452 Corpse Face! (1/2)

Wang Baole's memories regarding the commencement of this journey were blurry. It seemed that his dream had seemed too real, which made everything around him now seem familiar yet foreign to him.

On their way back, after he had sung the Soul Song repeatedly, Wang Baole gazed at the starlit heavens. He couldn't help but think of his dream.

He could vaguely remember that he had really appeared to be the most good looking person in the Federation. He had even had a few romantic partners. Like Bunny, like Zhao Yameng, like Li Wan'er, like Li Yi, like Li Xiu…

That's not right, Li Yi wasn't one of them! Wang Baole thought for a bit. He was slightly confused. He remembered Li Xiu was a man, but his memories weren't clear. This sent him reeling back in shock. He was both doubtful and afraid.

That's impossible… in my dreams… no, I, Wang Baole, am not that sort of person! Wang Baole twitched in fear. He tried to remember what had happened in his dream. He gradually recalled something. He remembered that Li Xiu was only the brother of one of his confidants. That made him sigh with relief.

However, as the memories of his dream surfaced, waves of unwillingness and nostalgia surfaced in his heart unknowingly. They were feelings for his parents in his dream, his friends, his romantic partners, and the Federation…

It's only a dream… Wang Baole sighed in his heart. The elder standing in front of him turned and stared at Wang Baole. He said softly.

”Baole, are you still thinking about the Federation in your dream?”

Upon hearing that, Wang Baole lifted his head and looked at his master. He thought for a bit, then asked, ”Master, why do people dream? This dream about the Federation felt too real…”

The elder stared at Wang Baole. There was tender love on his face. He patted Wang Baole on the head, then spoke kindly.

”Baole, as a Dark Child, you must know that there are no dreams in this world. What you see as a dream… is but another you!”

”Another me?” Wang Baole was slightly confused. He was about to question further when he looked down at his master's hand and saw a finger vanishing. He immediately forgot all about his dream. He gasped and shouted.

”Master, your finger…”

The elder lowered his head and looked at his finger. He smiled. There was no hint of surprise or shock in his eyes. When he gazed at Wang Baole again, the kindness in his eyes grew.

”It's alright, this is an old wound.”

Wang Baole wanted to pursue the matter, but the elder had already turned around. He moved the lantern oar and set the boat drifting into the distance. Slowly, it began to cross the heavens. A long time passed… before a dazzling starlit zone appeared around them.

This field of stars was littered with dazzling planets. The planets numbered in the millions!

On each planet was an illusory gate many times larger than the planet. They stood on each planet and seemed to all look the same. Every gate exuded an ancient aura and looked majestic, providing a spectacular sight.

From afar, one would see endless planets and hence endless gates… Rivers of souls flowed through every illusory gate, circling the field of stars.

There was a large horde of cultivators flying around in the skies. They seemed to be both guides and guards. They bowed respectfully towards Wang Baole's master when they saw the latter. It was clear from their eyes that they respected the elder deeply and genuinely.

The elder found it difficult to return each greeting, only nodding slightly. He spoke softly, as if to himself and at the same time, as if trying to explain something.

”This is the Gate of Rebirth!”

”The Gate of Rebirth…” Wang Baole murmured. He was filled with awe. The boat had brought them to the center of this galactic domain, and in the middle of it was… an immense and vast planet that exceeded the size of the Solar System!

When Wang Baole saw this planet, shock and awe surged through him.

The planet was simply too big. It was speckled with bright, even colors, and a large horde of souls flew out from within the planet. From afar, it looked like the source of the Dark River. The souls that departed from it formed a river that spread and split into smaller streams. They flowed through the multiple Gates of Rebirth around the planet!
