After one living soul discovered this ability, other living souls quickly followed suit, entering the dream worlds of their descendants.
That night, the Chen Clan was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Countless clan members murmured in their sleep.
In the Clan Chief's bedroom, the other clan members had long since retired for the night, but Ethan Chen, as the Clan Chief, was still pondering the future direction of the clan and the supplies needed for the clan members to survive the winter.
When it comes to clan matters, he couldn't afford to be careless.
As the night grew late, the weariness from a busy day was evident on Ethan's face.
Although Blood Condensation Realm Warriors had abundant Qi and blood, his age was catching up with him, and the gradual decline in his vitality made it impossible for him to return to his youthful state.
Ethan stopped thinking and lay down to rest.
In his dream, a figure appeared and disappeared before his eyes, causing Ethan to frown slightly in his sleep.
But as the mist cleared and he saw the figure's face, Ethan shouted in surprise:
"Father? Is that you?"
Seeing the familiar face before him, the sixty-year-old Ethan was visibly excited.
This image was even clearer than the White Fruit on the Sacred Tree, just like how his father looked when he was alive.
"Ethan, you've suffered all these years."
Benjamin Chen's face was gentle as he looked at the old man before him, now of similar age, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.
But it wasn't his fault; the clan's migration back then was fraught with difficulties, and even as the Clan Chief, he couldn't stay out of it.
However, they managed to preserve a trace of the clan's bloodline, which led to today's revival.
"It's not suffering, Father. How have you been down there?"
Benjamin was momentarily stunned by the question. From the time of his death to his awakening by the power of the Sacred Tree, he had no memory of the in-between. He didn't know how he had been.
But to comfort Ethan, Benjamin smiled and replied:
"I've been doing well down there!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Ethan murmured, nodding repeatedly. As long as his father wasn't suffering too much down there, he could be at ease.
"By the way, your elder brothers will also come to see you later. You should catch up with them."
Ethan was taken aback:
"My elder brothers are coming too?"
Though his words were filled with anticipation, Ethan's face showed some unease. If his father and the others were coming to see him today, did that mean they were here to take him with them?
Though he was old, his lifespan shouldn't be this short, right?
The clan's matters were still unresolved, and the next Clan Chief hadn't been chosen yet. Was he really going to leave just like that?
Seeing Ethan's changing expression, Benjamin quickly patted his head, realizing he had forgotten to explain clearly.
Feeling his presence in the dream growing weaker, Benjamin hurriedly explained what had happened today.
"Ethan, listen to me…"
…
"That's how it is. The revival of the clan members' souls is all thanks to the Sacred Tree's power."
"But Oliver, to see you reach today's realm and become the foremost in the clan, I am truly happy for you!"
A hint of pride appeared in Oliver Chen's eyes at his father's praise, as if he had returned to the old days.
However, upon hearing about the revival of the deceased clan members' souls, Oliver still felt a bit confused, even though Edwin Chen had personally told him.
Just as Oliver wanted to ask more questions, the figure before him suddenly disappeared.
…
"Elijah, quickly tell me, which room does my grandson live in? I want to see him personally."
In the dream, Jeremy Chen was excited upon hearing the news.
After all, when he died, Elijah was still unmarried and had no children, which had been a regret for him. He hadn't expected to fulfill this regret today, so how could he not be excited?
After getting the answer, Jeremy Chen decisively exited the dream. After searching several rooms, he finally saw the sleeping Lucas Chen.
Looking at the boy who bore some resemblance to himself, Jeremy Chen was filled with satisfaction.
"Lucas Chen, what a good name!"
"And such a handsome boy!"
Overjoyed, Jeremy Chen didn't hesitate and entered the dream directly.
In the dream world, the two figures gradually appeared in a void.
Jeremy Chen looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar boy before him and softly called out:
"Child, I am your grandfather!"
In the dream, Lucas was initially puzzled and curious, but upon hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on his youthful face, followed by a cold laugh:
"And I'm your father!"
With that, Lucas threw a punch, shattering the figure before him and falling back into a deep sleep.
Jeremy Chen, who was thrown out, was left bewildered. This wasn't how he had imagined it.
What had Elijah been teaching the child!
He would have to talk to him about it tomorrow night!
As for tonight, he felt he could no longer enter the dream.
In the Ancestral Hall, Noah Ji silently sensed the situation in the clan and quickly noticed this.
Although these deceased clan members could enter dreams, there seemed to be many limitations, such as the dream time not being too long. If they encountered resistance from the dreamer, they would quickly exit the dream.
Moreover, each time they entered a dream, the Yin Qi in their bodies would diminish.
Among them, Edwin's Yin Qi diminished the fastest, and his stay was the shortest.
It seemed to be due to his realm.
Dense Qi and blood could also dissipate Yin Qi.
In this way, these living souls had little to no offensive power.
But Noah then thought of his other supernatural power, Armor Overlay.
He wondered if this power could allow living souls to interact with living warriors. If it could, there would be great potential.
However, this Armor Overlay also consumed his vitality.
He didn't have much vitality left now, so he couldn't sustain it. It would have to wait for the future.
Additionally, Noah thought that the greatest use of these revived souls might not be for combat, but for utilizing their experience and knowledge to strengthen the Chen Clan.
In the clan, many living souls had already been passively ejected from the dreams, but their awakened consciousnesses were still very curious about the current clan. At this moment, they were wandering around the clan like lingering spirits.
Fortunately, the clan members couldn't see them, or there would be rumors of hauntings by tomorrow.
But with tonight's dream visits, tomorrow's clan would likely be far from peaceful.
Time flew by, and the sky grew brighter.
With the crowing of the Spirit-Tailed Chicken, the first rays of morning sunlight slowly rose.
As the sunlight shone, the wandering living souls felt as if a blazing fire was scorching their bodies!
The dense Yin Qi in their bodies quickly dissipated under the sunlight, far faster than during the dream visits.
