Rose...Why is it rose again?
Su Yun felt a little difficulty breathing. He reached out to pick up the spoon, but the aftereffects of the medicine made his wrist weak and he could hardly scoop up the thick soup.
What's worse is that there is a guy next to him who can't be ignored, and his gaze can be described as scorching.
"Do you need my help?" Although it was a question, Edelman seemed to be eager for him to agree immediately.
"No need." Su Yun gently put down the spoon. "I never asked, and I don't think you will give me an answer, but... why did you kidnap me? What do you want? Or, what do you want?"
This question really made Edelman stunned. After a brief silence, he suddenly smiled gently: "No, how can this be kidnapping?"
Just like perfunctorily dealing with an ignorant child, he reached out and held Su Yun's wrist: "You are the one chosen by God. Fate has brought us together. You were born to be here - don't understand? It doesn't matter. You will understand later."
Edelman was a handsome man, and his affectionate words were even more touching, but unfortunately, this scene was not in a windy place. He simply said nothing, just shook off Edelman's wrist and watched his performance indifferently.
However, Su Yun's indifference did not calm Edelman down. On the contrary, the man seemed to become more active and excited because of his gaze.
"It seems that you are not hungry." He lowered his voice and said without hesitation, "That's right, you drank the dragon's blood, so you won't feel hungry. I neglected it. You must be very tired now, right? You need to rest."
Dragon's blood? What is that?
Edelman walked around the dining table, leaned over and picked up Su Yun. Su Yun frowned: "Please put me down."
"Yes." Edelman answered and put him on the bed beside him.
Su Yun now didn't even have the strength to support himself, he could only let Adam play with him. After Adam put him down, he turned around and cleaned up the table. At this time, the fragrance of the roses seemed even stronger.
The small door next to the cabin slowly opened, and before leaving, Edelman reluctantly said goodnight to him: "Please have a good sleep, I'll wait for you to wake up."
The small door slid shut, and the scent of the roses grew thickly like the roots of plants. Su Yun was trapped in it, unable to move. He even had the feeling of being in the rose garden.
The illusion of eternal sleep. When the fragrance became strong to a certain threshold, Su Yun could no longer control his consciousness and he fell into a deep sleep.
Su Yun's shadow, which had been very quiet since he entered the ruins, finally slowly opened its claws like a monster waking up from hibernation.

When Su Yun opened his eyes, he saw the magnificent starry sky.
This is a clear sky with no obstructions at all.
Am I dreaming again? At a time like this...
"My God, what are you looking at?" Jasmine was sitting by the campfire, flipping through the book on his knees. "There will be a meteor shower in ten days, and the night sky will be more beautiful at that time."
Su Yun was slightly stunned. He turned around and looked at Jasmine quietly.
Jasmine looked so real, he was sitting next to him, his skin glowing with a faint glow, the firelight shining on his body outlining his tough features, he was smiling, his smoky gray eyes seemed to contain mist, the orange-red light shone on his originally dark red hair, making it seem alive.
Is this world really a dream?
If so, then what is that world like when the dream wakes up?
"My Lord, why are you looking at me like that?" Jasmine smiled gently. "We will enter the capital of Anglan tomorrow. This camping experience will finally come to an end."
Oh, yes, the dream has progressed to this point...
Su Yun nodded gently and asked subconsciously: "Where's Anita?"
Jasmine raised her eyebrows with a subtle look: "Oh, my God... Although it's like this every time you wake up, asking me about Anita directly would make me jealous. He has been brought back by you and is probably eavesdropping on our conversation now."
Su Yun: “…”
The tent was set up around the campfire, and he didn't care if Anita was really eavesdropping. The little white snake was now coiled around his wrist, and its ruby eyes were just as beautiful in the firelight.
Theresa was also in the tent, but Isis arrived at the capital of Anglan before them.
Su Yun nodded the little snake's head, then stood up: "Jasmine, I'll be gone for a while, it won't take too long."
Jasmine closed the book: "My Lord, please let me accompany you."
"No, no need, thank you." Su Yun stood up and disappeared on the spot.

