Chapter 400 Quantum Dream Realm

Wang Zhifan stood in the dilapidated and deserted ruins of a huge city, next to a more than ten-story-high but severely decayed metal structure, and sensed that a certain existence was approaching him at high speed from a distance.

If it were under normal circumstances, he would at least be somewhat alert when facing such a situation, but he arrived at this world through the Badge of the Lord of the Universe, which meant that the power of time and space of the Badge of the Lord of the Universe could be exerted at will, so he knew that the visitor could not pose much threat to him.

After a while, a strange thing finally appeared in his sight through the ruins.

It was a creature that was much larger than a human being, perhaps as tall as a five-story building. It was pitch black with unstable flashes, floating silently on the surface, like a strange dark cloud that kept surging.

Its body was made up of a large amount of something that was not sure whether it was smoke or light. After getting two hundred meters close to Wang Zhifan, it quickly turned into a very bloated and terrifying image with two sharp claws. Without any communication, it attacked Wang Zhifan, trying to grab him tightly with its two huge claws.

"It's a very strange existence... It's not a living being, nor a mechanical body, and it doesn't even look like a spiritual body... Maybe it has the characteristics of being immune to multiple types of damage?"

When two huge black claws that looked like dark clouds grabbed at him, Wang Zhifan jumped back and dodged with ease. For him, who had already cultivated the power of wind and thunder through the Wind and Thunder Treading on the Sky Art, this level of attack pressure was no different from playing house.

As he jumped into the air, a rare Wolf-Slaying Blade immediately appeared in his hand. He then swung the blade steadily at the enemy. A seemingly simple but powerful blade light penetrated the huge and turbid body of the monster in front of him, causing a huge crack like a line of sky to appear on its body in an instant.

But such performance did not mean that the monster was defeated. In fact, it was split into two halves and then closed again in the blink of an eye. It rushed towards Wang Zhifan in the air again, still trying to grab him with its two huge black claws.

"There's no change in its aura... Immune to both physical and mental abilities? Well, ice attributes have no effect on it either."

After the first round of fighting, Wang Zhifan did not continue to attack with his sword. Instead, he used his lightness skills to dodge in the air, while mobilizing his epic ice source power to try to destroy the enemy. Unfortunately, there was no obvious effect. This enemy was neither a physical entity nor a common spiritual entity among virtual entities. Even the coldest power could not freeze it at all.

"Fireball, Thunder, Death Ray..."

Wang Zhifan, feeling somewhat amused, then used a series of instant spells from the Mage's Power Box to fight the enemy.

He knew that these spells would be of limited power when used by a non-magic player like him, but his current goal was just to test how many types of damage this monster was immune to, so he only wanted to use a few more types of attacks and didn't count on anything else.

The test results showed that the monster in front of him could withstand all the attacks he launched, but the strength of its aura did not change at all, which meant that it was indeed as difficult as he thought.

"Space slash!"

Feeling the situation was a little tricky, Wang Zhifan activated the power from the badge of the Lord of the Universe, instantly splitting the space where the monster was in front of him into two based on the underlying laws. This formed a huge space crack that penetrated the monster's entire body, like a terrifying barrier that completely separated it into two halves.

This time, the strange monster that had just appeared almost invincible finally suffered. Its various damage immunity characteristics seemed unable to withstand the destruction of the laws of space, making it impossible for its chaotic and unified body to recover again. As a result, it quickly fell into overall collapse and quickly dissipated in the surrounding polluted air.

Wang Zhifan then landed on the ground, and watching this strange and difficult opponent fall into nothingness, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"No wonder this world full of traces of developed civilization is so dead silent. There is not a single living creature in sight. With such a difficult monster, ordinary forces are simply unable to deal with it and can only lead to destruction."

He thought so in his mind, believing that this guy who had taken him a lot of effort to deal with was the main reason for the current destruction of the world.

At this point he once again had the idea of ​​leaving, thinking that when he needed a strong opponent in the future he could consider coming to this world to find a target.

But before he actually left, a strange thing caught his attention. It was an illusory door that suddenly appeared at the place where the monster disappeared.

We can call it a door tentatively, after all, it has the rectangular shape of a door in the conventional sense. Even though it looks very unreal, standing several meters in the air, and emitting an ominous gray light all over, anyone who sees it will think it is a door at first glance.

"What is this thing...strange..."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but frown at this unexpected development. He never thought that after the monster was killed, it would form something that looked like a door, luring him in.

"It's probably a very sinister trap to test my curiosity."

Without thinking too much, he knew that it was probably not a good thing. A door that meant good things should not emit such a dim and broken light. There might be a super boss waiting for him inside the door.

But sometimes people's curiosity is so strong that it cannot be easily suppressed by reason, especially when the person thinks he has stabilized.

"I have the power of time and space from the Lord of the Universe badge, and the immunity to death and infinite recovery from the Perfect One ability. Even if I really die under special circumstances, I still have the rebirth support from the Immortal Ring. There is no reason why I can't go in... By the way, I can let my avatar go in first to explore the way."

He quickly made a decision and sent a clone that looked almost identical to him down from the dream into reality, stepping on the air and rushing into the strange portal standing in mid-air.

It turned out that it was indeed a door. Wang Zhifan then sensed the situation inside through his clone that entered the door.

The clone seemed to have entered a special space, a special space that was somewhat similar to the reality where his original body was.

Through the vision transmitted back by the clone, he saw a huge city. The clone was standing on a very busy street, with various high-rise buildings on both sides. There was also a metal structure more than ten stories high running, making a low and steady sound.

All the buildings in sight were colorful and noisy, as if all the lights were lit to celebrate a festival, but the only inconsistent thing was that there was still no one in sight, not a single living animal.

