Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Pingjing City.

Yang Fan stood at the top of the high Pingjing Tower, the scent of volcanic ash becoming more intense at the tip of his nose.

The volcanic ash had already obscured half the sky, and looking from the downtown area, Mount Taifu, which was still erupting, was completely invisible.

Small particles of dust continuously floated down from the sky, and in the central area of Pingjing City, there were barely any people to be seen, though it must be said that Ying Sang’s official evacuation efficiency was indeed quite high.

Yang Fan looked down, feeling a slight trace of nostalgia within his heart.

More than two years ago, in order to obtain a type of superpower, he had secretly stowed away in the cargo hold of a passenger plane to reach the Ying Sang Kingdom.

At the time, he had thrown the top of the tower into Pingjing Bay, which had startled the superpower user organization of the Ying Sang, the Blade of the Emperor.

Later, he assembled a few animal companions and had a fierce fight with the Ying Sang superpower users at Pingjing Tower, acquiring several types of superpowers.

Especially that formidable tiger companion, which had indeed left a deep impression on the Ying Sang people.

According to intelligence from the Jiuzhou Legion, the Ying Sang people searched everywhere for the tiger’s tracks, spending a full year before they gave up.

The missing top of Pingjing Tower has now been repaired.

Due to the Ying Sang people’s sensitive and fragile pride, they even went so far as to use more durable materials.

At this moment.

Yang Fan looked around, comparing it with Sato Taiichi’s memories, and successfully recognized the location of the temple.

The temple is called the White Antler Deer Temple.

In the entire Ying Sang Kingdom, various deities were as numerous as cattle, so there were plenty of well-known and obscure temples.

After the Age of Calamity arrived, the temples did not decline but rather became increasingly prosperous, as the fear of calamity drove more and more Ying Sang people to seek psychological comfort from the ethereal gods.

Some Ying Sang people, who awakened superpower traits, mingled in this industry, using the names of deities to fleece money and toy with innocent women, with many such cases being exposed on the internet.

One case even briefly became a hot topic on Great Xia’s online platform, where a young monk had, within a short year and a half, under the guise of exorcising evil spirits, toyed with over a thousand Ying Sang women, averaging two women per day, which was simply astonishing.

As for the White Antler Deer Temple.

As its name suggests, the deity worshiped at this temple was an animal god, specifically a deer god with white antlers.

Sato Taiichi came to Pingjing to visit a long-unseen friend who happened to live next to the White Antler Deer Temple, and the two went to the temple to pray for blessings.

In the corner of the temple’s main hall stood a weapon rack, holding a dusty katana.

At that time, Sato Taiichi walked up to the rack, glanced at the katana a few times, then walked away.

Yang Fan had a hypothesis about this: "This unremarkable katana might just be one of the containers of the Ying Sang World Will.

"Among the various world wills of Canglan Star, Xiaoya’s power is significantly ahead and even possesses the ability to descend outside of Great Xia.

"The world wills of surrounding countries are all trembling in fear of Xiaoya, afraid of being discovered, so they dare not easily expose themselves.

"The Ying Sang World Will sensed an impending earthquake from the southern ocean trench, which would cause many Ying Sang deaths, yet it chose not to select a Ying Sang superpower user but randomly picked a passerby.

"Sato Taiichi became the lucky one, dreaming of a tsunami outbreak night after night, with a strong desire to change his destiny, so he would undoubtedly report the dream realm.

"This method minimizes the exposure risk of the container, but sadly the katana never imagined that my prophetic dream realm could glimpse into the future."

Yang Fan stepped forward, with ripples appearing around him, as his whole figure vanished.

The top of Pingjing Tower stood quietly for a while before suddenly beginning to drop metal dust.

Tiny particles, the size of fine sand, were blown by the wind to the ground below.

Initially, not much metal dust fell, but as time went on, more and more fell, becoming as thick as fog half a minute later.

A mere light step could transform a pile of metal components, weighing thousands of tons, into powdery debris.

This was exactly the terrifying effect of the Elemental Spirit.

The vast majority of early-stage knights, over 95% by ratio, could not achieve this degree even if they exhausted their full power.

Yet Yang Fan could easily do it.

On the ground.

A convoy evacuating residents happened to pass by here.

Some Ying Sang people looked up at this landmark of Pingjing City, just in time to witness the metal dust drifting like mist in the wind, leaving all of them dumbfounded.

Two more seconds passed.

The tower top, dozens of meters high, had its structure compromised and began to slowly topple.

"Masaka!"

"Oh no!"

Exclamations of surprise echoed one after another.

"Boom!"

Along with an extremely dull cracking sound, the tower top plummeted downwards with a tremendous crash.

One of the symbols of Pingjing City had once more fallen.

Great Xia.

The Glory Super Train continued to speed across the land of Great Xia.

This luxury carriage had a five-meter-wide panoramic glass window, hence providing an unexpectedly stunning view.

On the glass surface was a privacy coating, making it impossible to see inside from the outside, which was naturally to protect the privacy of important figures.

Yang Fan and his girlfriend spent most of their time sitting by the viewing window, savoring various delicacies while chatting.

By now, the train had entered the western region, and the scenery outside the window had changed.

The most significant difference was that many more mountains could be seen.

Most areas were barren, as a year-long cold wave calamity had wiped out the landmark vegetation of the past.

Yet life remained resilient.

In a few places, patches of green could be seen, emerging as the climate warmed.
