It sounds like a Pinocchio drink or a regional name, but it's actually an event.

Because the people of Sumeru suddenly 'learned' to dream, dreams have become a hot topic in Sumeru.

This "Dream Time" is where everyone gets together to talk about the dreams they've had.

They also want to invite travelers to play the role of 'Duke of Zhou' (a legendary figure associated with dreams) and help them interpret their dreams.

The people of Fontainebleau were amused; wasn't this just their 'tea party'?

They were appreciating tea, while the Sumeru people were appreciating dreams, but in the end, they were pretty much the same; the main topic was still casual conversation.

They were indeed quite idle. For example, at the "Dream Moment" event, someone asked a traveler how to dream of 'becoming a slime'.

He was so tired of being human that he didn't want to be human anymore and wanted to be a carefree slime.

That's why the slime doesn't read books, otherwise it would definitely complain. Do you think the slime is carefree?

Then you haven't encountered those adventurers who check in every day to eliminate you, haven't encountered that strange floating object that makes your mouth water just by looking at you, and haven't seen the chef whose eyes are gleaming with gold.

Life is tough, the slime sighs.

This person's request was somewhat inexplicable, but Paimon had indeed dreamed of becoming a slime and began sharing his success story.

She said she dreamed of wind slimes being shot and blown up, grass slimes being pulled by grass, ice slimes being made into drinks, and rock slimes being beaten up by forest pigs.

She had dreamed about it many times, but none of them had a happy ending, and those who heard them simply gave up on becoming a slime.

Speaking of slimes, Seno had an idea. Everyone knows that slimes produce slime after they die, and it is sticky.

Just then, someone else wanted to become a slime and experience 'life as a slime,' so Seno came up with a lame joke.

Do you know why slimes are always unhappy?

This statement prompted everyone to think: why are they unhappy? It seems that all the slime experiences in Paimon's dream were reasons for unhappiness.

Are you asking a serious question? Or is it going to be another lame joke?

It's a dry joke, Sino explained: "because they find life too 'clingy'."

Farusan blinked, suddenly finding the joke somewhat amusing.

The pun "sticky" is really clever. It refers to the physical stickiness of slimes, and also reflects the emotional stickiness under the pressure of life. It's hilarious!

An epistemologist liked the post, but that wasn't what Sino wanted, because she didn't like it because it was funny...

He wanted something funny, not something interesting!

It's funny to like a joke not because it's funny.

Seno was eager to tell another story, but Tinari covered his mouth, signaling everyone to continue reading and ignore him.

Another character appears in the book, asking how he can have a dream like a 'serial drama', as he also wants to dream about yesterday's events.

Yesterday, he dreamed of his wife and spoke to her again after a long time.

The atmosphere suddenly became much heavier, and Paimon and the Traveler gave serious advice.

However, dreams are uncontrollable. Aside from Nasita, perhaps the only thing that can be done is dreaming of Mizuki.

Just then, Nasita actually arrived, appearing as the one asking the question.

Naxi asked the travelers, "My question is, why didn't you invite me when you came to such an interesting place?"

She's a master of dreams, so how could she possibly miss an event like "A Moment to Savor Dreams"?

This question really brought out the playful side of the friends, making everyone feel like they and Nasita were old friends.

Unfortunately, this kind of friendship is something that only old friends who have been reading together can feel. The people in the story don't have it; they only feel nervous when facing the gods.

This is the Great Auspicious Wisdom Lord of the Great Good Dharma! But to the traveler, she is just a cute little grass.

Chapter 653: Being young is good, just fall asleep

The once lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and everyone became too nervous to speak.

This brings us to the traveler's advantageous position; as a being from beyond the heavens, the gods would treat her as an extraordinary being.

Ordinary people, unaware of the traveler's identity, simply treat her as a well-known "ordinary person," and can get along with her without feeling nervous.

Therefore, travelers can integrate well no matter where they are, living up to the reputation of the Teyvat succubus.

Narcida was heartbroken at not becoming a succubus. She just wanted to chat and discuss things with everyone. Why didn't anyone ask her why? She didn't even look fierce!

Am I no longer your cute little grass? Grass, I'll be sad.

Nasita, head bowed, said, "The atmosphere now is like water in a container; there's more conformity, but the freedom of being in a river is gone."

"I just want to be a drop of water, not some unfeeling container."

Let me translate Narcissus's witty metaphor: If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have come! Now it seems like the younger sister is in the wrong.

Yes, she's being sulky, and she's adorable.

In the illustration, Naxida is pouting and looking downcast, as if the words "please comfort me" are written all over her face.

The Great Tree King's memories are hazy, but they do not affect Nasita's personality; she remains the same deity who longs to fit in yet is somewhat nervous.

She wanted to fit in with everyone, but she wasn't the only one who was nervous; because of her status, others were nervous just talking to her.

Both sides were very nervous, which led to the current awkward situation.

Nasida is not good at communicating with people, and she did not expect that this would be the result after she mustered up her courage. It was inevitable that she would have a disagreement.

Fortunately, there was a traveler nearby who strongly recommended it, acting as a lubricant between gods and mortals, encouraging others to communicate with the gods.

"Soft Man," the one who wanted to become a slime earlier, was the nickname Paimon gave him.

Now he's asking questions. This time he wants to be a sparrow or a little fish; he just doesn't want to be human anymore.

He had this thought entirely because real life was too boring; every day was just work, as if he were trapped in a time loop.

