Solaris' Strong Chapter 247: A Long Road Tests a Horse’s Strength

Lucian gazed at Jué, lost in thought.

So even Sentinels dream?

But Lucian suspected the owner of this dream space was soone else.

Just as Lumi was the owner of the previous dream, Chixia had been pulled in for unknown reasons.

It was also possible Lumi dreamt of Chixia, though that seed unlikely.

After all, their only connection was Chixia helping Lumi once.

So Lucian figured it was more likely due to the influence of the Somnoire.

Jué, observing the pensive Lucian, pondered for a mont before her massive dragon head slowly leaned closer.

Lucian: "?"

Jué closed her golden eyes, sensing the frequency emanating from Lucian. Monts later, she opened them, puzzled.

"Strange… it's actually the real Lucian…"

Lucian: "…"

He reached out, grabbing her dragon horns under her majestic gaze, exclaiming, "Wow! It's really the Sentinel!"

Jué: "?"

She shook her head, but Lucian didn't let go, grinning, "Jiao-Jiao, back when we were in the Sonoro Sphere, I grabbed your horns like this, and then…"

Jué's golden eyes turned cold. She suddenly raised her head, tossing Lucian into the air. The next second, she caught him with her head.

Jué said calmly, "Matters of the bedroom should not be ntioned again."

"Based on my current perception, we're in an unknown space, and the flow of ti here differs from the outside world."

A Sentinel is a Sentinel—her sharp insight, honed over countless years, allowed her to notice instantly.

If Jué were the owner of this dream space, they could likely leave now.

Unfortunately, she was just dragged into it, like Chixia.

So Lucian explained the Somnoire to her.

"I see, the Somnoire…"

Lucian asked, "Do you know anything about the Somnoire?"

"The white cat seeking my help said it's connected to Rover."

Jué pondered, "I don't know much. I only know it's a contingency plan set by the Lady Arbiter for the future."

"The Somnoire affecting reality must an sothing went wrong."

"But don't worry. If we close the Somnoire quickly, it won't pose a major threat."

Lucian, lying on Jué's head, said, "I just don't know who the owner of this dream is."

Jué mused, "Theoretically, since the dream's owner dreamt of , they must have t

in reality and placed

on Mt. Firmant."

"That narrows it down significantly."

"Perhaps…"

At this, both had a guess.

Just then, in the swirling snow, a blurry figure slowly approached.

The figure extended a hand, trying to shield against the snow. She wore white boots, leaving footprints that were quickly covered by snow.

Jinhsi stumbled slightly, her face even paler in the blizzard.

Panting, she stood before Jué and said softly, "In the prophecy, you and I must face each other in battle…"

"As Jinzhou's Magistrate, if I alone can resolve Mt. Firmant's temporal chaos… I, Jinhsi, will spare no effort."

[Option 1: Directly tell Jinhsi about the Somnoire. Reward: 50,000 Shell Credits]

[Option 2: Have Jué forcibly take you out of this dream. Reward: 500 Points]

[Option 3: Deceive Jinhsi, using words that contradict reality to shatter her worldview and break the dream. Reward: Poison Milk King]

[Option 4: Let Jinhsi fight Jué; the powerful energy resonance could break the dream. Reward: Immortal Bean (Expired)]

Before Jué could speak, Lucian stood with hands behind his back, "Indeed, you and I must face each other, but not here."

Jinhsi looked up sharply, seeing Lucian's back against her, his sleeves fluttering in the cold wind like an immortal.

But she instantly recognized him, "Lucian? How are you…"

Lucian jumped off Jué's head, "Surprised?"

Jinhsi nodded slightly, "Very surprised. You shouldn't be here."

In her dream, Lucian should be in Jinzhou City helping Master Changli.

Just as Jué was placed on Mt. Firmant, Lucian shouldn't be here in her dream.

After all, in reality, Jinhsi had planned to bear everything alone.

If Changli hadn't brought them to Mt. Firmant to help her, none of this would've happened.

Jué spoke, "So the tiline here is before my battle with you."

Jinhsi frowned slightly, unsure what Jué ant by "tiline," but she replied, "Yes, this is our fated battle."

"By the way, Lucian, you said you and I have a battle too…?"

Lucian nodded, "Indeed. Your battle with Jué is called the Fated Battle."

"But your battle with

is called the Dance of the Clouds and Rain, the Rite of Marriage."

Jué: "?"

Jinhsi: "?"

Jué exhaled heavily, "In this tiline, your relationship with Jinhsi hasn't reached that point."

Lucian shook his head, "No matter. Feelings can be nurtured."

"As the saying goes, a long road tests a horse's strength, and ti reveals a person's heart."

"With enough ti, Jinhsi and I will naturally understand each other deeply."

Jué: "?"

"Isn't the aning of 'ti' you're using a bit off?"

Jinhsi, confused, watched Jué and Lucian bicker, unsure why they seed so familiar.

In this tiline, Jué and Lucian had never t.

This sparked a sliver of doubt in Jinhsi.

Those affected by the Somnoire rarely realize they're in a dream without external interference.

Lucian, seeing her doubt, grew playful, "Jinhsi, are you wondering why I'm so familiar with Jué?"

Jinhsi nodded slightly, "Indeed, it's strange. You shouldn't be on Mt. Firmant, let alone know Jué."

Lucian sighed, "I'll tell you the truth. We're actually in a cycle of reincarnation."

Jinhsi frowned, "Reincarnation?"

Lucian nodded, "Exactly."

"In fact, this is our countless cycle of reincarnation. In each one, you, as my wife, stand by my side to protect and develop Jinzhou."

Jinhsi froze, "…I'm your wife?"

Lucian's serious expression seed genuine, and his familiarity with Jué made Jinhsi believe him a bit.

She pondered, then asked skeptically, "Why are we trapped in reincarnation?"

Lucian's face filled with sorrow, "Because of The Lant."

"The vile Threnodians destroyed our ho. To find a way to save the world, we've had to repeat this cycle over and over!"

Jué: "…"

Keep spinning your tale. I want to see how far you can go.
