Big Capitalist

The night in the Leo family's territory is quiet and peaceful.

Pete and Kanna didn't know that not long ago, the territory had just experienced a thrilling "War of Gods". Their ancestor tried to kick away the coffin lid to be resurrected, and even planned to rob his son Merlin's body.

Merlin didn't plan to tell his parents about this. After all, they were old and Merlin didn't want them to worry about it.

In an empty and pale world, Merlin slowly woke up.

He was thinking in a daze, why am I here if I am not sleeping and resting?

Everything around seemed so unreal, lifeless, and so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

At this moment, Selene suddenly appeared beside Merlin without any warning, which startled Merlin. He subconsciously took a step back and asked cautiously: "Selene, where is this? Wasn't I sleeping in my room? You pulled me into your consciousness space?"

Selene shook her head and explained, "It has nothing to do with me. It was the [Dream Entering] within your soul that pulled you into the dream world."

"Dream world?" Merlin had heard this word from Scarlett several times before, and remembering some of Ysera's previous words, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "So, we are dreaming?"

"That's right." Selene nodded and continued, "The so-called dream world is actually the realm of consciousness of the Azer Continent, and Ysera is the master here."

"Damn, is all this Ysera's conspiracy? What is she going to do to me?" Merlin felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Ysera's conspiracy? Hasn't she already threatened you openly, saying she would kill you in the dream world?" Selene looked at Merlin helplessly.

"Kill me in the dream world? Is it possible to kill people in dreams?" Merlin widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Of course." Selene said seriously, "The you in the dream are a manifestation of mental and spiritual power. If you are killed, it will cause damage to your mind and soul."

"Wouldn't that put me in great danger?!" Merlin's heart tightened as he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Selene nodded first, then shook her head.

"What do nodding and shaking your head mean?" Merlin was confused by Selene's ambiguous attitude.

"If it were an ordinary guy, or even a demigod-level being, encountering such a thing would indeed be dangerous, but you are different."

"How am I different?" Merlin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Selene looked at Merlin seriously and said, "I have said more than once that you are a projection of the higher world. Your soul cannot be shaken by the gods of this world."

"Does this mean my soul is extremely powerful?" Merlin's heart moved.

"Powerful beyond your imagination," Selene said affirmatively.

Merlin touched his chin and asked curiously, "Compared to Ysera and you?"

"Others' souls restrict their bodies, but your body restricts your soul. If there were no such restriction, you could defeat all the gods in the entire Aize continent."

"Then will I become invincible if I abandon my physical body?" Merlin's eyes lit up and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Selene shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. There are probably several possibilities. The first possibility is that you're invincible as you said. Another possibility is that your soul is too powerful. Once released, it will become a being similar to an ancient god. Of course, you will still be you, but the world of Aize Continent cannot bear your soul, and it will be polluted. Of course, there is also the possibility that you will be expelled from the world and return to your previous world?"

"I have a very strange feeling. Could it be that I am the evil demon from outer space?"

Merlin smacked his lips, smiled bitterly, and said, "For the sake of peace in this world, I'd better try not to die."

"Selene, then tell me, what level of existence am I in the dream world." Merlin looked at Selene with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Selene thought for a moment and said, "You're probably someone with maxed-out defense but almost no offensive power. Anyway, nothing Ysera does can harm you."

"Ah, then I don't have to worry at all!" Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Just when Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed as if an invisible force wrapped around him like a silk thread, making him clearly feel as if he was locked.

Selene said solemnly, "Ysera has found the direction of your dream and is guiding you. From now on, every time you meditate or sleep, you will enter this world."

"Does this sound bad?" Merlin frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

Selene shook her head and explained, "Actually, for magicians, this isn't entirely a bad thing. The dream world is the Azer Continent, or rather, the realm of the planet's will. Entering it for rest and training will purify your magic power and strengthen your connection with the world. In short, it has many benefits."

Merlin curled his lips, a look of doubt on his face: "I don't believe Ysera would be so nice to me."

Selene sneered and said, "Of course not. She did this to locate you and then have her descendants hunt you down until they kill you completely and take back the power to enter dreams."

"So vicious? But, as you said, if I max out my defense, I should be fine." Although Merlin was a little nervous, he still encouraged himself.

Selene smiled helplessly and offered an analogy: "In this world, you are like a human, and the rest of us are paramecium. Would you be killed by a paramecium? Even if there were 100 million of them?"

"Haha, this is invincible!" Merlin couldn't help laughing out loud, and his mood suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

At this moment, Merlin saw a flash of light before his eyes, and the scenery around him changed instantly.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself suddenly on top of a pyramid.

This pyramid is towering into the clouds. Its body is made of huge black stones. The surface of the stones is engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Merlin looked down, and the scene below made him gasp.

Densely packed giant dragons and dragon-blooded creatures covered the entire earth, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The dragons came in all shapes and sizes. Some were as massive as mountains, their wingspans brimming with energy, their scales gleaming with a metallic sheen, reflecting a dazzling array of light in the sunlight. Others were smaller yet incredibly fast, darting through the swarm like a flash of lightning. Their eyes, like enormous gemstones, radiated a cold and fierce light as they stared down Merlin at the top of the pyramid, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Those creatures with dragon blood also have various forms. Some look like humans but have dragon scales and horns, and hold weapons shining with magical light; others look like various strange beasts, but are surrounded by the unique pressure of the dragon clan.

They lined up neatly behind the giant dragon, like a well-trained army, emitting bursts of low roars. The sounds gathered together, like rolling thunder, making the air buzz and even the pyramid tremble slightly.

Such a shocking scene made Merlin truly feel Ysera's determination, and a difficult "hunt" seemed to be about to begin.
