WTYTIAAN Chapter 233

Chapter 233

Snow.

The heavy snow fell like goose feathers, swirling lightly in the air, covering the earth with a silvery-white blanket, as if the entire world had been dyed pure white.

The cold wind howled in his ears, carrying a bone-chilling cold, and the half-hidden sun in the sky could not bring a trace of warmth.

Yan Yunqing walked barefoot in the snow, hardly feeling the cold despite the biting wind. The wind that should have been cutting to the bone felt strangely like a gentle caress, and even his bare feet on the snow didn’t feel icy, but rather like stepping on clumps of cotton.

It’s a dream.

Yan Yunqing could clearly recognize that he was dreaming at this moment.

After all, he had gone to sleep in Freedom City, which was warm and even a bit hot despite it being winter. To suddenly arrive in this place with fluttering snowflakes, he was bound to notice something was wrong.

And this extremely unscientific scenario made Yan Yunqing realize that this was a dream.

He was dreaming.

A lucid dream, at that.

Scientific evidence suggests that many lucid dreams unearth memories that were once ‘forgotten’ in the brain, and re-exhibit them in the form of dreams.

However, this world was one with fantasy elements, just like the dream he had before, where he dreamed of something that didn’t belong to him, something more like the memory of the Archangel Theodore.

That definitely couldn’t be a memory stored in the depths of his brain.

Therefore, Yan Yunqing couldn’t judge whether his current dream was his own memory, someone else’s memory, or simply a non-existent scene woven by his brain.

Yan Yunqing looked down at himself. He was currently wearing an extremely revealing robe, as if he was simply wrapped in a layer of white cloth, with a wide-open collar, a deep V revealing his flat chest and abdomen, and a cloth strip casually tied around his waist, barely covering the critical areas.

The fabric was exceptionally sparse, with the front hem falling to his knees. He even felt like there was a risk of exposure at any moment as he moved. The train behind him was quite long, spread out on the snow, about half a meter long.

Yan Yunqing pulled at his collar, trying to reduce the amount of exposed skin from the deep V, but it was useless. Even if he adjusted it one second, the unique construction of the garment would cause a ‘zone of absolute territory’ to gradually slip out as he walked.

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing touched the exposed abdominal muscles on his waist and abdomen, calmly pondering who the owner of this dream was.

He could be sure it wasn’t himself, because he didn’t have such nice abs.

At the same time, he wouldn’t wear something so revealing to take a walk in the snow. After all, as a conservative person from China, he couldn’t possibly wander around outside in clothing comparable to a bathrobe.

Unless it was in a game.

However, Yan Yunqing remembered that he had never spent money on such a strange bathrobe for the Demon King, so it wasn’t his game costume either.

He searched through his memory, but couldn’t recall any subordinate who liked to act crazy in the snow wearing something like this.

The closest he could think of were the angels and elves, but although their costumes were a bit revealing in the early game, after joining the Demon King’s team, they were all uniformly equipped with light armor or magical robes by the Demon King.

Yan Yunqing: Who plays a card game without upgrading and equipping their cards?

Could it not be a subordinate?

Yan Yunqing looked down, touching the white fabric on his body. It was smooth to the touch, like high-quality silk, with subtle but extremely complex patterns embroidered on it. Although there was very little fabric, he could feel an aura of nobility contained within, and the pattern gave Yan Yunqing a strange feeling.

It was a hard to describe feeling, and Yan Yunqing couldn’t find a word to define it for the time being.

Yan Yunqing tried to adjust the thin fabric again, but ultimately found that the property of this garment was ‘deep V exposing abs’, so he could only give up the futile struggle, and comfort himself in his heart: it’s just a dream anyway.

Anyway, it’s just a dream, and no one will see him in this state, or rather, what they see isn’t him, so what does he have to be embarrassed about?

Having convinced himself, Yan Yunqing finally managed to shift his attention away from the scant fabric on his body to observe the surrounding environment.

It was still snowing heavily here, a scene that should have been freezing cold, and coupled with his current attire, he should have been shivering and chattering his teeth. However, he only felt that the howling wind was gentle, the snow floating in the sky and under his feet was soft, and even the sunlight didn’t seem glaring.

Yan Yunqing looked around. There were many trees around, and the heavy snow covered many traces, but Yan Yunqing could judge from the remaining features that it was a small forest, and that there were human settlements nearby.

A village? Or a town.

A village was more likely, because there weren’t many signs of extensive logging in this small forest, so there wouldn’t be too many people in the nearby settlements.

Yan Yunqing stepped on the soft snow, wandering aimlessly, thinking about why he would have this dream, and looking for a way to wake up.

After arriving in Freedom City yesterday, he had found a place to settle down temporarily. The time he had agreed with [Yingyi] hadn’t arrived yet, so he could rest first, and inquire about the situation in the city.

