The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 17 Dreaming
"Meng Ji~"

Soon, Meng Ji, who had just disappeared out of thin air, reappeared and circled silently around Zhang San's feet. His little head kept rubbing against Zhang San's calves, making a humming sound.

"It's boring..."

Seeing the little guy who ignored her pestering Zhang San so much, Dugu Yan curled her lips sourly.

"Meng Ji is shy, just getting familiar with him will be fine."

Zhang San chuckled and said, "If Miss Dugu doesn't mind, can I call you Sister Yan?"

"Sister Yan?"

Dugu Yan looked at Zhang San, whose handsome little face had a polite and calm smile. He was obviously just a child, but he inexplicably gave her a kind of friendly feeling like an older brother next door.

Thinking about the other party's identity and strength, and then looking at his gentle and polite attitude, Dugu Yan just felt embarrassed.

In fact, if it were someone else, even if they were extremely talented, she would only think they were pretentious and disgusting.

But she still felt a little flattered to be treated politely by Zhang San, a genius who absolutely crushed her in every aspect.

It's like if a small cadre suddenly tries to get close to you, you will just think that he has ulterior motives, but if a big leader on TV suddenly tells you that the country needs you, it is enough to make most people feel like they would die for their friend.

This is the human psychology of admiring the strong, and even Dugu Yan, who has always been spoiled, arrogant and willful in the past, is no exception.

Thinking about how her grandfather would have to protect the other party in the future, Dugu Yan smiled: "Your Highness, just call me Yanzi. Of course, if you like, you can call me sister~"

"Your Highness, please excuse me."

Zhang San smiled and said, "Sister Yan, just call me by my name."

"Name? Zhang San? Who gave you this name? It's too careless..."

Dugu Yan chuckled. The name Zhang San was too inappropriate for the little guy in front of her, no matter from his talent or appearance.

"Your Highness Zhang San? Zhang San... I'd better call you Xiao San. After all, I'm older than you."

"But how did you cultivate? You became a great soul master at the age of six. I have a soul power of the seventh level, and I only reached the tenth level at the age of seven. You cultivated so fast, so you must have full soul power, right?"

"Well, you guessed it right. You're quite smart..."

"What's the big deal? With your cultivation speed, it would be strange if you didn't have full innate soul power, right? But this is also the first time I've seen full innate soul power..."

Dugu Yan is only thirteen years old this year. Her outgoing personality makes it easy for Zhang San to draw her closer. She surrounds him and asks him questions curiously.

Dugu Bo sat aside, watching the two children chatting happily.

He originally wanted to bring Zhang San and Dugu Yan together, but the age gap between them was too big, and he had no good solution. He could only let the two of them get to know each other first and wait until Zhang San was older.

But now it seems that the two children get along pretty well.

Although this relationship was obviously established by Zhang San, it is not a bad thing. It shows that as long as Zhang San wants, he is still able to control his precious granddaughter.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo looked at Zhang San.

At this time, Zhang San was supporting his chin, listening to Dugu Yan talk about his daily life in the college, like a patient listener, occasionally asking some questions out of curiosity, and sometimes showing agreement. Under Zhang San's guidance, Dugu Yan also completely opened up.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo looked relieved.

Dugu Yan's parents died early, and she was praised to the sky by her grandfather. Except for the little girl from the Ye family who could get along with her, she had no friends around her.

Now that the two of them can get along well, he feels very relieved.

Of course, he would be even more pleased if the two of them could end up together.

After dinner, Zhang San went to sleep in the guest room. Meng Ji came to Zhang San's pillow, scratched the corner of the quilt, crawled into the bed, fell into his arms, and made a snoring sound.

As if falling into darkness, Zhang San felt as if he had passed through a hazy curtain.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in a bright and colorful fantasy space.

"Meng Ji~"

There was a friction feeling at his feet. Zhang San lowered his head and rubbed Meng Ji's little head against his feet.

"Is this my... no, our dream space?"

Feeling the thoughts coming from his mind, Zhang San picked up Meng Ji with a look of surprise on his face.

Because the martial soul is an extension of the soul master's life, although Meng Ji exists independently, he is essentially the embodiment of a part of his soul and bloodline, and he prospers and suffers together with him.

So Meng Ji’s dream space is actually Zhang San’s dream space.

The dream world is a world composed of countless dream spaces, between reality and illusion.

The truth is that this world is made up of the power of people's spirit and soul.

The illusion lies in the fact that this world does not exist objectively in the form of planes or dimensions.

When Meng Ji is in the form of a magic weapon or possessed, Zhang San can enter here with his real body and travel freely between dreams.

And where he is after leaving the dream world depends on the owner of the dream - he will appear next to the owner of the dream!

This is so embarrassing...

If you accidentally wake up from someone's erotic dream, it will be hard to explain.

When Meng Ji is in an independent state, Zhang San can only enter here in the form of a spirit body, and he needs Meng Ji's guidance to come in. In other words, as long as Meng Ji leads, anyone can enter the dream space in the form of a spirit body.

