Chapter 307: Chapter 221 Dream Master_2
Passing through the village and stepping onto the path leading to the prison, Chen Yun’s stride became increasingly determined.
Occasionally villagers would cast curious glances his way, but he simply nodded politely in response.
Before long,
he arrived at the parking lot outside the prison.
For non-visitors and prison staff, this was pretty much the limit.
Fortunately, this distance was also sufficient.
As long as it was within the range of his spiritual perception, he could directly initiate Dream Entry.
Chen Yun’s spiritual perception range had reached five hundred meters, allowing him to sense many details of the prison, even from the parking lot.
In the quiet of the parking lot, Chen Yun’s spiritual power brushed lightly over every corner of the prison like invisible tendrils. This perception ability beyond ordinary humans enabled him to catch many details that weren’t easy to notice.
He could feel the layout of the prison interior, behind the cold concrete walls hid rows of tightly shut cells, each room carrying different stories and emotions.
The air was permeated not only with the smell of rust and disinfectant but also with hidden anxiety, regret, and hope. The occasional low conversations and distant footsteps echoing were exceptionally clear in his spiritual perception, as if he could distinguish every subtle emotional fluctuation.
He sensed a convict sitting quietly in the corner of his cell, repeatedly caressing a family photo in his hands, his eyes filled with longing for freedom and loved ones. On the other side, an aged convict under the dim light, with trembling hands, was writing a letter home, every word and sentence laden with reflections on the past and hopes for the future.
Among them...
was a rapist, having just lain down for a nap, his mind void of any remorse.
Seeing this,
Chen Yun, who had picked up a stone from the ground in the village,
carved it into a top with his fingernail and then placed the top on the ground with much ceremony before spinning it.
The next moment,
Chen Yun sat on the bench, watching the sleeping rapist from afar and initiated his Dream Entry Ability without any reservations.
The humming sound of the spinning top seemed to be a signal for activation.
Chen Yun closed his eyes and immersed himself wholeheartedly in the dream journey that was about to unfold.
It felt almost like a soul emergence.
His consciousness, like an invisible current, flowed through the boundary between reality and the Dream World, purposefully infiltrating towards the deep recesses of the rapist’s dream.
Initially, he encountered layers of vague, ambiguous imagery.
As if wandering through fog.
These fragments flashed past rapidly, consisting of scattered memories from the man’s daily life, mixed with chaotic emotions and indefinable desires.
However, as Chen Yun’s spiritual power penetrated deeper,
the imagery gradually settled, and a blurred Dream World scene began to unfold before him.
In the dream, the rapist found himself in a desolate landscape, surrounded by towering black rocks. A blood-red moon hung in the sky, and the entire scene was filled with oppression and disquiet.
In that twisted space, he appeared to be chasing something, his eyes flickering with a mix of avarice and fear.
Chen Yun did not interfere with the natural progression of the dream but instead observed as a bystander, quietly taking in more details of the surroundings within the dream.
Through his observation, he discovered:
Firstly, the dream itself was very vague.
Perhaps inconspicuous to the blurred consciousness of the actual dreamer,
but to him, a lucid outsider,
the clarity of the entire Dream World was like pixel blocks, with some corners of the scene even being distorted and bizarre.
Only where the rapist’s gaze was focused did the scene appear clear enough; everywhere else seemed unfocused and blurry.
This was not due to visual impairment.
Rather, it seemed that the entire world was truly fluctuating like this.
The construction of the dream seemed to follow some algorithm, prioritizing the presentation of information that the dreamer was focused on, while neglecting unnoticed details.
This mechanism was similar to Level of Detail (LOD) in computer graphics rendering, where high-definition images are loaded only when needed to optimize resource allocation.
Chen Yun speculated that this might be because ordinary people simply do not possess sufficient spiritual power to imagine an abundance of rich and realistic details.
Secondly, it seemed that the Dream World existed only where the rapist’s gaze reached.
In the Dream World, places he hadn’t seen would instantly vanish until his gaze shifted back, and then they would reappear.
This was somewhat similar to the varying clarity of scenes he had witnessed earlier, as if to save on computational power.
It only simulated the areas that the rapist could perceive in the dream, naturally eliminating the need to simulate the rest.
This allowed Chen Yun, standing unnoticed in the endless void devoid of imagery where the rapist’s attention hadn’t reached, to quietly rise in deep thought.
This really was...
It felt somewhat like "I think, therefore I am."
The places the rapist didn’t see simply didn’t exist, and within those he did see, only the areas of focus were clear, everything else was a blur.
In this boundless void, Chen Yun was deeply attracted by the strange logical construct of the dream.
He realized that the dream seemed to be a mirror reflecting the contours of the subconscious, yet also constrained by the limits of consciousness itself.
Everything in the dream depended on the focus of the dreamer’s attention and their subconscious, following rules entirely different from reality.
This phenomenon of "I think, therefore I am" was a revelation of the dream’s essence: in this dream made of thoughts and spirit...consciousness could determine everything.
So, on this wasteland composed of fragments of thought, Chen Yun decided to conduct a bold experiment.
He tried to merge his willpower with the fringes of the dream, not to alter the content of the dream, but to expand its boundaries, allowing scenes that disappeared with a shift of the gaze to persist.
Even if...just for a moment.
As Chen Yun’s spiritual power slowly extended, he felt a subtle resistance.
It was as if the dream had its own set of rules, not allowing anyone to easily tamper with it.
But his resolve was firm, and he attempted to plant a sliver of light in that endless void, solidifying the imagery that should have vanished with the averted gaze into a stable background.
The next moment.
A miracle happened; the scenes that should have disappeared with the shift of view began to slowly solidify.
They no longer vanished directly as the rapist’s attention shifted.
Although still blurry, they no longer fluttered away like the wind.
At this moment, Chen Yun seemed to be weaving his own logic into the tapestry of the dream, giving this desolate place a hint of continuity and stability.
This endeavor made him realize that although a dream is a product of the dreamer’s consciousness, it seems that it could be guided and reshaped to some extent through the intervention of stronger spiritual power.
Pondering this.
Chen Yun decided to further experiment, he attempted to slightly influence the boundaries of the dream to see if he could guide its evolution through his spiritual power.
Having already tried to fix the disappearing images in place, it was time to try a more advanced operation: directly altering the dream.
Chen Yun focused.
He sent a gentle ripple of intention towards a fuzzy corner of the dream.
It was originally a blank space.
Now, a serene forest scene slowly emerged, with trees swaying softly in the breeze, dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.
This image looked exceptionally real.
Because it was simulated by Chen Yun, it was replete with details.
To his surprise, this change did not cause turbulence throughout the dream, but was like a small stone cast into a lake, causing only ripples in that area.
This proved his hypothesis: dreams had a certain malleability, at least for someone like him, a holder of such spiritual strength.
The success of this experiment.
Posed a very serious question.
It meant that Chen Yun, after Dream Entry, could not only observe but also use spiritual power to influence the dream, making him omnipotent within it.
This might have no practical significance in the real world.
But this ability...
Was very interesting!
With this outrageous ability, he could proclaim himself as...
The Dream Master!
