Chapter 635 The Dream Great Wall (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

Ten years later.

Nora year 3460.

The Dream Great Wall project has been initially completed.

The docking ceremony between [Mechanical Sky Network] and [All Beings Dream Network] has begun.

The gray-white mechanical being stood atop the Tower of Babel, the highest point in Nora.

Centered on him, Stella, the Deep Space Ronin, and other powerful figures from the mechanical school controlled 10086 silver-white, butterfly-shaped mechanical creations that flew up from all over Nora, turning into thousands of white lights and disappearing without a trace. These were the [Dream Butterflies].

Their raw materials are biological materials from the Nightmare Overlord, and some core components are even taken from the Nightmare Monarch. Therefore, although they may seem insignificant, their cost is extremely high. The materials from tens of thousands of Dream Butterflies are enough to forge more than ten treasures.

Around the continent of Solon.

Dozens of level ten powerhouses appeared. The Dream Wall Project was of paramount importance and could not be lost. Li Wei personally guarded this place, standing tall in the high sky.

After thousands of years of development, the Mechanic School has long since become a distinct path. Today, it is defined by the Council as a separate extraordinary path, namely the [Mechanic] pathway.

Level 9 Mechanic, also known as the "Skynet Mechanic".

At this level, one can create their own SkyNet or join someone else's SkyNet to form a combined cluster SkyNet, somewhat similar to the Wizard Tower system.

Currently, Herman is the master of Nora Skynet.

Because of his previous experience of cultivating and gaining insights under different time flows in the Skynet universe, coupled with the support of the Mechanical Sage, he made rapid progress.

Currently at level nine, mid-stage.

Madison was able to quickly reach the level of a god-level mechanic because of Sauron's assistance and the inheritance of Skynet's legacy. However, in this universe, the foundation of the mechanical school is like a blank sheet of paper. Everything needs to start from scratch, which is the biggest challenge.

Fortunately, the mechanical school has weathered its most difficult years. With thousands of years of dedicated support from Parliament, the group of mechanics has grown increasingly stronger.

The Ancient Dragon Continent, in particular, can be considered its cradle.

Nora currently has more than ten Skynet mechanics.

The Ancient Dragon Continent occupies half of the land.

After the Nightmare War a thousand years ago, Deep Space Ronin, Stella, Enia, and others successively reached the ninth level and devoted themselves to the Dream Wall Project.

And then there's El, the son of Aenia, who, relying on his rare mechanical talent, also became a peak level eight mechanic, just one step away from level nine.

This is just the beginning.

Because of the strength and coolness of the Mechanic, who can single-handedly form an army, the current popularity of signing up is no less than that of the traditional elemental factions. However, the school's foundation is still shallow, and there are not many strong individuals.

If things continue at the current pace, one day, all of Nora, and indeed this entire dark universe, will be highly mechanized, intertwined with magic.

The Nora civilization empire, a perfect blend of technology and magic, was formed. Of course, Nora would not see this scene in its first ten thousand years.

According to Herman's calculations, by the end of Nora's 10th millennium, if civilization had not been swallowed up by the Colossi, he was confident that he could establish a complete Nora Skynet.

The 20th millennium should be able to cover the panplanetary plane.

The 30th millennium is expected to spread to multiple dimensions.

In the 40th millennium, an extremely complex Skynet system, involving all walks of life and all aspects, can bring this universe into a new era.

Of course, these are just hypothetical scenarios. The first phase of Nora Skynet already requires the strength of a god-level mechanic; the third phase of Skynet, at the multi-dimensional level, requires the strength of a supreme-level mechanic. And all of this cannot avoid the presence of one being:

The Dark Land.

As the master of this universe.

When the Skynet becomes powerful enough to unify the universe, it can't just sit idly by. Perhaps when Herman reaches level ten, he'll face the same predicament as the Qi Cult.

That is the problem of incompatibility between the extraordinary path and the universe.

God-level is possible, but supreme is hopeless.

Ultimately, we still have to move and find a suitable universe.

Back in Sky City.

The daydreamer chanted a spell.

The Dream Cyclone spins at high speed, distorting space and time. It opens up a passage between reality and dreams, constructing a complex and intricate dream network system among all living beings.

