Dream world.

Shi Yu shook his head.

To him, it seemed like a lucid dream.

As expected, with intentional control, the stronger the mental power, the less likely one is to get lost in the dream.

Now, he could freely control his actions and state.

However, everything was premised on not exceeding his original power.

"Eleven, let's go find your big sister first." After confirming that he could break free from the dream at any time, Shi Yu immediately said to Eleven.

"Ying!" Eleven nodded emphatically.

Shi Yu, with Eleven, went straight out of the barracks, and then fell into deep thought.

This was clearly a huge military camp, but at this moment, the camp was extremely desolate, with remnants and wounded soldiers everywhere, and morale was extremely low. The scorching sun shone on the arid land.

Perhaps because of the dream, Shi Yu was in the best condition among these people.

"Go there." Shi Yu saw many Iron-eating Beasts in this army.

Besides Iron-eating Beasts, there were also tigers, leopards, and other beasts, all with strange appearances.

They seemed to be exotic beasts from the ancient Earth era, which Shi Yu had seen in ancient books.

He and Eleven came to a wounded soldier leaning against the wall, who, along with his Iron-eating Beast mount, were in a dying state. He and Eleven found that there weren't many strong pets here, but the soldiers were all strong and sturdy, with each one's physical strength comparable to a demigod-level fierce beast.

This made Shi Yu ponder slightly, feeling that his "Shi Yu Beast" state seemed to be somewhat similar to these people, both with super strong physical strength.

However, Shi Yu also felt other special powers on them, not just physical strength.

"Eleven, help him heal a bit." At Shi Yu's request, Eleven used Light Control to shine on the wounded soldier's wound. Soon, the semi-conscious soldier's condition improved a lot, and he weakly opened his eyes.

"A healer?" he murmured.

"Yes." Shi Yu nodded.

"We lost, we're defeated. Even if we recover, we can't turn the tide..." He weakly narrowed his eyes, groaning in pain, "But, we can still fight..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, because a violent thunderous drum sound suddenly rang out.

Shatter, shatter, shatter!!

Like thunder, the drum sound caused a high-pitched voice to be heard within this remnant army.

"The enemy is attacking, prepare for battle!!!"

Under the high-pitched voice, all the soldiers, regardless of their injuries, struggled to get up.

The soldier whom Shi Yu and Eleven had just healed was the same, his face fierce as he shouted, "Let's fight to the death!"

After saying that, he looked at his Iron-eating Beast. Under his gaze, the Iron-eating Beast immediately became surrounded by black and white light, directly transforming into a spear right before Shi Yu and Eleven's eyes, which the soldier grabbed in his hand.

"This is..." Shi Yu said, quickly looking around.

Some beast-like creatures that should have been mounts were, under the control of these remnant soldiers, all turning into weapons.

Swords, spears, sabers, halberds, armor, and large crossbows, nothing was missing. Of course, there were also those that did not change, being ridden by the soldiers.

Now, after wielding weapons, this group of remnant soldiers immediately looked like divine soldiers descended to earth, their aura greatly increased.

... Boom.

However, compared to the thunderous sound coming from afar, the morale here was still much weaker.

At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly filled with clouds, and within the clouds, light rain gradually fell, with the silhouette of a winged divine dragon faintly visible.

"Not good, it's Ying Long!!!"

Seeing this divine dragon's phantom, the remnant soldiers below were greatly alarmed.

"Chi You, will you not surrender?"

In the clouds behind the divine dragon, four figures appeared, three men and one woman riding the clouds and mist, appearing in the sky and shouting towards the remnant army below.

"Kill!!!"

At the same time, behind them, a vast army accompanied by war drums rushed towards the remnant army, a dark mass.

"Hahahaha." Accompanied by a loud laugh, a strong man, of unknown origin, watched the sky from the earth.

He had sword-like temples and horns on his head, and was accompanied by several divine beasts, one of which was the Iron-eating Beast familiar to Shi Yu.

Without saying a word, the strong man went up to meet the attack. That Iron-eating Beast, just like the other fierce beasts, transformed into a black demon blade in front of Shi Yu, which the strong man took in his hand, letting out a demon god-like roar.

