All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

This mysterious vital energy has existed since the birth of the Earth. Its existence nourishes this planet; it is the sustenance for all things and the origin of life.

In all the universes, planets with life have the presence of true energy, while those planets without life represent planets whose true energy has been completely depleted.

The reason Bai Jiaxuan was able to absorb this true energy was because of his unique experience—a dream within a dream. His existence was unique, and perhaps it was this uniqueness that allowed him to absorb this unique energy!

Bai Jiaxuan's body, enveloped by a mysterious halo, completely merged into one, and finally turned into a faint white light, disappearing from this world!

As he completely turned into white light, Bai Jiaxuan felt his body disappear instantly. His consciousness began to blur, sometimes clear, sometimes dizzy. The white light in the whole world was too bright, and he could no longer open his eyes.

Perhaps millions of years have passed, or perhaps it was just a fleeting moment, Bai Jiaxuan's consciousness once again entered a state between wakefulness and wakefulness. He had forgotten who he was and where he was!

He felt his consciousness drifting, floating aimlessly, faster and faster, higher and higher!

He had already sensed something was wrong, and fragments of memories were gradually forming in his mind!

He tried to clear his head and tried to remember who he really was!

As memories unfolded, the whole world seemed to slow down, as if images were appearing in the sky.

Among those images were some familiar ones and others unfamiliar ones. As the images multiplied and became more numerous and denser, he felt his consciousness begin to float away once again, and he even felt nauseous!

Wait!

Wait!

I cannot lose consciousness!

It cannot dissipate!

As soon as this thought arose, his consciousness became clearer again, and some familiar memories finally surfaced in his mind!

I am Zhang Peng, and I still need to go home!

Correct!

Come back home!

Come back home!

There are still people I love there, and people waiting for me to come home!

Zhang Peng's memories finally returned to his consciousness. He looked closely at the scenes around him and finally realized what was in those scenes!

Those scenes were dream worlds, in which he saw the romantic courtyard he had visited before, as well as the bloody romance, and the mighty rivers...

More often than not, the scenes depict worlds that are both familiar and strange!

Bai Jiaxuan suddenly laughed!

Even though he could no longer feel his own smile, he was truly happy at that moment!

He probably already knows some of the secrets of his dream!

If he wanted, he could enter another world at any time through these images!

here!

It is his path home; he must find Zhang Peng's world among these countless scenes!

As his consciousness began to take hold, he found that everything around him was becoming more and more real, and the images floating in the surrounding space were becoming clearer and clearer. Upon closer observation, he could even hear the voices of conversations in those images!

The figures in those images are the characters in his dreams. If he wants, he can enter the image again at any time, merge with another character, and experience a new life!

It seems I'm getting closer and closer to the secret of my dream!

At this moment, Zhang Peng felt very happy. As he gained control of his consciousness, he began to carefully observe the floating images.

Unfortunately, there were just too many scenes around, and after searching through them for a long time, I still couldn't find Zhang Peng's world!

However, he believed that the world must exist in these images, and he was so sure because of his intuition!

Yes, it's intuition!

After his body completely merged into the halo, he suddenly understood the origin of true energy. This understanding was as if he had always known it, and he had learned it without a teacher.

And in those scenes, there will be his main world, which has the same feeling!

Because it was bound to happen!

And now he understands that what we call dreams are actually the real world.

These worlds are all so-called parallel worlds!

Each parallel world is like a mirror. There are millions of mirrors in the universe. The image in each mirror is reflected onto another mirror. After millions of reflections, no one can tell which image in the mirror is real and which is the original image in the mirror!

What Zhang Peng is now searching for is the mirror itself that belongs to his own world!

But there are just too many scenes around us!

So much so that Zhang Peng had forgotten about time and space. Unconsciously, he felt the surrounding scenery begin to float up again.

He felt as if he were on a train, with scenes flashing past the window, drifting further and further away, their speed increasing. His consciousness could no longer keep up, and he knew very well that he had to make a choice!

At this moment, he was very clear-headed. Once his consciousness dissipated, perhaps there would be no more Zhang Peng in this world, and his unique personality would completely vanish into the world.

The scene flashed before his eyes, and in an instant, Zhang Peng's entire consciousness merged into one of the images...

Consciousness completely vanished...!

A World Without Thieves

Chapter 1: Shagen

When Zhang Peng's consciousness returned to his mind, he instantly regained consciousness!

Everything around me has changed. The crowd is bustling and noisy, but there is a strange sense of familiarity about it.

In almost a second, he had already integrated the memories of this body.

A smile appeared on his lips once again!

