The cracks in the dream were forcibly stitched up.
The entire city, the entire dream world, and the core of the dream realm all returned to peace at this moment.
Mengling watched all of this quietly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She whispered:
"This time, you really won."
At the center of that pillar of light, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice slowly resounded—
That was their shared voice, deep and gentle, firm yet tender:
"We're back."
Su Ting's voice came from the pillar of light: "This time... it's our turn to protect the dream."
"Su Ting, what are you talking about? It's clearly you." Su Ting's tone was tinged with laughter. "You are the softest dream in my heart."
"Hey, you two, now that you've merged, hurry up and clean this place up." Mengling gently flicked out a wisp of light, which, like silk, surrounded the pillar of light, but was bounced back several feet the moment it touched the golden-black energy.
“Heh… the fusion is a bit more complicated than I imagined.” Su Ting’s voice echoed in a low tone, followed by Su Ting’s voice with a slight chuckle: “Not ‘a bit,’ but ‘a lot.’”
The two slowly stepped out of the pillar of light, golden ripples spreading beneath their feet. The previously fragmented dreamlike ground began to reassemble after they landed, as if an unseen hand was carefully piecing together a torn painting.
Su Ting raised his hand, a silvery-white light appearing between his fingers, while a deep purple light appeared in his palm. Their palms collided, and the two lights instantly merged, forming a spiral-shaped mark that left a deep trail in the air.
“I can actually sense all your memories…” Su Ting said softly, a strange emotion rising in his eyes, “The firelight that night, the look in your eyes when you first saw me, and your whispers in the real world… You said, ‘How wonderful it would be if I could walk this path for you.’”
Su Ting gave a wry smile: "It's not too late for you to regret it now."
"You've got it backwards." Su Ting reached out and tapped his chest. "When I first woke up in reality, I already knew the price you paid for secretly entering the dream core to protect me. You lied to me. You think I don't remember?"
Su Ting remained silent.
“You two are quite in sync,” Mengling sighed. “But don’t forget, the cracks in the Dream Core haven’t been fully repaired yet, and your fusion will only last for a quarter of an hour. Don’t just get caught up in reminiscing.”
“There’s enough time.” Su Ting turned to look at the shattered sky in the distance. The boundaries of the dream had become blurred, as if the whole world was about to collapse.
"Su Ting, we have to join forces."
Su Ting nodded, his gaze resolute: "This time, let's finish this together."
The two walked forward side by side, as chaotic currents of energy surged from the cracks deep within the dream core, each current resembling a fragmented dream. They twisted and intertwined, carrying endless emotions and memories.
Su Ting stretched out his hand, pointed his fingertip, and instantly a huge net of silvery-white light wove together. Su Ting then gathered the purple dream flow in his palm, and like a sharp sword, precisely pierced the center of the rift.
"Om-"
With a buzzing sound, the crack began to vibrate, but instead of closing completely, it began to devour the light they cast.
“It’s resisting,” Su Ting frowned. “It doesn’t want to be repaired.”
Chapter 1206 Complete Fusion
“Because it doesn’t want to lose the dreamer.” Su Ting’s eyes flickered slightly. “The essence of a dream is attachment and obsession. The more you try to hold on to it, the further it will run away.”
“Therefore, we can’t just block it.” Su Ting’s eyes lit up. “We must… make it willing to accept us.”
"What do you mean?" Mengling asked from behind.
Su Ting slowly raised his head: "It's not rejecting us. It's waiting for a true dream walker to guide it."
"So... what are you two planning to do..."
“It’s fusion.” Su Ting looked at Su Ting. “Complete fusion. Not just consciousness, but also will and belief. The Dream Core will choose the existence it trusts, and we must become the vessel it can entrust to.”
“But you’ve already merged to a certain extent. If you continue merging… you might never be able to separate again.” Mengling’s tone was somewhat heavy.
“Then let’s not separate.” Su Ting smiled. “Anyway, we’ve both said that you’re not alone, and neither am I. Dreams are something we share.”
"Are you sure?" Mengling asked softly.
"determine."
"let's start."
Su Ting and Su Ting exchanged a glance, then placed their hands together, and the light screen deep within their consciousness reappeared.
