Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 319 - 274 Sleeping Dream Cliff

The sky gradually darkened, and school had let out.

Students streamed out of the classrooms, their faces adorned with smiles.

However, many of them knew Wu Hen, and when they saw the expelled Wu Hen sitting on the steps at the school gate, quite a few of them spoke in a teasing tone.

Wu Hen looked at these innocent high school students and couldn’t help but sneer.

"You won’t evolve, to me you’re like frogs in a well watching the moon; if you evolve, to me you’ll be like ants seeing the sky!"

"Wu Hen, are you waiting for Yang Qin to finish school?"

"Have you two established a relationship?"

A few girls from other classes also knew Wu Hen and started teasing him when they saw him.

Wu Hen was puzzled, why would these girls think that way?

It seemed like when he went to his own classroom in the morning, there were also some who cheered.

"Wait a minute, when I dropped out yesterday, did something different happen?" Wu Hen immediately stopped a few girls from the other classes who were making a fuss.

"Ah, yesterday when you dropped out, didn’t Yang Qin bid you farewell in front of the whole school on the playground? We all thought you two were together!" said the girl from the neighboring class.

Wu Hen frowned.

Before this dream day, he had indeed just dropped out.

But when he dropped out, only the homeroom teacher and he had talked for a bit, Yang Qin didn’t come to see him off.

Why did Yang Qin do that in the dream?

...

As the night grew darker, Wu Hen’s time in this dream realm was almost up.

Wang Rui, Yang Qin, Tian Jia Bao, and Luo Yuying were late in returning.

Tian Jia Bao had found her Ancient Dream Demon, who turned out to be her next-door neighbor, definitely not Li Feng.

Neither Luo Yuying nor Yang Qin had found their Ancient Dream Demons, and they were frantic, the people around them grew increasingly malicious toward them, and what bizarre and terrifying things might happen in the dream at night was hard to say, after all, they were all in a waking state in this dream.

"Why don’t we search again, there must be something missing," Wang Rui said.

"No need," Wu Hen interjected.

Yu Yu, standing aside, turned her gaze to Wu Hen, wanting to know if he could lead his classmates out of the dream realm.

"Why not? The three of you found your Ancient Dream Demons, what about the two of us, are we going to be trapped in this dream?" Luo Yuying said anxiously.

"Among the five of us, one is the Ancient Dream Demon," Wu Hen said.

"Huh?" The others looked at each other, trying to spot any inconsistencies in each other’s eyes and expressions.

"Since the three of us have found ours, it proves we’re not the Ancient Dream Demons, so between Luo Yuying and Yang Qin, who is it?" Wang Rui was quick to react, his gaze sweeping towards the last two girls who hadn’t found their Dream Demons.

"I’m not!"

"I’m not either!" Yang Qin said.

"Just now I encountered a very strange thing; yesterday in this dream realm, which was the day I dropped out, Yang Qin actually came to see me off," Wu Hen said.

"That’s impossible, Yang Qin clearly didn’t see you off, a lot of people saw it," Tian Jia Bao said.

"In reality, Yang Qin indeed didn’t do that, but in this dream world it changed, and we can conclude that Yang Qin’s dream is not on the same day as ours, her dream was yesterday, and ours was today," Wu Hen said.

"I don’t understand...so who is this Yang Qin in front of us?" Wang Rui pointed at Yang Qin standing before him.

The other three were also staring at the current Yang Qin, who herself appeared completely baffled and innocent.

"It’s Luo Yuying’s Ancient Dream Demon, you guys usually go to school together, right?" Wu Hen said.

Luo Yuying herself was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Think about it carefully, has she acted any differently?" Wu Hen continued.

"It doesn’t seem like she’s off, I woke up in my own bed, and Yang Qin came to call me to school, just like usual… On the way, she still talked, a bit regretful she hadn’t seen you off yesterday... Ah, but you just said, in this dream world, Yang Qin did see you off yesterday, my head is getting messy!" Luo Yuying said.

"Simply put, the Yang Qin you see now is the Ancient Dream Demon; naturally, she would remember not seeing me off, in fact, in all four of our memories, she didn’t do that," Wu Hen said.

"But how then would others in this dream realm say Yang Qin saw you off?" Wang Rui asked.

"I just said, the real Yang Qin entered a dream that isn’t today but went to yesterday! Although similar dream scenarios intersect, her action in the dream yesterday changed what happened in our dreams today,"

The other three were all confused and completely didn’t understand what Wu Hen was saying.

"Anyway, we can now leave the dream, we four have found our Ancient Dream Demons," Wu Hen said.

Only then did Luo Yuying fully focus on the "Yang Qin" in front of her, then earnestly asked, "Are you my Ancient Dream Demon?"

Yang Qin’s cheeks immediately bore a pink hue, and she shed the previously puzzled demeanor, her eyes revealing a strange intelligence.

"You are right, I am your Ancient Dream Demon," Yang Qin nodded.

"Man, this is outrageous, aren’t we five Awakeners? How can Awakeners be impersonated by an Ancient Dream Demon?" Wang Rui exclaimed.

"It was said already, Yang Qin’s dream isn’t today, it was yesterday!" Yu Yu was getting somewhat annoyed with the intelligence of these people.