And when the spiritual body enters the dream world, the external body will fall into a deep sleep.

In addition, you cannot fight in the dream world because the dream world is fragile. The slightest fluctuation will cause a collapse, causing the opponent to wake up from the dream.

Therefore, it seems that there are two main uses for the dream world. One is to avoid danger and escape through the dream world when encountering danger. The other is to utilize the dormant nature of the main body to practice spiritual and soul-related skills in the spiritual space.

Because the entire dream world is composed of spiritual power and soul power, a large amount of free spiritual power and soul power can make cultivation more effective.

Realizing this, Zhang San lifted Meng Ji up high and stared straight into those blue eyes.

"Where are you rolling your mother?"

"Meng Ji~"

The little guy licked the tip of his nose and looked very innocent.

"Let's go and take a look outside!"

Zhang San chuckled, and a portal like a vortex appeared in front of him. He took a step forward while holding Meng Ji.

The next moment, his figure appeared in a brilliant galaxy, composed of countless radiant and colorful balls of light. Each of them was an independent dream space, with different scenes, some sweet, some terrifying, and some boundless spring...

If Zhang San is possessed by a martial spirit, he will be able to directly determine the owner of each dream world, and because there is no real spatial distance in the dream world, he can also directly enter the dream of a specific person according to his personal wishes.

"Let's go and have a look in the senior's dream first."

Zhang San spoke softly, Meng Ji snored and opened a door.

Just as Zhang San was about to enter, ripples suddenly appeared on the door in front of him, and then it twisted and shattered.

"who?!"

In the bedroom, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, his emerald green eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his Titled Douluo-level perception quickly swept across an area within a kilometer radius, but he did not find anything wrong.

"it's me!"

Zhang San opened his eyes and shouted towards the yard.

"This freak..."

Dugu Bo's face turned dark, and he couldn't understand where Zhang San got these weird abilities from.

He had just fallen asleep when he suddenly felt as if something was quietly invading his mind.

No, not the spirit.

It should be a dream!
What horrified him was that even with his titled mental strength, he was unable to stop the other party's invasion!
This kid has such a method?
On the other side, Zhang San was lost in thought.

As he expected, the strength of the title level could indeed detect the invasion of dreams.

Of course, this is also because Meng Ji is too weak and the gap in their spiritual power is too big.

Entering the dream space again, Zhang San took another walk in Dugu Yan's dream.

Dugu Yan, who has not yet reached the level of a great soul master, was completely unaware of Zhang San's arrival. When Zhang San came in, her figure was floating in the center of the dream, and the surrounding scene kept changing.

Sometimes it transforms into a gorgeous starry sky, sometimes into a mysterious forest, and sometimes it takes the form of a young couple.

It is not difficult to tell from their appearance that they are Dugu Yan's parents.

"Mengji, Mengji~"

Little Mengji was held in Zhang San's arms, crying in a baby voice, with the markings on his forehead shining with dreamy colors. Zhang San felt as if some kind of power was bursting out from him, and then quietly shattered when it touched the two figures.

"I see, this is Meng Ji's ability."

Zhang San suddenly understood. Although the specific situation was not very clear, combined with the explanation given by the previous system, Meng Ji's ability seemed to involve fate and cause and effect.

To put it simply, it means: through the power of dreams, introduce logical dream scenes into the real future, and select this future when the real conditions are met!

For example, if Zhang San dreams of a bunch of messy things that he himself doesn’t know what they are, this is an illogical dream.

For example, Zhang San dreams that he wakes up and becomes a god at level 100. This is also impossible because the real conditions are not met.

But if Zhang San dreams that he picked up a treasure and was promoted three levels in a row, this is logical and meets the real conditions.

Even if the conditions are met, whether it can be achieved depends on Zhang San's personal strength.

For example, Meng Ji used his ability to control Dugu Yan's parents in her dream. This world does have the possibility of bringing the dead back to life, but Meng Ji's ability is insufficient, so he cannot do it.

But in general, although Mengji's ability has significant limitations, it is still very powerful!

After roughly figuring out his abilities, Zhang San left Dugu Yan's dream space, returned to his own dream, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the Taiyi Soul Art.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed quietly.

In the early morning, the bright sunlight pierced through the gaps in the curtains and streamed into the room.

Zhang San slowly opened his eyes, his dark eyes were bright and lively, without any sign of fatigue.

"It's worthy of being a technique that can cultivate the soul to the emperor level. It's really awesome..." Zhang San sighed in his heart.

During the whole night, he didn't even enter the door, but he was already able to use his mental power to scan the entire room.

Zhang San got up, drew back the curtains, opened the window, and took a deep breath of the morning air.

It would take about a month for Dugu Bo to recover from the poison, and four months before Tang San left for Notting City.

Next, it's time to remove the poison from Duguyan...

　Sorry for missing a few hundred words. Sitting for a long time causes severe pain near the coccyx. I went for a massage this afternoon. If anyone has a comfortable and economical chair that can provide better lumbar protection, please recommend it.
