Chapter 231: The Dream Ferryman and the Three-Leaf Symbiosis
Dream world.
Yin Shen took Sally to the door of the Kingdom of God. The door of the Kingdom of God with a simple metal texture slowly opened outward, shining the light of the dream sun outside.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The door to God's Kingdom was clearly opening automatically, but Sally had to put her hand on it.
Pretending to be the one who pushed open this incredibly large door.
You can't see the giant door at the top paired with the small figure, which makes it feel funny and funny.
Yin Shen walked towards the outside, and Sally immediately followed with her calves.
On the right side of the gate to the Kingdom of God, there is a tall steel giant.
This giant was carrying a large ship on its back. Its head was the collision angle on the ship. It sat cross-legged and hugged its limbs together. It looked like it had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time.
The giant's body was covered with strange vines, tightly wrapped around its body, and dark silver flowers bloomed on the boat behind it.
Sally had also seen this giant ship many times: "It's all rusty."
"It must be broken."
Yin Shen: "It just hasn't worked for too long and has rested for a while."
Yin Shen stepped forward and touched the hull.
You can see the rust on it peeling off instantly, and then blooming with golden light.
The ship giant woke up little by little, making the sound of gold and iron rubbing together, roaring in the dream world.
Yin Shen restarted the sacred ship and continued its mission.
But it seems to be missing something, and it can never move on its own.
Yin Shen released a ray of wishing light and integrated it into the body of the ship giant. The ship giant was originally just a fourth-level prop, but now its power has begun to grow continuously.
Every trace of its body is integrated with the power of the light of wish, and it becomes an existence completely condensed by the light of wish.
The ship giant crept down little by little and turned into a magnificent golden ship.
on board.
The ship giant bloomed into a dream realm, and its realm was released by the lights on the ship, just like the kingdom of fairies.
In the kingdom of ship giants, you can see various statues, representing every kind of creature in the world that is qualified to enter the dream world.
Not only intelligent species, but also beings with the qualifications to dream can ascend to the dreamy star sea.
The golden ship set off from the gate of the Kingdom of God and began its cruise.
It will patrol all areas of the dream from day to night, shuttle around the edges of the dreams of billions of creatures, and finally load all the dreams of life onto the ship.
Set off at dawn and return as the night fades.
Then send all the dreams of life into the sea of stars in the dream world.
Day after day, the cycle continues.
At the same time, it is also the main passage and method to enter the kingdom of God. Others must pass through this ship if they want to enter the dream world.
Yin Shen watched the sacred boat slowly leave and disappear into the darkness of the dream world.
This ship has been swimming on the edge of everyone's dream. It exists between illusion and reality, but few people can see it unless you resist the last moment of your life.
Yin Shen: "From now on, there is no need for humans to control it."
Sally was a little confused: "No need to hire someone?"
In other words, there was a person driving this ship before.
Sally's doubts were quickly answered, because after Yin Shen finished all this, he looked at the vines and dark silver flowers that fell off the ship giant.
The sacred boat is just a prop, and there was a person who controlled it.
When the two are combined, it is the existence that truly leads to the dream of life.
Yin Shen watched the dark silver flowers entangled together, and finally turned into a human figure.
The ferryman of dreams.
He has a human-like head, but the lower part of his body is a flower. His blouse is completely different from the goblin's, it is a dull color.
Because the ferryman is not a goblin, he was born from the power of wisdom.
Its will and power hide all kinds of desires, but they have been sealed in the lantern of the sacred ship before.
If you use a gift to describe his essence.
It can only be described as the cup of desire.
The ferryman also embarked on the road of wisdom and became a reincarnation.
He transformed from flower to seed again and again, and then grew from the seed again, his roots entangled in the sacred boat.
Now, he is back again.
The ferryman saluted God Yin: "God Yin Sai."
But now that the ship giant can successfully complete the task alone, there is no need for a ferryman anymore.
