Chapter 334: I Have a Dream

In the Tomorrow Society, the three scholars are the core executors, often responsible for guarding all matters of the Dao.

Mingqi and his wife have become three scholars, which shows their capability. However, the Tomorrow Society truly had no one else to use. Even though they were more suited to research, they still had to multi-task and face dangers directly.

This could also be seen as a policy within the Tomorrow Society, mandating that all members witness the pain and despair of the outside world.

Only in this way can their beliefs become truly powerful.

Though they were only in their twenties, Mingqi and his wife managed to settle in Tomorrow City, undoubtedly benefiting from Yun Ye’s influence and avoiding a series of honing experiences.

As researchers, it was clear that Mingqi and his wife could not tolerate loneliness. While taking care of Yun Ye, they also joined the Central Research Institute to begin a new round of study and research. Each day, one of them would often leave early and return late, immersed in the research lab.

As time passed, both the couple and the Tomorrow Society believed that Yun Ye needed to expand his social circle and meet more people, especially children his own age.

During the long three years of learning, they tried their best not to create pressure for Yun Ye, but what was the actual situation?

They did not know.

They could not see through it.

So, regardless of the true circumstances, they had to give Yun Ye more time to play, to interact with friends, and to experience the lives of more ordinary beings.

Without ties, how could they understand the preciousness of life and the meaning of existence? Such things could not be grasped simply through study; they required an environment and firsthand experience.

“Waiyang, are you ready? It’s time to start school today; hurry down!”

Yufeng shouted at the door.

“Coming.”

The child with black hair and icy blue eyes came down the stairs, yawning. He wore a delicate headpiece adorned with intricate patterns, as if it contained endless mysteries.

Unlike the Xiang Family’s simple Rain Drop Seal, this form had a broader sealing range and stronger efficacy, which also made it larger in size.

However, from an aesthetic perspective, it was quite beautiful, and Yun Ye didn’t mind.

“Make sure to dress well; don’t look like you just woke up!”

Yufeng helped Yun Ye fix his clothes and hair and then nodded with satisfaction.

“Let’s go!”

……

The Cultivator School.

This is the only cultivator school in Tomorrow City, following the philosophy of no entry barriers and teaching students according to their abilities. Any child of the appropriate age can enroll.

This age is three years, but students must pass a test; if their mental assessment is unsatisfactory, enrollment must be delayed.

The cultivator school does not follow an academic year system; graduation depends entirely on individual performance. There is no possibility of slacking off at the cultivator school.

However, since the establishment of the cultivator institute twenty years ago, no one has ever been expelled for laziness.

When Yun Ye arrived at the cultivator school, he was immediately astonished by its size.

The vast area here resembled a learning city more than just a school.

There were numerous multi-story classrooms, expansive playgrounds, and various practical training grounds, all of which illustrated the enormous resources that the Tomorrow Society had invested in building the school.

The number of enrolled children was unexpectedly high, reaching over three thousand.

Compared to the population of two hundred thousand in Tomorrow City, this birth rate is quite high, around 1.5%.

However, it is quite normal, as the Tomorrow Society has always encouraged childbirth, and with Spiritual Law guaranteeing that children will never die from illness, the population naturally sees explosive growth.

If it weren’t for the extremely harsh external environment of the Tomorrow Society and the decreasing spirit energy in Tomorrow City, this population growth rate would not align with the extraordinary means to influence fertility in Tomorrow City.

“Yun Ye, smile a bit; don’t look so gloomy! This is a place where you can make good friends. You don’t want to be alone all the time, do you?”

Yufeng tugged at Yun Ye’s face.

“Mom, I just feel that the spirit energy here is too low. Don’t they want people to cultivate?”

Yun Ye replied helplessly.

“There are too many new students. Thousands enroll each year, and even if we supply half the spirit energy from the whole city here, it wouldn’t be enough. If you truly want to cultivate, you’ll have to wait for your missions and travel to Huangzhou. The spirit energy pressure will ease then.”

Yufeng let go, saying, “Alright, go on!”

She gave Yun Ye a gentle push towards the teacher.

“Okay… goodbye.”

Many thoughts flashed through Yun Ye’s mind. Indeed, his biggest realization over the years was that the Tomorrow Society was resource-poor, forcing them to develop many technologies that did not require spirit energy. Many scholars researching Spiritual Law were sent out into the world; it seemed they did not prioritize it, but in reality, they simply couldn’t afford to.

Yufeng waved and left.

Yun Ye saw that Yufeng did not leave the school but entered another area, indicating that Mingqi and his wife were carrying out their research work within the school.

“Class One, gather here!”

“Class Two, this way!”

In the bustling voices, the teachers marked their students, guiding them to stand in front of them.

Each teacher processed fifty children.

Thanks to Spirit Law guidance, the efficiency was very high, and the class division was completed in just one minute.

Yun Ye belonged to Class One.

From his observation, the temperament and energy of the Class One children were noticeably superior to those in the other classes; they should be considered top students.

