Jiang Yu had a dream. A long, strange dream.

He dreamed that he lived above the Nine Heavenly Gates, and that billions of worlds were floating in his hands.

He dreamed that he was lying in the Bagua Forge, and countless rare materials whose names and uses were thrown into the furnace like mud and sand, and gradually mixed with himself in the endless scorching heat.

He dreamed that he had turned into a shooting star, coming from an infinite and distant unknown place. A group of gigantic humanoids forged by Glow attempted to intercept themselves. The most dazzling-looking of them all succeeded first - and then, the glorious humanoid that came into contact with him was corrupted in an instant into a distorted monster covered in tentacles and eyes.

He dreamed that he was strolling through the university boulevard in the afternoon with his phone in hand, staring at a screen. The content on the phone seems to be an infinite stream of the protagonist's overprotective ancestor. And I happened to turn the last page at that time, and it was tragically disconnected.

"Damn, stupid Jiuyuan broke off again." - At that time, I seemed to say so.

It seems, quite possibly.

This memory seems to be the last one before I crossed over. But at the level of details, it seems to be a little ambiguous, as if it was not a second before the train woke up, but thousands of years before that...... This may be due to the wear and tear of memory caused by the time travel, so that even if the third-order genetic lock is opened, it will not be able to complete a clear enough replay in the brain.

Cell phone...... Did you really hold your phone before you crossed over?

There should be, college students who love, and their mobile phones will naturally not leave their bodies. What's more, at the bottom of the hive, he used that thrown smart machine to delay the licker for a moment. It can be said that if he didn't have that phone with him, then he might have been a dead man at that time. And he also recovered it well, and did not let this intelligence carrier that recorded information about another universe stay in the hive destined to become the center of the incident.

So the memory should be right-Jiang Yu thought.

But why should I care about that? I don't need the phone anymore - Jiang Yu was confused.

He felt strange about his dreams, in which he was fishing at school, but his mind was able to think about other things on its own—a bit like schizophrenia, more like ...... Exist in two selves at the same time?

- Am I crazy? Not...... Probably not, it should be my subconscious concern that I might be a clone in the Demon Team?

- No...... Do I subconsciously worry about this kind of thing? I remember how I had everything arranged?

The mind is a little confused, and the dream in front of me has become unstable. This inexplicable dream seems to have reached its end, and it's time for you to end and relax and deal with the things that have been planned.

He thought that he decided not to bother with this inexplicable, unaware dream.

And just before the dream in front of me collapsed......

The dream self, Jiang Yu from the past, cast a glimpse of the perspective he is in now. The moment his eyes met, he read in the eyes of what should have been just an ordinary student, the sacredness, the vastness, and even the solemnity of the power in his hands.

Like an emperor.

…………………………

Jiang Yu opened his eyes.

The big sister's knee pillow in the spiritual world has long ended, but in the real world, she seems to be lying on Zhan Lan's lap - no, no, it's not Zhan Lan. Zhan Lan's phantom was sitting on a chair on the side looking at him. And the moment he woke up, the warm and soft touch under the back of his head suddenly turned into stiffness.

It's Shadow, and he's lying on Shadow's lap pillow. His gaze was slightly raised, and although he couldn't see it directly, he knew that the purple eyes that belonged to the shadow were slightly shifting to one side. And on the girl's cheeks, a little heat also appeared slightly.

- uh...... Am I, at the wrong time to wake up?

He must admit that his mind was indeed a solid stone at the moment he came to his senses. Because he didn't quite understand what was going on, he didn't understand why he was lying on Shadow's lap pillow. And she doesn't seem to be very resistant!?

This is very strange - Ying is Zhan Lan's creation, although it is the image design provided by himself. But no matter how you look at it, Ying should be Zhan Lan's assistant, Zhan Lan's spiritual harbor. But why did Zhan Lan ask her to give her a knee pillow? The Holy Spirit sustenance only changes form, not erases the physical body, and Zhan Lan can obviously be separated from the shadow at any time if he wants to.

I don't understand.

Jiang Yu felt a little pain in his skull—what was left in his mind before, the little doubt about the previous dream, was thrown into Java in an instant—he was sure that Zhan Lan's senses were more inclined to the love of the eldest sister to the younger brother than to the love affair between men and women. And this is one of the reasons why he was confessed by Zhao Yingkong on the front foot, and he was willing to accept Zhan Lan's invitation to the knee pillow on the back foot. But now......

- Am I supposed to ...... Pretend nothing happened?

"Ayu, the agreed meeting time is coming."

Kasumi's voice came suddenly—her voice was as soft and kind as ever. But Jiang Yu sensed an inexplicable crisis at this moment!

