The mental devil dissected the uncanny dream into the most fundamental information streams and swallowed them immediately. Smacking its lips and pondering for a long time, it mumbled, "It is indeed a bit weird, but it is not exactly self-contradictory. Or rather, it is exactly this uncanny dream that fills the most critical gap in all the uncanny dreams in the past!"
Li Yao was refreshed. "What do you mean?"
"Look. In fact, the uncanny dreams that we've been having before are divided into two parts, which are completely different, if not opposite, parts."
The mental devil waved its hands and said, "First of all, in our childhood and adolescence, before our spiritual root was awakened, the uncanny dreams we had were all about 'Earthling Li Yao'!
"As for this' earthling Li Yao ', he lived in the 21st century on Earth. He was a common car modification worker. If there was anything extraordinary about him, it would be his racing skills. But that was not a very special ability."
"All in all, this' earthling Li Yao 'was an out-and-out ordinary person. The Earth that he lived in was a plain, peaceful world without spiritual energy, too. He had been living a lackluster life until one day, when he had an accident in a racing car and was killed!
Li Yao nodded. "Yes. That's exactly what happened. Therefore, I always thought that I was the reincarnation of this' Earthling Li Yao ', except that my memories and self-awareness in the past were preserved during my reincarnation for some reason! Am I wrong? "
"You are not wrong," the mental devil said solemnly.
The mental devil said solemnly. "However, after we became Cultivators, especially after we perceived the mysteries of the 'superlative height of the core formation after the battles in the Flying Star Sector, and our soul expanded rapidly, didn't we encounter new uncanny dreams?
"In the new uncanny dream, 'Earthling Li Yao' turned into a warrior who was resisting something that was' too dark and too strong '. In the end, all our companions were killed by the thing, and we were the only ones who escaped.
"The reason why we escaped was to carry out the Vulture Plan to the end and destroy something. Perhaps it was the thing that was too dark and too powerful!"
Li Yao was deep in thought. "Yes. Although I don't remember what I was supposed to destroy, the feeling of despair and depression is still unforgettable!"
"If that's the case, it doesn't make sense."
"Li Yao, the earthling, is just a common car mechanic," the mental devil said. "He is an expert at racing at best. But he has never served in the military, and he is definitely not a warrior who is adept at fighting. How did he get involved with the Vulture Plan?"
"Besides, in our memory, although Earth at the beginning of the twenty-first century was not exactly peaceful, there were no world-wide wars, either! There were two superpowers that controlled Asia and America respectively. Their military power radiated across the entire Earth. They had minor conflicts at best, but they did not completely fall out with each other!
"Then, even if a threat that was' too dark and too strong ', say, a biochemical virus or aliens, the two superpowers would certainly take care of it. Why would a minor car mechanic have anything to do with it?
"If the two superpowers could not be dealt with, it would be even less possible for a minor car mechanic to save the day, right?"
Li Yao nodded quickly. "I was too involved to see the game clearly. You are the one with the most thorough analysis! Indeed. From that point of view, the so-called Vulture Plan does not make any sense at all. The two superpowers on Earth have almost twenty aircraft carrier strike groups, millions of soldiers, and powerful nuclear bombs in total. Even if several Yuanying monsters went to Earth, they might not be able to get anything out of it!
"Even if Earth does encounter a crisis, the two superpowers will certainly take care of it. Why would a common folk have anything to do with it?
"Or is it that one of the two dreams that were completely different from the previous one was fake?"
"Either the identity of 'Li Yao the Car Mechanic' is false, or the Vulture Plan is false!"
The mental devil shook its head hard. "Not necessarily. Not necessarily. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. In my opinion, the key to the puzzle lies in the uncanny dream today."
"Come on. Let's sort out the timeline."
Counting his fingers, he said solemnly, "Long ago, in a place named 'Earth', there lived an ordinary person named Li Yao.
"Earth was a world without spiritual energy, and Li Yao was just an unknown common folk. Except for his superb driving skills, he did not have any special abilities. He was not a secret warrior of a government agency, either. He had never heard of the Vulture Plan, either!"
Li Yao nodded. "That's right. Go on."
"One day," the mental devil said, "Li Yao had an accident while he was racing. Everybody thought that he was dead, but in fact, he was not. Instead, through a certain mysterious way, he met a hideous woman in a suit of spiritual armor who carried a chainsword, a storm bolter, and a storm bolter.
