In the Wilderness of Dreams, there is actually a Witchcraft Garden called Tide Wave Garden, originating from Lord Rhein.
At first, Rhein suggested pulling the Tide Wave Garden into the Wilderness of Dreams to test what would happen when the inherent rules of the Witchcraft Garden clashed with the virtual rules in the Wilderness of Dreams.
The final result was considered pleasing. The reality laws within the Tide Wave Garden were tamed by the sub-authority under the Heavenly Phenomenon Replacement Power.
The rules of the Tide Wave Garden, in the Wilderness of Dreams, became a state that could be either virtual or real. This accelerated the process of rule transformation within the Wilderness of Dreams.
It can be said that Rhein’s test was very successful, which is a good thing.
However, there was a prerequisite for this test, which was that the authority of the Wilderness of Dreams could suppress the reality laws within the Witchcraft Garden.
The Tide Wave Garden is considered a small or even tiny garden, with not very strong rule frameworks inside, which were suppressed solely by the sub-authority of the Celestial Alternation.
But if it were a medium-sized Witchcraft Garden of the same type, such as the "Garden of Carnal Desires" from the Blissful Pure Land, the Celestial Alternation Power might not be able to suppress it.
If we further increase the stakes, replacing it with a large Witchcraft Garden like the "Deep Whirlpool Garden" from the Song of the Deep Sea, the Celestial Alternation Power not only wouldn’t suppress it, but could very likely be countered by the Deep Whirlpool laws.
Therefore, even the currently stable Wilderness of Dreams does not dare to pull Witchcraft Gardens into it lightly. A small Witchcraft Garden must be prudently chosen, and there must be corresponding authority to suppress it. Especially now, the Crystal Origin of Dreams has not even stabilized its basic stability, yet it must face the "Forest of Memories," which is suspected to be a large Witchcraft Garden.
The result of this is something Angel cannot imagine.
It’s very possible that, as he suspects, the Forest of Memories might, relying on its own laws, encroach and establish a domain in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, reigning over it.
But now, if the Forest of Memories isn’t pulled into the Crystal Origin of Dreams, there’s no way to deal with that troublesome spider magic monster, placing Angel in a dilemma.
Choosing to pull in the Forest of Memories might cost the Crystal Origin of Dreams its initiative.
If not choosing the Forest of Memories, the Crystal Origin of Dreams will surely be destroyed by the spider magic monster.
It must be said, the step taken by the will of the Mirror World... is truly ruthless.
As Angel was torn, a bright light suddenly flashed through the Mind Space, and Angel, puzzled, looked towards this bright light...
When Angel looked back again, he felt he was standing in front of a huge and lush tree.
This is... the Ability Tree.
When Angel had just arrived in the Mirror World before, the Ability Tree was very dim, and the dots of light on the tree—the authorities within the Wilderness of Dreams—were also very obscure and could not be invoked at all.
But now, it didn’t itch.
Some light points on the Ability Tree have regained their brilliance, such as Gatekeeper, Gate of Dreams, and Celestial Alternation.
The light points of these three authorities are clearly glowing.
This means that the Crystal Origin of Dreams has also been recognized by the Ability Tree, and the corresponding authorities can also be used in the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
But currently, only the light of Gatekeeper and Gate of Dreams is the brightest. While Celestial Alternation does emit light, it’s not very obvious, and can be set aside for now.
Angel kept his gaze on those obviously glowing points of light on the tree, secretly pondering: Was the light that flashed through the Mind Space not long ago, the light of Gatekeeper and Gate of Dreams?
As he stared more and more, Angel vaguely felt something amiss.
It’s not that the authorities of Gatekeeper and Gate of Dreams were amiss, but the entire Ability Tree... was amiss.
"Is it my illusion? Why does it feel like it seems to have grown a bit?" Angel murmured in his heart while recalling the earlier appearance of the Ability Tree.
When Angel compared the Authority Tree in his memory with the current one, he finally discovered what was amiss.
The Ability Tree hasn’t visibly grown larger, but has developed many extensions and new branches, though these branches are currently hidden in shadows, making them hard to notice at first glance; however, despite the branches being hidden in the shadows, they are still branches, and the longer one looks, the more a sense of tightness and oppression different from before becomes apparent.
"Why are there so many extra branches? Are these branches related to the Crystal Origin of Dreams? What exactly are these branches?" Filled with questions, Angel slowly approached the Ability Tree.
As Angel’s "Miss Body" gradually merged with the Ability Tree, a vast amount of information poured into Angel’s mind.
After a bit of organization, Angel discovered that this information was all new, previously unavailable on the Ability Tree, belonging to truly "newborn information."
And all this new information is related to the additional branches.
After contemplating for a while, Angel understood the situation of these branches.
As he guessed, these branches hidden in the shadows are indeed related to the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
Angel had always thought that the "Ability Tree" was merely the core authority of the Wilderness of Dreams; but now, with the emergence of the Crystal Origin of Dreams, he realized that the Ability Tree is not only the core authority of the Wilderness of Dreams, it is also based on the "Nightmare Realm, Dream Realm, and Third-Party World" core authority within the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain.
In other words, the Ability Tree is the core authority in the Wilderness of Dreams, and it is also the core authority in the Crystal Origin of Dreams. In the future, if new territories of the Wilderness of Dreams are born, the Ability Tree will similarly be the most core authority.
No matter how far the territory extends, there is only one "Ability Tree."
And the ability of the Ability Tree is: It can modulate all manifested authorities.
Therefore, even this sole Ability Tree, placed in the Dream Crystal Origin, can still control and adjust the authority of the Dream Crystal Origin.
—Yes, the Dream Crystal Origin also has a Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain and its own authority.
The powers of the Wilderness of Dreams come from: the Nightmare Realm, the Dream Realm, and the Wizards’ Realm; while the powers of the Dream Crystal Origin come from: the Nightmare Realm, the Dream Realm, and the Mirror World.
The essence of these three worlds shares similarities and differences, so their corresponding authorities are the same—some are universal, some are exclusive to a particular world.
For instance, Celestial Alternation, the Wilderness of Dreams, and the Gatekeeper Authority are universal; the Ability Tree is the same, also a universal authority, but it is rather special, belonging to the core authority among universal authorities.
Getting back to the point, now that the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain in the Dream Crystal Origin hasn’t manifested and no authority is flowing out, the Ability Tree, even though it can control and adjust the Dream Crystal Origin’s authority, is helpless here.
However, even though there’s no authority flowing out right now, this doesn’t prevent the Ability Tree from producing corresponding tendrils based on the Dream Crystal Origin’s authority.
The tendrils hidden in shadows that Angel saw are the ones that will carry the Dream Crystal Origin’s authority in the future.
Once the Dream Crystal Origin is fully shaped, and the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain appears with authority flowing out, the tendrils on the Ability Tree will grow from the shadows and bear the Power Fruit representing the Dream Crystal Origin’s authority.
