The howling darkness rushed towards us, carrying gusts of cold wind.

And when Russell opened his eyes again, he saw the "dream".

He is not some majestic god-king, nor is he a deceitful demon.

It was an endless, dreamlike sunset.

Dim yellow, orange red, blood red, purple, dark blue. They flow slowly like a veil, permeating the boundless world. Like some kind of living creature, but also like some kind of wonder. If it is a group

If formed into a ball, it would be enough to easily fill the Pacific Ocean. If flattened, it would be more than enough to cover the entire Earth.

"Fantasy Dream" did not make any attack on Russell. Instead, it seemed to be very happy and wrapped it up gently. The touch was like a hot hair dryer hitting the body from a distance, and like a mother's hair brushing against the body.

Pass.

As the essence of the twilight species, Russell understood the essence of the other party the moment he came into contact with "Dream".

- "Dream" is not an individual, but a special species.

In fact, Russell had vaguely touched upon the nature of fantasy dreams as early as when he first came to Zhongxiang to learn magic!

These countless "dreams" have the same essence as the sources of magic obtained from the dream world!

Like those flames from the "source of rage", the fire of rage tamed by Russell and Strangler formed a red river of lava in the dream world.

These extremely tiny special spiritual beings are like some kind of conscious special particles. As long as they remain in the body of the beings that have been radiated by them, they will gradually acquire a "self". And as more and more particles are retained in each human body,

If there are more people, "personal will" will become clear...and then they will separate from the group and become "selfish".

On the contrary, I completely understood the opposite from the very beginning——

It's not that the dream world reflects the human subconscious at any time, but because "dreams" travel between different individual consciousnesses, and the traces they leave behind weave a public dream that allows all humans to "network"!

Different emotions are just changes in the proportions of different particles. When people's thinking changes, the different "dream particles" absorbed change, and of course the traces left behind will also change and be reflected in the macroscopic world, which is the dream world.

The area has changed.

"Isn't this completely unsealed from the very beginning?"

——That’s right.

"Sacrifice a planet to seal the dream", this idea itself is also "sacrifice the few to achieve the majority." Being able to have this idea and implement this plan shows that the ancient civilization that sealed the dream on this planet is still working on it.

Influenced by fantasy.

Russell also understood why.

Because dreams cannot and cannot be completely sealed - if these "particles" completely dissipate, then humans and other animals will lose the concept of "self". That means the destruction of civilization.

But once the concentration of fantasy dreams rises, it will bring about complete destruction. The civilization that is completely destroyed will hatch more "phantom dreams". This is the way that fantasy dreams reproduce themselves.

This is a kind of spiritual plague that is incubated and cultivated by one's own hands, and ultimately feeds on civilization to strengthen itself.

——Civilized herdsmen.

This "dream" that blocks the sky and the sun is the remains of countless civilizations. But Russell knew that they would be enough to easily create hundreds of civilizations as brilliant as the earth on a planet without intelligent creatures.

Russell was just immersed in it, and his appearance immediately melted and turned into a thick white colloid.

For any intelligent life, it is a poison strong enough to completely decompose it. Any individual with "private thoughts" and "selfish desires" cannot resist the invasion of fantasy dreams.

Because Russell was not completely connected to the collective subconscious, the gaps were infiltrated by dreams, easily severing his will. Just like a child persistently reaching out to grab something he likes, while the mother gently but firmly moves her fingers one by one.

He opened it and said, "Good boy, we don't buy this."

Russell's outer shell seemed to have been corroded by strong acid, regressing back to Russell's original appearance.

It’s not Russell who has a desert cat spirit relative and is worshiped as a hero by people.

But the weak young man on the earth. The young man with short black ear-length hair, his appearance is more delicate now, his body is slimmer, and he looks a bit silent and autistic. That was not even the time when he traveled through time.

The way he looked was when he was in school.

It is his most original and fragile posture before he puts on any mask. But it is also the essence of him as a species of dusk that cannot be corrupted by dreams.

After losing the protection of his shell, a great fear overwhelmed him, like the cold wind in the polar region, completely freezing his ritual. And the warm feelings from his "fellow race" were like warm water, making him

he produces

Dependent. He slowly fell asleep in the warm water.

But even so, Russell's essence is still at work.

In the boundless glow, the center of Russell's chest was like a morning star, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

He instinctively and greedily absorbed everything around him, and Huanmeng didn't resist at all.

Like a vortex, it continuously sucks in the surrounding dreams.

And as he sucked, the sum of the emotions of every individual in the world was gradually reflected in his heart. Jealousy, anger, resentment, sadness, despair, greed, arrogance, and laziness were accompanied by hundreds of millions of negative emotions.

With the whispers that sounded in everyone's heart from time to time, they came over and poured into Russell's mind.

——But, at the same time.

Tolerance, bravery, gentleness, wisdom, hope, laughter...

…

Although it is much thinner in comparison, positive emotions that still exist at the same time are also flowing in with this medium.

That's what this planet is all about.

Suffering is better than happiness, sadness is better than joy. But even so, the latter still exists and has never been completely eliminated.

Russell instinctively and slowly sucked everything in the entire civilization. Like a baby sucking its mother's milk.

This is not unacceptable to fantasy - distributed storage in a

in civilization, or concentrated in an individual, for them

There is no difference. The two world destroyers fell into this slow and anxious

In the tug-of-war, it looks so benign, but in fact it is extremely dangerous.

As for the outside world, more than two months have passed like this.

Fortunately, Russell swallowed "Promotion" so that Happy Island would not completely lose hope.

After the deer head statue also turned into the light in people's hearts and spread the future throughout the world, the world did not change suddenly in an instant.

The world is still in complete darkness.

And people are still in confusion and fear, and no one has started to implement the plan of the deer head statue.

But as the corporate order collapsed, people gradually formed a new order.

The Fuji Society, which had been questioned in the past, finally stood up at this time and began to maintain the new order under the eternal night.

At times like this, people just need a leader. Whoever it is.

Fuji Society became their most trustworthy answer.

Next, there are the "heroes" of each island. In addition to the famous heroes, there are many unknown heroes. Those who once helped others and were trusted by people have now become candles one after another.

.

And finally

In early December, the islands reached an agreement.

Save Happy Island first, then conserve energy.

The remaining six sky islands moved slowly, sandwiching the Happy Island. With it moving slowly, it finally landed safely on the land.

Trees die, but dead wood can also fuel fire.

The sun went out and the sky collapsed, but there seemed to be hope for them to survive.

That is the only possibility, the only remaining plan - although the hope is slim, it does exist!

This is the only way to do it anyway, so why not give it a try!

Many people left the floating island for the first time and went to the ground, collecting as much resources as possible before the arrival of eternal winter. Those people on the ground also arrived for the first time after "the sun fell and the heaven fell."

On the empty island.

They belong to the same civilization.

They were once separated but are now reunited in the face of the disaster of annihilation. The people on the earth share their experience of living on the earth, and the people on the sky island share their miraculous technologies that are so advanced. People from all directions gradually gather and reunite.

Go to this huge city in the clouds that has fallen to the ground.

This would have never happened two months ago.

The islands despise each other and have meaningless hatred for each other. Not to mention the completely different civilizations between the sky and the earth.

But now, under the common disaster of annihilation and the same plan goal, they abandoned all their previous prejudices and chose to cooperate for the first time. Only then did they suddenly realize that

It turns out that there is no hatred between you and me.

In the face of the first desire to "live", their positions are the same. Everyone is [human].

Perhaps it was because Russell was constantly absorbing the fantasy that the restlessness and hatred in people's hearts faded, and it was possible to reach cooperation.
