Some people say that the difference between a dream and reality is that a dream will wake up sooner or later.

In this case, if the artificially woven dream can continue indefinitely, then in a sense, the person trapped in it will feel that the dream is reality.

"Ding!"

With the sound of silver coins falling to the ground, Styx woke up from the dream he had woken up.

He didn't do anything, he didn't even leave Hyakki Street at the last moment in 1096, but at the same time, he did everything.

It turns out that the divine soldier buried in the Lateran underground is not the real key at all, it is just a tool to change the world.

The real key is "no regrets".

.....

When Xia Feng came out of Styx's house, he had understood everything.

It's the end of the year 1096 in the Terra calendar, and it's the world he has reached without regrets after countless reincarnations.

Is he back?

No, he didn't move forward at all, just had a dream at Styx's house, a dream that made him really "wake up".

To be precise, this artificially woven dream is not illusory, but real, and all the experiences in the dream are memories of what has happened in the past.

It's just that after countless jumps, he has forgotten these things.

.....

The "Xia Feng" who was stripped out succeeded, and he really escaped from the shackles of 3 years and returned to the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago.

In that civilization at the pinnacle of technology, he obtained the highest authority of the Red Asian Federation and buried the divine weapon in Lateran.

Using the afterglow of power, he wants to return to the future.

He had seen the shepherd boy, who had accompanied Xiao Li to found Qingyunmen, and who had also written "Earth and Wind" with Sheena in that bell tower.

But in the end, the "Summer Wind" that successfully returned to the 1093 year of the Terra calendar did not merge with the real him, and those memories also dissipated in the long river of time along with the soul that was stripped away.

He understood, he finally understood, he finally knew what that sense of disobedience in his dream was.

It turned out that when he first found the silver coin on the table of the Styx family, the ancient gods had already been buried in Lateran.

No, not necessarily at that time, maybe earlier.

It was probably the first time he heard about the accident of the shepherd boy in a class at the Royal Academy.

It may have been when he first met Xiao Ye at the port of Shengdi City.

It was probably the first time he had seen the book "The Earth and the Wind" at Sister Mira's house.

Or, even earlier, as early as he met Scati "for the first time", Cross for the "first time", and Vina for the "first time".

......

Styx had long known that Lateran's underground had been buried by the "Summer Wind", but he didn't know who had the authority to open it.

Until that day, he and the four of them came to Baigui Street for the first time and rented the house of Sister Li's family.

So far, the fragmentary memories inherited by Styx from the ancient stone [Styx] have also been successfully connected.

At the same time, the memories of the "Summer Wind" that had been stripped out and disappeared in the long river of time were captured by the power of [Styx].

At that moment, Styx finally remembered that the real Ring of Morbius was not the Terra calendar 1093-1096 at all, but the Red Asian civilization - the Terra civilization.

This is the real cage of eternity.

......

All the opportunities to change the world have already been prepared, but Xia Feng, who has crossed into this world for the first time, has no idea what his other self has done.

If Styx had told him "for the first time" when he decided to challenge the gods of the deep that the Rutland was buried with ancient gods who could completely destroy the scourge and the source stone, and that he had the only access to it, then the world would have been changed long ago.

But Styx didn't.

The reason is simple.

.....

Looking at the entire "summer wind" that has existed for a long time, it is easy to find the answer.

In fact, what he did was not at all for selflessly changing the world.

What he really wants to do is to save those who are insignificant to the world, but irreplaceable to himself.

Even if the natural disaster really disappears and the god of the deep sea is really killed, as long as there are regrets left in his heart, he will reset this world again sooner or later.

Even, from a higher perspective that even Styx didn't know, he had done so countless times.

......

Thinking back to all the memories that had been awakened, Xia Feng understood everything that Styx had said to him before.

He understood why Styx asked again and again at the last moment if he had any regrets and if he would die without regrets.

Because as long as he still has regrets, no matter what changes, this world will be reset by him one day in the future before he dies.

Yes, he is the kind of person who is different from normal people and likes to be mavericks.

On the other hand, it is only when he truly says "no regrets" from the bottom of his heart that Styx will help him awaken the memories left by another "Summer Breeze", that is, the dreams he experienced before.

......

It sounds reasonable, but it's also subjective, and it's what Styx said to him personally.

But it wasn't until Xia Feng walked out of the Styx house that he realized something.

Maybe Styx is right, but from an objective point of view, whether the world changes or not, whether it falls or not, whether it resets or not, has nothing to do with Styx himself.

The man who seemed to be dying at any moment had to spend so much energy to help him weave this dream, and there may have been only one real purpose.

That is, Styx wants him to be truly liberated.

In a world where there is no loss of companions, no despair, and no regrets, live a life of fire feather summer wind.

This is the true tenderness in the heart of the person who seems to be emotionless.

.....

To this day, Xia Feng still can't be sure whether the Li Minghe of the Red Asian Federation is the Styx of Hundred Ghost Street, because the scenes he sees in his dreams may not all be true.

So, that question has an answer.

The silver coin was given to him by Styx in his dream, and he also gave it to Li Minghe in his dream.

Maybe it's all in a dream, or maybe he's still in a dream.

The cycle of reincarnation in the eyes is about to be completely broken, but it is possible that even this world is a small cog in a larger reincarnation.

However, that kind of thing didn't matter to him anymore.

He doesn't have an infinite lifespan to ponder this kind of thing, and now he just wants to spend the rest of his life happily with those who are most important to him.

For him, that's enough.

Walking out of Styx's home, Xia Feng had a sudden smile on his face.

The gloomy sky miraculously shone through the golden sunlight, enveloping the wind-swept Hyakki Street in a bright light.

At this time, the turtle turtle who still hadn't left threw himself into his arms with red eyes and sobbed.

"Big windmill, I don't want to go to Cherrag, I don't want to go there and wait for you, I ..... I have a hunch that if I go, I will never be able to wait for you, woo woo woo woo~"
