Chapter 2848: Chapter 1215: Blessings of the Qi Man

Gaven followed back, not simply to inquire about the effects of the Primordial Dream Spirit Headband; upon seeing its attributes, he could basically imagine them.

He planned to take the opportunity to disclose his biggest secret, as he was never someone to hesitate. Since he had made up his mind, he would follow through.

This matter naturally begins at the starting point of everything—Zalanda.

The person most concerned about Gaven’s time traveling should be her, since she watched him grow up.

Other people had only interacted with Gaven after his time travel reincarnation, and were instead not particularly aware of his origins.

At least, in Gaven’s speculation, that seemed to be the case.

"A secret?" Zalanda’s heroic eyebrows involuntarily raised as she asked, "What are you planning to confess? Your intimate relationship with Lord Virginia? Or your unclear connection with Ms. Philancy? Or perhaps that little Dragonborn lover in Colossus City?"

"You knew about all of it!" Gaven’s expression was somewhat awkward, yet he no longer felt the initial unease.

The attitudes of the various women unconsciously bolstered his confidence.

The blessing of having all these women, what man wouldn’t desire it?

Unless he’s lying through his teeth.

Gaven naturally had the most orthodox masculine thoughts, desiring harmony among the women while they remained faithful to him.

The series of charisma-related special abilities he activated seemed random, but in reality, were the truest reflection of his soul consciousness.

"Did you think you were hiding it very well?" Zalanda asked with mild displeasure.

"Hehe..." Gaven laughed dryly, getting straight to the point, "What I’m going to confess to you now isn’t that, but my true origins. I’m not the original Gaven... but someone who has traveled through time and been reincarnated..."

Once he started speaking, he suddenly realized that this matter was not as difficult to discuss as he had imagined. He succinctly explained his story over four lifetimes, then looked at Zalanda somewhat anxiously.

Zalanda didn’t react with anger, surprise, or sadness as he expected. Instead, she maintained a calm demeanor from beginning to end. Once Gaven finished, she blandly asked, "Is that all?"

"That’s all!" Zalanda’s reaction left Gaven unsure of how to respond.

"Whether you’re talking about time travel or reincarnation, it’s just a concept. Your current body is Gaven’s, and you have all his memories. It’s just that you have additional soul memories from another world.

How can you be sure that you time-traveled as a soul consciousness and not reincarnated as a soul consciousness into this world, and upon stimulation, awakened memories of a previous life?" Zalanda posed her first counter-question.

"Uh..." Gaven was dumbfounded.

He had never considered this issue from that angle.

From the perspective of reincarnation, Zalanda’s explanation was equally reasonable.

There might not have been any four lifetimes at all; it had always been a single soul consciousness.

He was Zhang You on Earth and Gaven on Felen.

Not even the world is the same; the timeline is naturally incredibly blurred.

It’s quite possible that Zhang You on Earth died countless years ago, and only then did Gaven exist.

Zalanda didn’t wait for Gaven’s answer and instead posed a second question: "How are you sure you were reincarnated? Perhaps from start to finish, the future you speak of was just a dream you’ve had... What is the expression for that again... A fleeting dream?"

This time, Gaven was no longer confused and replied firmly, "It’s definitely not a fleeting dream... The fragments of the High-level Divine Artifact Tears of Sulun that I used for reincarnation are still in my soul consciousness... Many things I’ve experienced since reincarnation have aligned... I’ve already altered the destinies of many people, including yours..."

It’s just that when he said this, he was noticeably less confident because the matter seemed to have other explanations.

Just as expected.

Before he could finish speaking, Zalanda threw back a series of new questions: "The Tears of Sulun don’t prove anything; it might have been the one to induce your fleeting dream... As for all the things you say have aligned after reincarnation, a powerful Prophecy Technique can achieve similar results..."

Through Zalanda’s dialectical rebuttal, Gaven’s thoughts instead became clearer, and he responded, "Whether it’s time travel or soul consciousness reincarnation, I can’t prove it myself.

However, whether it’s reincarnation or just a fleeting dream, I can distinguish because when I woke up back then, many things on me couldn’t be explained by a prophecy, like my possession of Legendary Warrior combat techniques, and the Legendary Warrior Soul Resonance ability within me, which indirectly validates that everything truly happened..."

"Does it matter?" Zalanda posed the final question.

"Doesn’t it matter?" Gaven couldn’t gauge her thoughts for a moment.

"I don’t love the Zhang You you mentioned, nor the original Gaven, but the foolish boy who left behind a Book of Strategy and a mess, then secretly ran away, leaving a letter telling me not to marry.

The young lord who carved a path for countless people to find a new life in the wilderness.

The young demigod whom even the gods are willing to extend an olive branch to, and whom countless mortals wish to follow... Uh... uh... gently... gently..."

Although Zalanda never said a word of love, to Gaven’s ears, every word was a declaration of love.

Because what she said all converged into one sentence: I love who you are now, not who you were in the past.
