The object that creates the projection in this space is a strange beast that looks remarkably like a shellfish, located beneath the sea surface.
"Mirage!"
Lu Yunhe quickly calculated that it was a strange beast with a tendency towards the Illusionary attribute, and also leaned towards the Dragon category in terms of species.
As for its appearance, the dragon form is hardly such an inconvenient thing. As one of the original mythical life forms, the dragon has been striving to expand its own concept.
Unlike humans, who become increasingly solitary as time goes on and are extremely averse to other species, no matter how similar they may be.
Beneath the shimmering sea surface, a mirage is inhaling and exhaling the energy of heaven and earth, dragging and eroding a dimensional space with its own power.
The movement of the mirage projected images from another dimension, directly causing the mirage to appear.
On this vast, boundless sea, such a sight is so striking that it is easily captured.
If it weren't for the mirage's incredible power, it would probably have been discovered long ago.
However, the mirage worms were also helpless. If they wanted to break through the defenses of the dimensional space and obtain what was inside, they could only do so by wearing down the power of the space in this way.
All it can do is keep moving fast and avoid attracting the attention of the truly powerful.
However, the defenses of this dimensional space far exceeded its expectations, and it took a very long time to break through it completely, even leaving behind a legend in this northern wilderness city.
This made the mirage both happy and anxious. It was happy because the stronger the power of the dimensional space, the better the things inside were. It was anxious because the longer it took, the easier it would be to be discovered.
"Someone's getting closer!"
The mirage was furious, but soon spotted the humans standing on the sea surface and was immediately startled.
"The one who has arrived is actually a legendary figure!"
After leaving the ship, Lu Yunhe did not deliberately conceal his aura. There was nothing to hide about the power of a mere Legendary Realm cultivator.
Although Lu Yunhe himself didn't care, the power of the legendary realm was still incredibly conspicuous.
"Human, you have trespassed on my territory! Leave now!" A roar like a dragon's cry rang out, and the sea surged, making the mirage appear and disappear.
The mirage insect also displayed its legendary power, hoping to use it to repel the invaders.
At the same time, the talent from the mirage worms was also superimposed on the spatial projection, creating a real mirage to interfere with the enemy's vision.
"Hopefully we can keep this a secret." The mirage worm grew nervous. If a human appeared, it meant there was a whole group behind them.
If it can't be solved in the most perfect way, then it will be troublesome.
It had finally managed to wear down the defenses of this dimensional space, but unexpectedly, it attracted a group of competitors.
As for killing the opponent, the mirage worm is not confident that it can eliminate the enemy without leaving a trace, and may even expose its true secrets because of the battle.
"We are destined to meet!"
As Lu Yunhe watched the mirage gradually emerge from the seabed, he was more interested in this strange beast than the things in that dimensional space.
"A destined connection?"
Upon hearing this, the mirage was stunned. Its little eyes blinked, almost thinking it had misheard.
The other party is merely a legendary realm cultivator; where did they get the audacity to subdue it?
“That’s right, this is the guidance of fate.” Lu Yunhe nodded.
Previously, I captured a Dream Eater that leaned towards the Dream attribute, and now I've unexpectedly encountered a Mirage that has the Illusion attribute. The combination of the two has a somewhat dreamlike quality.
As a mythical beast, it was naturally fate that he encountered it.
If it weren't for the rules of the Pokédex, when a mythical beast is successfully born from heaven and earth, it would probably automatically acquire some companions.
"By combining the Dream Eater and the Mirage, we should be able to create a suitable Dream Familiar."
Lu Yunhe pondered, but he was probably not as effective as the people in Dream City.
The Dream Eater and the Mirage, these two highly malleable mythical creatures, are probably also his companions prepared by the will of heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, before Lu Yunhe met her, she had already created her own human companions.
Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's words, the Mirage on the other side was instantly enraged by its proud dragon-like nature; this was an insult to the "Mirage."
"It seems that the reputation of my Mirage Clan is not well-known, and all sorts of nobodies are coming to provoke us." The Mirage Insect slowly opened its small mouth, and a mesmerizing mist began to rise.
Judging from their attitude, they probably won't give up unless they show some strength.
Roar!
A terrifying dragon of heaven and earth emerged from the illusory mist, a materialized dragon exuding an aura of ancient savagery.
Moreover, the dragon of heaven and earth was given the talent of illusion by the mirage worm, appearing to be a living being, but also an illusory creation.
This resulted in the Heavenly Dragon not only possessing the power of the Legendary Realm, but also being able to fight it recklessly, since it didn't affect the Mirage Worm itself.
With this move, the Mirage Worm thoroughly disgusted many beings of the same level.
"Give back your destiny!"
The mirage scoffed, "You're not some god of fate, yet you dare to claim to be fate. Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death for being so arrogant?"
Once it has defeated the enemy, it should seize the opportunity to break through the dimensional space's defenses, retrieve the items within, and flee to the Northern Sea. It should then emerge once the storm has passed.
The mirage made this plan, and then it felt the power of fate.
The power of the mirage leans towards the path of illusion, allowing illusory things to temporarily possess the power of reality, and also enabling it to launch attacks on the soul.
Upon reaching the legendary realm, this power, combined with the domain and the mirage worm's own talent, even possesses the ability to temporarily modify the laws of heaven and earth.
Legendary Realm, by combining its domain with the power of heaven and earth, is practically like having a magnifying glass, allowing it to maximize the power of its profession.
