The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 269 Inviting You into My Dream, the Yandere Ancient God Falls in Love with Me
"Oh dear, what are you saying, Ayan?"

"What a nightmare! Going to work, housing prices, loans, no salary—this is a nightmare! We're only in the second year of junior high! The sun is shining so brightly outside, how about we go out and play a couple of rounds of that hottest game right now?"

"what game."

"LOL, I'm a pro at Garen!"

"Internet cafe all night, five yuan a night!"

Watching my best friend at the front of the table talking, listening to the chatter around me, and listening to Jay Chou's new song "Clearly," and especially the girl humming this song, my deskmate, who looks very familiar.

She has slightly chubby cheeks, but fair skin, jet-black hair, and almond-shaped eyes. She has a cute smile and is dressed in modern girlish clothes and canvas shoes. She is a simplified version of the petite Miss Li.

Yes, they were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little, and their relationship was so good that Zhou Yan could sleep at her house, and they even got into fights with Miss Li's great-grandfather.

My uncle was an officer who participated in the counterattack against foreign forces.

He had curly black hair, was incredibly tall, standing at 1.96 meters. I heard he had a good relationship with his comrade's sister, but Jiang Huaiyin, a musician from the city, also liked him and often came to visit him.

Kaiming is a Chinese language teacher, but he doesn't lecture; he just talks nonsense every time he teaches.

There is also an uncle.

Fortunately, this uncle had a simple and honest appearance, unlike some handsome young man.

Zhou Yan felt like his mind was blank. A day passed, and when he returned home, he saw his parents, the food on the table, and the lion cat lying on the table. Zhou Yan brought it up and became even more certain that this was a dream.

This lion cat with heterochromatic eyes even has a ball!
Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "What's wrong? This was a gift from one of your pen pals. You must take good care of yourself, Xiao Yan."

Zhou Yan remained unfazed:

"Yes, but I heard that the cat still had its health checked."

"Meow?!!!"

The lion cat stared intently at Zhou Yan with the eyes of a traitor, then slapped the boy's arm hard with its paw, leaving a bloody welt. With a meow, it ran away.

Zhou Yan looked at the chaotic scene in his home and touched the bloodstains on his arm.

A burning pain.

It's unbelievably real.

However, this is absolutely not true.

Zhou Yan clenched his fist. Was it an illusion? Or a dream? Was the entire seal based on this kind of illusion-like technique? So, after the King of the Bashe revived, he himself was pulled into the bronze seal when he came into contact with it?

This illusion, or rather, dream, is quite sophisticated, with an extremely high level of judgment. Logically speaking, if it can pull even the King of Bashe, Han Zhuo, into this illusion, Zhou Yan would definitely not be able to break free from it.

However, Zhou Yan's current form is an incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, achieved through the transformation techniques of Nuwa. His true body is currently sitting quietly and breathing exercises in the Louguan Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain.

Therefore, when this avatar entered the illusion, Zhou Yan's self-awareness immediately noticed it, as if his brain had been split into two experiences, which he could not ignore at all.

Zhou Yan remained calm as he watched his parents urging him to eat.

A hint of gentleness appeared in the young Taoist's eyes.

They still went to eat as usual.

Zhou Yan spent about three days figuring out this world. He discovered that this 'world' was extremely strange. It seemed to be real, but there were also some inconsistencies in many details.

Clearly, the person who induced this dream had no idea what was going on in Zhou Yan's mind.

The home in his dream was a perfect replica of a modern show flat, with the floor always spotless, the sofa cushions arranged like geometric models, and the TV always playing the dramas Zhou Yan remembered.

The world around us is real and authentic.

But something's not right—

Math class.

Zhou Yan rested his chin on one hand, looking at the strange words on the blackboard. His lips twitched. Without a doubt, even in this illusion, the methods and techniques of immortals and gods could not solve the math problem.

There's no other way but to assume this illusion is based on Lord Zhou.

Unfortunately, if you don't know math, you just don't know it.

Zhou Yan began to try going out. He planned to buy a ticket to Mount Tai. Assuming his deduction was correct, then this place was equivalent to his spirit entering the illusion of the bronze seal.

However, even in an illusion, some things and identities cannot be concealed.

As long as he goes to Mount Tai, sets up a simple altar at the summit, holds a ceremony to worship the Lord of Mount Tai, and establishes a connection and resonance with the true Lord of Mount Tai, the strong connection between the inside and outside will be enough to instantly tear apart this illusion.

However, after Zhou Yan got off the high-speed train, he found himself back in his hometown.

Looking at the familiar high-speed rail station, the boy in the old-fashioned school uniform raised his eyebrows: "...So, you really don't want me to leave? If that's the case...it means my idea was right."

Zhou Yan began to make several attempts to travel to Mount Tai, or rather, other famous mountains and rivers.