"Then, his memory was blank. He jumped to the end. All his companions were killed, and part of his remaining soul escaped from Earth in a hurry. He swore that he would come back one day and carry out the Vulture Plan to the end!"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and mumbled, "Are you suggesting that Li Yao did not directly travel to the Tian Yuan Realm after the accident but met the hideous woman first? Perhaps, he even joined an organization centered around the Vulture Plan. After the organization was completely crushed by the enemy, he was forced to flee from Earth to the Tian Yuan Realm at the edge of the cosmos?"
The mental devil nodded and said solemnly, "Yes. That's exactly what happened."
"Now that you put it that way, it does make a lot more sense. Otherwise, an insignificant auto mechanic would have nothing to do with the mysterious Vulture Plan at all!"
Li Yao took a long breath in relief. His temples were bouncing, as if thousands of thoughts were about to jump out of his brain.
Rubbing his temples softly, he frowned again. "No. There are still some things that are inexplicable. Even if Li Yao joined a mysterious organization after the accident, what was the meaning of 'welcome to Earth'?
"Li Yao was an earthling in the first place, and he had been living on Earth all the time! What was the meaning of 'welcome to Earth'?
"Generally speaking, only when aliens landed on Earth would the 'earthlings' say such words, right? Was Li Yao not an earthling but an alien in his previous life? That would be hilarious! It's absolutely impossible!
"Also, why was the woman who said the words using magical equipment? Her leather armor, chainsword, and storm bolter were definitely magical equipment powered by crystals instead of the weapons on Earth that were powered by gunpowder and electricity. I can't be wrong about that!
"She should be a Cultivator!"
"That's not right. There are no Cultivators on Earth. How did such a weird female Cultivator pop up out of nowhere? 'Welcome to Earth'? "
Li Yao was more and more confused. He seemed to be mired in a swamp that was swirling nonstop, and he could not find his way however hard he struggled.
He scratched his hair hard, and his eyes turned into two spirals as he mumbled to himself, "Does Earth really exist? Or is it just an illusion in the depths of my brain? "
The mental devil was somewhat confused, too. "Welcome to Earth. The words are indeed weird. In his previous life, Li Yao was an earthling in the first place. Why would an earthling be welcomed on Earth? It is illogical! "
After mumbling to himself for a long time, Li Yao suddenly shuddered and jumped to his feet as if he had an electric shock. He demanded, "What did you say just now?"
The mental devil was shocked by him, too. It crouched and said, "I said, why would an earthling be welcomed on Earth?"
"Not that one. The next one. The last one!"
Li Yao shuddered beyond his control, as if he had heard the most dreadful spell in the world.
The mental devil was at a loss. Thinking for a moment, it said uncertainly, "It does seem … illogical! Why? Is there anything wrong with it? "
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. His body temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. Every muscle fiber on his face and body was shivering nonstop. "There's nothing wrong with what you just said. But I've heard a lot of people say 'logic' before. Then, something is seriously wrong!
"Also, I remember now. When I proposed to Ding Ling Dong, she said that she was' not a woman who pursued romance '! You heard it, too, didn't you? That was what she said, wasn't it? "
The mental devil scratched its head and blinked. "What's wrong with that? She is not a romantic woman in the first place!"
"Do you still not understand?"
Li Yao bellowed. "The important thing is not whether or not she is a romantic woman; the important thing is why she said 'romantic' and why she understood the meaning of the word precisely! Also, why the people in the world of Cultivators say 'logic' and why she understood the meaning of it, too!
"The word 'romantic' is not a native word in our language but comes from the word 'romantic' in certain Western languages on Earth. If it is spelled in Western languages, it will be 'i'!"
After Li Yao advanced into the Yuanying level, his memory had been greatly improved. He could even recall some of the memory pieces in the deepest part of his brain clearly. Therefore, with a telepathic thought, he retrieved the etymology of the word 'romantic' on Earth from the bottom of his memory bank.
"The word 'logic' is the same. They are all transliterations. It originated from ancient Greek and is now written as' logi '. That's the word' logic 'when transliterated!
"Here comes the problem!
"You and I know the meanings and usages of the transliterations of 'romantic' and 'logic' because we share a memory that belongs to the earthling Li Yao. The two words were passed on from the Western civilizations on Earth from ancient Greece to England before they were translated into Chinese!
