Yunlong followed the Little Dream Lord to the depths of the Dream God's Palace. They traversed through space and landed on the beginning of staircases.
"Oh, Mighty God. We have arrived at the Dream God's residence." The Little Dream Lord fearfully bowed to Yunlong. "You only have to get on the Nine Dream Stairs and be led to Dream God's inner residence."
"Unfortunately, I didn't have the qualification to follow-!"
"Isn't this just Nine Heaven Stairs? Dream God, Be more original, for fuck sake..." Yunlong interrupted the panda's speech and commented while staring at the high stairs before his eyes.
Yunlong couldn't believe the low standard.
At least add something different!
Yunlong has climbed the Nine Heaven Staircases before. And he passed with flying colors.
"Follow me." Yunlong sighed helplessly.
"But I couldn't..." Little Dream Lord was troubled.
Yunlong raised his brows slightly, "Is that a tone I hear?"
"No! No, Mighty God! I will follow you everywhere." The panda panicked and profusely bowed to him.
They stepped onto the Nine Dream Stairs and were 'instantly' assaulted by weak mental attacks. Yunlong ignored them as they couldn't pierce his divine sense.
Little Dream Lord was baffled, thinking just how powerful Yunlong was.
They walked to the highest stages, but Yunlong stopped at 700 steps.
He stepped back and sensed the change in the surroundings, frowning because the space and time were 'actually' twisted here. He glanced at the Little Dream Lord and saw its ethereal form become more life-like.
Little Dream Lord doesn't seem to notice its change.
"Hmm..." Yunlong activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, observing the lines of dimension in the atmosphere. As he traversed deeper and deeper into this unknown God's territory, he could sense something profound.
It was related to his Divinity of Miracles.
Yes, Yunlong's Divinity is 'inherently' tied to it.
Yunlong learned the 'Concept of Dream' when traveling in the Dimensional Gap a few months back. At the time, he used the Three Paths he grasped and searched for a way back home.
What's Dream, huh?
The Dream happens when one wishes for something or a 'premonition' of an existing event. In short, Dreams are products of our imagination, while reality is the world as it exists around us.
However, Dreams also represent unconscious desires and wishes.
A will to believe a miracle would happen once.
"Hey, did Dream God create you? or you're just his pet?" Yunlong asked the panda.
Little Dream Lord staggered and answered softly, "The Dream God created me..."
"And one more creature oversees the Dream God's Palace just like me in the Trials."
Yunlong was enlightened as he finally discovered the answer.
The authority of the Dream God must be something related to manifestation.
Yes, Dream Manifestation!
Yunlong grabbed the Little Dream Lord by the neck and stepped forward, climbing the highest step of Nine Dream Stairs. They arrived in just a few seconds, seeing a tall yet mighty copper door before them.
"You must pour your Divine Power into the door." Little Dream Lord said calmly. "It was created for the Dream God's inheritors when they develop some of their divinity."
Yunlong placed his hand on the copper door and poured his Divine Power, but the latter 'literally' cracked into pieces.
"..." Little Dream Lord.
It stared at the piles of copper on the white-paved floor and sucked a cold breath.
Monster!
This guy is a monstrous entity!
"It definitely couldn't resist my Divine Power." Yunlong sucked a piece of copper into his hand and observed it.
[Analyzing...] Neo scanned the material in Yunlong's hand.
[This material is called Star Stones]
[It might look or feel like copper but comes from a different origin and grade. Star Stones has the property to absorb 'Divine Power' and record it for an extensive period]
[However, the one who assembles this Star Stones Door doesn't seem to possess high skill in craftsmanship. That person relying on pure casting]
"When you can alter reality, craftsmanship becomes child plays," Yunlong commented after listening to Neo's analysis.
[Host's reply is indeed logical] Neo responded monotonously.
Yunlong rubbed his chin and decided to take these Star Stones away. It could be beneficial when he made Divine Tool, considering its exceptional 'Divine Power' absorption and recording properties.
He stared at the path ahead and saw an open space with clouds everywhere.
"Let's go." Yunlong dragged the Little Dream Lord again.
They arrived at the space full of clouds and saw an animal swimming leisurely.
"Is that..."
"A snake?"
The animal in question is a python over fifteen meters long with pure silver scales. It has green eyes, seemingly content with its living conditions.
"Little Nightmare..." Little Dream Lord called out.
The python finally noticed Yunlong and the panda's presence, glancing at them.
"How did you enter this place, fat panda?" The python frowned at them.
Little Dream Lord was upset when the python called it a fat panda.
"Oh, Mighty God. If you want to proceed, you must beat this annoying snake first." A smirk appeared on the panda's face.
"This snake holds the key to enter the inner residence."
"Normally, you need to pass a test... But you don't seem to need one, no?"
Yunlong nodded and said, "Let's start."
"My time is limited."
"Hmph, how arrogant." The python snarled its tongue at Yunlong.
Little Dream Lord chuckled evilly, wanting to see its fellow compatriots get beaten to a pulp by Yunlong.
'Why must I suffer alone?' The panda thought resentfully.
'I'd bring you along in this wild ride. So we can suffer together, comrade!!'
Yunlong and the python have a brief stand-off.
The latter tried to pull Yunlong into the world of nightmares, but the situation reversed instantly.
"Using illusion on me... You're courting death." Yunlong's chuckle echoes.
The python freezes in the real world. Its green eyes dulled slightly.
One second passed, and the python's body was 'thoroughly' coated by cold sweat already.
Yunlong grabbed the python by the tail and dropped it over his shoulder, dragging the confused beast.
After getting the information from the python, Yunlong knew how to enter the Dream God's inner residence. He has to release his divinity, charging the whole place with enough energy to function.
BOOM!
Yunlong gathered Divine Power in his palm and condensed it into a small rotating star. Dropping the condensed Divine Power, Yunlong's eyes observed the surrounding space's change.
The clouds cleared out, revealing a spacious space with a floating dreamy-colored orb on an altar.
[Name: Unknown]
[Race: Unknown]
[Age: Unknown]
[Description: Divine Spark left behind by the Dream God]
"Dream God..." Little Dream Lord and Little Nightmare Lord bowed before the floating orb.
The floating orb released a dim light and shot out a thousand dots that formed a handsome-looking alien.
Dream God is a handsome guy. He's over 190 centimeters and has a green complexion/skin. He has jet-black eyes, sharp eyebrows, and a curved horn on the side of his head.
He wore a casual outfit, a gray T-shirt and black long pants.
Dream God looks more like a shut-in than a higher being. But then, you shouldn't judge people by their cover.
"How many years have passed since my descent?" Dream God opened his mouth slowly.
Little Dream Lord lowered its head and answered, "10,321 years."
"That long?" Dream God was surprised before noticing Yunlong's presence in the room.
His jet-black eyes widened as the person standing before him was a literal mass of energy he couldn't comprehend.
"My name is Xuan Ge, or what people in this galaxy know as the Dream Sovereign or Dream God."
"Who you might be, Fellow Daoist?" Dream God asked while cupping his hand.
Yunlong smiled at his greeting, "Yunlong, the God of Miracle."
"From Douluo Galaxy."
"..." Little Dream Lord was stunned.
"..." The same goes for the Little Nightmare.
Dream God's holographic body trembled as he stuttered in disbelief, "D-D-Douluo Galaxy!"
