Chapter 618: Wish
Dream Break Town was built on Dream’s remains. Zhang Mingli was a ghost born from Dream’s nightmare. He had a strange connection with that Unmentionable. Technically, Zhang Mingli was Dream Break Town’s real owner. He was familiar with everything there.
However, after Zhang Mingli gained his love and obsession from the boulder, he opened his eyes and realised Dream Break Town had become unfamiliar. Dream Break Town that was turned upside-down confused Zhang Mingli. He looked at the expanding bloodred city with befuddlement.
“This shouldn’t be.” When he was imprisoned, Zhang Mingli forgot many things. He couldn’t remember the names of the other saviours and forgot the most important person. However, he remembered encountering these similar buildings in that taboo game.
“Blood City? This is inner world’s Blood City! How did it expand to this place? Has someone opened the door to the deep space world? Which genius did this stupid thing?” Many thoughts appeared in Zhang Mingli’s mind. “Immortal Pharma has ruined the channel so humans cannot enter the inner world to inform the world's saviors. I have to control this new door!
“However, Dream Break Town is built using Dream’s altar as its foundation. This door might be a failsafe Dream kept for itself. It might use this door to achieve a rebirth.” Zhang Mingli was not a hesitant person. Dream had scarred him too greatly. Before his brain came to a conclusion, his body already moved towards the red buildings. Zhang Mingli stepped on the temple’s broken outer walls. His eyes were grabbed by a figure. In the middle of the bloodred city and at the centre of the nine-story Soul Temple was a young man. His chest was sliced open and endless ghosts crawled out. His dream was being slowly turned real by the unique power of the Soul Temple. The dream was rapidly consuming Dream Break Town.
“Is that the tester who learned the Dream Release Method from me?!” Zhang Mingli was stumped. He didn’t even know the Dream Release Method could be used in this manner. “Does he have such a deep life?”
Even though all the Gods worked together, they couldn’t take down Gao Ming. More and more ghosts appeared from his nightmare.
“Is this how Dream Release is supposed to be used?” Zhang Mingli was uncertain. Gao Ming was bound to the bloodred city. If he intervened, his destiny would be heavily impacted.
The white sedan pushed through. Two Ji Gods split open a path. Arms reached out of the sedan. They held various forbidden objects. The Gods swore to destroy Gao Ming.
Zhang Mingli saw this and sighed deeply, “You helped me regain my greed and conscience. It is not fair if I don’t help you.
“Going to Elder Tang’s place to deliver the birthday present and looking for someone at Madam Xi’s wedding corresponds to two Ji Gods. What a coincidence.”
Zhang Mingli took several strides forward. He unwillingly cut through his body. The thick darkness swallowed the surrounding light.
“Dream Release!”
Intense hatred gushed out of the dark. Zhang Mingli materialised the scariest hatred in his heart. This was his most basic ability. If he were pushed, he could attempt to materialise Dream, but that might be exactly what Dream was waiting for.
Zhang Mingli blocked the two Ji Gods. Then, he looked at Gao Ming with complications. “I’ve returned you the favour.”
In the sea of memory, Gao Ming’s main consciousness ran towards the only light in the city. He was already very fast, but the two criminals still managed to catch up with him.
Gao Ming picked up a brick from the ground and was ready to fight them when a big black dog in the yard behind him barked. The dog had a shiny fur coat. It wagged its tail when it saw Gao Ming, but it was distant from everyone else.
The dog and the man were about to fight the criminals when a man suddenly exited the house adjacent to the yard. He wore a long shirt and cursed under his breath. He charged at the criminals unwillingly. The man looked polite, but he was extremely cruel in combat. He didn’t lose even if he had to take two criminals on. Gao Ming planned to help when the black dog barked at the light upstairs.
“Okay. I’ll have to go home first.”
Gao Ming saw a familiar e-bike in the familiar neighbourhood. He had been there before. In the past, it was always a lady who carried him back.
Gao Ming entered the dark corridor and went up the stairs. He climbed to the floor he believed his home was on.
The blood buildings kept corrupting the Soul Temple until blood dominated both the inside and outside of the temple. What it looked like originally was no longer important. The power of faith enabled the red buildings to take over the Soul Temple. It bloomed like a lotus. The blood capillaries gathered underneath Gao Ming like a root system.
As Gao Ming combined with his memory, the chains inside his torture room shattered. Meat fragrance flowed through every red building. The divine ghost with four faces and eight arms crawled out of Gao Ming’s body. He was larger than all the ghosts. He was the real deal. The chains that suppressed him broke. He was connected to the blood capillaries underneath Gao Ming. The eight arms controlled the red buildings and crushed them inwards.
“Is he planning to sacrifice everyone?” The temple owner was the first to realise something was wrong. However, he couldn’t escape. The God of Flesh and Blood targeted him first.
Blood vessels crawled over the scrolls on the wall. Every painting of the divine was absorbed. The temple owner’s body weakened. The biggest weakness of the Temple Construction Method was immobility. That wouldn’t change even if the Soul Temple were nine-story high.
It was difficult to destroy the Soul Temple unless one destroyed the temple from the inside out, as the God of Flesh and Blood was doing.
“The heavenly gate is mine. I found it!” The temple owner soon lost his voice. The other divine ghosts also noticed something was wrong. The power of faith had been taken by Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood. They were using this power to drag everyone into the bloodred city and Gao Ming’s heart!
The three Ji Gods tried to escape. Zhang Ding, who was previously suppressed, stopped them. Zhang Mingli hesitated, but in the end, he chose to help Gao Ming.
The bloodred city continued to close in. The bloody tattoo crawled onto the divine ghosts. They firmly and slowly dragged them into Gao Ming’s torture room!
Deep in his memory, Gao Ming finally reached the door of his home. He saw the light that leaked out through the door. He opened the door with some measure of anticipation.
There was no one at home. There was a box on the table. Inside it was a birthday cake. Around the cake were eighteen red candles that emitted meat fragrance.
