“Basically, it is to find a new figurine and steal back the air of joy that you have taken from him.” Fu Shu’s face slowly recovered, “Xi God was desperate. The nightmare in your heart is stronger than Dream Break Town. Even if he succeeded in recovering, he wouldn’t get the joy back from you.”
“Who is this?” Bai Feng glanced at the man on Gao Ming’s back.
“My name is Fu Shu. I am Dream Break Town’s founder…”
“Then, have you seen my children?” Bai Feng cut him off. “They are about Gao Ming’s age. The girl’s name is Bai Qiao, and the boy’s name is Bai Xiao.”
“I have no impression of them. If they really went missing in this town, they probably had been sacrificed…” Fu Shu’s voice dwindled. He could feel the murderous intent from Bai Feng, “Immortal Pharma’s thirteen modification methods is a scam. All of you are food.”
“No. They must still be alive!” Bai Feng ignored her wounds. She begged Gao Ming, “Can you tell me… have Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao experienced these too?”
“Other than Dream Break Town, Immortal Pharma has another deep-level nightmare called Han Hai. Your children and I were trapped there.” Gao Ming helped Bai Feng up from the ground, “At least before I woke up, they were safe and sound.”
“That’s good.” Bai Feng didn’t want an answer. She just wanted a sense of comfort.
“Follow me. The destination we have is the same,” Gao Ming touched his heart. He could sense the emotional fluctuations and blood flow in Bai Feng’s body. It was the God of Flesh and Blood that transformed Bai Feng’s body. If Gao Ming wanted, he could turn Bai Feng into his shell.
The hidden monsters became braver and brasher. The fight for authority heightened. Right as Gao Ming killed Xi God, the town started to shake again. The brick roads shook. The soil appeared to have come alive. The pebbles stood up like scales like an earth dragon was moving through the ground.
Talismans and blood appeared on the bricks on the road. They looked like locks that sealed the earth dragon’s spine in place. The rumbling lasted for several minutes. The road became twisted. Then, a nine-story tall Soul Temple appeared on the street where the Ti Du Temple was.
Rituals like prayers, sacrifices, chantings and so on were happening on each floor to worship the Gods. The views became blurrier as the stories went up. The top floor was like a staircase that ascended into the heavens. The starry sky was just a decoration for the giant temple. The mystery of the world was behind the door.
One had the urge to kneel when one saw the temple. The feeling was that once one entered this temple, one would be blessed forever.
The temple radiated immense attraction. Divine figures were carved on the walls, but none of the divines were commonly recognisable. People who bustled inside the temple had an impressive aura. A small exchange with them would make one enlightened.
The bloody rain fell on all the houses. Only the temple was spared. People walked out of the residence near the temple. They walked towards the temple like they were possessed. After they crossed the temple gate, they slowly walked up the stairs. They slowly became touched by the divine before disappearing into the holy fog amidst the zen music.
“Don’t look at that ghost building!” Fu Shu hated that he had no hands. He couldn’t cover his ears. He closed his eyes. “Someone has reached the maximum limits for the Temple Construction method in this nightmare! It has opened the heavenly gate!”
“What are you talking about? What ghost building? Isn’t that a red temple?” What Bai Feng saw was different from what Fu Shu and Gao Ming saw.
“Just don’t look at it! No matter what you see!” Fu Shu said sharply, “Temple Construction is also called Living Temple! Living humans use their organs, blood and flesh as the foundation and gather various strange objects in the nightmare to construct themselves into a living building. It enjoys sacrifice and faith like a normal God. In other words, this building consumes people! They will do anything to keep on feasting!” Fu Shu calmed down after taking a breath, “You only need to sacrifice yourself for one story of the temple. For two stories, you need to sacrifice three humans to open three altars. For three stories, you need to sacrifice three humans to each altar. It goes on and on. I didn’t even think a nine-story temple could even appear in this town.”
Fu Shu’s description was much crueller than Gao Ming anticipated.
“You seem to know this well.” Gao Ming led Fu Shu and Bai Feng to the ancestral hall’s side to avoid the rain.
“Temple Construction was something Immortal Pharma accidentally stumbled upon when they tried to dissect Dream. The person in charge confirmed that Dream’s altar had immense self-healing power. As long as people still have nightmares, the altar will never be destroyed,” Fu Shu looked pained. This person appeared to be close to him, “Then, he planted fragments of the altar into some testers’ brains. The fragments drained their consciousness and memories. They were turned into strange buildings.” This content belongs to N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Fu Shu turned to look at the street where the Soul Temple was. However, he quickly moved his head away after one glance. “Those buildings were placed at Dream Break Town. They are situated on the street where the ghost building is. All the Gods here are formed from that Unmentionable’s fate chart. Part of the buildings here are the fragments of his main altar.”
“Do you mean most of the buildings here are previously living humans?” Bai Feng was so shocked that her tone rose, “How many lives have been lost here?”
“Most of them were patients of terminal illnesses. Dream prefer souls tormented by illnesses.” Only Fu Shu knew how many sins this place had accumulated. In the beginning, he really wanted to use the human world’s pain to build a theme park, just like his grandfather. Unfortunately, he had failed tremendously.
“The nine-story soul temple is as strong as any divine ghost. Other than the fact that it can’t move, it is basically invincible. To destroy it, you have to break through Floor One to Floor Nine and then push open the heavenly gate.” Fu Shu hesitated, “A nine-story Soul Temple has appeared before, so no one knows what you will encounter on the ninth floor. No one knows what is behind the heavenly gate. Is it the real world? Or is it somewhere else?”
