Dream Travel

Chapter 500 The Influence of Physical Differences

As long as the small country can be maintained at a population of a few million, and it is ensured that there are not many demons within the country, and that everything here appears 'peaceful and prosperous'.

That makes the area easy to control. For most ordinary people, a comfortable life means there won't be too many problems.

As for those wealthy individuals, what good is a small country if the devil doesn't have the means to deal with them? Simply colluding with them would make them accomplices.

"There's nothing fun left. Let's find an opportunity to make our move." Bai Mu finally gave up on finding places to have fun in the city.

In a place brimming with technology and ruthless work, you have to pay with money and your soul just to get something to eat.

Although it doesn't have a big impact on the White Curtain, for ordinary people, the cumulative effect over time... sigh, evil.

While Bai Mu was working as a slacker, Serafis had already made connections with the demons here.

The demon who developed demonic technology is called Rhaazos, a formidable rival in the competition for Hell's Outer Realms. Serafis sought to negotiate with him under the pretext of cooperation.

Both sides worked together to eliminate other competitors and conquer the foreign land.

Rather than each person receiving only a small piece of territory, it would be better for two demons to divide the territory together.

Laazos did not have a good impression of this neighbor. He had once approached Serafis for cooperation, but the demon did not agree immediately, as the price he offered was too high.

Now that the other party has come knocking on his door, Rayazos is very impolite and is asking for more than Serafis had asked for before.

Not only that, he also wanted the demon potion developed by Seraphis.

That demon potion also has the effect of harvesting souls, and it's a high-quality harvest.

The most unique thing about the demon potions from Seraphis is that the power they grant can be stacked with the power of demons...

He secretly studied those demonic potions and found the reason.

Those demon potions are all influenced by the blood of Serafis's demonic dragon; it is that blood that allows Serafis's demon potions to be used in combination.

Even demons can normally enjoy the corresponding potion enhancements. As for the effects of the potion on the user, it can exert an effect or remove an effect.

Just like the demonic technology he developed.

Laazos sought to ally with Raphis in another form, and the two then shared the hellish realms.

Then he discovered that Serafis was more greedy than he had imagined; he wanted Serafis to serve him, while Serafis wanted everything he had…

Furthermore, this dragon succubus did not conceal her purpose; in fact, Rhaazos's purpose was the same as Seraphis's.

They both wanted everything from the other, but he did try to hide it to some extent.

"I'm going to take over Hell Realm now. The rest is up to you. If you win, you can have whatever you want. If you lose, everything is mine."

Serafis crossed his arms and looked at Rajazos defiantly.

Although she took the initiative to come to him this time, Rayazos felt as if he had begged her.

"Heh heh heh, I can easily find other collaborators." Although he was unhappy inside, Rayazos didn't show much emotion on the surface.

"A collaborator? You don't really intend to fight them for territory in the Hellish Realm, do you?"

Serafis looked at Rayazos with some surprise.

The cooperation between the demons who initially cooperated ended after their power infiltrated the alien realm and enabled them to generate demonic projections within it.

What remains is open and malicious competition, where the weakest will be kicked out first.

When people fight each other in a foreign land, it's a battle on the chessboard. But in reality, they're using underhanded tactics, and whoever dies is out.

"Aren't we cooperating now?"

"The so-called cooperation is just a way to make those who are not strong enough get out of the game faster."

Serafis stared at Narayazos: "This is the last time I'm coming to see you. If you won't cooperate, let's start a war."

Her meaning was clear: their bases were too close together, and if she tried to deal with other demons from the outside, she would be vulnerable to being ambushed by Rhaazos.

If the two cannot reach a consensus, then they must force a consensus through war. As long as one side is defeated, then a consensus will be reached.

Such negotiations have taken place several times already.

Seraphis's previous proposals were even more outrageous, and this arrogant dragon succubus also displeased Rhaazos.

However, the opponent is quite strong, so we need to be prepared before we can take action.

When Serafis lowered his demands, it gave Laazozz a different idea.

After several rounds of negotiation, Serafis's demands were still quite excessive, but at least they were within his acceptable range.

