The noise was getting louder and louder, but the chirping was gradually disappearing, and Qi Lu finally heard it clearly, it was the fluttering of the wings of some kind of insect swarm in flight

These insects were approaching from the depths of darkness, but Qi Lu had some strange consciousness in his heart, and at this moment of danger, he didn't feel afraid, on the contrary, he felt that there was a feeling of anesthesia after the liquor penetrated his intestines

Qi Lu opened his eyes wide and checked that there was a warm wind blowing around him

There was no murderous aura and nothing particularly unusual about the air currents swept by the countless wings flapping

The sky lit up, and it was a flock of thousands of butterflies flying towards Qi Lu

Where did they come from, why are there so many butterflies, Qi Lu didn't know what the female dream demon was doing, but he unconsciously forgot about the danger

The flock of butterflies flew in the direction of Qi Lu, with a clear purpose, as if to envelop his long body in the darkness

The light formed by the butterflies is getting brighter and warmer, and the whole night sky is dyed in a colorful world, which is very beautiful

They gently stayed on Qi Lu's body, and the butterflies that arrived later had to flutter around Qi Lu's head because they couldn't squeeze into Qi Lu's side, and at the same time, a familiar fragrance silently sneaked into Qi Lu's nose

"Remember," the female dream demon's gentle words poured directly into his mind, and at the same time, Qi Lu found that the world had changed again, and he was in the huge garden when he accidentally broke into Pei Liping's dream for the last time

Why is it so sudden sadness kept coming to his heart, Qi Lu felt that he didn't even have the strength to lift his sword, and the sense of battle evaporated in an instant, leaving only the melancholy heartbeat

"Pan Butterfly," Qi Lu muttered in a low voice, touching these colorful butterflies that stopped on his body, knowing that they were all illusory, but it felt so real

Suddenly, there was a screaming sound in the distance, the sky was as red as blood, and without warning, all the butterflies seemed to have been slashed by sharp weapons, and in an instant, they turned into two petals and fell to the ground

"Don't," Qi Lu cried out, tears rolling in his eyes

His consciousness blurred, and the golden sword made a dragon-like roar, hovering over his head like a loyal guard

An even more terrifying scene unfolded before his eyes, from the remains of the butterfly corpses piled up into a hill, a man covered in blood quietly stood up, he was wearing the king's armor, although he was seriously injured, there were many wounds on his chest, and he was bleeding constantly, but he still could not hide the heroic look

Qi Lu saw that his right shoulder armor had been shattered, but the longbow in his hand still emitted a golden light of the soul

"Give up, you won't succeed" The void was full of loud voices, full of the majesty of the emperor, and many thunderbolts dancing wildly in the air, as if to set off the majestic sound

The injured man laughed wildly, "As long as I have a breath, don't expect me to give up"

"It's all like this, don't you know how to get lost, God has the virtue of a good life, as long as you admit that you are wrong, the gate of the fairy world will never be closed" Another voice floated from the clouds, a soft female voice

But the wounded man was not affected in the slightest, he raised his longbow and aimed it at the sky, his right hand was already on the string, and a golden arrow quietly appeared on the bowstring, and with the appearance of this golden arrow, the whole world trembled, and everywhere there were ghosts crying and wolves howling

"Even if I die, the Kunlun gods will not escape the fate of perdition," the words shouted so loudly, as if all their strength had been exhausted

The golden arrow shot into the sky at an incomparable speed, as if to destroy the supreme will, and destroy the heavens and the earth along with it

There was a loud bang, the golden arrow disappeared, the injured man fell to the ground like a mountain, never to get up again, and the world was restored to a quiet place, which was worrying and suffocating

"My king," Qi Lu knelt on the ground, tears flowed uncontrollably, and suddenly he felt his heart crack open and shatter like steel

Space resumed, and the voice of the Dark Dream Demon sounded again: "This is your real nightmare"

It was like a word that woke up the person in the dream, and the golden sword in Qi Lu's hand was raised again, but this time there was no murderous aura

"Who are you," Qi Lu, who had regained his senses, shouted to the sky

"He is dead, and I have been blessed with his image, and I have engraved his image in my dreams," said the dreamer, "I thought you had forgotten his story, but now it seems that you have not."