There is a murderous aura!

I don't remember saying I was going to meet in the morning!

Jiang Yu felt that he immediately needed a carp to fight up.

However, there was no need for him to do gymnastics, because in the next moment, Zhan Lan's will had already taken over Shadow's body. The stiffness at the back of the head turned soft again, accompanied by the urge to lift itself up.

"It's really going to be assembled." Zhan Lan nodded and smiled at Xia. "Our research has been successful. Zheng Zha's side...... It seems that there is a lot of gain. Although Mu Gang and Cheng Xiao have not yet recovered their full combat effectiveness, if the soldiers are fast, if we move quickly, we may be able to take that dragon by surprise. ”

She's right.

Jiang Yu felt that her words made sense.

Especially at this moment, it makes a lot of sense.

So, five minutes later, all the members of the Middle-earth team appeared in the chapel in the center of the church, which is also a makeshift conference room.

Jiang Yu originally thought that the atmosphere of this rally would be strange, but in fact it was not. Zhan Lan's emotions were not revealed too much to the outside, and Zhao Yingkong, who was in the daytime, still maintained the usual silence. And none of the rest of the companions seemed to want to bring up the topic of last night at the meeting.

Nobody cares—at least it seems.

From beginning to end, it seemed that Jiang Yu was the only one who was there to suffer from gains and losses—he turned his head and looked at Zheng Zhe. He felt that this guy's spirit seemed to be extra vigorous this morning, and he didn't know if he had a good night's sleep yesterday or was happy because he had made a breakthrough in research.

He didn't know, but he still shared his and Zhan Lan's research progress. The discovery of the underground world, as well as the battle strategy he planned to lure the dragon out of the cave and attack the west. And at the end, he expressed his apologies to Zheng Zhe.

“…… Anyway, that's about it. After he finished explaining, he said, "Zhan Lan and I have separately researched the methods of dividing and sealing divine powers. At the same time, Zhan Lan also discovered the gravity boundary passage in the underground world...... With this technique, we should be able to use the separated divine power as bait on the battlefield in Washington and then raid Sona Island. So I'm sorry, Zheng Zha, if you have researched a means of divine power destruction, you may not be able to use it immediately this time. ”

He thought Zheng Zhe would be angry...... Or some frustration.

However, it is not.

Zheng Zhe just smiled and waved his hand, signaling that everything was fine.

"Ahh It's not impossible to destroy the divine power, but I feel like it can only be used as a byproduct, and I don't really want to use it again in a short period of time. ”

His voice is loud and his smile is hearty. In contrast, although he was equally generous and kind in the past, he seemed to be covered with an invisible shadow in comparison. And when Jiang Yu wanted to ask him what he had done, he remained mysterious.

Jiang Yu felt that he could ask.

But he felt more that he didn't need to do something like that.

The past self did manage too much and pay too much attention. It's like treating your peers as kindergarten students who need to be taken care of. Now, perhaps, he should change his course of action.

So, he didn't ask, just nodded. This made Zheng Zhe a little surprised, maybe he thought that only he had changed. And Jiang Yu's gaze immediately shifted and looked at the other people-Mu Gang's face was still a little pale, revealing a rather reluctant smile. But Cheng Xiao compared his muscular posture, as if to show how powerful he was.

"I feel like I'm ready to play at any time." Mr. Cheng Xiao said so, and also added. "The injury is getting better faster than expected, and I also have explosive means, if I use it, I will definitely be able to maintain my full combat strength."

】

"Mu Gang?" Jiang Yu nodded and looked at the other wounded. "We have relatively plenty of time, so we don't need to rush too much."

True, because the Lord God does not set a time limit for completing the task. The speed of the soldier is just a conventional judgment.

"I ...... There was no way to recover from the injuries in Cybertron's stance. "Mu Gang, show a wry smile." In human form, I wasn't actually hurt. But the injuries during the transformation ...... There is no clue about the fix. It is not possible to absorb electricity, and it may be up to the Lord God to repair it...... Therefore, in the next battle, I am afraid that no matter how I recuperate, I will only be able to fight. ”

Unexpected answer, but...... It's not unacceptable. Jiang Yu nodded, he already understood Mu Gang's intentions.

He can lay his hands down, he won't hold back.

Jiang Yu's gaze swept over the zero point, and there was always no problem with the zero point. Sweeping Li Shuaixi, this guy doesn't seem to have anything to talk about.

And after Zhang Jie, who didn't need to and couldn't pay too much attention to it, was skipped. Jiang Yu's eyes focused on Zhu Wen.

"Zhu Wen, look at the calamity on us."
