Dream Travel

Chapter 402 Fate is the Bond

"You don't know about the Dream Graveyard?" the fox girl asked, somewhat surprised.

Bai Mu shook his head. He really didn't know anything about the Dream Graveyard. Like the white-haired fox girl in front of him, Bai Mu himself was also her 'kind'.

But she really didn't know what the Dream Graveyard was.

"That's a place where a large number of strange dreams accumulate, covering a vast area. Even if the strange dreams get out of control, they won't..."

"Wait, a huge accumulation of strange dreams?" Bai Mu's eyes lit up. Putting everything else aside, this was exactly what he wanted!
"Hmm... This is not a good thing, but a passive and negative way of coping. The Dream Graveyard near Ashra is about to collapse."

The fox spirit appeared very serious.

"The consequence of the collapse is the destruction of this city?" Bai Mu asked casually.

The fact that the other party can wait for him means that it's still a long way from time for problems to arise.

"The destruction of this city is just the beginning; I can only confirm this consequence."

The fox spirit shook her head. If it was just the destruction of a city, then all the people here could be moved away beforehand.

The worst-case scenario would be that the local authorities would not believe her, leading to the destruction of a city.

But the problem is not just about a city destroying Hassan.

How did you confirm this?

Atreus looked at the white-haired fox girl with suspicion.

"It's still related to my power. When I came into this world, my destiny was intertwined with this world's, which is why I experience certain omens..."

The white-haired fox spirit explained the reason.

Every living being, or even every thing, is connected to the fate of the world, even if it is not a being of this world.

She is an outsider, but after coming to this world, she will still be connected with the fate of the world itself.

The connection between them is like that between fish and water, or between people and air. They are not affected by changing environments and can become independent of their environment.

She is the 'Master of Fate', but she does not control fate. Rather, she uses this power to stabilize certain things and maintain a balance between them.

She came to this world because of a strange dream, and her original mission no longer exists. She can't go back even if she wants to.

Although her original mission was gone, her abilities did not disappear, and she subsequently became connected with this world.

She is also a 'fish' that needs water to survive; this world is a river, an ocean.

Her ability allows her to foresee problems in the world through connections in fate.

In this respect, it's just like her own world, except that this world is very singular, with no other place besides the human realm.

Therefore, she does not need to act as a special link to maintain the balance of a particular area.

If the world is likened to an ocean, then she has now used her abilities to discover that this ocean is beginning to warm up.

An abnormal increase in ocean temperature signals a potential mass extinction.

If this were only manifested on the ocean, it would be somewhat better; but if it manifested globally, that would be a major crisis.

"Then you should contact the United Nations," Bai Mu said, somewhat speechless. He thought it was something trivial, but it suddenly turned into saving the world.
Bai Mu doesn't mind doing good deeds or even fighting demons, but saving the world directly is out of the question.
“They don’t believe me, and if I contact them, I’ll get into trouble.”

The fox spirit explained why she was looking for someone: her abilities allowed her to avoid certain unnecessary crises.

After doing certain things, her fate will become linked to those things.

Through this connection, she can 'tell her own fortune'.

Other things are hard to calculate, but I can still calculate my own.

So the biggest problem arose: she went to the United Nations to explain the matter, but she didn't know if it could be resolved.

But she herself will definitely be greatly affected.

Her fate will be intertwined with a host of unknown, malevolent destinies because of what she did.

Those fates are intertwined with the United Nations of this world.

Once he makes his statement, those malicious fates will ensnare him.

"I want to emphasize that even if I were to go all out right now, I couldn't destroy a mountain. How could I possibly save the world?"

Bai Mu thought this fox spirit was being far too fantastical.

"I didn't say I was saving the world, I was just patching a problem. Problems only become irreversible after they appear. If we solve the problem beforehand, then nothing will happen."

If we're talking about saving the world, the person in question doesn't believe there's any way to "save" the world.

However, if you simply apply a suitable patch before the problem occurs, there won't be any issues.

The difficulty levels of the two are not comparable. Solving the Dream Graveyard issue is equivalent to healing a minor wound on a person.

If this wound is treated early, the person will be fine. However, if this small wound is not treated, it will definitely lead to tetanus.

Small wounds are easy to treat, but once they develop into tetanus, they become difficult to cure.

“I think I understand. The dream graveyard you mentioned has touched me. I’m going to go and take a look, but I’ll have to wait two months.”

Bai Mu was interested in the idea, but didn't want to act on it immediately.

He really needs some time to recover, especially now that he's being watched by a group of demons. Going to the Otherworldly Graveyard... wait, the demons probably wouldn't dare go there, right?

"You're afraid of dream erosion too, aren't you?"

"Yes, but aren't you afraid?" the master said pointedly.

Atresia, as if struck by a sudden thought, stared at the person destined for her fate and asked, "If this matter is resolved, what will you gain?"

She didn't believe that the white-haired fox spirit wouldn't benefit from this, even though she had explained the problem very clearly.