What's different.
As the Father disappeared before her eyes, Jasmine looked at the bonfire in front of her and keenly caught this
.
Julia hasn't fully woken up yet and Flora can't even move. Has the Father realized that he is dreaming?
This time... the speed is a bit faster
There was the sound of footsteps behind me; it was Theresa walking out of the tent.
Theresa's voice spread through the night: "Has the Father left?"
"Yes." Jasmine also stood up and handed the book in her hand to Theresa, "Here I give it back to you. It's a very interesting little thing."
Theresa took the book: "Where's Anita."
"Maybe it's hiding in some dark corner?" Jasmine sneered, "Like a hibernating snake."
The dry conversation came to an abrupt end here. Jasmine and Theresa had nothing much to talk about. Although their relationship was not bad compared to other brothers, it was still a life-and-death struggle.
Teresa gently stroked the book in her hand. She opened the gold-rimmed cover, revealing its delicate inner page in the firelight. On the title page was a silhouette of a woman.
Flora had not yet woken up, so Theresa could only get these from the projection of Father God's dream. He stroked the book with care and murmured to himself: "What an interesting story. I really want to... dream with Father God..."
Jasmine smiled proudly, her smile full of malice: "It will be soon. We don't need to wait much longer. Julia may be able to catch up, but... well, Flora must be in pain now."
"He is a king, a monarch, and a shadow." Theresa sighed, "He will always have to pay the price for what he has done."

Su Yun arrived at his destination very quickly.
In this world, his power is unlimited. Not only can his words come true, he can also carry out his orders just by thinking about it in his mind.
The moonlight tonight is beautiful. The bright moonlight and starlight illuminate the ground together. Su Yun looked up at the tall stone gate in front of him. The patterns on it were exquisite and magnificent, but compared to the gate of the underground palace, it did look more like a cemetery.
Su Yun stood in front of Anita's underground palace.
Last time his goal was very clear. He came here to take Anita away. This underground palace was just an inconspicuous stone in the middle of the road. In order not to affect the game in the human world, Su Yun always suppressed himself when leaving the Divine Court.
But this time is different. This time Su Yun wants to take a closer look at this underground palace.
He pushed open the heavy stone door. At this moment, all the details of the underground palace entered his mind, from the complex road layout to the large and small halls and rooms, and even the details of each corridor.
Little dust... no matter what it is, it cannot escape Su Yun's will.
Exactly the same...
Really, exactly the same
Those reliefs, those altars, those roads connecting to the gates - everything is highly consistent with the underground palace of the ancient ruins.
Anita's underground palace and the ruins on the edge of the desert, the only difference between them is probably the time?
The former is a sacrificial hall that was built hundreds of years ago and has just been out of use; while the latter is a cultural relic that shocked the world after being opened by later generations after being sealed for many years.
Su Yun walked into the tunnel involuntarily. The heavy stone door slammed shut behind him. The lights along the corridor lit up one by one, providing him with useless, flattering light.
The wide walkway is stable, the reliefs on the stone walls are regular and symmetrical, and there are countless intricate branches. The wind wanders here, bringing waves of sounds like a girl's sobbing.
The corridor suddenly opened up, and Su Yun came to a huge hollowed-out space. There stood a towering stone door, on which was still clearly engraved the most beautiful temple in human imagination.
This was not the first time Su Yun had seen this kind of scene, but the last time he had seen it was only in photos and restoration drawings. The murals at that time were blurry and thick, and traces of time were everywhere in every corner of the murals.
Su Yun didn't know what to do. He just kept walking forward. The door opened for him, revealing the hellish scene inside.
——It was a mountain of mummies, men, women, young and old, regardless of age or gender.
Anita is a parasite, and her "survival" requires vitality at all times. In revenge, Jasmine drained his altar, and all the sacrifices that supported Anita died in an instant.
Perhaps after thousands of years, these corpses will become skeletons without any flesh left.
Su Yun continued to move forward. He passed many similar spaces and finally arrived at the garden where he had stayed last time.
...a garden with only one rose.
The gate outside the garden has been replaced with bronze. Su Yun looked up and stared at the relief on the gate.
The excavation of the ruins came to an abrupt end here, where an earthquake-like explosion occurred and he was taken away.
The door burst open, and the corpses of monsters were tangled all over the ground. The twisted limbs and deformed shells were so horrifying, as if not even death could end their suffering.
The last survivor moved all the ordinary people to the altar and gathered all the monsters together. Maybe he prayed for God's salvation in the end, but it was obvious that the gods didn't care.
In the distance is the golden door belonging to Anita's room, and in front of the door... in front of the door is a pool of soft, rotten flesh and blood. He used to be a giant maggot, and he used to be a high priest with one-seventh of the god's blessing.
His voice suddenly rang in Su Yun's ears. It was his last cry before he collapsed.
"It's all God... God's sin... original sin..."
The author has something to say: Muah!
