Old days in the box

Chapter 498 True and False, Like a Dream

"Then how should we communicate with Him? He seems restless." The elite deep diver continued to ask.

"He is still asleep. The boundless sea entangles everything with dreams. As long as the dreams continue, He will never wake up." Freya replied.

The Boundless Sea is the only area in the entire universe that borders on reality. Here, the material sea water and the spiritual subconscious are integrated into one, turning into the empty dream of the world that surrounds the human world in the courtyard.

In other words, this place is equivalent to the embodiment of dreams, and it is a place where the deepest dreams of all people are intertwined. It is precisely because dreams have the characteristic of being far-reaching that the boundless sea can extend an endless distance and differentiate into countless abysses.

This great abyss is the embodiment of the dream of the giant serpent Jörmungandr.

"We can't take the risk of waking Him up... I will dive down and negotiate with His consciousness myself, and you guys stay here and wait." Freya murmured for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"No, every time you lead the way, you put yourself in danger. You have already been lost once, and the Holy See cannot lose you again." But the surrounding warriors immediately expressed their disagreement, especially those experienced elite divers.

They all knew that the Ocean Goddess had died in a divine war with the Thousand Flowers Mother Goddess. In today's Old Church, that story had long been adapted into a more exaggerated version and circulated in the atrium for many years.

This time they could not allow the goddess to go to such a dangerous place alone again.

"Our loyalty to the old days is unshakable. Nothing can shake our spirit. Take us with you. Even if we can't help you, at least we can buy you time to escape when danger occurs."

Freya looked at this group of loyal deep-sea warriors. Some of them had been promoted in the past ten years, and some had followed her since the very beginning of Haiding Village. No matter which type they were, they all had absolute faith in her and the Old Days.

"Okay, although the Boundless Sea is the most primitive dream, it has always been empty and lonely. As long as we don't wander too far away, there shouldn't be any danger." Freya finally smiled and affirmed the determination of this group of warriors.

"Close your eyes and all your senses. You won't need your eyes down there."

The mighty power of the "Ocean" authority emitted a dazzling light on the ice, and under the guidance of Freya, it surged in all directions, completely engulfing all the deep divers and shark maniacs, and dragged all of their spirits under the ice, as if they had suddenly fallen into a bottomless black hole.

She concentrated all her energy on the giant creature below, and dived into his dream with thousands of troops.

As the spirit descends, all senses begin to be deprived, leaving only the most primitive "feeling".

They felt their perspective suddenly shrink further away, as if they had turned into a speck of dust in the world, so insignificant;

But they clearly did not use their eyes. Everything was just like a sixth sense, which came and went without knowing where it came from.

In this grand dream, the goddess Freya led them to the evening horizon. The sun was slowly setting and was gradually obscured by gray clouds.

And in this misty dream space, a terrifying giant snake was coiled in the sky.

The Devourer of Worlds, Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent!

In front of the huge monster that occupied the sky, Freya and the others seemed like just a handful of dust, looking at it from afar on the far side.

To them, a scale of the great snake was like a mountain, and to walk from one end to the other was like walking across the entire universe. But Freya started walking anyway, knowing that she was not alone.

The deep-diving army began to follow the giant snake's body towards its head. In this huge dream space, their speed was extremely slow, and it seemed that there was still an infinite distance to reach the other end in the sky.

They kept walking like this, and kept walking until time began to blur, and no one raised any objections.

Walking forever...

"Freya, report your progress."

Outside the boundless dream, a huge divine voice slowly came from beyond the sky, calling her name over and over again, but she had no way of hearing it.

This was the first time that the old divine guidance could not reach Freya's mind, because she had gone too far in the boundless dream, all her senses were rapidly moving away from her, and all that was left was the power of faith that continued to surge from all around.

——Back to the real boundless sea, this place is no longer the place that Freya thought it was.

In the deep, dark, boundless sea, countless whirlpools crisscross each other, each leading to abysses of different sizes.

But in these eddies, the ocean is no longer lonely and peaceful. Countless strange and indescribable lives fill this place, filling every abyss and wandering in every eddy.

Those soft-bodied nematodes that look like leeches, liquid luminous bodies that look like light spots, and unknown creatures with five eyes and six straws that look like wooden barrels, all live in every place here, and act according to their own primitive will.

The boundless sea has long been completely changed by the power of faith.

As a buffer zone bordering the void, when a large amount of faith power emerged in the void and officially entered the new era of heavenly principles, this place was inevitably affected in the same way.

As the authority of gods falls one after another, all living beings are gradually taking back the power that rightfully belongs to them. In this process, it is not only their souls that are strengthened, but also their consciousness.

Those gods born in the void, those embryos that embody the will of millions of people.

Because they live in the void and border the boundless sea, the dreams of all living beings begin to flow towards the boundless sea intentionally or unintentionally. With the power of faith, they are materialized here into subconscious lives of all sizes, occupying this originally dead area.

To a certain extent, these lives are also a kind of void creatures, but they are not separated from any god of faith, but come from the unconscious and subconscious of all living beings. They are the original race in the void.

They are like wolves in the wild that have not yet been domesticated, and they only act according to their most primitive instincts.

In the great abyss where Freya and the others were, hundreds of thousands of deep divers and shark madmen were floating quietly on the ice, closing their eyes and immersed in an endless dream, unable to break free.

Between Freya and her army, countless void creatures were surrounding them, forming a spectacular wave like a school of fish, constantly patrolling above the ice, emitting whispers condensed from the power of faith, continuing to soothe these intruders.

It turned out that from the moment they stepped into the boundless sea, everything they saw was an illusion. They were deceived and voluntarily threw their consciousness into the ice. Now they are trapped in an eternal empty dream and cannot extricate themselves.
