Chapter 78: Across Five Thousand Years, I, the Monkey, Will Surely Find You

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's words left Lin Chuan silent.

Fortunately, Heaven guided him to choose the correct path.

If Tu Shan Jiao Jiao were replaced by Mo Sangyu and Yun Zhi Yi, this household would already be in chaos.

"Jiao Jiao, thank you for your understanding."

After realizing that dreams and reality are connected, Lin Chuan never thought of spending the rest of his life with only one of them,

Harmony! We must have harmony!

"It's okay."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao gently said: "Jiao Jiao's recovery is not only due to your husband's painstaking search; both elder sisters have helped."

"If it weren't for them, perhaps there would be no Jiao Jiao as we know her today."

"The two elder sisters know that her husband went to Qingqiu to save me, yet they still selflessly helped us; how could Jiao Jiao be selfish?"

Saying this, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao shifted the topic,

"Even if we compete, we must wait until her husband remembers the two elder sisters, then we can all compete fairly—how exciting!"

"???"

Lin Chuan nearly couldn't catch his breath.

After all that, does Jiaojiao Niangzi like to play big?

Indeed! A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Thinking this, Lin Chuan activated the Reincarnation Eye again, gazing at Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's spiritual form.

Information appeared:

【Tu Shan Jiao Jiao, Reincarnation Count: 2.】

【This is Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's third life; in the first two lives, you two shared a deep affinity, but ultimately regrettably missed each other, choosing the path of solitary loneliness.】

Lin Chuan had anticipated this; indeed, he also shares a past-life affinity with Jiaojiao Niangzi.

He then looked toward Yun Zhi Yi outside the house.

Information appeared:

【Yun Zhi Yi, Reincarnation Count: 2.】

【This is Yun Zhi Yi's third life; in her first life, you two were the best of friends, and nothing more.】

Hmph?

Dog System, what are you doing?

How come in this life it's all true love, while in past-life reincarnations it's all regret?!

The emotional debts owed from past lives are all to be repaid by me in this life, right?

Lin Chuan really wanted to ask: Dog System, were you dumped by me in a past life, and now you've come to take revenge on me intentionally?

"If dreams and reality are not yet set and can still be changed, then the idea of giving them a home holds hope of realization."

Not long ago, the system opened a new function—Reincarnation Interaction.

This function allows Lin Chuan's primary consciousness in the real world to influence the dream reincarnation's course, giving him three chances to alter major events.

Daily events can even undergo unlimited Free Interaction.

Thus, even if the overall situation cannot be reversed, it's still better than being unable to start.

Of course, given the system's nature, it might have buried many pits in past lives as well.

The simplest possibility is that in his past life he still had another wife, a formally wedded one, which might have caused him to miss his wife.

Although dreams can be roughly framed via 【Entries】, those 【Entries】 are ultimately limited, and most events are randomly generated.

"But that's all we can do."

Lin Chuan silently made up his mind.

A new problem lay before him.

The Reincarnation Free Interaction Function requires the Soul Form Realm to activate, but he is still only in the Embryonic Transformation Realm.

Fortunately, after logging into the main account 'Pure Love War God,' his understanding of Dao underwent a qualitative leap, and many things that were incomprehensible in cultivation suddenly became clear.

His realm also reached the late Embryonic Transformation Stage, and he will soon step into the Soul Form Realm.

Unable to gain inspiration by idling through long-term dream reincarnation, Lin Chuan can only break through in reality.

"How about taking another mission at the Demon Slaying Office?"

Lin Chuan's understanding of the real world is indeed scant; only through the Demon Slaying Office does he gain a broader view.

Yet what he has seen is still merely a corner of heaven and earth.

Not to mention him, even someone like Imperial Director Zhu Zhengzhi is merely a strongman in a corner of Qingyun Prefecture,

placed within the entire Nine-phase World, he is just a minor figure.

However, reality is the main theme; even if the system possesses the ability to invert cause and effect, the future path matters more than the past.

The path he now walks is for the present and for the scenery ahead.

With an uneasy heart, Lin Chuan left the Lin Manor and headed straight for the Demon Slaying Office.

……

In a distant land, Jinglian Province.

Ninety-nine massive red light pillars descended from the Heavenly Dome, standing at the border of Jinglian Province shrouded in scarlet vapors.

Between the pillars, they connected to one another, forming a continuous light screen that sealed off Jinglian Province from the outside world.

There are also thin gaps where living beings can enter and exit.

At a gap in the light screen, a frail youth carrying a corpse walks slowly through the mire.

"Grandfather, I will surely revive you and surely avenge you!"

The boy raised his eyebrows and looked toward the blood‑filled earth ahead; his thin body trembled involuntarily, fear showing on his face, but soon it turned into resolve.

Following the gap in the light curtain, he stepped onto the land of Jinglian Province.

The scene before him shifted, and what entered the boy's view was a towering mountain.

At the summit, a gigantic blood lotus bloomed, extravagantly beautiful to the extreme.

"Blood lotus! There really is a blood lotus!"

The village teacher said that those who enter Jinglian Province, if they can see the blood lotus, may offer a sacrifice to it and gain the power of cultivators.

Cultivators can do anything.

As long as one becomes a cultivator, one can kill those bandits and save grandfather!

Thinking of this, the boy dropped to his knees, prayed devoutly, and slammed his head hard into the muddy ground, making a small pit,

Blood trickled down from his forehead; the boy gritted his teeth and kept pounding his head down.

"Supreme blood lotus! Please grant me power!"

"Grant me the strength to defeat the bandits, grant me the strength to save grandfather!"

The boy kept kowtowing, kept praying.

His head was already a little dizzy, his vision blurred.

In a haze, he saw a giant ape, taller than the lofty mountain peak, holding a golden staff that pierced the clouds.

"Your soul is very pure, not bad, not bad."

The giant ape's booming voice exploded in the boy's ear: "Your grandfather has been dead for many days; he cannot be revived, but I can lend you the power of revenge."

The boy's frail body shuddered, tears streaming down; he took a deep look at his grandfather's corpse and nodded firmly.

"Please grant me the power of revenge; I am willing to pay any price."

"I need nothing from you."

The giant ape said: "Go kill those you wish to kill, offer their blood as a sacrifice to me; then I will take back your power, and our deal will be complete."

Flames burned in the boy's eyes: "I will offer the blood of the wicked to you."

"Go."

The giant ape flicked his finger, pouring a strand of scarlet mana into the boy's body.

The boy again kowtowed in thanks, buried his grandfather's body in Jinglian Province, and left with determined steps.

As the boy gradually faded into the distance, the towering giant ape shifted its form, turning into a slender monkey five feet long.

"Five thousand years have passed; the seal is gradually fading, and I, the monkey, have finally endured until this day."

"Master of the Law, it's been five thousand years and you never came to see me—are you still there? No matter what form you take, I, the monkey, will find you."
