240: They were reincarnated together?

Burenren? What is that?

Everyone was stunned by Lin Yan's sudden exclamation of surprise.

Soon, they immediately followed his gaze.

Is he talking about Black Ice and the others?

Shi Yuan and the others' brows twitched, and they immediately spoke.

"Lin Yan, do you know the origin of our current attire?"

The origin of the attire?

Lin Yan paused, his thoughts racing.

"Did you enter some Secret Realm, encounter some transparent light shadows, and then undergo these changes?"

Shi Yuan and the others didn't mind that he hadn't answered directly; instead, they all said with pleasant surprise.

"Correct. After we were inexplicably brought here from Blue Star, we encountered a group of light shadows wearing bamboo hats and black clothes."

"They didn't seem to be living species. After scanning us with scrutinizing gazes, they suddenly drilled into our bodies."

"Immediately after, our bodies and cultivation changed."

"Since we didn't find any adverse conditions over the past half year, we didn't think much more about it."

"Is that what you called Burenren?"

"Is that their name?"

Hearing these voices, a hint of hesitation flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and he nodded.

"Yes."

Shi Yuan and the others looked enlightened.

"So they are called Burenren."

"Is it the name of an organization within the Starry Sky Human Race?"

Lin Yan nodded silently.

He really didn't know how to answer.

Although there was indeed an organization called Burenren in history, looking at Shi Yuan and the others' current situation, they clearly resembled the 'state-owned enterprise underworld' from a Chinese anime.

So, Chinese anime characters have manifested in this world?

Involuntarily, a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

Doesn't that mean there's a chance to meet that man who has been handsome for three hundred years in the future?

Just then.

Xia Zhou and the others looked at each other and began to recount their experiences one after another.

"I also came here inexplicably and encountered a troop of cavalry riding white horses."

Jiang Mobai shrugged. "Same here. I encountered a troop of saber-wielding cavalry clad in black armor."

Once everyone from Blue Star finished speaking, Lin Yan was even more shaken.

If he couldn't make a judgment about the Huben Army encountered by the Flame Guards, then what Xia Zhou and the others described was far too specific.

White Horse Volunteers... Han Cavalry... Flying Tiger Army... Ruishi... Mo Dao Army... Zhao Border Cavalry... Beiwei Army, and so on... Someone even encountered the Wei Wu Soldiers. It could be said that almost every famous legion from China's five thousand years of history was included!

What a terrifying concept!

While his mind was reeling.

Lian Chuan and Xue Cheng, who had been silent, looked at each other.

"Brother Yan..."

Hmm?

Lin Yan looked up, and seeing the hesitant expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but feel that they were about to reveal some earth-shattering secret.

He immediately waved his hand and established a soundproof barrier.

"Speak."

"Uh..." Lian Chuan looked at Gu Chen and Wu Ze, who were excluded. "Brother Yan, let the two of them in as well."

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and that feeling in his heart grew even stronger.

Under the puzzled gazes of Xia Zhou and the others, Gu Chen and Wu Ze were also instantly pulled into the barrier.

What's going on?

Shi Yuan and the others at least mentioned Burenren, but these guys haven't said anything yet.

Lin Yan stared at the four of them and took a light breath.

"Speak."

Lian Chuan glanced at the other three and rubbed his head.

"I'll go first."

"After I entered this Sui Xu Forbidden Domain, I arrived outside a massive city named Yanxi..."

A moment later.

"Brother Yan, I arrived at a city named Dingbei..." Xue Cheng took over.

"I was at Nanlin..."

"I was at Dongwang..."

Gu Chen and Wu Ze recounted in succession.

Finally, the four of them looked at each other and spoke of the same fleeting image that had flashed through their minds after entering the largest mansion in their respective cities.

The moment Lin Yan finished listening to the information they shared, his eyes trembled slightly.

He took a sudden step back, his eyes slowly lowering in disbelief as he looked at the place where the four of them were also focusing their gazes—the black and gold clothes he was wearing.

"This..."

Lin Yan was smart, and the four of them weren't stupid either. Their voices rose in unison, filled with complexity.

"We were playmates who grew up together in our previous lives... for some reason... we reincarnated together...?"

No! No! It can't be! It's a coincidence!

Lin Yan immediately denied it in his heart.

He remembered clearly, he had transmigrated! He had transmigrated from Earth to...!

His expression froze.

It was already certain!

Blue Star is Earth!

So how could there be any Transmigration?

He had been exiled by time! After Blue Star was brought to this other world, he was exiled by time and became an infant!

Combined with the fact that he had never heard of his parents in either his previous life or this one... Lin Yan gritted his teeth slightly, his face suddenly filled with complexity.

He began to believe it... and it was highly likely that his parents were important figures within the Ancient Immortal Court recorded in that booklet.

No wonder he felt such a familiar sense of closeness toward Lian Chuan, Xue Cheng, Gu Chen, and Wu Ze!

No wonder that Chinese legion he encountered in the Ancient Battlefield Secret Realm saluted him.

No wonder Blue Star would sublimate, have a protective barrier, and have all sorts of inconceivable fortuitous encounters.

It turns out the five of them were all descendants of the Ancient Immortal Court, arranged by their respective parents!

So, where are my parents now? Why?

Following that was Gu Chen, whose expression was equally complex.

So, there was no such thing as Rebirth.

It was nothing more than a journey deliberately arranged by parents.

So, where are my parents? Why?

Then, naturally, it was the equally complex feelings of Lian Chuan, Xue Cheng, and Wu Ze.

Lian Chuan and Xue Cheng were actually fine; after all, their personalities made them not particularly care about such things, and they had lived with Lin Yan since childhood.

At most, they just realized their families were so awesome! To be able to manipulate their life trajectories at will—what a powerful force that must be!

Wu Ze's eyes were helpless.

Fine, forget about doing all this, and fine, we've discovered it now.

He just wanted to say, could the elders of his family have put a little more heart into it back then!

From the images, it was clear that the five of them were roughly the same age.

But what was the result now? He was two years older than everyone else!

What the hell! How are we supposed to be brothers now? How should I address Lin Yan, whose status was clearly higher in the images?

...In a dim and hollow land filled with the aura of destruction, everything seemed to have lost its vitality and color, leaving only endless darkness and desolation.

"A-choo!"

A middle-aged man, whose mere presence caused the surrounding space and time to twist and shatter frantically, suddenly sneezed.

"Old Wu, can you freaking do this? Or should you just go home and sleep with your wife!" A mocking voice came as a bald, burly man swept past with a sneer.

"Hahaha... Exactly! Old Wu, if you really can't handle it, just say the word, and I'll leave these little brats to Old Lian and me!" The booming laughter of a middle-aged man with a stubbly face roared from a distance.

"If you three old fogies keep chatting, the 'grasshoppers' that slipped through are going to swallow the hongtian great dao!" A voice as cold and piercing as a sharp sword rolled in from ahead.

Instantly.

"Hey, hey, hey! Old Xue, don't be in such a hurry!"

"Brother Jue! Hurry up!"

"Coming, coming!"