After devouring billions of nightmare creatures, this treasure has shown a tendency to evolve into a cosmic-level treasure, but it still lacks a breakthrough opportunity.

at the same time.

The continent of Nora 136000 began to tremble.

At the heart of the continent, towering, silvery-white pillars burst forth from the earth, piercing the heavens. They stand like white towers across the Nora land.

Some small continents may have only one, but some large ones have as many as a hundred, with spiral blades resembling those of a wind turbine at the end of the giant pillars.

The frequency of these leaves' rotation is exactly the same as that of the Dream Cycle.

They are the [Dream Windmills].

Developed jointly by the Mechanical School, the Dream School, and the powerful members of the High Council, this treasure has a total of eight million roots throughout Nora.

It basically covers most of the prosperous areas.

The three components, 【Dream Windmill】, 【Dream Butterfly】, and 【Dream Cyclone】, responded simultaneously, and an invisible wave began to spread throughout Nora, quickly sweeping across the region.

Seven days later.

An invisible barrier seemed to have appeared above Nora's continent.

This is the [Dream Field].

Like a crystal wall, it protects the settlements of civilizations. It cannot prevent physical intrusion, but it can block spiritual penetration. If a nightmare creature attempts to invade the force field, it will activate the firewall of the Dream Wall.

Skynet will detect the enemy invasion immediately and dispatch Dream Warriors stationed on various continents to enter the dream world of the incident location through the Great Wall system.

In this way, when Dream Cycle is too busy, mechanical creations can serve as a supplement, reducing Nora's losses.

After the war ends, the corpses of nightmare creatures can be used as nourishment for the Dream Cycle, further promoting the development of this treasure.

Once the Great Wall system is installed and debugged.

The members of the Supreme Council breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days ago, in order to attract the attention of the nightmares and prevent them from causing trouble, the Underworld Ancestor led a group of Underworld Emperors to harass the nightmare army and hold them back.

Nora also sent some people.

at this time.

The Dark Land.

While fighting against the Lord of Terror, the Ancestor of the Underworld led his army in retreat.

"Mission accomplished. All troops withdraw to Nora territory!"

Next, it will be time to test the feasibility of the Dream Wall system. If it works, the Underworld can temporarily use Nora as its base to reduce battle casualties.

In the past few days, in order to restrain Nightmare, one of the Underworld Emperors in the Underworld has unfortunately died, while the Void Emperor and a barbarian in Nora's territory have been seriously injured.

The Underworld Emperors are all carefully selected elites. Losing one is equivalent to losing several level 10 members of other behemoths. The Underworld Ancestor did his best to preserve their true spirits.

In this way, it can be reincarnated and reborn.

However, it is of no use in the current stage of the war.

Seeing the Underworld retreat, the Lord of Terror pressed his advantage, leading four hundred monarchs in an attempt to hold back the Underworld, until a figure appeared ahead.

Clad in black armor, he stood behind the retreating army of the underworld, facing four hundred monarchs alone without fear, and instead raised the greatsword in his hand!

"I've come to meet this so-called Chaos Emperor!"

With the Lord of Terror by his side, the Monarch of Calamity exuded an aura that was almost supreme, and many calamities appeared around him, terrifying and ominous.

"The Hand of Cataclysm!"

It pressed down into the void, and spacetime began to distort. Faced with the immense power to alter time, ordinary level ten beings were completely powerless to resist, and many monarchs frantically retreated, fearing being caught in the crossfire.

But then a sword aura, swirling with six colors—red, gold, black, white, blue, and illusion—swirled across the starry sky for 1.8 million miles, sweeping away all obstacles in its path!

The colossal hand of calamity was utterly destroyed before the sword energy.

The Disaster Monarch's expression changed. This was a full-force attack, yet it didn't even have the right to stop Li Wei. This person truly possesses a supreme level of skill.

The aftershocks of the sword energy continued unabated, locking onto him.

"The Corpse of the Dead!"

In the void, a death power, vast and distinct from that of the Underworld Emperor, emerged, conjuring a gigantic burial complex spanning millions of miles, from which hundreds of millions of the dead crawled out.

Humans, alien races, extraordinary creatures... even the corpses of 108 level-nine beings and 8 mythical creatures, exuding overwhelming death aura and dragon might.

