Chapter 16: Dream Overlord
There were no other buildings in the wilderness, except for the pitch-black castle that looked eerie under the blood moon. During the day, there are countless people here to explore, but there is no discovery, and those who dare to come to the castle at night will disappear inexplicably, legend has it that there is a spirit god-level powerhouse who also visited this place late at night, but since that night he has never appeared in the world, since then no one dares to explore the castle at night, this sunset castle has become a forbidden place.
"Are we really going in?" Li Xi asked again, even though she was a saint, she was also afraid, after all, she was only a girl who had just turned twenty.
"Go in, there are many powerful Dire wandering in the Sunset Wasteland, I'm afraid it's not something you and I can deal with, this castle may not be more dangerous than the outside." There is a goddess of Tongming to guarantee that Zhanyue is naturally bold, otherwise he would really let him explore the castle at night, and he would not have the courage, after all, this castle is really weird.
The heavy iron gate creaked open with a kick open to the only gate of the castle, and then a gust of wind blew out from inside, making the two of them tremble.
"Let's go!" Zhan Yue swallowed her saliva, and then led Li Xi into the dark castle. Soon after they entered the castle, thousands of corpses of various beasts surrounded them, but they were deterred by the castle, and could only wander outside and wait for their chance.
After entering the castle, even the thin moonlight was gone, and only pitch black remained. Li Xi took out a lantern, and the bright stone emitted light to illuminate the night.
There was nothing strange and scary in the castle, it was empty, and the furniture and decorations had been emptied for thousands of years and months.
"Let's stay here and make plans after dawn." Zhan Yue suggested.
Li Xi looked around and there was nothing else she could do, she had already sensed the dangerous aura outside the castle. "Okay." She could only hope that her grandfather would come over quickly. She didn't know that Fengzun was seriously injured and unconscious at the moment.
"What did you call me to the castle for?" Zhan Yue continued to communicate with the goddess of Tongming who didn't know where she was.
"Although the Dire clan is a spirit, they still have a sense of territory, and the territory of different lords is different, and the Dire under their command cannot enter the territory of other lords at will. And this castle is trapped by a real Dire Lord, who is at least five thousand years old. It is not a local Maharaja, the castle is its private domain, and other Dire are afraid to approach it, so it is relatively safe. The goddess explained.
"That's not right! It's not just out of the wolf's mouth and like a tiger's den! There's a Dire Lord here! Zhan Yue was so shocked that she almost jumped up, the Dire Lord was the king of the Dire clan, and his strength was still above the ordinary Spirit God Realm.
"It's a special situation, I came to this castle once three thousand years ago, before I was at the peak of my strength. The Maharaja had fought with me, and I had sealed it here, but I didn't have the strength to kill it at that time, so I sealed it with the castle, and it could not leave the castle to possess other creatures, and the castle became its body, because this body was a dead thing, and its strength was far inferior to that of other Maharajas. It's just that I didn't expect it to be entrenched here, unrescued by the Dire, and you coincidentally appeared in the Sunset Wasteland. The goddess explained that this maharaja was the first person she had seen since her 'resurrection'.
"That is, we will not be in danger?" Zhan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's not necessarily, anyway, you tell the girl next to you not to fall asleep, the Dire have the ability to erode dreams." The goddess of Tongming reminded. "And you, I need you to take the initiative to enter the dream realm."
"Huh?" Zhan Yue was puzzled.
"If you don't dream it, how can you see it? You and this girl are both Covenanters of Light, and it can't hypnotize you, and it can't hurt you. Rest assured, I'm here. The goddess said.
"Your face is blue for a while and purple for a while, what are you thinking?" Saintess Li Xi observed Zhan Yue's face and asked with concern.
"That's... I have to sleep beforehand, you must stay awake, you must not fall asleep. Zhan Yue suddenly said to Li Xi. The constitution of this girl's light contractor can keep her from being hypnotized, and this maharaja can only hurt others in her dreams, so it is not so terrible.
