57: The end of life

"Why do dreams feel so real?"

Luo Chen looked at the purple light cluster that suddenly appeared before him.

He felt his hand gradually merge with the light cluster in front of him, then pass through it.

What a wondrous sensation.

He had never experienced such a wondrous sensation before.

Hmm?

Why is my hand red?

Suddenly, Luo Chen noticed the color of his arm and quickly looked down at his body.

His entire body was red, but his brain and heart were slightly yellow.

What a strange dream!

Luo Chen frowned. This dream was somewhat similar to the dreams he had in his adolescence.

But for so many years, after shedding his virgin status, he hadn't had such dreams for a long time.

What surprised him most was how real this dream felt.

"Ah? What are you doing?"

A female voice came from within the figure.

"Oh! So real, and it even has a voice? And it resists?"

Luo Chen thought with a hint of surprise, never expecting such a hidden fetish within him.

He slowly pressed his figure against hers, continuously merging with the other party.

Boom!

As the two light clusters completely merged, Luo Chen's consciousness instantly expanded, his soul seemingly transforming into a mountain, rising infinitely towards the sky.

In that moment, he forgot everything, forgot where he was... Half an hour later.

Luo Chen's consciousness returned, only to find himself still in the dream.

But the woman's appearance was now clearly presented before him, small and delicate with a hint of baby fat.

At this moment, she was staring blankly at Luo Chen.

Looking at the woman before him, many memories suddenly appeared in Luo Chen's mind, as if the woman in front of him was someone he was extremely familiar with.

At this moment, he also knew her name—Liu Ruoli, one of the two women who died on the purple Train earlier.

"Didn't you die?" Luo Chen asked, puzzled.

Liu Ruoli reacted, her face flushing with embarrassment. Had she been 'slept with' in a dream?

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Luo Chen took a few steps back, avoiding her touch.

Liu Ruoli felt the pleasure in her hand slowly disappear, a little disappointed. She was then startled awake by Luo Chen's words and explained in a flustered manner:

"Oh... oh! Sister Jinxuan said that physical death is not the end of life; forgetting is. Although our bodies died, our memories have not.

So, with Sister Jinxuan's help, I survived in the form of a memory body. As long as someone remembers us, we can continue to exist as memories."

"Then wouldn't you be immortal?"

Sensing Luo Chen's thoughts, Liu Ruoli continued to explain:

"Of course not! Merely remembering a name cannot guarantee the immortality of memory.

In other words, we actually exist by relying on the true memories of those who know us.

If our image in these people's memories continuously blurs, or they even forget us, our memory bodies will become weaker and weaker, eventually disappearing completely.

At that point, we will have been forgotten, and we will truly die.

So, if we want to preserve our complete memories and survive, we must have a powerful memory carrier to remember us."

Luo Chen suddenly understood. He had figured it out.

Although they could survive after physical death, they still needed a living person as an anchor to exist.

He then remembered the other tall and fiery woman and asked curiously, "What about Su Jinxuan? Where is she?"

"She's outside. Your power is too strong; we couldn't enter your body, so we could only enter when you fainted."

"Can she come in too?" Luo Chen asked.

"Yes! But you need to grant permission for her to enter."

Liu Ruoli nodded, then began to try and contact Su Jinxuan: "It's done, I've told her."

"You can contact her like that?" Luo Chen was a little confused.

"Hmm! Actually, we can do this too. It's just a bit strenuous. Sister Jinxuan said that after two memory bodies merge, they will leave traces of themselves in each other's bodies."

"But now we are both inside your body, in the same memory space, so we can't contact each other like that."

Soon, Luo Chen felt a faint impact on his mind; the other party was trying to enter his body.

Luo Chen relaxed his mind, allowing her to enter.

A tall figure appeared beside Liu Ruoli, indistinct in appearance, also unclothed and radiating purple light.

"Why can I see your appearance, but not hers?" Luo Chen asked, looking at Liu Ruoli.

Before Liu Ruoli could answer, a voice came from within the tall figure:

"Luo Chen, hello! My name is Su Jinxuan; you've seen me before."

"Hello!" Luo Chen nodded.

Su Jinxuan said, "You can see her because you merged with her and gained a part of her memories, so you can see her appearance."

"So, I need to merge with you to see your appearance?" Luo Chen realized.

"That's the fastest way. Another way is for you to watch more of my videos or TV shows, and you might be able to see a part."

"Then forget it! That's too much trouble. Who knows how well you act."

Su Jinxuan's face darkened, though Luo Chen couldn't tell.

She was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "So you want to merge with me?"

"Isn't that obvious? You've already seen through me, what else is there to hide? I heard you were both big stars before; who wouldn't want to experience that?" Luo Chen said casually.

Since they were already speaking so openly, there was no need for him to pretend.

"Alright, but you need to agree to two conditions. As long as you agree, I can merge with you."

Su Jinxuan seemed to have expected this and agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"Tell me? What are the conditions? As long as they're not too difficult, I can agree."

"First, we need you as our carrier, so we can exist within your body."

"Are there any downsides for me?"

"No major downsides. If you are willing to be our carrier, as long as you are alive, we can continue to exist.

Except for absorbing some of your energy. However, you've already awakened to the second stage, so this amount of energy is negligible for you.

Also, during the merging process, we will see each other's memories. But you won't see much, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Alright." Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Both women were in his memory space, and Luo Chen could easily sense if she was lying:

"Tell me the other one!"

Su Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The second is to help us reshape our physical bodies."

Luo Chen frowned slightly and said, "I can't do that. I've never even heard of being able to reshape a physical body."

Su Jinxuan explained:

"Don't worry. According to the information provided by the God of Memory, there is a golden core that can activate a physical body reshaping chamber. It can re-clone a physical body based on the biological information stored in the Train."

"Alright." Luo Chen nodded. The golden core wouldn't require him to pay too great a price, which was acceptable.

And with a physical body, he would be the one enjoying it.

"Then there's no problem."

With that said, Su Jinxuan slowly moved closer to Luo Chen.
