Chapter 78: A Dream of Four Years Like an Illusion

  "Tongtian Laozu is too terrifying, he actually invaded the Ice and Fire Spirit Realm to find you on his own initiative, it's simply...". After listening to Luoying's description, Xue Yuxuan felt that Tongtian Laozu was too frightening.

  "Are you scared? You haven't seen that bastard's more terrifying side yet." Rakushin continued to recall, narrating in a complex tone: "At the time, over 900 students were being played with like pawns by that guy, and when dozens of teachers from the school arrived to capture him, they were no match for him. The old ancestor Tongtian was too powerful, with flames surrounding his body, standing in mid-air, crazily condensing, and symbols filling the sky, forming one array after another, all of which were traps and attacks everywhere, making it impossible for dozens of teachers to move an inch, and anyone who moved would be punished. The old ancestor Tongtian chased our school's dozens of teachers away, with him alone pursuing them."

  "Say that, Luoying imitated Tongtian Laozu's tone and shouted: "Damn you, since you're here, don't run away, roll back!"

  Xue Xiangyun was stunned, that was dozens of teachers, and they were all from the Central Academy, yet they were being chased and beaten by Tongtian Laozu alone.

  "Do you know? If it weren't for the timely arrival of the elder scholars from the academy, I'm afraid those dozens of teachers would have been defeated there."

  "The elder of the Central Academy is profound and unfathomable in his cultivation, he should be able to subdue Tong Tian's old ancestor."

  "At that time, more than a dozen elders joined forces to take action, and that Tongtian Old Ancestor was indeed extremely arrogant, not even running away. He stood there, facing off against the dozen or so elders head-on. You didn't see that scene, heavens! It was too terrifying. Do you know what kind of magnificent sight it was when the symbols rained down from the sky to form 9,999 identical arrays? Do you know what kind of scene it was when these 9,999 arrays flashed and rotated simultaneously? That bastard was too frightening, too crazy."

  "Tongtian Laozu, that bastard, had a battle with over ten elders that was astonishing and moved the gods. In the end, that bastard somehow used more than 9,000 formations to create some kind of terrifying grand formation, which actually triggered an anomaly in the Ice Fire Spirit Realm."

  "What mutation? What mutation?" Xue Yiwen listened with a thrilling heart, as if she was there in person.

  "I don't know what specific changes occurred, but I do know that the Ice and Fire Spirit Realm was thrown into turmoil, with the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering. The order within the Spirit Realm was completely disrupted, and during its reorganization, flames and shooting stars descended from the sky, while the seas on the ground froze into ice. As fire and ice intertwined, the big shots of the Academy arrived on the scene to maintain order in the Spirit Realm, while also hunting down Tong Tian Lao Zu. My sister and I joined the hunt as well."

  "After chasing and hunting for many, many days, everyone thought that Tongtian Laozu had escaped. In fact, they didn't know that Tongtian Laozu hadn't escaped at all, but rather was hiding in a strange place."

  "What a strange place?"

  "What was that place, I'm still not clear to this day, all I remember is that at the time my sister and I were chasing after Tongtian Laozu's whereabouts, suddenly it was like falling into an abyss, then we unfortunately but fortunately met Tongtian Laozu. Unfortunately, because my sister and I found ourselves inexplicably unable to move, as if our bodies weren't our own. You know? At the time, I almost peed in fear! The opponent was Tongtian Laozu who had single-handedly defeated over 900 people! However, it's also good that we were lucky, because the opposing Tongtian Laozu seemed to be unable to move either."

  "What's next? Are you just going to stare at each other like this?"

  "Later... the things that happened later, I, Luoying, will never forget for this lifetime, that unforgettable experience is really...". Just as she was saying this, Luoying suddenly closed her eyes, her enchanting face showing a complex expression, seemingly resentful, hateful, nostalgic and sorrowful.

  "What exactly happened." Xue Yiwen was extremely puzzled.

  Later, for some reason, my soul was like it had left my body. I only remembered a tearing pain, and then I came to another world, a magical world, a world completely different from ours. My soul seemed to have entered the body of an unfamiliar woman. But actually, she wasn't unfamiliar. After getting used to her for a while, I found that her life trajectory and habits were almost identical to mine, even down to eating habits and dressing style. I desperately searched for a way back, but it was useless - I had no idea how to return. Later, I gradually gave up hope and accepted my new identity and life. Here, I learned and grew. In the second year, I met a man, and I fell deeply in love with him at first sight. From acquaintance to understanding, from affection to love, I loved him with all my heart. But he was indifferent, treating me coldly one moment and warmly the next. When he thought of me, he would cherish me, but when he disliked me, he wouldn't even bother with me for a month or even a year.

  "How could this be? Your soul actually left your own body and went to the body of a strange woman in another world? And lived there for several years, and even met a man?" Xue Yiwen felt that this was too incredible, incredibly dreamlike, and asked: "What happened next..."