"Uh..." Li Xi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled and expressed her understanding, "You are also tired, you can sleep at ease, I will keep watch, if there is something, I will wake you up as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you." Zhan Yue immediately lay down, put her hands on her head, and closed her eyes.
Li Xi looked at Zhan Yue curiously, this man is a mystery, he can sleep in this dangerous situation, he is really calm.
Soon after, Zhanyue really fell asleep. After all, he was really tired.
In her sleep, a familiar voice woke Zhan Yue up.
"Zhanyue, don't sleep, it's time for lunch."
Zhan Yue's conditioned reflex generally got up from the bed, her mother had already prepared a table of dishes, all of which were her favorite food, after all, today was her eighteenth birthday.
"Where's Dad?" Zhan Yue sat at the dining table.
"He'll be right back." Zhan's mother served the meal for Zhanyue.
Soon after, a middle-aged man pushed open the door of the house with a package, and he threw the package to Zhanyue. Zhan Yue opened the package excitedly, and it was indeed the watch she wanted.
"In the afternoon, your mother and I went to the hospital to see your grandmother. You can take your classmates to have some fun. Father Zhan took out a thousand yuan from his wallet, "Please have fun with your classmates and have a good life." ”
"Good \(^o^)/~". Zhan Yue happily accepted the money.
Zhan Yue remembers that in the evening, when he was singing with his classmates at KTV, he received the fate-changing phone call that his parents had a car accident. This is an unforgettable painful memory, which Zhan Yue doesn't want to think about anymore, but this dream seems to poke at people's sore spots.
"Sure enough, it's still the pain that tastes the best, tsk."
Suddenly, the scenery around Zhan Yue changed and turned into nothingness, and in front of him stood a black shadow, faceless.
"You... Why did you wake up?! The shadow was startled.
"Well done Zhanyue, I haven't reminded you yet, you woke up on your own." The goddess of Tongming said, but she only felt that Zhan Yue was a little strange at the moment, and her eyes were as cold as the night.
"This is the dream world? Can I borrow your power in this world? You want me to kill it here completely? Zhan Yue asked, seemingly becoming extremely smart.
"Uh... That's true. The goddess of Tongming only felt that Zhanyue's tone was also very cold, without a little human touch.
"Well, that's exactly what I wanted." As soon as Zhan Yue's thought moved, a terrifying force poured into his body, he shone like the sun, a pair of golden armor covered his body, his entire hair was dyed golden, and even his pupils were golden.
"How is that possible?" The Goddess of Tongming was surprised, "Why was he able to enter the 'Sun God' form so easily?" "The Sun God form is the strongest fighting posture of the Tongming Goddess, she obviously didn't teach Zhan Yue, but it seems that he has no teacher.
"Light... Pact of Light? The black shadow on the opposite side was even more shocking, and the strength of this monster in the dream realm even surpassed that of the Tongming Divine Maiden he had ever seen.
"Feeding on dreams? The memories you devour will be gone forever, right? It's a pity that you moved something you shouldn't have moved. Zhan Yue looked at the black shadow coldly, and a pair of golden flame wings unfolded behind him, and instantly came to the black shadow's side, holding the black shadow's neck for a moment, obviously it was just a phantom, but it was still held tightly by Zhan Yue.
"You... Who are you? "The black shadow has never felt so fear, he can actually hurt his own body, this person in front of him can really destroy himself completely." All I have eaten are some painful memories, and you humans should not be more grateful to me? ”
"I thank you for your eight ancestors!" Zhan Yue directly pinched and exploded the black shadow with all his strength, and the black shadow did not die, but condensed from a short distance, and it turned around and was about to run, but the wall of light that suddenly spread out in all directions trapped it firmly.
"......." The Tongming Goddess who was watching the battle from afar was speechless, and her own power was so skillfully used by Zhan Yue, it seemed that it was more convenient than her to use it.
"This kid is really... Is it necessary to enter this unstable state of mind in order to exert all its strength? Forget it, the stronger he is, it's a good thing for me. The goddess of Tongming found that Zhanyue at this moment was a little overbearing, with a pair of eyes that looked at the world, regarded all beings as grass mustard, and could not see emotional fluctuations.
