Chapter 399: With My Dream, Forging the Unforgeable City

Sun Wukong had already stepped one foot into that violent space-time turbulence.

His silhouette was resolute, like a piece of ice that never melts for ten thousand ages.

However, just at the moment he was about to completely disappear.

He stopped.

It was not that he wanted to stop.

But a will, a will gentle to the extreme yet overbearing to the point of being irresistible, like an invisible shackle, tightly locking his Divine Soul.

"Wukong."

Yao's voice no longer came from behind him.

But directly, in the deepest part of his Divine Soul, it exploded with a boom!

Sun Wukong's body shuddered violently.

He stiffly, bit by bit, turned his head.

He saw.

Yao no longer waited for his consent.

She knew that this monkey, stubborn to the bone, would never agree.

Rather than waste the last chance in meaningless quarrels, it would be better for her to cut off this damned cycle!

Her illusory figure drifted backward.

Like a feather, like a leaf that falls without hesitation.

She retreated into the massive "Dream Ark" that had been silently hovering.

At the moment she touched the ark, her body completely turned into a brilliant light.

That light perfectly merged with the core of the "Dream Ark"!

Hum—

The entire giant ship emitted a distant, vast hum.

It seemed that only at this moment was it truly infused with a soul.

No longer merely an object.

But a life that had come alive, possessing a heart!

Yao's Divine Soul became the central processor of that giant ship, becoming its sole will!

"Wukong, listen to me."

Her voice, through supreme divine sense, clearly echoed in Sun Wukong's mind, bringing an unprecedented calm and power.

"You have always wanted to protect, haven't you?"

"Now go protect those worlds that are weeping."

"Bring back every one of your bullied kids, safe and sound, for me!"

These words carried a hint of her never-before-seen domineering tone, imitating his speech.

Sun Wukong's heart was fiercely tugged by this sudden "imitation."

"And I…"

Yao's voice paused, becoming infinitely gentle yet infinitely heavy.

"Come protect your final, and most important, 'home.'"

The moment her words fell!

Rumble—

Heaven and earth shook!

The "Dream Ark" moved!

It was no longer a ship, no longer that cold steel construct!

Its hull, amidst the brilliant light of the Dream Realm, began to violently disintegrate, deform, and then wildly expand!

Countless light-made pillars shot up into the sky!

Sheet after sheet of walls glittering with stars sprang up from the ground!

The prow became a towering city gate, the stern extended into a lofty watchtower reaching the clouds!

It took the sealed land imprisoning the Bodhi Dao Heart as its absolute center.

In the "real" world, it began to materialize in a completely irrational way!

A colossal, magnificent city beyond description appeared out of thin air!

This city, like a mirage, dreamlike and not of the mortal realm.

Each brick of the city seemed to be made of solidified starlight.

Yet the aura it emitted was indestructible, carrying a weight that suppresses the ages!

Sun Wukong stared blankly.

He saw that on the city walls, as wide as plains, flowed the colorful dream fragments of countless living beings.

There were children's sweet slumber, heroes' unyielding resistance, lovers' whispered embraces.

He saw that atop the lofty city towers, huge flags fluttered in the wind.

Those flags were neither cloth nor divine metal.

But were the pure essence of "hope" condensed from countless worlds and innumerable living beings in that sea of hope!

They rustled, and their sound was, in this Deathly Silence graveyard, the sole cry of "life"!

A mighty city forged entirely from "dream" and "hope".

A city, a miracle that could not exist in the world.

I will name it——

【Dream Pure Land】.

Yao's voice, carrying a creator's sanctity and pride, echoed between heaven and earth.

【Dream Pure Land】!

These four words, as if containing the ultimate power of some kind of Words Follow Law.

At the moment it took form!

Hum!

The entire dream phantom city suddenly burst forth with an attraction so terrifying it reached the extreme!

That is an absolute devouring power directed at "negative emotions"!

On the battlefield, the mist rising from the corpses of three thousand demon gods and countless "Sun Wukong" was an endless "resentment".

That stream, flowing from all corners of the universe and continuously surging toward the gate, was like a black tide of "despair".

Also, the "Original Mistake" emitted a cold, deathly silent "malice".

All of these are enough to contaminate the great Dao, making even a Saint go mad with negative energy.

At this moment, it was as if they had found an outlet to vent!

They turned into visible black air torrents, which the dreamlike walls of the Dream Pure Land frenziedly and greedily absorbed completely into themselves!

The city trembled.

The dream realm's brilliance on the walls faded at a visible speed.

Those beautiful dreams are being contaminated, eroded!

But it did not retreat a single step!

It was like a silent, great mother, opening its arms to embrace all the deadly poison that could kill its children, holding it all within its bosom!

That huge gate, bound by golden divine chains, saw its pressure suddenly drop!

Those black chains that had been tightly entwined on the gate, constantly wearing down Sun Wukong's seal, at this moment, suddenly paused.

They seemed like sharks that had smelled blood, instantly finding new, more delicious food!

These chains, formed from the purest "Negation" and "Despair", immediately ceased their erosion of the gate.

They reversed direction.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless black chains, with a screech that tears the void, like countless vicious poisonous spines, fiercely stabbed toward the walls of the Dream Pure Land!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A dull, massive roar, like the death knell of the apocalypse, rang out densely!

The entire Dream Pure Land shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment under this terrifying impact!

On the walls, those beautiful dream realms that had just been flickering were instantly pierced, stained black, and turned into twisted, painful nightmares!

"Hurry up and go!"

Yao's voice came again.

This time, her voice carried a trace of unbearable, intense pain that could not be hidden, arising from enduring unimaginable pressure!

That pain, like a red-hot steel needle, viciously stabbed into Sun Wukong's heart!

His whole body shuddered violently, and his chaos eyes were instantly filled with endless bloodshot!

"Before I can't hold on any longer..."

"Come... back!"

This trembling command became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Sun Wukong violently lifted his head and let out a suppressed to the extreme, inhuman roar!

In that roar, there was no anger.

Only endless sorrow, and a killing intent so vast it could burn the Nine Heavens!

He did not turn back.

He didn't even dare to glance again at the city that was bearing everything for him.

He was afraid.

He was afraid he would lose control.

He was afraid he would recklessly rush back, personally smash that damn city to pieces, and drag out that utter idiot from inside!

So.

He turned around.

He turned all his reluctance, heartache, and helplessness into the deepest hatred for that ultimate enemy!

"Wait... for me!"

Sun Wukong squeezed these two words from between his teeth.

These two words were not meant for Yao.

But were meant for that enemy, who was wantonly slaughtering his "children" on the ruins of the Blue Star Federation!

Boom!

The Chaos Dao iron in his hand burst forth with unprecedented gold, gray, and black three-colored divine light!

He bore the Tiěbàng, like a vengeful meteor, without the slightest hesitation, decisively plunging headfirst into that violent spatial turbulence!

His figure vanished instantly.

Only left behind.

That dream phantom city, despite violently shaking under the frenzied piercing of countless black chains, still stood firm.

It became the only and also the last lighthouse in this desolate graveyard.
