I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 99 The Dream Weaver Platform (215)

[A sudden inspiration: When acting, there may be a flash of insight that allows one to foresee the approximate impact of one's own or another's actions. If it involves illegal activities, please keep it a secret from the Day Patrol or Night Patrol, and even if caught, do not implicate me.]

This skill was bestowed upon the Fire God by the title, and the description within it was also written by the Fire God.

After reading the description of this skill, Chen Yu found that the Fire God was somewhat humorous.

Then, Chen Yu immediately remembered the 920,000 yuan burden he was carrying, and his heart became anxious again.

Just as they were about to find a place to spend their money, they heard Sun Lei say, "Your 'Heart-Questioning Day' test has ended early, but the others' formal test is tomorrow. You can only leave after it ends tomorrow. By the way, after it ends, Chen Yu, your dream will be published as an example, and other star lords will also be able to study it. Are you willing?"

"It must be possible!"

After all, the purpose of this dream is to harvest the negative emotions of other people, and the wider it spreads, the better.

Sun Lei nodded and continued, "Then, Tianyuan has a regional lock, but Star Lords can ignore the regional lock. Since you have obtained the title of Fire Virtue Star Lord, you can also access the Dream Weaver's trading platform and buy goods there. By the way, do you have money? If not, I can lend you some, interest-free."

"No need, Mr. Sun! I know you're busy. I also need to go shopping. See you later!"

"Okay, okay, see you later."

Sun Lei smiled and saw Chen Yu off. Sensing something, he turned his head away.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in the second-floor reception room, Xu Zilong coldly watched the direction Chen Yu had left, like a hyena that had spotted its prey, radiating a chilling aura.

Noticing Sun Lei's gaze, Xu Zilong immediately lowered his head, the coldness in his eyes disappearing as he became docile again.

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes, knowing that this guy had murderous intent.

Chen Yu is under the watchful eye of the Fire God, so it's unlikely he would kill someone face-to-face.

But capitalists have many tricks up their sleeves, and as long as they can afford it, there are plenty of people willing to work for them, and plenty of ways to make people bow down.

Thinking of this, Sun Lei pondered for a moment and walked toward a burly man in the corner.

The other party was the same person who had been able to face the Fire Virtue Star Lord directly before. Although his cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining stage, his aura was perfect and his magical power was flawless. He was a first-rate talent.

As he approached, the other person seemed to have known he was coming, and greeted him with a respectful bow, saying, "Zhao Ziri, homeroom teacher of Class 6, Grade 11, Tianyuan No. 3 High School. Greetings, Senior Sun."

"You must be Zhao Ziri!" Sun Lei's eyes lit up, and his expression became even more gentle. "I've heard of you! Good, with you here, I feel relieved."

Sun Lei bowed again, smiled, and left, knowing that Chen Yu's safety in Tianyuan was no longer a concern.

On the other side, Chen Yu, holding the access token given to him by Sun Lei, was about to enter the trading platform with his phone in hand.

Just before they entered, Liu Qing and Ma Daqiang rushed over, excitedly asking, "Brother Chen, are you going to the trading platform? Is it the legendary Dream Weaver's trading platform?"

"Yes."

"Could you take us with you? We've heard it's really interesting there, and we'd like to go check it out."

"Sure, let's go together!"

Since it's a trading platform for dream weavers, it naturally won't be in reality, but in dreams.

Previously, due to the existence of regional locks, the entire trading platform had blocked Tianyuan cultivators.

However, thanks to the blessing of the Fire God, Chen Yu finally gained access and was able to enter and see what it was like there.

After the three of them fell into the dream, the token provided by Sun Lei was activated, and their souls were drawn into the dream and absorbed into the dream weaver's trading platform.

When Chen Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a huge hall.

The hall where he was located was full of ancient style, yet it also contained equipment such as hammers, sickles, lathes, and puppets, which complemented each other perfectly.

Looking out the windows of the hall, you can see a deep starry sky, where countless stars intertwine and create a mysterious star map.

"Is this the temple of the Fire God? How did I get here?"

"Since you were introduced here because of the blessing of the Fire God, this is naturally your starting point. Your companions have already entered the Dream Weaver Platform, so there's no need to worry."

Turning his head, Chen Yu saw a woman with a ponytail, wearing a red bodycon uniform, standing not far behind him, quietly explaining the situation to him.

Although the voice was pleasant to hear, the other person had a blue talisman pasted on their face, with flame-like symbols drawn on it, isolating some kind of power behind the talisman and making it seem like two different worlds inside and out.

The talisman was only a thin layer, but the face behind it was completely obscured, making people even more eager to know what the other person's true appearance was.

Facing the other party, Chen Yu bowed respectfully and then asked, "Senior, could you perhaps be the temple keeper of the Fire God?"