And after exploring the current situation in the city, he went back and fell asleep not long after, and then appeared in this dream.

A bit coincidental.

This made Yan Yunqing a bit suspicious, but not quite sure.

After all, he came to Freedom City this time to see Theodore. He started dreaming on his first day, and the last time he had a lucid dream that wasn’t his memory was also about Theodore, which made Yan Yunqing think.

Was this dream trying to remind him of something? Did he have this dream because he came to Freedom City?

But why didn’t he have a dream the last time he came to Freedom City?

Strange.

Yan Yunqing walked while thinking, unknowingly walking out of the small forest. Several scattered houses appeared in his line of sight. The scale was as Yan Yunqing had thought, a village.

It’s just that the style of the houses looked a bit… primitive?

Simple houses built of stone and yellow mud, without any extra construction, looked very ancient. There was even a stone-carved vat in front of the door.

The period when such containers existed seemed more like the Stone Age. However, this world did not have specific era divisions, but Yan Yunqing remembered that since the birth of the Main Controller Demon King, the world’s development process was about the same as the 17th century in the Western Blue Star.

Yan Yunqing looked at the production tools placed outside the house, mostly natural stone tools, or stone tools after being polished.

The easiest way to judge whether a period is backward is to look at the production tools, which can quickly distinguish the production capacity of this period.

Such natural production tools, there are two possibilities.

One possibility was that this dream was purely compiled by his brain. After all, scenes where the cold wind wasn’t cold and the heavy snow was soft had appeared. Natural stone tools like production tools from the primitive era may have been conjured up by his brain based on unknown elements.

Another possibility was that this did happen, but the period in which the dream was located was very, very early, even before the Demon King appeared.

Yan Yunqing paused, more inclined to the second possibility.

After all, this was a world with fantasy elements.

But if it was earlier than the Demon King era?

Then that was before the God War… the era ruled by gods?

Yan Yunqing guessed casually, and walked towards the village. At this moment, it was snowing heavily, and there was no one outside the village. Thinking about it, it made sense. No normal person would run around outside when it was snowing so heavily.

Except for the memory owner carried by this dream.

Running around everywhere wearing a scant garment like a bathrobe.

Very inexplicable.

Completely unlike a normal person… hmm?

Yan Yunqing was stunned, and held his chin to think.

Not like a normal person? Was it possible that he wasn’t a normal person… oh no, he should say, not a person?

Regardless of whether they were normal or not, they would definitely feel the warmth and cold, but the owner of the dream couldn’t perceive the cold. This kind of scene, like the world had a bug, could it be because he wasn’t a person, or rather, he wasn’t a creature from the ground at all—

A god?

When this word appeared in his heart, Yan Yunqing felt like a door had opened, and looking at the clothes he was wearing at this moment, Yan Yunqing had a hard to describe feeling.

Okay, he was just saying that this rag had a strange feeling to it, it was divinity.

And this revealing garment was also very in line with the gods’ clothes in some Western paintings. The gods’ attire seemed to be so informal, bare-chested and bare-shouldered…

Speaking of which, Yan Yunqing remembered that the gods’ clothing during the Demon King era was indeed quite revealing, but it wasn’t as revealing as he was now. In addition, the gods were an opposing force in “Demon King”, and Yan Yunqing wouldn’t pay too much attention to the clothing of the big and small bosses, so he couldn’t react at the first time.

So, the owner of this dream is a god?

Yan Yunqing’s interactions with gods weren’t that many—yes, although the God War had been fought for so long, and he was the Demon King who ended the God War, Yan Yunqing’s interactions with gods weren’t that many.

The god he was more familiar with… wasn’t the old enemy, the God of Light, but rather the God of Light’s twin brother, the God of Darkness, Hoder.

The God of Light, strictly speaking, couldn’t be considered a villain. He did give his believers rights, glory, exemption from disease, and so on. Therefore, he was also the god with the most believers among all the gods of the God War.

Even the largest and most prosperous country during the God War was the Light Empire, which believed in the God of Light. Now it had become a breeding ground for demons—the Sea of Death.

The border guarded by Adrian Sawyer was adjacent to the Sea of Death. That had once belonged to the Light Empire during the God War, and was also the most intense place in the God War. Countless gods fell here. Therefore, the divine bones that were rare to see elsewhere were piled up like mountains here.

So, after the demons descended, the original ruins of the Light Empire would become the current Sea of Death.

The topic had gone too far, let’s go back to these two twin gods.

If the older brother, the God of Light, was considered a ‘good’ god before the God War, then the younger brother, the God of Darkness, was the complete opposite, an evil god.

Rumor had it that he was irritable, easily angered, and capricious. Basically, all the adjectives related to darkness could be put on this god.

Most importantly, the God War was started by him.
