What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 974

A million years ago, the Tunshen Chanchu were already on the brink of extinction.

The main reason was that their reputation was utterly atrocious.

In the Netherworld, they were infamously dubbed shameless thieves—because their practice of devouring divine souls flagrantly violated the natural order. After all, no one wanted their painstakingly cultivated soul power to be quietly stolen away.

Once enough people had suffered at their hands, they began hunting the Tunshen Chanchu with ruthless fervor, driving them nearly to the point of wiping out the entire species. Fortunately, one final egg was preserved. To prevent it from meeting the same fate as its ancestors, the Tunshen Chanchu placed a spell upon the egg to delay its hatching, hoping to bury their legacy in the sands of time and ease the hostilities of the Netherworld’s ghost-immortals.

As a result, that egg remained unhatched for almost a million years. During that time, the Tunshen Chanchu within gained sentience and named himself Sijiu—a reminder never to forget his clan’s vengeance, nor the near-annihilation they had endured.

Thanks to the clan’s ancient inheritance, even inside the giant egg Sijiu was able to cultivate. Nearly a million years later, the day of his emergence finally arrived. By then, he had reached the pinnacle of the Ghost Lord Realm. It was his golden eyes that had once locked onto Ye Yu. Seeing the ghost-immortal before him, Sijiu instinctively believed Ye Yu meant him harm, so he struck him down on the spot and fled the lake for good.

Later, Sijiu realized that one egg shouldn’t be confined to ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) a single destiny. He performed a secret clan art to split his body and soul into two parts. The stronger half remained in the Netherworld’s base camp, quietly siphoning soul power from the ghost tribe to bolster itself—the most traditional and fastest path to strength. The weaker half descended to the human world before he reached Immortal Ascension, going into hiding there.

This dual existence gave him two lives: if one perished, the other could survive. Yet the weaker Sijiu didn’t truly covet the power of a peak Immortal Ascension cultivator. He craved the aura and ascending fortune of those about to break through—after all, when a cultivator ascends, even their domesticated animals benefit from their fortune. That was the greatest windfall of all.

Sijiu’s plan was simple: turn the human world into a breeding ground for stolen fortune. He would prevent every cultivator there from ascending, trapping them indefinitely until he had amassed enough fortune. Then he would return to the Netherworld, merge with his more powerful half, and use that accumulated fortune to step onto his destined path—to achieve the Ghost Emperor Realm. That was his ultimate goal.

Originally, everything was going according to plan. Through constant soul theft, Netherworld Sijiu had already reached half-step Emperor Realm, and all that remained was for Human-world Sijiu to gather enough fortune to join him in forging their path forward.

But fate had other ideas. You, Ye Yu, cut off Sijiu’s arm before either of them could complete their scheme—and in the process you made a half-step Emperor Realm cultivator your enemy.

Because of their linked hearts, Netherworld Sijiu immediately learned of Human-world Sijiu’s demise and, using the Mirror Flower Water Moon illusion, caught sight of your face. It would not be long before he himself ascended to the Celestial Realm to slay you, Ye Yu.

After reading all this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
