I can find treasures in my dreams.

Upon hearing Venerable Ice Soul Valata's words, Venerable Heavy Rock's face darkened considerably.

He had already deduced that the Nightmare Enemy was attempting to split the world's will within this civilization, but he felt it would take them a very long time to succeed.

After all, the Ice Soul Civilization has an extremely large population. Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for the Nightmare Enemy to succeed without controlling hundreds of billions of impoverished people.

But Valata never expected that the enemy would completely corrupt the souls of a group of Icefoxes in such a short time, creating a power of hatred within the world's will.

The enemy's ferocity far exceeded the Venerable One's expectations.

Chongyan's eyes flickered, and he probed again, "From what we can see now, the Ice Soul Civilization is facing a formidable opponent. What do you plan to do?"

The word "terrible" was deliberately emphasized.

Valata's lips moved, preparing to reply with, "Clean up the Giant Ice Fortress thoroughly."

The so-called "thorough cleanup," to put it bluntly, means executing anyone associated with the equal rights association.

Whether it's a suspect with solid evidence or someone who is only suspected of being related to the association but for whom no evidence can be found yet.

In short, it's better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go free!

Doing so would result in an astonishing number of executions, but it is the quickest way to eliminate the power of hatred.

Valata was about to speak when he suddenly realized, "No, Chongyan probably realized that the Nightmare enemies are too terrifying and is no longer willing to help the Ice Soul Civilization."

If the words "clean up the ice castle" were actually uttered, Chongyan would most likely find an excuse to leave immediately and would not waste any more time.

This is only a temporary solution; if the Nightmare Enemy has the ability to corrupt one giant ice fortress, it is certainly not difficult for them to corrupt other ice fortresses as well.

Countless thoughts flashed through Valata's mind, and in an instant, he came up with a new plan: "I plan to address the power of hatred from both internal and external perspectives at the same time."

Chongyan said "Oh," adopting a "you speak, I listen" attitude.

Varata spoke eloquently: "Starting from within means accelerating the pace of change, giving more benefits to the grassroots, and preventing more people from being misled by the nightmare enemy."

Chongyan asked a timely question: "Changing the distribution of benefits means reducing the benefits of other classes, which may provoke greater discontent. How do you plan to resolve this?"

Without hesitation, Varata said, "I plan to launch a pioneering war soon, to bring in fresh blood to the middle and upper levels, and take this opportunity to change the distribution of benefits."

The so-called "expansion war" refers to the large-scale exploitation of the resources of the original world through the initiation of war.

Given the perilous nature of primordial territories, the risk of defeat in such wars is quite high, and few civilized worlds would undertake such a campaign unless they were revered civilizations.

Chongyan nodded and said, "This is indeed a solution, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to implement. It may be difficult to complete without several years or even more than ten years."

Valata said resolutely, "No matter how difficult it is, we must do it. Although the Nightmare Enemy does threaten the Ice Soul Civilization, the Ice Soul Civilization can definitely use this opportunity to undergo a transformation and become stronger than before."

He also sensed that Shigeoki had basically approved of the plan and that his desire to leave immediately had significantly decreased.

Valata continued, "As for taking an external approach, the key is to stop the Nightmare Enemy from continuing to wreak havoc within Dream Island."

"I plan to personally travel to the Tianmeng Civilization in the neighboring world domain. This civilization has a very deep understanding of the dream world and has two Venerables who have mastered the laws of dreams."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I am prepared to offer a batch of precious treasures in exchange for the help of a Dream Venerable from the Tianmeng Civilization."

"By taking a two-pronged approach, both internally and externally, I believe that even if we cannot kill the Nightmare enemy, we can force it to flee Dream Island."

"At that time, the Ice Soul Civilization will build a solid defense line for Dream Island, so that the Nightmare Enemy can never enter again."

Chongyan's rock-like face revealed a hard smile: "Although the effect is a bit slow, I believe it is a solution that can completely solve the problem." This venerable figure, who resembled a stone giant, then stated: "As long as I am given sufficient reward, I am willing to help the Ice Soul Civilization fight against the Nightmare enemy."

Valata smiled somewhat reluctantly: "Of course."

He cursed inwardly, "Cunning."

He understood perfectly well that the new plan would take longer, meaning Chongyan would have to stay in the Ice Soul Civilization for a longer period of time, and the price he would have to pay would naturally be higher.

This isn't just a little more, it's several times more.

Valata even suspected that Chongyan's previous claims of being a "fearsome opponent" might actually be a ploy to gain more rewards.

Just as the two venerable ones were discussing...

Inside the grand hall of Dream Island.

The dream weaver, Aka, was still present at this dream conference that changed the course of the Ice Soul Civilization's history.

Although he was unaware that he was witnessing history.

Chairman Bik stood in the center of the crowd and delivered an important speech with great passion.

In his speech, he announced a series of significant initiatives.

"From now on, all association members must act more covertly in order to prevent a repeat of the tragedy of the thirteen committee members."

"I have been commissioned by the Supreme Council to select a group of qualified members from among the association members and teach them the art of dream communication."

"This secret technique allows one to enter a dream state within a second, transmit information to the target, and then immediately wake up."

"This way, everyone can easily contact each other during the day, without having to wait until they go to sleep, which greatly reduces the risk of exposure."

The crowd was in commotion again.

The so-called "Supreme Committee" is, to put it bluntly, Yang Fan himself.

As for the "Dream Communication Technique," it is actually a secret technique newly created by Yang Fan.

He planned to use the Ice Soul People as experimental subjects to gradually modify the Dream Communication Technique to its optimal state, and then teach it to the Azure People.

Chairman Bik continued, "The Supreme Council has also authorized me to form a Dream Action Team in this region."

"Members selected to join the action team will be given the opportunity to learn a secret technique called the Prayer Technique."

"I can tell you clearly here that the art of wishing is a very magical supernatural means."

"As individuals, our strength is insignificant and far from being able to contend with the Ice Fortress or the Holy Heaven Palace."

"But the Prayer Spell can gather the power of more people. As long as there are enough people, the Prayer Spell will become very powerful, thus enabling us to truly fight against the Ice Fortress or the Holy Heaven Palace."

The commotion among the crowd grew even greater.

Aka blurted out, "I want to learn the art of wishing! I want to join the action team!"

The so-called "prayer technique" is another "great gift" that Yang Fan prepared for the Ice Soul Venerable.

Just as Zhao Xiaoying said, Yang Fan had far too many hidden cards, far more than Varata could even imagine. (End of Chapter)
