The Golden Crow Wheel in Chen Yekai's world burst with a radiant light and slowly descended. After it descended to a certain height, it emitted a vibration similar to that of a ringing clock, and an instantaneous displacement occurred — it reappeared on the pyramid platform at the apex of Chichén Itzá.

Yu Hao got a huge fright, while Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai were extremely calm.

"We can only summon it down if we have an effective medium." Chen Yekai said.

"Wu, your inference was right." Zhou Sheng frowned as he studied the Golden Crow Wheel.

The Golden Crow Wheel in Chen Yekai's dream didn't look like the one in Zhou Sheng's dream — it didn't have flares, and there were no ripple-like projections in its center.

Yu Hao scrutinized it for a long time. "That is to say, as long as the connection is strong enough, everyone can enter each other's dreams?"

Chen Yekai looked at Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng said, "Maybe?"

Yu Hao thought about it for a bit before facing Zhou Sheng, "Then......in a sense, the Golden Crow Wheel didn't necessarily set its mind on you?"

Yu Hao's idea was: Zhou Sheng was more or less concerned with the connection he has with the Golden Crow Wheel, and he always thought that it would bring them some sort of unknown risk. However, once Chen Yekai could also open up a part of the Golden Crow Wheel's functions, then this kind of risk could be shared with one more person, so Chen Yekai would also be dragged into this mess.

Zhou Sheng's delay in erasing Chen Yekai's memories might be because deep down, he still hoped to unlock secrets concerning the Golden Crow Wheel.

However, Chen Yekai didn't really understand the meaning behind Yu Hao's words and instead said seriously, "No, it's not that simple. We might as well establish a bold hypothesis: remember the pilgrimage array of the priests and bronze men?"

With Chen Yekai's reminder, Yu Hao recalled that there were many bronze men besides the two priests in the ruins that he had described earlier.

Zhou Sheng muttered, "The function of the Golden Crow Wheel is to connect the brain waves of these people together?"

Chen Yekai snapped his fingers, "Yes. According to the keywords Yu Hao heard in Liang Laoshi's subconscious, the two of you are the Overseer and Corrector. As for the dreams of the rest of us, they are connected through the Golden Crow Wheel."

Chen Yekai stood tall, wearing a chieftain's hat while his upper body was naked. Two leather buckles were strewn across his bare, fair chest, and he was wearing a battle skirt as well. As if his occupational hazard was acting up, he started analyzing for the two of them. Yu Hao thought, if you dressed like that for class, we'd probably have to move the class to the field before everyone could find a place to sit down.

Yu Hao was a little distracted, but Zhou Sheng listened to him very earnestly and uttered an "un". Chen Yekai said, "Zhou Sheng, look, the one who established the connection was me, while the person who enabled access was you. It could be understood as a sort of 'Consciousness Internet': everyone is a node, while the two of you are the network administrators of this Internet, or in other words, the GMs."

Within an instant, many doubts became clear! Yu Hao could hardly believe that Chen Yekai managed to infer so much with solid rationales through the fragments of information conveyed to him

"I see." It wasn't Zhou Sheng's first time discussing this question with Chen Yekai. He murmured, "So the Golden Crow Wheel is a game server."

"Just a conjecture." Chen Yekai said casually.