Most professions undergo a qualitative change at this stage. The closer they are to the world, the greater their power becomes, since it is a path derived from the original Dao.
The core of the original Dao is heaven and earth, and the two complement each other, with humans occupying the central role in regulation.
With its domain, talent, and professional abilities, the Mirage Insect, as a veteran of the Legendary Realm, fully demonstrated its strength, feeling that it was in no way inferior to any other Legendary Realm expert.
Then, the mirage encountered a dimensional reduction attack.
"Invert the yin and yang!"
In an instant, Lu Yunhe made his move, and the dreamlike power descended into reality.
The dream and reality were reversed; the materialized dragon created by the mirage instantly vanished like a bubble, turning back into illusory mist.
This scene completely stunned the mirage worm. It could understand if the other party had directly destroyed the giant dragon it had created through sheer strength.
But what kind of immense power does it take to render an attack ineffective from a higher dimension?
A head-on knockout can only be attributed to strength, but a strike from a higher level can be considered truly great.
The illusion technique that the mirage was so proud of was completely enveloped by Lu Yunhe's dreamlike power.
A higher level of strength only increases destructive power, but a higher level of mastery means that even one's thoughts are under the control of the opponent.
Lu Yunhe's understanding of the Path of Dreams far surpasses that of the Mirage Worm, and there is no difference in their power.
In the actual battle, this was reflected in Lu Yunhe reaching out a hand and picking up the mirage from the illusory mist.
Looking at the mirage worm, which was as obedient as a well-behaved child, Lu Yunhe did not use "Dream Reincarnation" to wear down its true spirit, as it would be troublesome to repair it afterward.
"Owner!"
The mirage insect honestly recognized reality: what legend? Its master was at least a top-tier demigod.
As for true gods, the mirage worm had never considered it; they were indeed too far away.
“Master, there is another dimensional ruin here, which should have been left behind by some powerful being,” the mirage worm said.
It also realized that its master was also pursuing a career related to the path of illusion, and that it was indeed destined to be with him. If it could receive training from its master, it might be able to advance even further.
The ruins it has painstakingly protected are probably waiting for their true owner to arrive; such things are not uncommon around the world.
Otherwise, why would it be so close to obtaining the ruins, only to be intercepted by its owner? It truly is the influence of fate.
"remains!"
Looking at the small world hidden deep in the space, Lu Yunhe realized that after so many years of wear and tear by the mirage worms, only a thin layer remained. He only needed to wait a while longer, or for several legendary realm experts to join forces, to completely break through the small world's defenses.
The dimensional space before us was likely created by a professional before their death. By combining the defensive measures with the spatial essence, a powerful defensive barrier can be formed.
The essence of attrition is quite simple: it accelerates the consumption of the dimensional space's origin and speeds up the world's crushing absorption of the dimension.
Once the source is insufficient, the space will be completely exposed to the outside world, and then you can go in and plunder it.
But for Lu Yunhe, there was no need for such trouble. Thanks to the efforts of the mirage worms, the space's defenses had long since become dilapidated.
After a quick mental calculation, his figure instantly transformed into a dreamlike bubble and stepped directly into the dimensional space.
"As expected of my master!" The mirage insect landed on Lu Yunhe's shoulder excitedly, showing no sadness at missing out on the treasure.
As we all know, choice is more important than effort, and having a powerful backer is more important than luck.
“Receive my inheritance, accept my cause and effect, and destroy the Garden Kingdom for me.”
An angry voice echoed through the space, seemingly communicating with some power.
"Noise!"
Lu Yunhe waved his hand, and the trembling space instantly quieted down.
"The demigod of the Netherworld, a demigod of the Dream Path, seems to have been killed by the ruler of the Garden Kingdom, leaving behind this demigod legacy before his death."
Lu Yunhe casually flipped through the information remaining in the space. If he was truly a legendary figure, receiving the inheritance of a demigod would be enough to make him ecstatic.
Most importantly, if such an opportunity truly exists, it also means that one is qualified to attain demigodhood.
Despite the large number of true gods in this world, the importance of demigods remains undiminished.
In fact, given the size of the Origin World, only more than a thousand true bodies could barely be worthy of it, and it wouldn't be considered shabby, because the Origin World is truly enormous.
"Unfortunately, I'm not a normal legend!" Lu Yunhe shook his head and stuffed the inheritance directly into the mirage worm beside him.
According to its normal destiny, as a mythical beast, it should rise to prominence in this desolate land. When it is weak, it should use its special characteristics to transform the Dream Eater into a personal old man.
Arriving at the North Sea at the Gold level, he seized the demigod's inheritance from the Mirage Worm, successfully broke through to the Legendary level, and then subdued the Mirage Worm.
This led to a confrontation with the Garden Kingdom. According to its heritage, the ruler of that kingdom was also a demigod, and he too followed the path of fantasy.
When the time comes, regardless of who kills whom and takes everything from the other, it's equivalent to gathering at least three portions of the fortune of a demigod, enough to attempt to prove oneself as a true god.
Like attracts like. The reason why so many true gods comparable to cosmic gods have appeared in this world is not because they have good aptitude or spend time cultivating, but because the world is providing support behind the scenes.
The workings of the world actively propelled the birth of a true god, much like seizing possession of the primordial universe to obtain a share of the foundation of a god-king.