If it's really as serious as she says, then it's true that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. This matter must be resolved, but what happens after it's resolved?

"After this is resolved, the world will become more normal, and I'll probably just get some kind of boost in certain areas—you could think of it as an increase in authority." "An increase in authority?"

The subject nodded gently: "In my original world, I had the responsibility to maintain the balance between the two realms."

I no longer have this responsibility, but my abilities haven't disappeared.

"Two worlds?" Beatrice stared in astonishment at the white-haired, fox-eared girl before her.

“They are two different territories.” The person in question quickly shook her head. If it were as exaggerated as Beatrice described, she wouldn’t need to wait for her destined person in this city.

He went to find the person himself, or rather, he went to resolve the matter himself.

However, the latter is very difficult to achieve.

As a being from another dream, she, like those other dreamers, does not possess any so-called dream-erosion resistance.

For her, Dream Eclipse was like Superman facing Kryptonite. Although there was no problem of being very uncomfortable within a certain range, direct contact with Dream Eclipse was more uncomfortable than Superman contacting Kryptonite.

“We can form a bond, and after that, you will receive my ‘favor’.”

"It's not a blessing from fate?" Bai Mu thought for a moment, then finally asked.

“It is my blessing,” the person of fate explained. Although her blessing touched upon destiny, it was not destiny itself.

She acted as a middleman in this.

Specifically, when Bai Mu encounters trouble caused by a malicious fate and tries to fight against it, the fate she can influence will take effect.

When the White Curtain is under mortal attack, it would be a fatal blow if he did not have her protection.

But with her favor, when Bai Mu is about to suffer a fatal wound, she might just happen to trip and fall, thus avoiding such an attack.

If going out might lead to a crisis, then Bai Mu might encounter other things, thus choosing not to go out.

Since she had become connected with Bai Mu, she didn't want anything to happen to him, and this hope was influenced by the power of her own destiny.

As for people she doesn't know, they are not within her influence. The main reason she can have such an impact on the White Curtain is due to the connection of 'fate'.

“Okay, wait two months, you pay the deposit first.” Bai Mu said very decisively. As for the fateful master’s mention of a predestined relationship, he simply regarded it as a bonus of good luck.

But as for the specifics of this thing, he planned to go back to Rota City and ask Lily.

If we can't explain it by force either, let's wait and see.

If there's really no problem, then accept it as a favor. If there is a problem, then ask her to put it in the box.

"Would you like to come to Rota City with me?"

The person in question shook their head: "I cannot leave here now."

She was a normal 'fox', not a desert fennec fox, and she disliked the environment here in every sense of the word.

Even though Eshra is a very green city, she still prefers environments like mountains and forests.

Because she came to this world through a strange dream, the first place she appeared was this desert.

And since the address was near Eshra, she encountered a lot of hostility when she first arrived.

Her appearance, including her animal ears and other non-human features, makes her a unique and rare find in the eyes of many.

Even demons have their eyes on her. She can deal with some demons directly, but she won't confront others lightly.

In learning about the problems of this world, she discovered why she was in this world, and she also learned about the strange dream.

Having learned about the strange dream, her fate became initially connected with this world.

In other words, she was transferred to another position.

On her first day in the new position, she discovered the crisis brought about by the Dream Graveyard.

That's why she didn't leave the city.

She used her abilities to try her best to integrate herself into the area, and then observed the Dream Cemetery near the city.

At first, the crisis was only vague, like an undiagnosed illness. Before a diagnosis, whether a patient is sick is like Schrödinger's cat.

But then she was fully diagnosed, and she began looking for a suitable 'soulmate', and finally met Bai Mu.

This world is not lacking in powerful beings from otherworldly dreams, but no matter how powerful they are, none of them can completely solve the problem.

With the exception of the white curtain.

Others might not be able to tell, but once her fate became intertwined with Bai Mu's, she was pretty sure that Bai Mu was also 'the same kind'.

But White Curtain is different from other dream visitors. White Curtain is not afraid of dream erosion and can actively contact other dreams to turn disadvantages into advantages!

She must form a bond with such an existence, otherwise, if others find out about this, Bai Mu will attract the 'attention' of all the other dream creatures.

The attention isn't necessarily all bad, but there won't be much good either. She will keep this a secret for Bai Mu.

After they became acquainted, as long as Bai Mu doesn't blab about it, only she and Bai Mu will know about this.

Her connection provides an extra layer of protection to the secret of the White Curtain, namely, that she doesn't want anyone else to know about it.

Because of her own fate, when this matter is leaked, it will be subject to disturbances that favor keeping it hidden.

Her own power will exert its influence through the connection of fate, forming a kind of mysterious force.

However, the strength of this influence does not depend on the power of fate itself, but on her own power.

The connection of fate is merely a link that transmits her own power; this link itself has no power to directly change anything.

As always, she remained very restrained in her manipulation of the forces of fate.

Even when it comes to matters related to fate, we try to downplay the part that belongs to the power of fate itself.