Boom.

In the sky, the aura of Ying Long and the demon blade counteracted each other, instantly overturning the heavens and the earth. Under the protection of their leaders, the armies below also each charged towards the other.

"They're already fighting?" Shi Yu exclaimed in surprise, retreating repeatedly, naturally not having any intention of joining the battle.

He kept looking around to see if there were any "non-combatant soldiers" similar to himself, but found that he couldn't see any soldiers who seemed to be Senior Lin and Hua Hua.

"Wait..."

"I subconsciously assumed that everyone would enter the same dream, but it's also possible that everyone is entering different dream worlds." "So, it's reasonable that Senior Lin can't be found here. Eleven and I have a contract, but I don't have one with Senior Panda..."

Realizing this, Shi Yu looked at Eleven and said, "Let's find a safe place to watch the battle first."

"Awoo awoo." At this time, Eleven nodded frantically. In the sky, Ying Long controlled wind and rain, showing unstoppable power. To Eleven, it felt like a god of an era.

And the strong man wielding the demon blade transformed from the Iron-eating Beast was also very powerful, cleaving through the wind, rain, and sky with a single slash. The two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

With only Eleven by his side at the moment, Shi Yu couldn't really interfere in this level of battle.

After all, after breaking through to the god level, Eleven hadn't leveled up yet, and was only at the advanced god battle power level. Even with his strengthening, it was still far from surpassing the god battle power level.

"Troublesome."

Everyone was fighting, and Shi Yu only wanted to observe, not join in, but the soldiers on Ying Long's side didn't care about that.

Shi Yu's side was already at a disadvantage, with very few people. Soon, enemy soldiers locked onto Shi Yu and Eleven and came to attack directly.

"There are people over there!"

These people didn't control beasts, but displayed their own powerful auras, attacking with weapons.

"Eleven, take care of them." Shi Yu called out. Eleven nodded, using a thought to stun the opponents. One by one, the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor's army suddenly went white-eyed and foamed at the mouth, fainting to the ground.

... "Interesting, don't rush." Shi Yu took a deep breath, his eyes shining. He and Eleven were now delving into the power system mastered by Chi You's army in the dream world.

Although Shi Yu and Eleven didn't inherit the memories of these two dream phantoms, under their efforts to recall, and under their observation of the battles of other soldiers, some special feelings still allowed them to comprehend something.

Soon, they entered a state of "enlightenment."

The combination of Time Fruit, World Tree Fruit, and other powers in the cultivation fruit greatly enhanced the ability to learn in dreams.

When Shi Yu first saw the soldiers of Chi You's army transforming their pets into weapons, Shi Yu thought it was a type of Beast Taming talent.

On Blue Planet and King Star, there were also such Beast Taming talents that could turn pets into equipment like weapons and armor.

However, after careful identification, Shi Yu discovered the difference between the two. The ability mastered by Chi You's army should be more advanced.

Compared to the traditional weaponization Beast Taming talent, these beast soldiers of Chi You's army were more powerful. The weapon body integrated all the abilities of the pet, refining them into a divine weapon. Any casual strike was the ultimate mystery of the pet's skills combined and sublimated. In other words, if Shi Yu mastered the traditional weaponization talent and turned Eleven into a weapon, the skills of weapon Eleven wouldn't change much. Not only might they not be amplified, but they might also be restricted by the new form, unable to perfectly exert their original power.

However, the power of the soldiers of Chi You's army allowed the pets to integrate all their powers, forming a perfect divine weapon. Not only would the pets not be burdened by the form, but they could also make themselves stronger.

A single strike would be a fusion of multiple divine skills.

"Is this the true profound knowledge of the God of Weapons, the Lord of Weapons?" Shi Yu thought silently in his heart as he watched the two sides fighting. No wonder the myths and legends say that before obtaining Ying Long's help, the Yellow Emperor had already been defeated by Chi You nine times.

Although these remnant soldiers looked disheveled, they should all be elites of the Nine Li Tribe, otherwise they wouldn't be able to use this powerful supernatural power so skillfully.