Yin Shen told him: "It's over."
"Your mission ends here."
Ferryman: "Don't you need me anymore?"
Yin Shen: "This is just the mission of a prop. Once upon a time, the dream world needed a ferryman, and you were needed to carry out the mission of this prop."
Yin Shen looked towards the direction where the miraculous item, the Holy Boat, left: "Now, the Holy Boat can complete this mission."
Yin Shen told him: "You complete the mission given to you by Sheila, and I will grant you freedom."
The ferryman didn't seem to have much expectation for freedom, so he said something unexpected.
"free?"
"Isn't that just endless emptiness?"
The ferryman told God Insai: "My body is the cup of the sun, the flower of desire that combines wisdom and power. I was born from the desires and emotions of the three-leaf people."
"I hope you can give me a mission and let me start my endless pursuit."
"Even if."
"Just a boring mission."
Yin Shen looked at the ferryman: "Why?"
Ferryman: "Because of this, life can have meaning."
"Because I have a mission, I am not a stone."
"When you have something you want and a mission you are gifted with, desire can only come from there."
"Only in this way can you have joy and sorrow, and only then can you feel that you are alive."
The ferryman's blouse exudes the light of wisdom and power, and a variety of emotions appear on it, turning into expressions of crying, laughing, despair, and joy.
"Having goals and desires is the only way to live."
"Even if his life is a nightmare, even if his desires are extremely ugly, even if everything about him is disgusting."
"It is also far higher than a dead object, even if this dead object is a mythical prop."
"because……"
"He is alive."
The ferryman suddenly remembered what the messenger of God said to him a long, long time ago.
The goblin gave his dream egg to the ferryman, turning his fear and despair into a nightmare and condensing it into a lamp.
That beautiful creature that seemed to embody all the good things in the world said to him under the starry sky and the sea.
"The sacred boat that travels to and from dreams and the dream ferryman who carries memories!"
"I hope you can take my place in the future, travel between dreams, and bring back all the memories that belong to the dream star sea."
"The lives have not disappeared, their memories and their past."
"They will all turn into stars and stay with God forever."
The goblin gave him a job with no end in sight, and it seemed like it would never end day after day, and there would never be an end in sight.
But when he heard this sentence, he didn't resist at all.
even.
A feeling of joy arose.
That joyful emotion even broke through the dark nightmare in his heart, allowing him to see endless light.
He couldn't help but said to the goblin: "Thank you... thank you..."
"Thank you."
The fairy in the dream smiled and answered him: "We made an agreement, didn't we?"
That promise is still etched in his heart.
The ferryman looked at God Insai: "I am very grateful to her."
"She gave me a mission and gave meaning to my endless and empty world."
"Even if I sail in the darkness day after day, I am still happy."
Yin Shen understood and said to the ferryman.
"The Sacred Boat has completely replaced your previous mission, and the Dream World no longer needs you to fulfill the role of this prop."
"if you are willing to."
"You can choose a new mission."
When the ferryman heard about his new mission, a smile broke out on his face, as if he had found the meaning of life again.
"I will welcome my new mission with great joy."
"The great god Insai."——
Ruhe Island.
Fire-protecting city.
The fire spread in the city, and there were sounds of fighting and crying everywhere.
Some snake men fled out of the city with their things, and some snake men brandished spears and swords to kill people in the fire-protecting city and seize their property. Chaos descended here.
"Don't let them escape, seize the altar and palace first." Groups of soldiers rushed into the city, guarding a snake man wearing a bronze helmet, who was giving orders.
"Loot this city." The soldiers went crazy after breaking into this wealthy city, and they robbed everything with jealousy.
"Kill!" The robbery finally turned into massacre.
This is a group of snakemen from Moonlight City, Seins City and the Northern Stone Demon Tribe. They suddenly attacked the city.
And the reason.
It was because the superior fire protectors increased the amount of their offerings and asked them to hand over a large amount of grain and animal meat. In addition, they also had to offer a large number of snake girls.
