At the moment when Qian Renjue's heart was pierced, the entire world stopped functioning.
The sunlight gradually receded, the ocean dried up, the land began to disappear, and both Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire turned to dust.
From each edge of the continent, even light began to fade.
Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, Flender, and others all stood motionless like statues, and the Star Dou Great Forest started to vanish slowly.
The dream began to collapse.
"Ah Jue!"
Liu Erlong's face was covered in Qian Renjue's blood as she held the gradually cooling body in her arms, her face pale, disheveled, and weary.
Her bloodless lips trembled: "How... how did this happen?!"
Liu Erlong desperately stroked Qian Renjue's face, which still had a trace of warmth, her tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Ah Jue, I'm sorry... Please get up. I... I won't do it again."
"I'll listen to you. Just please get up!"
"....."
Liu Erlong tightly embraced the lifeless body in her arms, ignoring the changes in the surroundings.
She would rather have Qian Renjue speak harshly to her again.
She would rather let herself lying here.
Qian Renjue's consciousness began to drift away, floating in the air.
He looked at the scene before him and at Liu Erlong, sighing deeply.
The story of this dream was finally over!
Thinking about how he could take nothing with him except points, not even his memories, Qian Renjue couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Otherwise, he would still feel conflicted about this world where he fought against his parents.
But when he thought of Liu Erlong, a trace of guilt flashed in Qian Renjue's eyes.
She was the one suffering the most, wasn't she?
Even after returning to reality, Liu Erlong would be tormented by what she experienced in this dream.
No matter which time she came from.
He could only hope she would always remember his advice.
Otherwise, she would suffer even more.
Unless he regained his memory, perhaps only then could he spare her.
The land faded, Yu Xiaogang's corpse turned to ashes, and the figures around him continued to disappear.
Liu Erlong was still lost in grief, hugging Qian Renjue for the first time this way.
Slowly, she lowered her face, her crimson lips slightly parted.
"Ah Jue, I will definitely come and join you."
Liu Erlong murmured.
Having failed multiple times to sneaking a kiss on Qian Renjue, a faint blush appeared on her pale face. She bent down, and try to kiss him for the first time.
But, right before her lips touching his..
Qian Renjue's body had already scattered into the wind.
"What is happening? No, don't take him away!"
Liu Erlong suddenly raised her head, crying and reaching out, trying to grasp the glowing embers drifting away.
"How can this be?!"
Liu Erlong's expression became dull, her eyes unfocused.
She knelt weakly on the ground, her lips trembling slightly.
"The sun... it's gone!"
The entire world was left with only Liu Erlong.
"I'm sorry."
Qian Renjue glanced at Liu Erlong as his consciousness was completely pulled from the world.
Crossing over from day to night, he returned to his own body!
-Buzz!-
A strange light gathered before Liu Erlong's eyes, making her dark pupils shine again.
"Ah Jue, don't leave me!"
Liu Erlong excitedly looked at the soul bone and spherical pendant left behind by Qian Renjue on the ground.
Just as she was about to reach out to grab the pendant, Liu Erlong's body also dissolved, falling into darkness.
...
'Boom!'
Thunder roared, lighting up the night.
Inside a single wooden house in the rain, candlelight flickered.
A woman in bridal attire lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ah Jue!"
Liu Erlong sat up quickly, her face already streaming with tears.
Boom!
Lightning flashed outside.
Liu Erlong looked around in confusion, unable to believe it and unwilling to accept it.
She shook her head wildly.
"No, it's impossible! How can it be a dream? This is the fake one. This world is fake!"
"Ahhhh!"
Liu Erlong screamed, throwing the blanket beside her to the ground.
Clang!
The sound of metal hitting the ground echoed.
Liu Erlong's tear-streaked face looked dull, her despair reigniting into fury!
"It's real. It's all real!"
Liu Erlong scrambled to the ground on her hands and knees, clutching the blood-stained dagger tightly in her hand.
"Haha, this is great. It's real, it's real!"
Liu Erlong looked at the dagger in her hand, then slowly raised her head, tears of joy flooding her eyes as she stared at the bed.
On the bed, neatly placed, were the things Qian Renjue couldn't take with him.
A trunk bone, a spherical pendant, and two stick-like objects.
[Tyrannosaurus Trunk Bone]: Derived from a 70,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus, enhances physical fitness, soul bone skill. Tyrannosaurus Fury increases strength by 100%, defense by 50%.
[Dragon-Seeking Ruler]: A guiding light for finding dragon veins and blood within a certain range.
[Memory Pearl (Sealed)]: A byproduct of a dream, it removes and stores memories, which should have perished with the dream but were preserved due to the seal, awaiting unsealing.
[Bloodcry Blade]: A tool for stripping bloodlines.
...
"Haha, so that's how it is, that's how it is!"
"I'm back, I understand!"
The woman in bridal attire left in the rain, tearing off her wedding dress, stumbling as she walked away.
"Ah Jue, you're back too, aren't you?! I will find you, I will find you."
"Haha, it's real, it's all real!"
Thud!
She fell into the mud but didn't care, getting up and continuing to walk into the distance, laughing as she went to find the boy from her dream.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched after returning to the world of soul masters, it was all in vain.
There was no information about Qian Renjue in the entire soul master world.
Her enthusiasm gradually faded, buried deep within her heart.
Returning to the Heaven Dou Capital where they first met, she waited alone for the boy to reappear.
Little did Liu Erlong know that the two who had met in her dream existed in two vastly different circumstances...
...
In Spirit City, the sun was glaring.
Qian Renjue, who had awoken from a long dream, slowly opened his eyes, feeling slightly dazed.
But in an instant, he returned to normal, as if only the system's voice could prove his experience.
[The dream has ended! Dream world points are being calculated.]
[Remaining points from the dream: 1895 points]
[Host's total: 2955 points]
Qian Renjue was stunned for a moment.
Why were there so many extra points?
But then, Qian Renjue felt his breathing become slightly stuffy.
Looking down at his chest, he saw a pink rabbit sleeping soundly on him.
"Heh, so you are the reason."
Qian Renjue raised his hand, covering his eyes with a faintly bittersweet smile.
He couldn't help but feel a little empty.
"System, do you have any records of the dream?"
[Dear host, let things take their natural course.]
"....."
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes.
After that, no matter how much he called out in his mind, the system didn't respond.
"Sigh~"
Qian Renjue stretched out his arms, helplessly sighing.
"This feeling really sucks."
"Squeak squeak!"
(Your Highness.)
The soft voice of the Soft Bone Rabbit rang out.
Before Qian Renjue could react, everything went black.
"Chomp!"
(Thank you, Your Highness! Xiao Wu is so happy!)
"You dead rabbit, get off my face!"
"Squeak——!"
