Having left the dream world, Li Xingkong returned to the universe once again. This time, without the interference of the dream, Li Xingkong quickly saw Pingyi from the dream world.

Not far from the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds, a wrecked spaceship floated alone in the void.

Li Xingkong extended his Divine Sense to investigate the past.

The spaceship had been there for an unknown amount of time; its entire hull was brittle, and amidst the ever-changing rules, it was being crumpled into various shapes like a piece of paper.

However, inside the spaceship, several compartments are still functioning, using their meager protective capabilities to resist the corrosive effects of the surrounding environment.

The abandoned compartments of the spaceship were empty, or rather, they should have been occupied, but now all traces of people had turned to ashes; too much time had passed.

Li Xingkong searched the entire spaceship and found that only the life support module at the very core was still functioning. Inside the life support module, a woman lay quietly. The low temperature of the life support module temporarily froze her body while maintaining her basic physiological needs.

But this life support capsule wouldn't last much longer, as it had already been damaged.

Perhaps because the woman's own body also possessed a certain strength, the chaotic rules that surged in from the damaged life support pod entrance one second to tear open wounds in her body, and the next second, her self-healing ability restored those wounds.

It must hurt, after all, she's just in a deep sleep, not dead.

Li Xingkong extended a giant Magic Power hand and peeled the spaceship apart. Then, he dragged out the small life support pod and pulled it near the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds.

Upon closer inspection, the woman sleeping in the spaceship was somewhat different from the Divine Land People. Her skin was pale silver, and she had decorative bone spurs and horns on her body. However, compared to other aliens of various shapes and sizes, she looked more like a human.

Li Xingkong did not find the so-called Poison of Corruption in her body. Perhaps it was because of their different constitutions. Li Xingkong's investigation showed that apart from being disturbed by the chaotic rules within the World Wall, she had no other external interference.

"Wow, it's a new, living person, buddy. Should we wake her up?"

Guapilong recovered, though he didn't know what had happened. Rose and that wicked woman had both vanished without a trace, and he was back on the ship.

But when it saw the life support pod being towed over outside the window, its instinctive thought was still to save people.

"No."

Li Xingkong shook his head.

Although he had already found the goddess he was dreaming of, and although she had been dragged here by Li Xingkong, he could heal her and wake her up in the next moment if Li Xingkong.

But that won't work.

Li Xingkong wasn't trying to save her.

Or rather, she wasn't Li Xingkong's first priority for saving.

Once she wakes up, her entire dream world will vanish, and everything in the dream will return to nothingness.

Saving her is no different from destroying that world with my own hands.

Although the figures in the dream seem to have never lived, and there is no question of destruction, this interpretation only applies to the period before Li Xingkong came into contact with them.

This goddess slept for too long.

The entire dream world has developed its own logic and rules; even every life form in the dream has its own joys and sorrows.

Before saving her, he had to rescue the person in his dream first.

This idea seems quite absurd; how can someone in a dream be brought into reality?

Li Xingkong had no clue.

"I see she's injured. Could you treat her first?"

Guapilong pressed his face against the window, staring intently at the woman inside the life support pod.

Li Xingkong neither took her out of the life support capsule nor let her onto the ship.

If any action were to disturb her and shatter her dream, then his rescue plan would be rendered meaningless.

First, Li Xingkong connected the life support capsule's energy supply to the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds, and then repaired the damaged parts of the life support capsule. After confirming that she was not moving, he began a new operation.

I entered the dream world unintentionally because I was drawn in by her spiritual power, but now I have to actively enter her dream.

"Dude, where's Rose? Where did that shrew go? Did you leave them behind?"

After recovering, Guapilong asked.

"I'm on my way to rescue them, do you want to come?"

Since it was a dream, Li Xingkong became a little bolder. Guapilong had his own protection, so naturally nothing would happen to him in the dream.

"Come on, of course I'll come! How could I, Guapilong, be absent from saving lives?"

Guapi immediately patted his chest and said.

"Okay, let's go then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xingkong cast a small spell, and Guapi collapsed into his chair as if he hadn't slept for days.

Li Xingkong himself, after taking a step, fell silent.

My consciousness has once again Traversal into the world of my dream.

The world in the dream was still the same world, but when Li Xingkong came to this dream again, the lair where Ajieta was was not as quiet as when Li Xingkong left.

A giant golden shadow and a massive black creature were locked in battle in the sky, while on the ground, Ajieta, slumped over, was clearly badly injured, and beside her, Lanluote was also on the verge of death.

"No, what's going on?"

Li Xingkong lifted his foot, and the next moment, he appeared beside Ajieta. With a simple healing spell, all the wounds on her body disappeared.

"They only left a little while ago, how did it turn out like this?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because the prophet was taken away that the prophet's destined power was stripped away, causing him to transform into a black dragon prematurely..."

Ajieta looked up at the two dragons entangled in the sky, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

" Black Dragon was once a member of the dragon-slaying team. Fifty years ago, when the black dragon ravaged the land, we embarked on a journey together to defeat it. Unfortunately, human strength has its limits, and fate is insurmountable. In the end, it was only through Geraint and me transforming into dragons that we were able to suppress the black dragon."

"But from that moment on, his heart changed. If he couldn't protect the world as a human, then he would become a dragon."

"It is precisely because his ambition is even capable of controlling the Poison of Corruption that he is the only one destined to be the Black Dragon."

Li Xingkong could understand Ajieta's feelings quite well. After all, his former opponent had become the enemy he had defeated time and time again in the Samsara. How could this not be a kind of tragedy?

"Luckily, you didn't arrive too late, otherwise, we'd have to meet again in the next Samsara."

Ajieta chuckled, and the energy within her became unstable.

Li Xingkong then noticed that the energy emanating from her body accounted for less than 20% of the total energy, while the remaining 80% was all fused into the blue gemstone that the ancient person had transformed into, used to maintain the seal.

To destroy the black dragon, she would have to abandon the seal and allow the Poison of Corruption to flow in. However, to maintain the seal, with her and the golden dragon's skills, it would indeed be difficult to contend with the black dragon in its prime.

No wonder...

Li Xingkong's arrival truly relieved her. This cycle of Samsara progressed too quickly, leaving no time for Lanluote to gain experience. With one less powerful combat force, Ajieta and the others were clearly at a disadvantage.
