Chapter 600 - 600 599 The Awakening Mechanism
?Chapter 600: Chapter 599: The Awakening Mechanism Chapter 600: Chapter 599: The Awakening Mechanism It turned out that a true veteran scholar, when considering problems, indeed thought differently from ordinary people.
The question that Morris had posed in his musings almost instantly illuminated many people’s thoughts.
“One major premise is, the ‘desert’ seen by Fenna and the ‘forest’ seen by others are both part of The Dream of the Nameless. Under this major premise, these two ‘places’ have two possibilities,” Morris said slowly while sitting on the sofa, “Either the ‘desert’ and ‘forest’ exist at different locations at the same moment, or they are in the same location at different times—either way, they should not be two completely independent systems. Time and space, at least one of them should be interconnected.”
Nina followed the old man’s train of thought and suddenly asked with curiosity, “Why can’t they be both at different locations and at different times?”
“Because they are in the same ‘Dreamscape’,” Morris explained, “It’s impossible for a dreamscape to have two or more completely independent time-space systems; otherwise, those would be two unrelated dreams—at least, my current knowledge doesn’t support that hypothesis.”
“Oh…” Nina drew out the word, nodding her head, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Duncan was still pondering the two scenarios Morris had just mentioned, repeatedly simulating in his mind what each model—’the same location at different times’ and ‘different locations at the same moment’—could correspond to among known clues. After a good while, he put this complex issue aside and spoke up, “I should remind you that aside from the ‘desert’ and ‘forest’, there is also a ‘place’ that is adrift at the boundary of reality. It is not part of the Dreamscape, but it is evidently a part of The Dream of the Nameless.”
“That dark space filled with mist, where the reflection of the Homeloss sails among it,” Morris immediately replied with sincerity, “I have also been considering this. What part of The Dream of the Nameless does that dark mist you saw correspond to?
“The most likely guess at the moment is that it lies on the border of ‘almost awake but not yet awake’. On that Homeloss, you can touch the echoes of Silantis, but you cannot directly see the situation in the Dreamscape. This is very much in line with the characteristics of the dream boundary. Clearly, however, The Dream of the Nameless has a ‘boundary’ of considerable scale, allowing even a ship to wander aimlessly within it…”
Duncan recalled the “streaming light” he had seen on board the reflected Homeloss, as well as the voice from Silantis he’d heard within that light, his expression gradually revealing a thoughtful look.
