Qi Xia slowly opened his eyes. Before him was a city bustling with traffic.

Pedestrians passed by on both sides, hustling and bustling, extremely noisy. Where they passed, bursts of joyful laughter could be heard. Everything was in stark contrast to the quiet and desperate “Land of the End.”

Under the azure blue sky, a breeze carrying a fresh fragrance blew past, causing Qi Xia’s hair to flutter in the wind.

“Beep beep beep!”

A series of urgent horn sounds rang out behind Qi Xia. He slowly turned around and discovered he was standing in the middle of the road, blocking a taxi.

“Young man!” The driver leaned his head out of the car window. “Don’t space out! Move aside!”

After hearing this, Qi Xia had no choice but to move his feet and come to the sidewalk on the side. The taxi also closed its window with curses and drove away.

Was this the feeling of being “alive”?

Qi Xia slowly walked forward, gradually falling into confusion.

He forgot why he appeared here and didn’t know what he was supposed to do.

He felt that standing by the roadside watching the masses of living beings, he could perhaps spend the day this way.

How long had it been since he’d seen such a lively scene?

Qi Xia blinked. He remembered that he passed through this street every day, but today he felt especially lost.

With heavy steps, Qi Xia walked step by step to a small river that crossed through the city, finally standing on the small bridge.

He took three deep breaths on the bridge, then turned sideways to look at the fish swimming back and forth in the river. Why was everything here so beautiful…?

A tender voice rang out beside Qi Xia. He turned his head to look and saw it was actually a little girl selling flowers.

“Would you like to buy a flower?” The little girl held a bunch of white flowers and asked. Her smile was extremely sweet, causing Qi Xia to become dazed once again.

“Flowers…?” Qi Xia paused for a long time, and his eyes also began to become sluggish. “I’ve lived here for many years and never remember anyone selling flowers.”

“I only just started selling flowers!” The little girl smiled. “Uncle, these flowers are only available now. After autumn arrives, they’ll be gone. Would you like to buy one?”

The little girl handed a pure white flower to Qi Xia’s hand. The stem of this flower had hook-shaped thorns and pinnate compound leaves. On the same branch, there were five or six small white flowers.

“Flowers of late summer…”

Qi Xia lowered his head to look at this flower. As if thinking of something, his entire body shuddered as if electrocuted.

He lowered his head to look at his own clothes and discovered that on his chest, a cartoon little sheep was clearly embroidered.

Qi Xia’s gradually confused eyes began to become cold again, and his pair of pitch-black pupils were also dyed with a grayish-white color at this moment.

“Haha…” Qi Xia grinned, revealing a terrifying smile.

The flower in his hand gradually withered at this moment, then transformed into clusters of sparks that floated toward the sky.

The little girl before his eyes twisted strangely at this moment. The five features on her entire face began to slowly disappear, finally becoming completely flat under Qi Xia’s gaze.

She slowly raised both hands. The bouquet of flowers she had originally been holding had already turned into a pile of severed fingers.

“Uncle… would you like to buy them?” The little girl’s voice transmitted from the void into Qi Xia’s ears. Qi Xia even heard her laugh “hehe” a few times.

She was very happy, and Qi Xia was also very happy.

When things had reached this point, how many people here could suppress this kind of happiness?

Qi Xia also laughed loudly along with her, and goat pupils grew in his eyes at this moment.

So what if it was in a dream…?

In this place filled with “anchor points,” even the smallest flaw was enough to allow him to wake up.

He reached out his hand to pat the little girl’s head and said softly, “Stop fooling around. Let’s welcome our guest together.”

“Alright!” The little girl shouted loudly and scattered the severed fingers in her hands all over the ground.

As soon as the words fell, the azure blue in the sky began to slowly slide down like wet paint, revealing an extremely blood-red firmament behind it.

The many tall buildings in the city also turned over in large quantities, one brick and tile at a time, transforming from stone into flesh and blood in an instant.

Then came the earth beneath their feet and the clear water in the small river. The colorful world completely collapsed at this moment and put on a fishy-smelling red robe.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street gradually stopped in their tracks. All the features on their faces disappeared. Then they paused for a few seconds and turned those flat faces toward Qi Xia’s direction.

The cars that were driving gradually fell to the ground and transformed into flesh and blood boxes one by one.

With Qi Xia as the center, the world began to rebuild. Large amounts of fresh blood and minced meat spread out, dyeing the entire city in a chaotic manner.

The fragrant breeze became extremely fishy-smelling along with the blood-red earth, and the entire city also changed from full of vitality to quiet.

The little girl before Qi Xia also became like a statue at this moment. Her entire body became still, only that flat face would twist following Qi Xia’s footsteps.

Not just her—all the pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks at this moment, as if removing the disguise they had worn for so long. They just stood quietly, only their necks and above turning to follow Qi Xia.

They were like a patch of blood-red sunflowers.

“Today someone has come to visit,” Qi Xia raised both hands and said loudly. “Bring out our way of treating guests and welcome him to the most beautiful dream in the world.”

As soon as the words fell, thousands of people on the street raised their heads to look at the sky.

The cloudless sky visibly twisted, and in the next second, a figure in red robes appeared in midair. This person’s feet stepped on empty air. After a few seconds, he slowly lowered his head.

He also had no face, but there was a deep red mark on his forehead.

Qi Xia smiled slightly and walked forward as if he hadn’t seen anything.

The figure in the sky pondered for a moment. His form slowly descended, approaching Qi Xia’s direction.

Qi Xia crossed the bridge and came to the base of a residential building. Then he turned around and gently waved his hand.

On the plaza opposite the residential building, bones began to instantly construct themselves. In an instant, the bones were covered with flesh and blood. Like a creator, Qi Xia moved his mind slightly, and a massive building rose from the ground.

After two huge flesh and blood pillars took shape, they grew a flesh and blood crossbeam. The three pillars formed a giant archway.

The pulse on the archway throbbed faintly—clearly it was a giant living thing.

Then an incomparably huge yellowish-white thing began to take form. Looking carefully, it was actually a giant bell made of bones.

Then flesh and blood continued to spread, and a scarlet-colored display screen steadily grew out.

After the flesh and blood display screen took shape, it opened two huge eyes, and in the next second grew two huge ears.

This bizarre scene would make anyone’s hair stand on end, but after witnessing this scene, the people in the entire city had no reaction. They merely stared at Heavenly-Dragon in midair.

After Qi Xia finished building the giant bell and display screen, he turned around and walked into the residential building, stepping on the soft and greasy stairs, walking step by step toward “home.”

Since a guest had come from afar, naturally he should invite him home to sit.