[This ability, I must learn it.] Shi Yu made up his mind in his heart.

This skill was very strong. Mastering it would be equivalent to allowing the pet to fuse all its skills into a super combination skill, which would definitely be a qualitative change in strength.

This ability was several times more powerful than the Four Saint equipment worn by Shi Yu Beast.

The Four Saint equipment was like addition.

And this God of Weapons skill was like multiplication.

Currently, Chi Tong's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was the most luxurious combination skill in the team, consisting of a total of 8 divine skills. In this combination skill, Chi Tong used all of his skills, so the power was naturally unquestionable.

However, apart from Chi Tong, the strongest combination skills of the other pets couldn't use all their skills. But with this supernatural power, every pet should be able to do something similar to Chi Tong, which would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their strength.

However, at the moment, Shi Yu and Eleven could only try to learn with difficulty through "seeing," "remembering," and "enlightenment." Without systematic teaching, it was still too difficult to learn in this chaotic battle.

"Ying!" Eleven summoned the Bagua Dou Dou Bear clones to protect himself and Shi Yu while they comprehended and learned.

He didn't know how long it had been, but the sounds gradually died down. Except for Shi Yu and the others, all the soldiers of Chi You's army seemed to have been annihilated. In the sky, Chi You, who was fighting Ying Long, had also been decapitated.

Amidst the clouds and rain, what fell was now blood rain.

"I am not willing—" In the sky, Chi You, who had been decapitated, could still roar. His expression was tragic, and he was obviously unable to accept his defeat.

Under his roar, his strong obsession with victory even rewrote the rules, forcing Ying Long and the other divine beasts to retreat, not daring to approach.

"Hmm? Wait, there are still people."

At this moment, the people in the clouds seemed to have discovered Shi Yu and the others, and immediately ordered Ying Long to eliminate them.

"Roar!!" In the sky, the golden Ying Long swung its claws down. Shi Yu and Eleven suddenly opened their eyes.

"Damn it, it's too short, there's not enough time at all."

"Awoo!!!" Eleven condensed its strongest power, opening One Mind simultaneously to fight against it, but it was no match at all.

Soon, along with Shi Yu, they, like the other soldiers of Chi You's army, were all killed by a single blow.

"Hoo—"

In reality, Shi Yu and Eleven, who had just had a long dream, suddenly opened their eyes, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling the weakness in their bodies, even weaker than after leveling up many times.

It seemed that maintaining a lucid dream consumed a lot of energy.

"You're awake." Next to him, a gentle voice came. Shi Yu looked over and found that Senior Panda had woken up earlier than him. She was also mentally exhausted, covered in sweat, and obviously frightened by the scenes in the dream.

"Senior, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"That's good."

Shi Yu said, "Do you remember what you experienced in the dream?"

Senior Panda said, "Well, I seemed to have become part of the logistics unit in an army, taking care of the Iron-eating Beasts. Then, I heard a drum sound, the war started, and Hua Hua and I were no match for those soldiers. We were quickly killed, and then I woke up."

"Is that so..." Shi Yu said, "Did you see a battle between a dragon and an Iron-eating Beast?"

"No," Senior Panda said, stunned.

"I understand." Shi Yu nodded.

"Ying ying ying!!!" At this time, Eleven was still sulking, obviously not convinced by the outcome of being crushed.

"It seems that the situations experienced by each person after entering the dream are different."

Shi Yu felt that what he had experienced should have been the final battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, with Ying Long helping the Yellow Emperor to kill Chi You.

At this time, Chi You's army was already collapsing, with little strength left.

But what Senior Panda experienced should have been the previous battles. By the time of Shi Yu, the logistics unit was long gone.

"Did you find anything useful?" Senior Panda asked, "I found that the Iron-eating Beast evolution system over there is different from ours. Besides, the human cultivation system seems to be different from ours."

... "Every soldier is very strong."

"Yes, I roughly know how this era relic was created," Shi Yu said.

Next, Shi Yu recounted his experiences in the relic to Senior Panda.

"The two sides of the war were the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, and the battle ended with Chi You's death."

"However, because this Chi You was very strong, he had an unwilling obsession with his own death. The obsession transformed into an era relic."

