Those who possess S-level or above spiritual power will have the opportunity to briefly enter the sea of consciousness after they are fully awakened. The mainstream view is that this is to enter their own "sea of consciousness", that is, the spiritual world.
But in fact, there are very few cases where some people can enter the consciousness of their loved ones.
For example, Gu Yumian at this moment.
“…”
Gu Yumian didn't know any of this, he just thought he had a 'dream'.
He felt like he was lying in the sea. The sea looked vast, deep, and icy on the surface, but it was soft when he lay in it.
All the ice melted the second it touched Gu Yumian. Very warm water flowed through his fingers, and a small string of bubbles surrounded him closely.
His subconscious told him that this was a world related to Shuo Han, and even the hypocritical Ocean was so similar to him.
The water carried him down to a softer place.
There is a door there.
The door was covered in layers of thick, sharp locks, but after Gu Yumian appeared, they quickly crumbled, and the door opened. Gu Yumian hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open.
With a loud bang.
A black shadow jumped out from the corner, and Gu Yumian was knocked to the ground by a sudden huge force!
But this time, the back of his head hit not the floor, but the soft carpet of the palace, making a dull sound.
In the light of day, Gu Yumian had a premonition. Sure enough, he looked again and saw the little one stepping on his arms...
The little snow leopard looked down at him condescendingly, its gray-blue pupils narrowed into a line, and its soft flesh pads stepped on Gu Yumian's lips.
Gu Yumian: "..."
If the surrounding scene wasn't so different, I'd have suspected I'd traveled back in time to the time when I first met Tuantuan. Was this a dream?
Moreover, this 'Tuan Tuan' in front of him seemed even more...how to say, harmless than when they first met.
Its eyes were a very clear silver-blue, and its claws were not sharp at all, but its arrogant and dissatisfied expression was still exactly the same as before.
Gu Yumian's eyes softened, and he reached out to pick up his little snow leopard. The little snow leopard was very obedient and was held under Gu Yumian's ribs. He rubbed its paws and purred lazily.
"Good boy."
I don't know what mechanism this sentence triggered.
The little snow leopard froze slowly, looking at its own paws in disbelief, then looking at Gu Yumian, very unfamiliarly and deliberately adjusting its expression from 'comfortable and intimate' to 'unhappy and angry', and then -
"Meow!!" an angry little baby voice.
The little creature glared at Gu Yumian in dissatisfaction, its sharp claws reaching out and then retracting, unable to scratch any further. What was going on? Did this human have some powerful supernatural power?
Gu Yumian: "..."
Gu Yumian's heart trembled.
So cute, so cute.
It can also meow!
Shuo Han must have known how "unimpressive" his baby voice was when he was a cub, so when he was pretending to be a cub, he hardly made any sound. At first, Gu Yumian thought there was something wrong with his vocal cords.
It can be confirmed that this is the real cub version of Tuantuan.
Although I really want to spend more time with this cute girl, but...
"Tuantuan," Gu Yumian kissed its little ear, "I may have to leave first. I'll come see you next time, because your future self needs me right now."
Yes, I have to wake up quickly and go accompany Shuo Han.
Shuo Han must really need him.
Why did he show that expression before? What happened before? Gu Yumian was not a fool, so he had some guesses, but now it seemed that the real situation must be much more serious than he guessed, but Shuo Han had been carrying it all on his own.
When I thought of this, my heart started to ache.
The little snow leopard snorted, revealing a proud expression of "Just leave if you want to, I don't care about you at all", but when Gu Yumian turned around, he subconsciously grabbed his sleeves with his claws and got into Gu Yumian's arms.
Then I started to feel angry.
Gu Yumian: "..."
It’s so cute. Can I take the baby in my dream and raise him outside?
That's when the door was pushed open.
The royal steward, dressed elegantly, came with his servants, and the curtains rose automatically, indicating that it was morning.
