Roy had already confirmed one thing—Trag’Oul had a natural home field advantage in his dream.
This was probably why he had pulled Roy into his dream. Under these dream conditions, Roy was still at a loss on how to attack Trag’Oul and cause him damage. His ability to fight back was very limited.
If he continuously gave Trag’Oul ‘knowledge’ just so he could create some conditions for him to fight back, it wouldn’t be worth it. Not only was it unknown how effective it would be, but it would undoubtedly increase Trag’Oul’s strength.
Therefore, the first thing Roy thought of was not to fight Trag’Oul in this dream. It was meaningless.
Roy raised his hand and looked at his demon claws. Although they were very real, he knew very well that they were probably just a kind of ‘spiritual body’. If intelligent creatures were very familiar with their bodies, they would unconsciously maintain the appearance of their bodies even in their soul state. Since Trag’Oul had pulled him into his dream, it meant that he had used some method to connect their spirits or souls. He had never heard of any ability that could pull the body into a dream, so his original body should still be in the Silver Spire.
As such, the situation became clear. If he wanted to leave this dream, he had to find a way to break this connection.
In fact, this wasn’t the first time Roy had encountered a similar mental attack. When he was still weak, he had also dealt with an illusion demon, César. However, César’s simple illusion techniques only worked on vision, and there was absolutely no comparison to Trag’Oul’s ability to affect souls. Roy was now a demon king, so his spirit and soul were very powerful. He was already immune to mental attacks in the conventional sense, but Trag’Oul’s ability still worked on him, indicating that this connection was probably unconventional.
The reason why Roy determined that it was a spiritual or soul connection was that he found he could still open the system interface in his mind here, and the system was attached to his soul.
But the system probably couldn’t help much at this time. Even if he created something through the system, once it exceeded Trag’Oul’s understanding, he would probably not be able to materialize it. After all, this was a dream, an illusory world.
While Roy was thinking, Trag’Oul didn’t stop attacking him. When he understood the knowledge of the speed of light and space, he didn’t use starlight spears to attack Roy anymore. Instead, he controlled the huge sun beside him to attack Roy with enormous fire waves.
Roy allowed these high-temperature flames to burn him, but he didn’t fight back. He only wrapped his wings around his body to shrink his defense because he thought that Trag’Oul had no concept of how high the temperature of the sun was. If it was a real sun, the high temperature of tens of millions of

It seemed to be at only the limit of ordinary fire magic, and it could at most reach the temperature of hellfire...
This should still involve a cognitive problem. Trag’Oul had not really come close to a sun, so his understanding of solar light and heat was off. Although he probably knew that the sun had a very high temperature, it was limited to the temperature of fire magic, so he used the temperature of fire magic as a reference.
Knowing this, Roy certainly couldn’t enlighten him. He knew very well that he had to avoid thinking about this in his mind. He felt that since Trag’Oul could connect to his spirit or soul, he might be able to spy on his thoughts. Perhaps a thought would flash and cause Trag’Oul to understand this ‘knowledge’. At that time, it would be troublesome.
Thus, Roy only defended without saying a word. His resistance to flames was much better now, and this degree of temperature couldn’t cause much damage to him. So while defending, he kept sizing up the things in the surrounding dream space.
Roy’s mind was exceptionally calm now. He guessed that if it was a soul connection, then there had to be a special node for this connection. This node was the real reason why his soul frequency could connect to Trag’Oul’s soul frequency.
But before this, Roy had never seen Trag’Oul and only Imew of his existence. It was impossible for two completely unfamiliar people to achieve a soul frequency resonance under normal circumstances.
Unless... unless there was something or some cognition that both Roy and Trag’Oul knew, and then using it as a node, Trag’Oul’s soul could connect to Roy’s...
Thinking about it this way, the answer was obvious. It should be Sanctuary!
Roy lowered his head and looked at the planet under his feet. This planet had been under his feet from the moment he was pulled into the dream. But it was not until he thought of the answer that he thought of paying attention to it.