"Therefore, to prevent this relic from affecting the outside world, the way to crack the relic is to resolve Chi You's obsession and help him defeat the Ying Long that killed him in the obsession world."

"This..." Senior Panda was shocked and said, "Can it be done? Didn't you say that you and Eleven were instantly..."

"Ying ying ying!"

Shi Yu scratched his head and said, "That's not the main thing."

"The main thing is that this dream world is not simple. Although it's just the obsession of a strong person, the entire structure of the virtual world contains many inheritances from the previous era."

"Like the different evolution routes of the Iron-eating Beasts that you saw, the strange skills mastered by the soldiers may all be learnable."

"In the dream world, Eleven and I tried to learn the power system of the previous era, but we didn't succeed because of the short time."

"Of course, if we successfully resolve Chi You's obsession, we might be able to obtain even greater benefits, but it's not easy, even harder than what I said," Shi Yu said.

"Then what should we do next?" Senior Panda said.

"Of course, try to crack it," Shi Yu said, "Senior, are you still relatively clear-headed in the dream?"

"Yes," Senior Panda nodded.

Shi Yu said, "Like this, next, you enter the relic in your dreams once or twice a day. I will have Baby Ginseng provide you with enough World Tree Fruits, Cultivation Fruits, and mental nourishment."

"Help me as much as possible to collect useful information and the power system of the previous era in the relic world."

"Finally, pass your learning results to me through Su Su's Inheritance Water Droplet."

"What about you?" Senior Panda asked.

Shi Yu pondered and said, "Have you discovered that after we enter the dream world, our real strength can be brought in?"

"Although it's only a portion of the strength related to the Iron-eating Beasts," Shi Yu looked at Eleven.

"But it's already enough, so I'm wondering if I can improve my strength in the outside world and then re-enter the relic to see if I can defeat that Ying Long and crack the relic."

"I have a way to quickly improve Eleven's strength, but in that case, I won't be able to spare the time to enter the relic to explore in the short term. I need someone to help me enter the relic to collect information, so as not to waste too much time."

"Okay," Senior Panda didn't doubt that Shi Yu could do it. She said, "Then let's do as you say."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible. If you feel any discomfort in your body after entering the dream multiple times, stop at any time. But with Baby Ginseng's supplements, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Mm mm," Senior Panda said, "But I really didn't expect that the Iron-eating Beast Legion of the previous era would be so... strong."

"Of course," Shi Yu said, "But if Senior can gain anything, it should also be applicable to the Iron-eating Beast Legion of this era."

"That's right," Senior Panda's eyes lit up. Entering the relic to explore multiple times seemed to be an opportunity to increase her strength. If she and Hua Hua could also learn the power system of the previous era, she would definitely be able to achieve good results in the World Championships, and might not be worse than Senior Wu Di and Senior Lu.

"Wait, should I call Junior Bai and Senior Wu Di to explore together? In that case, the progress might be faster," Senior Panda said. "Senior Wu Di is fighting in the Conferred God Battle, and it's estimated that it will take another half a month to end. Junior Bai Xi's strength is similar to yours, so forget it," Shi Yu said, sounding poor. "Baby Ginseng also has to assist Eleven in cultivation, so there won't be enough supplements if there are too many explorers."

"Is that so," Senior Panda nodded, feeling the pressure increasing. Now, whether or not the exploration will yield results depends entirely on her. "Don't worry, I believe in you. You are the strongest when it comes to Iron-eating Beast breeding!"

"Don't be like that..."

"Seriously," Shi Yu said with a smile. If it weren't for the Skill Encyclopedia, he wouldn't be able to research so many Iron-eating Beast skills like Senior Panda's family.

Having raised Iron-eating Beasts for so long, Senior Panda had surpassed her predecessors and received all of Senior Ji Mengzhu's teachings. Her current experience in Iron-eating Beast breeding should be unmatched even by Wu Di.

After all, Wu Di's Iron-eating Beast was also assisted by Senior Ji Mengzhu back then.