This completely angered the snake people of Moonlight City and Seins City. They originally only resisted the rule of the Fire City and gathered a group of soldiers to fight against the Fire City army.
But after the battle, this group of rebels discovered that the Fire Guards' army was vulnerable.
The Fire Keeper, who only knew how to enjoy himself, did not dare to go to the battlefield and would only hide behind the soldiers. He thought that he was the master of the snake people and no one could resist him.
This made it impossible for the combat effectiveness and morale of ordinary soldiers to be compared with the furious snake rebels. The army of the Fire Guard City collapsed at the first touch. This also caused the rebels of Moonlight City and Seins to change from being anxious to
Very ambitious.
They want to attack the Fire Keeper City and teach the greedy and tyrannical Fire Keepers a lesson.
The rebels colluded with the northern beast-herding tribe, the Stone Demon Tribe, and formed an alliance to attack the Fire Guard City together.
At this moment, not only the powerful snakemen entered the Fire Guard City, but also a large number of small fire demons and small stone demons following them.
The power of the battle between the fire demon and the stone demon destroyed many buildings and set fire to the city.
This made the Fire Guard City even more chaotic, with everyone running around like headless flies.
The rebel soldiers kept rushing towards the altar and palace, which were the richest places in the Fire Guard City and where the dignitaries were.
They rushed here frantically, and climbed the steps one by one towards the top.
At this time, the fire rising above the altar was blazing.
"call!"
The terrifying sound of the fire demon came out, and everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the soaring fire.
Some people were happy and some were horrified.
"Fire Demon."
The Fire Keeper finally used his last resort and summoned the fire demon left by his ancestor Alsini.
In front of the palace, the fire protector slowly walked out.
He shouted: "The rebels will be burned to ashes under the devil's fire."
However, what people didn't expect was that although the fire guardian summoned the fire demon in the chaos, it was obvious that he had never fought side by side with this fire demon.
Except for communicating with the fire demon once when he ascended the position of fire protector, he never made the fire demon do anything else.
He is a high-ranking fire protector, so who is worthy of him using the fire demon left by his ancestors?
now.
This shortcoming is revealed.
He had no way to control the fire demon like an arm wielder, and his orders even completely conflicted with the fire demon's ideas, causing problems and burning all of his own people to death.
The rebels also immediately discovered this problem. They were originally frightened, but their faces showed ecstasy.
"The opportunity has come."
"kill him."
"If he doesn't die, we will die."
Except for the fire demon, the fire guardian itself is not a powerful person.
The rebels rushed forward, and most of them were immediately burned to death by the fire demon.
However, several of the second-level powerful ones rushed up the stairs and broke into the palace, found a loophole and killed themselves in front of the Fire Keeper.
The firekeeper shouted in terror, but no one could save him at this moment.
As the most noble person among the snake people, the Fire Keeper was killed directly in the palace by the rebels in an instant.
Moreover, the red-eyed rebels not only killed the Fire Keeper, but also killed all the Alsini family members in the palace, and finally looted the palace.
The families and dignitaries who used to be aloof and powerful in the past are now wailing under the butcher's knife.
That noble bloodline and surname have no meaning at all under the chaos of the army.
To the west of the Fire Protection City.
A group of soldiers are still fighting with the rebels. Their leader is a tall and strong snake man. His muscles exude the color of bronze, and his wild curly hair and eyes have a sense of self-power.
With a sword in one hand and a short spear in the other, he killed the rebels until they were retreating, leaving corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
But when the rebel snake-man soldiers approaching him stabbed him with their weapons, they discovered that his bronze skin was as hard as steel.
He did not see the expected spurt of blood, but instead made a crisp sound of metal interlacing.
The rebels were all dumbfounded. They had never seen anything like this before.
"How can this be?"
"What kind of monster is this?"
The snake man let out an angry roar and punched the rebel soldier's head off, then threw his body out and hit other rebels.