While anyone could receive an education at the school, it fundamentally aimed to sift out those with talent.

In this extraordinary world, where qualifications could be assessed, a person’s future was determined from the start, making it exceedingly difficult for later efforts to make up for it.

In such circumstances, resources often tilt toward the most gifted individuals.

After a century of operating under this model, the entire organization would surely undergo a dramatic transformation, eroding the organization completely.

Fortunately, this world has the existence of Dao Tools, which defies reason; while it oppresses countless people, it also directly ensures the purity of the Tomorrow Society, at least at the higher level, preventing those who deviate from the faith from rising to power.

“Bang bang bang…”

The teacher knocked on the blackboard, drawing the attention of all the students.

The teacher for Class One was a modern-looking man dressed in a white windbreaker, wrapping himself tightly, even his hands covered in white gloves, revealing only half of his face, giving off a mystical vibe.

However, in terms of demeanor, the man portrayed no hint of gloom; his smile was bright, and his attire was full of righteousness, with a gentle voice to match.

After all, this was a school, and he chose white clothing to avoid a trust crisis; first impressions are very important.

The man wrote two characters on the blackboard and said with a smile, “My name is Yang An, and I will be your responsible teacher for the next few years. You can call me Teacher Yang. I hope we can get along well in the future.”

As soon as these words were spoken,

At least five of the fifty children had their expressions change; this was a significant person!

Yang An.

He was the younger brother of Yang Shi, the founder of the Tomorrow Society.

Although Yang An’s talents were not as great as his brother’s and he had not achieved much, he was undoubtedly an important figure within the Tomorrow Society.

To become Yang An’s student was enough proof of the Tomorrow Society’s recognition of their talents!

(So this kid is a teacher in Tomorrow City? It seems being my brother has its perks; at least he doesn’t have to take risks outside.)

Yun Ye smiled slightly in his heart.

This was only natural; after all, he was the brother of the founder, so it made sense that he wouldn’t be allowed to take risks and die in the wilderness.

Yun Ye sincerely felt happy about this. He was not a saint; he hoped that not only family members but even acquaintances would not have to sacrifice themselves if possible.

—Even if his reincarnation had set a thick wall between him and his past.

“Classmates, let’s start introducing ourselves from the door side. You can share your name, dreams, and hobbies. I’ll start: My name is Yang An, I enjoy strategy games, and my dream is to be a teacher who earns applause from others. I am currently working towards that goal.”

Yang An guided the atmosphere.

The first child sitting near the door immediately stood up to introduce himself, filled with confidence: “Hello, Teacher Yang, hello everyone! I am Tian Jialun. I love painting. Although I haven’t yet successfully made a talisman, I hope to become a great talisman master in the future!”

“A talisman master? That’s a great dream! An excellent talisman can often save warriors’ lives. I hope you can persist on this path!” Yang An praised him.

“Next student.”

“Um… I want to become a cultivator, help my dad hunt demons, and become a guardian of Tomorrow City! My name is Dong Feng, and I hope to be friends with everyone!”

“I want to become a scholar, to create a great New Dao, and make everyone proud to use my technology!”

“I want to be someone like Chief Tian Jing, leading everyone and becoming their strength…”

The introductions continued steadily.

Even though this group of relatively talented children had very innocent self-introductions, for some reason, Yun Ye found them incredibly engaging; he didn’t feel dazed or distracted.

The innocent likes and dreams they shared proved the vibrant spirit of the Tomorrow Society.

In such an environment, perhaps some dreams were not as far-fetched as they seemed.

“Please sit. Next student.”

Yang An’s gaze fell upon Yun Ye.

The children’s eyes turned towards him as well.

It was Yun Ye’s turn!

Yun Ye stood up and, like most of the children, showed a smile, but his was more pronounced and radiated confidence. Paired with his outstanding appearance, he had an incredibly strong charisma.

“My name is Ming Waiyang. I love delicious dishes and games, but what I love the most is realizing dreams!”

“I have a dream that seems difficult to achieve, and for that dream, I am willing to put in a hundred times the effort… I want to defeat all enemies and establish a fair kingdom, where there is no suffering, no exploitation, and people can freely pursue their dreams. If I had to describe it, I would say it’s like a heavenly kingdom?”

“If you also want to chase your dreams, come and be my friend! I can definitely become your friend, even if our dreams aren’t the same!”

The morning light illuminated the entire classroom.

Yun Ye’s declaration echoed for a long time.

All the children, including Yang An, were slightly taken aback.

This guy…

Was different!

He was unlike anyone before him!

What was this belief radiating from him?

“You, what are you trying to show off for? Even if we’re going to bring peace to the world, that’s my mission! You can just be my assistant, and in the end, the one leading everyone will surely be me—remember my name! Yong Fa! The man destined to become the chief in the future!”

The quietness lasted only for a moment before a child suddenly stood up and shouted.

The boy with a spiky haircut was the first to break free from Yun Ye’s influence.

He had U-shaped pupils, which were now shining, countering the involuntary power released by Yun Ye.