"Let's go talk to Aunt Hua about the situation of the first exploration. It's estimated that the holiday at God Capital University will have to be extended. This battlefield relic is very dangerous. If it fully descends, the obsession might materialize the battlefield, causing great harm," Shi Yu said, exhaling.

He might have to ask Senior Kong Di to come and reinforce the relic's seal again. Let's see if we can resolve the obsession through the battles in the dream world first.

"Okay," Senior Panda said.

Next, Shi Yu decided to cooperate with Senior Panda to crack the relic. Senior Panda would take on side quests, trying to explore the power system of the Chi You Legion of the Nine Li Tribe from the previous era.

And Shi Yu would prepare for the main quest, seeing if he could eventually obtain benefits from Chi You's obsession by defeating Ying Long.

To be honest, in Shi Yu's opinion, the difficulty of this main quest was even greater than Su Su defeating the Abyss Overgod. After all, the strength displayed by that Ying Long in the dream world was comparable to the Overgod battle power.

It was almost impossible for Eleven to defeat it without a God of Era battle power.

Of course, it was difficult, but as long as Shi Yu had time, it shouldn't be a problem. After breaking through to the god level, Eleven hadn't started leveling up yet, and all of its divine skills were still below the proficiency level.

As long as all of its divine skills were leveled up to perfection, not to mention defeating the opponent, it should be able to spar with the opponent.

At that time, with the cooperation of Chi You's obsession, it might not lose.

And if all of its stats were leveled up to the perfect +47 state, although it wasn't yet a God of Era, with Eleven's skill quality and his own cooperation, it should be able to fight a God of Era.

... So in the end, to crack this relic, he had to level up again.

Somewhere in God Capital, Shi Yu found a place that was not affected by the relic and settled down.

He summoned Su Su and the others and said, "Su Su, don't eat the crown first. Let's assist Eleven in leveling up first."

"Ling!" Su Su looked at Shi Yu eagerly, asking if it couldn't enter the dream world?

If it could, it could solve that Ying Long!

"Ji!!" Worm also wanted to PK with that Ying Long. Qing Long, Ying Long, which was stronger?

It felt that Qing Long should be stronger. After all, one was at the cosmic level in the previous era, while Ying Long only seemed to have Overgod battle power.

But unfortunately, it couldn't enter Shi Yu's dream, which puzzled Worm.

"Awoo... (Don't do this.)" Eleven stood on Shi Yu's shoulder, protesting. This Ying Long was clearly its experience pack. It wouldn't be robbed of this too, right?

"The power of the era relic is so evil. If it could easily change the rules, King Star and the cosmos wouldn't have so many era relics that no one can crack."

"You must know that even cosmic overlords have era relics that they can't crack," Shi Yu said.

"Iya~" The pets all nodded. Okay, they looked at Eleven, then let's help Eleven level up first.

"Ying ying ying!!" Eleven bowed to each of its teammates.

Next, Shi Yu and Senior Panda both stayed near God Capital University and began their cooperation.

With Shi Yu's resource assistance, Senior entered the relic in her dreams day after day to explore it.

And Shi Yu leveled up in the outside world.

In this way, half a month passed in a flash. At this time, the Conferred God Battle on King Star should have ended.

Within Shi Yu's team, another powerful perfect god was born.

[Name]: Eleven

[Skills]:

[Divine Rank]: Yin-Yang Grindstone (Perfect), God of Fighting Body (Perfect), Bagua Clone (Perfect),

One Mind (Perfect+47), Light Control (Perfect), Dark Control (Perfect), Gold Control (Perfect), Star Refining (Perfect)

From an advanced god battle power half a month ago, with the assistance of a bunch of pets, Eleven directly leaped to have near God of Era battle power. Since Shi Yu mainly leveled up One Mind, this self-harm burst skill, maybe Eleven could now instantly have God of Era battle power.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. After Shi Yu temporarily completed a small goal, Senior Panda, who had been working hard to explore for half a month, finally gained something.

"Shi Yu!!" Lin Xiuzhu, wearing a panda suit, came to find Shi Yu in surprise and said, "I have a harvest."

"Are you there!"

"I, found the evolution route of Iron-eating Beasts in the previous era!!"
