Chapter 1138: Chapter 461: Dream Realm Shift_2
If it’s fast, 500 years, if it’s slow, 1000 years.
Anyway, when Alka learned this information, he found it quite ridiculous.
But on second thought, for creatures like the Dream Realm King, who have no concept of lifespan, it does seem like it’s not a long time at all.
It’s important to know that almost half of the Dream Kings have persisted since the Golden Era.
And the rebellion of the Divines in the Real World has not affected the dream world; all the Divines in the dream world fundamentally cannot cause destruction in this place.
After all, in the dream world, the ones truly in charge are these Dream Kings.
The so-called Divines are merely Divines from the Real World who happen to possess some qualities of the dream, and it is the Dream Kings who are willing to share these powers.
Although the dream world is connected to reality, they are also separated. Although there’s mutual influence, it’s not significant.
Whether time passes in the dream realm is also a question, and the only way Alka can feel the passage of time in the dream is through the rise and fall of the Dream Bubbles.
"I accept the meeting request. When will he arrive?"
"If you accept, he will come immediately."
So soon.
Nevertheless, Alka nodded.
After hearing Alka’s answer, the Shadow Robe nodded, and then its figure twisted like a fog, seemingly transmitting a message.
Soon, Alka felt a change outside.
His dream realm was within a Mirror, and the entrance was a massive Mirror Surface floating within the dream.
And at this moment, he felt a powerful creature waiting outside the Mirror, and it appeared suddenly.
"It seems the King has arrived." Saying this, Alka rose and floated towards the exit, with the Shadow Robe following closely.
Although there was the barrier of the Mirror, through the entrance, Alka had already seen this King.
And this King had also seen Alka through the Mirror.
Just like its name, it was a colossal serpent formed of white mist, the Dream Serpent Alka had seen before.
The moment Alka heard the name of this serpent, he couldn’t help but think of it in his mind.
At this moment, it was hovering over the entire dream, completely covering the surroundings, with only its neck and head hanging down from above.
Still with that ridiculously large size.
Alka blinked, now he seemed to see the scope of this creature’s power.
However, contrary to his thoughts, he couldn’t see through it.
Its power had already surpassed Alka’s visible limits, reaching the Ninth Stage. Thus, the strength of this Dream King in front of him was either at the Tenth Stage or had reached a god-like level.
No wonder it’s called the Serpent King, it truly fits.
Alka crossed the Mirror Surface and appeared in front of the massive serpent’s head.
He nodded slightly.
"Your growth has exceeded my expectations, and you have successfully become the king of the dream."
Hearing the voice lingering in his mind, Alka nodded and said, "Thank you for your help before, it’s been a long time."
"A long time? Didn’t we just meet?"
Hearing the doubtful voice ringing in his mind, Alka silently closed his mouth and nodded. Why was he trying to use human notions of time to converse with such mighty ancient beings?
The Council of Kings originated from the Golden Era, or perhaps even earlier.
And to be one of the chairpersons, he must have existed in the same epoch as the Divines and still exists today.
The three chairpersons have never been replaced.
In other words, the age of this Dream Serpent before him has already surpassed a certain concept.
A few years or decades are just the blink of an eye.
"So, what is the reason for your visit this time?" Alka had a very good impression of this Dream Serpent.
It could even be said that the reason why he began to stand firm and experienced rapid growth in strength was due to the help provided by this Dream Serpent.
"As a member of the Dream Kings, you and I are equals.
And as a Dream King, you need to place your capital on the opposite side of the area you are currently in."
Upon hearing these words, Alka furrowed his brows in thought. He was aware that Dream Kings had one fundamental duty, which was to align their dream realms with reality to stabilize real-world chaos.
Even his floating Mirror realm would have a stabilizing influence on reality.
It’s just that his domain is not fixed.
His current position was the World Scar, and from the words of this Dream Serpent before him, was he being asked to stabilize the chaos of the World Scar?
"Why me?" Alka asked, puzzled.
"My realm has only just begun, and my power is merely at Tier Six in reality.
Even if I placed my capital at the area corresponding to the World Scar, it would be difficult to stabilize such a chaotic region."
To put it simply, neither Alka nor his dream realm could significantly impact the chaos of the World Scar.
As Alka had already tried moving his dream realm over there, given that his dream realm was mobile.
And Sixth Stage among the Dream Realm King is only the starting point; there are many with far greater strength in the Council of Kings.
Their power, both personally and within their capitals, could stabilize the chaos of the World Scar better than his.
Upon hearing this question, the Dream Serpent slowly replied: "We cannot do it; our realms are already fixed. Otherwise, why would I have helped you become a Dream King and let you devour those remaining fragments?"
