Chapter 37 Dreamland
"Huhu~"
At the bottom of the pit, Wang Changle suddenly sat up from the ground, but his pupils shrank for a while. He gasped for breath, and big beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead and dripping on the dirty ground.
He looked up at the setting sun in the sky, his eyes a little confused.
The confusion of space and time made him unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

[Tip: Your Cthulhu knowledge has been increased to 420 points, and you have unlocked the witchcraft: Black Lotus Dream Potion. You have unlocked ritual magic: divination.]
The reminders of Samsara Paradise kept ringing, which immediately brought Wang Changle back from his wandering thoughts.
But his mental and physical strength had been greatly exhausted, and now he only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and everything around him was noisy and annoying.
However, after looking sideways at the sleeping black hoof beside him, Wang Changle felt inexplicably relaxed. He pulled out a piece of tentacle, rolled it into a futon, fell down and fell asleep.
....
The next day, early morning.
The warm morning light passes through the prism magic barrier and reflects rainbow light.
Among them, there happened to be a three-color rainbow light that passed through the ruins of Qirui City, shot straight into the dark pit, and finally fell on Wang Changle's eyelids.
"Hmm~ It's already dawn again!"
If Wang Changle felt something, he opened his eyes anxiously and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the slightly dazzling light, but the three-color rainbow light still seeped in through the gaps between his fingers.
He turned around and looked at Black Hoof, who was still sleeping soundly. He stretched and then sat up.
After this night of long sleep, Wang Changle's mental and physical strength had recovered to some extent, and even the dull pain in his brain had weakened a lot.
While taking out the curly leaves and fruits to eat, he also began to sort out the information and insights he gained from signing the contract with Sathogya.
This time, with sufficient preparation, Wang Changle took the initiative to sign a contract with Satugua. Indeed, he did not encounter the same dangerous crisis as when he came into contact with the 'King in Yellow'.
Even though he fell into the abyss many times, his real body never suffered any substantial damage.
But if you really want to calculate it, the danger this time is actually not small. If Bytias's 'bewitching' ability hadn't allowed Wang Changle to plant a seed of suggestion, he could quickly react when exposed to the mist and wind.
Remember all the information.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Wang Changle himself to get off the 'Spine Suspension Bridge', let alone sign a contract with the ancient god in the future.
If he can't get out, he will most likely forget all the information gradually and lose himself after constantly experiencing the 'death cycle'.
In the end, you will definitely become a member of the "Intricate Cave" or the food of the invisible son in front of the ancient temple.
But the rewards of signing the contract this time were not small. In addition to the permanent improvement of 10 points of willpower and the improvement of Cthulhu knowledge, he also gained a lot of additional knowledge about Tsathoggua while he knelt down and listened to the toads.
The knowledge of 'Dreamland'.
According to his understanding, the basis of this 'dream' is the fusion and application of willpower and mental power.
If subjective consciousness and memory are used to aggregate and stabilize it to form an inherent and special realm, it is a 'dream'.
However, this kind of 'dream' can only be regarded as a 'conscious dream', just like the realm constructed by 'Alhazred's Lamp', with single elements, vague structure, short timeliness and instability.
And through the superposition or overlapping of "conscious dreams", or even the reorganization, what is formed is "multiple dreams".
This kind of dream can be similar to The Matrix with overlapping matrix layers. It is necessary to constantly open the 'door' in order to enter the 'conscious dream' of the next or previous level. It is a chain of links.
.
It can also be like Tsathogya or the King in Yellow, which uses its own "conscious dream" as a large framework to draw the collective consciousness of a large number of living creatures into it.
New independent "conscious dreams" are constantly generated, forming nodes in a superimposed manner, or reorganized and integrated to form a pluralistic "multiple dreams".
The strength of this 'multiple dream' has nothing to do with the form of its composition. It is fundamentally determined by the intensity of the main 'conscious dream'.
However, these two kinds of 'multiple dreams' have their own advantages. The former is not difficult to construct. It only needs to find the corresponding memory points as mental nodes, and through mental induction, new 'conscious dreams' can be continuously formed.
Although it does not have dominance, even if it is disintegrated and broken, it will not hurt itself.
In the latter, as long as the large 'conscious dream' does not collapse, no matter how many independent 'conscious dream' nodes are destroyed, the root of this 'multiple dreams' cannot be destroyed.
Whether the target is allowed to enter or leave the 'dream' depends on the will of the 'dream' owner, who will have absolute dominance in this kind of 'multiple dreams'.
And all 'dreams', whether they are 'conscious dreams' or 'multiple dreams', are a special realm, and entry requires a corresponding key, or medium.
This medium can be pure spiritual power, or it can be some kind of artifact, or a mark, or some kind of ritual.
For example, the King in Yellow's "Dream", the medium he uses is the "Seal in Yellow" on the back of Wang Changle's hand.
If he wants to avoid being pulled into the 'conscious dream' of the King in Yellow, the best way is to strengthen his willpower or mental toughness, and the most practical way is to isolate the 'medium'.
Although the contract signed with Satogua this time was a bit dangerous, it really benefited Wang Changle a lot.
Not only was he no longer helpless when facing the King in Yellow's "Dream", but the dream knowledge he gained was also extremely consistent with the "Desire of Waves" and spiritual induction.
If coupled with the inherent 'consciousness dream' of Alhazred's Lamp, Wang Changle has a hunch that in the near future, this 'multiple dreams' will become a major trump card in his hand!
At this time, he remembered the paradise reminder that sounded in his ears before falling asleep, and it seemed that he had gained much more than that.