But then Roy was a little puzzled because he found that the planet under his feet was not Sanctuary!
During his time on Xiansai, Roy had read a large number of mortal books.
Among these books, many of them were maps recorded by explorers who had traveled all over Sanctuary. Finally, they combined them to form a world map of Sanctuary. But the shape of the land on this planet under his feet didn’t have the slightest resemblance to Sanctuary.
Roy endured the burning pain. During the gaps between the fire waves, he flapped his wings and flew toward the planet under his feet, wanting to verify it carefully. This flight made him realize that his guess was right. True space had no atmosphere, and it should be impossible to flap his wings and fly like this. But in Trag’Oul’s dream, he could still move closer to the planet under his feet.
When Trag’Oul saw Roy approaching this planet, he didn’t show any anxiety and continued to attack him unhurriedly, weakening him by creating pain.
Roy frowned and observed this planet again. He found that there was indeed a big difference. It didn’t seem to be the planet of Sanctuary.
He recalled some relevant records in history books. Sanctuary, this artificial world, was a world similar to an eggshell. In the beginning, Inarius and Lilith had used the power of the Worldstone to hide it. It was like a transparent egg mixed with the depths of the Purgatory Space... Recalling these records, Roy felt that he had made a mistake. Not only was the shape of the planet under his feet different, but it didn’t seem to be in a special state of being hidden either.
Could I be wrong? Did TragOul also hide the true Sanctuary world in his dream?
This is troublesome. There are so many stars in the starry sky. Which one is the true world of Sanctuary?
Another powerful flame attack came, and Roy was sent tumbling in space by the shock wave. He frowned, glanced at the violent sun, flapped his wings, and flew away. He wanted to fly toward the distant stars, intending to find the hidden true world of Sanctuary.
But Roy suddenly stopped after flying a short distance!
Wait! TragOul, this homebody dragon, has never flown out of the planet where Sanctuary is, so how can he know what the shining stars in the starry sky are like?
Roy realized that this boundless starry sky was actually just the starry sky that Trag’Oul had observed in Sanctuary. But because he was powerless to go to this starry sky, the starry sky in his dream was really just the starry sky, or rather, it was simply a background image! Even if Roy could really fly to where the stars were, he wouldn’t be able to see any planets!
Okay, I almost fell for this guy’s trap! Roy grinned. He understood that the planet under his feet was actually the true world of Sanctuary. Only by being very familiar with Sanctuary could Trag’Oul create such a real planet!
No wonder this guy appeared in the starry sky in the form of a constellation. His goal was to confuse Roy and make him mistakenly think that his starry sky was real!
As for why the shape of the land of the planet under his feet was different from the world map of Sanctuary, it was easier to understand. As a guardian who had existed for countless years, he must have seen the movements and changes of geological plates. Since he knew that the shape of the land could change, it wouldn’t be difficult to make some changes to deceive Roy!
If Roy was really deceived by him and went deep into the starry sky to find the real world of Sanctuary, he would probably not be able to find it even if he flew to his death. Trag’Oul could use this long time to completely wear down Roy’s soul, utterly obliterating it in this dream, and kill him!
And time was the most worthless thing for a world-soul titan...
After understanding, Roy felt that it was a close call. He didn’t expect Trag’Oul to be so cunning. He might have known that he could guess the matter with the soul connection node, so he had set up a trick and let Roy appear near the true connection node the moment he appeared in the dream. If Roy was a simple-minded and boorish demon who only believed in power, this plan might have succeeded.
But Roy was not such a demon. In fact, it was easy to see through this deception. He only needed to think about it based on Trag’Oul’s ‘cognition’.
Roy looked up at Trag’Oul’s dragon-shaped illusory figure in the distance and grinned sinisterly. “Trag’Oul, don’t let me catch you. Once I catch you, I swear I’ll pull out your soul and feed it to my dragon!”
With that, Roy flapped his wings and plunged toward the planet under his feet!