“That’s right.” A voice as melodious as a nightingale’s rang out, filled with the joy of being recognized. “You were drawn here by the Fire God, and you will bear his mark from now on. But don’t worry, the mark is just the Fire God’s attention; it won’t force you to believe in him. You can also choose to join another star lord later.” “Really no problem?”

"No, at most the Fire God will come to your dreams to settle scores with you, and cry in your ear from time to time."

"What era is this yandere from?!"

"As for the Star Lords, they all suffer from some serious illnesses. Their past memories trouble them, and the tides of time change them. Especially in this rapidly changing era, many Star Lords can't adapt and have fallen ill. But you don't need to worry too much about it, just live your life well. Come this way."

As we walked along the corridor, the temple keeper said, "This corridor tells the story of the Fire God's development. Everyone who is guided by the Fire God must walk through this corridor to learn about the Fire God's history. Maybe you can even recruit that person as your temple keeper. You can walk slowly; the Fire God also hopes that you can see more of what's here."

Looking at the contents on both sides of the corridor, Chen Yu discovered that Huo De Xing Jun was an extremely old star lord.

He appeared among humans in ancient times, and ancient murals record the history of his worship, revealing his extraordinary heritage.

The characteristics of the Fire Deity originally only included fire, and therefore it was associated with warmth, reproduction, and tyranny.

However, over time, it has also acquired related characteristics such as forging and cooking.

In modern times, it also includes attributes related to development, morality, factories, and the forging of magical artifacts, making it a star deity closely associated with industry.

In this light, the other party is actually quite suitable for Tianyuan's cultivators, since most of Tianyuan's important industries are related to industry.

Walking through the long corridor, Chen Yu felt he had gained a deeper understanding of Xingjun.

Standing in front of the elevator at the end of the corridor, the female temple keeper asked with a smile, "What are your thoughts after watching this?"

"It's a bit shocking."

"And what else? For example, what do you think the relationship between cultivators and star lords should be like?"

"Hmm... let's cooperate. The cultivators forge Star Lords, and the Star Lords, in turn, support all living beings. Is this an acceptable answer?"

"What you answer isn't important; I just want to confirm your thoughts. Come in."

Inviting Chen Yu into the brightly lit elevator, the elevator operator started the elevator.

The elevator was moving extremely fast, and after a few breaths, the view below was revealed outside the transparent elevator.

Chen Yu had expected to find himself in a bustling underground street, but to his surprise, the first thing he saw was a blue sky.

The azure sky unfolds before my eyes like a curtain, the wind pushes the white clouds slowly along, and the crescent-shaped beach shimmers with silvery light, making a pleasant rustling sound as the waves rhythmically lap against the shore.

The beach is lined with breathtaking coconut trees, and the villas hidden among them are like dazzling building blocks from a fairy tale. In the nearby food street, waitresses in swim trunks and white short-sleeved shirts deftly poke a hole in a coconut before handing it to tourists wearing sunglasses.

Recalling Tianyuan, Chen Yu noticed that the sky there was always gray. The pollution caused by mining spirit stones made the air extremely murky, and clothes hung out to dry would soon be stained with a layer of gray, making everything in Tianyuan seem like a yellowed old photograph, carrying an indelible sorrow.

Now, suddenly seeing such a bright and beautiful scene, the contrast left Chen Yu speechless for a moment.

Even though he knew this was a dream, the realism of the scene before him still excited him greatly, and he truly felt the power of the dream architects.

Seeing Chen Yu's performance, the elevator attendant covered her mouth and laughed, "This is what the Dream Maker Platform looks like. It is the result of hundreds of years of work by numerous dream makers. The rules of every item within it have been carefully adjusted. It is the second home of the dream makers. Welcome again to this place, Chen Yu, the novice dream maker."

As Chen Yu left the elevator, she handed him a travel guide and a membership card, then said gently, "I look forward to your future performance, Chen Yu. We are also saddened by the situation in Tianyuan, but many rules are the result of negotiations among the Star Lords, and even the Fire Star Lord cannot violate them. We hope that after you have seen a wider world, you will not forget your original aspirations and continue to build your home."

"Thank you."

After receiving the guide and membership card, Chen Yu looked outside excitedly.

This time, I'm going to have a blast.

But where are Liu Qing and Ma Daqiang?

Just as Chen Yu was about to contact the two, he turned his head and saw them sitting blankly on the beach, staring at the distant sea.

"The sea is so beautiful," Liu Qing said blankly.

“Yes,” Ma Daqiang replied, equally dazed.

"I have never seen anything so beautiful."

"Yes."

After silently watching the two for a while, Chen Yu turned his head away and ignored them.

Let's just pretend they never came.
