The pain that came from the fingertips became more obvious. At first, the Dream Priest merely felt a tad uncomfortable. However, as time passed, it felt like someone had burned their hands with a brand. The source was the eyeball in their palm, or more accurately, the name in the eyeball, Gao Ming.
The Dream Priest was the bridge between the Gods and the citizens of Dream Break Town. Their body was carved with the names of everyone in the dream. Their names were the price they had to pay to enter Dream Break Town. To cultivate the Unmentionables, all the testers and Gods were nutrients for Immortal Pharma. The Dream Priest was the only exception. Even the company had no idea why they chose to appear in this town. The mad Dream Priest was covered in traces of endless dreams. They could manipulate the power of various Gods and the town itself within reason. This was why it wasn’t hard for them to see Gao Ming’s name. Humans had an easy time lying in reality but in one’s dream, the subconscious would often offer the truth.
“Gao Ming?” Initially, the Dream Priest didn’t think the name was that special. It was not until their fingers burned from holding the name that their mind changed. A person’s memory was recorded in a name in the dream realm.
The Dream Priest normally had an easy time dealing with testers. Once they wiped away their names, the tester’s memories and consciousness would be eliminated. However, when they tried to wipe away Gao Ming’s name, both the priest and Dream Break Town started to become unstable. The name appeared to be a fatal taboo.
The Dream Priest had never encountered this situation before. They injected more dreams into the name and used more eyes to observe Gao Ming’s name. Eventually, they stumbled upon a shocking discovery. Gao Ming wasn’t the dreamer’s real name. Gao Ming was the lock to seal up his true appearance! Follow current novels on novel•fire.net
Black blood splattered out of the Dream Priest’s palm. They screamed and wanted to use their other hand to dig out the eyeball in the middle of their palm. However, the eyeball that contained Gao Ming’s name had gone out of control. Red chains appeared in the eye.
The Dream Priest danced in the white tent. All the names on their body started to move towards the eyeball. It was a curious scene. The lost names crawled into the eyeball. The Dream Priest chanted in an illegible language. If Fu Shu were close, he would understand that the Dream Priest was using one of the thirteen methods, the Name Replacement Method.
The Dream Priest wanted to use the names on their body to replace Gao Ming, but the names they had couldn’t sustain the karmic chains in Gao Ming’s name. The names burst like bubbles, and no one was able to discover the secret behind Gao Ming’s name.
Each of the names was special. The Dream Priest closed their palms and pressed the eyeball to the forehead. A flash of lightning lit up the silent sky. The Dream Priest utilised God’s name to approach the eyeball. Even if they used Dream Break Town’s power, they barely saw the thing hidden behind Gao Ming’s name.
The Dream Priest saw an unfamiliar face. It was completely different from the face they saw in Gao Ming earlier.
“Has his life been swapped before?”
The chains around Gao Ming’s name started to tighten. The God’s names didn’t dare to approach. The Dream Priest cut open their face and hauled out a similarly chained name. The name was tinged with curses. It was hidden well inside the priest’s skull. It contained the presence of Unmentionables.
“Zhang Mingli.” The normal name evoked Dream Break Town’s great power. The Priest wanted to deliver Zhang Mingli’s real name into the eyeball so that both names would be injured. However, things didn’t go as planned.
A house crumbled on the northern side of town. The tent’s northern side was yanked apart as a citizen in red was tossed into the tent. Gao Ming carried Fu Shu and stood in the bloody rain. He hadn’t even used his altar or released his nightmare.
“The enemy is a bit too weak,” Gao Ming looked around with confusion.
Fu Shu coughed heavily. Two blades were stuck in his back. “Do you have no heart? How can you use me as a meat shield?”
“That’s your fault for lying to me!”
“I didn’t!” Fu Shu was confused too. The Dream Priest was the most unreadable presence in town. Even Immortal Pharma didn’t understand them. Some testers went into a coma after sharing a look with them. They were much more dangerous than the Ji Gods.
However, the Dream Priest didn’t employ their scary tactics on Gao Ming. They only sent the citizens who were there to worship and entertain the Gods to deal with Gao Ming.
Gao Ming walked into the white tent. He noticed that the Dream Priest was injured.
“Did something happen when they were trying to conduct the Organ Insertion for Xi God?” Gao Ming glanced at the figurine and Bai Feng inside the tent. Currently, there was one person who was more anxious than the Dream Priest. He was none other than Xi God’s consciousness inside Bai Feng, “The Dream Priest is injured, and Madam Xi is not here. If you’re clever, you’ll voluntarily leave Bai Feng’s body.”
“Gao Ming, be careful! Look at the Dream Priest’s hands!” Fu Shu didn’t care about Bai Feng. Once he entered the tent, he looked for the reason behind the Dream Priest’s injury. His eyes landed on the priest’s hands. “Your name and Zhang Mingli’s name! Quick! Grab your real name, and you can leave Dream Break Town any time you want!”
Fu Shu bumped into Gao Ming with his head. The Dream Priest didn’t expect things to go south so quickly. Their lips which were covered by tattoos, slowly opened, “I know your name.”
Gao Ming’s reaction was to deliver the Dream Priest a forward punch. He’d capture the priest and question them about the rest.
“You have forgotten your name! Haha! You have been replaced!”
Gao Ming’s punch caved in the Dream Priest’s face. Then, the Dream Priest exploded like a bubble. The names disappeared with them. Only the clothes remained.
“They’re weak, but they sure run fast.” Gao Ming picked up the clothes and mulled over what the Dream Priest had said.
