Chapter 170 Extra + The Heavenly Snow Lotus Wants to Become an Immortal 1 ...

The group's gazes froze, and at the same time, a hint of interest arose in them. "I wonder how far technology has advanced in her world?" Clearly, Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo were more concerned about the level of scientific development than about emotional matters.

How wonderful it would be if we could learn things from other dimensions that don't exist in this world.

This was such an absurd thing that, with Qin Boyuan's permission, a group of people who studied magnetic fields and brainwaves began to investigate what made him different from normal people. In the end, they did find something amiss.

He possessed an unknown power, which had no harmful force, yet its presence was unmistakable. It was likely this power that connected him to the dreams of people from a parallel universe.

This unknown force is called the spacetime medium by a group of people.

"It's weakening now, which means the dream is fading away."

"It's strange. I have a feeling that this force isn't accidental, but rather targeted. It doesn't seem random; it's more like something is controlling it." If that's the case, it's terrifying.

While they were fruitless in their research, someone actually managed to connect the powers of two different timelines—something no ordinary person could do. If it wasn't someone from that timeline, then who could it be?

Zhang Mo: "No matter what, these people behind the scenes are helping us and have no ill intentions towards us." Chi Boyan discussed medical matters with her, and Qin Boyuan obtained various treatment methods for diseases from her, which is a good thing for Huaguo.

Even after hearing that he and Fang Yihuai in a parallel universe had both fallen in love with the same person, he remained extremely calm.

The only pity is that the people in her dream don't share her real memories; otherwise, perhaps they could know how that world is developing.

At this moment, Qin Boyuan asked, "Is there a way to preserve this spacetime medium?" Knowing that this unknown power was gradually disappearing, he was somewhat quiet, but still asked the question.

Zhang Mo shook his head. "There's no way. If I had six years, I might be able to develop it, but it's absolutely impossible in a short time. This power far exceeds the power of this dimension, and ordinary things simply cannot contain it."

"But you could try asking her; maybe she knows a solution." The passage of time in dreams is random. Six years in reality might only require one dream for her.

Since she was able to participate in those studies, her abilities must be quite strong; what he couldn't do, she might be able to do.

I just don't know if she'd be willing.

Because of this, the two timelines began to communicate. Zhang Mo, Fang Yihuai, and others handed over the data they had observed and recorded in this world to Qin Boyuan for him to write down, and then told Lin Wei through a dream.

Ask Lin Wei for help in finding a solution.

Because it was truly interesting, she readily cooperated. The huge pile of data and draft paper on the table were all her calculations, densely packed and quite impressive.

As Qin Boyuan watched her intently studying this unknown medium, he wondered to himself, "Will she succeed?"

The answer is, of course, yes.

If Zhang Mo could figure it out in a certain amount of time, why couldn't she? But Lin Wei looked at the final result, didn't show it to him, and tore it up directly.

"Some things, once discovered, are not necessarily a good thing. My intuition tells me that you mean trouble. I don't need anyone else in my dreams, so I'm sorry." She smiled as she looked at Qin Boyuan's gaze.

No one knew what she had foreseen, because the dream shattered the next second.

Unlike before when I was forced to exit the dream but was able to re-enter, this time it's truly over.

At the Flower Country Research Institute, a group of people watched in shock as the spacetime medium on Qin Boyuan's body completely disappeared. "Impossible! At this rate of disappearance, it should have been there for a while longer. How could it suddenly vanish?"

Zhang Mo said, "What did you think she finally figured out, but then tore it up? I'm afraid she discovered something in the end." He was saying this to Qin Boyuan. That dream was originally her dream, so it was normal for her to be able to control the dream if she discovered something.

However, they were too hasty in the end. Placing their hopes on her was inherently risky, and clearly, she wasn't going to play along with them.

What I fear most is that the dream I initially guessed might fall on him and Fang Yihuai will also be lost.

So, what exactly did she discover?

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, Lin Wei, upon waking up this time, possessed the memories from her dream. She hadn't expected to almost be tricked by the consciousness of another world. "It's quite kind to its chosen ones, but not to this world. It even tried to force her into a marriage with someone from another world." If she hadn't realized what was happening, she didn't know how long she would have been entangled with them in her dream.

However, Tian Ran didn't gain nothing. Her subconscious ability to seek advantage and avoid harm made her say her name. In this world, she did good deeds under the identity of Lin Wei, and since it was a transaction, the merits of saving people didn't fall on her. But in another time and space, it was different. She developed those drugs. All things considered, she actually came out ahead.

I don't know what the consciousness of that world was thinking. They weren't together in this world, so why would it think they would be together in a parallel world?