They intend to use this as a base to break the seal.

Even now, because of his physical body, he can still feel his consciousness being affected and can sense the changes in time in the outside world. In fact, the flow of time in dreams is much faster than the normal flow in the outside world, but the situation in the outside world is urgent and Zhou Yan cannot delay.

He tried many times.

However, each attempt was intercepted and blocked. Zhou Yan began to try again and again, and a certain guess in his mind gradually settled and became clearer, just as he broke through the dream seal.

…………

In the dim, dark place, a woman sat cross-legged.

She lay on her side at the edge of reality and illusion, dressed in black. Her long, black hair almost reached her waist, yet seemed to cling to a persistent, sticky moisture, like seaweed. Ah, another long dream…

She thought to herself, "How boring, how boring!"

She is Ba.

He was the ruler of the ancient and original Bashu Kingdom.

In those divine ages, heroes, gods, and demons roamed the earth. The calamity of the ten suns had vanished, but the downfall and madness of the water god Gonggong caused the floods to spread. On that day, a leader of the Central Plains human race came here.

He said his name was Si Wenming.

Those were heroic and brave men, talking about an alliance to quell the raging floods of calamity. They said there was a calamity here called Cold Turbidity, which was difficult to tame. They had heard that in the land of Bashu, there were wondrous spells that could drag ancient gods into dreams.

He hoped to use this power to tame the King of Calamities, the Bashe.

The promise has been fulfilled.

A hero from the Central Plains defeated the evil god who stirred up the waters and flooded the land and crops. Wielding a divine weapon called the "Mountain-Splitting Axe," he used his own bravery and power to tear apart the mountains and rivers that were originally growing together, creating the Libi Gorge, Wentang Gorge, and Guanyin Gorge, where floods poured down.

The fierce god that had stirred up the waves, causing frequent floods and persistent fog in the Jialing River, was captured and bound with chains. Ba used his divine soul to perform magic, fulfilling the agreement, and dragged his angry and resentful water god's retinue into an eternal dream.

However, Ba was too young when he made the promise to Si Wenming.

As the ancient ruler of this land, she underestimated Han Zhuo's loyalty to the water god Gonggong, and she also underestimated the weight and power of time. In the long years, eternal loneliness eroded her.

One year, ten years, a hundred years.

Even a thousand years.

Dreams are beautiful, but no matter how beautiful a dream is, it is still based on what was seen and heard in that era. It keeps revolving, constantly rereading the same stories and scenery. In the dream, Ba also begins to 'wither' and become lonely.

This time, the seal was broken, and the Lord of Bashe was freed. [Shi]'s ministers came to persuade [Ba], telling her that her sacrifice and loneliness were meaningless, and so they became allies.

Then, a new soul came into contact with this place.

'Ah, humanity, the Yan and Huang Emperors.'

Ba thought to himself, this seal ignores those who come into contact with it. Even King Yu and King Si Wenming suffered from it back then. If this young human comes into contact with it, he will probably fall into a deep sleep and never wake up.

However, I have seen enough of these mundane and uninteresting dreams.

I am the ruler of the ancient Ba Kingdom, a god-man in charge of dreams, a witness to the long years, the guardian of the water god's retinue, a former ally of Yu the Great, and now the one who will challenge his authority.

Is it just the boring, mundane dream of ordinary people?

I have seen far too much.

'Hmm? Computer, movie…'

'What's this? ’

Take a look!

'Snacks, desserts, milk tea, what's this?'

'Take a look'

Thus, Ba saw a bizarre and wonderful world.

For seven consecutive days, unprecedented scenery, unprecedented enjoyment, and dreamlike experiences assailed [Ba]. Finally, as the young Taoist priest was constantly trying to leave the scene, he was in the boundless darkness at the deepest part of the dream.

A huge 'screen display' stood there.

What is shown above is the image of the young Taoist priest, constantly living and striving to overcome difficulties, as well as the colorful and boundless brilliance and splendor of the era brought about by his dream.

Before the dream image, a woman with extremely long black hair stared intently with wide eyes.

Ah, so dazzling...

Ah... boundless splendor, boundless clamor and prosperity of the times.

Son of man.

I want to keep you here.

Don't leave! Don't cling to the illusion of being a human hero, don't pursue the so-called destiny and duty of a human hero. Stay, stay!

I'll stay in this dream forever.

Stay with me forever, always.

I will grant you eternal life of spirit and soul, and we will never be apart. 'All that is in this magnificent and splendid dream world' will never be apart from me!

The ancient goddess, Yu the Great's ally, stared intently at the young Taoist.

Finally, I thought—

Ah, may we never be apart, for all eternity.

I definitely will.

I've fallen in love with you!

And so, in her hand appeared a thick, long wooden club, made of Jianmu wood, Xinbao Geng metal, and Tie!
"I must have fallen in love with you!"
