PFRG: Chapter 215

Dreamweaver (1)

In a daze, Chi Ting could feel that he was in a very soft environment.

The first thing that came into view after opening his eyes was a blurry and hazy scene. Once he reacted a bit, he realized that he seemed to be wrapped in something.

Was this coming out of the instance?

But it was obvious that he didn’t return to the Sanctuary this time.

Chi Ting stretched out his hand and pulled hard.

There was no obstruction as imagined. The thin layer covering the outside dissipated lightly the moment it was touched.

The view in front of him suddenly became wider. Chi Ting realized that he was actually suspended in mid-air. He immediately adjusted his posture while falling. Finally, he landed steadily on the ground.

The moment it touched the ground, a faint airflow was shaken out of the surroundings. He looked up, and his pupils dilated slightly when he saw the shocking scene in front of him.

There was a giant tree densely interwoven with countless colorful optical fibers like conductive lines. On them hung ‘fruits’ emitting a brilliant light.

Under the thin skin, one could vaguely make out the figure of a human curled up inside, lying there peacefully and quietly. From a distance, it looked like a grand pregnancy.

The huge tree towered to the top as if they were inserted straight into the void at the top.

Under the flowing light, the constantly changing luster emanated from the roots and flowed to every corner of the tree in an instant.

The extremely strong visual effect was straightforward and shocking. It was obvious that Chi Ting, who was standing in front of this giant tree and was extremely small in comparison, was just one of the ‘fruits’ on it not long ago.

It could only be said that this was a very subtle feeling. Even Chi Ting could only vaguely remember the fragments from before he entered the ultimate instance to when he left just now. As for the many days spent in between, it was as if he really had a dream. He was in a daze and could only remember the vague outline.

The other people who were in the ‘fruit’ were obviously still immersed in the dream world that belonged to them.

So, this was the true appearance of the ultimate instance.

Everyone entered their own unique dream world. They were the designers behind this instance. The only way to leave this world where they were gods was to face their true selves.

Unfortunately, not everyone’s mind was so strong.

Chi Ting once entered Lou Yueren’s memory. The scene at this moment gradually began to overlap with the scenes he had seen before.

It was obvious that Lou Yueren had been here. This was indeed the world behind the ultimate instance.

The only thing that puzzled Chi Ting was that since the beginning of the first world, only Lou Yueren had ever entered this ultimate instance. Then why, on this existence that could be roughly called a ‘tree’, there were so many fruits?

He didn’t know whether the other people in Dawn had left the dream or not, so Chi Ting tried to look for a familiar figure. Unfortunately, the ‘tree’ was too lush and dense. Finally, he gave up the idea since it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

He could clearly remember that there was a row of identical doors standing side by side in that direction. Then in a short moment, only the last door was left without him noticing.

At this moment, it just stood there quietly. At this moment, he looked over, and a crack slowly opened up—as if inviting him to come.

In response, Chi Ting just smiled slightly. He took a slow step and walked over calmly.

It was pitch black behind the door. He pushed it in, and it made a slight creaking sound.

This was surprisingly down-to-earth.

However, the moment Chi Ting stepped through the door, the originally dark world seemed to have become completely bright.

Right opposite him, the chair that was originally facing away from him slowly turned around.

The slender man just sat there. He stared straight into Chi Ting’s eyes and smiled. “Welcome to the Dreamweaver Land. I finally waited for you, Ah Ting.”

This was undoubtedly a face that Chi Ting found very unfamiliar, but it had once appeared in Lou Yueren’s memories.

There was a brief silence before Chi Ting said, “No 7.”

“I thought you would call me Qi Xiu as before.” As he said this, No 7 stood up from the chair and walked steadily towards Chi Ting with a warm smile on his face. “Of course, if you like that face of mine more, I am willing to do it for you…”

“No need. No matter which face you have, it doesn’t meet my aesthetic standards.” After stating this, Chi Ting continued the conversation calmly. He looked steadily at the man who came to him and asked, “So, this is the core of this unlimited world. Is it true that one can be completely liberated by passing the trial of the ultimate instance?”

However, No 7 obviously didn’t want to skip this topic. “It isn’t about your aesthetics. Are you trying to say that if we just talk about looks, you still prefer Lou Yueren’s face? In fact, if you want, I can also get his face.”

