Chapter 3019: Stable as an Old Turtle

The Great Sage abandoning the dream world was both unexpected and reasonable. What was certain was that the Great Sage had set up here for a long time. Even so, the other party still chose to seek stability.

Compared to the Great Sage, the whereabouts of the Goddess · Shata Ye were more important. The Great Sage was no longer related to the Ancient God's seal; the soul chain of the Goddess · Shata Ye had become a substitute.

Relying on Madam Snake's ability, Su Xiao entered the dream again. When the mist door dissipated, he had arrived at the dream world.

"Boss, the Great Sage withdrew from over there, and also took away many beast tribes."

Baha flew over. It had already scouted just now. The Great Sage withdrew from a tunnel deep in the dream world. That place had already half-collapsed, and the space fluctuations were chaotic. It was destroyed by the Great Sage's subordinates before he left.

With the Great Sage's style of being as stable as an old turtle, he must have prepared a retreat before choosing to survive in the dream world.

Su Xiao took Bubu Wang and Baha forward, passing through the Gloomy Square that had been blown into ruins, and then arrived at the area where the Central Zhong Ta was located.

The Central Zhong Ta was nearly a hundred meters high. The place that had been grabbed and pierced by the Devourer just now had recovered as before. Not only that, with this clock tower as the center, the damaged buildings in the surroundings were gradually recovering. This felt like the dream world was like a huge living thing that would slowly heal after being injured. Even if there was damage that couldn't heal, it would be reset every time it reached 5:59.

Past the Central Zhong Ta was a street with a width of over two hundred meters and a length of several kilometers. The street was paved with square stones, and countless humanoid stone carvings were kneeling on the street surface.

They were all curling their bodies, with cylindrical iron cages on their backs. Some cylindrical iron cages were empty, while others contained rocks.

Looking around, this street was very magnificent. The humanoid stone carvings kneeling here were too realistic. Their torsos, which were thin to the ribs, and the cracks on their fingers were all vivid, making one doubt whether this was really chiseled out, or whether, countless years ago, tens of thousands of people were kneeling here, and afterward, their bodies turned into stone.

Su Xiao walked among the humanoid stone carvings. He vaguely perceived that soul fluctuations were emanating from the humanoid stone carvings around him.

In a sense, these people were actually still 'alive.' They were not entering a dream, but 'deep diving' in the dream world. Only by 'deep diving' could one see the true appearance of these dream residents.

After Su Xiao traveled a few kilometers, a cathedral appeared in front. On the door of the cathedral, a hexagonal mark was particularly conspicuous. On the cross within the mark, thorny brambles were wrapped.

Pushing open the door of the cathedral, thin mist surged from the front. One could vaguely hear the clanging sound of the clock tower, which was deep and thick in the distance.

When the last wisp of thin mist inside the cathedral dissipated, an old knight wearing full-body armor and a figure over four meters tall slowly stood up. He held a war hammer in his hand. This war hammer had several sharp blades at both ends. Being hit by it wasn't just as simple as broken bones and tendons, but first being cut open by the hammer blades, and then smashed into rotten meat.

On the old knight's back, a thin figure was crawling, hugging the old knight's neck with both arms. This scene didn't make one feel ambiguous, but rather two poor people accompanying each other in the desolate dream world, without other complex and filthy things.

On the old knight's back was the next-generation Goddess · Shata Ye.

Armor clashing, the old knight strode forward, dragging the war hammer on the ground, scraping sparks on the bricks and stones on the ground.

"Why come... to our world."

Goddess · Shata Ye spoke in a low voice. From the previous situation, one could see that she was not the Great Sage's subordinate. Otherwise, when the Devourer was wreaking havoc, even if she didn't take action, the old knight would have left the cathedral to deal with the Devourer.

Soul chains appeared behind Goddess · Shata Ye, the other end disappearing into the air behind her. Ancient God energy flowed into her body along these soul chains, then clung to the old knight's armor, and both of their auras surged by a large margin.

Goddess · Shata Ye looked thin and weak, but if one knew her deeds, one definitely wouldn't think so.

Shata Ye, next-generation Goddess. The reason she was called this was not because she was a candidate for some generation of Goddess. This was the term used by the Kodo School for a Goddess who had betrayed them.

On the night before Shata Ye became the Goddess, the Kodo School headquarters was attacked by the Soul Zhong Ta. The purpose was to take Shata Ye away. The Soul Zhong Ta was also very interested in Ancient God energy. It was normal for the Goddess, as an adapter of Ancient God energy, to be targeted by the Soul Zhong Ta.

After the attack that night ended, Shata Ye was unharmed. She searched among the wounded for a long time, but couldn't find her younger brother, the brother who had no blood relationship with her but had depended on each other for life.

When Shata Ye found her younger brother, it was already three o'clock in the morning. In a stinking ditch, she saw that corpse that had been tortured to pieces.

After handling her younger brother's funeral, Shata Ye hid in the darkness and wept silently. But she believed that this matter wouldn't end just like this. The Kodo School would make the Soul Zhong Ta pay the price. This was the Kodo School's promise to her.

