Chapter 509 Lone Dreamers
Within the whole multiverse exists a number of realms, which are the source of all life that have existed. These realms had their own unique origins, with each origin shaping up these realms" make-up.
*************************
There"s the realms that were created by extremely powerful beings, which are said to be the most numerous in the Multiverse.
These Realms were usually created by Monarchs or those who had the power to create realms, although their reasons for creation are varied. Some create these realms out of boredom, while some create them for the sake of training.
Whatever the reasons for their creation, Created Realms are undeniably a major part of the Multiverse. Numerous heroes and villains had been born of out of these realms, some who turns into highly important individuals.
Created Realms account for around 99.99% of all the realms, making them the "majority" of the Multiverse.
As for the remaining 00.01%., these lies on the category of a different Realm.
*************************
Natural Realms, which are the realms that appeared on their own, are realms that were not created by anyone at all.
They were just born out of the Multiverse itself, without any sentient beings directly involved in their birth.
Such kinds of Realms should not have been existing, as the energy and luck needed to create a Realm are staggering. Without anyone guiding these energy, birthing a realm is almost unheard of.
There"s just no way that a realm could appear by its own, as such act is defiant against the Multiverse!
Yet time has proven that Natural Realms can indeed exist.
*************************
Right now, there are currently 3 known Natural Realms in the Multiverse, each one birthed through a unique process.
There"s the Abyss Realm, which was birthed from the amalgamation of all the emotions and desires of sentient beings in the whole Multiverse.
n.o.body had a hand on creating the Abyss Realm. It just constructed itself once emotions and desires began manifesting in the Multiverse….
The second one is the Inverse Realm. Not much was known about this place, although it was said that any sentient beings entering it always end up as dead. n.o.body were execmpted from this, including the Monarchs, who had one of them die instantly upon setting foot here!
The third and final realm is the Dream Realm. Just like the Abyss Realm, the Dream Realm was also constructed indirectly from the entirety of the sentient beings.
But instead of emotions and desires, what led to the creation of the Dream Realm was the Imagination and Dreams of all the sentient beings.
Any intelligent creature can think by themselves, as such, imagination and dreams are aspects that any sentient being cannot ignore. Whether it was imagining how something would look like, or how something will taste, imagination and dreams are present on everyone.
With the amount of imagination and dreams present in the Multiverse, the Dream Realm quickly became a powerhouse that was at the same level as the Abyss Realm.
But unlike the Abyss Realm which exists in the Multiverse physically, the Dream Realm was a place that has no physical form at all.
*************************
Due to its unique birth and its reliance on the minds of sentient beings, the Dream Realm is a place that only existed on the minds of all creatures.
If one wants to come to the Dream Realm, they can only rely on their mind or souls, something that is extremely dangerous and difficult to do.
Of course if someone is experienced in the matters of mind or souls, accessing the Dream Realm will be a piece of cake.
Spiritualists, shamans, Espers, Dream-Walkers are some of these people. Their souls and mind had reached levels beyond ordinary, making them eligible to step foot on the Dream Realm.
Only experts like these can use and benefit from the existence of the Dream Realm, making them an important commodity for any groups.
*************************
Due to the important nature of the Dream Realm, those who can access it are usually doted upon by powerhouses. These "Dreamers" are given lofty status wherever they go, making them one of the more lucrative position in the Multiverse.
Usually, these Dreamers were affiliated with a powerful group. Only few prefer to go alone, and even them sometimes make deals with other powerhouses.
These kind of Dreamers are called Lone Dreamers, and their status are only a little lower compared to those Dreamers that have affiliations.
*************************
Lone Dreamers are usually hard to find, but one of them was actually here in the Four Moons World.
More specifically, this Lone Dreamer was hidden among Delia"s allies.
This Lone Dreamer was no other than Tong"er, who was currently using her power to exist in the Dream Realm.
While her real body was still standing firm on the Four Moons World, Tong"er"s mind was not in this world anymore.
Her mind was currently loitering in the Dream Realm at this point, making moves that she purprosely kept secret from others, especially from Alex.
******************
[Tong"er]: Little Owl, how long will it take for Mary to come? I have been waiting already here in the Dream Palace for 1 minute, and she still haven"t sent her Dream Avatar here! Is she really coming?
Tong"er said these words from an illusory body, something that looks similar to her original one. These illusory appearance was made more apparent when Tong"er"s body flickered as she continued talking.
[Tong"er]: Hey Little Owl! Say something already! I need Mary"s help! If she doesn"t come already, my companion will be in danger!
[Little Owl]: …
This illusory body is Tong"er"s Dream Avatar, a manifestation of her mind which allows her to exist in the Dream Realm.
It is through this body that Tong"er can talk and communicate with the other beings in the Dream Realm, which includes those who have their own Dream Avatars too…
Right now, Tong"er was here in the Dream Realm for a business trade. She was waiting for her "trade partner" to come, although the wait that she had was already making her angry.
This was made more obvious when she continued complaining to the owl perched on her left shoulder.
[Tong"er]: Little Owl, you are my pet here. As such, you have the responsibility to talk to my friends! Didn"t I tell you earlier to stay close to Mary? DIdn"t I tell you that there"s a chance that I will need her help? Look at what happened now! I need Mary to come here already, yet because of you sleeping on duty, I can"t contact her!
[Little Owl]: Hoot hoot. I am not at fault here. Mary is not contacting me since earlier. Hoot hoot. You cannot blame me for that.
[Tong"er]: Tsk, didn"t she say that she will be available every time? What"s the matter then? Why is she not available now, when I really needed her the most?
[Little Owl]: Hoot hoot. Someone could have attacked her while she"s asleep. Hoot hoot. Maybe that"s the reason why she"s offline.
[Tong"er]: Someone attacked her? Oh G.o.d, if that"s true, then even with her strength, it will take Mary a few minutes before she can come back here…
[Little Owl]: …
[Tong"er]: A few minutes is not good for me! That Traveler Alex is about to find the Legacy Weapon, and our team still does not have a way to gain leverage!
[Little Owl]: …
[Tong"er]: Hmph, even if there"s a contract that is binding Traveller Alex to Big Sis Delia, there"s no knowing what treachery he could do! That"s why I need Mary"s help here! Only she can allow Big Sis Delia to be safe from Traveller Alex!
[Little Owl]: Hoot hoot. Well, Mary is still not here. Hoot hoot. That means you"re still in trouble.
[Tong"er]: You don"t need to explain that to me, Little Owl. I already know that-
[A familiar voice]: Impressive, Tong"er. So you have the capability to access the Dream Realm too. I should have expected this since you have a powerful soul…
[Tong"er]: !!! Who the f**k are you! How do you know my name, and why are you hiding your face?
[A familiar voice]: Why would I introduce myself? You already know my voice, so that should be enough to show my ident.i.ty…
[Tong"er]: No way! This is not true! You… are you-
[A familiar voice]: Just like what I said, you are a talented and impressive person. To access the Dream Realm at such age can be considered an achievement…
[A familiar voice]: However, for you to access this place during an important phase in the Four Moons World is not good for me…
[Tong"er]: !!!
[A familiar voice]: You seem to be waiting for someone here. Can I stay and wait for your "friend" too? You can say no, but I will never leave….
[Tong"er]: …
