The moment Qian Renjue's heart was pierced, the entire world froze.
The sun's rays slowly retracted.
The ocean gradually dried up, and the land began to vanish. Star Luo and Heaven Dou City crumbled into dust.
Starting from the edges of the continent, even light itself began to fade into oblivion.
Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, Flender, and the others stood frozen like statues.
The Star Dou Great Forest slowly dissipated.
The dream began to collapse.
"A'Jue!"
Liu Erlong's face was stained with Qian Renjue's blood as she cradled his cooling body. Her face was deathly pale, gaunt, and her hair was disheveled.
Her bloodless lips trembled. "How could this... how could this happen?!"
Liu Erlong frantically stroked Qian Renjue's still-warm face, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.
"A'Jue, I'm sorry. Please wake up, okay? I... I'll never do it again."
"I'll listen to you from now on. Please, wake up!"
"..."
Liu Erlong clutched the corpse tightly, oblivious to the world around her.
She would have preferred Qian Renjue's cold words to this. She would have preferred to be lying here in his place.
Qian Renjue's consciousness began to drift away, floating in the air.
He looked down at the scene below, at Liu Erlong, and let out a long sigh.
The story of this world is over!
Thinking that he could take nothing with him except his points—not even his memories—Qian Renjue couldn't help but feel a flicker of relief. Otherwise, he would have found it hard to accept this world where he had been forced to fight his own parents.
But then he thought of Liu Erlong, and a trace of guilt flickered in his eyes. She was the one who would suffer the most. Even if she returned to reality, the experiences of this dream would torment her. It didn't matter which time she came from.
He could only hope she would always remember his warning. Otherwise, her pain would only intensify. Unless he could recover his memories, perhaps he might spare her life.
The mountains dissolved, and Yu Xiaogang's corpse crumbled to ash. The figures around him vanished one by one. Liu Erlong remained lost in grief, still holding Qian Renjue for the first time. She slowly lowered her face, her crimson lips parting slightly.
"A'Jue," she murmured, "I'll come with you."
After multiple failed attempts to ambush him, a faint blush tinged her deathly pale face. But her icy red lips remained inches from their target.
Qian Renjue's body began to dissipate into the wind.
"What... what's happening? No! Don't take him away!"
Liu Erlong suddenly raised her head, crying out and reaching out to grasp the glowing motes drifting away.
"How could this happen?!"
Liu Erlong's expression suddenly turned blank, her eyes unfocused.
She knelt weakly on the ground, her red lips trembling slightly.
"The sun... has vanished!"
The entire world now consisted only of Liu Erlong.
"I'm sorry."
Qian Renjue glanced at Liu Erlong, his consciousness completely withdrawn from this world.
He crossed day and night... and returned to his body!
Buzz!
A strange light coalesced before Liu Erlong's eyes, causing her dark pupils to regain their luster.
"A'Jue... don't leave me!"
Liu Erlong stared at the Soul Bone on the ground and the spherical pendant Qian Renjue had left behind, her expression filled with emotion.
Just as she reached out to grasp the pendant...
Liu Erlong's body also vanished, plunging into a sea of darkness.
Boom—!
Thunder roared, illuminating the night.
Inside the solitary wooden cabin, bathed in candlelight, a woman in a wedding gown suddenly opened her eyes.
"A'Jue!"
Liu Erlong sat up abruptly, tears already streaming down her beautiful face.
Boom—!
Lightning flashed outside.
Liu Erlong looked around in confusion, disbelief and denial warring within her. She shook her head frantically.
"No, it's impossible! How could it have been a dream? This is the fake one! The fake one!"
"Aaaah!"
Liu Erlong screamed and flung the blanket beside her onto the floor.
Clang!
The sound of metal hitting the floor echoed through the room.
Her tear-stained face, once blank, now showed a flicker of life, a spark of madness.
"It's real... it's all real!"
Liu Erlong crawled onto the floor, her face contorted with a manic grin. She clutched the blood-red dagger tightly in her hand.
"Hahaha! Wonderful! It's real, it's real!"
She stared at the dagger, then slowly raised her head to look at the bed. Tears of joy streamed down her face.
On the bed lay the items Qian Renjue had left behind: a Tyrannosaurus Rex torso bone, a spherical pendant, and two chopsticks-like objects.
[Tyrannosaurus Rex Torso Bone]: Harvested from a 70,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex. Enhances physical attributes and grants the Soul Bone Skill: Tyrannosaurus Rage—doubling strength and increasing defense by 50%.
[Dragon-Seeking Compass]: A guiding light for locating dragon lairs and dragon blood within a certain range.
[Memory-Shedding Pearl (Sealed)]: A byproduct of the Yellow Millet Dream, used to extract and store memories. It should have vanished with the dream, but was preserved by a seal. Currently in a sealed state.
[Bloodshed Blade]: A sharp weapon for extracting bloodlines.
"Haha! So that's how it is! That's how it is!"
"I'm back! I understand now!"
The slender figure in her wedding gown vanished into the rain, tearing at her bridal attire.
Staggering, she stumbled away into the distance.
"A'Jue, you've come back too, haven't you?! I'll find you! I'll find you!"
"Haha! It's real! It's all real!"
Thud!
She collapsed into the muddy ground, but Liu Erlong didn't care. She rose again and continued her journey.
Laughing wildly, she set out to find the young man from her dreams.
Alas...
When Liu Erlong returned to the Soul Master World and searched with desperate frenzy, her efforts proved futile.
Not a single trace of Qian Renjue could be found anywhere in the Soul Master World.
Her passion gradually waned, buried deep within her heart.
She returned to Heaven Dou City, where they had first met, and waited alone for the young man to reappear.
Liu Erlong could never have imagined that the two who had met in her dreams were living in vastly different time periods.
In Martial Soul City, the sun still shone brightly.
Qian Renjue slowly opened his eyes, a dazed expression on his face.
But in an instant, he returned to normal.
Only the System's voice could prove he had experienced anything at all.
[Yellow Millet Dream concluded! Calculating dream world points.]
[Remaining dream points: 1895]
[Host's remaining points: 2955]
Qian Renjue was stunned. How had he gained so many points?
Suddenly, he felt his breathing grow heavy.
Looking down at his chest, he saw a pink rabbit curled up asleep on top of him.
"Ah, so it was you who contributed them."
Qian Renjue raised a hand to cover his eyes, a wistful smile playing on his lips.
He felt strangely empty.
"System, do you have a save file for the Yellow Millet Dream?"
[Dear Host, simply let things flow naturally.]
"..."
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes in exasperation.
From then on, no matter how desperately he called out in his mind, the System ignored him.
"Sigh..."
Qian Renjue spread his arms wide, sighing helplessly.
"This feeling is truly awful."
"Squeak!"
(Holy Son!)
The Soft Bone Rabbit's soft call startled Qian Renjue. Before he could react, his vision went black.
"Awoo!"
(Thank you, Holy Son! Xiao Wu is so happy!)
"You damn rabbit, get off my face!"
"Squeak—!"
May your lives be filled with joy!
