Chapter 34: Meeting Gift and Package

In the front half of the dream world, a gloomy square.

Su Xiao emerged from a small alley between buildings. The gloomy square ahead was filled with chilling winds, but that didn’t matter—soon enough, it would warm up here.

Scattered stone carvings lay across the square, most toppled over, some shattered. The gloomy square was completely empty of people.

Su Xiao had come here alone. He looked up, spotting a strange bird hovering in midair.

“Bai Ye, I never intended to kill you. Your strength, my wisdom—if we join forces against the Ancient Gods, that would be the wise choice.”

The voice of the Great Sage came through, using the strange bird in the sky as a medium.

“...”

Su Xiao said nothing. He simply drew the long blade at his waist. Seeing this, the Great Sage stopped wasting words. The strange bird in midair exploded, splattering black blood in all directions.

Splat, splat~

Wet, sloshing footsteps came from all around. One by one, beastmen covered in shallow black fur, damp and reeking of filth, emerged from the edges of the square, completely surrounding Su Xiao.

The eyes of these beastmen were murky. No one knew how many years they had spent in the dream world. Their bodies might not decay, but their spirits had long since rotted.

Not only that, but the souls of these beastmen had clearly been altered. This made Su Xiao think of one thing: was the Great Sage connected to the Soul Clock Tower faction?

The Soul Clock Tower had once supported the Light King, even going so far as to make pilgrimages to the White Town. Time changes many things. The Light King’s half-dead state could no longer bind the Soul Clock Tower. Those mad scholars who studied souls and twisted them—there was nothing they wouldn’t do.

If Su Xiao’s guess was correct, the major factions of this world had basically all surfaced.