"Is it a mirror image of the outside world when it was intact? But why can't we see any indigenous people?"

Wang Zhifan immediately had this guess in his mind. He felt that he was gradually approaching the truth of this world, but the truth was still shrouded in some mystery.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but start controlling his clone to wander around this world.

As the clone used his lightness skills to rise from the ground, it leaped onto one tall building after another, stepped on one balcony after another, observed the situation inside the buildings, and tried to find any special movements.

But in the initial period of time, Wang Zhifan did not find anything noteworthy. He only felt that this strange space was like a flashy empty shell. It looked bright and beautiful, but there was no resident who could truly define its vitality. It was like a prosperous city that had just been abandoned.

It was not until his clone arrived at the core area in the center of the city that he suddenly saw a figure, a figure that looked very much like a young human female, slowly walking through the busy streets where there was no one else.

The man looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with yellow skin, medium height, dignified and beautiful appearance but a slightly poor complexion. He was wearing a decent white uniform and women's leather shoes. He looked to be either a white-collar worker or a scientific researcher.

When Wang Zhifan's clone descended from the sky in front of her, she stopped in her tracks and stared at him in surprise and dullness for several seconds. "Who are you? Where is this?"

Wang Zhifan had a hunch that this woman could understand what he said, so he controlled his clone to ask.

But when the woman heard this, she immediately opened her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but she didn't make any complete and coherent sounds, seeming a little unskilled.

"You live here alone? No one has talked to you in a long time?"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but speculate. He showed patience and planned to say a few more words to arouse the woman's sense of language.

About a minute later, the young woman finally spoke two complete sentences, and Wang Zhifan found that he could understand them. He didn't know whether the language parsing ability of the Lord of the Universe Badge had been improved, or whether the language the other party spoke was very similar to the language he already knew.

"How did you get in here? What's the situation outside?"

The woman in front of him spoke to Wang Zhifan with a slightly anxious look, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"It was devastated outside. I didn't see a single living person. I came in through a door."

Wang Zhifan controlled his clone and looked at her, speculating on what this person was like.

"Take me to the door! This is important!"

The woman then urged with a nervous look, which made Wang Zhifan feel a little dissatisfied.

"Answer my question first! I'll take you there!"

He raised his voice for emphasis, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him.

The woman's eyes suddenly flashed with impatience, but Wang Zhifan's tall and handsome figure was very oppressive, so she had to answer:

"My name is Ying, and I'm the maintainer of this quantum dreamland. No one has been here for a long time. Take me to the door!"

"Quantum Dream Realm? Maintainer?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan felt as if he had understood something, but he didn't seem to fully understand it. However, he did not choose to continue asking. Instead, he stretched out his hand to lift up the woman in front of him, and used his lightness skills to fly her towards the entrance.

After understanding the essence of this space, he seemed to have even more profound control over his clone, almost bursting out at the highest speed of Qinggong, allowing the woman in his hands to reach the destination within two or three seconds.

The woman's physical condition was just as he expected. Even after enduring a huge acceleration, she did not seem to be injured at all. Even her clothes did not change much due to the strong headwind.

"Sure enough, this woman, like the surrounding scenery, is not very real."

Wang Zhifan immediately made a judgment in his heart.

At the same time, the young woman he put down had already walked towards the door that was suddenly hanging in the air.

This door was still the same as when Wang Zhifan sent his clone in. It was simple in shape and emitted a gray, broken light, which was out of tune with the prosperous and glamorous scene around it.

"How could the door appear here... No, this doesn't conform to the structural principles of the quantum dream realm..."

I could only hear the woman mumbling, as if she was very confused about the door in front of her and didn't understand why it was there.

Then Wang Zhifan saw the woman suddenly take out a small instrument from her pocket, pressed it with her finger, and then jumped lightly towards the dark door in the air.

"And the controller? It seems she really is that maintenance worker."

Wang Zhifan did not stop the woman from leaving this space because he was also curious about what a being like this would look like after leaving.

But unlike what he expected, the woman named Ying stopped when she reached the door. To be more precise, she tried to walk out of the door but to no avail. She was stopped inside the door.

This encounter did not seem to surprise the woman too much. She stood quietly on the inside of the door, trying to look out, as if there was a way to peek outside through the dim and broken light.

"No need to look, the world outside has been destroyed."

Wang Zhifan's real body was standing next to the door in reality at this moment. He couldn't directly see the scene inside the door, so he felt that the woman was deceiving herself, so he controlled his dream clone to remind her.

His words immediately caused the woman who was looking out from inside the door to fall into a brief silence. Then the woman tried to force her way through the door several times and pressed the small instrument in her hand several times, but it could not change the fact that she could not get out.

"Okay, don't waste your energy. You can't get out like this. I've already told you about the situation outside. Now it's your turn to explain the situation here to me."

Seeing that the woman was showing signs of losing control of her emotions, Wang Zhifan controlled his clone to ask her questions and forcibly divert her attention.

Soon, perhaps defeated by the cruel reality, the woman slowly turned around and returned to the ground from the air.

She did not explain immediately, but looked up at Wang Zhifan's clone, asking about his origins and why he could pass through the door while she could not.

"I am a traveler, a traveler from another world. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Wang Zhifan did not elaborate on this, only saying that he and she were very different. Although they looked very similar now, they were essentially very different.

After getting the explanation, Ying then began to tell Wang Zhifan about the situation here:
"Mr. Traveler, this is the Quantum Dream Realm, an inner world specially created by our world to avoid horrific disasters and continue for a long time. Originally, all the survivors should have been transferred here, but obviously we failed..."
