Villain: I Can See Destiny

104: Chapter 104 Dream 1The young man in black, holding a golden divine sword, knelt on one knee at the cave entrance. His face was deathly pale, with bright red blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He did not blink, his eyes, cold as a hawk’s, staring fixedly into the distance.

Inside the cave, six youths with weary auras sat cross-legged on the ground, with Advanced alien cores of various colors floating before them.

As time passed, the light from the alien cores in front of them grew dimmer and dimmer. Suddenly, the young man in black said, ”That is enough. Transfer all your Origin Qi to me.”

Everyone followed his instructions immediately, as if the young man’s words carried great authority.

With their Origin Qi replenished, the young man’s complexion began to flush with color at a rate visible to the naked eye.

”Follow me.” The young man in black called out, then stood up and walked toward the depths of the cave.

The temperature inside the cave was very low. The further they went, the colder it became. Having lost their Origin Qi, the group began to shiver uncontrollably.

”This place is a teleportation point I designed earlier. I didn’t expect to actually have to use it,” the young man in black explained as he walked.

It grew darker inside the cave. The young man produced a fiery red alien core out of thin air to light the path ahead, and the surrounding temperature rose accordingly.

The chubby boy behind him couldn’t help but complain, ”Captain, if you had this thing, you should have taken it out sooner.” The young man kept walking forward without answering.

The girl in red in the team defended him, saying, ”Shut up, fatty, you talk too much.”

As they spoke, a two-meter-high stone door appeared before them.

The young man stepped forward and pressed a switch. With a loud boom, the stone door slowly rose.

Entering the stone door, there was nothing inside except for a five-pointed star light array on the ground. The array was covered in alien cores: C-grade on the outer perimeter, B-grade in the middle, and at the very center, there were even five A-grade alien cores. All the alien cores were water-blue.

”Jiang Feng, Xia Yanran, Gu Cang, Xiao Huo, Luo Lin, Lin Zhi, you six stand in the center and on the corners of the five-pointed star respectively,” the young man instructed.

The young man in black was named Jiang Hao, and he was the captain of this group.

Everyone stood in their positions as instructed.

Seeing that Jiang Hao did not enter the array, Xia Yanran asked, ”Brother Hao, why aren’t you coming in?”

Jiang Hao shook his head, ”This array can hold a maximum of six people at a time.”

”Then can we teleport consecutively?” Fatty Luo thought of the crucial point.

The others also looked at Jiang Hao with anticipation. Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Hao shook his head again, ”No, there is a three-day cooldown period.”

Xia Yanran’s eyes instantly turned red, ”No, Brother Hao, I’m not leaving! I’m staying with you!”

The others also chimed in, ”We share the same hardships and the same blessings!”

”That’s right, if we die, we die together!”

”Captain, I can’t abandon you and run away first!”

”...”

Jiang Hao patted Xia Yanran’s head, ”What are you thinking?” He then looked at the others and said with feigned ease, ”The six of you combined aren’t enough to beat me, so why worry about me? Without you dragging me down, I would have run away long ago!”

Jiang Feng seemed to remember something and turned to the others, ”That’s right, Brother Hao has the Space Gate! If it weren’t for covering us, Brother Hao would have escaped long ago.”

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in shame, feeling that they had dragged their captain down.

While they were talking, Jiang Hao had already activated the space array.

Xia Yanran still had her brows tightly locked and opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by Jiang Hao, ”Trust me, it will be fine.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding white light appeared, and the people in the array vanished along with it.

Seeing them leave safely, Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he looked down at his right hand. Let alone the Space Gate, he couldn’t even retrieve the sword he had just put into the Void Realm.

He returned to the cave entrance and leaned against the stone wall, waiting for his fate to arrive.

Suddenly, a red shadow flashed across the sky, and in an instant, a red-haired woman appeared before Jiang Hao.

The woman had an alluring figure with curves in all the right places, making it impossible for anyone to look away. Her red hair was draped casually over her shoulders, and her devilish face, paired with a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, could ignite a man’s desire with just one glance.

Facing such a beauty, Jiang Hao did not have a ripple of emotion; his eyes remained calm.

”Red Dragon, what is your goal?” Jiang Hao said expressionlessly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

”You figured it out?” A hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of Red Dragon’s mouth.

”As a Mythical-level existence, if you really wanted to kill us, it would be as easy as flipping your hand.” Jiang Hao still had that much self-awareness. Awakening at A-grade mid-tier? The number one Genius of the Human Race? In front of a Mythical powerhouse, he was nothing.

”That’s right, I really didn’t want to kill you. It just so happens that I’ve been looking for some human slaves recently, and I happened to run into you, so I just did it in passing.”

”However, you really have guts, daring to venture so deep in here. Is it because of this strange ability of yours?”

”You’re quite capable, actually managing to rescue people from under my nose.” Red Dragon carelessly toyed with the dozen-centimeter-long nails on her left hand with her right. ”However, it doesn’t matter that they ran away; you are far more useful than them.”

”Become your slave? You must be dreaming!” Jiang Hao said with a look of disdain.

”That’s true. A Human Race Prodigy like you is, after all, different from those people in the Alien Cult. I can make an exception and let you become my attendant.”

”I would rather die standing than live kneeling.” Jiang Hao said, ready to face death.

”Hmph, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.” Red Dragon, somewhat annoyed, pulled a whip tens of meters long from the Void Realm and lashed out at Jiang Hao in the air.

Below, Jiang Hao was whipped until his skin split and his flesh was torn, covered in blood. Yet, he gritted his teeth and remained silent, like a defeated general—though disheveled, he remained proud.

Seeing this, Red Dragon felt bored.

”Human boy, remember that this Empress is called Hong Anqing. Let’s make a bet.”

”This is... the Stone of Three Lives!”

”Jiang Hao! What are you daydreaming about, staring out the window again?”

An angry voice came from the teacher on the podium.

Jiang Hao stood up and said very sincerely, ”I’m sorry, Teacher Wang.”

Seeing Jiang Hao’s appearance, Teacher Wang sighed helplessly, ”Sigh! Forget it.”

He really couldn’t do anything about this Jiang Hao. He heard that apart from Teacher Lin’s class, Jiang Hao was either daydreaming or sleeping in other classes. He couldn’t do anything to him over these trivial matters. One had to know that this school was an elite school, and the students all had backgrounds that were, to varying degrees, extraordinary, while he was just a geography teacher with no connections.

Jiang Hao collected his thoughts and pretended to listen to the lecture seriously, while in reality, he continued to stare blankly at the blackboard.

In fact, Jiang Hao was not from this world—or more accurately, not from this era. He was a person from a thousand years ago.

In his previous life, in 2022, on the ”Day of the Divine Descent,” Jiang Hao had been crunched in one bite by a monster that looked like a tiger but had a pair of iron wings.

For Jiang Hao, who loved reading novels, the concept of Rebirth was not hard to understand.

Coincidentally, Jiang Hao had the same name in his previous life.

The Jiang Hao of this world was 18 years old this year. He had his Awakening of memories two years ago, but the original body’s memories did not disappear, nor did they undergo Fusion with him. They were just stored like videos, which Jiang Hao could watch at any time, but they could not have too much influence on Jiang Hao.

Therefore, this made it difficult for Jiang Hao to distinguish whether he was a case of Possession or Rebirth.
