She walked out of Yulou Pass, the cold wind howling past her on both sides, the mist ahead dissipated, but the two figures were nowhere to be seen.
Chang Le stood there blankly, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that Yulou Pass was gone. Behind him was a desolate wasteland of dark red earth, with white bones every ten steps, and death permeated the endless wasteland.
Suddenly, a loud bang resounded. She looked into the depths of the wasteland and saw a deep abyss-like rift split open in the sea of clouds. Large plumes of blood, wrapped around a golden dragon, plummeted down, and a terrifying, blinding nine-colored black light flashed through the rift.
The light was clearly black, yet Chang Le felt as if he were staring directly at the sun, his eyes stinging terribly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar face lying among several enormous, monstrous corpses that blotted out the sky in an open space not far in front of him.
His blond hair was dull, his body was covered in blood, and cracks were everywhere, making him look like a broken piece of porcelain.
A chilling cold air rushed straight to Chang Le's head, almost suffocating him.
That's... Fu Guang!
What happened? What's going on?
In an instant, the progress bar of memory seemed to be forcibly pulled forward, quickly sweeping across several years.
...
"—Fuguang, I've been having a lot of dreams lately. I dream that we've known each other for a long time. What are those things in my dreams?"
"Lele, I don't want to deceive you, but the past has been so painful, and you've only just settled down. I don't want to sow any more seeds of despair in your heart. I'll tell you the answer when you're strong enough to protect yourself, okay?"
—It's a deal.
...
"Fu Guang, in my dream I saw myself as an adult, I saw... us promising to stay together under the starry sky. So, were we lovers?"
"We are family, lovers, and each other's sun."
"Fuguang, I want to grow up quickly and hug you."
"Being by my side, I can briefly transform into the grown-up version of you."
"Fuguang, can I stay by your side forever?"
"...My darling, I will always protect you."
...
"—Fuguang, I think I'm sick. I actually saw Sister Xiaoye at Dragon Scale!"
"...Oh right, I remember now. I created a new 'Ye Buqi', Fu Guang. She's in my heart, but I forgot about her."
...
"—Fuguang, I saw 'Cat' and 'Dog'. They're so pretty, but their names are awful. Who came up with them?"
—"A person named Jiu Fanggui. They are respectively guarding two god-level secret realms, [God Creation] and [Dragon Tomb], but the [God Creation] guarded by the dog is temporarily in the hands of someone else."
"—Hasn't Jiu Fanggui already passed away? [The God Creation] no longer has a master."
"No, it is waiting for a new owner."
...
"Fu Guang, the withered tree has blossomed, but another one has withered and turned yellow."
"But regardless of life or death, light or darkness, they still stay together and depend on each other."
...
"—Fu Guang, don't go! You're not allowed to go to the Northern Border! You're not allowed to venture into the no-man's land! Why should they be afraid to go themselves and make you go instead! You'll be in danger, you'll die!!"
"Sweetie, something was left there, and I need to get it back."
"What is more important than life?"
"I'll bring you a present when I come back."
Memories flooded her mind, and Chang Le's frozen body regained its autonomy. She ran towards the people on the wasteland, but tripped and fell into a cloud of endlessly falling mist.
"Fu Guang!"
She finally cried out in surprise as she saw Mu Liangchao squatting in front of her.
She grabbed him tightly, her voice trembling with shock and tears: "Mu Liangchao! I dreamt of years later! Fu Guang, he's in trouble! He, he's in the no-man's land, in the wilderness, he..."
Mu Liangchao froze for a moment, then forced a smile and said gently, "Don't scare yourself. You are the young master, you can't panic. We have reached the edge of the wasteland and will find Fu Guang soon. He will be alright."
Young Master?
wilderness?
Chang Le suddenly froze, looking around in disbelief.
The desolate wilderness stretched as far as the eye could see, its color a dark red tinged with dried blood, the thick, bloody aura and deathly stillness pressing down on one, making it hard to breathe.
The gloomy, rough clouds churned and rolled, indistinguishable between the sky and the raging sea, bringing a dizzying sense of the world turning upside down.
Surrounding them were Changfeng, Chen Wusui, Guidao, Mu Liangchao, Yuanwei, and Wan Buxun, some sitting and some standing. Further out were the Dragon Soul Army's Golden Palace guards, who were on alert for the lurking, hunting alien species.
This was not the summit of Qianyuan Mountain; she had found herself on the desolate border of the Northern Realm Old Ruins!
In an instant, a strong sense of shock and horror completely enveloped Chang Le.
Isn't this supposed to be two years from now in my dreams? How did it become reality?
Is she still dreaming?
Or was the black dragon accompanying me to sleep just a dream?
Chang Le felt as if all the faces around him had become blurred, and he could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.
Then, his head throbbed with excruciating pain, as if it were about to explode. His mental energy surged wildly, and countless cracks seemed to appear in his brain.
"end--"
A crack appeared in the void before her, and a smooth, flawless hand reached out, its cool fingers touching Chang Le's brow. Suddenly, a voice echoed in her mind:
"Guard your mind and calm your spirit, and you will be blessed with a divine soul."
Retrace your memories to complete yourself.
As if time had turned back, Chang Le, whose brain had almost shattered due to a sudden surge of emotion aggravating old wounds, closed his eyes. The cracks that had appeared in his brain were restored as if in reverse, his chaotic and throbbing mental energy was calmed down, and his jumbled thoughts were sorted out.
Chang Le opened her eyes in a daze, feeling as if she had already lived through those two years normally and had arrived at the age of ten.
