To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 888 - 487 Not So Good News_2

Although the deeper the dream, the more dangerous it was, the more of Leon’s desires she could find. Risk and reward coexisted, luring Alice completely into the excavation of Leon’s desires, from which she could not extricate herself.

So, when Leon fell into a deep sleep, she once again opened the permissions to venture into the dream world, and then she delved deeper and deeper into Leon’s subconscious.

The dreams were peeled away like layers of an onion, each layer revealing itself to her, propelling her further into the depths of Leon’s psyche.

One dream realm after another materialized before her, and scenes shrouded in mist spread before her eyes.

She was very skilled at navigating dreams now, but this proficiency made her forget the horrors of the dream world, leading her unwittingly deeper and deeper.

By the time she became aware of her surroundings, she found herself in a place she had never seen before.

It looked less like a dream and more like a desolate desert, with a pitch-black sky void of stars. Yet, mysteriously, she could still make out the things around her.

Dreams, being illogical entities, made it unsurprisingly normal to see things without light.

But this place gave Alice a different feeling, as if she had left the realm of dreams and arrived somewhere unknown.

"Where am I?"

The desolation instilled a sense of dread in Alice. She wanted to leave, but soon found that she could not walk away.

Her powers were sealed, and this world had captured her, rendering her unable to leave.

"Another one, huh? You Guixian are quite naive."

Turning around, Alice saw a handsome young man standing under a withered tree not far away, with a dog all bones lying beside him, panting as if overheated.

The man’s face was indistinct, as if obscured by a layer of frosted glass, making it impossible to discern his features.

Although she couldn’t see his face, Alice knew that he must be extraordinarily attractive.

What was more frightening was that although he was just casually leaning against the withered tree, Alice still felt a potent presence from him, as though he embodied this world itself, appearing in front of her in a way that she could understand.

Taking a cautious step back, Alice asked, "Who are you?"

"I have many names. In the West, I am liked to be called a Dream Demon, and in the East, I am known as the Dream Demon Sovereign. But don’t compare me with those ordinary Demon Lords; I became a Heavenly Lord before I turned into a Demon Lord." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Petting the skull of the dog beside him, the Dream Demon Sovereign spoke with a smile, "Having slept for so long, if not for you, I might have continued to slumber."

"What does that have to do with us?" Alice asked.

"This is the end of dreams. One by one, you all came here, and finally, you have awoken me. I’ve slept so long that I’m astonished to see that Guixian have developed self-awareness. It must be quite special for you to split into your own entities, a shame I haven’t had the chance to see it."

The Dream Demon Sovereign looked regretful, as if missing the chance to see a unique Guixian was a great pity.

Watching him, Alice, while trying to escape, asked, "What do you mean you were a Heavenly Lord before you became a Demon Lord?"

"Do you know about that? Then we have something to discuss. Anyway, it’s quite a troublesome process. Heavenly Lords are pure and desireless, whereas Demon Lords are emotional and full of desires. The two are almost impossible to conjoin, yet I still managed to merge them into one, multiplying my mana many times over."

With a deep sigh, the Dream Demon Sovereign continued, "Ordinary Heavenly Lords are but children in my eyes, and Demon Lords are nothing more than jesters, too boring to even glance at. Only dreams are mysterious and ever-changing, so I simply became the Dream Demon Sovereign, sleeping here while watching the dreams unfold, the days passing by without notice."

His demeanor was relatively mild, which led Alice to realize that he might be an entity she could communicate with.

However, she still maintained a safe distance from the Dream Demon Sovereign and spoke cautiously, "So, may I..."

"You may not," the Dream Demon Sovereign said with a smile, "Not just you, but also the man you’re constantly worried about can’t leave. I can hardly let go of such an interesting Guixian like you. Stay here and fill my dreams, let me see how much joy you can bring me."

Alice’s eyes widened as she began to flee backward, but the barren desert beneath her feet suddenly turned into quicksand, dragging her into a deeper world.

Here, she saw a multitude of "Alices," just like her, who had come to satisfy their partners’ desires but had all become part of the Dream Demon Sovereign’s collection.

She felt her memory fading, the Dream Demon Sovereign easily read her memories and let out a snort of derision.

"Great Heavenly Lord? Fang Cheng? What cats and dogs, presuming to call themselves the Great Heavenly Lord in my presence! Never mind, once I encounter them, I’ll just kill them off with ease."

Time began to slow down here, the flow of the dreamworld started to decelerate, she felt herself freezing bit by bit, and regret accordingly surged in her heart.

I’m sorry, Great Heavenly Lord.

I’m sorry, Leon.

Alice couldn’t imagine the Dream Demon Sovereign being defeated, given his terrifying power.

This Demon Sovereign, rooted in the dreams of all things, was a very terrible being; he had crossed the boundaries of Heavenly Lord and Demon Lord, an extremely ancient Cultivator, who even the Great Heavenly Lord couldn’t rival here.

Just as Alice was completely despairing, she felt the flow of time return to normal.

The bindings on them disappeared, the sandy ground was split open, and they were fished out from inside.

The dark night sky burst into light, and Fang Cheng, frowning, came to the scene and looked at Alice with concern.

"Alice, I have some bad news for you..."

"Great Heavenly Lord, run! That guy is really powerful!"

"That guy? Which guy?"

Just as Fang Cheng was puzzled, the Dream Demon Sovereign noticed the suddenly appearing Fang Cheng.

With just one glance, his blurry face began to change, large swathes of color emerged on his countenance, radiant as if a hundred flowers were in full bloom.

Looking at Fang Cheng, he said excitedly, "You are Fang Cheng? You are the Great Heavenly Lord! I’ve lived for millions of years, and this is the first time I’ve met someone who’s almost equal to me! The ones I’ve met before were too boring, you are the opponent I really want to battle!"

The sand flew up, and the world transformed!

This was the endpoint of the dreamworld, the territory of the Dream Demon Sovereign, where anything he desired could materialize.

He could easily set the laws here and change the shape of this place at will. If he wished, he could even create a new heaven and earth, reshape the elements of earth, water, fire, and air, and form a new world here.

Endless power converged upon him, the endless Laws flowed through him. At this moment, one of the most ancient Cultivators fully unfurled, turning into streaming light that lunged toward Fang Cheng.

"Palm Thunder."

The ordinary Palm Thunder was unleashed, directly shattering the opponent’s streaming light, forcing the Dream Demon Sovereign back to his original form, to corporeality.

His body began to change incessantly, the eternal divine body started to crack, the Laws constituting his body began to fall apart, rapidly steering him towards destruction.

Feeling his imminent death, the Dream Demon Sovereign stared blankly at Fang Cheng not far away and muttered, "Why?"

It was then that Fang Cheng turned his head to look at the Dream Demon Sovereign and nodded, "You’re fairly powerful, actually being able to postpone death for a moment."

"How did you cultivate? Why are you so strong?"

"It’s probably talent. Alright, enough talk. I still have something to say to my staff."

Looking at Alice, Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Even though it’s a bit embarrassing, ’Heartbeat City’ is going to be taken down."

Hearing this, the Dream Demon Sovereign felt it was extremely absurd.

My existence, not even comparable to the news of a game being taken offline.

What an insult this is!
