Thinking of this, Yuki's eyes narrowed as she then looked at Lorien skeptically which caused the latter to roll his eyes at her before responding.
"If you want to know if it's real or not, why don't you give it a try?"
Hearing this, Yuki nodded in agreement before turning her head again towards the orb.
"Ummm, how to do it?"
"Just touch it, then, just leave the rest to it!"
Hearing this, Yuki immediately extended her hand toward the orb without any hesitation, after all, even if this was a prank, she knew that Lorien wouldn't hurt her.
However, even if she was still a bit skeptical, she still felt a wave of excitement and nervousness wash over her as this was something she had been waiting for, for a very long time.
*Buzzz*
The moment her hand touched the golden orb, it instantly melted into her hand as a mysterious power then started altering her body.
From her cursed technique to her cursed energy, the 'Dream Path Seed' started modifying everything in its way.
It first began by transforming the cursed energy into the Neutral/Chaotic energy of the 'Dream Path' as it then started optimizing Yuki's cursed technique.
Watching this while still sitting on the sofa, Lorien looked slightly bored as he had no interest in watching this transformation; After all, this is something he had already gone through, so, there is nothing new about it.
Shaking his head, Lorien started looking around the place as it had been months since he had been here.
'No dust...It seems that a cleaner was sent regularly to clean the place.'
'Hmmm, Nagi is quite thoughtful, I should give her a raise when after I go to the company!'
Thinking of this, Lorien's eyes narrowed as a slight smile appeared on his face, it seems that he had thought of something interesting.
'Nagi died tragically in the original timeline, and even though this is unlikely to happen after I killed Mahito, I should still do something about it, after all, she is my subordinate.'
Looking at Yuki, Lorien then scratched his shin before he then raised his hand causing a golden orb identical to the one Yuki just absorbed to appear floating above it.
Doing so, he then waved his hand causing it to shoot in a certain direction.
*Swish*
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
'I really wonder what sort of ability she will awaken...'
However, just as Lorien was musing to himself and imagining some funny scenarios, the optimization that was happening to Yuki's ability finally ended.
*Buzzz*
The moment this happened, Lorien's body shook as he felt something appear in his body, and more precisely, inside of his [Eternal Dream World].
'This is??!'
Immediately closing his eyes, the projection of Lorien's consciousness instantly appeared inside of his [Dream World] to check the situation.
And luckily for Lorien, his appearance was just in time for him to witness the whole event.
*Shake*
In front of the [Eternal Tree] that was standing at the center of the realm, a small white ball appeared silently before instantly merging into the tree.
The moment this happened, the whole realm shook lightly as Lorien then felt a concept being added to his [Eternal Dream World], and this concept is called [Mass].
Right now, he could feel that this realm was a little more solid and stable, and more importantly, it felt more complete and refined.
It's just that before he could further investigate, a message instantly appeared in Lorien's brain containing information about 'Mass control' and its applications.
Reacting quickly, he immediately digested this information as a smile appeared on his face.
'So this is the feedback I get when people walk the dream path...'
Realizing this, the smile on Lorien's face quickly grew wider as joy filled his heart.
'This is much better than I expected!'
However, different from what one may think, the reason Lorien is happy isn't because he gained information about a new ability.
After all, he had already analyzed this power a very long ago, so, technically, all he got right now was nothing but an upgrade of the previous ability and more applications of it.
That being said, the main reason for Lorien's joy is the fact that his [Eternal Dream World] could be strengthened by the feedback.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remember one of the severe requirements needed for creating a real and complete world.
'One of the main reasons that prevents this from ever happening is the fact that a single person can't practice all paths at once to a level that allows him to create a complete and coherent world where all the basic elements are present.'
'However, this feedback mechanism might fix this as the more people who practice the 'Dream Path' and the higher their level, the stronger my [Eternal Dream World] will become!'
'Thanks to this feedback, this issue might be resolved, enabling me to reach the [Trancendent] level.'
'Well, that's in theory at least, unless there is something I don't know...'
'However, even if this is the case, the gains that I receive are still huge enough as I can improve greatly without having to do anything!'
Thinking of this, Lorien instantly felt motivated as he even had the urge to immediately launch the 'Dream Path' worldwide.
However, this thought was instantly suppressed by him as after thinking about it for a while longer, he still decided that it was better to just have a bit of fun before that.
'Huh?'
Noticing a change outside, Lorien instantly left the [Eternal Dream World] causing his eyes to restore their focus as he then turned his attention back to Yuki.
'Is she finally waking up?'
And indeed, just as Lorien thought of this, Yuki's eyes snapped open as she then slowly looked down at her hands, clenching them tightly.
Doing so, a wide smile appeared on her face as she then started laughing wildly.
"Hahahhahaha; it's indeed true!! It's finally over!!"
Watching this silently, Lorien decided not to interrupt her joy as he knew that this was something very important to her.
For Lorien, this was nothing but a plan to further improve himself, however for Yuki, this is something she had been working on her whole life.
It's just that surprisingly, Lorien didn't have to wait long as Yuki soon turned her head towards him, her eyes shining brightly.
*Swish*
Disappearing from her position in a flash, Lorien instantly felt a very soft object land on him, followed by a soft and fruity fragrance.
'Huh?!'
