Chapter 406 – Reaction to Old Memories
”Why are they retreating!? They have the upper hands, right? Ji Ling fell back, and Guan Yu betrayed Yuan Shu. We could have capitalized this situation!”
Sima Yi did not understand the logic behind Zhang He's retreat order.
Soon, Zhang He's subordinates told the trainee group about Tong's decision.
”It was his majesty's direct decree to our grand commander. We can't violate his command.”
Sima Yi wanted to yell [Bullshit], but he refrained himself. Liu Xie and Wei Yan had the same thought.
As Zhang He noticed their discontent with Tong's order, he gathered the three at night and explained about the clan chat.
”You'll get invited to the clan soon. I think he'll take all of you next year, so you can learn many things from your seniors. You'll also be able to use the clan chat as we do.”
”What's this klon chak?”
Wei Yan smacked Sima Yi's head, ”It's called, cleaned shit.”
Liu Xie sighed, ”Guys, it's clan chat.”
”...”
Zhang He facepalmed, ”Clan chat. Anyway, once all of you are invited, your world understanding will definitely change. Also …”
Zhang He gazed into a distant at the direction of Xuchang in nostalgia, then he turned to Sima Yi with a bitter smile, thinking about the other timeline where Zhang He and Sima Yi worked together to suppress Zhuge Liang.
”You'll recall a bit of your mysterious memory, Zhongda.”
”…”

The wing power bestowal was a double-edged sword. Once someone had awakened to the cultivation method, whether it was angelic or the demonic one, they would obtain a soul and a fragment of their alternate timeline memories.
Tong had heard about the aftereffect when he gave Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang He a cultivation method. The three of them reported that they had strange dreams, which was a memory of their other life as Cao Cao's subordinate.
This side effect of a cultivation bestowal was something that even Diaochan and Dong Bai did not know. It appeared to be one of Lilim's secret, which she had excused that it was for completing this dimension.
It was a risky move since all generals under himself would recall their past life memory. Still, Tong was confident that the clan chat and his influence in this world should be able to override their loyalty toward their former lords.
At You Province, Zhao Yun received the side-effect in full swing.
After Zhao Yun obtained two wings, he was so glad that he forgot to rest. When he fell asleep later, Zhao Yun's memories from the other timeline flooded his dream.
The early career with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan,
The Battle at Changban where he rescued Liu Bei's son,
The vow that he gave to Liu Bei,
The life that he dedicated to Liu Bei,
The death of Liu Bei,
And the end of his life,
Everything came back to him.
Zhao Yun was in tears when he woke up. He sat still in his bed for hours, confused about what had happened.
Both memories of his current life and the other timeline conflicted, confusing Zhao Yun. He could not separate what reality was.
However, when he met the people of You Province and saw their smiling faces, he cried again.
He remembered why he served Liu Bei.
He also remembered why he was serving Tong.
He even recalled why he started fighting.
Everything was so simple that Zhao Yun of both worlds forgot what his goal was after he picked his lord.
”I start fighting … for the people!”
He decided that he would not switch side to Liu Bei, who kept running without contributing to the people in this world.
Zhao Yun was not the only one with a conflicted thought. All generals, such as Gao Lan, Zhou Cang, Taishi Ci, and many others, had recovered the other timeline's experience.
Everyone had a different reaction.
Zhou Cang touched his bald head and screamed at first. Then, he recalled that he was stronger than the last life, so he did not mind the change. Still, he missed Guan Yu and hoped that his former boss could join Tong, too.
Taishi Ci missed Sun Ce and their fateful duel in the Battle at Jiangdong. He regretted that he failed to live to see Sun Ce's younger brother thrived as the Wu Emperor. However, he favored this timeline as peace might be restored to the land sooner than the other world. Also, Tong tried to recruit the Sun Clan peacefully. Thus, he remained as Tong's subordinate, waiting for the day that Sun Ce and himself could reunite.
Tian Yu did not care whether he worked for Cao Cao or Tong. As long as he could keep the northern borders safe from Xianbei and Xiongnu, he was a happy man. As a result, his stance was unchanged.
Gao Lan and Han Hao were Cao Cao's former subordinates. Fortunately, they still worked with their former colleague, Zhang He, so they did not mind continuing fighting under Tong's banners.
Qu Yi was former Yuan Shao's subordinate. As he was killed by Yuan Shao in his previous life, he was glad that he picked Tong's side.
