An intense war was being fought between humans and blood demons. At first, there were still many people who didn't participate in the war. One of them was Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng wanted to wait for Ye Xiao to come before he would fight the war, however, even after waiting for a very long time, Ye Xiao never came.
And on the other hand, although the human army's momentum was much stronger and more intense than that of Blood Demons, it was also the truth that they were a lot less in number compared to Blood Demons.
Not only human warriors' numbers were less, but they were also weaker than Blood Demons. If not for the defensive formation, they would have been massacred by these damn demons.
As the war continued, humans soon realized that the defensive formation could no longer hold on. And when they realized this, it was already too late.
"Bang!"
Along with the sound of something shattering, the defensive formation shattered into countless fragments of light and soon dissipated in the air.
And it was at this time that Blood Demons became more ferocious and started attacking with all their might. Their momentum increased and along with it skyrocket their ferocity. All the Blood Demons were like a huge beast horde as they pushed toward the city wall, wanting to break it into pieces and destroy the city.
Even the leader of Blood Demons, Mo Yan, jumped into battle and started facing Gu Zheng, for Gu Zheng was fighting not far away from the city wall and could be proved to be a dangerous and impenetrable barrier if he is not taken care of.
Mo Yan, along with a few more Ancient God-levelled Blood Demons faced Go Zheng, pressuring him to a degree where Gu Zheng could no longer put up a fight and was being constantly pushed back. He suffered too many injuries and didn't know what step to take next.
He closed his eyes and muttered: "Senior Ye, where are you?"
"Bang!"
And it was at this time that a loud explosion resounded throughout the space and caused the ground to shake heavily, sending flying countless Blood Demons back.
Strangely, before this explosion could affect human armies, they disappeared suddenly.
"What happened?"
Gu Zheng was shocked, opened his eyes, and turned to the city wall to take a look at what happened just now. The moment turned his head, his eyes opened wide with shock. Then his expression turned happy and he started laughing like a maniac suddenly.
It is because the one he was waiting for appeared.
Yes, Ye Xiao appeared!
.....
Tens of minutes ago, inside the forest...
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and took a deep breath. His injuries were finally healed completely. It has taken him a lot of time to recover. It is all because he was here not with his true body.
Ye Xiao was here with his soul only. But strangely, he gained another body upon arriving here that looked the same as his real body.
This is the Realm of Dreams. Nothing here is real, and at the same time, everything is real.
No one could explain the situation here, because this place exists between reality and nothingness.
The situation here occurs because the Realm of Dreams wants to test you.
It means the city, Blood Demons, humans, and even trees and animals in the Realm of Dreams are all fake. They don't exist.
However, the moment Ye Xiao appeared, all these appeared. And the reason is the Realm of Dreams itself.
It gave Ye Xiao an injured body and the memories that the injured body lived. But the injured body was never real. It appeared because of the test Ye Xiao was going to give here. He has to contribute here.
Ye Xiao has no idea how he has to contribute, but he guessed he has to deal with all the Blood Demons in order to contribute.
The more he will contribute, the more valuable reward he'll obtain in the end. And when he will leave the Realm of Dreams, all the humans, blood demons, and everything else, even Ye Xiao's experience in the Realm of Dreams will disappear.
The only thing that will remain would be the reward given by the Realm of Dreams and obtained by Ye Xiao.
There are two ways to end the test and wake up in his real body back in the Homeground of Primordials.
First, if he dies somehow in the Realm of Dreams, he'll wake up in his real body. And the second, if the Realm of Dreams thinks that the test is completed by Ye Xiao, it'll send Ye Xiao back itself.
After waking up, Ye Xiao was to go to the city and deal with the Blood Demons.
And thus, he hurriedly left and arrived at the city. But when he arrived, he was shocked to see the bloody scene here. An intense war was being found, people were killing demons and demons were killing people.
When he looked at the city gate, Ye Xiao felt as if he could not let these Blood Demons enter the city. This thought appeared in his mind out of nowhere. It is as if this is his first mission to complete in the Realm of Dreams.
Seeing that the barrier was broken and the blood demons were about to break the city gate, and enter the city, Ye Xiao immediately took action. He disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in the air above the city gate, before suddenly descending.
The previous explosion was the cause of Ye Xiao's descent to the ground from the air at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye.
.....
Ye Xiao looked at the Blood Demons in front of him and instinctively felt a lot of hatred for them. It was as if these Blood Demons were his arch-enemy and he has to kill them, in fact, completely wipe out them no matter what.
Ye Xiao hurriedly hold off his emotions and suppressed them. The Realm of Dreams was affecting his mind and emotions deeply. He has to control his emotions no matter what.
Ye Xiao thus took a deep breath and muttered: "I know you could hear me. Don't affect me in any way. Since you have already given me the task to complete, leave everything to me to deal with."
Ye Xiao was actually trying to say these words to the Realm of Dreams and wanted to see if he could contact it or not.
Since the Realm of Dreams could give out missions, take people's tests, and give them rewards, then it must have gained intelligence and become sentience. If so, then the Realm of Dreams could definitely hear him.
After he requested, he didn't hear any words from the Realm of Dreams. But a strange feeling appeared in his heart and he felt very strange. Ye Xiao frowned and his expression distorted slightly before everything returned to normal.
Now, there was a shocked expression on Ye Xiao's face.
It is because, although the Realm of Dreams didn't answer him, a strange thought appeared in his mind. It was from the Realm of Dreams and this thought told him that he should control his emotion on his own and not request it to not affect him. It is also a kind of test he has to go through!
Ye Xiao again took a deep breath. He no longer spoke to the Realm of Dreams.
Looking at the Blood Demons, a thought appeared in Ye Xiao's mind that excites him a lot.
Although he was not here with his body, his soul was here. It means, he should be able to use his ability to destroy souls!
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Xiao frowned the next moment. It is because nothing here is real. If so, it means Blood Demons are just the creation of the Realm of Dreams. They are not real and they don't have souls. If so, he could not use the "Soul Destruction" ability to destroy their souls.
"But... Nothing here is real, but everything is real at the same time." Ye Xiao muttered and thought deeply about this sentence. Finally, he came to a decision.
As long as he is here, everything here is real. And when he'll be gone, everything will disappear, because nothing was real to begin with.
It is complicated to understand.
In simple words, as long as he is here, all the humans and blood demons do exist. Since that's the case, they are also alive and they have souls.
And his Soul Destruction ability will definitely work here as well.
"Let's test it out!" Ye Xiao muttered and looked at the Blood Demons who have stopped attacking him and were looking at him with shock, fear, anger, hatred, and other kinds of emotions in their eyes.
They seemed to want to kill him immediately, but they knows that they are not Ye Xiao's match. If someone could fight Ye Xiao, it is their leader and other Ancient Demons who are grouping on Gu Zheng and Zhao Kuang, the two Ancient Gods among the human army protecting this city.
