Chapter 116 Ouroboros Dream Awakens
The ouroboros was the first to notice that Shao Yanzhe had regained his memories. His dark purple snake eyes looked at him, filled with complex emotions.
Soon, his complicated emotions vanished, and he stared greedily at the human in front of him.
"You're really great! You're definitely the one I chose!"
Shao Yanzhe was a human he had carefully selected. After discovering the traces of these humans, he did not act immediately, but observed the surroundings for a long time before choosing his target.
The ouroboros could tell that Shao Yanzhe was the leader among these people when they were together. This showed that he was more outstanding than the others. Then, at night, it silently invaded his dream and, after examining him, confirmed that he was a perfect fit.
Once he can completely integrate with Shao Yanzhe's dream, he will be able to break through his long-standing cultivation bottleneck.
Their ouroboros clan enhances their cultivation by devouring the dreams of other races.
But they don't devour every dream. Just like humans eat, they always choose before eating, selecting the freshest, most delicious, and favorite foods. If something can be eaten raw, they eat it raw; if it can't be eaten raw, they cook it before eating.
He was the same way; Shao Yanzhe was like something that tasted even better after being cooked.
Unexpectedly, her food jumped out of his pot while he was cooking.
However, this is not a big deal; he just needs to put the food back in the pot.
The ouroboros looked to the side of Shao Yanzhe and saw the humans next to him staring at him warily. He smiled.
"Are you really going to leave here?" he asked.
"You should know that this is the hometown you've always dreamed of. If you stay, you can live here forever. Whether it's money, power, or beautiful women, you can get whatever you want."
His voice was seductive: "At that time, you will have inexhaustible money, stand above everyone else, rule the world, and be the god of this world!"
So, stay!
Zhou Jiming and the others immediately showed expressions of worry.
"mean!"
"Shameless!"
"Brother Shao, you wouldn't really stay here, would you?"
"It's hard to say. If this really is Brother Shao's hometown, he probably would find it very difficult to leave."
As Wen Yanqing recalled what she had seen in this world, she felt a pang of melancholy. If she had ever lived in such a world, she probably would have been equally nostalgic and unwilling to leave.
Even if it's fake.
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Shao Yanzhe.
Despite being watched by everyone, Shao Yanzhe's face remained expressionless. The hesitation and doubt that everyone was worried he would show did not appear. He simply stared quietly at the snake in front of him.
Finally, he spoke.
"You said this is my hometown?" he asked.
Ouroboros nodded firmly: "Yes!"
Shao Yanzhe couldn't help but laugh, and the Ouroboros heard the mockery in his laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" he asked, somewhat annoyed, his dark purple snake eyes seeming to burn with a flame.
"Isn't this something you made up based on my memories?" Shao Yanzhe asked, but he was quite certain.
The ouroboros's eyes flashed, and he asked hesitantly, "How did you know?"
Shao Yanzhe smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's because this world is just too incongruous. You only saw the tip of the iceberg of my hometown from my memories, and then arbitrarily made my hometown look like this. It's really too much!"
"I really have some doubts about whether your expertise is truly in dream manipulation."
This is blatant mockery, truly naked mockery.
"You!" The Ouroboros was truly enraged. In their Ouroboros clan, who didn't know they were skilled in dream manipulation?
It can be said that as long as it is a dream they create, even the dream's owner will treat it as reality.
Shao Yanzhe tilted his head slightly and looked at the ouroboros, saying, "You said before that I would rule this world, right?"
"Yes!" Ouroboros said irritably. Since this dream was unusable anyway, he needed to rebuild a dream to make Shao Yanzhe addicted to it, so he didn't lie.
"Oh, that's wonderful!"
Shao Yanzhe's eyes shone brightly. Then, he closed his eyes and began to construct his hometown from the depths of his memory.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery began to change.
The sea that stretched along the roadside slowly receded, replaced by towering buildings rising from the ground, bustling with traffic, and the neon lights of the modern city illuminating the darkness all night long.
The bluestone and dirt roads are covered with black asphalt, and white lines, like living fish, mark the road on the black surface.
The brilliant starlight overhead flickered, and the still-shining starlight combined with the surrounding starlight to form patterns that were both strange and familiar.
Those giant square buildings floating in the air were crammed into the huge screen, where a series of breathtaking scenes began to unfold.
Everything gradually became harmonious and beautiful.
Looking around, the group didn't initially think there was anything wrong with the dream world they had just experienced.
For them, whether it is the modern era, the contemporary era, or the future, these are all scenes they have never seen before. When these scenes are pieced together, they cannot perceive the differences between them at all.
Now, thanks to Shao Yanzhe's modifications, this dream has undergone a complete transformation.
