Chapter 417 - 410: Man and Heaven
"The Pure White Dream Realm?"
"What kind of power can I obtain in this Dream Realm?"
It was the first time Li Qingxuan had ever heard this name.
"You cannot obtain power from it, as you are not a Descendant of ’Bai.’ However, you can use certain things within that Dream Realm to help you avoid the dangers of communicating with external magnetic fields."
the figure of light said faintly.
"Then how do I find that key?"
Li Qingxuan asked.
"Actually, the key is right here with me."
The figure of light slowly opened its palm, and an intensely dazzling ball of white light appeared in its center.
From this ball of light, Li Qingxuan felt a sense of warmth, kindness, and familiarity.
"This is the key to the Pure White Dream Realm?"
Li Qingxuan asked, looking curiously at the ball of light.
"Strictly speaking, this is the consciousness frequency of the Pure White Dream Realm. You can think of it as a kind of coordinate."
"Entering another’s dream with your consciousness is, in essence, a process of magnetic field communication. When the consciousness magnetic fields of both parties align, their thought frequencies synchronize, enabling psychic communication. The Buddhist Sect’s Telepathy is a similar technique."
the figure of light explained.
"I understand. It’s like a radio—you have to tune it to the right frequency to connect to the right channel."
Li Qingxuan said.
"That’s more or less it. You can think of the human brain as a signal transmitting and receiving device. When the frequency emitted by your consciousness matches another, you can establish communication."
"However, the magnetic field Power contained within the Pure White Dream Realm is far too advanced. Consequently, the consciousness frequency it naturally emits is at a level currently beyond human reach. Even if some powerful individuals can observe it, they cannot truly touch it."
"Therefore, even with this coordinate, which lowers the difficulty of accessing the Pure White Dream Realm’s frequency to a minimum, you still need your consciousness to be able to slightly manipulate it to truly open the door. For you, however, that shouldn’t be too difficult."
As it spoke, the figure of light extended its palm slightly, and the pure white ball of light flew out, slowly landing in Li Qingxuan’s hands.
"When you can shape this coordinate into a ’key’ within a dream, you will be able to open the gate to the Pure White Dream Realm. This will be the focus of your training for the time being, and I will help you complete this process as quickly as possible."
the figure of light said.
Li Qingxuan stared at the white ball of light hovering in her hands, feeling the power within. She fell silent for a moment before asking, "What exactly do you want me to do? And... what about the fate you mentioned before?"
"As I’ve said, I am a guide. My purpose is to help the life on this planet flourish and grow stronger."
"But in reality, most of the time, I am bound by certain constraints and can only act as an Observer, quietly watching the world change. Only when something happens that violates a certain restrictive mechanism and threatens to have a truly devastating impact on the world can I act within a limited scope and influence reality."
the figure of light stated.
Hearing this, Li Qingxuan suddenly recalled some of her family’s legends. The mysterious figure’s words sparked a certain guess in her mind.
"Could it be... you’re ’Earth’? Or ’Nature’?"
she asked, her expression shaken.
"Not exactly, but not entirely incorrect either. About six thousand years ago, the invasion of some Aliens triggered a stress response in the vast collective magnetic field that permeates Earth’s atmosphere. The Aliens caused large-scale destruction, severely damaging the natural Law. Faced with this situation, as if being eroded by cancer cells, that immense collective magnetic field instinctively responded."
"And I was born in that era. Then, under my control, the entire planet began to fight back against these ’cancer cells’ and temporarily contained the ’illness.’"
the figure of light said, its tone devoid of emotion.
Receiving the figure of light’s confirmation, an irrepressible look of shock flashed through Li Qingxuan’s eyes.
Although she knew the figure’s origins had to be extraordinary, she had never imagined its identity would be so terrifying.
’The embodiment of the world’s will?!!’
"So, my ancestors... and all the Ancient Heroes... were they created by you?!"
Li Qingxuan asked in shock.
"No. The emergence of the Ancient Heroes was a product of Earth’s vast collective magnetic field. They were born with potential and abilities far beyond those of ordinary people. This was a form of natural selection by Earth, and it had nothing to do with me. Throughout this process, I simply taught or inspired them, at the appropriate times, to learn how to use the power they already possessed."
"That is why I say I am a ’guide,’ not a true creator. If you were to compare Earth’s collective magnetic field to a God, then I would likely only be considered a humble servant who attends to that God."
the figure of light said.
"If you’ve existed all this time, why did you just stand by and watch the Celestial Demon revive?!"
Li Qingxuan demanded.
"I am not the creator. After the Celestial Demons were sealed by the Ancient Heroes, they also became aware of the existence behind these individuals who had suddenly gained immense power. So, for all these years, they have carried out their plans in an incredibly subtle manner, hiding in the shadows and slowly, silently pushing the world’s development. Strictly speaking, they have done nothing on a scale that would trigger Earth’s magnetic field, and therefore, I had no authority to call upon any power."
"Furthermore, even the Ancient Heroes couldn’t truly eliminate these invaders. And using the power of Earth’s magnetic field to shape beings that surpass the Ancient Heroes is no longer possible. That’s because they were already the strongest power this planet could produce, and that power has, in fact, already failed."
the figure of light stated.
"So, you’re training me because you want to shape me into a new Ancient Hero?"
Li Qingxuan asked.
"Don’t you understand yet?"
"The Ancient Heroes were a product of failure. Relying on this planet, the limits of their power were inevitably bound by this cage. Even if you became an Ancient Hero, what use would it be?"
"I realized this after the last defense failed. Relying on Earth, one can ultimately only become the strongest beneath the starry sky. Only by relying on oneself is it possible to transcend the shackles of this sky."
"Humanity versus Heaven. It is not that Heaven can crush humanity, but that humanity can overcome Heaven. Humanity should be the protagonist of this era. I will not train you to be a genius of combat. I only hope that you can aid this mortal world in overcoming this crisis... and the even greater crisis that may lie beyond it."
The figure of light looked up at the rainbow-hued sky of the Dream Realm, its tone filled with a certain ethereal quality.
