Chapter 13 - Reality and Fantasy (1/2)

Though war had never truly decended, the atmosphere between the planets remained utterly tense.

The Federation had suddenly ammended the Enlistment Law. Qin Fen had no choice but to take a bit more time in considering his decision.

He pondered quietly for a few seconds before filling out the application form with zest. The direction of his ambition pointed toward the army.

A war between the planets should begin with engagement using cosmic warships and space fighters. Only at the very end would the army be dispatched and land to fight, executing the order to occupy a territory.

If war truly did emerge, being a common citizen wasn’t necessarily safe. Being a soldier, particularly of the army, was probably safer than being a common citizen.

Qin Fen let out a sudden drawn out yawn after he finished filling out the form. His mind, radiating with energy a moment ago, felt extremely weary in the blink of an eye.

Tired! Qin Fen Qin Fen felt an enormous sleepiness never felt before engulf his entire body. He forced himself to keep his eyes open as he stood up. He used a supernatural will to resist the sleepiness that assulted his entire body and walked to the side of his bed, drained of energy. He climbed under the sheets.

Finally sleepy This thought flashed in Qin Fen’s mind as he sunk into murky sleep.

The moon outside the window radiated a clear light, passing through the dilapidated window–one who’s glass had been wiped extremely clean–to shine on Qin Fen’s body.

Qin Fen’s body bathed in the moonlight, his breathing drawn-out and peaceful. A glowing dot flickered like a star on the spot between his eyebrows.

Qin Fen, deep asleep, discovered himself to be floating in a vast darkness of space.

How big was it? Qin Fen could not say himself. He raised his eyes to gaze within this darkness of space. It was clear that there weren’t any light, yet it seemed that he was able to look far into the distance. There was the feeling that his vision wasn’t hampered at all.

“Is this….” Qin Fen looked all around him in marvel, “a dream?”

A very strange dream! Qin Fen soon ascertained his thoughts. This was the first time for him; realizing that he was dreaming right at the beginning of a dream.

The dark space suddenly flared, and something like a movie screen appeared out of thin air.

This was a silent ‘wuxia film’, or perhaps an ‘action film’.

Only a few character appeared in this ‘film’, and there was no explanation of any of the character’s backstory. The film just began with a battle.

These people displayed neo martial arts and paleo martial arts often. The power of every strike allowed Qin Fen to conclude that he was indeed dreaming.

There were rumors that people could cultivate neo martial art or paleo martial arts to a stage where it was possible to shatter mountains, to a paramount realm where one didn’t need any items of assistance to fly around in outer space. But these were merely rumors. Qin Fen had never seen such instances, at the very least.

The people in the ‘film’ displayed abilities much more fearsome than the rumors. Every single movement of these people was able to destroy mountains. Their fierce battle made the earth tremble in terrifying earthquakes, and countless jets of magma erupted from the ground.

Gradually yet quickly, the fierce battle between these people went into outer space. In a situation without any protective gear, these people completely ignored the existence of the universe’s laws in science and technology. They unleashed crazed attacks on each other, each strike producing enormous energy that was more fiery and more fierce than scenes within a fantasy film.