"Your Highness, allow me to report today's itinerary to you—I see, has Mr. Gu arrived?"
The people in the dream were not surprised by Gu Yumian's appearance.
The little snow leopard popped its head out of Gu Yumian's arms, glanced at him, and listened lazily.
"Mr. Gu, please help His Highness wash up. A teacher will be here in an hour."
The royal steward bowed and retreated, and several servants stood with their heads bowed at the four corners of the bedroom. The empty and magnificent room returned to silence.
Gu Yumian became increasingly puzzled by the progress of this 'dream'. He followed his instructions and gave the little snow leopard a warm bath and a comb. The little snow leopard's fur was tangled, perhaps because it was too playful, or because no one had been taking good care of it, leaving it to lick itself.
The possibility of this speculation made Gu Yumian sad again.
Even the grown-up big devil Tuan Tuan couldn't resist the Gu Yumian brand hair combing method. After a combing, the slightly awkward little guy suddenly became much softer.
After that, the tutor arrived on time and taught Xiao Tuantuan a lesson. During lunch break, Gu Yumian finally couldn't help but ask the waiter:
"What year is it now?"
The waiter replied respectfully, "212 New Star Calendar."
...It was actually more than thirty years ago, and Shuo Han was less than ten years old at that time.
Gu Yumian had already realized this might not be a dream. If it were his own dream, he wouldn't have invented so many realistic details. But where was this? Shuohan's memories? Or the world inside Shuohan's mind? How did time flow in comparison to reality?
Know nothing.
The little snow leopard domineeringly refused to let Gu Yumian leave, but the amazing thing was that it seemed as if the entire palace had tacitly accepted Gu Yumian's existence and didn't find it strange to see a human following the prince around all day.
This went on for quite a while.
Gu Yumian observed that the palace residents had a strange attitude toward Tuantuan. First, they had never met Tuantuan's parents, and second, the servants and maids treated him with a mixture of respect, caution, and subtle contempt.
Before Gu Yumian arrived, he was perfunctory in taking care of the little snow leopard.
“…”
As someone who even the butler had to address as "Sir," he couldn't control the Emperor and Empress, but he could manage a few servants. Gu Yumian selected a few kind-hearted servants to come up, and the atmosphere of daily life finally became much more relaxed.
As the little snow leopard was raised by Gu Yumian, he changed from a cautious and awkward little fellow to a young master who had everything provided for him.
Did he treat him as a babysitter? Gu Yumian couldn't help but poke the little guy's face.
Of course, Gu Yumian didn't know that when the little snow leopard was doing physical training, he met his friend. He raised his chin and introduced Gu Yumian with a rather arrogant "mi mi mi" sound. He said:
"This is my child bride. She is here to take care of me now and will marry me when she grows up."
The children all looked at it with envy and admired His Royal Highness the Prince even more.
...By the way, it was also with Gu Yumian's encouragement that Tuantuan, who used to stay indoors all the time, now participates in some activities.
The ones doing physical training here are all youngsters of the same nobility. Kids of this age don't have much scheming. Because Tuan Tuan performed so well in the training, they all quickly became his little brothers.
But the term "albino," which he had heard from a former waiter, had always made Gu Yumian feel uncomfortable. But how could he clarify it? There was no such thing as a snow leopard in this world.
Another month or two passed like this, and the weather entered early autumn with several cold rains.
Gu Yumian had a bad feeling, until that evening, when the empress, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly summoned the prince. It wasn't a formal summons; she sent a servant, whose eyes flickered with fear.
Tuantuan can’t be allowed to go. This was Gu Yumian’s first reaction.
"Tuan Tuan, wait here for a moment. I'll go in and take a look at the situation."
He handed the little snow leopard to a trusted servant and walked into the room despite the little guy's fierce opposition.
The smell of blood.
A strong, pungent smell of blood.
“…”
Gu Yumian's first reaction was to close the door.
This crazy woman.
