Chapter 1170: The “Good Future” and the “Bad Future”
“Listen, listen to me. I am not your enemy, but a friend from afar. I have no ill intentions, but I want to save everyone, including the rat people, just like you, so that the incomparably beautiful tomorrow in your dream can really become a reality!”
Meng Chao sent a strong spirit fluctuation to the Ancient Dream Saintess’ furious subconscious.
In response, the other party opened her b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and shot out a scarlet and pale storm at him. The storm was made up of densely-packed skeleton rats that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws!
The thousands of skeleton rats instantly drowned Meng Chao.
They were like piranhas that were crazily gnawing at his body.
Although people did not really die in the dream world.
Even the flesh and blood that had been devoured by the skeleton rats would grow back in the blink of an eye.
However, the pain of having his bone marrow sucked dry really stimulated Meng Chao’s central nervous system and cerebral cortex. It made him feel as if someone had cut open the top of his head in reality, he poured a ladle of boiling oil into it.
Before Meng Chao could peel off all the rats that had swarmed over.
A strange hand that blotted out the sky and covered the earth slapped onto his head.
This nightmare world was completely dominated by the ancient Dream Saintess.
In the nightmare, she transformed into an indomitable G.o.d and devil. With just one hand, she tightly grabbed Meng Chao, who was entangled by the skeleton rats, and lifted him into the air.
Meng Chao was squeezed out of his soul by her.
He heard every bone in his body scream.
Hundreds and thousands of golden stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he felt as if his alveoli were bursting.
He couldn’t help but open his mouth to breathe. The skeleton rats that were stained with blood followed the ancient Dream Saintess’arms, which were like bridges and pillars, and crawled in front of him, trying to get into his mouth.
Meng Chao felt that his soul fire was about to be extinguished.
He could only extract a clearer picture of the Apocalypse from the deepest part of the memory database.
He threw it at the ancient Dream Saintess.
The violent information flow turned into thousands of burning meteorites.
It was like a meteor shower falling from the sky, repeating the scene of the end of the world in the ancient Dream Saintess’dream.
This time, it was the ancient Dream Saintess’turn to scream in disbelief.
In the nightmare, her towering figure, which looked like a statue of a G.o.d and a devil, was riddled with holes by the meteor shower.
The tide of skeletons and rats that swept across the sky and the Earth were also turned into a boundless sea of fire under the burning flames.
Meng Chao finally broke free from the ancient Dream Saintess’control.
With the help of the apocalyptic flames, he began to fight for the control of this dream.
“How is this possible?”
The ancient Dream Saintess’towering body began to collapse.
This meant that she began to doubt her subconscious and the belief that had persisted until today.
She looked at the raging apocalyptic flames in the depths of the dream with an incredulous gaze and muttered, “Who exactly are you? Why did you sneak into My Dream? What kind of power is this? !”
“I’ve said it before. I’m a friend from afar. and strictly speaking, I didn’t sneak into your dream. It was you who snuck into my dream!”
Meng Chao took a deep breath and tried his best to ensure that his brainwaves were calm enough to not stimulate the ancient Dream Saintess’subconscious again, “As for what you saw, the flames that can destroy everything, you can treat it as another possibility in the future, just like the ‘prophecy’that lurks in the depths of your brain!”
“What!”
The four pupils of the ancient Dream Saintess constricted at the same time.
At the same time, they spurted out a sharp light.
This was the most important secret, the instinctive reaction of someone who had seen through it.
“I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t have probed into the secret hidden in the deepest part of your brain, but if you really care about the survival of the Great Horn Army, the lives of millions of rats, and the future of this world, you should control your anger a little and listen to my explanation. Since you can sense things for an infinite amount of time in the dream, at least give me a few seconds to explain!”
Meng Chao was afraid that the ancient Dream Saintess would attack him again, so he said quickly, “Do you want to know how I snuck into the deepest part of your brain and read those memories?
“You have to know that you are the ancient Dream Saintess, a spiritual expert, a great dream maker and manipulator, and the spokesperson of the Big Horn Rat G.o.d in Tulanze. Your spiritual defense should be extremely strong. How can it be easily infiltrated by others as if no one was there?”
This question had indeed piqued the ancient Dream Saintess’interest.
Although the flames of doomsday that were spewing out from Meng Chao’s subconscious gradually extinguished, the ancient Dream Saintess’interest was piqued.
Some of the skeleton rats had escaped the ending of being turned into ashes.
However, the ancient Dream Saintess did not control these skeleton rats and attacked Meng Chao once again.
She stared at Meng Chao and started to think deeply in the dream.
