"There is that possibility."

As Zhou Bai thought it over, he felt it was indeed possible that the conflict between the two memories led to the current dreamscape.

Because Christina was unable or unwilling to accept the vast amount of memories, she instinctively regarded them as a dream and stored them in her subconscious.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the support from the vast memories that this dream is so powerful.

"If this is the case, then after waking up, Christina would still be Christina."

Zhou Bai sighed, "After all, once you wake up from a dream, it's possible to forget what happened in it."

Thinking about how Christina's current dream might correspond to her massive memories awakened before time flowed backward, Zhou Bai began to pay close attention to everything in the dream.

"Does the concept of space-time in this dream relate to the space-time concept of our universe?"

Although he speculated that there was a mapping between the information in the dream and Christina's vast memories, Zhou Bai also understood that once information entered a dream and re-materializes, there would often be deviations, making it hard to understand directly.

"Various phenomena in this dream probably have some symbolic meaning in reality."

Unable to figure out what each phenomenon in the dream represented, Zhou Bai could only record everything he saw and heard in front of him.

In the next moment, as the world spun around him, the scene before him changed once again.

Christina sat under an apple tree and suddenly got hit on the head by a book. Picking it up, she said curiously, "What is this? A time machine?"

Then, a deluge of books rained down on her head, all filled with various scientific knowledge of the future.

In the scene transition, a large number of books also fell from the sky, this time landing on the heads of many humans.

As such scenes continued to flash past, the world in front of Zhou Bai's eyes began to change dramatically. He could see countless pieces of knowledge being passed on to humans and cats of various eras.

The two major species developed at an incredible speed, constantly transmitting knowledge to earlier generations and assassinating key historical figures from the other species.

Humans and cats even began to slaughter each other's primitive ancestors in order to erase the other from history entirely.

As their ancestors were constantly slain, leading to a reduction in their species on a large scale, they started to alter the world before their own species even existed, each trying to expedite the birth of cats and humans.

The timeline's warfare pushed ever forward, fighting all the way back to a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago...

Each battle altered the entire history of the species involved, yet those within it were oblivious to the changes, never being able to learn the outcomes of their last battle.

Their history, once it reached the invention of the time machine, would be completely rewritten, never managing to reach the next step into the future.

"These two civilizations have no future left..." Zhou Bai thought to himself: "If they can't invent the time machine, they'll be erased by the other species. But if they do invent it, history will be rewritten, and everything will start over."

The history of conflict between the two species seemed like an endless cycle, perpetually repeating through tactics of assassination, knowledge transfer, ancestor extermination, and premature genesis.

The only thing that changes is the history of humans and cats constantly moving backward, with their time of origin becoming ever earlier.

"But this can't go on," Zhou Bai mused: "It's just a constant repetition since a moment ago; if this continues, this dream may never end."

"I need to find the true location of Christina's consciousness and find a way to wake her up."

With this in mind, Zhou Bai stopped observing and activated the Dream Heart Scripture to search for the whereabouts of the dream's owner, immediately sensing that there seemed to be a deeper layer in this dream.

"A second-layer dream?"

In the next moment, as if passing through layers of barriers in the dream, he arrived in a luxurious palace.

There, countless figures resembling Zhou Bai were cleaning, cooking, farming, gardening, and doing various housekeeping tasks within the palace walls.

Meanwhile, Christina lounged on the sofa, living a life where food was brought to her mouth and clothes to her hands.

Zhou Bai thought to himself: 'Is this merely Christina's pure fantasy... or does this second-layer dream symbolize something else?'

Christina spoke to a soft-featured Zhou Bai without a beard, saying, "Little Zhou, put some effort in, don't act like you haven't eaten."

The gentle Zhou Bai massaged Christina's head diligently, saying respectfully, "As you command, Master."

Christina squinted her eyes in enjoyment and said, "Let me tell you, last night I had a nightmare where a group of people kept going back to change history."

"Being able to go back and change history without limits, isn't that absurd?"

"The crucial part is that I was also in this dream, perpetually caught in the altered dream without realizing I was dreaming, what a bizarre dreamscape..."

As Zhou Bai hid in a corner listening to Christina's disjointed recount of the dream details in the second-layer dream, he suddenly realized: "The first-layer dream is a dream of Christina in the second-layer dream?"

"What does this imply? Is it hinting that our universe is a dream? No, the symbolism of the dream wouldn't be this simple. Our universe is so vast and complex; it's unimaginable that it would be a dream. This possibility is so low it can be ignored; it must symbolize something else..."

"In any case, the priority is to wake Christina up."

While Christina was contemplating, the real Zhou Bai controlled the Dream Heart Scripture to appear before her and said, "It's time to wake up, Christina..."

"How dare you!" Christina shouted angrily, "Who permitted you to intrude into my bedchamber? Capture him for me!"

As she spoke, numerous towering Zhou Bais, three meters tall and three meters wide, charged forward and surrounded the true Zhou Bai.

The real Zhou Bai frowned, knowing this was Christina's dream, making it difficult to defeat her within it.

'But I don't need to defeat her, just make her realize this is a dream, and she should wake up.'

So Zhou Bai didn't resist, but simply looked at Christina and said, "Tina, think carefully, you're dreaming now."

"Don't you remember the days we fought together, adventured together, fought against the Heavenly Demon, and opposed the Heavenly Court?"

As Zhou Bai's voice sounded, a flicker of confusion passed through Christina's eyes: "Dream..."

"Do you remember when we first arrived in Donghua City, how you cleaned for me, did laundry, washed dishes, and cleaned the inner chambers?"

"Have you forgotten how we practiced being pretentious together? How Elsa surpassed you?"

"Do you recall standing by my side in battle, holding my hand tightly, shielding me from various attacks with your body?"

In the next moment, Christina lay on the ground, rolling and clutching her head in pain, saying, "Stop it! I don't want to wake up! Reality is so painful, just let me numb myself with dreams forever!"