Li Wei's eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent surfaced.

This old man killed so many legendary and mythical creatures by himself and turned them into puppets like corpse demons. Many of them were species that had disappeared from multiple dimensions.

The leading mythical creature was none other than a colossal dragon, a corpse demon covered in rot and maggots, burning with eerie crimson flames, and topped with a crown shaped like a red lotus.

Even in death, he retains the majesty of a king.

"Crimson Dragon?! You've already chosen your own death!"

The Death Monarch sneered.

"You didn't expect that, did you? I've collected quite a few of your knights' ancestors over countless ages... This Crimson Lotus Dragon should also be the source of your bloodline, right?"

The four Nightmare Emperors each possess unique skills.

The Lost Monarch's Endless Labyrinth, the Ignorant Monarch's Land of Folly, the Calamity Monarch's World of Calamity, and its Burial Grounds.

The Burial Grounds can be seen as another version of hell. The creatures suppressed here will become servants of death out of fear, similar to ghouls. As long as the Lord of Death is alive, they can be reborn countless times in the great tomb, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, some say that the low-profile Death Lord is the strongest of the Four Emperors.

It relies on this kind of abnormal ability.

Li Wei's sword energy tore through the tomb, instantly killing billions of corpse demons. Many legendary creatures also exploded, but the combined power of the Eight Mythical Figures still managed to block his attack.

The Death Monarch's face darkened, and he thought to himself:

"Indeed very strong."

The Disaster Monarch breathed a sigh of relief.

It took the combined efforts of the two emperors to barely hold off this person.

Li Wei is undoubtedly the strongest fighter.

It silently retreated behind the Lord of Terror.

"My lord, this man is indeed quite capable."

The Lord of Terror stared at Li Wei with his bloodshot eyes, but did not intervene.

Li Wei did not continue his attack.

Now is not the time for the final battle. In that sword strike just now, although he seemed to be full of anger, he did not actually use his full strength; it was only about 70% of his power.

Then, the nightmare army quickly dispersed.

Back at the military camp, the Disaster Monarch asked:

"My lord, why don't we charge forward in one fell swoop? If we drag this out any longer, this person will truly become supreme, and we will have no chance."

Lord of Terror's Way:

"Our advantage does not lie in direct combat. In terms of high-level level 10 combat power, the Underworld and Nora joining forces make our chances of victory extremely slim. Our way out is to rely on Nightmare Invasion to dismantle Nora from the inside and from the bottom up."

Level 10 is the ceiling of civilization.

But the foundation of civilization is the masses of people.

In terms of low- to mid-level combat strength, the Underworld and Nora combined are still inferior to Nightmare. Suicide attacks remain the best way to wear down Nora's strength.

Gazing upon the Nightmare Will battling the Mother River.

The Lord of Terror felt somewhat bewildered.

Without external intervention, Nightmare might not win this battle.

When the Nora, led by the Chaos Emperor, began their counter-invasion of the Nightmares, their strength had already surpassed that of the Nightmares... they just hadn't realized it yet.

……

The continent of Solon.

The figures of the Underworld Emperor and his army descended.

Li Wei looked at the approaching Nether Ancestor and said:

"Thank you, ma'am."

The Ancestor of the Underworld said:

"Is the Dream Great Wall really completed?"

Li Wei said:

"Well, now it's time for the real battle test. If we can significantly reduce Nora's casualties, then we can launch a full-scale counterattack without any worries."

The Supreme Council has been slow to launch an attack.

We've been waiting for this day.

Nightmares can disregard their people.

Nora won't do; it can't withstand the endless drain of a mega-war.

In this life-or-death battle for civilization, Li Wei not only has to win, but also win beautifully, minimizing casualties, so that he can be worthy of those beings who have come to Nora for refuge!

At the same time, after defeating the Nightmare, Nora will be better able to deal with the Abyss and the Astral Plane, who are trying to take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, too much will be consumed at the bottom level, and the civilization will break down.

Nora's fate was still destruction.

The Underworld Ancestor was amazed by Nora's efficiency.

She recalled what Soren had said: "Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day." Compared to the colossal world teeming with immortal beings, these short-lived beings, who lived like mayflies, accomplished far more in their limited time.

