We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 311

Chapter 311 The Dream of Master Dongxu

“My name is Wang Li, in the Spirit Transformation Stage.”

“My name is Wang Hongtu, in the Spirit Transformation Stage.”

“…Could you two be a little more perfunctory with your names?”

Originally, Master Dongxu, seeing Jiang Li’s generosity, had assumed he was the illegitimate child of someone in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

But then, he thought, that wasn’t right. Of the five current Tribulation Crossing Stage masters, Commander Liu was upright, Li Er was henpecked, and the Sword Lord had only been born a few years earlier; even if he had an illegitimate child, he wouldn’t have given birth so soon. Empress Yuyin didn’t even have a harem, so why would she need an illegitimate child?

So, the only

possibility was that this was Sect Master Bai Hongtu’s illegitimate child. But even that was highly unlikely. Who would make such a public announcement about their illegitimate child, fearing that no one would know their identity?

If a illegitimate child’s identity could be made public, why would they still call him a illegitimate child?

More importantly, the fact that one of them was named Wang Li and the other Wang Hongtu was clearly a pseudonym, a change of surname.

“Human Emperor, it has been five hundred years since we last met,” Master Dongxu bowed respectfully.

Ever since Jiang Li failed the secret realm test five hundred years ago, Master Dongxu hadn’t seen Jiang Li again.

“Master Bai.” Master Dongxu and Bai Hongtu rarely met.

Master Dongxu was a free cultivator, while Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were the rulers of some of the most powerful factions. Their interactions were rare.

Even the Jiuzhou Council wouldn’t summon a free cultivator in the Fusion Stage to a meeting.

The primary reason was that they were difficult to find.

With the younger generation gone, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu simply gave up the pretense.

“Master Dongxu has excellent eyesight. He saw through our carefully fabricated identities at a glance!” Bai Hongtu openly admitted his identity.

Master Dongxu felt like he was blind to see through these two’s lame disguises.

“Human Emperor, your luck is truly beyond words.” Master Dongxu smiled wryly. The test five hundred years ago involved randomly selecting a fruit and then having it spit out its seeds. Whoever

finished spitting out the seeds first would win. Some chose apples, some pears, some watermelons, and still others dragon fruit.

Jiang Li’s choice was the dragon fruit, and by the end, he was spitting out the seeds so hard he could barely speak.

Five hundred years had passed, and his strength had risen to the Great Perfection stage, but his luck hadn’t changed at all.

Master Dongxu’s ability to judge people by their luck was still quite accurate, except for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li speculated that the system from five hundred years ago might be able to somehow help him win.

“What’s the final reward? A magical treasure, or a rare treasure?” Bai Hongtu felt that if it was something so ordinary, he wouldn’t take it.

He didn’t need it, and he felt embarrassed to take it.

“No, I want to tell you the truth about the world.” Master Dongxu was only at the Fusion Stage, yet his boast of seeing the truth seemed ridiculous.

But Master Dongxu’s serious attitude made it clear he wasn’t joking.

“I’d like to hear more.” The two stopped laughing and sat on the stone bench, listening quietly to what Master Dongxu had to say.

Master Dongxu had assumed that his strength was too low and that such words would only be ridiculed, but he hadn’t expected these two to actually listen to him.

“The reason I choose to believe in fate comes from my dreams.”

“Dreams?” Bai Hongtu had little knowledge of dreams.

“Yes, I’ve had dreams since I was a child. Very real dreams.” Master Dongxu nodded sincerely, confirming that he wasn’t lying.

“I was born in a small sect. My father was the sect’s grand elder. I successfully grew up in the sect, then left the sect to travel across the Nine Provinces, eventually reaching the Fusion Stage.”

“When I was a child, I had a dream in which I died in my mother’s womb.”

“After waking up, I asked my mother if this had happened. She said that she was seriously injured when she was pregnant with me and thought I would die. Unexpectedly, my father successfully found an elixir, healed my mother, and allowed me to be born alive.”

“Before the dream, I had no idea this happened.”

“I also dreamed that our sect was wiped out by a hostile force, and I unfortunately died.”

“After investigating, I found that a hostile force had indeed intended to destroy our sect, but the day before, they had provoked a powerful figure, who took action to eliminate that force, and our sect was spared from a surprise attack.”

“I also dreamed that I accidentally fell off a cliff and died at the bottom. The feeling of death was very realistic.”

“And a few days before the dream, I was walking on a cliff and was stunned for a moment. I almost stepped on air, but fortunately, I reacted in time and escaped harm.”

“After the dream, I kept feeling unsafe, so I went to take a look at the cliff below. The scenery was exactly the same as in my dream, and I’d never been down a cliff before.”

“Can you imagine how I felt? I was practically going insane!” Master Dongxu was furious. He’d nearly died in reality, and in his dream, he’d actually died.

It was as if fate was mocking him, saying, “So what if you were lucky enough to escape once? There’s always a day you can’t escape.

You’re bound to die. “

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu suddenly thought of Yu Feng.

“Then, I went crazy with my training, but luckily I suppressed it.”

“A few days later, I dreamed that after going crazy, I went down the mountain to kill someone. A great monk saw me and killed me with one strike.”

“After investigating, I found that the monk had actually passed by the foot of the mountain, right when I was going crazy.”

It would have been fine if it was just a coincidence, but when you keep dreaming about things you didn’t know about, it’s hard to justify it as a coincidence

. “Eerie” is a more appropriate word.

“I also dreamed of an extraterritorial demon attacking and killing me.”

“But in reality, it was Emperor Lu who appeared and saved me.”

“Besides that, I have many similar dreams, and each one ends with my death. The dreams are so vivid, it’s as if I had actually died.”

“So, I feel that being alive until now is pure luck. Fate determines everything. No matter how strong you are, you can’t defeat fate.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were lost in thought, pondering the cause of Master Dongxu’s dream.

They hadn’t heard of such a thing either.

“I was just wondering, could there be other worlds? My other self died in those other worlds, and the reflection would come back to me, forming a dream.”

“Other worlds?” Jiang Li frowned. The other worlds Master Dongxu was referring to certainly weren’t the ordinary universe.

“Are you talking about parallel worlds?” Jiang Li recalled a hypothesis mentioned by Sumi Buddha.

Sumi Buddha said that it’s possible for a world like Jiuzhou to exist. For example, when there’s a choice between A and B, if we in Jiuzhou choose A and we in the parallel world choose B, then a difference will arise between Jiuzhou and the parallel world.

Master Dongxu meant that he was still alive in Jiuzhou, but dead in the parallel world.

“Yes, parallel world! The Human Emperor’s term is very accurate!” Master Dongxu slapped his thigh. He had been struggling with what to call the world where he died, and he hadn’t expected the Human Emperor to use the term “parallel world.”

Sumi Buddha’s parallel world hypothesis had no basis, so he hadn’t publicized it, only sharing it with a few close friends.
