Gao Ming took step after step. No matter how many different voices held him back, Gao Ming didn’t falter.

Compared to the temple owner who collapsed after witnessing what was behind the door, Gao Ming was more stable. His endless deaths confirmed his belief in one thing. He was already in the worst situation. He only needed to keep moving forward. As long as he was willing to accept change, things could only get better.

Gao Ming had no idea what the temple owner saw, but he knew what awaited him. Different from the blissful events in real life, many wounded monsters were trapped deep inside his heart!

They radiated a presence scarier than the ghosts. Every face carried hatred and anger. However, they also retained evidence of being humans in the past. What turned them into monsters? What massacred a whole city? What trapped Gao Ming in the endless cycle of death?

The culprits needed to be punished. All the tragedies had to be redeemed. That was Gao Ming’s fervent wish. The power of faith was greatly triggered. The Blood City Tattoo turned vibrant. Inside his heart, an arm turned fully corporeal!

The invisible barrier was shattered. An arm reached out of the dark to grab Gao Ming.

The lock crumbled. All the shackles broke. Endless despair exited Gao Ming’s heart. The memory fragments united with his main consciousness.

“I remember now! I came from Han Hai. This is not my sin. This is my life!”

The giant butterfly's wings burned out. The glazed buildings in the divine palace dissolved into moonlight and disappeared into the smoke. Attracted by the tattoo, the divine glow was dyed red. The temple owner wanted to grab control back from Gao Ming and repaint the butterfly wings, but he failed. He could only stand before the heavenly gate and watched helplessly as the faith of Dream Break Town flowed into Gao Ming’s body.

The buildings were yanked up from the ground. The numerous ghosts in Gao Ming’s body yelled. They sent the power of faith into Gao Ming’s heart.

“Dream Release!”

The outer wall of the soul temple cracked like an egg. Gao Ming, with the Blood City tattoo, became a heavenly gate. His heart was the spot where the two worlds overlapped. The divine palace was shattered. The divine ghosts regained their freedom. However, no one dared to do anything reckless. The situation was too out of their control. No one wanted to sacrifice themselves.

The rolling despair had already spiralled out of control. In the abyssal darkness, Han Hai’s cityscape started to materialise. They were stained with indelible blood. Inside the buildings, the figures from Gao Ming’s memory appeared. There were more of them than the local residents of Dream Break Town. However, most of them had illusory bodies. They couldn’t leave the Blood City territory. Nonetheless, a few of them had reached a stable level of corporeality!

These were not lingering souls in the blood city. They were not constructed from Gao Ming’s memory. Instead, they had been hiding in Gao Ming’s heart!

A scarred hand extended out of Gao Ming’s chest. It suddenly started to rain inside the temple. A pair of red eyes slowly opened. The wet hair landed on the red raincoat.

“My child… You still haven’t found him…”

The horrifying presence suppressed Gao Ming. The wrinkly red raincoat was unveiled around Gao Ming. Other than the red raincoat, a lot of faceless disciples and mutated beasts appeared. Gao Ming’s shadow started to undulate before turning into a giant dog about several metres tall!

Every face corresponded to a part of Gao Ming’s memory. This was the reason he had to remember his past. Murky water surged in the dark. A human head was staring at Gao Ming. He opened his lips, but his voice was easily overwhelmed by the other voices. Ignoring the warnings, Gao Ming chose to ‘shatter’ the lock and open the room sealed in his heart.

The divine palace carved on the seventh floor became real. Bloodred buildings madly consumed the soul temple. The cracks in the wall spread rapidly. To open the heavenly gate, the owner had already drained the cultivators. They could no longer do anything. However, the soul temple didn’t collapse. The red buildings didn’t want to ruin the place. They wanted to replace it. However, Gao Ming didn’t control any of these. When he opened the door, his main consciousness was severely oppressed. All the memory fragments reconnected. He stopped reading them but united with them. The memory that was cordoned off for unknown reasons finally returned. Gao Ming felt his body being lifted up by endless hands and hauled down a path. He didn’t open his eyes and allowed himself to soak into his past. The tattoo grew on his body. Even the God of Flesh and Blood changed.

“What is going on?” A confused voice came from the white sedan, “He is not a God from Dream Break Town!”

“An outsider? There is a ghost hidden among the outsiders that we’ve been sacrificing as animals?!”

“What a scary blood city… No, it should be called a divine palace now!” The temple owner’s dried skin hung on his face. He looked several decades older. “How did this happen? There could only be one door in each deep-level nightmare. I used that door as the foundation of this temple. How could there be a second door?”

The owner screamed dementedly. He appeared to be providing hints to the other divine ghosts. The soul temple’s power had been stolen by Gao Ming. The only path that could lead to the other world was within Gao Ming’s control.

“The nine-story soul temple has drained all the power of the Gods in Dream Break Town to open the heavenly gate. It should belong to Dream Break Town. We cannot let an outsider claim it!” A giant made from Gods swung his fist at the bloodred city. “We cannot let it go.”

The divine ghosts changed their target. Actually, even if they didn’t focus on Gao Ming, the blood city would trap them as it expanded.

“Capture it!”

The white bones became a mountain. The soul banner dissolved into black mist. Immortal Pharma exhausted a lot of resources to build Dream Break Town. Each divine ghost had the potential to become an Unmentionable. They were immensely powerful when they worked together. They could easily tear down this village.

Gao Ming had no idea what was happening outside his memory. He merely stopped moving. He raised his head and saw that the sky was darkening.

“Is it going to rain?” Gao Ming found a red raincoat to wear in his chaotic memory. Then, he continued to walk towards the end of the union with his memory.

Outside Gao Ming’s body, there was a shrill scream. The red raincoat who had lost her child stood before Gao Ming. Her face was twisted with hatred.