"This is a Dream Fruit, a gift for you all," Luo Yuying’s Ancient Dream Demon also took out the Dream Realm Element as a gift for this interesting journey.

"It’s getting dark, we should also leave the dream now."

"What about Yang Qin, can she wake up by herself? Can she find her Ancient Dream Demon?"

"What if she gets trapped in the dream?"

...

The day completely turned to night, and the four’s dreams also awakened.

Once again opening their eyes, they found themselves floating outside a cliff.

There was little gravity here, and even outside the cliff, their bodies floated lightly like feathers.

Floating here were not only them but also many Foreign Lost Ones, each appearing as if they were sleeping on soft beds, their sleeping positions quite extraordinary, sprawled in all directions.

Many people slept outside this cliff, all unintentionally stepping into this boundless wasteland and getting lost.

Wu Hen, Wang Rui, Tian Jia Bao, Luo Yuying—the four opened their eyes among the Lost Ones at Sleeping Dream Cliff and quickly found each other, then tried to swim towards each other by waving their limbs.

They had woken up in host bodies, and their appearances had changed, but only they four in the Sleeping Dream Cliff were awake, and a few glances were enough to recognize each other.

Just as the four had gathered and were about to look for Yang Qin, suddenly a woman’s voice sounded from beside them.

"You’re awake; I’ve been waiting for you for a while now," the woman said.

"Who are you??" Luo Yuying asked, puzzled, looking at this strange woman.

"I am Yang Qin, this is the host I awakened in. Does the appearance differ a lot from me?" the woman claiming to be Yang Qin said.

The other three stared blankly, their minds spinning with the bizarreness of the dream and their awakening experience.

"Shh, this is a place inhabited by a group of Ancient Dream Demons, we woke up among those dreaming Lost Ones, you must have also entered the dream and then realized something was off," the woman claiming to be Yang Qin said.

"We know what you’re saying, but... but why didn’t you enter the same dream as us? We all dreamt of the same day, the morning when Li Feng announced the world as virtual. What’s more outrageous is that in the dream, you were also with us, and we were all looking for Ancient Dream Demons, and the you in our dream turned out to be the Ancient Dream Demon!" Luo Yuying said angrily.

"Ah??" Yang Qin wasn’t aware their dream was so peculiar either.

"You had a different dream from us, huh!" Tian Jia Bao said.

"What was your dream like, tell us quickly," Luo Yuying demanded.

Yang Qin smiled mysteriously, glancing towards Lord Wu Hen, "It’s like making a wish, if I tell you, it won’t come true."

"You discovered the Ancient Dream Demon before us?" Wu Hen was also surprised.

It turned out, Yang Qin had awakened early and was already waiting for them here.

"Actually, not long after walking in the dream, I noticed something unreal, so I confronted the Dream Demon there, asking why he pretended to be my friend, and he admitted he was an Ancient Dream Demon," Yang Qin said.

Wu Hen nodded.

His speculations weren’t far off, but he hadn’t expected Yang Qin to figure it out herself.

Indeed, Cha Cha is smart—not foolish at all.

"Hehehe, do you think we wouldn’t know what dream you are having?" Luo Yuying and Tian Jia Bao finally understood what Wu Hen mentioned earlier and they started laughing mischievously, "You dreamt of the day Lord Wu Hen dropped out of school, armed with the memory that now you know Lord Wu Hen will achieve Ascension and become a Saint, you tried everything in your power to please him, to make up for the foolish actions you once committed!"

"Ah?????" Yang Qin’s face flushed red in an instant!

How did they know!!

Yang Qin was both embarrassed and shocked, wishing she could quickly find a crevice in the cliff to squeeze into!

"Forget it, I’m a man you’ll never have; keep dreaming," Wu Hen stretched out his hand, patted Yang Qin’s head, and said arrogantly.

"Hahahaha, among billions of humans, you’re the finest male, Yang Qin. You need to beat how many exceptional human females to possibly win Lord Wu Hen’s heart—it really can only happen in dreams!" The two girls mercilessly mocked Yang Qin.

Yang Qin became enraged, and even thought about activating the golden Xuan Crystal Silk inside her body to kill these two classmates and silence them, but she quickly realized she was now an Awakener and didn’t carry her evolved Mutation abilities.

"Let’s stop the quarrel now. Do you guys have an exit key?" Wu Hen said.

The four immediately tried calling the Virtual Helmet’s equipped consciousness exit function; quickly, they heard the AI voice of the Virtual Helmet.

"Do you wish to exit Otherworldly Dust?"

It was the same voice as the initial version that asks, "Confirm entering into Otherworldly Dust?"

As long as they confirmed their exit, their consciousness would instantly return to their own soul bodies!

Excitement spread across all five faces!

They could enter and also exit.

This was how Otherworldly Dust was meant to be!

But thinking of the hardship over the years, and how many people had worked hard for this "exit key," they couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

"Shall we exit now?" Wang Rui asked.

Everyone had found their Ancient Dream Demons and received the gifted Element.

They had their gains and could leave now.

"We’re here already; why not walk a bit further?" Luo Yuying boldly suggested, her eyes fixed on the rainy world far beyond Sleeping Dream Cliff.

"That’s fine, we have an exit key now, whatever the danger, just leave directly... Even if the exit key malfunctions, each of us has an Element, we can use it to return home by crushing it," Wu Hen nodded.
