dream world creatures." Owl: "Their power is completely different from that of the outside world."
Starworm subconsciously asked: "What's the difference?"
Owl: "Their powers are mostly 'idealistic'. Some creatures in the dream world may be small loaches one second, but when their spiritual light flashes, they may become giants comparable to the continent in the next second."
"There are also some dream creatures that don't seem to be very powerful, but they are also very difficult to kill. They may have mastered some other idealistic abilities. For example, if it thinks you can't catch up with it, then no matter how fast you run, you can't catch up with it."
The dark starry sky under the brim of the Starworm hat flickered for a moment, and a doubtful voice came out: "Even at the speed of the Star Sea Train, it can't catch up?"
Owl: "It's hard to say. Some of the secondary columns may not be able to catch up. But the main column where the Star Lord is will definitely catch up, there is no doubt about that."
Although the owl said that Zhenglie would definitely catch up... but Zhenglie was a true miracle creature, whose glittering light could illuminate the boundless plane. It was incredible that the ability of the dream creatures could restrict Zhenglie.
After a quick comparison, the starworm began to feel a little wary of the creatures in the dream world.
He prayed silently in his heart that no passengers from the dream world would get on board on this new journey. His ordinary carriages could not suppress these idealistic monsters... If he wanted to board the train, he should go to the first 100 trains, at least there were carriages from the hidden world.
Just as Starworm was praying in his heart, the hall suddenly shook.
Then, the light outside the frosted glass changed from colorful mist to pitch black.
At the same time, a bigger shaking came from underground.
It was like a major earthquake.
"What happened?" Starworm looked outside in surprise.
In order to avoid spraining its ankle, the starworm has twinkling stars under its feet and floats in the air.
The owl also flapped its wings and flew up. As it flew, it looked outside quietly, as if it was communicating with something.
After a while, the owl's voice came into his ears: "Don't worry, the track is passing through a dream realm, heading to the gap between the dream world and the other world. As for the vibration, it's because this dream realm is not very stable."
"The gap between the dream world and other realms? Isn't our target the dream world?" Starworm asked doubtfully.
Owl shook his head left and right like a fan. "No, our target is in the gap area."
"So are we... going to pick up the passengers and get on the bus?" When it came to the mission of this journey, Starworm's tone was obviously more cautious.
Some train conductors don't like to state the mission objectives directly, such as the previous demon conductor, who had a very bad personality. Rather than making a direct announcement, he preferred to let people guess his purpose.
If you guess wrong, you might get your heart burned.
There are also some train conductors who like to be riddle tellers and will not reveal the answer until the last moment.
Starworm didn't know what the current owl conductor was like, so he could only carefully explore the other party's boundaries.
Owl shook his head: "I don't know if anyone will get on the bus. I'll make a temporary decision after we get there."
"A temporary decision? An irregular task?"
Owl nodded: "Almost. It depends on the specific situation and the specific response. But don't worry, with me here, there will generally be no fighting."
"If a fight really breaks out, the train will probably be scrapped."
Starworm: “???”
Is it so cruel? As expected of a train conductor in the top five, the task is so difficult that even the deputy train may be scrapped?
So, what is the goal this time?!
Owl shrugged. "I really don't know. I can only go there and see what the situation is. However, the Star Lord asked me to come, which probably means there are old friends of mine here."
"Don't worry, I'm very popular. If I run into an old friend, this mission should be easy to complete."
The owl once again told the starworm to "rest assured", but the more it said this, the more anxious the starworm felt.
In particular, the moment Owl finished speaking, the hall began to shake again, and the frequency of the vibration was even stronger than before.
Even the marble floor had double images due to the vibration.
Although the star worm was not affected, seeing such a shocking shock, it still had a bad feeling about the next journey...
The owl turned its head 720 degrees, as if checking the situation outside.
After a few seconds, the owl said with a serious expression: "The dream realm outside is collapsing..."
"Collapse?"
The owl nodded. "It must be a dreaming creature that is about to wake up."
Starworm said solemnly: "Will that affect the train?"
Owl: "The Star Train can definitely withstand the collapse of the Dream Realm, but... we might derail and fall into the Deep Dream and get lost in it."
Starworm: "If that's the case, why do we have to lay the tracks in the dreams of living beings..."
The track can be revived, and when the dreaming creature wakes up, it will be broken, and the sleeping soul will be revived again. But the track can be revived, but if the train derails and loses its deep dream, it is difficult to re-position the track.
Because there is no "direction" in a deep dream.
The owl spread its wings and said, "You ask me, but I don't know. It was the Star Lord who negotiated the orbit. Even if the orbit is in the Dream Realm of Living Beings, we have no choice but to accept it."
The owl sighed for a few seconds and looked outside again.
Because the Star Lord did not negotiate for the Star Sea Train's authority to jump into the dream world, the Star Sea Train can only run on the track as planned.