He also had his own conditions, which, in Laazos's view, were far less demanding than Serafis's.

A temporary collaboration between the two parties is possible, but he needs the blood of the Demon Blood Dragon from Serafis.

His dream world, Hell, may not have a hellish dragon like the Blood Dragon, but that doesn't affect his research on Serafis.

The Blood Dragon should possess the characteristic of blood fusion, a characteristic he had learned about in his own world, originating from certain special races of vampires.

Those vampires can permanently or temporarily acquire the abilities of the person they are drinking blood.

Permanent acquisition has its permanent benefits, while temporary acquisition has its temporary benefits, but regardless of the type, it is a very powerful ability.

If he could definitively confirm that Serafis's demonic dragon bloodline possessed this characteristic, he would really have to find a way to use Serafis as a blood bank.

Moreover, she is a succubus, so she can be used for more than just a blood bank.

The trial involves first using demon technology to create demon technology artifacts.

Laazos put forward his proposal.

"Sure, but I want half of the finished product."

“We both gave our all, and this is how it should be,” Rayazos said with a smile.

He felt he was at a disadvantage in this collaboration, but it was still good to gain a better understanding of Serafie.

As for demonic technology... without a sufficient foundation, it's impossible to fully understand. Even if Serafis knew a little about it, she would still be completely clueless.

Once the cooperation was agreed upon, the rest became much simpler.

Neither side wanted to waste time; Serafis would give Rayazos time to prepare, but she wouldn't wait long.

Serafis will also be in the city of Yara during this time.

I'll also meet with Bai Mu while I'm at it.

"You just decided to meet me like this?"

“He won’t notice,” Serafis said casually.

"You'd better be careful. You're being too arrogant on their turf."

"Hehehe, he's probably making preparations in a hurry right now." Serafis revealed a dangerous expression.

“I ‘accidentally’ revealed some of the special characteristics of the Demon Blood Dragon, and Rhaazos is very eager to confirm those characteristics of the Demon Blood Dragon.”

Bai Mu didn't ask what that characteristic was. Since Serafis had taken the initiative to come to him, it meant she was preparing to make her move. "When will you make your move?"

"When we meet again, the Rhaazos I'm negotiating with now is a fake, but to confirm the special nature of the Blood Dragon, he needs to come in his true form."

Serafis glanced at the white curtain as he spoke: "I'm using myself as bait, so don't disappoint me."

"That's not the case. As long as he's not much stronger than you, you can still put up a fight."

Bai Mu took out his weapon case: "By the way, can't you improve your illusion magic a bit?"

Serafis glanced at the weapon case in the white curtain, and after a moment's thought, she shook her head: "No, I only have the bloodline of the Demon Blood Dragon. If the Demon Blood Dragon were replaced with another Hell Dragon, then it might be possible."

Bai Mu wanted her to use illusion magic to transform the weapon box, but the weapon box was Dream Erosion equipment, and its strength was too high, so her illusion magic could not work.

As for other hellish dragon bloodlines, Serafis wasn't that interested; she was already quite satisfied with her current power.

"Okay, just let me know when it's time to make your move... Why are you getting smaller?" Bai Mu saw that Serafis's body was shrinking rapidly.

“I am not here to see you in my true form.” Serafis said, and then transformed into a small doll made in Serafis’s likeness.

Bai Mu picked up the motionless doll. Although the doll looked quite cute, it was, after all, from a demon. Out of caution, he had Beatrice study it.

The problem was then identified through research.

The doll was made of bone and skin, and Beatrice conducted further examinations.

"If my testing is correct, the materials used are the skin and bones of an artificial demon."

"...I understand." Under Leone's gaze, Bai Mu prepared to throw the thing into the trash can with a look of disgust.

"Don't abandon me. I will give you guidance and tips when I need to take action."

"Still alive?" Bai Mu pinched the doll's face in surprise.

The materials used are quite strong, but he has to admit that the feel of them is indeed quite good.

"It's me personally communicating with you." The doll's voice was a bit monotonous: "You can carry it with you, don't put it in your box."

"Then use different materials next time. I feel a bit disgusted carrying around this thing."