"Metabolism".

The Ancestor of the Underworld murmured to himself, his mind alert.

Arrogance, outdatedness, ego, apathy... these are common ailments of the behemoth, and the underworld suffers from them too. Perhaps only by learning from Nora can one avoid following in the footsteps of the nightmare.

……

Nora was growing stronger than anyone could see.

Nightmare is caught in a dilemma and can only intensify its invasion efforts.

The Nightmare Plague spread across more than 30,000 new continents, unleashing countless nightmare creatures, but the Nightmare Plague was shocked to discover that this time the situation was somewhat different.

More than half of the troops were discovered by Nora's powerful warriors and mechanical creations after infiltrating the Dream Realm of Living Beings, and were subsequently surrounded and wiped out, never to return.

Ten percent of their forces were wiped out by that damned spinning top, which grew even stronger and could instantly split into millions of clones to fight simultaneously, like a meat grinder.

Ten percent of the troops perished from some unknown psychoactive toxin, possibly Nora's latest plague and poison targeting nightmares. This virus has little effect on normal living beings and can remain dormant within them for a long time. Once a nightmare creature invades the dream world, it becomes active and begins to infect a large area.

Therefore, only 30% of the forces successfully infiltrated, but Nora and the Underworld were able to handle the situation normally, unlike before when they were in a state of panic.

The final result is:

Nightmare's large-scale invasion this time yielded less results than before. The destruction of only 36 new continents is considered a "minor injury" for Nora's scale.

On the contrary, he was haunted by nightmares, losing too many troops. If before it was killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own, then this time it was killing a thousand enemies while losing eight thousand of his own.

This prompted the Lord of Terror to immediately halt the intrusion.

It asked:

"What happened? How could the losses be so great?"

The Disaster Monarch said with a grim expression:

"According to our investigation, Nora's Dream Wall project may have been completed, intercepting more than half of our forces... The military operations of recent years may have been a cover for this operation. My lord, delay will only lead to unforeseen circumstances; let's launch the final offensive!"

……

Time flies.

Nightmare World.

The Twilight Legion swept through Nightmare's homeland with unstoppable momentum, and during this time, the Nightmare military on the front lines did not send anyone to defend their home.

Instead, they continue to bring powerful individuals who are hiding in the Nightmare World to avoid conscription to the Nora battlefield, seemingly unconcerned that their home has been stolen.

Meanwhile, four hundred monarchs, led by the Lord of Terror, appeared to be preparing for some kind of ritual. Intelligence reached Nora, and the High Council urgently discussed countermeasures.

The final decision was made to launch a counterattack in the year 3500 of the Nora calendar. No matter what tricks the Nightmare played, Nora was ready and awaited the full force of the attack!

……

Ten years later.

The Dark Land.

A golden light pierced through the void and shot into the Ancient Dragon Continent.

"Master, I'm back!"

A handsome little boy, clad in golden armor and wielding a golden longsword, arrives at the Ancient Banyan Wonderland and meets Li Wei, who is teaching the three siblings combat skills.

Li Wei smiled with satisfaction.

"Are you alright?"

Lyon patted his chest and said:

"I'm perfectly fine. I was just trapped in the Dark Land for a long time, as if I were in a strange dream from which I couldn't wake up. Fortunately, I was awakened by the deepest hunger. I fought the Dark Land alone with my sword for three days and three nights and successfully survived the calamity."

Li Wei's heart stirred.

The Dark Lands used the same method to deal with Leon as they did themselves, showing that even as the ruler of the universe, the means they could use were limited.

Li Wei asked:

"How strong are you now? We're about to have a major battle with Nightmare."

Lyon said:

"It should be comparable to the mid-stage of level 10... I'm not sure. My path is to become the [Spirit Master], capable of devouring and absorbing souls."

Furthermore, a "spiritual river" is nurtured within the body, which can give birth to new true spirits and send them into the cycle of reincarnation, thus initiating rebirth.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei remained silent for a long time.

Lyon asked:

"Master, is there a problem with this?"

Li Wei shook his head.

"No problem, but this will inevitably conflict with your mother's path. Have you thought about how to resolve this? It may be difficult for you to attain the highest position."

The Mother River is no pushover either.

