Chapter 858: The True Feather (1/2)

“In your dream, I used a soybean to summon you to my side and place you under my command, is that it?” Lu Yun asked carefully when he saw the golden-armored man. He could clearly identify the man’s cultivation and strength—divine king!

Amid the hundred million celestial soldiers, their weakest was at the divine king realm. The man in front of him was already peak divine king realm and one step away from entering the empyrean realm.

“Correct!” The golden-armored man nodded heavily. “I am a divine king and stand guard at the center of the cosmos, so I have no need for sleep, nor can I indulge in it. However, I really do dream sometimes.”

While the conversation was going on, Bai Zhaoju looked blankly at Lie Shan. He could distinctly feel that the boy’s energy was now at peak empyrean realm! The human youth was only half a step away from the chaos realm!

How could a little cultivator stymied by a flock of Bi Fang suddenly turn into a master expert of combat arts like this??

“What was your dream like?” Lu Yun took in a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the golden-armored man. He didn’t have attention to spare for Bai Zhaoju.

“We were all dead… dead from battle here and became yin gods of heaven and earth. We either drifted mindlessly through the cosmos, or entered a place called the Green Firmament. As for you… you could awaken our minds with a soybean and bring us to you.”

The muscular man’s gaze at Lu Yun sharpened with urgency. “Is that the future?! Was this domain of space overrun?! Did all life in the great wilderness and stars perish?”

“Yes.” Lu Yun nodded. “In the future, you are all dead. But at the same time, the realm monsters are also no more. They don’t exist in the future.”

A simple grin floated onto the man’s face. “That’s good, that’s very good. As long as there aren’t any realm monsters anymore!”

Lu Yun didn’t find it odd that the golden-armored man could dream of the future. This was someone chosen by the Tome of Life and Death to be a bean soldier. The book seemed to be a divine object that was ever present and could ignore the confines of time.

Bai Zhaoju walked up to them with a dazed expression. “Lie Shan… so you really are from the future… Does this mean Fuxi succeeded?! He successfully went to the future and brought you back??”

Before he received an answer, he slapped his hands over his mouth in horror and promptly destroyed his recollection of the past couple moments. The golden-armored general did so as well.

The implications of this were far too important. The future was something inexplicable and unfathomable for current lifeforms, but Lie Shan was from the future. Everything he knew was incontrovertible and couldn’t be changed. He knew how everything would play out.

Lu Yun was also aware of this and had used a combat art to isolate the vicinity while they were conversing. No one, not even chaos realm powerhouses, would be able to eavesdrop on what was going on here.

Xing Chen was a body of heaven and earth that incorporated the five organs of the world and another three ultimate connate treasures. Though he was just at the empyrean realm, his true battle strength could very likely destroy some of the weaker connate demon gods.

“A great master of combat arts has come. I shall report this to the commander!” Though the golden-armored man had destroyed a strand of his memory, Lu Yun’s identity was apparent. Of that there could be no doubt or modification.

“No need, White Emperor and I will head into the sea of flames.” Lu Yun waved a hand.