Qi Lu watched in a daze as the female dream demon appeared in front of him again, but he didn't have any will to fight

He felt that he was approaching all the truth, all those memories that had been forcibly sealed deep in his heart were flooding his fragile mind like a tide, and he didn't know how long he could bear it

Qi Lu sighed at the sky, and the mystery that had been stuffed in his heart for a long time for so many days had an answer at this time

The memory that was sealed in the depths of his heart and that no monster could peep at was easily displayed by this dream-eating tapir he thought Qi Lu felt that his brain was about to explode, because there was only one fact that could perfectly explain the original situation, that is, it was not a demon who fought with him, but a god, so a god who could appear freely in a dream was a god in this world, and only one god could do him

"The gods are dead, why do you still exist," Qi Lu had mixed feelings, although he had guessed the identity of the god in front of him, he still couldn't believe that all this was true

"Hehe," the female dream demon Yinling laughed, "You finally remembered, it's real and unreal, don't care about my teasing just now, these incarnations are just to punish you for your disrespect to me"

"Birch tell me why you're still alive" Qi Lu grabbed her collar and roared: "Or tell me they're all alive"

But Qi Lu seemed to have grasped the void, and the man he called Birch disappeared from front of him again

The space changed like flowing water, and finally became the appearance he had when he first entered, holy as the white light from heaven shining on him

A royal chair landed in front of Qi Lu, and the freeze frame chair rose, and colorful light swirled, hovering, and finally focused into an image

At first, the image was just a transparent figure, and slowly the outline of the whole body could be seen, and finally even every hair of his face could be clearly seen

This is a young man dressed in ancient Confucian robes, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a brown left eye and a blue right eye under his forehead, which looks mysterious and ghostly, and people will fall into the magic of his pupils if they look at it more

Qi Lu looked at him coldly, but his beautiful and bewitching facial features did not have the slightest feminine softness, but exuded a manly heroic spirit

With the manifestation of this god, Qi Lu finally did not have to look for the answer like guessing a riddle, because he recognized this god as Birch, the god of dreams recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas

Qi Lu couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart: No wonder he can't be cleaned up in the dream, but instead he wants to cry without tears to play tricks on him, who made me unlucky to meet the real controller of the dream, he is the king of all dream-eating tapirs, wait a minute, let's see how he treats me first, and it's not too late to act when I see the opportunity

"I am the primeval and the contract with you, which lasts forever, is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipotent," the hymn-like song that Qi Lu had heard resounded in the space again

"Come on, can you stop these bluffs" The golden sword in Qi Lu's hand turned back into the pendant and hung it back around his neck

"Ha, I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while," Birch opened the folding fan, and a chair appeared behind Qi Lu

"You may be seated"

Qi Lu sat on the chair unceremoniously, and when he saw him folding the fan in his hand, and a jade table appeared in the gap between the two, and the table was full of tea sets, and the tea in the cups was also oozing with a jade-like green color like the jade table

"If it weren't for my old friends, I wouldn't be willing to take it out and invite you to taste it."

"Do you know that you treat guests like this when you say polite words?" Qi Lu replied angrily

"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, and you might as well drink this tea and listen to me slowly."

Qi Lu raised his glass and drank it all according to his words, and suddenly felt sweet and delicious, and there was a warm current flowing in his body

"If you have anything to say, just ask, I'll say anything," Birch said to him with a smile

"Why Didn't You Die"

"Hehe, it's such a sharp question," Birch put away the folding fan and said: "Since the great catastrophe, all the gods have fallen, and since then, demons are rampant in the world, this is the consensus of the Three Realms, but there are many people who don't know, and there are still a few empty realms that have escaped the plague, and the gods who live there have survived by luck."

"I know, for example, Qingqiu, because of a special enchantment, the fox fairy who lives there is still safe."

"Yes, in the same way, I am living in an unrealistic dream, so any disaster in the Three Realms will not fall on my head."

"That's also a good person, a bad guy doesn't live often, and a bad guy lives for a thousand years," Qi Lu's poor mouth came again, completely forgetting that he had suffered a lot here in Birch just now

"It seems that not only has your personality changed greatly, but also many bad habits in the world," Birch knew that he was teasing himself, but he was not angry, but continued: "If it does not affect it, it is also impossible, the affairs of the divine realm have not interfered with me, on the contrary, the catastrophe of the world is not good for me."

"It's impossible," Qi Lu was surprised, if there was a catastrophe in the world, the surviving human beings would not be able to forget those terrifying memories, and it was reasonable that they were prone to nightmares, why did Birch still say that it was not good for him

Seeing Qi Lu's disbelief, Birch sighed lightly and said, "You must know that although I am the God of Dreams and the Kunlun gods, I also rely on the faith of believers to maintain my divine power."

Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, although he already knew this secret belonging to the Protoss, but he couldn't see any effect on Birch, after all, the Oneiroi didn't need the worship of believers, he just needed to shuttle freely in the dream realm, so that people could worship him

"There are more and more new religions, and the ancient Genshin Gods like me are naturally receiving less and less incense," Birch said, "but it wasn't fatal, and it really hit me in the late '60s."
