A Girl Dies Every Day in Her Dream Life 271

Chapter 271: A Conversation Across Time and Worlds

After some preparation, Luo Xue, Ling Ling, and Su Yiyao gathered in the control center of the Xuangu Ship.

Ling Ling had arranged everything in the High Tower civilization. Those who needed to be executed were executed, those who needed to be exiled were exiled, but it wasn’t done rashly. She used various means to consolidate their power.

For example, Chen Sirui had been exiled to the Nether Tower—not a specific tower, but a collective term for all the failed but still operational Suspended High Towers.

Normal Suspended High Towers operated at five thousand meters, but the Nether Towers’ disaster engines, due to various reasons, had significantly reduced output and could only float at two to three thousand meters. The environment in the Nether Towers was harsh, a form of prison.

And the Suspended High Towers controlled by Chen Sirui had been divided among others before his exile, and the same went for similar high-ranking figures.

Ling Ling was no longer the simple girl from before. Beneath her gentle exterior was the experience of three thousand years.

Thus, the Tower Society and the Abandoned Tower Society crumbled, only the Earth Tower Society, secretly supported by Ling Ling, remained.

However… this also meant that Ling Ling, who should have faded into the background, was once again in the spotlight.

No one dared to ignore the Great Sage, and the Federal Council was once again powerless, wasting Ling Ling’s efforts of several cycles.

It was Luo Xue’s arrival and Su Yiyao’s warning that made Ling Ling decide to act decisively.

She had originally planned to wait until the Tower Society and the Abandoned Tower Society exhausted themselves, then take over, after all, she had plenty of time and patience.

With the High Tower civilization back on track, Ling Ling also found time to come to the Xuangu Ship, preparing to witness the first direct communication between two worlds.

For this, Luo Xue had used almost all the available modules on the ship. Although her formation skills weren’t as good as Li Guijiao’s, she was still considered a master.

And for some reason, this Xuangu Ship didn’t have any defenses against Luo Xue, granting her full access, except for dismantling the ship itself.

Tracing the origin of that short response and establishing a communication channel were both incredibly difficult.

Through her research, Luo Xue gradually understood the fundamental difference between the two worlds.

Ceres, in the post-apocalyptic world, had told Luo Xue about two theories regarding deep space: the “World Bubble” theory and “string theory.”

Qualcomm had developed the “string vibration device,” trying to enter another world by changing “string vibrations,” but it had attracted a deep space behemoth, indirectly causing the first great disaster.

Qualcomm’s device and his theory weren’t wrong, but the World Bubble theory and string theory both existed simultaneously.

Different worlds existed within different world bubbles, and within the same world bubble, different worlds were distinguished by their “string vibrations.”

But for a stable world, there was likely only one frequency of “string vibration.”

Disrupting the “strings” meant tearing open an unstable rift in a stable world, a rift leading to the strange place called “deep space” or the “Primordial Chaos,” where deep space behemoths or otherworldly demons, craving life, would emerge, bringing unimaginable disaster.

The Great Thousand Worlds and the post-apocalyptic world were in two different world bubbles, their only connection the Primordial Chaos that filled the space between them.

But because of the vast distance and the invisible “world bubble barrier,” even communication between them was difficult.

If not for this unknown response, Luo Xue wouldn’t have been able to find a way to the Great Thousand Worlds while conscious.

Now, the situation was different.

“Xiao Yao, get ready.”

Luo Xue looked at Su Yiyao, her expression serious.

This was their first attempt at communication, and she wasn’t sure if there would be any problems, a rune prepared to instantly interrupt the formation.

Su Yiyao nodded seriously, a hint of pride in her heart. At least in this aspect, she was more helpful to Ah Chou than Ling Ling.

Ling Ling noticed the subtle look in Su Yiyao’s eyes. Except for the oblivious Xue’er, they both understood each other’s thoughts.

However, this concerned their lives, and the cautious Ling Ling wouldn’t cause trouble at this time. She sat quietly at a distance, watching this interdimensional communication.

“Let’s begin.”

Luo Xue took a deep breath and activated the formation she had prepared.

Dazzling formation runes floated up, their light flickering, and a spark of light containing information was placed within the formation. Su Yiyao closed her eyes, and the communication formation activated.

Luo Xue and Ling Ling held their breaths, waiting for a response.

After what seemed like an eternity, Su Yiyao’s face turning slightly pale, and just as Luo Xue was considering interrupting the formation, a familiar voice rang out.

“…This thing again? How persistent!”

“It worked!”

Luo Xue’s pupils constricted, but then she saw Su Yiyao open her eyes, a purplish-red light within them, a sign that she was circulating her divine beast bloodline at full power.

“Eh… Phoenix Venerable and the Phoenix Emperor should be at the front lines, why is their aura here? Strange.” The voice echoed again, seemingly puzzled.

“Ah Chou, you can talk now,” Su Yiyao said with difficulty, “I… can’t last much longer, maybe a quarter of an hour at most.”

This interdimensional communication through bloodline resonance was a great strain on Su Yiyao, consuming not just spiritual power, but her bloodline’s power.

Luo Xue, knowing Su Yiyao’s situation, didn’t waste any time and asked immediately,

“Who are you? Where are you in the Great Thousand Worlds? What year is it, and which era? Why are Phoenix Venerable and the Phoenix Emperor at the front lines?”

After this series of questions, the other party was clearly stunned, then after a while, said,

“Holy… it can talk…”

Luo Xue didn’t know what this celestial ship’s communication formation looked like to the other party, but it couldn’t be anything normal.

“Please answer quickly, this is important.” Luo Xue said quickly. “I’m connected to the Nangong clan, considered… on their side.”

Luo Xue said this because the voice, when mentioning Phoenix Venerable and the Phoenix Emperor, sounded like they were talking about allies, not enemies.

