391: The real purpose

High in the air, Tang Ku felt a sudden weight beneath his feet; he was already standing on a triangular flying craft.

The construction of this flying craft was simple: beneath it was a ring-shaped object resembling a magnet, and above it was a triangular platform surrounded by metal railings, giving it a very sci-fi feel.

The craft seemed to be moving very quickly, carrying them toward a deep mountain.

Behind him, Hooke had already let go, but the green chains on Tang Ku's body had not disappeared.

"Oh, this power doesn't seem to belong to you. Hmm, are you borrowing the power within this dream?"

Tang Ku suddenly laughed and said, "It seems Darwin treats you quite well!"

"Teacher treats me naturally very well!"

Hooke laughed, "In this dream world, I am the Dominator, capable of controlling the most powerful force within it—disaster!"

"Then what is your purpose?"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Going to such great lengths to drag everyone in Chang'an City into this dream can't just be for collecting resentment, right! It's thankless work; Darwin doesn't seem like the type of person to do that!"

"Teacher's wisdom is unparalleled!"

Hooke steered the craft as it dove into the deep mountain and said indifferently, "Although this world is constructed from the dreams of countless people, it can generally still be linked to the outside world; there is a faint connection. This experiment is actually very simple. Once successful, we will be able to completely control your world by dragging people into the dream!"

Tang Ku didn't understand what he was talking about, but the other party seemed determined not to tell him too much, steering the craft headlong into a towering mountain.

"This mountain... Oh, it's exactly the same as Mang Mountain in reality?"

Tang Ku said in surprise.

"Heh heh, that's right... That Bei Mang Mountain Ghost King was actually found in this deep mountain. Teacher saw that he was useful, so he kept him."

Hooke laughed, "The passage you see now, and the things you are about to see, have identical counterparts in reality!"

The passage before them seemed to be cast from some kind of metallic Materials; the four walls were incredibly smooth. After flying forward for nearly five kilometers, the view suddenly brightened and became spacious.

In a massive semicircular space, there stood a giant transparent sphere that looked like it was made of crystal. The sphere was fully two hundred meters in diameter. Above it, resembling a DNA double helix, were two transparent tubes over a hundred meters long, connected to many smaller tubes that led upward... As for what was above, it was a mass of endless darkness, rotating constantly like a black hole.

"That place... can lead to reality, is that what you mean?"

Tang Ku suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

"Hmm, it seems you are really smart to have thought of that!"

Hooke laughed, "Then do you know what the function of this thing is?"

Tang Ku frowned and shook his head: "I can only think of that much. Since you said that such a thing also exists in the Mang Mountain of the real world, I can't think of anything else besides it being used to connect to reality!"

"It's simple!"

Hooke laughed, "My teacher is waiting for me in reality to activate this instrument together. As long as both sides operate simultaneously, the dream world and the real world can be completely connected. Once connected successfully, everything that happens in this world can be manifested in reality!"

Tang Ku couldn't help but be horrified: "That is to say... if you bring down a disaster here, the same disaster will appear in reality, is that what you mean?"

"That's right!"

Hooke laughed, "This is a superweapon, a true strategic weapon. With this, why would we fear that the people of that world won't submit? Once the dream world successfully establishes a connection, we can start from Chang'an City and gradually radiate outward. Using the resentment generated in the real world as energy, we can expand the scope of control to the whole country, to the entire world, and even gradually to the Universe!"

"Just think, no matter what level of civilization, even if they have developed technology to the extreme, or developed cultivation to the extreme, or even developed Physical Body strength to the point of traversing the Universe, who among them could withstand this level of power? Oh, I forgot to tell you, if this dream world is controlled by my teacher, it is enough to bring down a disaster capable of destroying the Physical Body of a Saint!"

Tang Ku was silent for a moment, then said: "This is truly terrifying power. Honestly, Darwin's wild imagination is something others really cannot reach... By the way, isn't he a biologist? How could he come up with such an idea? Spatial displacement and grafting—shouldn't that be knowledge that an astrophysicist should master?"

"Heh heh, how could you possibly imagine Teacher's wisdom!"

Hooke laughed triumphantly, "Don't forget, dreams are merely a starting point, and the development of dreams stems from the human brain. My teacher is profoundly learned and naturally able to develop his own theories from the study of the brain and dreams. Hmm, we know this is a world where the strong are respected, and the strongest group of people should be the Saints who have mastered the Law... This method of grafting the dream world is basically equivalent to the Law of a Saint... Hmm, or rather, it can distort the Law of this Universe! Do you understand when I say it like this?"

"I... I can probably figure it out!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "It seems I still overestimated you. Is your goal really that simple? Just to control this world?"

"Hmph, what do you know? Teacher is just working for that legendary Master. Scientists at the same level as Teacher are all servants of that person, and this plan is also serving that person!"

Hooke squinted and said, "Can you imagine? The awkward and shocked expressions of those other scientists when they heard Teacher's proposal... Heh heh, none of them could have come up with such an idea!"

"Hmm, the person who could think of this idea is indeed a genius of unparalleled talent!" Tang Ku gave an affirmative answer.

Hooke said almost maniacally: "Since then, all of the Master's resources began to tilt toward us, and he let nearly half of the dozen or so scientists come to help him build this machine! Hmm, you must not know its name yet, heh heh, it is called aonei luosi!"

Tang Ku nodded, then suddenly squinted and said: "Not bad, that is the name of the Dream God clan of ancient Greece!"

"That's right, it seems you are also very learned!"

Hooke suddenly calmed down and said, "Teacher said that the only variable in this plan is you and your Disciples, so my goal is to keep you here so you cannot intervene... Hmm, your Disciple Pigsy is very smart. When he saw me, he guessed something was wrong, so I captured him and locked him up here. And when I was hiding among your Disciples, he tried to escape two or three times, but was caught back by my demonized mechanical soldiers..."

"That is to say, he is not dead yet?"

Tang Ku's eyes lit up.

"That's right, he is not dead yet!"

Hooke laughed, "If I want to disguise myself as him, I need him to be alive. Otherwise, even if I simulate his appearance, my aura cannot become his aura!"

"Understood!"

Tang Ku suddenly smiled, "Since that's the case, we can start settling accounts..."

As he spoke, Tang Ku shook his shoulders, and the green chains on his body shattered into pieces and fell to the ground under Hooke's shocked gaze!