Under such a gaze, Chi Ting couldn’t help laughing. Instead of answering, she answered, “Is this topic meaningful?”

“I think it is very meaningful,” No 7 said. However, in the end, he lowered his eyes at Chi Ting’s emotionless expression and didn’t continue. “Okay, to answer your previous question. As you can see, this is indeed the core of the unlimited world. However, whether you can completely leave the unlimited world or not depends on my mood.”

Chi Ting understood. “So Lou Yueren was an unlucky guy back then.”

No 7 didn’t comment on this assessment, but he was obviously unhappy with Chi Ting’s behavior of talking about Lou Yueren all the time. “Don’t mention those insignificant people. Ah Ting, I have been waiting for you here since I summoned you to this unlimited world. Now, I have finally waited for your arrival. What we need to talk about now is the future. Believe me, from the beginning to end, only I know what you need most.”

Chi Ting quickly caught the details in the words.

Therefore, his coming to the unlimited world was the work of this person from beginning to end.

Chi Ting recalled his experience in the Doomsday Tower Defense instance and couldn’t help laughing. “You’ve waited for so long. It sounds as if you really trust me. However, I’m afraid that what you originally waited for might not be the me that I am now.”

No 7 remained calm in the face of such teasing. “As long as you enter the final instance, the ordinary dream world won’t be able to trap you. Even if you were completely stuck in the Doomsday Defense Tower in the end, I would still bring you here. But what does it matter? The one I’ve been waiting for has always been you. Ah Ting, coming to my side has been your final destination from beginning to end.”

He slowly took two steps back and raised his arms slightly to show Chi Ting everything behind him. “In fact, you should’ve understood the moment you saw all of this., Only I can give you what you really want.”

Chi Ting slowly looked up. “Yes, I saw these when I came in.”

If the top of the giant tree outside was connected to the endless sky with no visible height, then what came into view through the door was a vast space with no visible boundaries.

One after another, virtual screens appeared in the air, layered and densely packed. In such a scene, there were countless ongoing instances, people coming and going in small worlds, and players who were either comfortable or anxious in every corner of the instance… Starting from the 1st World, it was gradually divided into the latest 13th World. The short fault on the side seemed to be incubating the future 14th World.

Looking slowly at countless screens one after another, no one knew that there were people ‘above’ in places unknown to them, staring down at them from above. In just a few seconds, many shots were completely cut off as the whole team in the instance was wiped out. Then new pictures started to light up, and a new instance was officially started.

On the dimming screen, there were figures struggling to survive, crying and struggling in extreme embarrassment.

In another corner, rows of incompletely built instances were scattered around, quietly waiting for the arrival of the first batch of players.

One side kept ending, and the other side kept staring.

Busy and busy, they weaved together the most complete dynamics in this unlimited world.

This made the smile of No 7, who stood with his back to the light, seem particularly glaring.

All the beams of light projected from those screens gradually enveloped him in a very faint outline. His figure looked more and more like he was immersed in darkness.

Chi Ting slowly lowered his eyes. As if to confirm it, he asked quietly, “So, what you mean is that you really want me to become the savior of this hellish world?”

“Of course, if you want.”

The corners of No 7’s mouth slowly curved into an overly distinct arc. He stared at Chi Ting and said in a bewitching tone, “Or let’s put it another way. Ah Ting, we can create a true ‘god’ in this world.”

Surprisingly, it was for such a crazy ambition.

Or rather, it was just for such a crazy ambition.

Chi Ting pondered on this sentence over and over in his mind. He felt the uncontrollable greed in No 7’s eyes gradually growing and suddenly laughed out loud. “No 7, or rather, I will call you Qi Xiu. Are you sure that according to your plan, it is ‘creating a god’ and not ‘killing a god’?”

Such laughter was like hearing a very funny joke. The surroundings fell into complete silence amidst such laughter.

No 7 spoke again, his tone sounding a bit more modest. “So, what is the difference between the two?”

Chi Ting paused for a few seconds before chuckling. “Strictly speaking, there seems to be no difference.”

He took a step forward, walking step by step to the chair that No 7 had just sat on. He reached out, pulled it over, and sat down like a host.

His slender left leg was leisurely raised in front of him. His fingers fell on his crossed leg. Once he spoke again, his tone was calm without any hint of urgency. “Then before we confirm the cooperation, let’s have a good chat about the affairs of this unlimited world.”