The cars that had been floating in the sky returned to the ground, and the massive floating buildings entered the screens. Everything changed in an orderly fashion, and the world that was finally presented to them was still breathtaking.
Looking at the world before them and comparing it to the world they had been in, they realized that the previous world was indeed incongruous. They couldn't help but look at the ouroboros, their eyes filled with an unreadable expression.
As the ouroboros observed the changes in this dream world, it became clear that it had made a grave mistake.
He, a dignified ouroboros, couldn't even distinguish between the false and the real.
Instantly, a wave of shame and indignation swept over him.
What a disgrace!
"Screech!" He suddenly opened his mouth and roared, then his snake body suddenly expanded, wantonly destroying everything around him.
Skyscrapers were snapped in half by the impact and then vanished, leaving behind only ruins.
"You will all die!"
The ouroboros let out a final roar, and now he had only one thought in his mind: these humans absolutely cannot be allowed to live!
His massive body charged toward the few tiny humans below.
"Oh no! The Ouroboros has gone berserk!"
"Run!"
Zhou Jiming and the others quickly moved away from the ouroboros.
Shao Yanzhe neither hid nor avoided it; this was not reality, but his dream world.
Since he can manipulate and modify dreams, can he also use this ability to trap the snake in front of him?
He stared at the enormous snake in front of him, when a wall suddenly rose up, blocking his way.
With a "thud," the ouroboros crashed into the wall.
The wall remained completely still.
Before Shao Yanzhe could even show any joy, the sound of the ouroboros came from the other side of the wall.
"Hiss! Ridiculous! You actually dared to try and attack me using dreams!"
"Daydreaming!"
The next moment, the wall that Shao Yanzhe created collapsed and fell downwards.
Only then did he realize that the ground he was standing on had disappeared sometime during the day, leaving him with nothing but emptiness beneath his feet. Looking down, it seemed as if there was an abyss waiting to devour everything at any moment.
Realizing he wasn't standing on anything, Shao Yanzhe jolted and began to fall downwards, falling and falling.
It was as if the concepts of time and space had disappeared, and everything around was dark.
He wanted to regain control of the dream world, but found it was impossible. There seemed to be a layer between him and the dream world, and if he wanted to control it, he would have to get rid of that layer.
However, this barrier is very strong, and there is no way to regain control of the dream in a short period of time.
He looked up and saw that he was getting further and further away from the city above.
"Brother Shao!" At this moment, a familiar voice rang out.
Looking over, Shao Yanzhe saw that not far from him, Zhou Jiming and the others were falling like him.
He controlled his body and moved towards them.
How did you get here?
"Hehe, we were worried about Brother Shao's safety, so we all entered your dream to try and wake you up. But in the end, it was Brother Shao who had to do it himself," Zhou Jiming said somewhat embarrassedly.
Shao Yanzhe disagreed: "If it weren't for you, by the time I regained consciousness, the ouroboros would have already devoured me. I owe you all this time!"
Zhou Jiming and the others were very pleased to hear this.
"Meow!" At this moment, Xuan Yao jumped over from the side, landed on Shao Yanzhe's head, and then climbed onto his shoulders and lay on his back.
Shao Yanzhe reached out and patted Xuan Yao's head, his smile very gentle: "Good, good, you're very capable too, you've helped me a lot!"
"Brother Shao, this is your dream. You are awake now. Can you wake up now?" Wen Yanqing asked.
Shao Yanzhe shook his head: "No, the dream must be locked by the Ouroboros. There's no way to leave the dream now."
"That's a bit troublesome."
"But don't worry, I will regain control of the dream world as soon as possible."
Shao Yanzhe assured him that this was, after all, his dream. Even if the Ouroboros used his abilities to strip him of control, he would still be able to regain it.
"Then we'll have to rely on Brother Shao from now on!"
"no problem!"
As Shao Yanzhe spoke, he seized control.
It must be said that the Ouroboros's abilities are truly formidable; in the dream world, they can use their powers to strip the dreamer of control over their dream.
In Shao Yanzhe's eyes, the dream world is like a puppet bound by thin strings, and the ouroboros controlling the strings can manipulate the dream at will.
If Shao Yanzhe wants to regain control of the dream world, he needs to cut those fine threads one by one.
There were about nine of those thin threads left. It wasn't a large number, but cutting them would be quite difficult.
Shao Yanzhe was cutting one of the lines, which was very difficult.
Watch your step!
Zhou Jiming shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and their expressions changed drastically.
Beneath their feet, the previously dark space vanished, replaced by the gaping maw of the ouroboros.
Looking down from above, you can see the sharp teeth on this huge mouth and the constantly wobbling forked tongue.
