130: Dreamland, Dream Mirror

The Dust World Church continued to restore its productivity.

Bishop Ye Qing was very talented; even though he was just starting to manage over four billion people, he handled it with ease, cooperating with the strategic Zhixie bodies left by the Worldly Zhixie Corps.

Lin Chen didn't even need to show his face or do anything.

This was actually the normal course of development.

Gods only needed to be high above, accept faith, and manifest at the most critical moments; the development of the church was naturally handled by countless believers.

Believers needed gods, and gods needed believers.

But to some extent, believers needed gods as their backing more, so being in a weaker position, they naturally put more effort into evangelism and expanding the church.

At this time, Lin Chen was also not idle.

The Ye Huo World, a semi-enclosed great world.

An undeveloped great world was full of opportunities everywhere.

These opportunities were Lin Chen's goal.

Lin Chen followed his perception, crossing thousands of distances, and arrived at a Land of Dreams.

The Barren Earth Continent, one of the five main continents of the Ye Huo World.

This continent was home to the most ferocious races.

Over eighty percent of the land on the continent was barren and uninhabitable, and in the remaining twenty percent, dangerous forbidden zones could appear at any time.

The scarcity of resources forced the races born on the Barren Earth Continent to be ferocious, otherwise, they would have been completely devoured by other races long ago.

The Land of Dreams, one of the most dangerous perilous zones on the Barren Earth Continent.

Even Lower Gods entering it risked getting lost, as it contained power that could affect Lower Gods.

Lin Chen arrived at the edge of the Land of Dreams, and the perception calling him intensified significantly, meaning there was something very important to him within the Land of Dreams.

"My existence is rooted in Mirror Power, and dreams are also one of the forms that mirrors can manifest. Could it be that the Land of Dreams contains high-level Mirror Power, which is why it attracted me?"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

To ensure that his arrangements in the Ye Huo World would not be disrupted by his death.

Before entering the Land of Dreams, Lin Chen left behind a Mirror Seed. If anything unexpected happened to him after entering the Land of Dreams, this Mirror Seed would sprout, re-nurturing a new body, thereby achieving the effect of resurrection on the spot.

The Mirror Seed was a demigod-tier skill Lin Chen learned after his Mirror Master profession reached the demigod level. It was best used in conjunction with the Mirror Duplicate Body skill, making it the perfect choice for exploring ruins.

As Lin Chen's cultivation improved and he comprehended the Causality Dao, the Mirror Master profession, which was relatively strong in the early stages, now completely devolved into support, only useful for clearing small fry, and could no longer be a mainstream combat method.

After all, Mirror Master was merely a legendary profession, with an upper limit of Ninth Order Gods, and it was also limited by the cultivator's own cultivation. Currently, it could only use demigod-level skills, while Ascension to God-level skills and god-tier skills remained locked.

Professional inheritance had this drawback: it was too rigid and had strong cultivation requirements for the professional owner, a completely strong binding relationship.

Unless the profession's quality reached the mythical level, the professional restrictions could not be broken through.

The so-called mythical profession was essentially the simplified result of a belief god's divine authority.

Precisely because its essence was very high, mythical professions had few restrictions. As long as the professional inheritor had sufficient talent, everything in the mythical profession's skill library could be learned without hindrance.

For a human to awaken a mythical profession meant that he was highly compatible with the Dao contained within that mythical profession.

Therefore, developing a profession was inherently walking the path of comprehending the Dao, no different from others comprehending the Dao. In fact, because of the experience of predecessors, the path was smoother.

There were naturally disadvantages as well. That was, once the profession reached its upper limit, the path ahead was cut off, and significant effort was required to forge a new path.

Skipping classes felt good for a while, but when the knowledge was truly needed, the pain would follow.

Getting back to the main topic, Lin Chen stepped into the Land of Dreams.

"It appears to be Dream Power, but its essence is Mirror Power. It simulates Dream Power with countless mirror particles, interfering with the senses of living beings who enter, creating the illusion of them being lost. This is a very high-level application of Mirror Power."

