Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 299: Dreaming (End of this Volume)

"Oh? Do you understand?" Zhuangzi saw Shi Fei's thoughtful look and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"It's useless to understand, you have to do it." Shi Fei shook his head, with a firm tone in his voice.

There is still a big difference between knowing and doing.

"Well, do as you please. I will continue to dream!" Zhuangzi stretched himself lazily, speaking in a relaxed tone, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him. He lay back on the big rock, closed his eyes, and prepared to continue his dream.

Shi Fei suddenly asked: "Why here?"

"Why?" Zhuangzi said lazily while lying on a big rock.

"Why is it Sun Wukong who is learning martial arts from a disciple?" Shi Fei's gaze pierced through the thick fog and looked at Sun Wukong who was learning martial arts from a disciple outside, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"How many talented and capable people there are throughout the ages? But only the monkey is the first one to reach the Lingxiao Palace in thousands of years!" Zhuangzi said lightly.

Everything in front of him was his dream. He had countless dreams, and placed the monkey in a very important position.

Sometimes, he puts himself in the monkey's shoes to experience the monkey's rebelliousness. Sometimes, he watches the monkey struggle in the torrent of fate. Sometimes, he treats people like Shi Fei as a variable to observe how they interfere with the monkey's fate.

"What? You want to attack Lingxiao Palace too?" Shi Fei stood up, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Why?" Zhuangzi's voice was unrestrained, as if he was joking: "I can't destroy this world? Can't I be the emperor of heaven who puts an end to the immortals?"

"You are the carefree and idle Zhuangzi!" Shi Fei said.

"The world is like a black curtain. No matter where you go, it is dark. Isn't this what we are pursuing freedom?" Zhuangzi's words seemed to be a joke.

Is he kidding or not? What is he thinking?
Then only he knows.

Shi Fei did not answer him, but just felt his own "dream". Zhuangzi provided him with an idea, he had to find his own "dream" and then reach the dream city from his dream.

Is dreaming within a dream also a dream?

Of course it’s a dream.

In this illusory world, "dreams" are the anchor.

Then, his body began to twist and gradually entered his own consciousness. His consciousness was like a colorful glass ball, seemingly delicate and beautiful, but very illusory.

In the deepest part of his consciousness, he began to fall asleep. It was difficult for him to fall asleep now, but he remained patient. Slowly, slowly, he found a way to fall asleep. His consciousness was like floating up and down in a black ocean.

He was about to fall asleep. At the last moment, he thought of his promise, and a wisp of power turned into a little consciousness and flew to a corner of Zhuangzi's dream.

That's where Shi Zichen is.

At this time, Shi Zichen was leading people to capture a group of stubborn elements. This group of people, led by Li Changgeng, preached in private, amassed wealth, and attempted to become gods by collecting faith.

Can you become a god just by collecting faith?

Isn’t that a fantasy?

Shi Zichen sneered, this method, they just randomly found it on the Internet! Then they exported it to domestic sales, and these fools were fooled.

They are not stupid, but they have no other options but to try this illusory method, just like a drowning person grabbing a glimmer of hope.

They grasped at the false hope, and Shi Zichen also grasped their tails. It can be said that every move of Li Changgeng's group was under the watchful eyes of Shi Zichen and his group. Now that the fish were in the net, it was time to close the net.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly lit up. In order to ensure silence before the action, he turned his cell phone to silent mode. He was about to hang up when he saw the incoming call number was 1024.

He knew that this was a call from Shi Fei. Since the last quarrel with Shi Fei, Shi Zichen had also investigated this strange number. The result of the investigation was that no operator had such a number. Because this number did not conform to the basic frequency band of any operator.

Either Shi Fei made up this number out of thin air, or the operator deceived him. In any case, this proved that Shi Fei had special abilities.

After thinking about it, Shi Zichen answered the phone. They quarreled and disagreed, but they all came from the Dream City and had the same goal.

"Hello, I'm busy here, please be brief." Shi Zichen answered the phone with a bit of urgency in his tone.

"I have found a way to leave here." Shi Fei's voice came from the phone.

"What method?" Shi Zichen's face lit up with anticipation, and he asked, "Did you find him?"

The so-called "he" refers to the Lord of Dreams.

"Found it." Shi Fei said on the phone: "He can send us out, but he also told me how to return to the Dream City!"

"What method?" Shi Zichen's voice was a little nervous.

"Dream on." Shi Fei answered briefly.

"...I admit that our last conversation was unpleasant, but you don't have to hold a grudge against it." Shi Zichen thought Shi Fei was still angry about the last phone argument.

"No, I don't hold a grudge against it." Shi Fei explained, "I mean, just dream. Find your own dream and try to dream, just like Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly and found that he was a butterfly."

“Do you realize you’re a butterfly?”

Shi Fei's words are direct and philosophical. Do people in dreams realize that they are butterflies? Do they realize that they are people in dreams?
"Of course I realize that," Shi Zichen said, "We are not from this world."

"Then dream on! Follow your dreams and try, and you will find the way back to the city of dreams!" Shi Fei said, "I am ready to dream and start my own dream. I'm sorry, I can't take you with me when I dream of leaving here, because this is my own dream."

When Shi Zichen heard what Shi Fei said, he already understood the purpose of his call.

He said solemnly: "Thank you very much!"

He knew that Shi Fei could have simply not told him, but he still made the call.

"You're welcome. I hope we can meet in the city of dreams one day." Shi Fei said and hung up the phone.

Afterwards, his body slowly sank into the darkness, and he was completely asleep. While asleep, his consciousness became active again, and he escaped from this dream.

He saw in the dream that Zhuang Zhou was watching him slowly leave, and then he plunged into an unknown dream.

After Shi Fei left, the dream began to evolve rapidly again.

Finally, he woke up from his dream.

When he woke up, he was on top of a fairy tree. He looked at the heavenly palace in front of him, with its jade buildings, trees, and clouds of light, towering palaces, and misty heavenly palaces.

He couldn't help but laugh, patted his tattered clothes, climbed down the tree and walked away.

The dream is over, and it’s time for the gods to face reality.

Why can't reality be like dreams?