These primordial beings gave birth to powerful creatures, supported forces, waged wars... all these actions were for their own development and growth.

Lyon said:

"I've thought about it, and I've told my mother. I won't achieve supreme power in the dark universe. I will seek out universes where rules are lacking and forge my own path."

Li Weidao:

"Okay, good that you know. The universe is too small for people like us. The infinitely possible multiverse is our true home."

Lyon said:

"I chose this path because I believed my master had the ability to take me away. I don't want to live in my mother's shadow forever; I want to create my own world."

Li Wei patted Leon on the shoulder and said:

"Good, that's ambitious. Focus on consolidating your cultivation; you can't miss the feast to come. This time, let's bury the nightmare completely!"

……

Thirty years later.

Nora year 3500.

In the ancient banyan fairyland, Li Wei opened his eyes.

His aura rose to another level.

The Crimson Emperor, the Gold Emperor, and the Black Emperor all condensed five stars, while the White Emperor, the Azure Emperor, and the Nightmare Emperor condensed four stars. All six dimensions have entered the mid-stage of level ten.

With 27 dimensional stars bombarding us, who can stop us?

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————————

Legendary Class: Chaos Emperor!

Knight Class: Riding Six Dragons!

Composite Profession: In the process of merging (current progress 30%)

……

"The integration progress has increased by 10 percentage points."

Li Wei called Qi Bao over.

"Come, take this sword!"

He unleashed a sword strike with only three-tenths of his full power.

Sweating profusely, Shippo used his Seven Calamities Domain to resist.

With a loud bang, the little guy was blasted away and landed some distance away.

"Master, you're too strong, I can't stop you!"

Qibao flew over, looking somewhat aggrieved.

The owner always uses it to practice moves.

It was merely a supreme treasure, yet it bore a weight that life could not bear.

"Haha, this is the last time."

Li Wei put the seven treasures away.

He carefully examined all his divine weapons, wizard towers, magic arrays, and other means before arriving at the continent of Solon, where the round table was already full of people.

As of now, the number of Nora's level 10 powerhouses has expanded to 72.

In the past few hundred years, four more level 10 powerhouses have emerged.

First, the bronze giants of the continent of giants welcomed their king.

【Holy Lord of the Bronze Throne, Roker】.

He is a veteran powerhouse among the giants. With the treasure [Red Copper Armor] bestowed upon him in advance by the council as his trump card, he successfully became the 8th level ten giant among the giants.

This is the end.

The eight major giant races each have their own kings guarding their domains, while some relatively weaker races, such as the Darkin Giants and the Light Armored Giants, still need time to develop. In terms of the number of level ten races, the giants surpass the barbarians and are second only to the wizard civilization.

Another level 10 is the leader of the Green Scale Clan.

It had been famous for a long time. When it met Li Wei more than two thousand years ago, it was already a veteran mid-level level nine powerhouse. Not long after joining Nora, it entered the late level.

After numerous wars, its strength has significantly improved. After the Seven-Colored Scale Clan reunited, in order to enhance their status and influence, the seven clans joined forces to support the Star Ripper.

Before it underwent its tribulation, the High Council gifted it a supreme treasure, left behind by a legendary wizard who had passed away 30,000 years ago, which was later reforged.

It is named [Earth Emperor Dragon Scale Armor].

Ultimately, it lived up to expectations and broke the curse that the Seven-Colored Scale Clan had no level ten cultivators. Although it could not be compared to the Seven-Colored Scale Lord who was once at level ten in the Chaos Dao.

But it remains an important part of the Lin tribe's civilization.

This means that the Scaled Race can reach level ten without following the path of chaos. As a race with immense potential, it is possible that they will give birth to a Supreme Being in the future.

The Seven-Colored Scale Clan truly became the Nora Clan.

There are also two level 10 wizards, both of whom are legendary wizards.

One of them is Jasmine, a member of the Twilight Squad. According to Li Wei's final confirmation, she is not a reincarnation of a legend, but she is diligent in her cultivation and has exceptional talent. In addition, she did not get distracted by anything else, so she became the earliest legend.

Its legendary class is the Wind Speaker, its demiplane is the Harvest Realm, and its legendary title is "Sage who communicates with the autumn wind, Queen who rules over the harvest."

