Waking from the dream, I patted the bed beside me and found that it really had been a dream. In that moment of waking, I had genuinely thought my wife-sister would be lying beside me. Unfortunately, reality was never as carefree as a dream.
I picked up the communication jade and shook my head with a wry smile. Who would have thought that what looked like such a simple magical treasure had solved something everyone had hardly dared to imagine for years? With it, we could see whoever we wanted.
She seemed to have noticed me coming out of the study, because Zhao Qian's message arrived soon after. "Brother Tian, you're finally awake. The Three Sovereigns' army has begun steadily advancing its battle line toward Heaven City. It's time to decide the battle lines for our Heaven One Realm."
"Good. This time... how long was I asleep?" I frowned and rubbed the center of my brow. Could several days have passed without me realizing it?
"Seven days. By the standards of time in the Heavenly Dao space, that actually isn't long. But the Heaven City defensive line has undergone unusual changes over these days. Everyone was afraid that Heaven City might contain some variable, so they ordered the battle line forward, at least destroying those changes through attacks before the enemy could make an even greater move," Zhao Qian said.
"Seven days... Hmm. It doesn't matter much to us which of the Three Sovereigns is ready to attack Heaven City first. I'll come over and discuss it." I secretly marveled. No wonder my wife-sister had kept urging me to leave quickly. It turned out that this dream was connected to the Heavenly Dao space. Even if only a few short hours passed inside, the scene would probably be entirely different
