Chapter 28 Home is where my heart is
"In my dream... my ideal world..."
The inheritance processed by the "Puzzle of Everything" clearly cannot have any hidden tricks.
However, the information contained within it particularly intrigued Perseus.
Soul penetration power exceeding the level of a king-level deity—
After being crowned a king, one becomes a venerable. However, the description of the inheritance points out that only the "soul penetration power" surpasses that of a king. So, is this an illusion technique inheritance left by an invincible king? Or is it an illusion technique inheritance at the venerable level?
"It should be 'Invincible King'!"
Perseus read the relevant information again.
It is said to have a powerful soul defense, but it is not said that this inheritance can easily resist the illusions of the Venerable Ones. This means that only some of the special properties of "Dreamland" have touched the threshold of the Venerable Ones.
Its powerful penetrability is the most prominent feature of this illusion technique.
Similarly, this is consistent with the fact that the invincible king's abilities have reached the level of a general universe venerable.
However, the god of blindness and folly...
As if he had thought of something, Perseus's lips twitched violently twice.
This name sounds damn familiar!
Xiao Sa, is that you?
The primordial source of chaos core has actually become an immortal king in the world of Devouring Stars—although we know this should only be an accident, who can guarantee that the blind and foolish god back then wasn't an incarnation of some creator god?
Cthulhu Outer Gods and the like, isn't that the kind of thing they love to do the most?
Perseus banished the jumbled thoughts from his mind, secretly thinking that he had really opened his mind. After all, with big shots like Yuan around, even the most powerful aliens would have to kneel down.
But in reality...
Just to be on the safe side, while he was recording the inherited content and piecing together the secret method in his spiritual sea, he also melted down the original hexagonal copper sheet.
As the system's power spread, the hexagonal copper piece, which was originally comparable to all the energy within an immortal being, rapidly decomposed, breaking apart from its original whole into fragments, which then condensed back into individual spiritual energy crystals. These were then stored in Perseus's spatial ring and vanished without a trace.
This is the resource he needs to break through to the realm master level!
Although it's uncertain what level this energy will be enough for him to break through, at least with these spiritual energy cores, he won't have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time.
"Now let's look at that ideal land of dreams."
Having resolved all the beginnings and end, Perseus began to read the fragmented secrets scattered in his mind.
With his current level of soul and mental power, his spiritual sea is not yet sufficient to directly bear the secret techniques of this level.
However, the bamboo slips broken into strips are essentially no different from a complete scroll of book.
Therefore, after a series of attempts to find the beginning of the secret, Perseus finally managed to see the contents of the secret on the seventh day of reading it.
"Gathering the power of faith?"
"No, there's no such description. It only mentions offering up joyful memories, and it seems to have been mentioned above that a connection is established between God and humanity..."
Is mind reading possible?
Perseus could hardly imagine countless lives kneeling before a colossal statue, praying sincerely to it.
However, after reading through this series of books, he became increasingly certain that the king must have possessed some kind of talent or secret technique to collect these things.
Otherwise, if we were to collect all the happy memories one by one, it would take forever.
Even if he could read minds, it would be impossible for him to collect a large number of happy memories of life in different regions of the universe through some ordinary idols.
This is simply impossible!
It's not just about how to perceive.
There is a limit to how much memory a person can have; a massive amount of memory can create an enormous burden.
If it's true, as the tradition says, that the god of blindness and folly absorbs the happy memories of believers every day, and that the scope of these memories spans hundreds or even thousands of galaxies, then it's truly a miracle that he hasn't gone mad.
Therefore, it is impossible to receive a large number of memories at the same time.
Conversely, in order to protect the soul, life gradually forgets some unimportant memories and buries the past over a relatively long life.
Of course, if that immortal king were to insist on collecting memories despite the hassle, it wouldn't be impossible for him to do so with his immortal lifespan...
"Wouldn't it be better if I just turned around and learned some other secret techniques?"
Perseus narrowed his eyes and glanced at the troublesome secret technique.
Although the ideal world in my dream is a rip-off, if you set aside the happy memories, the secret technique itself is indeed at the King level—as the secret technique itself stated.
Therefore, learning the illusionist techniques mentioned above is a good idea.
However, if there is no other way to collect happy memories, then when he has the ability in the future, the first thing he will do is to replace this illusion.
"But what are these coordinates?"
Perseus noticed the spatial coordinates in the 352nd fragment.
This kind of location method seems to have been abandoned long ago...
"Number 1, please check what location this is."
"It is the territory of the demon race."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light screen was projected in front of Perseus, with a red dot marked on it. It was clearly located outside the human territory, at least a dozen universes away from the human territory border on the Fenglan Universe Kingdom side.
Obviously, Perseus can't go there now.
Even if he suspected that this coordinate might hold the secret of the God of Blindness and Folly collecting memories, he didn't have the ability to verify it.
But it's okay!
If we can't go now, we can wait until the future. If the domain lord's strength isn't enough, then we'll wait until we become a realm lord, an immortal...
Returning to one's true self, isn't the demon race also one's goal?
Perseus, finally having sorted things out, was completely relieved and simply sat down in the laboratory to try to communicate with his mental sea to condense the prototype of the illusion.
First and foremost are happy memories.
The secret method states that it must be a real illusion, requiring a real place, but it is a place of one's own imagination.
"The Fiery Sacrifice Continent!"
As Perseus used his mental power to trace the secret runes and recalled his imagined 'homeland,' the mist in his mental sea instantly dissipated.
A majestic continent, crowned by the sun, moon, and stars, floats seemingly without support in the dark, ever-expanding universe. Although it lacks a world membrane and differs from the "round heaven and square earth" concept described in ancient Chinese history, it is brimming with energy and contains countless essences.
Of course, this continent is still very much a fantasy right now.
However, soon, as Perseus sketched out the surrounding illusions, his soul flew into the continent.
The previously somewhat illusory Yanji Continent immediately became solid, serving as the anchor point for his ideal dreamland, allowing him to gain a preliminary grasp of this secret technique.
Perseus opened his eyes in surprise.
"Is it really that easy?"
The supposedly extremely difficult-to-enter-enter, unrealistic fantasy was somehow bypassed.
Thinking about the reasons for his success, and recalling the longing he had accumulated for the ancestral land of Yanji Continent over the past few hundred years before he awakened his innate wisdom, Perseus narrowed his eyes.
"Of course!"
His success was deserved... his failure would truly be due to some shady dealings!
Home is where my heart finds peace.
For centuries, the yearning for the Yanji Continent and the hatred of hiding and fleeing have been driven by pure obsession, which is the core of the fantasy world in my dreams.
Once the core of illusion is present, the illusion woven through mental power will become more realistic, bringing about a double deception on both the illusory and psychological levels.
