Chapter 233: Sweet Dreams
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Flame Emperor, along with all the Flame Clan members, merged into the Source of Dreams.
King Lin issued the final order to prohibit this object from coming into contact with the outside world,
Even in Jing Yi’s ancestral teachings, there was very little mention of the Rebellion of the Three Kings back then and why the Flame Clan was completely wiped out.
And Jing Yi was unaware of another strange fact.
To this day, within the Flame City, no one had discovered the bodies of the Flame Clan Ancient Realm experts besides that of King Lin.
In short, after a huge shock, Jing Yi took a deep breath.
His not-so-clear mind realized something.
“So, this object must be very dangerous?”
If it was not dangerous, there was no need for King Lin to give that order.
The Crimson Queen said softly, “Yes.”
“Then, do I have the authority to order you to open the seal on it?” Jing Yi asked and he quickly received the Crimson Queen’s response, “You have the authority.”
As the only surviving Flame Clan member, Jing Yi naturally had that authority.
Hearing this reply, a cold glint flashed in Jing Yi’s eyes, “Then open it!”
The Crimson Queen added, “I have to remind you that the Source of Dreams might not adhere to my will. Once it is released, the first thing it might want to kill is you.”
“Furthermore, according to calculations, this object may bring great catastrophe to the outside world.”
Jing Yi nodded in understanding and said, “Is that all? If that’s all, then open it.”
This time, Jing Yi’s voice was much calmer.
That’s true…
There was not much he could lose.
With a miserable life like his, death would not be a pity.
To put it bluntly, Jing Yi, who had suffered repeated blows, did not want to live anymore. When a person was not even afraid of death, what else could he fear!?
As for the potential catastrophic consequences for the outside world…
This is exactly what I, Jing Yi, wanted!
The Crimson Queen no longer tried to dissuade him.
With a faint buzzing sound, the gla.s.s that sealed the Source of Dreams was opened.
Then, Jing Yi faced the giant eyeball called the Source of Dreams and was speechless.
What was very strange was that Jing Yi, at this moment, did not perceive any danger when facing the Source of Dreams.
Originally, he thought that this bizarre thing would devour him in one gulp or shoot a deadly beam from that big eyeball to completely disintegrate him.
However, none of that happened.
The Source of Dreams just stared at Jing Yi, much as Jing Yi stared at it.
After a long time, Jing Yi heaved a sigh of relief and resolved to die.
“I’m releasing you, and I hope you can seek revenge for the Flame Clan and for me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Source of Dreams stirred…
“You’re from the Flame Clan?”
A powerful mental fluctuation surged from within the Source of Dreams and entered Jing Yi’s mind, clearly transmitting this message to him.
Jing Yi was slightly stunned and then nodded gently.
“I’m from the Flame Clan.”
“Then, according to the agreement between me and the Flame Emperor, the Pact of Flame’s Heart… 1 will bestow upon you, Sweet Dreams!”
“Wait, I don’t want sweet dreams, I want revenge!” Jing Yi quickly said. But he did not expect the Source of Dreams to ignore his feelings.
A grayish-black light suddenly burst forth from the eyeball and, with lightning speed, landed on Jing Yi.
In that instant, Jing Yi’s eyes suddenly became dazed…
He only felt his soul drifting, like an immortal.
A huge sense of pleasure instantly filled his body and soul!
He was flying… and suddenly, a door of light appeared before him.
From inside the door of light came the sound of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers, along with luxurious music.
This sound seemed to have a magical quality that heightened Jing Yi’s sense of comfort.
Without hesitation, he drifted towards the door until everything blurred.
When he refocused, he found himself standing in front of the gate of Flame City.
“This is…”
He was puzzled for a moment, but then he suddenly froze.
Inside and outside the city, people were bustling about, and upon closer inspection, he realized that they were all members of his own clan.
These Flame Clan members had satisfied smiles on their faces, the girls were elegantly dressed, and the boys were full of vitality.
A voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
“The celebration has begun!”
So, the people cheered and headed towards the city.
Jing Yi was pushed along by the crowd and quickly entered the unguarded city, where he could see streets adorned with lights and decorations, and people laughing and chatting.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Flame Festival. Today is the annual Flame Festival…”
Jing Yi did not know why he knew about the long-lost Flame Clan festival, and he did not want to dwell on the reasons.
The bliss in his soul almost destroyed Jingyi’s rationality. After brushing past a graceful girl and turning back to gaze at her, everything else became less important.
“My name is Yan Tong. What’s yours?”
“Me? My name is Jing Yi.”
After thinking for a moment, Jing Yi pointed to a nearby tall building and said, “I live over there.”
The girl covered her face and smiled, and seemed to have lit up Jing Yi’s entire world.
In the outside world.
It was clear that as soon as the gray light landed on Jing Yi, a blissful smile immediately appeared on his face.
That smile was so intense that it distorted what should have been a wonderful and happy expression of happiness, making it appear twisted and eerie.
An even more shocking scene happened in the next second.
Jing Yi’s body instantly melted, turning into a viscous green sticky liquid on the ground.
The viscous liquid further evaporated, becoming a faint green airflow that could not be observed with the naked eye.
A deep and genderless voice suddenly emanated from within the Source of Dreams—n.o.body knew where its vocal organs were hidden…
“Crimson.”
The Crimson Queen replied, “I’m here.”
“Transfer of authority. I need the highest authority in the research inst.i.tute.”
The Crimson Queen said, “According to the basic regulations…”
“According to the basic regulations, 1, as the last remaining bloodline of the Flame Clan, have the right to fully control everything here.”
The Crimson Queen said, “You’re just a monster.”
“A monster with the bloodline of the Flame Clan.”
The Crimson Queen was silent for a long time before speaking again, “The transfer of authority has been completed. I wish you good luck.”
With that said, the voice was extinguished and the huge research inst.i.tute fell into silence until eerie friction sounds and buzzing noises sounded one after another.
No one knew what had happened in this place.
In the outside world, the members of the Soro Exploration Team waited for about three hours until a white light suddenly flashed at the entrance of the distant cave…
Soro’s heart skipped a beat, and he was about to speak when he saw the light gate flash and quickly disappear.
“What’s going on?”
Soro was puzzled, and the others in the team also scratched their heads.
They could only pretend that nothing had happened.
However, with their Physique Realm strength, they could not see that during the brief flicker of the light gate, a faint green gas had drifted out from it, dispersing in all directions.
A portion of it fell near the seven members of Soro’s team.
With every breath the seven of them took, it slowly fused into their bodies..