"Why are you here?" The woman tugged at her long hair in boredom. "Where's that little bastard? Let it in. Mommy's dying, and it doesn't want to see Mommy..."
"He's not a bastard." Gu Yumian interrupted her.
Gu Yumian stared at the woman in front of him.
This is Shuo Han's memory, or inner world, which means that these may actually have happened.
In the real world, without Gu Yumian, little Tuantuan, who was not even ten years old, would happily come to see her mother whom she had not seen for a long time, and then watch her—
"Forget it, I can't wait any longer." The woman waited for a while, then became impatient. She held a small-sized gun and nonchalantly pulled the trigger at her temple.
'Bang'.
Blood splattered at Gu Yumian's feet.
Gu Yumian took a step back, the anger in his heart growing stronger and stronger, and he felt like vomiting.
"Let that bastard come in and take a look," the woman's voice became smaller and smaller, but it sounded too eerie. Gu Yumian was sure that she hated and despised the little snow leopard.
"Let it in and take a look. It was it that killed me. This monster killed its own mother with its own hands. Hahahaha. No one will love it, and no one will ever love it. It's just an executioner..."
"You are killed by your own narrow-mindedness."
It has nothing to do with Shuo Han.
The woman was stunned.
Gu Yumian suppressed his surging anger, walked to the woman, and looked down at her:
"I love him, and in the future there will be many people who will love him, like him, and be grateful to him."
"But you are different. No one will ever love you."
"You gave him life out of selfishness, but you don't deserve to be his mother... Have you ever hugged him once in all these years? Do you know when his birthday is?"
He had ignored her for such a long time, and in the few times they met, he was always sarcastic and mocking towards his son.
The woman coughed violently, holding on to her last breath, still furious:
"You let that lowly albino in. If it hadn't been so useless from birth, I would have been freed long ago! It killed me, it killed me, and ruined my life!!"
"I just regret that I didn't strangle it to death when it was just born—"
"That's enough."
Gu Yumian suddenly felt that this woman was hateful and pathetic.
She probably didn't know that just a few years later, Shuo Han would awaken and become an SSS-level spiritual power owner. She had been pursuing great power all her life, but she missed it right at the closest place.
But this is almost inevitable because she is a terrible mother.
I'm afraid that even if she knew in advance that the little snow leopard would awaken powerful powers, she would not love it because she never regarded Shuo Han as her own son, so she would never deserve to know how good Shuo Han was.
"Why should he bear the consequences of your evil deeds?"
The woman stared at Gu Yumian and finally lost her breath.
Die with eyes open.
Gu Yumian did not reach out to help her close her eyes, but stood there in silence for a long time, then stood up and left.
He took the confused little girl from the waiter outside the door.
Gu Yumian would like Shuo Han no matter what kind of person he is.
But he still really wanted to see...what his little snow leopard would look like when it grew up carefree?
“…”
Shuo Han's spiritual world is a dark and cloudy ocean. Layers of ice form on the surface, and storms and sea monsters often stir up trouble. Only when he sees Gu Yumian does his heart soften briefly.
Gu Yumian would never know.
He had spent so much time in his 'dream', but in the outside world, only half an hour had passed. And during that half an hour, the ice in his spiritual ocean had been melting bit by bit, until just now, a hideous sea monster, which brought nightmares from time to time, appeared beneath the surface...
Completely annihilated and disappeared.
While Gu Yumian was asleep, many changes were taking place in the outside world.
It took less than an hour for miner Bill to regain consciousness after being seriously injured and on the verge of death. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his wife's crying face.
Having escaped death, the family hugged each other and cried for a while. The other miners who were watching nearby were also filled with emotion.
After finally calming down, Bill thought of another question:
"The gentleman who saved me and His Majesty..."
"They are resting too," said the doctor.
"Is that so?" Bill nodded, looked at his wife and companions, and sighed, "We may have misunderstood His Majesty all along. We must sincerely apologize and beg for his forgiveness..."
