Nightmares excel at creating dreams and are masters of illusion. This is their forte, their most powerful secret art.
And the highest realm of illusion is undoubtedly 'turning illusion into reality,' transforming the false into the real.
Perhaps only that one Nightmare has cultivated to this realm, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the Nightmare Queen.
However, this Nightmare Queen seems somewhat dissatisfied with her level of strength.
She still wants to pursue higher realms and become even stronger, and this Paradise World is likely her carefully laid plan.
"Nightmares have no hearts, that is their flaw. Nightmares can create beautiful dreams."
"But Nightmares cannot understand so-called 'emotions.' They are like mindless machines."
"Powerful races always have some flaws. This is the balance of the world, an iron law in the ninety million worlds."
The world will not sit idly by and watch a race develop and evolve to become too powerful. When the time comes to weaken them, it will not hesitate.
Even powerful creatures like dragons have many flaws.
For example, high consumption means a large food intake, difficult reproduction, and inability to branch out and multiply.
This is the widely circulated law of balance in the ninety million worlds, which establishes the strength and weakness of various races.
Nightmares are strong, but their lack of emotions naturally leads to developmental stagnation.
"This Nightmare Queen intends to find a heart for herself, a heart that can understand emotions."
"She plans to perfectly compensate for her race's flaws, thereby changing her situation."
"And this Paradise World is her creation, a genius plan."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said with a smile on her face, showing that she admired the Nightmare Queen's actions.
"To compensate for a race's flaws, one cannot be in a 'natural' world."
"Therefore, it must be a man-made world, a world without self-awareness is the most suitable."
"Otherwise, it will be interfered with by the world's consciousness, and the plan will fall short."
Jiang Wang said, instantly following the Soul-Devouring Succubus's train of thought.
Now that the goal has been established, the subsequent steps of the plan can be gradually laid out.
The Nightmare Queen established the plan and personally created this Paradise World.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
The Paradise World is very interesting. By simply mobilizing some power, one can keep playing in this world until they die.
This is an absolutely cheap form of entertainment, almost free.
But this place is actually a means for the Nightmare Queen's layout.
"The way she obtains hearts is also very clever."
"See all the dream creation shops in this Paradise World?"
"In short, her method is to eat or, rather, digest other people's dreams."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said, touching her chin, seeming unsure how to explain.
But Jiang Wang waved his hand and immediately understood her meaning.
"Simply put, it's like a computer developing artificial intelligence."
"Basically, it's about running a lot of data, then gradually analyzing and learning."
Jiang Wang quickly understood all of this with the mindset of a modern person.
A Nightmare without a heart is like a large computer. Countless people dream through the dream shops in Paradise, which is running data.
Like those AI drawing and AI writing novels, they are actually developed gradually by running data.
Set up algorithms, then feed all kinds of data to the AI, and slowly, the AI will learn and grow.
If you want to draw, then place all kinds of drawing pictures.
If you want articles and stories, then place all kinds of novels and articles.
Of course, there will be many classifications when divided specifically.
Like painting, it is divided into drawing people, drawing scenery, and so on.
And articles have so-called writing style settings. Different writing styles will definitely feed different AIs.
And this Nightmare Queen, she wants to obtain a human heart, which is a very difficult thing.
It requires massive amounts of data, and that data is also quite complex.
After all, the human heart is the most complex thing.
Moreover, the Nightmare Queen's mind is not like a computer, where she can set algorithms to accelerate.
She has to witness countless human hearts in the massive amount of dreams, and it will take a very long time to calculate and understand them.
"She was also seriously injured in the war back then, so it's not wrong to say this place is a coffin."
"After all, she's really dying, lingering here, just苟延残喘 (gǒu yán cán chuǎn - barely surviving)."
"Unless she can break through the flaws of her race, break through her own limitations, and enter a new realm."
"The legendary realm of illusion cultivation..."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus's eyes became strange.
There are many illusion-type secret arts in the ninety million worlds.
People from the Joyful Assembly must like this kind of secret art very much.
Turning illusion into reality is the highest realm. In the ninety million worlds, only a handful of people can reach this realm.
And this is the highest realm visible to the naked eye. Above this, there is a legendary realm that no one has ever reached.
The Soul-Devouring Succubus's ability is to absorb the souls of others and obtain all their power.
I'm afraid she also masters illusion-type power, which is why she can speak so casually.
"Turning the false into the real, above this, there is the realm of turning the real into the false."
"Can you understand my words? If the true and false can be switched at will, that is the true god of illusion."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said, looking at Jiang Wang and actually asking.
"I understand what you mean. For example, she was seriously injured, and she probably hasn't recovered to this day."
"But if she possesses that legendary realm and power, turning the real into the false."
"Then, she can recover from her injuries in just an instant."
Jiang Wang completely understood her meaning and also knew the terror of this true-false switching technique.
Can she break through to this realm after making up for the Nightmare race's flaws and obtaining a human heart?
Creating a Paradise World and building a coffin for herself, on the one hand, to heal her wounds, and on the other hand, to seek a breakthrough.
"So, what does the World Serpent want to do?"
Jiang Wang asked. After laying the groundwork for so long, it's time to talk about the World Serpent's core plan.
"Needless to say, of course, it's to take everything from this Nightmare Queen."
"She's probably still seriously injured, right? Taking advantage of her illness to kill her, and then devour her power."
"Even if the strength of a seventh-layer expert is severely damaged, obtaining this power is enough to break through."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said, revealing a smug smile.
Chapter 715: Seeing Through
What is the Nightmare Queen's strength? At least the seventh layer, and this seventh layer is a watershed.
After breaking through the seventh layer, one will enter an unbelievable new realm.
The seventh layer of strength is a temptation for the fifth-layer Shuten-dōji.
After obtaining this part of the power, he can reach a new realm.
Moreover, this person's strength is probably even higher than that, and may have even reached the eighth layer.
This is a god-like powerful existence. This time, the World Serpent wants to become a god.
The World Serpent possesses the secret art of devouring the origin of the world, and there are many of them, so it must also have the secret art of devouring other people's power.
Not to mention that this god is still the seriously injured type.
"Find out the formation eye of the Paradise World, see through this series of falsehoods, and find the place where that guy is lying dead."
"And Shuten-dōji also controls the power of the abyss, so it's too easy to weaken others."
"How can a god who is already injured withstand the endless abyss erosion? He can only be swallowed by the snake obediently."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said, and with this, she has fully revealed the World Serpent's plan.
"I see, they are coveting this power, the treasure of the gods."
"They are really courting death. Haven't they considered the possibility of failure?"
"That is a powerful existence like a god. Isn't this purely seeking death?"
Jiang Wang sneered at the World Serpent's actions, thinking that this Shuten-dōji is simply a fool.
Such a risky plan, whether it succeeds or not, will probably not end well.
"This god is probably seriously injured and unconscious, right?"
"If she were really conscious, she wouldn't ignore this Paradise World."
"How chaotic is this place? This is her home, isn't she managing it?"
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said, feeling that the so-called "worried" words Jiang Wang said were actually meaningless.
And Jiang Wang recalled what happened not long ago in the arena.
He made a request, directly a multi-person melee, one person fighting ninety-nine people.
