I Am the Fated Villain-Chapter 1103 - 464: In short, I often dream of my predecessors, the Golden Book of Hongmeng

Chapter 1464: In short, I often dream of my predecessors, the Golden Book of Hongmeng

“Why have you appeared in my dreams, Senior?”

“Over the years, I’ve often dreamt of you,but none of those dreams were as vivid as this one. I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now, and I’m afraid that if I open my eyes, you’ll disappear.”

Barbara couldn’t hide her excitement and the joy of reuniting after so long. She began to express her feelings of longing.

She was worried, though, that this was still just a dream. When she woke up, everything would vanish, and her life and practice would continue as usual, as constant as the natural order.

“This isn’t your dream; it’s your memory,” said Gu Changge with a gentle smile. “As long as you remember me, I can appear in your memories.”

“I see,” Barbara nodded, only half understanding. Living on in her memories? This method was truly beyond her comprehension, and she had never heard of such a thing before. So, as long as she remembered her senior, could they meet through memories?

“However, I’m curious,” Gu Changge glanced at her, seeming somewhat intrigued. He smiled and asked, “You mentioned you often dreamt of me. What do you dream about?”

Barbar’s expression suddenly changed at his question. Her gaze became slightly evasive, and she appeared embarrassed and hesitant to speak. A faint blush crept onto her usually fair cheeks.

“Uh, Well, I just dream of you frequently…” She replied in a low voice, not meeting Gu Changge’s gaze. It was a difficult question to answer because she wasn’t sure what kind of emotions she had towards him.

Was it respect? Admiration? Did she see him as a senior who had bestowed a great favor on her, or perhaps even as a master?But if it were the latter, wouldn’t these dreams be considered somewhat improper?

Over the years, there had been times when Barbara would fall asleep hugging the clothing that Gu Changge had left behind, especially when her emotions were turbulent or when she faced troubles. Though she had washed the clothes thoroughly, she believed that it still retained the essence of Gu Changge.

Only when she felt his breath, Did her heart find tranquility, as if she were in a warm harbor, forgetting all troubles and worries? Gu Changge smiled, understanding Barbara’s thoughts, and didn’t press further.

However, she raised her curious face and asked, “Today, while I was cultivating, I suddenly heard your call,as a senior. Is there something you need from me?”

Her eyes were pure and clear, like flawless black gemstones, radiating a captivating brilliance.

“I once said that when you reach a certain level in your cultivation, we would meet again. Today, I’ve come to fulfill that promise,” Gu Changge replied.

“Your progress in cultivation hasn’t disappointed me either,” he added with a slight smile.

Barbara nodded, saying, “Over the years, I never allowed myself to slack off. I always thought that as long as I broke through the Immortal King realm, I could traverse the vast expanse, go to the real world, and find you.” This was one of my motivations for becoming stronger.

“Seeing your current level of cultivation, it’s not in vain that I once guided you,” Gu Changge nodded approvingly.

When she followed Gu Changge back then, even though she cultivated hard and comprehended the essence of the devil’s heart, it was difficult for her to get a word of praise from him.

Barbara couldn’t hide the joy on her face. When she followed Gu Changge back then, despite her hard work in cultivation and her understanding of the essence of the devil’s heart, it was difficult for her to receive even a word of praise from him. Even the grilled fish she had prepared with care was met with his disdain. Memories of those past events flashed before her eyes like a flowing stream. This made the corners of Barbara’s mouth curl up as she thought how wonderful it would be to meet again.

Next, she began to share her many experiences with Gu Changge since he left. She recounted how she sought revenge against the first generation of barbarian gods, how she overcame the trials of reincarnation, and how she awakened all the sealed memories from her past life, ultimately discovering her true identity. Afterward, she returned to the Yanyang Realm, where she was trained as a quasi-Daoist.

“As long as I successfully break through to the realm of the Immortal King, I will be qualified to compete for the position of Daoist,” Barbara declared. At the mention of the Daoist position, her expression transformed, revealing an unmistakable arrogance and pride. The Zhou Mie Mansion was one of the most powerful forces in the Yanyang Realm. Once she became a Daoist, her identity would undergo a monumental change. Even the other Dao Realm beings within the Zhou Mie Mansion would dare not underestimate her. Moreover, her father, the current master of the Zhou Mie Mansion, would no longer be able to restrict her with the mansion’s rules.

Her father had many heirs spanning multiple eras, and she would not enjoy any special status simply because she was his daughter. All positions within the Zhou Mie Mansion had to be earned through competition among the heirs.

“You are my chosen successor, and you possess a demonic heart. How can you be so concerned about mere Daoist status?” Gu Changge chuckled upon hearing this.

“I will strive to become the Young Palace Master of the Zhou Mie Mansion, and I will not tarnish the prestige of my predecessors.” Barbara’s eyes sparkled with determination, and her confidence in herself was palpable.

However, there were actually many quasi-Daoists like her in the Zhou Mie Mansion, and almost all of them had already surpassed the realm of the Immortal King in their cultivation. Although she was born later and had far fewer years of cultivation than they did, if she wanted to compete for the position of Daoist, she would have to contend with many powerful competitors and break through their encirclement.

“I naturally have confidence in you; after all, you are my chosen successor,” Gu Changge said. “However, with your current strength, it will still be somewhat challenging to compete against so many talented individuals.” He maintained a light smile.

Barbara was undoubtedly extremely talented, but even if she ascended to the rank of Immortal King, it would be difficult for her to gain any advantage among the quasi-Daoist disciples. It was important to note that among the current geniuses in the Zhou Mie Mansion, there were already many who were on the verge of condensing the light of the quasi-immortal emperor.

There were even evildoers who had been sealed for many generations and were on the verge of achieving the status of Immortal Emperor. Compared to them, Barbara had little advantage aside from her talent and luck.

“I will not be weaker than them.” Barbara thought Gu Changge was underestimating her, and though she was reluctant to admit defeat, she didn’t dare to speak loudly in his presence. Instead, she emphasized her determination in a low voice.

Gu Changge smiled, reached out, and gently ruffled her hair. “Of course, you are not weaker than anyone else. In my heart, they can’t even compare to a single strand of your hair. But your years of cultivation are still too short.”

Hearing this, Barbara couldn’t help but feel a flicker of happiness. “I will work hard to cultivate, catch up, and surpass them…” she whispered firmly, savoring this rare moment of warmth.

“Well, since I’m here, I will naturally help you,” Gu Changge replied lightly. As he spoke, he pointed at Barbara’s forehead.

Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation along the center of her eyebrows, which traveled down into her Soul Palace.

The deep and cold darkness seemed to be suddenly illuminated by this golden light. This golden light was radiant, like a sun that would never set. However, Barbara could clearly see a simple and mysterious book floating in the center of this brilliant golden light.

“Golden Book of Hongmeng?” she thought.

Four ancient and weathered characters manifested, seemingly condensing all the mysteries and Daoist rhymes of the world.
