Chapter 602 - 601, Fear of the Incubus_1
Chapter 602: Chapter 601, Fear of the Incubus_1
Christine continued, "You are very strong, able to comprehend the Law of Destruction in such a short time. Dimitre said you are the second strongest person after Bai Yun."
"He really wasn’t wrong."
"You know Bai Yun as well?"
"Yes, his Dreamspace is also very strong. However, the moment you enter his Dreamspace, he will immediately discover you."
"So you’re saying there’s still a gap between him and me?"
"Actually, the gap isn’t that large. You haven’t become a true Divine yet; you’re just a Demigod. Once you become a Divine, you should be about the same."
Christine looked at Jiang Chen with approval, then turned to Daphne. She smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your three hundred laws of dreams. A trifling number like that, I don’t even care about it."
Daphne wanted to say, but I am interested in your seventy million Rules of Dream...
Jiang Chen, puzzled, asked, "Then what is your purpose in coming here?"
"To see if you are as Dimitre described. I just want to get to know you and be friends."
Jiang Chen smiled. "Actually, I’d like to be friends with you too."
The martial world isn’t all about fighting and killing...
Daphne asked, "How did you obtain seventy million Rules of Dream?"
"Through slaughter, of course. I spent hundreds of years in the City of Sin and encountered many Incubuses possessing the Rule of Dream. They wanted to devour me, and I wanted to devour them."
"Besides that, I slayed Incubus Beasts and acquired the Rule of Dream within them."
"The Rule of Dream in your body must have been obtained by slaying Incubus Beasts, though they were immature. A fully grown Incubus Beast is comparable to a Divine."
Daphne quickly asked, "Where can they be found?"
"Naturally, on the Battlefield of the Gods, and also in the Dream Space."
Daphne looked confused. "The Dream Space?"
"You don’t know? The Dreamspace is actually a separate dimension. Inside the Dreamspace, there are many Incubus Beasts; it’s where they live."
"Besides Incubus Beasts, there are other Abnormal Beasts that also possess the Rule of Dream."
Daphne quickly asked, "Where exactly is it?"
"It’s in the deepest part of your heart. Every Incubus can feel it. If you can’t, it only means you’re not qualified enough."
Daphne was bewildered. Not qualified enough? Exactly where is it? Her expression changed. Could it be...
Christine laughed. "It seems you’ve figured it out. Yes, it’s that place—the most mysterious place for an Incubus, and also the place you fear."
"They say Incubuses are the source of others’ fears, but Incubuses also have places they fear. That place is the Dreamspace."
"When you have enough courage to push open that door, you will enter the Dreamspace."
Christine generously shared this information with Daphne.
They were of the same profession, the same race.
Christine looked at Daphne as an elder would a junior, patiently mentoring her. She had no intention of devouring Daphne’s Rule of Dream.
Jiang Chen was puzzled. Do you Incubuses have your own special place for killing monsters? You have it too good!
Christine said, "But be careful. You are still very weak and can’t just enter the Dreamspace. Moreover, death in the Dreamspace is true death, unless someone accompanies you."
Jiang Chen was stunned. Was she talking about me with that last part?
Daphne nodded. "Thank you."
"We are all Incubuses, and I hope you become a Divine too. I don’t want to devour you, but you must be careful inside the Dreamspace."
"How will your safety be ensured? Once you enter the Dreamspace, you will lose contact with your physical body. You won’t know anything that’s happening in the outside world."
"If your physical body dies, you will also die."
"You cannot afford either kind of death. When you enter the Dreamspace, it’s best to have someone protecting your physical body."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen understood that entering that mysterious space was extremely dangerous.
Daphne asked, "Were your Rules of Dream obtained from there?"
Christine nodded.
"Can you take me there next time?"
"I can’t. We are both Incubuses, so I naturally have to enter my own Dream Space; we can’t go together. However, you can take Jiang Chen with you. He’s very strong and should be able to help you."
"I understand."
"Well, I have to go now."
「The next second...」
Christine disappeared, completely withdrawing from Jiang Chen’s Dream Realm.
And they both opened their eyes.
Daphne looked at Jiang Chen and smiled. "Come fight monsters with me to obtain the Rule of Dream."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Didn’t you hear her? Entering your so-called Dream Space is very dangerous. It severs the connection with your physical body. Once I enter the Dream Space with you, how can my safety be ensured?"
"You have to understand, I won’t help you without absolute assurance of my safety."
Jiang Chen flatly refused. What a joke. What kind of relationship do we even have? We’re just friends with benefits, right? Even if our relationship is a tiny bit closer than that, I’m still not going to risk my life to help you fight monsters and obtain the Rule of Dream!
Daphne said, "Why don’t we just find a safe place then?"
"Where is it safe? No place on the Land of Sin is safe."
"Then let’s leave the Land of Sin."
"Forget it! Nowhere is safe unless we find someone to protect us. Who do you suggest?"
So Jiang Chen refused. He couldn’t entrust his physical body to just anyone. No one was worthy of his complete trust. Even if someone seemed trustworthy, their strength was also a factor. If they were just some third-rate fighter, forget it.
Daphne suggested, "Find Bai Yun."
Jiang Chen: ???
"One Sword, Bai Yun’s disciple, is also quite powerful."
Jiang Chen: ???
"Or we could look for another formidable Wanderer. Aren’t you the Master of Sword Pavilion? With so many subordinates, just pick one."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "Are you crazy, or am I? Bai Yun is busy. Qi Sha’s whereabouts are unknown. And don’t even get me started on One Sword—I don’t even know how strong he is."
Daphne thought of someone. "Er Xin! Yes, that Er Xin fellow. Doesn’t he always have an Incubus with him? Trena! She’s an Incubus too!"
Jiang Chen was speechless. Forget it! To find them, do you even have their contact information?
It seemed Daphne actually did. Don’t forget, they were both Incubuses from the Defiled God Continent; naturally, they had ways to contact each other.
「Right then...」
Daphne immediately contacted Trena.
「...」
「In Dimitre Ancient City.」
Trena looked at the message. "Daphne contacted me."
Er Xin asked, "The Incubus with Jiang Chen?"
"Yes. She wants us to enter the Dream Space together to gather the Power of Laws. She needs someone to protect their physical bodies."
"Jiang Chen is going too?"
"Yes."
Er Xin said, "It’s your decision. Jiang Chen is still trustworthy. If you want to become Divine, you must go to the Dreamspace."
Trena nodded. "I wonder how strong Jiang Chen is."
"He’s very strong. With me protecting you and Daphne, Jiang Chen can take you both. Or, if Jiang Chen protects you and me, then I can take you and Daphne. It’s the same either way."
