Dream Guide

As soon as Huang Liang and Hong Kui set foot on that heavenly road, they felt that the whole world had disappeared.

The Denali Snow Mountains are gone, the sky is gone, and the earth is gone. No snow, no clouds, nothing. The only thing left in the world is the sky road and the piece of ice in the distance. They didn't know how long they had been walking, and time seemed to have lost its meaning here.

This reminded Huang Liang of the dream passage he used to communicate with Howard and later trapped Aoki.

When they came to the end of the heavenly road, Huang Liang saw the huge iceberg hanging upside down above his head. It takes up the entire sky. The sun, moon, stars and clouds are all frozen inside, but they run smoothly and shine with their own brilliance.

Hong Kui knelt down on the ground and muttered something to the iceberg above his head. He didn't know what he was praying for. After praying, he stood up and reached out to touch the tip of the iceberg.

Huang Liang saw his hands trembling. The boy from the Wolf family, who had always been stable, rarely showed such excitement. It’s a dream, that’s probably it.

Hong Kui's hand touched the ice, and a dazzling light suddenly emitted from the ice.

Huang Liang felt hot at first, like warming himself by a stove.

The entire iceberg is starting to melt.

Then Huang Liang felt cold again.

The coldness brought by the melting ice and snow goes straight to the bone marrow.

He tried to use his mental strength to resist, and then he felt a little better. He saw Hong Kui's body shaking violently, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold on anymore, but he didn't know whether he should help him. After all, it was his family's business, and it was something he dreamed of. If touching the iceberg is some kind of ritual, then if he goes up to help, will it destroy this ritual?

Hong Kui's body was shaking more and more violently, his face turned livid, and his eyes were as wide as two bells. It was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength, as if the weight of the entire iceberg was pressing on him.

Huang Liang couldn't care so much anymore, and hurriedly took a step forward, stretching out his hands to hold the iceberg, hoping to help Hong Kui share some of his strength. But before his fingertips completely touched the tip of the iceberg, a huge force came from the ice, passing from his fingertips to his palms, his wrist bones, his arms, and his shoulders. , to his heart. He was knocked away like a kite with its string broken, and his body was almost smashed to pieces. He felt that his bones and internal organs had cracked, but what was even worse was the bone-chilling cold.

He quickly concentrated his thoughts and used all his mental power to protect his body and drive away the cold. It took a while before his mind stabilized.

Only then did he realize that Hong Kui's mental power was much stronger than he imagined. When the two of them combined their dreams before, he thought that they had about the same mental power so that they could have the same dream. In fact, it was precisely because Hong Kui was so powerful that he was able to correct his dream.

Huang Liang had just recovered and wanted to stand up. Suddenly everything went dark, and a roar like rolling thunder was heard in his ears.

The iceberg suddenly broke apart and the whole world collapsed.

Huang Liang thought they were finished. Because he tried to escape but failed.

He didn't know what kind of world the iceberg world they reached through the Heavenly Road was? If this were a dream, they would fall into nothingness. Just like in a dream, if the space collapses and the conscious body does not leave the dream in time, it will be trapped in boundless nothingness. It is said that it is the most terrifying situation, more terrifying than death, because the void is not the dark void in the universe. Not even void nor darkness exists there. That is true nothingness, nothing but your consciousness.

But if this is not a dream but reality, it would be even more terrifying. How could the real world collapse? What will happen after the collapse? Will it collapse into a black hole or become a singularity in the universe? In short, the body can no longer exist, and even consciousness should disappear.

However, the reality was not what he thought. He's not gone, he's still standing here, and the world around him is back. He saw himself standing on the frozen ground, just like he had stood on the Haldin Icefield, surrounded by endless glaciers.

Hong Kui was lying on the snow not far from him, having passed out.

He held a crystal clear ice pick in his hand.

Huang Liang quickly ran over and helped Hong Kui up. Hong Kui's body was cold, but fortunately he was still breathing weakly.

He began to use his own mental power to help Hong Kui drive away the coldness in his mind and restore his brain consciousness.

After a while, Hong Kui slowly woke up. He smiled at Huang Liang, raised the piece of ice in his hand and said, "I got it."

Huang Liang then took a closer look at the ice pick. It is very similar to the ice ridges hanging from the eaves, but not as rough and textured as the ice ridges. It's smooth, smoother than a mirror. The surrounding scenery is reflected in it.

"Is this the mountain just now?" Huang Liang asked with emotion.

"Really?!" Hong Kui said, "Do you want to see it?"

He handed the ice pick to Huang Liang.

Huang Liang took it and felt a biting coldness in his palm, which he almost couldn't bear. But he didn't let go, because he saw from the ice pick again all the things it had reflected:

The sun, moon, stars, primeval forests and busy people in the forests, as well as mysterious altars, desolate ice fields and towering snow-capped mountains, are all arranged layer by layer in small ice cones. When your consciousness thinks When you want to look at that layer, the scenery on that layer will become clear before your eyes.

"This is so amazing!" Huang Liang said, "This thing can freeze time! If historians and archaeologists knew that there was such a thing, they would definitely go crazy!"

"Anyone would go crazy," Hongkui said.

"But it will freeze them into ice cubes." Huang Liang said with a smile, feeling the icy coldness.

Hong Kui also laughed.

"Does it have a name?" Huang Liang asked.

"It is the cleanest thing in the world, the soul of all things solidified in ice." Hong Kui said, "My ancestors called it the 'soul of ice.'"

"Ice Soul!" Huang Liang thought this name was very good. "Then what should we do now? Go back?"

"No, this is just the key to the Holy Land." Hong Kui said, "We continue to move forward, the Holy Land must not be far away."

Huang Liang said: "You are too weak now, you have to find a place to rest." He glanced at the endless glaciers, "But where are we now?"

Hong Kui took out a compass from his body, spread it on the palm of his hand and tried it in all four directions. The pointer became erratic. He put the compass up and tried it again, and said: "It is said that there is a mysterious passage between Alaska and Queen Elizabeth Island in the north. I think we have passed that passage, and now, our location is at the North Magnetic Pole. near the extreme."

"What?!"

Huang Liang felt a little incredible. Although Alaska is far north, it is still far away from the Queen Elizabeth Islands, especially Denali, which is still in the south-central region of Alaska.

He looked up at the sky to see the direction of the sun. But his body suddenly became as stiff as stone.

"Do you really think we are still on the earth?" Huang Liang said, "How come there are nine suns on the earth?"
