In the Dream World of the comatose village girl, it originally was a nearly complete blank slate, with only the image of a woman representing the girl's personal will quietly floating in mid-air. In other words, she wasn't dreaming at all.
But suddenly, this blank and monotonous world was smeared with layers of colors, even the eyes of the woman floating in the middle gained a bit of vitality. Accompanying this transformation, the figure of a mysterious white-bearded elderly man dressed in long robes gradually emerged in front of the woman.
The old man gently gazed at the woman, whose consciousness was gradually awakening, and waited for her to fully enter this dreamscape he had guided before speaking up with a cheerful smile.
"Young lady, do you still recognize me?"
"It's you? Am I..."
"Don't be afraid, you are in your dream now. I've come to tell you that the great Venerable of Virtue has answered your plea! Hurry to embrace your rebirth! Remember, as long as you sincerely believe in the Venerable and spread His holy name to more people, more blessings will come upon you!"
As the old man's words ended, his figure rapidly dissipated from the woman's dreamscape, and simultaneously the woman awoke from her coma, standing up from the ground with a face of shock.
"The Venerable has answered me? Was I dreaming..."
The awakened village girl was clearly somewhat puzzled by the recent dreamscape, unable to distinguish whether it was merely a thorough illusion or something with a peculiar reality. However, people always attach hope to certain things, and she quickly placed her slightly trembling hands on her cheeks. A sensation of unprecedented smoothness widened her eyes, her face showing an expression of ecstatic joy.
The next second, she dashed to the side riverbank like a mad rabbit, using the clear river water to reflect her face.
On the river's surface, the image of a woman with fair and smooth skin emerged immediately, and soon a few crystalline teardrops fell from above, creating ripples on the surface.
"Wuu wuu wuu..."
"The young woman is grateful for the great kindness and virtue of the Venerable!"
"The young woman is grateful for the great kindness and virtue of the Venerable!"
...
At the riverside, there appeared a woman kneeling and weeping in gratitude, crying loudly, this time entirely out of happiness and excitement.
"I feel a special subtle connection with her, the power of faith has indeed emerged... It wasn't in vain that I spent so much effort."
In the distance, Wang Zhifan nodded in satisfaction, having orchestrated and observed the entire process. He was now sure that he had gained a believer, his first human believer. Though he wasn't certain if this believer's faith would remain steadfast, at least this beginning met his expectations.
"Let's leave it for now, things can only unfold naturally, no one can say for sure."
Without paying attention to the woman incessantly offering her gratitude in front, Wang Zhifan took out the Guest Minister Token, activated its power, and returned to the real world.
Sometime later, he began training in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion placed in the real world, a practice he had consistently been engaging with.
However, this time his training didn't last particularly long, only about seven or eight hours before he emerged, as it was already deep into the night when he had returned, having spent a significant time in the world of Wuji Sect.
"The efficacy of this Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion is truly unusual, it feels significantly more substantial than my previous training in the copies. I estimate that the next realm will soon break through."
At this moment, as Wang Zhifan emerged from the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion and returned to the bedroom, he couldn't help but let out an emotional sigh.
He had been training in the Great Dream Saber Scripture for quite some time. Discounting the time spent training in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion in the real world, he had spent nearly three months practicing on a ship during the last ocean instance. During this period, he even encountered a mysterious strong enemy and broke through a realm during battle, so feeling on the brink of another breakthrough after a majority of the night wasn't an overnight success.
But if there were any regrets from last night's training, it wasn't without them. It was that he found he had no additional gains, not acquiring any new talents and even the previously deferred attribute growth was again postponed!
"If it's postponed, so be it... let's handle today's instance first. This time, without needing to bring anyone, it should be somewhat easier."
The reason he came out of the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion on schedule was that Wang Zhifan was mindful of the daily instance. Ever since discovering he had the ability to choose rewards, the allure of the daily instance's gains far surpassed the instance's threat of death to him, especially possessing the Immortal Deceit Ring, an Epic Layer item that made him bolder than ever.
However, despite that boldness, he prepared well ahead of every instance entrance, ensuring a full belly, confirming his state, checking supplies, and being fully equipped, all were indispensable steps. This time was no exception.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Suddenly, before he could leave the bedroom, he heard a knocking at the door.
"Yi Lin, Yali, did you make breakfast yourself?"
He promptly stepped forward to open the door, discovering that it was the two succubus maidservants Yi Lin and Yali arriving, dressed in their classic black and white maid outfits. Each held a steaming white tray, one containing fried eggs with slightly golden edges, the other slightly blackened toast—wait, upon closer inspection, they weren't toast but slices of steamed buns!
