587: Chapter 585 This Sword is for You

"No, perhaps... there is nothing wrong with our memories!"

"The reason for all this is... every Xiao Luowei I encounter exists independently, and Xiao Luowei has never been influenced by me in the dream?" Chu Xuan couldn't help but think to himself.

Based on Xiao Luowei's description, Chu Xuan felt that everything about how he met Xiao Luowei in this dream each time seemed to have been prearranged.

"It's like a movie that has already been released; my dream evolves it, substituting one of the characters, causing slight changes in some plot points. But under the influence of some rule, the final main storyline remains roughly the same. I am merely participating, not changing it... could it be like this?"

At this moment, a violent storm stirred in Chu Xuan's mind.

"My dreams are independent each time; this has never changed. Just like how I have met Xinyue Fox multiple times in dreams to sell goods and collect spirit money, yet she is always as she was when she first met me, acting according to the script I had long since laid out...

"It's just that because Xiao Luowei has recognized me every time, I mistakenly thought that the dreams here were continuous.

"But in reality, the reason for this is that I replaced a certain character in the 'movie.' Everything I did seemed to be of my own volition, yet I was unconsciously following the 'movie plot'...

"And it is precisely because this 'movie' had already 'released'—it is a past event, not a current, real scene—that no matter how many people I kill here, I cannot properly gain any spirituality value..."

Chu Xuan did not know if his conjecture was correct, but it should be close to the truth.

"Then, why did I come here? What is the meaning of experiencing all this? Within these few dreams, what have I gained? And what changes have occurred in reality because of this?"

As these questions surfaced in his mind, Chu Xuan already began to list the answers.

First, under the tempering of Xiao Luowei's Divine Ability [Bloody Rain and Windy Storm], his strength attribute had increased significantly, reaching 180 points, and he had also acquired the [Unconstrained] trait, causing his combat power to soar.

Second, in the real Tianxing Mountains, when he encountered that Specter-transformed Dragon Turtle, which was comparable to a heaven-supporting mountain, an unparalleled aura of The Gloom swept over him, causing a strange consciousness within his body to awaken, nearly resulting in his body being occupied and replaced.

Because he had been here in his dreams, Chu Xuan recognized the entity's identity. It wasn't until he shouted "The Dragon Turtle" that the creature finally awakened, thus resolving the crisis.

Finally, in the previous dream, Chu Xuan had obtained the Divine Ability [Tracing Cause and Effect] through Xiao Luowei and used it to slay Revelation. Although it was only a substitute, this was the foundation for killing the actual entity later.

If not for this Art of Karma, finding the entity would have been difficult.

These three points were each an indispensable and important gain for Chu Xuan.

"Looking at it this way, the random teleportation scroll... is truly not random at all!"

Chu Xuan suddenly smiled.

The reason he was able to come here was precisely because of the random teleportation scroll, and this special item had come from the exclusive mission to save the Child of the World, Lin Jie.

The Purifier's exclusive mission!

Besides that, this place was also his dream.

Linking this to the fact that this was the past Cangyun World, and that the Cangyun World at that time had already been preparing to invade—and that Yang Yu had long known of this through the guidance of destiny and had planned ahead to counterattack the Cangyun World—

At this moment, Chu Xuan once again thought of a phrase that [Future Tang Zheng] had mentioned many times.

"The game of worlds, the collision of rules..." Chu Xuan murmured internally. It was like this with the Dark World, and perhaps it was the same with the Cangyun World.

"In that case, there is one last question: The Dragon Turtle in reality still remembers me and even called out my name..."

Chu Xuan pondered slightly: "Is it because I came to the past of the Cangyun World in my dream... that I changed the perception of The Dragon Turtle in reality due to my own actions? This seems unlikely, but what if some kind of rule is involved?

Just like when I completed the mission at St. Lianna Hospital, completely depriving those Specters of the death rules they should never have possessed; if I had failed, all Specters would have mastered the death rules."

With this thought, Chu Xuan took a deep look at The Dragon Turtle affectionately rubbing against his feet and murmured: "There shouldn't be any useless coincidences... So, when the counterattack against the Cangyun World happens soon, what role will The Dragon Turtle in reality play?"

Besides this, what special significance is there in being able to come here to see Xiao Luowei again this time?

"Benefactor, this sword is named Blood-Slayer; it was refined with my entire cultivation, and today, I gift it to you." Xiao Luowei raised the sword in her hand, her tone exceptionally serious: "Your Realm has fallen, and if you encounter strong enemies again, having this sword will give you a better chance of winning."

Chu Xuan suddenly looked up.