The so-called "golden wind" refers to the autumn wind.

Her legendary career was also related to harvest.

His creation, "The Golden Hand of Jasmine," can rapidly promote plant development, producing an effect similar to "flowers blooming in an instant," which involves the principles of time.

Therefore, her abilities lean towards farming and research. In terms of combat alone, she is not as good as the legendary professions of [Wind Singer] and [Wind Poet].

Li Wei appointed Ms. Jin Feng and Rowling as Nora's "Minister of Agriculture" and the managers of the various resource areas in the Dark Tower.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and logistics is also a crucial part of warfare.

Duke Rumon and the Ice Sea Witch are both at the peak of the ninth ring. One cultivates both earth and fire and also works as a knight, while the other cultivates both ice and water. Therefore, their progress after the ninth ring is not as good as that of Lady Jinfeng, but once they become legendary, they will be extraordinary.

In addition, those beings who were once ranked alongside Li Wei as supernovas, such as [Thunder of Annihilation], [Sword of Light], and [Hand of the God of Fire], were all senior members of the ninth ring.

They are also the seeds of future legends.

The second legend is [Nascimento the Silver Banker].

Legendary title: Silver Saint Lord.

This man was once the headmaster of the School of Bodycraft, and took over his position after Gandalf rose to power. Ten years ago, he successfully ascended to the Legendary rank, becoming the second Legendary in the School of Metallurgy.

Its legendary class is the [Silver Soul]. Its demiplane is the [Silver Soul Palace]. Its legendary title is [The Eternal Silver Soul, the Ruler of All Silver].

Unlike the Bronze Warlord who manipulates bronze puppets, the Silver Lord's ability lies in strengthening metals. He drew upon the Enlightenment Spells of the Life School to create his own legendary spells:

Its name is "The Silver Soul of Nascimento".

This spell can imbue any physical metallic object in the vicinity with a brief period of spirituality, condensing it into a battle spirit with legendary power.

The strength of the Battle Soul depends on the spiritual power of the Silver Saint Lord. The Battle Soul can both attack and transform into silver armor for protection, making it extremely useful.

After the legend, the Silver Lord returned to studying the art of body tempering, frequently visiting Gondor to seek guidance from Gandalf without humbly asking questions, and almost becoming Gandalf's apprentice.

This is the end.

There are 25 legendary wizards still alive, double the number before the Golden Age.

The number of Grand Wizards in Nora reached 450, and there were over 700 Level 9 alien races. This is despite the fact that many Level 9 powerhouses are lost in war each year.

Li Weidao:

"Nora and the Underworld Alliance are stronger than ever before, and our Dream Wall system has also achieved excellent results. This is Nora's 3500th year."

In this era, the entanglement between the Mother River and the Nightmare Will has bought us a precious opportunity, while the Abyss and the Astral Plane have yet to intervene, attempting to reap the benefits.

Our plan is to eliminate Nightmare 4000 years from now in Nora's life.

What follows will be a great counter-offensive war that will determine the fate of civilization.

Aside from the troops remaining in Nora, the rest of you will follow me into the Darklands to disrupt the Nightmare Ritual. Don't hesitate to use the Dark Tower if you encounter danger.

Taking the initiative always carries risks. But times have changed. Nora is strong enough now, and there's no need for her to always be on the defensive and passively defend herself. That would stretch the battle lines too thin, and Nora might have to add the Abyss to her list of enemies.

The two giants have a long history of animosity, but in the face of a life-or-death crisis, the possibility of them joining forces cannot be ruled out. Nora's hard-won advantage will be completely destroyed.

However, just to be on the safe side, in order to give the dark army time to turn back and provide rescue, it is still necessary to arrange some level 10 combat power to defend Nora.

On one side are the daydreamers and the Fiery Star Wizard, the old guards. On the other side, Hermann's mechanical gods will also be on standby at any time.

He can now summon 15 celestial beings to descend.

Ultimately, nearly 30 level 10 Nora and Underworld members remained in Nora.

All other ten levels, go forth and spare no effort!

Li Wei looked at everyone and finally gave the order.

"Operation begins!"

Correct typos first, then make proper changes.

I'm asking for monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions.
