Chapter 1368 - 538: Origin of the Treasure Hunting System

"The improvement in strength within the dream realm is a little bit different from what I imagined." Faced with puzzled looks from everyone, Alka explained.

Lucilia, who holds the authority in matters of the soul and has an intimate understanding of it, looked at Alka’s body and saw through to his internal soul.

Quietly she said beside him, "Judging by your soul’s manifestation, this isn’t just a little difference."

Simply put, now in Lucilia’s eyes, Alka’s soul has undergone a monumental transformation.

It’s like... it’s like transcending races.

Yet all intelligent life’s souls should be the same.

Alka’s soul is more like... a Divine, yes, a Divine’s soul.

Although Lucilia has never seen what a Divine’s soul looks like.

But Alka’s soul shines with golden light, crystal clear, as if forged from crystal.

Such a thought appeared in Lucilia’s mind, and as it did, her expression gradually began to turn to astonishment.

The crowd hadn’t yet received Alka’s explanation, but sharply noticed the exaggerated change in Lucilia’s expression.

From such an exaggerated change, one could tell just how shocking Alka’s change was?

"What do you know? Come on, tell us!" Jason, nearby, was about to explode with curiosity, urging continuously.

"Alka’s soul, or rather Alka’s transformation within the dream realm... it’s like becoming a god."

...

Silence.

Everyone silently turned their heads, once again looking toward Alka.

"Haha, so it’s not quite what I expected."

"Is this the little change you mentioned?" Chadite asked, looking at him.

"Certainly, it exceeded some expectations."

Alka was slightly embarrassed.

Jason walked over, gripping Alka’s shoulder, staring at him with eyes full of curiosity.

"So, what’s it like? Hmm? The feeling of becoming a god?"

Hearing this, Alka thought for a moment and said, "Since I was originally a ruler within the dream realm, truthfully there’s not much of a feeling, it feels no different.

Except that I can now exert more powerful strength in the dream realm, with more precise control, it all seems the same."

"Really?" Jason was a bit skeptical, also somewhat disappointed.

Because, upon closer thought, it does seem to be so.

But Lucilia came to her senses, looking at Alka, she said, "Now your connection is even finer, a Divine’s soul and spirit paired with an ordinary demigod’s shell."

Upon hearing this, Alka nodded heavily.

This is now his most challenging issue in the real world.

His soul has fully become a strong individual entity, whereas the body has become a hindrance.

The moment of divine ascension in the dream realm opened a gap, making the connection between his soul, spirit, and body as thin as a thread.

Although this thread is very strong, it is still just a thread.

This has become his most severe problem.

"So what consequences will such a situation bring?" Chadite asked worriedly from the side.

Alka thought for a moment and said, "Before obtaining suitable crown-level treasures, before combining the key of ascension.

I might struggle to use any powerful forces, let alone receive the dream realm’s strength."

Upon hearing this, Juanlu beside them thought for a moment and offered a possibly more precise analogy.

"So even though your strength has grown, due to these reasons it’s temporarily sealed.

Therefore, in the real world, you can’t wield much powerful strength, is that what you mean?"

Hearing this analogy, Alka nodded, finding it rather apt.

"That’s roughly what it means, of course, it can be used, but you’d have to endure, possibly causing spirit-flesh separation."

Because truly nobody, nor the world, might have thought that there could be someone whose dream realm spirit and soul ascended to divinity, dragging along a demigod’s shell.

At this stage, why not directly become a dream realm Divine? Why insist on bringing it to the real world?

It’s as if this world doesn’t have such a thing, and Alka has found a loophole.

He must find a way to fill this loophole himself, meaning his body’s level or strength must improve somewhat, at least not too distant from his power in the dream realm.

Otherwise, it can’t match up.

"Though it’s said this way, the strength of my physical body in reality can still be completely wielded.

I just need to moderately limit my use of dream power now."

With this, Alka smiled, "But given the situation now, compared to before, it certainly isn’t a decline in power.

On the contrary, it’s an improvement."

If using numbers to compare.

Half a year ago, Alka’s strength was one.

Now the strength he should be able to exert should be 8 or 10.

Due to the divine ascension in the dream realm, his strength, compared to before, has increased four or five times, which is very basic. Over time, control over power will only grow.

But due to mismatch, he can only exert a power of 2-3.

Though still doubled compared to six months ago, it’s less than half compared to what he truly could exert.

Relative to the past, it’s certainly improved, but the actual situation is suppressed.

Saying this, Alka gently waved his hand.