Such a powerful and invulnerable monster scared the rebel soldiers back again and again.
But at this time, news came, and someone was crying and shouting.
"The Fire Keeper is dead."
"All members of the Alsini family are gone, and the inheritance is broken."
All the soldiers looked at the person who said this in horror, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
It is not that the Fire Guard City has not been attacked before, there were also people who led large armies into the city.
But no one has ever dared to kill anyone from the Arsini family. This is a rule and an iron law.
But now, this rule and iron law has been broken.
The rebels in the crowd also shouted: "The Fire Keeper is dead, you are finished."
"Surrender quickly."
But the tall and strong snake-man man ignored him at all. His eyes were red and he let out an angry roar.
"kill!"
"Defend our city."
It seems that the snake man has a high prestige. When he roared, the soldiers immediately followed and obeyed his orders completely.
The man's name is Alpans, a guard captain in the city.
Alpans is a famous warrior in the Fire Guard City. Although he is not a powerful person and he is not a descendant of a prominent family.
But Alpanz has an unparalleled physical strength.
No sword can cut his skin, and no magic can tear or penetrate his body. His tenacious vitality gives him a regenerative power that is almost immortal in the eyes of ordinary snakemen.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he looks like a monster that does not belong to the world.
Some people say that he was definitely not born from a snake, and that he might have Mou Xue's unique bloodline.
However, Alpans' powerful body and strength could not reverse the decline at this moment, and the Fire Guard City had been completely defeated.
More and more soldiers from the Fire Guard City were killed, and the strong men and monsters began to rush towards them.
A powerful snakeman arrived here. The moment he saw Alpans, he immediately controlled his contractual partner, the stone demon, to attack Alpans.
"Kill this monster."
Even though Alpans was fearless in the face of swords, when he faced a stone demon, he immediately held his breath.
The several-meter-tall stone demon waved its arms and struck him down, and Alpans immediately raised his arms.
The crowd erupted in exclamations.
Because Alpans actually blocked the stone demon's attack, although the huge force directly hammered the floor tiles under Alpans' feet into cracks, it was obvious that Alpans was not injured.
It is simply unheard of for a mortal body to resist the power of a stone demon.
Even the most powerful ones cannot do it, because wisdom and power have never been known for their physical strength.
The stone demon then attacked Alpanz, but Alpanz blocked it again and again.
Alpanz's body also began to show injuries. Although the injuries healed in a short time, it was obvious that Alpanz had begun to fall into a disadvantage.
The bigger problem is that other powerful people from the rebels in the city are expected to arrive soon.
Even if Alpanse has such a powerful body, he can only be trapped and captured by the opponent in the end.
Alpanz immediately made up his mind.
Failure is inevitable, now the only thing left is to take people and escape.
He broke free from the entanglement of the stone demon and the powerful man, and shouted to his subordinates.
"Follow me and fight out."
Alpans no longer trembled with those powerful people and monsters, he specifically rushed towards the places where the ordinary rebels were the most numerous.
His powerful physical strength and invulnerable body are beyond what ordinary people can deal with.
As a result, Alpans really cut his way out of the Fire Guard City with a group of people.
When they rushed out, less than half of the hundreds of people were left.
Everyone was injured and covered in blood.
The moment they escaped, they all had a feeling of disbelief.
The snake people either roared loudly or covered their faces and cried.
"Out."
"We escaped."
"The Fire Protector is gone, and so are the Fire Protectors."
Alpans also turned back and looked in the direction of the Fire Guard City, which fell into a sea of fire.
moment.
He was also a little confused.
He used to be loyal to the Fire Keeper, but now the Fire Keeper is gone.
He used to defend the Fire Guard City, but in the end he failed to defend the Fire Guard City.
"Where to go next?"
When Alpans was born in Fire Guard City, it was when the city-state was at its peak. Al means my child. The snakemen in Fire Guard City all like to put these two words in front of their names when naming them.