“The answer is simple, because I’m not the first person to infiltrate the depths of your brain. Before me, someone had already infiltrated your brain. I don’t know how many times!”
Meng Chao unleashed his ultimate move, “Your brain is like a treasure vault that has been opened by someone. No matter how strong the walls on the surface of the treasure vault are, how thick the doors are, how tight the security is, or how precise and ingenious the lock-picking method is, as long as I can find the secret pa.s.sage left behind by my predecessors, I can naturally whistle and put my hands in my pockets to easily enter the interior of the Treasure Vault!”
The ancient Dream Saintess shrieked again.
The white bone armor on her body grew dense spikes.
The exhausted Skeleton Rats became restless again. They bared their teeth at Meng Chao and let out bone-chilling shrieks.
This was a sign that the ancient Dream Saintess’subconscious mind was very resistant to Meng Chao’s words and did not want to think about it.
Meng Chao knew very well how difficult it was to make a stubborn person realize the bleak reality.
Many times, the truth was like a sharp blade that would cut a person’s heart and make it bleed.
However, in order to awaken the ancient Dream Saintess, Meng Chao was still willing to take the risk and stake everything.
After all, he had no other choice!
“Do you know who that person is — The Rat G.o.d!”
Meng Chao took a deep breath and continued, “The Horned Rat G.o.d has appeared in your dreams countless times, giving you all kinds of ‘prophecies’and ‘Revelations’, telling you the location of the Lost Temple and how to open it, helping you find an underground base that can support tens of thousands of elite soldiers, teaching you how to strengthen your ability to manipulate dreams, and also teaching you the skills to fight on the battlefield and command troops. Am I right?”
The ancient Dream Saintess was slightly stunned.
She had received the ‘divine revelation’countless times in her dreams.
This was something that the entire great horn army, including millions of rats, knew.
It was even something that she and the priests of the Great Horn Army had deliberately publicized.
She believed it without a doubt, and of course, she would not deny it.
“But, ancient Dream Saintess, have you ever thought that there is no great horn rat G.o.d that sneaks into the depths of your brain and instills all kinds of information into you? It is not an ancestral spirit or G.o.d, but a schemer with ulterior motives, a puppeteer who uses you and all the rats as Chess Pieces, and a devil who is about to destroy the Great Horn Army and you!”Meng Chao revealed his trump card.
The bone spikes all over Saintess Gu Meng’s body grew longer and longer, turning into sharp blades that could cut hair.
The white bone helmet on her head seemed to have a strange life of its own. It kept growing and gradually covered both her eyes and ears like a giant egg made of white bone.
This symbolized that Saintess Gu Meng was sealing her soul. subconsciously, she could not accept Meng Chao’s blasphemous words and was unwilling to have any doubts about her beliefs.
However, Meng Chao was not willing to give up halfway.
He gritted his teeth, he threw down the medicine. “Ancient Dream Saintess, I know that you can hear my voice, and I believe that you have not completely become a puppet that is at the mercy of others. For the future of the great horn army and the entire rat population, you are still willing to think and fight!
“If that is really the case, I hope that you can recall it carefully. In your childhood memories, when your hometown was attacked by the plague, everyone died except for you. When you were on the verge of death, you encountered the arrival of the great horn rat G.o.d. Then, the Great Horn Rat G.o.d gave you a lot of ‘revelations’and showed you a lot of visions of the future, right?
“Can you tell me what kind of future you saw when you were a child?”
This should be a very simple question.
It was so simple that Meng Chao and the ancient Dream Saintess both knew the answer.
However, the ancient Dream Saintess seemed to be trapped by an invisible net.
She was completely covered by the helmet and had no facial features. Her eggsh.e.l.l-like face was also filled with confusion and uncertainty.
Meng Chao laughed.
“Let me guess. You saw two completely different futures at the same time. In the ‘Good Future’, all the rat people were saved and built Turanze into an incomparably beautiful tomorrow. In the ‘Bad Future’, everyone, including the rat people, and even the entire world, were completely destroyed by the flames of the Apocalypse!
“Of course, this ‘Bad Future’is a memory that I’ve just implanted into the depths of your brain. It’s a memory that doesn’t exist at all.
“Right now, I don’t have any proof that the ‘Bad Future’will definitely happen. In fact, I don’t want it to become a reality more than anyone else.
“What I need you to seriously consider is that since I can implant a ‘bad future’into the depths of your brain, you’ll mistakenly think that it’s a part of your childhood memory.
“How do you know that the ‘good future’must be a ‘divine revelation’that you received when you were a child, and not a fake memory that was implanted recently?”