But with his mindset, even if he turned into an animal, it wouldn't make a difference, because he's trapped not in his body but in his mind.

They were comfortable living in their comfort zone, but worried about the unknown consequences of breaking out of it, and that's how things turned out.

Even if you become an animal, you'll eventually fall into a cycle of hunting, sleeping, and daydreaming.

Therefore, Nasita's advice to first try to find something new and gradually change one's comfort zone is quite reasonable.

Mizuki gave it a thumbs up, perhaps people who are good at dreaming are also good at being psychological counselors.

This advice was intended for 'software people', but readers have benefited greatly from it.

We are all ordinary people, and we are all 'imprisoned' in this time loop. Sometimes we feel that what binds us is life, but when we think about it carefully, it seems to be our mindset.

Because of the pressures of life, we can't break out of our comfort zone, but at least we can find some novelty in our lives. Why didn't I think of this before?

I've decided. I'll at least take a different route to work tomorrow. Maybe I'll run into Zhongli, the famous Liyue street urchin, if I take a different route.

As long as you keep your mind sharp, there are always more solutions than problems!

The next difficulty he faces is what I mentioned earlier: he dreams of his wife, which is a way of remembering someone who has passed away.

The question of the deceased is rather serious, and Nasita fell into thought, organizing her thoughts.

The traveler, looking at the dazed Nasita, thought: "(Is she reminiscing about ████...?)"

"No, she's already forgotten."

It instantly caught the reader's attention: Who is this '████'?

Why would she be mentioned when talking about people who have passed away? Why would she be forgotten?

Confused, puzzled, and somewhat saddened, even Nasita, who knew some of the secrets, turned her gaze to the Great Tree King.

The Tree King sat next to Nasita; she had just been helping Nasita with official business, and now they were reading together.

It feels like all that's missing is Nasita sitting in the arms of the Great Tree King, making it a picture of a mother and daughter.

The Tree King knew that '████' referred to her, but it's estimated that not many people in Teyvat still remember this information now.

Aside from those from outer space, only a few other people have been informed.

After relinquishing his heavy responsibility, the Great Tree King did not particularly expect others to know about his sacrifice.

More than anything, she wanted to spend as much time as possible reading in the library.

Acquiring knowledge through reading was quite novel for the Great Tree King, and she became extremely addicted to it.

As for whether or not to remind everyone of her, the Great Compassion Tree King felt there was no need; she was very satisfied with her current life.

Spending my days in the library, my evenings reading prophecy books, occasionally helping out with small plants, and going out to check on the people of Mount Sumeru—it's wonderful that no one bothers me.

None of the retired deities lived as comfortably as she did, because their identities were exposed, and seeing them had some impact on others.

But she has no objection if Lin Qiu needs it, it's just a pity that it will be too troublesome to go out again then.

Returning to the story, Nasita offered her advice.

[Nasita: "Even if you keep repeating those beautiful memories, it only amplifies the emptiness of reality."]

"If she were still alive, she certainly wouldn't want to see you like this, would she?"

Nasita could fulfill his wishes through dreams, but dreams are ultimately just dreams, and being immersed in them is not a good thing.

Yumezuki Mizuki understands this very well; that's what she does.

Moreover, the other person was not in a good state and could no longer distinguish between dreams and reality, even saying that he had seen his wife in reality.

In order to help the other person alleviate his longing for Nasita, the traveler decided to follow him to the place he mentioned, a mountaintop where he had seen his wife.

Strangely, Ellerman fell asleep as soon as he reached the top of the mountain, and even sleepwalked. No wonder he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams; he had suddenly entered a 'dream' from reality.

Nasita realized the seriousness of the problem; Sumeru seemed to be experiencing a phenomenon of 'dream overflow'.

Yumezuki also realized the seriousness of the situation. This buffet must be so delicious, no, I mean, it must be so dangerous!

If you suddenly enter a dream in the wild, it can be very dangerous; you might become food for monsters.

Sure enough, in another wilderness area, a person named Kathy also suddenly fell into a dream.

Readers were puzzled: why was the traveler unharmed despite such an intense 'dream spillover'?

This unscientific!

"That would be great. If only Shadow had Buyer's abilities, I'd like to take a vacation too."

Chapter 654 Existence and Nothingness

This person, like Ellerman, dreamed of the person he longed for day and night.

That was her teacher, and also her family member. He left behind a seed and went to investigate the Abyss.

"Towards the stars and the abyss" is not just a slogan, but the goal of countless adventurers.

The teacher cares about Kassia, but she has to go because only by investigating and understanding the Abyss can she protect more people.

Then, he disappeared without a trace, and they were separated forever.

If you dream of someone you long for but don't exist in reality, and the dream seems even more beautiful than reality, should you wake up from the dream?

Why does life fall asleep? Dreams are so beautiful, why can't we stay asleep forever?

I suggest discussing this issue at the Pinocchio Grand Stage. If you have a dream, come to the Pinocchio Grand Stage.

At least Kassia's teacher hoped that she could face reality.

Kassia's teacher told her that the seeds would return once they bloomed, and Kassia had been taking good care of them, but they hadn't bloomed after so many years.

It promised to come back after it blooms, so why won't it bloom?

Nasita realized the reason: the seed was cultivated by the teacher himself, and it would never bloom.

In other words, the 'teacher' knew the danger from the beginning; she went there with the determination to die.

Nasita couldn't bring herself to say that the twenty years of waiting had been meaningless, so she asked the traveler how to respond.