All this comes from their ancestor Alsine, which means little girl, which together means my little daughter.
And Alpanz is my child, who will be like the legendary Pans, with the same wisdom as him, and the same courage as Pans.
Alpanz's parents had great expectations for him. He was born with a special red mark on his back. His strength and physique as a child were far beyond those of ordinary people.
And Alpans did exactly what they imagined, eventually becoming a warrior and the captain of the guard of the Fire Protector City.
Alpanz found a small village outside the city to rest for the night. He tossed and turned during the night.
He didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
But after he fell asleep, he had a dream.
He saw an endless sea of blood, and a great being walked out of the sea of blood.
Behind her is reflected the vicissitudes of the barbaric land. There are ancient cities on the land, but the cities were blown by the wind and sand, and turned into boundless ruins in the blink of an eye.
Thousands of vague humanoid shadows appeared behind her, it was an extremely ancient creature.
The air echoed with voices chanting her name.
"The Lord of the Kingdom of Blood in the Deep Sea, the Great First Ancestor of Blood, and the King of the Most Ancient Race."
"Life...the origin of life, servant of the Mother Goddess..."
"Everything will return to... billions of years ago."
The sound grew louder and louder, reverberating in Alpanz's ears like a bell.
"ha!"
Alpanz suddenly woke up and looked at the horizon.
It's still dark.
Alpanz was panting, he was sweating profusely, and his eyes looked frightened that was rare for him.
Because he felt that what he saw in his dream was not an ordinary existence.
That.
It should be a god.
"Who is this?"
"Why do I have such a dream?"
At the same time, he also had a strong sense of familiarity.
He suddenly recalled that he seemed to have had this dream when he was very young, and he had also dreamed of the woman in the boundless blood, but he could not clearly see her appearance.
But as he grew up, he gradually forgot this dream.
Unexpectedly, he would have this dream again, just when he was faced with a decision and at a loss.
He felt that this was a revelation from God to him.
"Life?" he recalled the word spoken in his dream.
"Could it be that what I saw was the Mother of Life?"
But he felt that it looked different from the mother of life in myths and legends.
Alpanz thought about it for a long time until daylight gradually dawned.
He finally decided: "Maybe I should go and see the City of Life, which is the land of gods. Maybe I can find my own revelation."
Alpans decided to go to the City of Life to find enlightenment. Although no one has been able to return alive from that city, Alpans has a sense of confidence in himself.
In other words, he seemed to sense someone calling and waiting for him.
After dawn.
Alpans summoned all the snake soldiers he brought out. Most of these soldiers' hometowns are in the villages and towns surrounding the Fire Guard City. Only a few families live in the Fire Guard City.
"Everything is over, you all should go home first!"
The soldiers looked at Alpanz, and one person said to Alpanz unwillingly: "Captain, is this the end?"
Alpans shook his head: "Of course not."
"I have to do something very important now, so I have to say goodbye to you for the time being."
"It's not over yet, you go home and wait."
"If I find the answer, I will come back to summon you."——
Dense jungle and ferns everywhere.
Mountains tower into the sky like pillars, and winding rivers flow through the foot of the mountains.
Alpans looked up at this mountain peak from a distance. Most of it was obscured by clouds, and only the lower half could be seen from the foot of the mountain.
"This is it."
He traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived at the mountain of the origin of life.
That is the mountain peak where the City of Life is located.
It originally had no name, but gradually got a name in the myth of the snake people, and was called the mountain of the origin of life.
Snake people believe that all life and intelligent species began from here, and this is the origin of everything.
Alpanz looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, the blood in his body boiled even more, and the sound echoing in his ears became stronger and stronger.
He seemed to have sensed the power and aura of the City of Life, the supreme master who originated from the bloodline source.
He walked to the foot of the mountain and took out his tools.
He was ready to climb this insurmountable peak for snake people.
