Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-622

"Dream Coins are the main currency of the Virtual Dream Universe. It splits in Rank and is upgradable. Physical Realm Dream Coins require ten of the same to upgrade into the following Rank, meaning that ten Rank 0 Dream Coins can upgrade into one Rank 1 Dream Coin and so on until Rank 3. To obtain a Rank 4 Dream Coin using Rank 3 Dream Coins, you will need one hundred of the previous ones. Soul Realm Dream Coin has a higher upgrade requirement. To obtain one Rank 5 Dream Coin using Rank 4's, you will need one hundred. Finally, you will need one thousand Rank 6 Dream Coins to get one Rank 7 Dream Coin. One thousand is also Dream Coins' upgrade requirement at the Law Realm."

After analyzing the Dream Coins' description, some interest appeared in the trio's faces. At their Rank, especially in Issac's case, they did most transactions in the form of barter as there was not a high enough currency in the universe for them to use.

Still, the currency's actual value is not in how detailed it was but in what it gave access to. That prompted Issac's next question.

"What can we do with Dream Coins, and how do we obtain more of them?"

Universe Dream answered without moving a muscle and did not focus on Issac, as it spoke to everybody.

"First, I will explain how to obtain them. There are many ways to do it, like fulfilling missions in the Prima Universe or selling items. You can also receive them by proving your talent in trials that will be available in the future inside the Virtual Dream Universe. However, the easiest way will be allowing me to analyze your existence as you display spells or train a Path Technique. The technique level will determine the number of Dream Coins you will get."

Issac nodded as he heard the methods to get Dream Coins. It was straightforward, and no matter their Rank, everybody could obtain them without danger.

"Now, I will explain the use of Dream Coins. You can use them for almost anything in the Virtual Dream Universe. From buying food and drinks, playing games, purchasing property, and establishing businesses. You can even get access to a virtual partner for your comfort. Those will be Dream Incarnation, but I can assure you that their response will not differ from real people."

The trio was surprised by everything this universe offered, especially the last part. Issac, Ivar, and Hades had long-lived and taken many sexual partners, but that need slowly waned off as they grew stronger. Although they still had those desires, the stimulus they granted could not compare with the feeling of growing stronger.

With the Virtual Dream Universe, nothing stopped them from doing both. The amount of consciousness they needed to enter this place was negligible and would not affect them unless they were in a life and death battle.

"According to the Dream Rules, any form of unethical behavior such as rape, torture, blackmail, and the likes is forbidden. Anyone doing it will be banned from the Virtual Dream Universe, even if the victims are Dream Incarnations. Understand that the one in front of you is a mere avatar I generated to simplify our interactions. I am Universe Dream and am omniscient." The white humanoid spoke those words without any trace of emotion as he waved his hands, making three cards appear in front of the Magi and Hades.

The trio found all they needed to know about the Dream Rules in those cards. Issac and Ivar were a little surprised by such strict rules and even more because even Dream Incarnations, which were supposed to be simple puppets, were protected by them. Unlike the Magi, Hades expected such a thing.

The reason behavior like torture was forbidden was due to the effect that carrying on those actions would have on an individual's psyche.

Virtual Dream Universe was not a simulation game. For weak life forms, it was no different from reality. Anyone who thought allowing someone to unleash those depraved desires in a virtual entity would help them was too naive. It would only foment that part of them, and in a matter of time, they will want to do it in the real universe.

None of the Magi or Hades had a problem with the rules. They were strict but did not affect their freedoms. Still, up to now, nothing they learned from the Dream Coins could genuinely allure powerful life forms.

As if knowing the question in their minds, Universe Dream explained the primary use of the Dream Coins.

"All the products and services I mentioned before can be considered mundane. Most of them are accessible with Rank 0 Dream Coins. For those that embark on cultivation, the real value of Dream Coins will be in the access they will grant to the Legacy Tower. It will be a structure where one can learn skills, spells, and Path Techniques, with a level cap at the Void Creator Rank. Since the Virtual Dream Universe can equal the laws and forces up to Rank 7, any knowledge and expertise obtained from training here will be no different from the Prima Universe."

Since the trio understood the value of the Virtual Dream Universe's ability to simulate anything beneath the Omega Law level perfectly, how could Zatiel not do it as well?

The Neo-Demon went beyond that and wanted to generate a place where everyone could access the best techniques regardless of their background. Of course, they would have to use Dream Coins to get them, but there are countless ways to obtain those coins as long as they worked hard.

Issac could not help but smile as he heard about the Legacy Tower. Many geniuses across the universe would never rise due to their weak cultivation heritage, but the Virtual Dream Universe could change that. From an individual to an entire universe, their foundation determined how much they could grow.

"The skill and technique that you will analyze from us in exchange for Dream Coins will be added to this Legacy Tower, right?" The Magus Primarch had already made the connection before, and now he was sure.

"Yes. There is an extensive database with billions of spells and techniques, but Sacred Dreamer charged me with making it grow without end."

"Will the Virtual Dream Universe grow to the point of flawlessly simulating Rank 8 phenomena and laws?"

Unlike previous times, Universe Dream did not answer instantly. Instead, he focused on Issac and Ivar before speaking.

"Rank 9 Magus Issac, and Rank 8 Magus Ivar, have access to Tier 3 Sensitive Information."

The Magi were a little taken back by those words, but they understood them quickly. They asked for a piece of knowledge that the Universe Dream would not reveal unless Zatiel, or Sacred Dream, granted the authorization.

"The capabilities of the Virtual Dream Universe are connected to the power of Sacred Dreamer. The universe can only replicate phenomena and laws that he already thoroughly comprehended. According to analysis, the universe will obtain the ability to simulate Rank 8 laws and phenomena once Zatiel Daybreak enters Rank 8. The same should happen after reaching Rank 9.. The only limit for the Virtual Dream Universe's potential is that of the Sacred Dreamer's growth."
