As Jialou Tianzun once said, the Yuan power of the Nine Netherworlds is his greatest reliance.
This fellow is indeed quick-witted; he lives up to the Holy Venerable's high regard. The Goddess of Illusionary Music said with satisfaction:
“Interesting, very interesting. Well then, I will follow this method to do my best to be a good host and treat them well.”
Duanmu Heng lowered his head slightly: "The Holy Venerable instructed beforehand that if you can keep Jiuyou in your dreams, you will be the number one hero in this battle of divine descent."
"I will do my best." The Goddess of Illusion chuckled softly, and the illusory image of the purple butterfly slowly disappeared in mid-air.
Duanmu Heng pressed his temples again and started reviewing the intelligence report once more.
In reality, we cannot slacken our efforts in the offensive; only by employing a two-pronged approach can we take down Panlong Secret Realm as soon as possible.
……
The purple dream shattered into pieces, melting away like spring snow. Mother Earth, full of hesitation, awaited leaving the dream, but then felt a slight chill beneath her feet.
Huh, there's water?
It looked down and saw that water had been seeping up from the ground, and the water level was getting higher and higher.
This is truly unbelievable! Every crack in the ground is a bottomless abyss, and water should flow downwards, so why is water bubbling up from the abyss instead?
Mother Earth's joy vanished in an instant.
What on earth is going on?!
Just over ten breaths later, the purple flower dream completely disappeared, and Mother Earth was completely submerged in water.
No, strictly speaking, it was standing in the sea, in shallow water.
There was only a vast ocean in front of us, and we couldn't see any islands.
Mother Earth felt a chill in her heart. When she turned around, she realized that she was not far from the beach, only a few feet away.
It's time to get up there; we can't just stay floating in the water forever.
It steadied itself and walked onto the beach step by step.
The sand was white and fine, and several small crabs scurried in and out of the crevices of the rocks, while seabirds perched among the reefs, sneaking out their beaks.
Several small fishing boats were still on the beach, with neatly arranged fishing nets on them.
There is a dense forest along the coastline.
Some commotion came from behind the woods, but it wasn't the sound of the tide.
Where is this?
Mother Earth was dejected and had no mood to move. She stood there for a while before finally taking a step forward.
It was too quick to rejoice. It did shatter the Purple Flower Dream, but the Goddess of Illusion seemed to have immediately stuffed it into the next dream!
Mother Earth was puzzled. With wind and dew in her hands, shouldn't she just return to reality?
If it can continue to shatter this dream, are there even more delusions waiting for it in the future?
This place is both a dream and a divine realm. Perhaps some of its laws are different from those of dreams on earth?
Is the only way to leave the Dream Kingdom to defeat Huanle?
As Mother Earth pondered, she parted the grass and walked forward.
After walking another two hundred zhang or so, the forest came to an end, and the view suddenly opened up before us:
Ahead lay a city.
A seaside town.
There seemed to be quite a few people. There were shops inside the city, but outside the city, people didn't even need to set up stalls. Most people were squatting on the ground with a few small basins in front of them.
The basins contained the goods they were selling: fish, fruits and vegetables, spices, chickens and ducks. The gestures of the people bargaining resembled a game of rock-paper-scissors.
As soon as Mother Earth stepped out, she caused a sensation.
A woman selling fish pointed at it and shouted in terror.
Amazingly, Mother Earth could understand what the woman was shouting: "The monster is coming! The man-eating monster is coming again!"
Although Mother Earth's appearance has nothing to do with humans, how did this woman associate it with the word "cannibalism"?
What does “又” mean?
By the way, its height here is no different from that of an average person; it's not particularly outstanding.
As soon as the woman shouted, everyone picked up their basins and ran towards the city.
This is where the advantage of using a basin comes in; you can just pick it up and go without the hassle of packing up.
Only then did Mother Earth notice a name written on a wooden sign by the city, the strokes of which were slightly crooked:
Haidongliao.
So that's the name of this place. Useless, Mother Earth still doesn't know where this is; after all, this is the dream of the Goddess of Illusion, not hers.
All it knew was that it was an island.
The Goddess of Illusion has probably learned her lesson and dares not let it stand on solid ground again. Even if the Earth Mother unleashes her power once more, collapsing the entire city and the whole island, it doesn't matter, because the island lies beneath a vast ocean!
As soon as the "monster" Earth Mother appeared, the bells in Haidong Dormitory rang wildly, and everyone rushed into the dormitory. The city gates were then closed, and the roads outside were deserted.
Before the city gates were even closed, Mother Earth discovered that the island's inhabitants were short and dark-skinned, and the town's buildings, reeking of seafood, were dirty and dilapidated, utterly incomparable to the neat and beautiful houses on Mother Earth's plains. But—
This island, this city, doesn't have a single purple element.
Nothing could be associated with the goddess of illusion.
In fact, if it hadn't just broken through the Purple Flower Dream and arrived here, it would never have associated this sea city with the Goddess of Illusion.
As Mother Earth wandered around, she wondered how she could get out.
This island doesn't seem very big; perhaps brute force could be used to clear it again, like last time. But what if the Goddess of Illusion has arranged another dream for it?
What if there's another dream after the first one?
Its soul power is limited, unlike the boundless strength of the real world. Once it is exhausted, it may truly fall into a deep sleep.
Therefore, it must be cautious.
As the Earth Mother walked, she muttered to herself, "Didn't Bao Chihai say that illusory dreams must be constructed by real people? Is there still anyone sleeping in the Dragon-Trapping Cave right now? So, what is the Goddess of Illusion's dream built upon?"
The grass rustled in front of them, and Mother Earth became alert. She parted the grass and saw a dark-skinned islander in his thirties, who was thin and bony.
The gate to the dormitory probably closed too quickly, so he couldn't go back and ended up hiding here.
Upon seeing Mother Earth, the islanders screamed in terror and fled in panic.
Mother Earth grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back: "Shut up!"
It knew these people could understand.
The man clutched his head and screamed for help.
Mother Earth grew impatient: "Shut up, or I'll eat you!"
These words had a remarkable effect; the man indeed shut his mouth, but he kept trembling.
"I ask you, what place is this?" Mother Earth also felt a bit silly. Wasn't this just a dream? Was it necessary to investigate?
"Hai, Haidongliao!"
Where is it located?
"maritime."
The Earth Mother was enraged and slapped him twice: "Are man-eating monsters often seen around here?"
“Not often, but sometimes,” the man pointed to the sea, “they’ll climb out of the sea and grab people to eat.”
Just like the way Mother Earth appears, no wonder people are afraid.
The Earth Mother inquired further and learned that man-eating monsters would occasionally land from the sea and attack Haidongliao, sometimes in groups and sometimes in small groups.
This city is a bit dilapidated, and these people are a bit weak; they don't seem capable of resisting monsters.
"Can you hold them off?"
"We definitely can't stop them on our own."