However, to others, this smile appears as a silly grin!

Seeing him grinning foolishly, several fellow villagers nearby quickly nudged him, patted him on the shoulder, and called out.

"Shagen, get on the train. You're going back now. Live your life well. Remember to take good care of your luggage on the train!"

Zhang Peng—no, he should be called Shagen now!

Zhang Peng grinned foolishly and nodded quickly in agreement.

"Uncle, I understand. You can go back now!"

Zhang Peng followed the crowd and got on the bus. Just as he was in a daze, a woman quickly pulled him and called out.

"Silly Gen, what are you standing there for? Come on, there's a seat here!"

Zhang Peng glanced back at the woman, grinned, and quickly followed the woman and another man to find a seat by the window!

The woman's name was Wang Li, and the man's name was Wang Bo. The two were a pair of thieves, or as they say, thieves!

And this world is a world without thieves!

The character that Zhang Peng merged with is the protagonist, Sha Gen!

Shagen didn't have a real name; the villagers just called him Shagen. He was in his early twenties. He had left his hometown in Hebei when he was a teenager to work with the villagers in the snowy area to build temples.

The journey home is long, and Shagen hasn't been home for five years. He has saved up 60,000 yuan in those five years by living frugally. A few days ago, his family sent him a letter asking him to come home. They introduced him to a potential partner.

Thinking about his girlfriend back home, Shagen couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to take advantage of the Spring Festival to go home and use the 60,000 yuan to build a house and get married.

It was around 2000, and 60,000 yuan was indeed enough to build a house and get married in the countryside!

Originally, the 60,000 yuan could have been sent back directly through the bank, but in this day and age, there is a 1% handling fee for withdrawing money from other places. This would have cost 600 yuan, which Shagen couldn't bear to do, so he decided to take the 60,000 yuan with him and take the train back to his hometown.

Shagen started working with his fellow villagers when he was a teenager. He also stayed in the temple in the snowy area and was influenced by the kind-hearted pilgrims every day.

I've always been kind-hearted and unaware of the dangers of the world. To put it nicely, you could call me simple-minded; to put it bluntly, I'm just too stupid!

This simple-minded man was carrying 60,000 yuan and preparing to return to his hometown. Along the way, the villagers kept advising him to be careful with his money. Shagen thought that there were more good people in the world than thieves.

So, as he boarded the train, he shouted something to all the passengers around him.

"Hey! Which one of you is the thief? Step forward so my fellow villager can see!"

While shouting, he didn't forget to clutch his small handbag tightly. The thick handbag was so large that even a thief with a keen eye could tell it contained a lot of money.

It was this shout that made Sha Gen a target of two groups of thieves, more than a dozen people, as he entered the station!

The first group of people was Wang Li and Wang Bo, who were sitting with Sha Gen!

These two are a married couple. They not only steal, but also use scams such as honey traps. They have been in this business for many years and their skills are top-notch!

The couple recently pulled a honey trap, swindling the boss out of hundreds of thousands of yuan, including the boss's BMW, which Wang Bo then drove away!

After succeeding, the two drove their BMW towards the snowy area, intending to make a wish!

On the way, Wang Li suggested that she wanted to retire from the trade, but Wang Bo got angry as soon as he heard that. He said, "With our skills, why should we retire?"

One wanted to quit, while the other wanted to continue, so the two started arguing!

Halfway there, Wang Li got out of the car in a huff and wandered alone on the roads of the snowy area.

Getting off the bus in this desolate place, the distant howls of wolves stirred up fear in Wang Li's heart. With no village or shop in sight, Wang Li was filled with extreme anxiety.

Just then, Shagen and his friends, who had just returned home from the temple, encountered Wang Li on the road.

This is how Wang Li got to know this simple and kind-hearted simpleton.

Wang Li took a liking to Sha Gen because of his simple and kind nature, and chatted with him all the way, acting as his older sister.

After Shagen dropped Wang Li off in town, the two parted ways. Wang Li decided to take the train back alone, while Shagen decided to take the money back to his hometown.

So the two met again at the train station.

As for Wang Bo, after dropping Wang Li off halfway, he realized something was wrong, so he drove back to find Wang Li.

When the couple met, they had another big argument. Wang Li finally told the truth: the reason she chose to quit her life of crime was because she was pregnant. She wanted to do good deeds for her child and didn't want her child to find out that her parents were thieves after the child was born!

After learning that Wang Li was pregnant, Wang Bo was naturally worried about her traveling alone by train, so he accompanied her on the train!

Wang Bo was a very skilled thief, but true to his name, he was cold-hearted.