"Ha, it's just human perception. It all comes from materials from corpses. Even if you use animal materials, what's the difference between them and what you're holding now?"

"The difference between intelligent beings and animals."

"Just a hypocritical excuse."

Serafis fell silent after speaking, clearly finding it inconvenient to use the puppet to transmit messages.

Bai Mu stared at the doll, observing it. Since it couldn't be lost... he decided to keep it.

The doll was so lifelike that if there weren't other people around, he would have wanted to examine its details closely.

"Put this thing away from you when you go to sleep tonight," Mine reminded Bai Mu. After learning about the raw materials of this thing, she became very resistant to it.

"Okay, how's your reconnaissance going?" Bai Mu asked Mine and the others about their progress.

“Alright, once we start the operation, we can take down the nearby base stations,” Akame replied.

They originally wanted to split up, but the defenses near those base stations were very strong.

With the assistance of Luxenbra's reconnaissance, they could determine that each base station had at least two combatants close to high-ranking demons.

Akame and the others possess weapons made of hell metal, and although their bodies have been enhanced by a virus, they are considered superhuman beings.

They're fine for dealing with mid-level demons, but they're in danger against high-level demons.

Moreover, the ranks of demons are very chaotic. The strength of demons varies from world to world. A high-ranking demon in one place might be a low-ranking ordinary demon in another world.

Luxembra's assessment of the demons' strength was based on his own standards.

However, according to his own standards, Akame and the others are still a formidable opponent.

However, if they encounter a high-ranking demon, they can use the Blood Demon Potion they carry.

However, to be on the safe side, Bai Mu's plan was to mainly take down one base station. The advantage of acting together was that it would be more efficient and would not waste time.

Even if they manage to take the city by splitting their forces, the demon Rhaasos might have already used up all the stored resources by then.

Next, we'll see the location provided by Serafis.

"Now it's time to rest and recharge." Bai Mu hung the doll on the door and lay down on the sofa, flipping through the Dream Erosion camera.

Bai Mu was still working hard to advance to the fourth level of the Thousand Mountains Technique. He even showed the Thousand Mountains Technique to Leone and the others.

However, the results were not ideal. Bai Mu was able to barely get the hang of it, but Leone and the others made much slower progress.

Just because he is the protagonist of another dream world doesn't mean he can accelerate his cultivation.

Even though the Thousand Mountains technique doesn't restrict male and female practitioners, people's physical constitutions are different.

Indigenous peoples in different worlds also have subtle differences in physical constitution.

While the original inhabitants of many dream worlds with similar backgrounds share the same physical constitution, dream worlds with different backgrounds are different.

Beatrice had studied it and found that the physical constitution of the natives in Shan Qifeng's world was different from that of people in reality.

Even if the body structures are almost identical, there will be some differences when measured according to the parts mentioned in the exercise.

These subtle differences can lead to significant individual variations.

The Thousand Mountains Technique is not impossible for real people to cultivate, but the difficulty increases during cultivation.

Unless there is some extraordinary genius who can adjust these techniques, but Bai Mu is not an extraordinary genius.

In addition, Atrist also conducted physical tests on Leone and others, and found that their physical condition was not much different from that of real people.

However, the physical constitution of the natives in their world is different from that of people in the real world.

Moreover, their adaptability to dream erosion differs from that of those who come from other dreams.

Beatrice has a new theory: their physical constitution is closer to that of real people because their bodies have been affected by the normal effects of dream erosion.

It's like the beneficial dream-eating properties that come from eating dream-eating ingredients.

After their bodies were affected by the dream erosion of the source of the strange dream, their physical condition naturally became closer to that of real humans.

The source of the dream is a real person. People who enter the dream world through the source of the dream will be affected by the dream erosion of the source of the dream, thus being able to communicate normally with the people in the dream world.

Things brought out from other dreams will also be affected by the dream erosion of the dream source, and transformed into information that can be understood in reality.

What about life forms that normally arrive in reality through the source of alternate dreams?

The dream visitor is one example, while the dream visitor brought out by the white curtain is a special case.

The problem is that the average person's physical condition is not very suitable for the Thousand Mountains Technique...
