Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 221 Creation

Russell quickly calmed down and pulled himself out of that complicated state of mind.

During his time at sea, he gained a deep understanding of the world, but he couldn't find the legendary Western Continent and the Forsaken Land, thus failing to complete the puzzle.

Now I can finally see that familiar outline.

"Thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, the original creator awoke on Earth, and human civilization was destroyed," Truman said softly, looking at the Earth before him.

"After that, the original creator split apart, scattering extraordinary properties and creating the Star Barrier. Then came the struggle between pillars, the devouring of source matter, and the spying of the Outer Gods."

That is the origin of everything.

Roselle nodded silently, suppressing his complicated emotions and focusing his energy back on creating the illusion.

"Then the Earth cannot truly manifest." Russell flattened the Earth in front of him, turning it into a world with a flat sky and a square earth.

The ocean is still the ocean, capable of creating a planetary visual effect, but overall the world is flat, where various rules are distorted, yet strangely self-consistent.

It's just a dream, there's no logic to it.

"Can we pull everyone into a dream?" Rosell asked.

"Yes, but not necessary. This is also a reflection of people's subconscious." With a flick of Truman's finger, the subconscious of everyone in the world appeared in that world.

And these people's subconscious repeats the things they do in the real world.

"The subconscious? It's more like an NPC." Roselle mused. "This is a world that can be entered through dreams, and people only wake up here after they fall asleep."

"Yes, but not everyone can stay awake in their dreams and have the ability to control them."

Such people are most likely extraordinary individuals, and the rest are also gifted individuals.

"That's why it's a beta version. It still needs improvement."

"Hmm..." Rosell began to leverage his strengths, "Then this place can serve as a beginner's village, while those who have truly awakened from their dreams can weave their own dreams and become dream weavers."

They have completely perfected the Fantasy Realm as a game world, and this approach couldn't be more fitting.

"The dreams they create will become part of the fantasy world, enriching it."

"Our strength is ultimately limited, but the strength of the people is limitless."

Russell's expression was solemn and sacred, but he still couldn't hide his sinister intentions.

He wants everyone to work for him!

Truman's face twisted slightly. "You're a real dog, you even interfere with their sleep time."

I work for you as the First Speaker during the day, and at night I'm dragged into your dreams.

"Ahem! It's a win-win situation! They help us enrich the world, and we give them a perfect dream in return."

"Those streetlights over there are perfect for you," Truman teased, pointing to the streetlights that had suddenly appeared.

However, he did not deny that this was indeed the best method.

"Of course, I am the one who forges the world. I'll take a hammer and hammer out dozens of dreamlike wonderlands."

Russell stroked his chin, gradually becoming excited; the thrill of creation was enough to excite anyone.

"Then we can divide the illusionary world into three levels. The bottom level is the basic world modeled after Earth, followed by the dream of the dream weaver, and the top level is the fairyland we created."

Truman's words caused a violent upheaval throughout the entire illusionary world.

The world began to divide, and dreams began to rise, with the topmost layer being the Garden of Eden and fairytale towns he created.

There are no clear boundaries between these three levels. As long as the dreamer has sufficient understanding, they can easily break through the barriers and reach the top level.

"This is the framework; someone will naturally fill in the details for me later."

Aside from the basic world, the other two frameworks hold infinite hope, which is what I want to see.

"Very good." Truman was very satisfied. He casually picked up a wisp of information from the void and threw it to Roselle.

"This is an advance payment; your current rank is still a bit too low."

Russell took the stream of information, his brow furrowing slightly. "The Emperor of Knowledge?!"

His expression turned extremely strange, something he had never expected.

"There is only this one. The 'Hermit' is my avatar, but not the true god. One of his characteristics has been completely lost."

"In the end, what I can give you is not the authority of the 'hermit'."

"It's the one on the back of your hand."

Rosell raised his hand and looked at the dreamlike mark on the back of his hand; this was the authority of the "World Maker".

"The more perfect the Illusionary Realm becomes, the better my condition will be, and the more power you can borrow from me, until one day, when you leave the Illusionary Realm."

"You can also call yourself the 'God of Dreams' in the real world."

Truman looked at Rosell and revealed to him the ways to become a god other than the "path to godhood" that he had mentioned earlier.

"Can the authority of a true god be divided?"

Finally, Roselle asked this question, which greatly challenged His mystical knowledge.

“Other true gods can’t do it, not even the Old Ones, but I can,” Truman replied.

Once the illusionary realm is complete, the uniqueness of the "Dream" will return to Truman's body, and the ritual will be finished.

This "division" is actually a gift, a way of "dividing" a part of oneself and giving it to believers.

This gift is temporary; the power of the true God must be supported by uniqueness.

The reason Truman was able to separate a certain authority and let Roselle control it was because of the illusion.

One of the materials for creating the illusionary world is the uniqueness of "Dreams". Even if the uniqueness of "Dreams" eventually returns to Truman's body, the illusionary world will still exist.

As the "World Builder" of the Illusionary Realm, Roselle can naturally borrow the power of the entire Illusionary Realm.

"Incredible..."

"But I accepted!" Roselle took a deep breath, deciding to seize this opportunity, and at the same time, he was fully motivated to perfect the illusionary realm.

"Very good." At this moment, a rule was established, and a "contract" was signed between Roselle and Truman.

"Isn't this place more fun than the real world? We don't need that damn First Speaker anyway," Truman advised.

"It's not that simple," Rosell shook his head. "It will take some time before he can retire completely."

"Tsk, then hurry up, don't delay things here."

Russell nodded slightly; the First Speaker, who had been in office for less than a year, was already planning his retirement.

Compared to creating a world, the mundane affairs of an empire are not worth caring about.

"When will the public beta begin?" Rosell asked.

The public beta is a true opening up, allowing extraordinary individuals and dream weavers to enter and improve this world.

"Hmm..." Truman thought for a moment, "We'll do a closed beta test first, and the public beta will probably be a few years later. As for a full rollout, we'll have to wait for my old friend."

The so-called complete rollout means embedding the illusionary realm into the bottom layer of the universe.