  "Later... hehe..." Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly and smiled, saying in a low voice: "The man I met was very mysterious. I lived in that world for four years and loved him for four years. I don't know how many times I cried for him. In the end, I couldn't bear his occasional disappearances, his mystery, his coldness, his hot and cold attitude. When we parted ways, that man said one sentence to me."

  "What's up?"

  "He told me that he wasn't from this world, but from another one called Xuan Huang. He was a wanted man in that world because of a fight between the Little Spirit Realm and the Central Academy, and his soul somehow crossed over to here."

  "My goodness! My goodness! My goodness!"

  Xue Xiang's expression was terrified, her beautiful eyes wide open, as if she had seen a fierce ghost. She exclaimed repeatedly: "Luo Ying, you're saying... that the man you loved for four years in that strange world is actually... Tong Tian Lao Zu?"

  "Do you know? When he said this to me, I felt like the sky was falling down. I almost numbly asked him if he was Tongtian Laozu, and he shockingly asked me how I knew that name."

  "My goodness!"

  It's not that Xue Yaoyao has a poor capacity for endurance, but rather that the events of Lu Qing's life are too strange and astonishing, truly unheard of.

  "And then!"

  "Then... I woke up, and in that instant, my soul returned, back to this world, inside the body that belongs to me. Everything seemed like a dream, as if it had only lasted for an instant."

  "Is it really just a dream?"

  "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I can no longer tell them apart, because the memories are too vivid. Even now, I can still recall every detail of those four years in that world - every word I said, every word he said, what he liked and disliked, all etched in my mind with perfect clarity. Four years of dreams, true and false, real and unreal, like a dream, like an illusion."

  "My goodness, this is also too unbelievable." Xue Yiwen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

  And it's not just me who has experienced such unbelievable and dreamlike things, my older sister has also gone through strange experiences. What exactly happened to her, I don't know, but after waking up from the dream, she looked very painful and sad, staring at Tongtian Laozu with a gaze of love and hate intertwined, asking him if it was all real.

  "At that time, Tongtian Laozu still had a flame-like illusion surrounding him, but I could feel that he was also shocked. He asked us if we were really true."

  "Do you know? When I heard his tone of voice, I was even more certain that he was the bastard I had loved for four years, because that uncertain and surprised tone was almost exactly the same... At that time, I hated him so much that I wanted to rush up and cut him into pieces, because in my dreams, I had been intimate with that guy... with him... countless times! Unfortunately, when we found out that we could move, that guy had already run away without a trace, just like in the dream, he disappeared without a shadow."

  "Are you guys' souls really crossing over or is it just a dream?"

  "I don't know, I really don't know, and neither does my sister. Perhaps our souls have truly crossed over, or perhaps it was just a seven-year dream." Lu Ying's expression turned sorrowful as she continued, "In the past few years, in order to investigate the whereabouts of Tong Tian Lao Zu, my sister has been drifting outside for nearly three years and still hasn't returned. She's always searching for that scoundrel Tong Tian Lao Zu."

  "Do you know where he is?"

  "There's no... that bastard is too mysterious, every time he appears there are flames illusions surrounding him, making it impossible to investigate, and he hasn't appeared in two years, without a single clue. However, my sister and I came up with a not-so-good plan."

  Sakura fell from the table, her emotions obviously calmed down a lot, and said: "My soul crossed into another woman's body, I believe Tongtian Laozu is the same, maybe his appearance is different, but his personality won't change, because in my dreams I met him, got to know him, fell in love with him for four whole years, I understand that guy too well, even if I forgot what kind of person I am, I won't forget what kind of scoundrel he is."

  "Based on my and my sister's inference, Tong Tian Lao Zu himself is absolutely not over thirty years old. That guy has always been very carefree in dealing with things, including love. On the surface, he looks cold and indifferent, as if everything doesn't matter to him. In reality, his heart is like a raging fire. If you don't touch his bottom line, it's fine, but once you do, he will become very terrifying, terrifying to the point of being reckless and not caring about any consequences. As his friend, you'll feel very lucky, but as his enemy, you'll definitely know what terror is."

  "As a friend, he's an extremely competent friend, but as a lover, he's a complete and utter asshole, an unfeeling and ruthless asshole, a male chauvinist pig of an asshole, an extremely irresponsible asshole, an asshole who loves to play disappearing acts, an expert at giving the cold shoulder, an asshole who can melt people with his warmth and freeze them with his coldness, a stark naked extreme split personality."

  Sakura took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her chest heaved with an unstable rhythm, as if suppressing the furious flames within. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Yuan Xiang, if you know of any man with such a personality, please tell me - it's highly likely that he is Tong Tian Lao Zu."

  "Are you going to follow Tongtian Laozu's character? Is there no other clue?"

  "However, there is still one clue, if you know anyone related to the two words 'Tian Xie', be sure to tell me."

  "Scorpion? What does it mean? Is it also related to Tongtian Laozu?"

  "It should be related, what specific connection I don't know, older sister based on her memory in the dream always felt that these two words have some connection with that bastard."
