Chapter 1599 Awakening (3)
Inside Yun Wuhan's study, Yun Wuhan sat across from Yun Lintian and poured two cups of tea for both of them. He calmly took a sip and said. "Do you have something to tell me?"
Yun Lintian looked silently at his father. No matter how he looked at it, Yun Wuhan on Earth and Yun Wuhan in front of him were exactly the same person. Whether it was his demeanor or the way he spoke, everything was identical. This made Yun Lintian feel like he had turned back the clock to his younger days.
A moment later, Yun Lintian took a deep breath and spoke. "Everything here is nothing more than an illusion."
Although Yun Lintian didn't want the current situation to end, he knew that he couldn't stay here forever. There were people waiting for him outside. He could not stop here simply because he wanted to be with his father again.
"Illusion?" Yun Wuhan was puzzled.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and explained. "Yes. It's an illusion. Dad, you are currently living in an illusory world created by a mysterious power. You are not real. No one here is real."
Yun Wuhan's pupils shrank, and his body trembled slightly. As the patriarch of the Yun Clan, his comprehension was naturally strong. He immediately understood what Yun Lintian wanted to convey.
He drank a few mouthfuls of tea to calm himself down and asked. "Is this the reason why you have become stronger?"
Yun Lintian calmly refilled his father's teacup and said. "This is my true strength in the outside world. Before this, I was confused by this illusion and had forgotten about my true self. Xu Zhenya's attack helped me regain consciousness and remember my true identity."
A hint of sadness appeared in Yun Wuhan's eyes upon hearing this. He didn't expect that he wasn't a real person, but rather an illusion created by someone's power.
He raised his head to look at Yun Lintian and asked. "This means we are not father and son."
Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "You exist in reality, Dad. We are a real father and son in the outside world. However, we have been separated for a few years now and I don't know where you are."
"Really? There is me in the reality?" Yun Wuhan was surprised. "What about the Yun Clan?"
"There's no such thing." Yun Lintian answered. "There are only two of us, and we live in a world where profound strength doesn't exist. It's a mortal world through and through."
"I see." Yun Wuhan nodded gently. "How are our lives over there?"
"We have a happy life. You work as a teacher, Dad. Meanwhile, I am a doctor." Yun Lintian answered with a hint of nostalgia in his voice. The scene where he lived happily with his father emerged in his mind. It was one of the most precious periods in his lifetime.
"A teacher?" Yun Wuhan chuckled. "It seems that he and I have the same personality."
Yun Wuhan in this world also loved teaching young people. If he was born in an ordinary family, he would definitely become a teacher.
"Indeed. You two are identical." Yun Lintian said with a smile.
Yun Wuhan opened the drawer and took out a smoking pipe.
Pata!
Yun Wuhan lit his smoking pipe and took a deep breath before exhaling a plume of white smoke. The two of them fell silent for a long while. There was only the sound of the pipe burning at the tip accompanying them.
A moment later, Yun Wuhan asked. "Are you leaving soon?"
Yun Lintian's heart tightened, and a wave of sorrow washed over his mind upon hearing this. Back on Earth, he didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to his old man. This time, it was him who was leaving. He didn't know how to react in that moment.
Seeing this, Yun Wuhan smiled and said. "You don't have to be sad. Although I don't know why we are separating in reality. I believe we will eventually meet again in the future. Don't forget to tell him about me at that time."
"I will." Yun Lintian nodded heavily. His voice trembled slightly.
"How many daughters-in-law do I have?" Yun Wuhan asked jokingly.
"A few." Yun Lintian laughed. "Don't worry. I will give you plenty of grandsons and granddaughters."
"Good!" Yun Wuhan laughed along.
After sharing a good laugh, Yun Wuhan stood up and approached Yun Lintian, extending his arms. "Come. Give me a hug."
Yun Lintian wasn't embarrassed by this. He stood up and hugged his father tightly.
Yun Wuhan patted his son's back and said. "I don't know what you are facing right now, but I know you will eventually come up on top in the end. "Take good care of yourself."
Tears welled up in Yun Lintian's eyes upon hearing this. Since Xia Yao's death, he had never cried again, but this time it hit differently. Perhaps he had been longing for his father deep down in his heart all this time.
"I know." Yun Lintian replied in a trembling voice.
Yun Wuhan stepped back slightly and gently patted his son's face. "I didn't know before that my son is a crybaby."
Yun Lintian chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. He took a deep breath and said. "It's time for me to go."
"Go." Yun Wuhan smiled warmly.
"I'm leaving, Dad." Yun Lintian spoke and a white light abruptly wrapped around his body.
Right at the moment before Yun Lintian completely disappearing, there was a subtle change in Yun Wuhan's eyes as he looked at him. He spoke. "You have grown up, son. I'll be waiting for you."
Yun Lintian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"Dad!?" Yun Lintian reached out, trying to get rid of the white light but it was futile. His vision abruptly turned white and he soon found himself standing in the spacious hall with the altar in the center.
"Was it you, old man?" Yun Lintian muttered to himself, lost in a daze. Yun Wuhan earlier was clearly not the same person as before. It was clearly his old man in reality... But how could it be possible?
Yun Lintian took a few deep breaths to calm down and turn to look at the altar. Suddenly, a group of starlights appeared on top of the altar, and a message appeared on it.
"Congratulations. You have passed the first trial. Please proceed to the next stage."
