143: Section 143

Pipi Xi's pseudo-personality was, after all, just a simulation. If it were Hexi herself, she would probably have become interested in Alessa the moment she saw her.

And what about Su Ming?

He only began his research after having thoroughly beaten Freddy to death once.

You have to understand.

Whether it's Alessa or Freddy.

They both started out as ordinary mortals!

"This is a worldview where idealism holds the dominant position. Physical reality is loose, and conceptual rules are active. It's as if... any random person, after being elbowed by reality, can turn around and elbow reality back... What a great experimental site, right?"

Scratching her cheek, Pipi Xi looked somewhat awkwardly at reality.

With just one glance, Pipi Xi froze again:

"Wait! Freddy? He's actually still alive!!!"

Su Ming leaned back slightly:

"What's wrong?"

"No, you used the very essence of his nightmare as raw material to recast the Circle of Reason on the spot. How can Freddy still be alive?"

"No, no, no. The nightmare essence is still there. I merely reconstructed it into dream essence!"

Pausing briefly, a playful curve lifted the corner of Su Ming's mouth:

"However... the one who now holds the authority over dreams has become me, while Freddy..."

"Let's go, back to the agency!"

"As for Freddy, believe me, an angry old father will teach him a lesson."

With a flash, the two of them returned to the agency's living room.

However.

Even after returning, Pipi Xi couldn't resist the urge to watch the drama, remotely observing the spectacular scene of the officers ganging up on Freddy.

As for Su Ming himself...

He flopped onto the sofa...

And opened the panel data for the Circle of Reason, admiring it with delight.

[Celestial Body: Circle of Reason (Orange Light)]

[Category: Wonder]

[Attributes: Stellar Vein +150, Derivation +120, Dream +100, Assimilation +40]

[Effect ①: Bountiful Star Ring (Within the range of the Circle of Reason, the derivation rate of supernatural resources increases by 800%)]

[Effect ②: Closed Star Ring (Within the range of the Circle of Reason, all supernatural concepts are Self-contained and unknowable without player permission)]

[Effect ③: Circle of Reason (Governing both idealism and materialism, the Circle of Reason with its Self-derived worldview can autonomously absorb all elements beneficial to its own growth, doubling the expansion speed of this celestial wonder and providing computational power equivalent to a celestial supercomputer {Heavenly Blade level})]

[Description: Forge the Ring of Stars, harvest the thoughts of all living beings! The administrator suspects you have a tendency to construct a cosmic megacorporation and farm civilizations!]

Su Ming: "..."

Slander!

What cosmic megacorporation? What farming civilizations?

Pure nonsense!

This is clearly mutual benefit!

The Ge Men tempers the Minds of life with dream illusions. The various mental energies consumed by life within the dreams, in turn, fuel the continuous expansion of the Circle of Reason!

This is called sustainable development. This is called enhancing civilizational resilience and building a harmonious universe together!

Damn it!

Harvesting... that sounds way too harsh...

Alessa looked timid and fearful, but the oligarchic aura emanating from Lord Omar still made the simple-minded Banshee of Hatred involuntarily keep her distance.

The little banshee's inexplicable action left Su Ming puzzled.

But... it doesn't matter.

Now, he had already projected his consciousness back into the depths of the Dream River of the Circle of Reason through the Stellar Covenant.

That is, peering into the dreams of all living beings through backend permissions.

And also fine-tuning dream parameters.

To avoid excessive homogenization of individual dreams.

Pleasant dreams wear down the Mind.

Nightmares temper the heart.

Combined, they cycle endlessly.

Only then can the maximum exploitation be achieved!

Heh heh heh!—

Do you understand what sustainable development means!

Leaning back with hands on hips·JPG!—

...

That night.

Perona, holding her small parasol, drifted and floated her way back to the agency.

The moment she landed, she gave Su Ming a resentful look.

Lord Omar helping her ascend to a Dream Banshee made Perona happy. But being abandoned by her master, having to risk getting lost navigating through dreams to return to the agency... that made Perona unhappy.

So dangerous!

Waaah!—

The monstrous entities in the dream dimension weren't exactly everywhere, but you could always find a few at regular intervals.

Some of them even eroded pockets of the collective unconscious, wantonly feeding on human negative emotions.

She, a newly ascended Dream Banshee, almost got eaten as a snack by those indescribable existences.

Of course.

How Perona managed to attract those things... don't ask.

Su Ming rolled his eyes and said with annoyance:

"You still have the nerve to feel wronged? Serves you right! Letting you wander all over the map recklessly the moment you made a little progress!"

Shoo, shoo, shoo!—

Go transform into your exclusive banshee form right now!

"Oh, okay, Lord Omar..."

Perona, cowed, quickly vanished into the Pseudo-Current.

During the process.

Alessa watched from start to finish.

A hint of a smile unconsciously appeared on her usually frosty, youthful face.

As a result.

Su Ming shot a sharp glance her way:

"What are you laughing at? You too! Have you finished the deep evolution of your ghost domain? Are your subordinate banshees at full capacity?"

Alessa: "..."

Gotta go, gotta go!—.

Chapter 163 Academic Discussion with the Angels

Super God Main World, Star Palace Tianheng living room.

Su Ming, having just returned from the Magnesium Horror Cesspool World, was immediately surrounded by the angel ladies.

Those lovely faces—some youthful and charming, some valiant and alluring, some intellectual and innocent—were truly a sight that never grew old. The lingering fragrance was even more intoxicating, making it hard to break free.

However...

Hexi also came over with great interest, which Su Ming hadn't expected.

It was like... you're discussing with your female companions how to have fun tonight, and then their guardian is watching you intently from the side...

Eek!—

Scary!

Yes.

Pipi Xi's pseudo-personality went offline the moment it landed, replaced by Hexi's consciousness!

This one was truly not to be messed with.

Forget it.

Let's just treat it as an indirect academic discussion.

Coincidentally, Zhixin brought up a key question:

"So, Su Ming, how did you solve the tricky issue of the collective unconscious dreams being both interconnected with, and yet independent from, individual dreams?"

Casting a glance towards the Starlight River outside, within it, Dream Bubbles formed and vanished, shifting in a kaleidoscope of colors.

"No need to solve it, Zhixin. I just utilized the nature of dreams... You know, dreams are an extremely personal thing."

Patting Zhixin on her little head, Hexi spoke up:

"Don't limit your thinking to the materialistic framework. In my opinion, it's Tomboy who's made you silly... What's truly important shouldn't be the editing technology for the collective unconscious dreams?"

Oh, right!

Every Dream Bubble in the Dream River has its own background. Some of the more abstract ones even have worldviews completely different from the current universe!

And yet, all those dreams are sharing the same collective unconscious database!

Eyes lighting up.

Zhixin immediately performed a cute head tilt for her master.

The reproach in Hexi's eyes instantly turned to doting affection.

Ah! As expected of my disciple!

So cute!

Zhixin, her plan successful, immediately looked at Su Ming.

Sighing, Su Ming said helplessly:

"This touches upon the realm of great authority. I'm trying to use the mindset of analyzing materialism to dissect the essence of dreams and deduce related formulas... But that takes time."

What are formulas for?

Lady Herta would say, aren't those things just the ladder for other mediocre people to chase after us?

Su Ming felt the same.

Things that were Self-evident to him required universalized formulas to be conveyed and understood by others through words.

Of course.

The process of Su Ming deducing formulas wasn't without benefit to himself.

For him, this was also a form of cultivation.

A process of re-examining his own path from another perspective.

"I have a question!" Yan hurriedly raised her hand, her big eyes sparkling. It was clear this question had been on her Mind for a long time.
