ALL NOVEL 0038 – Her Limitless Energy Source!
Sharp, vibrant, nourishing, hot, heavy, warm, dim... Familiar sensations resurfaced for a moment.
Zoe Carter, with a somewhat blurred consciousness, glanced around. Pure green surrounded her. It seemed she had returned to that dream where everything was green. The other colors she had vaguely sensed before in that book now seemed closer.
Gold, green, blue, red, brown, bright white, dark purple.
These dots of light, which should have been blurry and indistinct, now appeared much clearer. No longer hazy, Zoe observed them with curiosity, noticing deeper details and even discerning an order among them.
Sharp gold, nourishing blue, vibrant green, hot red, heavy brown.
These five colors of dots connected in a loop in that sequence. Warm bright white and dark purple, however, didn't align as closely with the others, exhibiting a sense of contrast and blending between them.
As she gazed at these seven colors of light, Zoe understood they must be very special, likely connected to the shifting dream space around her. She was eager to understand their nature, subconsciously reaching out to touch one of the seven points of light.
Yet, the seemingly short distance revealed itself as mere illusion upon her actual attempt to touch them, akin to flowers in a mirror or the moon reflected in water. Or rather, not quite.
Yes, it wasn't that they were untouchable like illusions, but rather that there was still some distance remaining. Though the dots of light had drawn nearer, there remained a considerable gap, seemingly insurmountable like the void between stars.
She needed to get closer still to touch them, perhaps requiring further immersion and evolution through sleep, according to Zoe's speculation. She had an intuition that upon getting closer and touching one of these points, there would likely be an unprecedented change.
She anticipated such a future eagerly. However, for now, despite her repeated attempts to reach out, it was futile.
Lost in thought, the seven colors of light gradually diminished, while the surrounding misty green diffused. Or perhaps it should be said, Zoe's perspective in this dream suddenly began to rise continuously.
Everything before her began to shrink, until gradually, the seven-colored dots disappeared from sight. All she could see now was an endless expanse of green. From this elevated viewpoint, it still dominated the entire field of vision.
This kind of green seemed like mist, yet also like flowing water. It resembled light, yet also like pure color applied to a two-dimensional surface. In any case, what lay before Zoe, if one were to ignore those seven insignificant dots of different colors, was a world of pure green.
A feeling, seemingly from the depths of existence, told Zoe that this was a world—a complete, vast world with potential comparable to, or even surpassing, the observable universe itself.
And it existed within her dream—undeniably real!
As she pondered, before she could even be astonished by her profound thoughts, the rapidly rising perspective seemed to know that continuing to ascend wouldn't reveal the entirety of this world.
It abruptly halted. Then... the scene before Zoe flickered, presenting a brand new image, a fresh perspective. It was a pure blue crystal heart. This heart, from inside out, radiated brightness, resembling a blue glass artwork, pure and translucent.
In the center of this pure blue crystal heart, faintly visible were seven tiny dots of light floating and shimmering within it.
At that moment, Zoe immediately understood. Within this pure blue crystal heart lay the vast, boundless world she had just witnessed. And this heart, with high probability, was likely her own.
Silent, Zoe didn't know what to say.
Watching the pure blue crystal heart pulsate, transmitting blue energy into the surrounding misty darkness, Zoe momentarily couldn't discern whether she was in a dream or reality.
However, one thing she was sure of: her source of energy, which required neither food nor sleep, was now clearly visible. The complete world within the pure blue crystal heart, seemingly surpassing Earth and with potential exceeding that of the observable universe, was the foundation of her seemingly perpetual motion machine.
This pure blue crystal heart was probably the source of all her transformations.
Lost in thought, Zoe understood that she could now unleash her training without worrying about draining her energy source. No matter how much she trained, she probably couldn't exhaust an entire world.
Clear about her source of energy, she immediately formulated a comprehensive training plan in her mind. Having enjoyed a week of relaxation, she was eager for some real powerful training. And since discovering her changes, she had been cautious not to overtrain, fearing she might deplete herself.
Now, however... heavy lifting, wilderness treks, sea dives—all of it would be included in her plan!
Charge ahead! Magnetic fields rotate, a million teeth clench!
Just as she was thinking this, perhaps her overly ambitious thoughts became too much for the dream to handle. The scene before Zoe dissolved.
Opening her eyes again, sunlight pierced through. Before her was a ceiling familiar yet strange. Familiar because it was the ceiling of her bedroom. Strange because she hadn't slept in her bed for a long time.
Now, most of the time, she was either in the living room playing games on her computer or writing. After all, she didn't need to sleep anymore. So, why not have fun at night or wander the streets?
Lost in these thoughts, Zoe glanced around. Unlike after her second sleep evolution, there wasn't a sudden influx of countless voices. Zoe wasn't sure if there were no new abilities or if she simply hadn't discovered them yet. However, the changes in her physical condition were already somewhat evident.
Just by clenching her fist, Zoe felt noticeably different. After a moment of contemplation, Zoe decided not to test her new changes from the third sleep evolution just yet.
Instead, she picked up the camcorder charging on the bedside table. She was curious about everything that had happened to her body during her sleep evolution. Skillfully operating the familiar camcorder, she began to replay the specific content recorded during her sleep.