At this time, the speed of the Xinghai Train has reached its maximum.
In front of me was a shaking dreamland, and behind me was a collapsed dark abyss...
If you look at it from a distance, it's just like the apocalyptic battle royale, except that this time the ones running away are not living creatures, but a train shining with starlight.
The tracks behind were constantly broken and swallowed into the abyss.
Moreover, the speed at which the dream realm was collapsing was getting faster and faster, and it was about to catch up with the Star Sea Train.
Just as the Star Train was about to fall, the owl in the dome hall sighed softly: "I can only ask it for help..."
"Who?" There was a flash of doubt in Starworm's eyes.
Owl: "Who else could it be? The one I asked to help lay the track... a creature from the Dream World."
Less than a second after the words fell, Starworm discovered an extremely huge hand directly pinching the dome outside the hall.
Even though it was covered by frosted glass, the outline of the giant hand could still be seen through the frosted surface.
When the giant hand grabbed the dome, the owl gently flapped its wings, and an illusory geometric outline circled the entire hall. When the geometric shadow stabilized the hall, the vibration disappeared, as if the train had entered a plain.
Even though the giant hand lifted the train, they did not feel the slightest jolt inside.
At this moment.
From the outside world, a huge creature like a mountain grabbed the Star Train, and its body was surrounded by the abyss and was about to fall...
However, a second before it fell, its arm muscles suddenly bulged, and with a force, it threw the Star Sea Train forward.
With the support of this external force.
The Starry Sea Train was like a streak of lightning. In just a moment, it broke through the limits of this dreamland and arrived at the stable dark void outside...
……
In the dome hall.
The Starworm also breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it had escaped from the unstable dream realm.
“That creature from the dream world just now seemed to have fallen into a deep dream…will something happen to it?” Although he didn’t know who the other party was, they were able to escape danger with the other party’s help.
Upon learning that the creature from the dream world had fallen into a deep dream, the Starworm couldn't help but worry about it.
You know, Deep Dream is a forbidden place in the dream world. Even if a legendary being enters it, he may get lost and die.
Facing the Starworm's worry, the owl was very calm: "Don't worry, it's my old friend. It comes from the Deep Dream. It will be fine."
Starworm: “???”
A dream creature from the deep dream? !
Since the other party came from Deep Dream and was an old friend of Owl, even if they had just fallen into Deep Dream, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?
The solemn atmosphere created by the owl just now was so heavy that Starworm almost thought that he was really finished.
Owl: "...Even with its guidance, it will take a long time to get out of the Deep Dream. Moreover, the Star Lord has not agreed on a route to enter the Deep Dream, so it will be illegal driving at that time."
Starworm: “…”
Starworm didn't know what to refute and could only stand there silently.
Perhaps because he had just escaped death, he actually felt a little emotional at this moment.
In the dream just now, the dreaming creature might be just an ordinary intelligent insect. Under normal circumstances, even an ordinary person could kill it with one foot.
But the dream of such a tiny creature entered the dream world, and under the influence of invisible forces, it became extremely strange.
Even the Starry Sea Train that traverses the void was almost caught.
This is enough to show the strangeness of the dream world.
"Now I understand why the Dream World and Nightmare World are the special worlds that the creatures in the Infinite Plane fear the most..."
Starworm said while sighing.
When the owl heard his words, he turned around and said with a smile: "Although I don't know why you suddenly feel this way, I can quietly reveal a little gossip to you."
Starworm: “?”
The owl tilted its head to one side, with an inexplicable light in its eyes: "The gap area we are going to this time is the gap area between the dream world and the nightmare world."
Starworm: “!!”
After a moment of incredible shock, the Starworm asked in confusion: "Is there a gap between the Dream World and the Nightmare World?"
Owl shrugged. "Maybe it didn't exist before, but it exists now."
“Why did the gap zone suddenly appear?”
In response to Starworm's question, Owl shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
But in fact, the Owl had guessed something from what the Star Lord had revealed.
But there is no need to tell these to Starworm.
"When you become a Maintainer and reach the level of a five-star conductor, I will tell you."
Starworm: “…”
Maintainer, this is also his goal. However, it took him hundreds of years to become a three-star train attendant, a 'permanent waiter', and no one knows how long it will take to continue to advance.
By then, he probably won't be interested in this information anymore.
"Don't be so pessimistic about the future. You might have a role in this mission. If you participate enough, it's not impossible for the Star Lord to promote you to a five-star conductor."
"After all, the Star Lord takes this mission very seriously."
Seeing that Starworm's curiosity was aroused, Owl stopped talking and stopped there.
It turned its head and looked outside the dome.
"It's so peaceful..."
There is nothing in the void, only endless darkness.
"There is nothing outside, not even the slightest trace of a dream. If I tell others that this is a gap in a dream, I guess no one will believe it."
"But the calmer I am, the more uneasy I feel inside."
“Is there really someone from my past here?”