The imagined result didn't appear. The Soul Zhong Ta traded a certain technology for reconciliation with the Kodo School. Learning this news, Shata Ye was very 'angry,' but under the persuasion of a bishop, she accepted the compensation given by the Kodo School.

After a few years of silence, it was also a night with a bright moon hanging high. Shata Ye found that bishop again and asked the other party a question.

'Are you the strongest person in the Kodo School?'

That bishop answered yes with a smile. Three seconds later, his head was in Shata Ye's hand, and the blade of the 'Repentance Sickle' was still dripping blood.

Clearly, that bishop wasn't the strongest, but he was a high-level member of the Kodo School. Shata Ye was openly rebelling. The result was that she killed her way out of the Kodo School headquarters relying on the 'Repentance Sickle.'

After that, Shata Ye arrived at the 'Warlock Academy' of the Soul Zhong Ta alone. This attack didn't go smoothly. Unlike the Kodo School, the Soul Zhong Ta's strong people were all within the 'Warlock Academy.'

Shata Ye retreated with heavy injuries, but she was very patient. She not only adapted to the Ancient God energy, but her body also absorbed the Ancient God energy, and her life became longer than most strong people.

Since she couldn't fight head-on, she hunted. As long as people from the Soul Zhong Ta were alone or traveling in small teams, they would be attacked by Shata Ye.

This attack lasted for a full 68 years. The crazy scholars of the Soul Zhong Ta had never submitted to anyone, but during that period, they were indeed somewhat beaten into submission by Shata Ye. Going out to purchase supplies daily was a life of nine deaths. Multiple sieges of Shata Ye didn't have very good results; instead, quite a few people died.

It had to be said that the Soul Zhong Ta had backbone and didn't compromise with Shata Ye.

In the end, Shata Ye was tired of killing. Everyone related to that matter had died. Decades passed, and although her appearance hadn't changed much, her heart was already empty.

Until one day, the Great Sage found Shata Ye and asked her if she wanted to resurrect her younger brother.

Shata Ye only glanced at the Great Sage and ignored him, preparing to continue wandering.

The Great Sage's second sentence made Shata Ye change her mind. That sentence was: 'There is someone as lonely as you. Do you want to see him?'

Inside the cathedral, Goddess · Shata Ye looked at Su Xiao, her gaze very calm. The old knight beneath her strode forward, wanting to fight Su Xiao to the death.

"Are you the guardians of the dream?"

Su Xiao didn't draw his blade. He had a better way to deal with the current situation.

"You broke into our world. No one can dominate this place. The Great Sage cannot, and neither can you. We only have this cold and gentle world left. Please don't take it away."

Goddess · Shata Ye loosened her arms that were hugging, and she stepped barefoot on the ground, her gray-black skirt hanging to the ground.

The sickle blade hummed lightly. A simple war sickle flew over, spinning, and was grabbed by Goddess · Shata Ye. Her eyes were dark green, and black flames appeared on her dress. Strangely, she didn't have too strong hostility from beginning to end, just ready for battle, but didn't want to fight.

"Intruder, we don't want to fight you. Please leave."

While speaking, Goddess · Shata Ye's Repentance Sickle touched the old knight, signaling the old knight not to come forward again.

"Your soul chain is tied outside the container?"

Su Xiao took out a cigarette and lit it. He had a plan in his heart, but didn't know if it could be realized.

"So that person is called a container? Yes, my soul chain is wrapped outside the container. In return, the Great Sage no longer controls this world."

Hearing Goddess · Shata Ye's words, Su Xiao roughly understood the situation of the dream world. Goddess · Shata Ye and the Great Sage didn't have much relationship; the two sides were more like trading.

Goddess · Shata Ye used her own soul chain to replace the Great Sage in wrapping the container, and the Great Sage gave up control of the dream world. From then on, it was Goddess · Shata Ye and the old knight guarding the dream world.

In fact, anyone could come to the dream world and treat this place as a home, with only one point: one could not try to control the dream world.

The reason Goddess · Shata Ye was so vigilant and put on a battle stance as soon as they met was actually understandable. What happened before, Goddess · Shata Ye, as the guardian of the dream world, had perceived.

The Great Sage had just been beaten away, and Su Xiao came. Whoever it was, they would think Su Xiao was here to seize control of the dream world. After all, there was nothing else worth seizing here.

So in the cognition of Goddess · Shata Ye and the old knight, Su Xiao was the villainous big boss who, after cleaning up the Great Sage with cruel means, was preparing to occupy everything.

Su Xiao came to the cathedral to fight two Tier 8 big bosses? No, in the cognition of Goddess · Shata Ye and the old knight, this was completely reversed.

"Soul chain, time stagnation in the dream world—I can help you solve these. However, what are you prepared to pay?"

Su Xiao's words made Goddess · Shata Ye and the old knight look at each other.

"Sorry, we... have nothing. We are not qualified to receive help. However, we still want to thank you."

The longing in Goddess · Shata Ye's eyes gradually cooled. She indeed had nothing. The only valuable weapon was an extremely ferocious and strange object. Using this as a reward would be returning evil for good.

"Help me kill some people, and I will help you solve the current predicament."

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. His plan was to let these two Tier 8 big bosses go with him to seize the space-time power. ===== CHAPTER 3020 =====
