1573 A Dream to Create the Universe (1/2)

Chapter 1573 - A Dream to Create the Universe ”Yes, it was a dream!”

The ethereal face's words caused Zhao Feng's heart to sink. He had long ago realized this, but he found it impossible to accept such a reality. But if the entire Fan Universe was a dream, what was he? Why didn't he vanish like everyone else? Why did he still exist?

”As for why you still exist, that is because you have inherited the energy source of me, Fan Gu!” the face continued.

”I would rather not have this energy!” Zhao Feng's face was twisted in sorrow, and he was completely dejected and forlorn.

At this moment, he now knew the truth. If his Dream Ancestral Eye had not completely awakened, the ”dreamed world” would have continued to exist, but when the Ancestral Eye awakened, the world disappeared! And disappeared with it were the people Zhao Feng had grown up with, his closest friends and lovers... everything that he was familiar with was gone.

”That world was nothing more than something created using our strength. If you inherit this strength, you will be the Ancestor of Dreams. For that world, you would be the King of Gods, able to bring salvation to all.” Fan Gu knew what Zhao Feng was thinking, and he smiled.

”What should I do?” Zhao Feng became ecstatic, and he immediately asked, grasping at that hope like a drowning man reaching for a rope.

Fan Gu sighed. ”As long as you inherit my remnant will and everything else, you will learn how to do it.”

Zhao Feng was shocked. If he inherited everything that remained of Fan Gu, Fan Gu would essentially disappear. Was Fan Gu's remnant will willing to help him?

”I have been asleep for who-knows-how-long, and though I have awakened, there is still no hope of rebuilding myself. Besides, an end might be a new beginning. If you are willing, I will entrust everything to you....” Fan Gu slowly said.

For him, this awakening was a most unexpected surprise. The entire Fan Universe was just a manifestation of the last vestiges of his power. Zhao Feng was a member of the Fan Universe and had inherited his Dream Origin. From a certain perspective, Zhao Feng was a newly bom Fan Gu - Fan Gu's continuation!

”Senior, thank you for your help!” Zhao Feng clasped his fist in his hand and voiced his thanks. If he could save everything, he was willing to do anything.

“Very well....” Fan Gu sighed in relief. His remnant will was about to reach its end and enter a new beginning.

Whoosh!

The vast ethereal face turned into a surging mist that flew into Zhao Feng's eyes. Most of the mist merged with the Dream Ancestral Eye; Dream Origin was the fundamental strength that Fan Gu had used to reach the Creator level.

This was a dark and hazy world. Everything was jumbled and confused here, and neither time nor space seemed to exist.

In a certain corner of this plane of Primal Chaos, a youth stood like a stone statue that had lasted through the endless ages.

After a very long time, the youth opened his eyes. He was devoid of energy, seeming like an ordinary person, but he was also unharmed despite residing in this plane of Primal Chaos.

At a certain moment, the light of understanding appeared in the youth's eyes.

He had inherited everything that was once Fan Gu's. He could be called Zhao Feng, but he could also be called a continuation of Fan Gu after his death.

After what would have been hundreds of millions of years in the Fan Universe's time, he had finally recovered the majority of the Creator-level power.

However, even though Zhao Feng had inherited everything of Fan Gu's, what he felt was most important was still the Fan Universe.

”Restore the broken mirror, reform the dream, let the dream create the universe!” As Zhao Feng muttered, his left eye exploded with boundless dreamy light. Meanwhile, his right eye twinkled with a cold and gray-white light before closing again.

Swish!

A vast Dream Dimension began to form. A complete universe appeared within this Dream Dimension, and the space within seethed like first beings rising from the Primal Chaos. Gradually, these images took the form of the entire world right before its destruction.

”Return!” Zhao Feng's two Ancestral Eyes surged with seemingly infinite Origin energy.

The Dream Ancestral Eye was the foundation of Fan Gu's Creator-level power. The Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye represented Fan Gu's understanding of the Great Dao of Primal Chaos and his ability to use Dream Origin. With these two Origin energies, Zhao Feng could transcend the gap between illusion and reality.

After some time, Zhao Feng opened his eyes wide. The entire world had changed!

What he saw was this: the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was in tatters, numerous civilizations destroyed and countless lives lost in the chaos. But for Zhao Feng, this sight was incredibly exciting.

In the distance, on the departing white warship, Yu Tianwu, the Heaven Lord, and Liu Qinxin were confused, their bodies stiff. All the countless living beings of the Fan Universe had gone stiff. For some reason, they felt like they just had a close brush with death.

”Now, I just need to repair the world.” Zhao Feng closed his eyes again.

Within the Fan Universe, the lands began to fuse together while the gaps in space began to repair themselves.

The sight of the world shifting and repairing itself caused everyone to sigh in wonder. This was nothing short of a miracle!

A rumor began to spread that the supreme God of this world had awakened and had saved them all.

Not only that, even the fallen Gods - the Life God, Samsara God, and Destruction God - were revived.

”The Eight Great God Eyes represent the rules of the Heavenly Dao and will be able to stabilize the Fan Universe,” Zhao Feng muttered.

After inheriting Fan Gu's will, he had an entirely new understanding of the Great Dao and of the nature of energy.

In the Sage Faction's secret base, in the top floor of the six-sided tower:

”Zhao Feng, can you send us out of this illusory world?” the Heaven Lord excitedly said.

”I can. But only those with a complete Heaven's Legacy Race bloodline can leave,” Zhao Feng calmly and confidently replied.

An illusory world? One could call it that. Everything in this world was a mixture of darkness and light, real and fake. To those worlds that had emerged in the plane of Primal Chaos, they were the real ones while everything in the Fan Universe was fake, but to the Fan Universe, it was the real one while all the living beings of the Primal Chaos plane was dream-like existences.

They were like opposite dimensions. For either side, the other side was fake, and only they could be considered real.

Of course, if the ”illusory” of one side ran off to ”real” world on the other side, they might quickly disappear, unless they were like Zhao Feng, who was the Ancestor of Dreams and could transcend illusion and reality.

The Heaven's Legacy Race was a race from beyond this universe, so they could be considered an exception. However, if there were members of the Heaven's Legacy Race who were born in this world afterward and did not fully inherit the Heaven's Legacy Race bloodline, they might not be able to leave.

The leaders of the Heaven Defying Faction and Sage Faction nodded and began to think. They both unquestionably possessed complete Heaven's Legacy Race bloodlines, but many of the other members of their race did not.

“Zhao Feng, give us some time....” the two of them said at the same time.

In the Continent Zone, a man and two women suddenly descended. The man was incomparably handsome and exuded a transcendent aura while the two women were like celestial fairies. Anyone who beheld them would freeze for a few moments.

”I've come back to this place!” Zhao Yufei giggled as her beautiful eyes looked far into the distance, taking in all the familiar vistas.

”Let's go! This place isn't our destination,” Zhao Feng said.
