Chapter 1527 - 1081: Gamble_3
The Dream Realm is completely dominated by her, and most cultivators think they got lucky, regaining a new opportunity after being abandoned as puppets. They know the situation in this Little World is special, but they are unaware of their true condition.
If nothing is concealed, those cultivators who already have tragic enough lives would be unable to accept the reality gap, which would in turn affect the stability of the Dream Realm.
The few cultivators who are fully aware are all laid-back and easy-going.
If you ask them for their opinion, they’d absolutely leave it up to Yan Zheng to handle, making the inquiry pointless. However, it was only because she discovered their personalities that showed limited fluctuations in Soul Power that she revealed the truth; otherwise, it would have been better to keep it a secret.
"Should I take the gamble?" Yan Zheng was fretting and scratching her head as she looked out at the soon-to-be-lit sky.
If not, they could live peacefully for a year or two, but as Demonic Energy invades again, they’d die one by one in despair;
If they gamble and land on the winning half, naturally, everyone would rejoice—they’d migrate to a safe Earth Realm and live peacefully in the Dream City until Soul Power is exhausted and they die;
If they hit the losing half, their days of happiness would end immediately, with the worst outcome being all souls staying alone in the Puppet Body, waiting for Demonic Energy to invade and corrode them to death.
"Pa!"
The candle flame burst, and one could vaguely hear the lively morning atmosphere with roosters crowing and birds chirping outside the main building.
Eldest Sister Wang from Bluestone Lane was cleaning fish that had been kept in clear water for three days, preparing to cook her signature fish soup; Uncle Fu was concerned about the two ewes about to give birth to lambs and wanted to check them early; Niu the boatman was thinking about replacing his bamboo pole; and Qin Suyang, who narrowly escaped death last night, was lying in bed snoring, dreaming happily...
This is a Dream Realm, but also a vibrant world where countless souls are united.
Yan Zheng, who hadn’t slept all night, finally made up her mind, got up and knocked on Jiang Yuan’s room door upstairs, "Mr. Jiang, today I am inquiring about clues regarding the Puppet’s Heart, would you trouble to relocate us to a safe Earth Realm?"
Finally, the mutually beneficial cooperation had resulted in a positive outcome, Jiang Yuan naturally agreed readily.
"If we are relocating, why not split you from the useless discarded items entirely?" he patiently explained, "Identify the sealed puppets containing souls, and gather them together. Firstly, it ensures a smooth and unified transfer to the Personal Space; secondly, City Lord Yan won’t need to expend excessive power to keep them peacefully in the Dream City without interference.
The unused discarded items without sealed souls can all be packed and transferred to another Personal Space, facilitating the dispatch of personnel to look for clues about the Puppet’s Heart. How’s that?"
Separating completely ensures the Dream City isn’t easily disturbed, which is naturally great.

As for those discarded items, presumably among them are plenty of valuable Refining Materials that can be seen as the compensation Mr. Jiang provides for securing the Earth Realm.
"I have another request, though I feel impolite to ask." Yan Zheng pondered before responding: "Following your arrangement, after separating us, if you find any usable, decent puppets among the discarded items, could you find a Puppet Master to help transfer my soul into one?"
She wryly smiled, "Once you see what houses my soul, you’ll understand, no matter how much Spirit Stone or Immortal Jade I receive, it’s immovable. If I can obtain a complete puppet, and a suitable power source, I could both maintain the Dream Realm using the Nightmare Technique; and act independently in your service.
Far better than being stuck in this Dream Realm until my cultivation is exhausted, unable ever to see the real world again."
