He and Dream Emperor were strangers.
Logically, there should be no Karma between them.
But he always had a strange sense of familiarity.
This feeling was very peculiar.
As Jun Xiaoyao looked at Dream Emperor.
Dream Emperor's gaze was also fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.
This even caused a hint of surprise in Little Demon Queen's flower-like eyes.
In her eyes, her master, Dream Emperor, seemed to always have the same expression and showed no interest in anything.
But now, with Jun Xiaoyao's arrival.
Dream Emperor seemed quite interested in him.
Before, it was Dream Emperor who had instructed her to go to Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Although she was curious about what Karma existed between Dream Emperor and Jun Xiaoyao.
Little Demon Queen could not actively inquire.
After a period of silence.
Dream Emperor opened her lips and said.
"You all may withdraw first, I wish to speak with him alone."
Dream Emperor's voice was clear and ethereal, giving the impression of a gentle echo from a dream.
"Yes…"
Little Demon Queen pulled Yan Rumeng and temporarily retreated.
Within the hall, only Jun Xiaoyao and Dream Emperor remained.
Although Dream Emperor did not exude any pressure.
As the number one ruthless person in Nine Heavens.
Anyone standing before her would likely feel pressure.
Even Great Emperors were no exception.
But Jun Xiaoyao stood tall and straight, a gentle and polite smile on his face.
Neither servile nor overbearing, he was poised and composed.
"I imagine you have many questions in your mind, do you not?" Dream Emperor said.
"Indeed, I hope Senior Dream Emperor can enlighten me," Jun Xiaoyao replied.
Dream Emperor did not say much more.
She slowly raised her jade-like hand.
The next moment.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly focused.
Because, in Dream Emperor's hand, a ghost face mask appeared!
Then, Dream Emperor slowly placed the ghost face mask on her face.
In an instant!
Throughout the entire hall, star rivers flowed, and Yin and Yang shifted!
Vaguely, it seemed as if the Ghost Face Empress herself had truly arrived!
"This… you are…"
Jun Xiaoyao's pupils subtly trembled.
No wonder Dream Emperor didn't waste words explaining anything.
A ghost face mask was enough to explain everything!
"I have been waiting for someone, a figure who often appears in my dreams."
"At first, I thought it was just a dream, until I discovered you."
"I really want to know, who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Dream Emperor looked directly at Jun Xiaoyao, as if wanting to see into the depths of his Soul.
And Jun Xiaoyao still maintained his previous statement.
"I am who I am, Jun Xiaoyao."
"Is that so?" Dream Emperor said nothing.
At first, Jun Xiaoyao almost thought that Dream Emperor was the legendary Ghost Face Empress.
But now it seemed not to be the case.
She should be related by Karma to the Ghost Face Empress, much like Ghost-Masked Female Burial Emperor and Mother of the Other Shore Flower.
Perhaps she was another incarnation of the Ghost Face Empress, it was uncertain.
However, if that were truly the case, then the Ghost Face Empress was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
Even one of her incarnations could become a forbidden zone in Nine Heavens.
"By the way, that shell, it didn't do anything to you, did it?" Dream Emperor suddenly asked.
"Shell?"
Jun Xiaoyao was taken aback.
Then he suddenly understood.
The shell Dream Emperor referred to was Zhuang Xiaomeng, who was the true original form of the Forgotten Country, that ancient Immortal Mirage!
"Senior Dream Emperor, so it was you…"
Jun Xiaoyao finally understood.
Why Zhuang Xiaomeng seemed to take special care of him.
Jun Xiaoyao initially thought it was simply because his charm was too high, capable of attracting the favor of females.
Now it seemed, Dream Emperor's reason was also involved.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Zhuang Xiaomeng and Dream Emperor both Cultivate the Dao of Dreams.
However, from this perspective, Dream Emperor's strength should be even more unfathomable.
No wonder she made other forbidden zones wary.
"There has always been a voice in my mind telling me that I have a mission."
"Which is to meet you, and protect you."
"I never imagined that an existence like me would also be bound by such Karma."
Dream Emperor said, her eyes glowing faintly.
Jun Xiaoyao slightly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for Senior Dream Emperor's care, but if Senior Dream Emperor has difficulties of her own."
"Then Jun will never trouble Dream Emperor; I can withstand the coming turmoil alone."
Jun Xiaoyao's attitude was very proper.
His tone was very serious.
He was not the type of person who habitually relied on others.
Even the Divine Spirit Dharma Body was his own possession.
Although he was not certain whether Dream Emperor was an incarnation of the Ghost Face Empress.
But whether she was or not, Jun Xiaoyao was not so shameless as to beg Dream Emperor to protect him.
He didn't need Dream Emperor's protection either.
"Can you withstand any turmoil? Do you know how terrifying the coming chaos will be?"
"The five Chief Priests will cleanse the Immortal Domain with blood."
"And the old beings from other forbidden zones will not miss this opportunity either."
"Not to mention that the Immortal Domain now doesn't seem to be a unified entity, does it?"
"Under such circumstances, do you still have the ability to turn the tide?"
Dream Emperor said.
Throughout such a long period of time, she had probably spoken this much for the first time.
Jun Xiaoyao's face still bore a polite smile.
"There is an idiom that says, 'man can conquer nature'."
"People are also divided into strong and weak."
"For the weak, these words are merely futile comfort."
"But for true powerhouses, it is an eternal belief."
"I believe that the chaos will be completely ended in my hands."
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back.
There was a light in his eyes.
Youthful spirit.
This was Jun Xiaoyao's unique confidence.
Looking at Jun Xiaoyao at this moment, Dream Emperor was momentarily stunned.
She removed the ghost face mask from her face, her eyes glowing faintly.
"You might be very curious about my origin, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao hesitated slightly, but then nodded.
Dream Emperor then said softly.
"Long, long ago, there was a woman who was always searching for someone."
"She journeyed through countless lives and through the Reincarnation of all things, but she could not find that person."
"Later, she occasionally encountered a shell, and she was inspired."
"Perhaps by immersing herself in a dream, she could find them."
"So, in that life, the woman remained immersed in a dream, searching."
"Finally, she thought she had found them."
"But the result was merely an illusion in a dream."
"The dream awoke at that moment; she felt forlorn and wanted to shed that life, to emerge like a butterfly from its cocoon."
"But she left behind a shell, a shell eternally immersed in dreams."
Dream Emperor stopped speaking here.
Jun Xiaoyao understood everything.
The Ghost Face Empress encountered the ancient Immortal Mirage.
A flash of inspiration led her to the method of entering the Dao through dreams.
But in the end, it was still futile; she could not find the person she sought.
So she departed.
A lifetime of Cultivation, the powerful Dao of Dreams, finally transformed into a terrifyingly powerful existence, which was Dream Emperor.
In a sense, it was similar to the Mother of the Other Shore Flower.
And Jun Xiaoyao thought.
The reason the Ghost Face Empress condensed an incarnation into Dream Emperor.
Was probably because she foresaw the epic turmoil that might occur in the future.
So she wanted to leave a fallback to help herself.
After all, the Ghost Face Empress had helped him more than once or twice before.
Jun Xiaoyao had lost count.
However, thinking of this, and looking at the incomparably beautiful and ethereal Dream Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao still sighed inwardly.
Although Dream Emperor was a shadow of the Ghost Face Empress.
For Dream Emperor herself, to be eternally solitary in the Dream Illusionary Empty World, awaiting the arrival of chaos.
This was also a kind of eternal desolation.