The core of the dream was trembling, yet their minds were calmer than ever before.
They closed their eyes.
“A dream is both a beginning and an end,” Su Ting murmured.
“A dream is hope, but also a choice,” Su Ting murmured.
Their voices gradually merged, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
The light deep within the dream core began to tremble, as if responding to the will of fusion. It began to slowly close the cracks, reabsorbing the shattered light and shadow.
The entire dream world seemed to hold its breath at that moment.
Mengling watched quietly, a faint smile appearing on her lips: "So... a dream really can carry two people's names."
"We... succeeded?" Su Ting's voice rang out softly, tinged with weariness yet filled with relief.
“No,” Su Ting replied in a low voice. “This is just the beginning. The Dream Core is responding to us, but its choice has not yet been made.”
"What...will it choose?"
Su Ting smiled gently, his eyes reflecting the slowly forming dream gate.
She asked a question in a soft voice that surprised even Mengling:
"You mean... we really can only choose one person to be the master of dreams?"
The dream paused briefly at this moment.
A voice resounded from the depths of the dream core—
"Would you...be willing to be each other's dreams?"
Su Ting and Su Ting looked at each other, their reflections in each other's eyes.
They never expected that this question would be raised by Meng He himself, as if it were an echo of a thousand years of waiting, or a ray of morning light piercing the soul.
"Would you like to be each other's dreams?" Su Ting murmured, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips. "You heard it too, it's asking us if we're willing."
Su Ting chuckled softly, her voice as gentle as the wind rustling through dream leaves: "It sounds like a marriage proposal."
"Stop joking," Su Ting said with a laugh, lightly tapping him with her fingertip before asking seriously, "Are you really willing?"
"Didn't you already agree?" Su Ting grasped her hand, his palm slightly cool but firm. "Haven't we already gone through countless reincarnations together in our dreams?"
The dream core emitted a slight tremor, as if responding to their sentiments, or like an ancient whisper echoing in the four-dimensional space.
"Yes," they both said at the same time, their voices mingling.
The next instant, the entire dream core began to vibrate violently, and streams of golden light overflowed from it, transforming into countless star-like specks of light that drifted out.
Chapter 1207 Infinite Possibilities
Mengling watched quietly from the side, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.
She whispered, "You really want to split the will of the Dream Core in two... so that each part can carry your own will."
“It’s not about splitting things in two,” Su Ting said softly. “It’s about us becoming its new core together. It will not just be the end of a dream, but our shared future.”
"So... you two have decided to jointly control the Dream Realm?" Meng Ling chuckled. "That's unprecedented."
“Then let’s create one.” Su Ting smiled faintly. “Don’t you always say that dreams are infinite? Infinite possibilities should be written by ourselves.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the core of the dream slowly opened, and a portal woven from light and shadow and dream threads appeared in the air.
The door slowly rotated inward, but no scene could be seen inside, only a reflection.
In the reflection, there are the figures of a young man and woman.
They stood side by side, their clothes fluttering gently, their eyes resolute.
"Is this...our future?" Su Ting asked softly.
The dream core did not respond, but a low, resonant echo slowly emanated from it—
"The dream realm... will be guarded by two people. The dream core has chosen its master. Su Ting, Su Ting, dream traveler, please give your name."
"From this moment on, the Dream Core will no longer be just a symbol of the end, but a bridge connecting people and their dreams."
Su Ting and Su Ting looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
“Dream Bridge,” Su Ting began.
"With dreams as our boat, we sail on the sea of our hearts," Su Ting continued.
The Gate of Dream Cores slammed shut after their voices faded, and a golden light enveloped the entire space.
"Dream Bridge... Stand." The whisper of the Dream Core Spirit entered everyone's mind.
"From this day forward, dreams will no longer be the destination for loners, but the direction for fellow travelers."
At this moment, the dream world became completely stable, the previously incomplete space began to heal itself, and the boundaries of the dream were redrawn.
"This... feels much better." Mengling looked at the golden light in the sky that was gradually stabilizing, and the corners of her mouth turned up. "You two have set a remarkable precedent."
