DREAM BACK IN CHAOS (Pillow Book Extra)

Chapter-6

This was seven months later.

In the Holy Blue Sea, Fei Wei spoke to Fengjiu about Dijun’s past, when he attended school at the Water Marsh. He was speaking of the formations class that Fushen personally taught.
In a battle between two armies, the arrangement of the battle formation of the soldiers is of the utmost importance. If the battle formation is done right, the enemy can be restrained, and they can make a surprise move to win. It was said that at that time, the ones who did the best in formations class were Moyuan and Donghua. When the two finished the class, they had each
created their own masterpiece. Donghua had forgotten to name his masterpiece, and when Fushen saw it, he named it Qianyuan . Qianyuan means the beginning of Heaven’s laws. Fushen’s meaning was that within this formation was contained all of the principles of the laws of the beginning of Heaven. After that, he picked out the most ruthless and cruel section and created a great formation that could tidily obliterate all of the formations currently existing in the world. It was so terrorizing, it deserved to be called Qianyuan. But then, because of its cruelty and destructiveness, on the day the diagram was completed, after he saw it, Fushen sealed it away permanently, saying that if this formation got out, it would be catastrophic to the people of the world.

Nevertheless, Fushen still gave this masterpiece a high grade, but not as high a grade as God Moyuan’s formation diagram received. When God Moyuan looked over the two formation diagrams, he felt that Donghua’s was actually more clever than his own. He asked Fushen why Donghua had instead received a lower grade than he had, and Fushen indicated that it was because Donghua forgot to give the formation a name, losing a very important place to earn points.

From then on, Dijun indeed never forgot to give his things names again. It was truly all thanks to Fushen. When Fengjiu listened up to this point, she brought up a different perspective. She said that when she was a spirit pet in Taichen Palace, Dijun did not give her a name, only calling her ‘little fox.’ Fei Wei responded, “Oh, because in Dizuo’s eyes, ‘little fox’ was the name he gave you, so you did have a name. It’s possible that he even thought that this name was very cute, and that he was privately very pleased with it.”

Getting back to the point, Fei Wei expressed that he brought these things up to Fengjiu not just for the sake of idle chatting, but because only by understanding the origins of the Qianyuan formation could she understand the current situation. If she could understand the current
situation, even if she were ordered to stay in the Holy Blue Sea and was not allowed leave, she would still have no need to be unnecessarily worried about Dijun.

The current situation in front of their eyes was that after the conference to discuss official business on Zhangwei Mountain seven months ago, Dijun returned to Jiuchongtian, reopened Taichen Palace, and took over the position of God Master. After wielding control over the zhoudu tree scepter that symbolized the greatest authority in the Eight Realms, Dijun removed the seal that Fushen had placed on the Qianyuan formation. Taking the formation out, he led the God Clan’s millions of troops. In not even half a year, he forced High God Fu Ying and the united army of three clans he led back to the Northern Realm.

After Fu Ying retreated to the Northern Realm, he drew out the energy that nourished the land of the Northern Realm, raising a force field that enveloped the entire Northern Realm within it. He led his army to retreat within the force field, shutting themselves in and not coming out. The
force field was raised using the earth energy of the Northern Realm. If they were to attack with force, once the force field was broken, the earth energy would be destroyed, and the entire Northern Realm would also completely vanish without leaving a single trace. In doing this, Fu Ying was betting that the God Clan could not lose the vast territory of the Northern Realm. As expected, the God Clan did not dare to do so, stationing their soldiers at the Jieshui riverbank outside the force field.

The war was so busy that Fengjiu had not seen Dijun for half a year. Also thinking that it seemed that this war would not be ending for a while, she wondered when she could see Dijun again. In the end, on the seventh day after the conclusion of that conversation with Fei Wei, two god
generals arrived at the Holy Blue Sea, saying that they were carrying out Dizuo’s order, inviting her to go to Jieshui for a gathering.

It was already nighttime when they arrived at Jieshui. In Fengjiu’s imagination, with the two armies at a stalemate with each other, there should definitely be a tense atmosphere here. Who knew that there would actually be an attitude of rest and recuperation? In the east of Jieshui
were 10,000 tents, and in the middle was an encirclement of tents decorated with hanging lanterns and colorful streamers. It looked like a joyous occasion. Only after asking did she find out that a general was getting married today. Fengjiu was very taken aback. She curiously asked Fei Wei, “You can actually even get married on a battlefield?” Fei Wei was also very taken aback. “Miss Xiao Bai, in that era that you’re from, could there actually even be such strict rules that do not allow the god generals to marry on the battlefield?”
