“Look, the captain’s dreaming again.” The blond-haired kid pointed to the tall man sleeping by the campfire.
“How do you know?” a team member asked curiously.
“Look at his crotch. See, it’s so obvious!” The blond-haired kid grinned mischievously.
Several team members took a closer look and immediately chuckled. Their captain’s constant erotic dreams— how could his body possibly handle it!
As they spoke, the tall man groggily awoke. The moment he opened his eyes, the haze in his pupils quickly faded, replaced by alertness and a chilling intent. However, once he determined that there was no danger in his surroundings, this chilling intent swiftly transformed into tenderness and longing.
As he was lost in his memories, a teammate joked, “Captain, dreaming about your wife again? What did you and your wife do in your dream? Look how excited you are, hahaha…”
The man, unconcerned about his body’s natural reaction, asked with great interest, “Have you ever been in a relationship?”
“Of course.”
“I was already married when the system selected me.”
“My daughter was three years old.”
“I was not married, but I changed girlfriends every three months!”
“I had been dating my boyfriend for eight years, and he treated me very well.”
Everyone started reminiscing about the past, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
The man then asked, “Do you still remember your first love?”
“I remember it vividly, it was so unforgettable! I cried like a baby the day we broke up!”
“Me too, my heart still aches when I think about it now.”
“Everyone says that first love is unforgettable, but after experiencing so many worlds, I’ve forgotten my first love. Who remembers a love that didn’t work out? I only remember that my daughter is waiting for me in the original world.”
“My first love also ended without a result. I pursued him for three years but couldn’t win him over, so I gave up in the end.”
“That wasn’t first love, that was unrequited love.”
“Unrequited love is still love, so why doesn’t it count?”
As they talked, they started arguing.
The man asked casually, “Which of you has stayed with your first love all this time and never broken up?”
There was a moment of silence, then everyone shook their heads with wry smiles: “First love is beautiful, but it’s also fragile. Everyone is immature, so it’s hard to maintain a good relationship.”
“I did want to marry my first love, but I was only fourteen years old then, so I couldn’t get a marriage certificate!”
“From first love to marriage, there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship. It was our first time dating, and we were both novices. It was hard to get through the adjustment period, and we ended up arguing and breaking up quickly.”
“Yes, first love is the most beautiful, but it is also the most heartbreaking.”
“It is said that of all types of love, the success rate of first love is the lowest, at only 1%.”
As everyone reminisced about the past, they couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh with regret.
Only then did the man purse his thin lips and say with a hint of pride, “Your sister-in-law and I were each other’s first love. We fell in love at first sight in our senior year of high school and got together very quickly. At that time, I had a terminal illness, and even though he knew I was going to die, he still wanted to stay with me. He said he would take care of me for the rest of his life…”
As the man spoke, he couldn’t help but smile, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
The teammates were stunned, then teased, “Captain, have you been watching too many TV dramas? I seriously suspect you’ve mixed up the plot of TV dramas with your real life!”
The man raised his eyebrows and glared fiercely, and everyone immediately became obedient, raising their hands and saying, “Okay, okay, please go ahead, we’re listening!”
Then the man continued with great interest: “Your sister-in-law is very smart. He was elected an honorary academician of the National Academy of Sciences at the age of eighteen, and he also invented a medicine to treat cancer and terminal illnesses.”
“He went into scientific research to save me. He originally wanted to finish high school and then go to university with me. But my illness worsened so quickly that he had to suspend his studies to develop a drug.”
“We got engaged when we were eighteen and married when we were twenty-four. My maternal grandfather officiated at the wedding, and people all over the country sent us their blessings…”
“Captain, stop right there! This is getting more and more ridiculous!” The blond-haired kid made a pause gesture, his cheeks flushed, and said, “Captain, what does your marriage have to do with the whole nation? Why should the whole nation send you their blessings? Captain, you can brag without even thinking, you’re really something, hahaha~”
The blond-haired kid eventually covered his mouth and burst out laughing.
The other team members also turned their heads away, their shoulders shaking, trying to suppress their laughter.
The man’s desire to confide was completely extinguished. He glared at the blond-haired man and walked away alone.
“Your sister-in-law is a super genius; his inventions have changed the world. His marriage to me is blessed not only by the people of the whole country, but by people all over the world. If you don’t believe me, fine, but you’ll understand when you meet him.” The man, clutching a massive memory bead, slowly disappeared into the darkness.
As he walked, he touched his burning lower back, where a bloody wound was healing.
He used to never mention his past, like an emotionless robot, but now he was obsessed with it.
But this change was clearly beneficial. Perhaps because he desperately wanted to find his lover, the man’s body was healing at an accelerated pace, and his abilities were growing exponentially, unknowingly conquering a vast territory.
The team members enjoyed the fruits of victory, but naturally they also had to pay a price. So they pointed at the blond-haired guy’s nose and scolded, “Next time, don’t interrupt the captain. Let him finish. No matter how much he praises his wife, we should just praise him too! Our territory is too close to the territories of the Lord of Terror and the Lord of the Spirit Mirror. If the captain is in a bad mood, our fighting power will be weakened, and we will all suffer as a result.”
“Okay, okay, I got it.” The blond-haired boy raised his hands in surrender, then asked, “Do you think the Lord of Terror and the Lord of the Spirit Mirror are still human or gods? It’s said they’ve passed the trials and met the main god, so why don’t they leave this terrifying place? If it were me, I would choose to leave.”
“They have lofty ambitions, unlike us, a bunch of lazy bums. What they want isn’t freedom, it’s to become gods,” one team member sighed, shaking his head.
“Yes, it is said that the Lord of Terror and the Lord of the Spirit Mirror are now demigods, and the worlds they once conquered have become their territories. They rule this universe together with the Supreme God.”
“That’s right. Their power all comes from the small worlds they control.”
“It is said that the more small worlds one governs, the stronger one’s power.”
“How do you govern the small world?” the blond-haired boy asked curiously.
“To seize all the fortune of that world and then control the laws of that world.”
“Yes, if you control the laws of the world, you can modify the world’s settings at will and become the master of a world. For example, a technological world can be changed into a supernatural world, and a mortal world can be changed into a cultivation world, and so on.”
“All the small worlds under the Lord of Terror’s rule have been transformed into terrifying and supernatural worlds by him. He gains power by absorbing human fear and despair. He is very powerful.”
“There is also the Lord of the Spirit Mirror. It is said that his world is an endless cycle of reincarnation. Once you enter, no one can escape. You can only travel through one real and one fake mirror world and slowly die.”
“In the far south, there is also a Lord of Doomsday. He has modified all the small worlds he has conquered into doomsday worlds, and he strengthens himself by absorbing the life energy of these worlds. They are all a bunch of insane monsters!”
“They are the henchmen of the Lord God.”
“To kill them, you must take away their power. And the only way to take away their power is to take away the small worlds they rule. That is an impossible task.”
At this point, several veteran team members couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh.
The blond-haired boy dared not ask any more questions, silently shutting his mouth and looking at the leaping campfire, a wave of despair washing over him. He had thought his captain was already an exceptionally powerful figure, but he hadn’t expected that there were demigods above him. How could he cross the territory of a demigod to reach the realm of the gods?
This was a question that no one could answer.
