After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 266 The Real Dream Three

About this world, about parallel worlds.

It had always been a small knot in Tang Ling's heart.

In fact, she was very attached to her family from her previous life and had no complaints about it. If she hadn't come to this world where people would be punished if they didn't cultivate, she might still be living a very Buddhist life like in her previous life.

But for some reason, she came into this world without any warning, and without any accidents, car crashes, or drownings like those described in novels.

Moreover, she had previously speculated that she and the original owner had exchanged souls, and perhaps in her own world, the original owner would live in her place.

But no.

What should I do?

What should I do about my family?
So she asked her former self, "Tang Ling," if she had summoned her because she wanted revenge.

But she shook her head.

"No, I don't have that kind of ability." The original owner of "Tang Ling" looked slightly confused. "I don't know how I returned to a thousand years ago, nor do I know why you took control of my body. At first, I thought you possessed me, but later I observed your words and actions and found that it wasn't like that."

"Could it be... Meng San?" Tang Ling murmured to herself for a moment.

"Actually... during the years I was inside that body, I noticed something strange when I was occasionally conscious," the original "Tang Ling" said abruptly, observing Tang Ling's expression.

"what?"

“It’s that Xiao Hei’s consciousness is very weak in your body, or rather, I can hardly feel Xiao Hei’s consciousness from back then in your body.” As she said this, the original owner of “Tang Ling” seemed to become somewhat timid.

Tang Ling didn't understand. "What does this mean?"

"Have you ever seen it?" the original owner of the body, "Tang Ling," suddenly asked. "Or rather, have you ever spoken to it?"

Tang Ling shook her head, then suddenly looked up at the original owner of the body, "You talked to it?"

The original owner nodded, and Tang Ling saw a hint of fear in her eyes, which was gradually spreading.

The original owner stepped back, distancing herself from Tang Ling. "What if I said... I mean... what if your consciousness didn't actually exist at all?"

silence.

Dead silence.

Only the sound of waves crashing against the ground could be heard.

Tang Ling felt a fine, dense sensation, like ants and mosquitoes, crawling up from the soles of her feet and quickly spreading throughout her body, giving her goosebumps.

"Xiao Hei's memories are so chaotic. He has experienced too many years. Without checking the memories in his sea of ​​consciousness, no one knows where he has been, who he has met, or what he has experienced."

The original owner glanced at the boundless sea of ​​consciousness, and when she looked at Tang Ling again, the speculation in her eyes had lessened, replaced by a greater sense of conviction. "Perhaps, your memories of your past life are just a fragment of Xiao Hei's long life. It's just that Xiao Hei's memory erasure problem caused your memories to become confused from the moment you woke up here, which is why you think you are... in your words, you've transmigrated—perhaps, you were originally Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei was originally you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Tang Ling suddenly stood up, took a few steps back, and staggered a bit.

"You're the one who's Xiao Hei, aren't you?" Her voice was tinged with panic. "You're saying all this just to gradually weaken my consciousness so you can take over this body, right?"

The original owner looked at Tang Ling and panicked, "I'm not, I really am not!"

But every time the original owner took a step closer, Tang Ling would take a step back, until she tripped over something cold and fell to the ground with a thud.

"What kind of monster is that!" The original owner suddenly widened her eyes, screamed, and ran away.

Tang Ling, who had tripped over something, saw clearly what had tripped her. The familiar feeling, cold and slippery, was that a snake's body, several times thicker than hers, had once again coiled around her. Tang Ling had no doubt that if the snake exerted even the slightest force, she would be strangled to death instantly.

But perhaps the shock of the information he had just received was too great, which lessened much of his fear of seeing the snake-bodied, human-faced beast again.

She met the familiar, enormous face and smelled the familiar scent.

"You are... the snake-bodied, human-faced beast that entered my consciousness at the Ninth Peak back then?" she asked.

"Young friend, do you still remember me?" the snake-bodied, human-faced beast said, slowly sliding its body along.

nonsense.

How could I not remember?
It was because of this magical beast that I failed the new disciple assessment back then, and I only managed to stay in the Lingxian Sect thanks to Song Nan and Lu Qingfeng.

"What are you doing here again?" Tang Ling frowned. "Are you trying to persuade me not to cultivate immortality? Why would you try to persuade me like that?"

Whether I cultivate immortality or not is none of your business.
This was actually something that Tang Ling had always been puzzled about.

"You really don't remember?" The snake-bodied, human-faced beast stared at Tang Ling and suddenly uttered a name that sent chills down her spine.

“Dream Eater,” it called out, looking at Tang Ling.

Dream Eater is the name of the Dream Three Beast Body – Dream Eater.

If it weren't for the thing binding her body, Tang Ling really wanted to run far away and leave these people behind.

Why are they calling out names that don't belong to her, one after another?

She was just an ordinary high school student living in modern times, so how did she become one of the four famous ancient magical beasts after coming here?

Is God playing a cruel joke on her?!

"Stop running away, dream eater."

Hearing this, Tang Ling seemed to see a hint of schadenfreude on the face of the snake-bodied, human-faced beast.

"Your memory is malfunctioning." It continued to spout words Tang Ling didn't want to hear, "You are the Dream Eater, the Dream Eater is you."

"You promised to help my dragon clan escape the restrictions of the upper realm, but in your previous life you went to cultivate immortality. Were you bewitched by that brat named Ji Wuchan?"

"You know Ji Wuchan?" Tang Ling asked warily. "Who exactly are you?"

"Me?" The snake-bodied, human-faced beast sneered. "I am a fragment of the consciousness that the Dragon King was suppressed and imprisoned in the Dragon Sea. That's why I look like this half-dragon, half-human ghost."

"Then why are you inside my body?" Tang Ling frowned, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

“Back then, you were a black cat and didn’t know any better. You were almost caught and cooked. I saved you, but you’ve forgotten.” The snake-bodied, human-faced beast said, “You promised to repay me and allowed my consciousness to attach itself to you. I’ve followed you from my past life to this one, so naturally I know many things.”

At this point, it gave Tang Ling a cold look, "I have personally witnessed your consciousness from your past life to this life, how could I not know who you are? You are Meng San, and you are also the Dream Eater. There is no Tang Ling from your world in this world. Everything is just the Dream Eater."

"The flower in your sea of ​​consciousness is now in full bloom. This flower contains all the energy in your body, and now is the perfect time. If you don't believe me, I'll teach you a method. Just circulate your spiritual power after you wake up and gather it on this flower. I will then give you a boost within your body to restore your dream-eating power."

The snake-bodied, human-faced beast spoke with a seductive tone, "Actually, when you wake up, you will find that you have no other choice. Only in this way can we help you and your senior brother escape from danger."

"What would happen if I gained the power to eat dreams?"

"You will regain the memories of the Dream Eater, and at the same time possess the memories of Tang Ling. You will become one, you are it, and it is you—and my consciousness and the consciousness of my previous life 'Tang Ling' will also dissipate under the suppression of your power. At that time, you will become the true Dream Eater, completely and independently dominating this body."