When Bill was infected, his wife and coworkers said some really harsh things to him. It was just...
This time, Bill truly felt how painful it was to be parasitized by the Zerg. He had tried to commit suicide many times, but none of them succeeded because the Zerg parasitizing his body would take over his consciousness at the last second, making it difficult to die easily.
He suffered a lot of inhuman torture.
This time we were saved thanks to Mr. Gu - it must be Mr. Gu's special ability that played a big role.
To put it this way, ten years ago, there was no one like Gu Yumian who could resist the Zerg, and all the infected people had no choice but to die in pain.
As for those rumors about His Majesty's 'indiscriminate killing of innocent people'...
"The first three hours of being parasitized by the Zerg are undetectable by instruments." At the Academy of Sciences, the young fox faced the camera, trying hard to overcome his inarticulate nature.
"We only learned this result not long ago. By the time the instrument was able to detect it, it was already four hours into the infection."
"The fourth hour is too late. The infected person will also become infectious and experience extreme pain. Within two hours, they will die from the unbearable pain."
"As for those with SSS-level abilities, they can clearly see the body structures of all living things, including parasitic insect eggs that have not yet been detected by instruments, so..."
The cell samples left behind by the soldiers killed by Shuo Han showed that they were parasitized before they died, but only Shuo Han could see this.
So in the eyes of others, it became a 'cruel killing of innocent people'.
In fact, no media reported this news, it was just word of mouth among the people who were present at the time.
The war situation was too tense at the time and the main attention was on the front line. By the time people reacted, this unfounded stigma had become a deep-rooted prejudice.
In fact, if Shuo Han was really violent, the people who spread the rumors would have died long ago.
It’s such a simple truth, but many people don’t understand it.
Now, the first case of escaping from the Zerg parasite has appeared. This good news must be told to the world, but it cannot be announced rashly.
Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives might take advantage of the situation and spread rumors about Shuo Han's previous "indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
Of course, Shuo Han himself didn't seem to care much about his reputation, but he was clearly protecting the people, but he was said to be like that. He himself didn't care, and people who knew about it would probably be very sad.
At least Gu Yumian will definitely be very sad...
The pandas who were closely following Gu Yumian's every move were the first to get the news.
"Leave this matter to us!"
Shijiu Guo, who was born into a family of diplomats, patted his round and furry belly. He said that those government media that had been spoiled by the cabinet's meddling in politics were just there to eat for free and were of no use. But they were different.
I didn’t know it before, but now I know. I can’t let my ancestor’s boyfriend, who may very well be another ancestor in the future, continue like this.
The Guo family has produced so many big stars, musicians, e-sports champions, and various public figures... The accumulated experience in guiding public opinion and the connections they have made in all walks of life are not just talk.
They acted immediately and the rollers took action quickly!
On the other side, Gu Yumian’s dream continued.
...Perhaps it was because he was spoiled by Gu Yumian and became lawless. Although he did not experience the terrible thing of 'his mother committing suicide in front of him', the character of the little snow leopard was developing more and more towards the direction of a big devil.
Tuan Tuan is extremely smart. Although he has not awakened, his physical and intellectual abilities are first-rate. When he was a teenager, he skipped primary education and was admitted to the Empire's first military academy with high scores.
And there are many 'little brothers'.
Gu Yumian guessed that this little guy, who was no longer a child, must have said something to his "little brothers", otherwise why would they look at Gu Yumian in such a confusing way?
Until some time passed.
Gu Yumian was sleeping in the middle of the night when he suddenly felt someone hugging him and a slightly cool strand of hair brushed against his neck.
He still looked between a teenager and a young adult, but Shuo Han was already very tall. He could easily hold Gu Yumian in his arms and mumbled something in his sleep in his ear:
"Child bride..."
Gu Yumian: "..."
Humanoid? When did Shuo Han awaken? How come he didn't know?
Wait, child bride?
