Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 281 The Origin and Past of the Strange Dream

Facing Li Zhi's fierce gaze, Yi Meng was extremely afraid and did not dare to deceive him. He lowered his head, with a look of helplessness and frustration in his eyes, and said, "I am the dream spirit of this dream..."

Dream spirit?

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

He knew that dream spirits were a kind of existence similar to weapon spirits. Before, Zeiss's Twelve Law Sword had also given birth to spiritual intelligence, but at that time, that intelligence had not yet formed a complete form like the strange dream before him.

Yi Meng continued, "I don't know how I was born. I only remember that when I was born, someone gave me an order to protect this place..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi quickly realized that this person was definitely not ordinary. He interrupted Yi Meng's words, stared at Yi Meng closely, and asked, "Who asked you to guard this place?"

Yi Meng shook his head slowly, a look of confusion on his face. He said, "I don't know either. In my memory, I don't have any information about this person's specific appearance or identity. Only his words are like a deep mark, as if engraved deep in my soul, which can never be erased."

Li Zhi frowned, but he could tell that Yi Meng was not lying to him, so he nodded slightly, signaling Yi Meng to continue.

Yi Meng then slowly told her own experience...

The dream that had just been born was like a piece of pure white paper at first, with a very pure heart. He always adhered to his mission, day after day, year after year, and conscientiously guarded this dream.

During that long period of time, his world was simple and peaceful, with only the unchanging dream scenes to accompany him.

However, as time passed, as Yi Meng's intelligence gradually matured, he began to have his own perception and thinking.

Gradually, he began to feel the boredom and monotony of life.

Driven by curiosity, he unexpectedly discovered that he had the ability to invade other people's dreams.

This discovery was like opening a door to a whole new world for him, causing ripples in his originally calm heart.

In order to kill time and satisfy his curiosity, he began to travel through colorful dreams full of various emotions and stories.

In this process, human emotions and desires were like surging tides, constantly impacting Yi Meng's originally pure inner world.

Gradually, he was affected by these complex emotions, and his heart was no longer as pure as before, but began to become complicated and elusive.

Until one day, as his thoughts were wandering, Yi Meng suddenly remembered the mysterious voice when he was born.

At that moment, a strong curiosity surged in his heart, and he began to wonder why that person wanted him to guard this place. Could it be that there was really some earth-shattering secret hidden here?

Once this idea took root in his mind, it grew wildly like weeds and was difficult to contain.

Therefore, Yi Meng decided to launch a large-scale exploration operation in this dream that he was very familiar with.

Finally, through his persistent and unremitting efforts, he discovered a secret that was enough to subvert his cognition.

It turned out that the dream he was guarding was not just an ordinary dream space, but a layer of illusion that existed to cover up a mysterious place.

There was a place on his own territory that he was completely unaware of. This was undoubtedly a huge shock to Yi Meng.

His strong curiosity was instantly ignited to the extreme, and he naturally would not let go of this mysterious place easily. Therefore, he went through untold hardships and finally successfully opened a passage leading to that mysterious place.

As he walked along the passage, he finally saw the Gate of God that had been on his mind ever since!

However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on him. As a dream spirit, he found that he was unable to open the Door of God even though he was very close.

For Yi Meng, this was undoubtedly like entering a treasure mountain full of treasures, but he could only return empty-handed. How could he easily accept this huge loss and unwillingness?

So, driven by a strong desire, he began to ponder, trying to find a solution.

He secretly wondered, since he could invade other people's dreams, could he also pull others here and use their power to open the Gate of God?

After Yi Meng's painstaking research day and night, he actually figured out a way to pull other people into this dream.

Since then, Yi Meng began to use this method to lure many mortals in. He treated those people in the same way as he treated Li Zhi before.

These people responded differently when faced with this sudden and strange dream.

Some people will be frightened and panic when they see the sky and earth changing color and the environment becoming strange, and will instinctively hide back in the wooden house. However, they don’t know that doing so will not protect themselves, and they will eventually be ruthlessly swallowed up by the strange dream.

Some people were able to muster up the courage and make their way to the bronze gate, but for various reasons, they were unable to open the bronze gate, and thus could not escape the tragic fate of being swallowed by the strange dream.

Yi Meng devoured the souls of these mortals to increase his own strength and intelligence bit by bit.

During this long period of time, he had never encountered a being as powerful as Li Zhi. Even in the dream world that he dominated, Li Zhi's power was superior to his, which made him feel extremely confused and shocked.

In the past, all the mortals who were lured into his dreams were easily devoured by him, but Li Zhi broke this routine, which made Yi Meng terrified, but he had no clue.

After Yi Meng finished telling all his experiences and secrets, he felt uneasy and looked at Li Zhi cautiously.

Li Zhi lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Yi Meng's heart was also in suspense, and worry surged into his heart like a tide. He didn't know how Li Zhi would deal with him.

After a moment, Li Zhi raised his head and glanced at Yi Meng. He had been quickly digesting the complex information that Yi Meng had said in his mind, trying to make a clear clue from it.

Li Zhi asked, "Besides you, is there any way for anyone else to get in here?"

Yi Meng quickly shook his head and said, "They all need my guidance to come in."

However, there was actually a trace of doubt in his heart, and he himself was not sure whether he was the one who took the initiative to pull Li Zhi in.

Because Li Zhi's arrival was too abrupt and did not follow his usual pattern of luring mortals into dreams, it was as if he was forcibly intervened in this dream by some unknown means.

Li Zhi nodded slightly, as if he had already made a decision in his mind. He said, "If that's the case, then it will be much easier."

As he spoke, Li Zhi glanced at the strange dream, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He murmured to himself: "I wonder if I can use magic in this dream?"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Yi Meng.
