“A pitch-black world, white light…” Hearing her description, Zuan was also somewhat bewildered. He seemed to have never heard of any description of this god before, and hurriedly asked, “Under what circumstances did you trigger this?”
Yan Xuehen was lost in memories: "At that time, I was browsing through ancient Taoist classics in the sect's library, trying to find a way to save Chu Yan. I felt like I was taken to a special black and white world. I felt an unprecedentedly powerful pressure that made me tremble all over, and at the same time, I felt an emptiness that made me forget everything... That feeling is really hard to describe in words."
Zu An asked in a deep voice, "What book are you reading?"
"Notes written by an unknown Taoist elder in history. The contents of his notes are wildly imaginative and contain many unbelievable things. He even mentioned a higher realm than the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions. This has always been regarded as nonsense by the Taoist sect and has not been taken seriously. It has been hidden in some corner, covered in dust. But I thought that I could not let go of any possibility in order to save Chu Yan, so I went to read it..."
Yan Xuehen recalled the events of the past. You should know that the highest realm advocated by the Taoist sect is the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions. How could the unknown author not be regarded as a heretic when he said there was an even higher realm?
As she recounted the contents of the notebook, Zu An frowned secretly. The words in the notebook were indeed quite incoherent, sounding like the ramblings of a madman. It was understandable that it had not been valued by the Taoist sects throughout the ages.
In the past, he probably would have thought this was the delusion of a madman, but now that he has access to higher-level information, he thought of another possibility: "The research of that unknown predecessor may have unintentionally attracted the attention of the true god back then, but it is estimated that the true god did not take a liking to him in the end, so he did not grant him power."
"But after being gazed upon by the true god, his mental strength and cultivation were absolutely unable to withstand such terrifying pressure, which is why he went mad and recorded these notes like a madman."
Yan Xuehen's expression changed slightly: "The gaze of a true god is actually this terrifying?"
“That’s the strangest thing,” Zuan said, scrutinizing her. “Your reading of that notebook may have just aligned with the Dao of that unknown true god, so you probably attracted the gaze of that true god just like that senior. But your ending was much better than his. You didn’t go mad, but I didn’t sense any special power in you either. You don’t seem to have been granted any power by him.”
Assassins like Zhao Yuan from the Shadow Tower aligned themselves with the Dao of the God of Annihilation and were granted the power of Annihilation, resulting in a rapid increase in their strength.
Although Yan Xuehen's strength has improved a lot, this is due to her own aptitude and the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth after the world merges, and it is not like the external force of a certain true god.
But if she hadn't been granted power, and logically hadn't been chosen by the true god, she should have been driven mad by that terrifying divine power, just like that predecessor.
Her current state is indeed somewhat strange.
"It's not that there haven't been any changes. I feel that I have reached a higher realm than the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions. My cultivation speed is faster than before. At the same time, sometimes because I cultivate too fast, I fall into a state of emptiness, as if I have completely abandoned human emotions and feel that everything in the world has no meaning."
Zu An suddenly realized: "No wonder you seemed much more distant from me this time."
"Nonsense, what does that have to do with anything?" Yan Xuehen turned her face away in embarrassment.
“Of course it’s related,” Zuan said seriously. “At first I thought it was because you had cultivated your ‘Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter’ to a higher level, so I didn’t take it seriously. But now it seems that the most likely reason is that you were affected by that ‘audience’.”
"But I didn't see any true god that time." Yan Xuehen was also a little nervous. After all, it involved the realm of true gods, and she was worried that she might end up like that senior.
“That’s the strangest thing…” Zu’an pondered for a while, but unfortunately he knew too little about these gods, so he could only cry out in his heart, “Beautiful Master, do you know what god Sister Yan saw?”
Mi Li's lazy voice rang out: "You didn't look for me when you were flirting with those women, but now that you need something from me, you remember me?"
As she spoke, she stretched and appeared beside him, though only Zuan could see her current state.
"Isn't this because I was afraid of disturbing Master's peaceful sleep?" Zu An hurriedly said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing me now?"
"There's no other way but to ask Master Yan, which true god did you encounter? Is there any danger?"
Mi Li scoffed, "Tsk tsk, you were just calling her Sister Yan, but you call her Abbot Yan so formally in front of me. Are you afraid I'll get jealous?"
“Of course, you are my master’s sister, how could I call someone else sister?” Zu An said seriously.
“You have a sweet tongue,” Mi Li couldn’t help but laugh, clearly enjoying it. “I’ve heard about her experience. There was a similar true god who was in a similar situation, but I’m not entirely sure. After all, that true god is known for not caring about anything. How could he possibly cast a glance at a mortal?”
Towards the end, his tone became somewhat doubtful.
"Indifferent to all things?" Zu An's heart stirred. "This seems somewhat similar to Abbot Yan's Supreme Forgetfulness. Could it be that their paths are in harmony, and that she accidentally attracted his attention by reading that senior's notes?"
“Now that you mention it, it’s certainly possible.” Mi Li nodded slightly.
"Who exactly is that true god?"
"You're just worried sick. Do you think I can just casually say the name of a true god?" Mi Li rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
“That’s true.” Zuan thought of those indescribable, terrifying beings.
“But you don’t need to worry. If it was that person who cast a glance at her, it would be normal if she wasn’t granted power. After all, as I said, that person is indifferent to everything and never actively grants power to believers,” Mi Li replied.
Zuan was somewhat worried: "Wouldn't that be meaningless and a waste of a precious opportunity? I've heard that there's usually only one chance to get a glimpse from a true god. If other true gods sense the followers of other true gods, they generally won't participate again."
Yan Xuehen was given the opportunity to meet the true god, but was not granted any power.
Doesn't that mean she'll also be unable to obtain the power of the other true gods in the future?
"Who said that there is only one chance to receive a glimpse from a true god? That is true for most people, but it is definitely different for some special beings. Besides, even if there is only one, it may not be a bad thing. You should know that the one who glimpsed Yan Xuehen is an extremely powerful being, even stronger than the ones you already know."
Zuan was shocked. The true gods he knew of now included Meng, the God of Memory worshipped by the Mirror Historian; Mili, the God of Chaos and Mystery worshipped by the Time Historian; the Doomsday Beast; and the God of Annihilation worshipped by the Shadow Tower. However, he did not know their specific names.
These three are not as strong as the one Yan Xuehen encountered?