Lin Chen sensed the Dream Power acting upon him. Thanks to the many passive skills brought by his Mirror Master profession, he immediately saw the essence of the Dream Power.

Activating Spiritual Stealth, Lin Chen directly ignored the surrounding Dream Power and proceeded along two highly directional paths: perception and causal connection.

As long as a thing established a connection with Lin Chen, Lin Chen would see a path to its location in his eyes. He only needed to follow the predetermined path to eventually reach his destination.

The Land of Dreams, rumored to be able to make even Lower Gods lost, was like level ground for Lin Chen. He steadfastly walked towards the core of the Land of Dreams to find the entity that was calling him.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen passed through the last illusion formed by Dream Power and entered a space filled with mirrors.

The mirror particles that made up the Dream Power in the Land of Dreams were all generated from countless mirrors here, and as time passed, the more mirror particles there were, the greater the scope and danger of the Land of Dreams would become.

Now, the real test had arrived.

Lin Chen needed to find the source of the mirrors from countless mirror surfaces and subdue it.

Otherwise, even if his current body was a Mirror Duplicate Body, he would be left in the mirror space, becoming a part of it.

Cause: I am a Mirror Duplicate Body, possessing a certain amount of Mirror Origin.

Process: The connection with the mirror source gradually deepens.

Result: See the mirror source, subdue the mirror source.

Before breaking into the mirror maze, Lin Chen anchored a segment of true Causality, most beneficial to him, among countless fruit seeds. This was like adding a buff to himself, reducing the difficulty of obtaining the mirror source.

The true Causality was gradually taking effect. The mirror source's attraction to Lin Chen became stronger, and Lin Chen also gained a vague perception of the mirror source's location.

Deepening the connection between two things that were already destined was merely a trivial application of Causality Power.

Stepping into the mirror maze, Lin Chen's body swayed for a moment, then completely fell into the world of mirrors. Up, down, and all four directions were mirrors. Countless Lin Chens with only a slight sense of presence existed in the mirrors, and those Lin Chens replicated by the mirrors traversed through countless mirror surfaces.

Such a scene could not affect Lin Chen's mind.

This trick was very effective against hotheads.

But it was useless against Lin Chen; what he saw in his eyes was reality.

Following his perception, Lin Chen continuously passed through mirrors, approaching the mirror source.

The mirror source did not intentionally make things difficult for Lin Chen; this mirror maze was merely the mirror source's instinctive self-protection, not an active act.

Passing through another mirror, Lin Chen saw the mirror source: a mirror floating in the air, filled with true Dream Power.

The illusion dream mirror, based on Dream Power and Mirror Power, was an Upper God artifact born from the world's origin.

In the ethereal, Lin Chen received information about the illusion dream mirror.

The illusion dream mirror instinctively approached Lin Chen, flying around him, wanting to get closer, but was blocked by the surrounding luck emanating from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen grabbed the wildly flying illusion dream mirror, and it immediately settled down, quietly held by him.

The illusion dream mirror, an Upper God artifact, had not yet given birth to a traditional artifact spirit. At most, it had nurtured an instinctive spirituality, which could react slightly to the outside world but did not possess intelligence.

For a divine artifact to give birth to an artifact spirit, not only did the artifact itself need spirituality, but its owner also had to continuously nourish it, enduring the erosion of time, before an artifact spirit with nascent intelligence could be born.

A divine artifact with an artifact spirit could not only amplify the artifact's power but also break through the barrier to its advancement and growth.

Just like Misha Venerable God's Doushen Arena, it possessed an artifact spirit and had the potential to advance and become a main god artifact.

Even a main god like Misha Venerable God only had one Doushen Arena with an artifact spirit, which showed that the number of divine artifacts with artifact spirits was not large.

And the illusion dream mirror possessing some spirituality already surpassed many divine artifacts, indicating its potential to nurture an artifact spirit.

"I didn't encounter a Causality-type divine artifact, but instead found a divine artifact that matched my profession, and it's even an Upper God artifact with spirituality. This opportunity is truly unpredictable."

Lin Chen sighed, then began to refine the illusion dream mirror.