She admitted that when she was Lin Wei, she did have some affection for them, but that was only natural. It's normal to develop feelings of affection when surrounded by such outstanding people. However, more important than emotions was the country. They, including herself, had all chosen their own paths, and they would never regret those paths.

So although they are parallel worlds, they are different when they experience different things. They are all different individuals, but they are also the closest to the world that the original owner lived in.

"Now you can finally rest assured." Tian Ran said this to the original owner of the body. Perhaps she would rather see the perfection of another time and space than the perfection of this world.

A "thank you" drifted through the air, almost like an illusion.

The real Lin Wei never disappeared, and she experienced everything that Tian Ran went through for her from a first-person perspective. It turns out she could do that too.

She told her that greater love is more important than personal love; as long as you try, there may not be a result, but you won't be too far off. There are dark places in this world, but there are also people mending and patching things up.

Watching her fill her grandfather's teeth, give her uncles and cousins ​​jobs, help her aunt in her old age, research medicine to save many people, serve the country, and revolutionize the medical industry, she accomplished things that others could not.

That's great, the last bit of regret has dissipated.

*

When Tian Ran returned to the Quick Transmigration Bureau after completing the mission, she thought she would only receive the 100,000 points that had been promised at the beginning. However, this was not the case. She stared wide-eyed at the fact that she had an extra million points in her account.

"One million? How could it be so much? Could they have given the wrong amount?"

At this moment, the original owner's remaining consciousness came out to explain, "It was originally 100,000 points, but I am very satisfied with your performance."

"Thank you for showing me that there are different possibilities." So she can live like this too, relying on herself, not on others.

She saw Tian Ran's efforts. Although Tian Ran had the system space to assist her, she knew her own intelligence and it was not easy even so. Therefore, she deserved these points.

After Tian Ran watched her disappear after saying those words, she knew that she had gone to be reincarnated. Logically speaking, since she made a deal with the Quick Transmigration Bureau, her next life would definitely not be any better. But who told her to help her gain so much merit? So, with the merits and demerits canceling each other out, it was still possible for her to live a peaceful and smooth life.

Thinking about it this way, the million points were indeed rightfully hers. Tian Ran looked at the points and grinned like an idiot. One mission could earn her a million points. If every mission was like this, how rich would she be?

So the next second her gaze shifted to the task list in front of her.

The main reason was that she had too many points, and she couldn't resist continuing to do tasks, since more work meant more rewards.

Seeing that the quest "The Heavenly Snow Lotus Who Aspires to Immortality but Is Entangled in Karma" that he had seen before was still there, Tian Ran clicked on it almost without hesitation.

Then a memory flooded into my mind.

My name is Zhang Xuelian. I am a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains that has cultivated for ten thousand years. I dream of becoming an immortal, but the Heavenly Dao is too ruthless towards the demon race, leaving no chance of survival. The nine hundred and ninety-nine tribulations of ascension to immortality directly shattered my tens of thousands of years of cultivation, almost destroying my soul. If I hadn't jumped into a spatial rift, I would have been killed by the tribulation long ago.

At that time, I thought that the Great Dao was fifty and the Heavenly Cycle was forty-nine, and there would always be a chance for survival. This spatial rift was my chance for survival. However, I was right, but I was also wrong. There was a chance for survival, but I took the wrong path.

That spatial rift leads to an alien world called Blue Star. There's no cultivation, no spiritual energy; it seems like a world abandoned by the gods. But is that really the truth? No. A world consciousness exists there, and it's terrifyingly powerful. Although I don't know why the people there can't cultivate, as an outsider, I've become its primary target for extermination.

How could someone who had already destroyed most of their foundation and was seriously injured by the Heavenly Tribulation of Ascension escape the pursuit of a world consciousness?

So I took the shortcut.

The voice gradually grew heavy.

I encountered a woman who looked exactly like me. She was dead, and I wanted to use her identity to deceive the heavens and gain a way to live. But I forgot that when you take her place, all the karma she carried will be transferred to you. The only thing I didn't expect was that she had committed too many sins, so many that I, already severely injured, couldn't bear it. I could only watch as I was rejected by the spiritual energy.

At this point, the original owner's voice couldn't help but become a little excited.

That person bullied other girls, causing one to jump off a building, then accidentally hit and killed someone with their car, framed others, causing them to become disabled, and even caused many people in the factory to die because of her in order to save money. So many lives were piled up on her shoulders.

So much so that people who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years and absorbed spiritual energy for thousands of years never imagined that they would one day be rejected by spiritual energy.

Because I couldn't absorb spiritual energy, my injuries worsened. Despite my efforts to eliminate these karmic obstacles, my body wouldn't allow it, nor would her enemies. So I died—in prison, in their revenge.

