Chapter 1783: DREAM
The reason Cain channeled every single iota of Origin Force obtained from the other Innate Abilities into Supercomputer Assistance, rather than dividing it equally with Reaper’s Touch, as he had previously done, revolved entirely around his Dream.
In the Crimson World, the concept of a Dream was fundamental for cultivators who had ascended to the Third Realm. It wasn’t merely a metaphorical goal or aspiration; instead, it formed the very essence of their cultivation paths.
The Dream was the true core of their being—a unique manifestation representing their deepest ideals, strengths, and the path they walked toward surpassing the endless tides of time itself, ultimately achieving immortality capable of sundering galaxies.
The creation of a Dream was based on fusing compatible Oniric Truths—intrinsic principles and insights cultivated over countless years of arduous effort. By merging these compatible truths, cultivators could grow significantly stronger, creating something far greater and infinitely more powerful than the sum of their individual parts.
Unlike the Path of Eternal Power from the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe, which inherently tethered cultivators’ paths to their nature and will, Dreams in the Crimson World offered a completely open and flexible foundation. In theory, Cain could even forge a Dream rooted entirely in peace, compassion, or forgiveness if he wished. However, such a path would have been absurdly counterproductive to his ultimate objectives.
Yet this freedom posed a significant risk. Precisely because the cultivation of a Dream was entirely subjective and dependent on personal choices, many things could easily go awry.
It was entirely possible that the Oniric Truths chosen for fusion might lack genuine compatibility. At best, such forced mergers would create a fragile Dream, weakening cultivation progress. At worst, it would entirely halt the cultivator’s development, condemning their future efforts to stagnation.
Thus, under normal circumstances, cultivators spent tens or even hundreds of thousands of years meticulously exploring the countless affinities between Oniric Truths. They endlessly experimented, striving to discover the perfect combination that would enable them to push past the Arch-Deity Realm and step confidently toward genuine immortality.
But Cain had neither the luxury of time nor patience for such prolonged experimentation. His solution was both practical and ingenious—he chose to push his Supercomputer Assistant to evolve to the point it could fully analyze and simulate the complex compatibility among Oniric Truths.
