When Xu Xianxian approached, the strange human face seemed to sense something, and its tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing two rotating roses inside.
The patterns, structures and shapes of these two roses are similar to the roses in Xu Xianxian's eyes. The only big difference is that the eyes of the strange human face are not blood-red roses, but pitch black, with a kind of dark gray color full of death.
It coughed lightly a few times, its limbs swaying back and forth as it looked at the girl approaching. "It's been a while since an outsider has come in... cough cough... I calculated, it's been around 4,300 blood years... or maybe 7,600 blood years? Sigh, the years of waiting are so long that my concept of time has become blurred..."
It sometimes looks up, sometimes looks down, as if recalling the past, or as if silently counting the years.
Xu Xianxian didn't say anything, but just slowly approached the strange human face, then slowly raised the small axe in her hand, her eyes full of cruel smile.
The opponent's strength was much higher than the previous Spirit Singer, but that was all. He did not pose a threat to her like the flower tree did.
The strange human face kept muttering to itself, but in the end, it suddenly raised its head and looked at Xu Xianxian's bloody axe. Its eyes, nose, and mouth all squeezed together, and a sincere smile appeared on its face: "...Finally, someone came to kill me."
Its several hideous limbs were trembling excitedly. It had no idea how many years it had been waiting here for this moment to come.
The endless washing away of time has blurred even the memory of being a human being.
"Kill me, then go through this demon-faced door. When you reach the second fork in the road, choose the one on the far right. There's an invisible staircase at the end. Once you step on it, you can bypass the layers of guards in the magic tower and reach the core of the Shadowless Corpse. There's a greater chance you can kill that guy. If you can't kill him, it's just bad luck."
Before dying, the strange human-faced man gave Xu Xianxian some shortcuts on how to kill the shadowless corpse.
It had done what it should have done, so it breathed a sigh of relief, closed its eyes and waited for death. The opponent's axe was full of the breath of death, but it did not make it feel afraid, but full of joy.
"Do you really want to die?"
However, Xu Xianxian's axe did not fall, but stopped in mid-air. In this ruined world, it was the first time she saw a monster with clear consciousness, and it was actively seeking death.
However, the other party's willingness to be killed made her lose interest, and her murderous intent quickly faded away.
"It's not death, it's awakening." The strange human face's eyes were filled with inexplicable complexity. "This is a deep and bottomless nightmare. I can't remember how many times I've fallen into it, or which nightmare I fell into... Oh... This is truly a terrifying and uncomfortable experience... Layer upon layer of nightmares, endless..."
"Can death free me from nightmares?" Xu Xianxian's all-seeing eyes narrowed, seeming to see through many things in that instant. "Can you guarantee that I won't fall into a deeper nightmare?"
"I can't be liberated, but for me, if I die one more time, my consciousness will completely sink into nothingness. This is a disguised form of 'awakening'."
When he was about to be freed, the strange human face calmed down and answered slowly.
It was reluctant to explain this information to outsiders. After all, it had died countless times over the long years and fallen into the abyss of nightmares countless times. Now its memory was only a chaos. It could only occasionally recall its past memories when it was conscious.
"How pitiful." Xu Xianxian understood the meaning, shook her head, sighed, and asked, "Do you know whose nightmare this is?"
She now understood why the flower tree that killed her at the beginning was completely different from the flower tree she saw now, because these were two nightmares.
After dying in a nightmare, one will continue to fall into the next nightmare. At the same time, consciousness will fade away with "death" until it completely disappears.
"...You can actually see that clearly." The cloudy roses in the strange human face's pupils paused for a moment, but then sighed, "But I don't know, and I don't care. Because no matter whose nightmare this is, I can't escape it."
Even the monsters in nightmares can easily contaminate and corrode it, not to mention the owner of this nightmare. Knowing this information or not will not change anything.
"I see."
Xu Xianxian nodded, then swung the axe casually, drawing a blood-red rose in the air, and took away the strange man who had no resistance.
Crash——
After the strange human face was chopped into pieces, no body was left behind. Instead, it gradually dissipated and turned into wisps of gray-black air, dissipating in all directions.
Xu Xianxian stretched out her hand to intercept the gray-black aura, but as soon as she touched it, she felt a stinging pain in her hand. She spread out her hand and took a look. The place where she touched the black aura had turned pitch black.
"Is the pollution so intense?" Xu Xianxian used her all-seeing eyes to suppress the spread of the pollution. A flicker of inexplicable fear rose in her heart, but she quickly regained her composure. "In this nightmare, not only is there a power that can easily pollute the soul, but there are also complete rules and structures. It's completely different from the nightmares I had when I first fought against the nightmare."
The nightmares released by Nightmare have extremely imperfect and imaginative rules, which change with the consciousness of the dreamer and are incompatible with the real world.
But it's different here. Before encountering this strange human face, even Xu Xianxian, who possessed some of the abilities of the All-Seeing Eye, could not tell whether this was a dream or reality.
"But in reality, whether it's a dream or reality, if there's not much difference, then there's no essential difference between the two. Here, life and death will occur, and all kinds of emotions will arise..." Xu Xianxian murmured, the two blood roses in her eyes constantly spinning. "This is the Creator's dream, a real world."
Is this the realm of the True God Throne?
Is it true that the world is just one thought?
Even legendary creatures who have reached the pinnacle of physical life are still shocked by the power of the throne.
Although it is unknown whose nightmare that strange human face represents, a quick thought will reveal that it is either the nightmare of the bloody witch or the nightmare of her enemy throne.
This can only be a dream of the throne.
There is no other explanation besides this.
"I've changed my mind." Xu Xianxian pushed open the demonic door in front of her, a flame suddenly burning in her heart: "I must find a way to obtain the divinity left over from this nightmare. Then, I will use it to ignite the fire of rules, sublimate the essence of life, and strive for the realm of demigod."
