862: But what if it wasn't a dream?

Hainan Island, Qiongzhou First Martial Arts Middle School, Grade 9, Class 3.

Wang Quan lifted his head from his arms. The confusion in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by clarity, and then, a sense of vicissitudes.

'Reincarnation? Rebirth?'

He looked down at his own fair, tender hands.

'Does the cycle of Reincarnation really exist in this world?'

'And...'

'This world!!!'

Recalling the memories of this lifetime, his pupils began to contract unnaturally.

'Everyone can undergo an Awakening of a Divine Ability?'

'Technology that spans the galaxy developed in just a few short years?'

'Several inter-realm wars where they could completely devour other realms, turning them into their own resources?'

'And that massive array covering the heavens and earth, that Divine Artifact known as the territory map, which allows anyone to enter and exit at will.'

'Divine Ability cultivation techniques that can be obtained for free as long as one has enough strength and conviction.'

'An environment for Cultivation filled with mist, and an inexhaustible supply of basic cultivation resources...'

'Although weak, what a brilliant world this is.'

'And! And!'

'Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Yang Dian?'

'What kind of terrifying figure is this?'

'That Dr. Bai can continuously advance technology; it could be said he obtained the Legacy of a higher civilization, and as long as there are enough resources, he can gradually unlock technology using those artifact spirits.'

'But what about that Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Yang Dian?'

'A mere dozen years.'

'If calculated by the time in my world before Reincarnation, even less time has passed.'

'In just a few short years, he went from a mere Mortal to the Great Sun level?'

'Is this really a human?'

'Is it not some old monster who has nothing better to do and came to play in the Mortal world?'

'Possessing such strength, he actually doesn't seek power, beauty, or money, and still identifies with the so-called Crimson Faith?'

Wang Quan, a transmigrator whose worldview was constantly being shattered, fell silent for a moment. He then turned his head to look at his brother and best friend sitting next to him in this life.

'And him.'

'Xie Fei.'

'My brother who grew up wearing the same pair of split-crotch pants.'

'He had an Awakening of a Great Destiny-type Divine Ability?'

'If it weren't for the Great Destiny-type Divine Ability stimulating his true spirit, I would have needed another three years to recover the memories of my past life.'

'But are the memories of my past life really important?'

Two sets of memories collided in Wang Quan's mind.

In his past life, he was the Youyang Sword Immortal, who had lived by the sword since he had memory. After the age of sixteen, he was either fighting the Yao Race or on his way to fight the Yao Race.

That was a lifetime of blood and fire.

As for what affection was?

He, the Youyang Sword Immortal, knew nothing of that.

He only knew how to wield his sword.

In the end, his sword shattered and he died at the hands of a Yao God.

In this life, although he picked up the sword again under the influence of his true spirit.

Apart from the sword, he had a mother who loved him, a father who, though silent, also cared for him, and a little sister who would wait for him at the door every time he came home from school, sweetly calling him 'big brother'.

And...

A faith that seemed worth protecting?

'In my past life, the Human Race raised me, taught me the Dao of the sword, and provided for my Cultivation, so I slaughtered the Yao Race to protect the Human Race, even dying on the human-yao battlefield.'

'They do not owe me.'

'I do not owe them.'

'Let the matters of the past life stay in the past life.'

'In this life, I am not the Youyang Sword Immortal.'

'I am Wang Quan.'

'A normal Grade 9 student in Qiongzhou, Huaxia.'

Just as Wang Quan's thoughts settled, Xie Fei, who was drooling on his desk beside him, shivered suddenly.

"Holy crap."

Xie Fei, who sat up instantly, rubbed the goosebumps on his arms. After looking around, he let out a breath and then grabbed Wang Quan's arm.

"Old Wang, do you know what I just dreamed about?"

"What did you dream about?" Wang Quan's eyes were filled with curiosity.

That was a Great Destiny Divine Ability! And a Great Destiny Divine Ability that glimpsed the future during the Awakening.

Heaven knows what kind of future destiny Xie Fei glimpsed.

"Being dragged into a room by eighteen eighty-year-old crones to be seriously instructed?"

Wang Quan, thinking about what destiny Xie Fei had glimpsed, couldn't help but stiffen as he heard the words instinctively tumble out of his own mouth.

'Come to think of it.'

'The people of Huaxia seem a bit improper.'

'How did I become like this?'

'Could it be the 'joker' attribute that exists deep in every Huaxia person's Soul, as they say on the internet?'

Xie Fei naturally didn't know what Wang Quan was thinking, nor did he know that Wang Quan had broken through the mystery of the womb and awakened the memories of his past life.

He just wanted to say what he saw in his 'dream'.

"I dreamed that you became the strongest of our generation, holding a watermelon knife and hacking your way from the Cold Ice Star Domain to the Blazing Fire Star Domain."

"Then, for some reason, after you got information about a planet called the Great Wilderness Star, you went crazy, grabbed your watermelon knife, descended upon the Great Wilderness Star in your true body, and hacked the Yao Race on the Great Wilderness Star like radishes."

"After hacking the Yao Race on the Great Wilderness Star, you said something about destiny, Reincarnation, and sublimation, stepped into the fifth tier, and then returned to Earth to take me along to show off and fly."

Hearing the word 'Great Wilderness', Wang Quan's pupils shrank.

However, Xie Fei didn't notice Wang Quan's change and continued talking about his dream:

"Oh right, you also brought me some specialties from the Great Wilderness Star, saying it was some kind of Fox Race Saintess."

"Don't even mention it, that Saintess had huge tits."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Slurp."

After slurping up some drool, Xie Fei seemed to touch upon some terrifying memory. His pupils began to dilate slightly, and his face turned pale:

"But as soon as I brought that fox home, before I could even score, my wife saw it."

Speaking of this, Xie Fei looked obscurely at the front desk.

The front desk was the object of his unrequited love, and also his wife in his 'dream'.

Feeling the fear rising on Xie Fei, Wang Quan raised an eyebrow:

"And then you were castrated by my future daughter-in-law?"

Hearing this, Xie Fei not only didn't argue with Wang Quan about the father-son relationship, but the terror in his eyes grew even stronger.

"She changed into a different person after she saw me bring back the fox girl."

"Her eyes turned blood-red, two sharp horns grew out of her head, her fingernails became incredibly sharp, and her expression became incredibly cold, as if she wanted to eat people."

"Then, she ate me!"

After saying this, the terror in Xie Fei's eyes gradually faded, and his clear eyes began to glow with vitality again.

"But it's no big deal, it was just a dream."

He put his hands on his hips, his face triumphant:

"In the dream, the most wrong thing I did was bringing the fox girl home."

"But this time it's different."

"This time I'm awake."

"Quan'er, if you send me another fox girl, I definitely won't bring it home, but will raise it in another city, or even raise her in a Small World or an Interstellar Pioneer base."

"I definitely won't let that tigress at home find out."

"Pfft." Xu Zhenzhen, who was pricking up her ears to listen to the story in the front row, turned around and glared at Xie Fei:

"Scum."

Xie Fei chuckled:

"Zhenzhen, I was just joking, you must not get angry."

"Who wants to be angry at you?"

"I'm going to practice martial arts."

Just as Xu Zhenzhen got up and left the classroom, Wang Quan and a voice that was slightly unfamiliar, but seemed to have been heard somewhere before, drifted into Xie Fei's ears:

"But what if that wasn't a dream?"

Xie Fei first looked at Wang Quan in confusion, then looked in the direction from which the other voice came outside the window.

"Holy crap, Commander?..."
