Chapter 662 - 371: The Original Continent (Double-Length)
[You carry the Monument of the Rambler to sleep...]
[Note that the reminiscing dreamscape can be terminated, but you only have one opportunity to enter this reminiscing dreamscape. After using it, the Monument of the Rambler will shatter.]
[Entering the Ramblers’ reminiscing dreamscape...]
A closed room, a simple bed.
Rogel lay on the bed, holding the Monument of the Rambler, closed his eyes, and slowly sank into the dreamscape.
...
[You have entered the Ramblers’ reminiscing dreamscape...]
After a brief darkness, light appeared before Rogel’s eyes.
And in his vision, prompts continuously appeared, revealing more information to him.
[At the beginning of the world’s birth, on the boundless continent, there was not a sign of life; all that could be seen was silence and desolation.]
With the appearance of the prompts,
scenes gradually emerged before Rogel’s eyes, bordered with a white mist, filled with a dreamlike illusion.
His sight rapidly advanced while overlooking this land.
But, as stated in the prompt, no life existed in the world.
There were no plants or animals, the entire world was a barren landscape, only with mountain ranges and crisscrossing ravines.
Rogel’s sight continued to advance in this manner.
And his actions were not under his own control, as if he were observing all this from a third-person perspective.
"Is this the perspective of the Rambler?"
Rogel quickly thought of this point.
Before entering this so-called Rambler’s dreamscape, he had naturally tried to conduct inference using the Power of Faith, but unfortunately, it was impossible.
This indicates that the "Rambler" is clearly a big-shot-level existence, very likely a True God.
Hence, the past, future, and personal experiences related to It were obscured by powerful forces, preventing the weak from peeking.
And the words "Rambler" easily reminded Rogel of dreams.
Speaking of dreams, Rogel couldn’t help but recall something Uvie Muzhe once told him.
The eastern part of the Sea of Holy Scales—the Sea of Dreams.
Pieces of the Dimir Mirror, which Rogel had obtained in the Yudona Sea Area, were the crucial treasures.
However, due to a series of subsequent events, he temporarily had no time to deal with this matter.
Unexpectedly, it seems to be related to the "Rambler" now.
"After this dream is over, I need to take a look."
Rogel thought to himself.
Then, he continued to focus on the dreamscape before him.
Whether everything he sees now is the Rambler’s dream journey remains to be discussed.
"Hmm... is the owner of this perspective wandering, or... confused?"
On this boundless continent, Rogel drifted with this unknown perspective.
But on this continent, no life existed; the bare landscape was so uninteresting.
And Rogel also felt a hint of... confusion from this perspective.
It seemed unaware of what it should do, searching for something, yet not understanding who it was...
This made Rogel furrow his brows.
Though he had patience, he could not be endlessly fascinated by such tedious matters.
But fortunately, a change soon occurred.
This perspective suddenly paused, then slowly looked up at the sky.
In the sky, there was neither sun nor moon, not a blue sky, nor a black night.
Instead, it was a chaotic gray.
Suddenly.
Clatter—
[Suddenly, you paused, and the whole world collapsed, like a mirror shattering upon the ground and breaking into pieces.]
[You awaken from your confusion, finding a sliver of self in the nascent moment.]
[You were born, and the world bestowed upon you the power of dreams; you control all dreams in the world, whether sweet dreams or nightmares.]
In the next moment, this so-called "Dream Controller’s" perception and memory of actions completely transmitted into Rogel’s mind.
It tried to look at its body, but only saw a cluster of air.
Yet, It knew, It was not nonexistent, but without a definite form, not belonging to life or matter, leaning more towards spirit.
"Indeed, it’s the Rambler; this should be the owner or perhaps... the creator of the Monument of the Rambler?"
"Most likely a True God level existence."
Rogel thought to himself.
He’s not a fool. Seeing this scene and combining it with the information he had previously learned, he could probably infer these conclusions.
This "Rambler" should have been born in a very ancient history.
So now it seems that the function of the Monument of the Rambler is probably to follow the Rambler’s perspective, witnessing the ancient history of this world.
"...I thought I might get some powerful treasure... but that’s also fine."
"Since this world initially was a continent, let’s see how it became an ocean."
This movie-watching approach certainly couldn’t gain any powerful items.
However, Rogel wasn’t too disappointed.
If from this experience, he could learn of ancient history, it would also be a significant gain.
[Understanding this, you look up at the sky; it is no longer a gray expanse but an evening where sun and moon shine together.]
[On the continent’s east, a dazzling sun heralded the dawn, while on the west, the moon, embraced by stars, cast the night’s glow.]
["They are my kind."]
[Such a thought emerged in your mind, just as you naturally know how to wield the power of dreams, like an instinct.]
[They are existences of the same level as you, who also appeared at the world’s beginning.]
