Breaking free from a million dreams... It might actually be possible.

After all, my intelligence is still intact. Regardless of how realistic the dreams created based on the current reality are, the number of badges on the panel can't be faked. My first reaction would definitely be that there's a problem with my memory... Plus, I've already woken up once.

After glancing at the newly acquired Dream Awakener badge on the panel, Leon hesitated slightly before temporarily giving up the idea of obtaining another high-level badge. Instead, he looked up towards the Dream Resting Master, whose form was constantly expanding above, and initiated communication:

"Please wait a moment!"

Looking up at the vague silhouette expanding like a sky, Leon frowned and called out:

"Are you also a source relic survivor? Preparing to attack me to seize the roots of the current reality?"

"Is that what you want to ask?"

Overlooking Leon below, who had broken free from memory suppression, the Dream Resting Master continued to breathe dreams into the "sky" while coldly chuckling:

"I'm Number 7, you're Number 3. Other than this, can there be any other relationship between us?"

"We can still cooperate."

Quite wary of Number 1, who seemingly possesses the essence of the roots and not confident in defeating him alone, Leon, who urgently needs other "teammates," didn't immediately adopt a hostile stance but instead looked up again and attempted to negotiate:

"You should know Number 1, right? Before I set off from the current world, the passages of many material realms on Old Soil were already in chaos, including..."

"The Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils, the Insufficient Village, Shepherd's Plain."

Interrupting Leon, the Dream Resting Master paused the dream weaving and answered with a not-so-pleasant expression:

"Number 8, Number 14... and Number 6, who is stronger than me, have all been killed by Number 1. Now, Number 1 should be plundering the roots of these three realms, along with the earlier Number 9 and Number 13. They possess a total of six roots, not far from our ultimate mission."

1, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14...

Firmly remembering the numbers of the six roots in Number 1's possession, Leon nodded and responded:

"Indeed, Number 1 won't stop here, and will surely continue attacking other source relic survivors and realms in the future. So we should try to join forces and deal with the most dangerous one first!"

"You're right, Number 1 has indeed become a major threat to all of us source relic survivors, and there is indeed a need to join forces against them."

Looking at Leon below, who clearly disliked him yet patiently attempted to negotiate, the Dream Resting Master couldn't help but nod in agreement, slightly retracting his increasingly massive form.

However, just as Leon thought he was about to agree to join forces, prepared to temporarily consent to a truce, the enormous silhouette of the Dream Resting Master slightly lowered, enveloping Leon floating in the silver river.

"But wouldn't swallowing all of you and transforming your realm into a dream chasm be another form of joining forces?"

"..."

Understood, this is someone who can't be reasoned with verbally.

Gazing up into the mocking eyes of the Dream Resting Master, realizing he hadn't shown enough strength to be taken seriously, Leon took a deep breath, then changed to the newly acquired Dream Awakener badge, and spoke calmly:

"You're Number 7, right? How about making a wager?"

Wager?

Upon hearing this, the Dream Resting Master was slightly taken aback, then asked:

"What do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet whether I can wake up from your million dreams."

Although this entity above is quite loathsome, Leon, urgently needing allies, decided to seize every potential support, choosing to temporarily suppress his emotions and proposed with a glimmering gaze:

"You are the source of all dreams, and the dream chasm is the endpoint of all dreams, so you should be invincible within the dreams.

If in the next million dreams, even without using the essence of roots to resist, I can still wake up from your dreams, you must agree to my alliance invitation and join me against Number 1, deal?"

Without using root essence, still waking up from my dream? This is simply impossible! But this look...

Narrowing his eyes, the Dream Resting Master studied Leon below, who stood with confidence, hesitated slightly, wondering if Leon had other tricks up his sleeve, but ultimately didn't believe anyone could surpass him in the dream world, and decided to agree.

"Fine! Let's do it as you say!"

...

It's happening! The Dream Resting Master is getting serious!

Just as the Dream Resting Master agreed to Leon's wager, the Three Pillar Gods immediately became vigilant, noticing the disturbance in the dream chasm, and quickly retreated.

And just as they retreated a short distance, the previously thumb-width narrow dream chasm began to uncontrollably expand wildly, with over sixty large main chasms spreading like a web, appearing as spatial fractures filling the surroundings.

Over seven hundred small branches followed the main chasms, resembling wind-swept, colorless tassels, and transparent tentacles fluttering outward, spreading towards countless realms in the boundless astral world.

Disgusting, bizarre, chaotic, twisted... Terrifying!

A gaze at the expansion, stopping after reaching the size of a medium material realm, resembling a colossal jellyfish floating up and down in the astral world, the faces of the Three Pillar Gods revealed a complex expression of disdain and shock.