Even if she was once a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains that had cultivated for ten thousand years, so what? Without the nourishment of spiritual energy and burdened by karmic obstacles, she still ended up with her soul scattered.

She was not afraid of losing money, fame, or status, but she regretted that her lifelong obsession had become impossible because of a single wrong decision.

If possible, help me become an immortal; I no longer want that person's identity.

She couldn't escape the pursuit of the world's consciousness, but she believed this visitor from another world could.

After reading through these memories, Tian Ran felt that this Tianshan Snow Lotus was a bit unlucky. It was one thing to fail the Ascension Tribulation, but logically, if she escaped and cultivated diligently, she could eventually become an immortal again as long as she lived long enough. However, who would have thought that she would encounter such a pitfall as Ji Jiao.

Even though they have never done anything wrong, they have been unfairly blamed and can't shake off the blame.

However, it's not entirely true that she was without fault. If she hadn't used the identity of a deceased person, things wouldn't have turned out this way. It's just that every cause has its effect, and everything is interconnected.

This time it was a little simpler than the last. I clearly told her not to use that person's identity or to become an immortal.

It doesn't sound too difficult.

Who made the system space have the merit-based godhood and fortune-based godhood systems? As long as you follow the system's guidance, why worry about not becoming an immortal? You can even become a god.

However, as soon as Tian Ran appeared in the mission world, before she could even think about which system to use, she felt a wave of weakness wash over her, as if she were about to faint at any moment.

However, what made her even more nervous than this feeling was the sense of impending danger that flashed before her eyes. The next second, she took a step back, and a bolt of lightning struck the snow directly.

"Holy crap, is it that ruthless?" Tian Ran glanced at the sky and saw dark clouds rapidly gathering and landing on his head.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? Everywhere else there's a clear blue sky, but the sky above her head is a dark, heavy patch.

Seeing bolts of lightning striking him down, Tian Ran ran as fast as he could, but he was still struck several times and coughed up blood.

"No, if this continues, I'll be struck down by it before I even become an immortal." At this moment, she finally understood why the original owner could see Li Jiao, deceive the heavens, and borrow her identity. Because if she hadn't borrowed her identity, she probably wouldn't have survived until today.

And now, she was the unlucky one. While dodging, Tian Ran wondered what to do. The Luck-to-God System—within several miles, who would absorb her luck? Besides, absorbing luck wasn't something you could just do anywhere. Then she thought of the Merit-to-God System. She had gained quite a bit of merit in her previous world, but she didn't know if it would be of any use.

However, at this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down, and Tian Ran's hand trembled, causing him to accidentally tap the Fortune Godhood System, a look of despair appearing in his eyes.

My life is over.

Fortunately, her soul was strong enough; if it were the original owner of this body, she would have been killed long ago. And perhaps because she ran in a different direction, she didn't see a single person along the way, let alone the person who looked exactly like her.

Just as Tian Ran thought she had died before she even got started, struck by lightning and killed before she could complete her mission, she suddenly saw a person lying in the distance with overwhelming luck. Before she could even think, she went straight for him.

The bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, severing her soul from her body. Tian Ran could only remain inside his consciousness, too afraid to leave.

A snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain, having lost its cultivation and its soul, took root weakly in the snow, half-dead. But precisely because it no longer possessed spiritual energy or external influences, the heavenly lightning only targeted those who possessed other people's bodies.

Thunderclaps roared in the sky, but out of fear that its chosen one was still below, it dared not strike. Only the thunderclaps continued incessantly, as if expressing its anger.

How despicable.

Que and Yu woke up to the noise of the thunder, feeling pain all over their bodies.

Wasn't he supposed to have crashed from a plane? How come he didn't die? But why does this thunder sound a bit off to him? It's like it's about to strike him, yet it's not.

Que Heyu looked at the sky and felt that the thunder was somewhat unusual. Especially when he took a step, the dark cloud and lightning followed him there, his face became completely expressionless.

"Alright, this is definitely targeting him. Could it be that he died and came back to life, so it's targeting him?" Que and Yu couldn't understand.

Seeing that the lightning had been striking for so long without actually striking, he ignored it and continued walking. He needed to find a place to hide and wait for the rescue team to come to him, otherwise he would freeze to death in this icy and snowy place sooner or later.

As for the revenge for the plane crash, he would take it when he got back. He knew that the plane crash was not an accident, but rather that someone had sabotaged it.

Was it his eldest uncle, his second brother, or some other collateral relative? This matter would not be settled so easily, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Just as Que and Yu found a small cave for refuge, Tian Ran was still unconscious.