And Luo Xue didn’t want to reveal her and Su Yiyao’s identities yet, so she chose this compromise.

“The Nangong clan?” The other party seemed surprised. “Are you… from the Ancient Demon Lands?”

“Ancient…”

Hearing this term, Luo Xue’s pupils constricted.

Only one place referred to the Great Thousand Worlds as the Ancient Demon Lands.

The nine provinces and four domains…

Luo Xue hadn’t expected to connect with them. She didn’t know who the other party was…

The voice, or rather, its tone, sounded familiar, but the other party was deliberately masking their characteristics, making it difficult to even determine their gender, so Luo Xue couldn’t remember.

“Who are you?”

The other party immediately became wary, a hint of hostility in their voice.

Luo Xue remembered that when she left the Great Thousand Worlds, the nine provinces and four domains hadn’t reconnected with it yet. Their impression of the Great Thousand Worlds was just the sealed Ancient Demon Lands, and when mentioning this place, they should be curious, not hostile.

But now… the situation was different.

And when mentioning Phoenix Venerable and the Phoenix Emperor, the other party said they were at the front lines…

Could it be that the two sides were at war?

“I am…” Luo Xue hesitated, then said, “Li Guijiao.”

She silently apologized to Senior Sister Li. She would apologize in person later…

The reason Luo Xue didn’t reveal her true identity was that her position was awkward.

After all, she was the ruler of the barbarian lands…

If the nine provinces and four domains were at war with the Great Thousand Worlds, the barbarian lands’ stance was uncertain, so the cautious Luo Xue could only use Senior Sister Li’s name again.

Just then, the other party chuckled.

“You’re saying you’re Li Guijiao?” Before Luo Xue could answer, the voice echoed again. “You might as well say you’re Luo Xue. Li Guijiao has been back for eight hundred years, trying to trick me?”

Senior Sister Li had already returned…

Luo Xue was slightly emotional. In her memory, the nine provinces and four domains and the Great Thousand Worlds were still separated, and Senior Sister Li was still in the Imperial Capital, repairing Immortal Slaughter.

It seemed that during her unconsciousness, a lot of time had passed in the other world.

“Fine, I am Luo Xue.”

Luo Xue said helplessly. “Please tell me quickly, who are you, and what era is it…”

She glanced at Su Yiyao, whose face was pale, and added, “There’s not much time left.”

“Hahaha… Are the prodigies of the Ancient Demon Lands this stupid? You say you’re Luo Xue, then you are? Alright, then let me test you, who is Luo Xue’s mother?!”

Luo Xue was stunned. A test was fine, but why the insult…?

But this question… was awkward. Asking someone who they were…

Luo Xue hesitated, then introduced herself, feeling embarrassed.

“I, Luo Xue, Little Junior Sister of Falling Flower Peak, Peerless Summit Sect, one of the inheritors of the True Phoenix, ruler of the barbarian lands in the Ancient Demon Lands…”

“Stop, stop, who asked about Xiao Xue? I asked about her mother! Her mother, not her!” The other party seemed impatient, and this impatience sounded familiar to Luo Xue.

Suddenly, she thought of someone, and her expression turned strange.

“It’s…”

“Luo Huaxin.”

Luo Huaxin, the famous rogue cultivator in the nine provinces and four domains, the acting Peak Master of Falling Flower Peak, one of the ancient beings.

The other party was silent for a moment, then said, “Knowing this doesn’t necessarily mean…”

“It’s you, isn’t it, Mother.” Luo Xue sighed. “I didn’t even finish the immortal wine you gave me…”

“…”

“You also gave me a cultivation technique, the Heaven Stealing Sun Shifting Art, but it’s not very useful now…”

“…”

“And also the ‘Immortal’s Kowtow’…”

Before Luo Xue could finish, the other party’s disguise dropped, revealing their true voice.

Although slightly distorted due to the interdimensional communication, Luo Xue still recognized her convenient mother’s voice, trembling slightly.

“Is that really you, Xiao Xue…”

Luo Huaxin was in disbelief. In the Great Thousand Worlds, “Luo Xue” had disappeared for thousands of years.

Even Phoenix Venerable and the Phoenix Emperor had given up on finding Luo Xue and Su Yiyao, having witnessed them being swallowed by the Primordial Chaos, their soul lamps extinguished.

The two had even argued and then entered a cold war for thousands of years, only recently reconciling due to the world’s changes.

“Mother, quickly tell me, what era is it now…”

Luo Xue asked immediately, “There’s not much…”

Before she could finish, Su Yiyao closed her eyes wearily, the floating formation runes vanishing, and the communication formation stopped working.

This meant that this rare interdimensional communication was forcibly ended. Luo Xue and Ling Ling only obtained one crucial piece of information: that the Great Thousand Worlds and the nine provinces and four domains were at war. They knew nothing else.

Luo Xue and Ling Ling helped the almost collapsing Su Yiyao up. Luo Xue looked at Su Yiyao’s weakened body, her heart aching.

“Xiao Yao, if you can’t hold on, just disconnect. The formation can be used again.”

Su Yiyao opened her eyes weakly and smiled faintly.

“I just… Ah Chou’s conversation was just getting to the important part… I wanted to hold on a little longer… cough…”

“Don’t talk, rest.” Luo Xue gently pressed a finger against Su Yiyao’s lips and sighed.

Overexerting her bloodline power could damage her foundation.

Although they didn’t get much information, at least one thing was confirmed: interdimensional communication was possible.

And next time, there would be no need to explain her identity to her convenient mother.

Ling Ling placed a bottle of medicine beside Su Yiyao.

“Although I don’t know what this ‘bloodline power’ is, this potion is effective for exhaustion. I’ve tested it, it’s safe for you.”
