Seemingly sensing his thoughts, the God of Memory said, "These are not things you should be concerned about."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "I wonder if there's anything I can do for you right now?"
The stars in the dome flickered, as if they were contemplating something. After a long while, the voice of the God of Memory finally rang out: "Recently, the true gods have also encountered some thorny problems. The end times are coming, and Annihilation has become exceptionally powerful. The reason why Mystery hasn't responded to you is because it's busy dealing with this matter."
"Doomsday?" Zuan asked, puzzled. "The true god already stands at the pinnacle of all realms, why would he fear doomsday?"
In retrospect, he had faced some apocalypses over the years, such as witnessing the destruction of the demon world. But later he learned that those so-called apocalypses were just minions of Annihilation, how could they threaten a true god?
“This is different from the kind of apocalypse you’ve encountered before. This time, the apocalypse is behind the Gate of the World…” The God of Memory paused, seemingly unwilling to discuss it in detail with him.
How could Zu'an let such a good opportunity pass by? He asked, "As your most devout believer, I will certainly spread the brilliance of my memory throughout the myriad worlds, increase your followers, and contribute my meager strength to you."
"The most devout believer?" The stars in the dome flickered. "No, you are not, but the most cunning believer."
Zuan: "..."
"However, there is indeed something I need you to do now."
"Great God of Memory, give the order, and I will go through fire and water, even unto death!"
“A major event is about to happen at the Global Chamber of Commerce. As the Messenger of Memory, you should record it.”
"I wonder what is so important that even you consider it?"
"If I already knew, why would I need you to be a witness?"
"..."
The God of Memory then said, "Although a true god knows the general outline of a matter, there is more than one true god in the world. How things will develop and what the final outcome will be are all uncertain."
"According to what you cultivators say, there are fifty Great Daos, forty-nine Heavenly Daos, and one Human Dao."
Zuan suddenly realized that although many things were planned, there was always a variable, and it all depended on whether he could grasp it.
“Great God of Memory, it is my honor to serve you. However, all my former friends have disappeared, and I want to know how they are doing.” Fearing that the other party would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, “I am not trying to make demands. It’s just that if I keep worrying about them, I will not be able to do things wholeheartedly.”
The starry sky above the dome became exceptionally deep: "They are all adventuring in their own destinies, each with their own opportunities. You don't need to worry. They also have their own pursuits and don't want to hide under your protection forever."
When Zuan heard about their adventures, his heart skipped a beat, but after hearing what they said next, he immediately felt relieved. Yes, before they met me, they were all the most outstanding people in the world, so how could I treat them like hothouse flowers?
"Thank you for your guidance. I understand what to do next."
“Very well. Once you have presented me with this matter, I will tell you how to find your friend who was lost in the time-space turbulence.”
Zaun was both surprised and delighted: "Thank you, great God of Memory!"
I'm finally getting some ideas. Every time I think of the ancient mermaid queen and the goddess of Wushan, I can't help but feel heartbroken.
"By the way, you shouldn't go to the other temples, especially the Temple of Annihilation. It probably doesn't like you. If you go and cause trouble, you might be killed," the God of Memory suddenly reminded him.
"Thank you for reminding me." Zuan secretly wiped away the cold sweat. He had actually planned to investigate each temple one by one.
At the time, I thought it was a rare opportunity to get close to the power of other true gods. In other places, it might bring misfortune, but this was his territory after all, so the danger would be much lower.
I never imagined that I would underestimate the power of the true God.
It seems that Annihilation truly hates him to the core. If he hadn't been protected by the two true gods of memory and chaos, he would probably have been punished by the gods long ago.
The other true gods, naturally aware of their own allegiance, would certainly not have any goodwill towards this "heretic."
Soon the starry sky faded away, leaving only the murals on the dome and the divine statue.
Zu An bowed and slowly withdrew.
After casually exchanging a few words with the temple staff, he flashed back to the Chu residence in the capital.
Chu Chuyan was chatting with her mother when she saw him. She was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly went to greet him.
Watching the two of them walk away so naturally, leaving her behind, Qin Wanru felt a pang of frustration. Not only was her daughter siding with outsiders, but her grandfather was also barely talking to her anymore.
"How is it?" Chu Chuyan naturally couldn't sense her mother's resentment.
Zuan briefly recounted his findings to her, omitting many details concerning the true god to avoid bringing her unspeakable danger.
"Are you going to the Global Chamber of Commerce next?"
"Um."
Zaun sighed. He had refused Isabella's invitation when they parted ways in the Dreamlands, but he never expected to meet her again so soon.
"I want to go too."
"???"
"Are you worried that I'll ruin your plans with that young lady?" Chu Chuyan was smiling, but her aloof demeanor always gave people a chilling feeling.
"Of course not, I'm just worried that your presence might cause some unforeseen crises," Zuan said somewhat awkwardly.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you're going to propose marriage, it's really inappropriate to bring me along," Chu Chuyan said sourly.
"Isabella knows you exist..." Zuan chuckled awkwardly. Isabella was one thing, but if her father and even the Universal Chamber of Commerce found out, they would inevitably be displeased. This could affect not only his relationship with Isabella, but also the rare materials needed to reshape Mi Li's body.
More importantly, even the true god said that a major event is about to happen in the Universal Commerce Association, which is obviously very dangerous.
"We've been apart for so long. We finally reunited, but I never expected we'd have to separate again." Chu Chuyan's expression was somber.
Zu An's heart trembled. For him, it was only a few years, but for Chu Chuyan, it felt like centuries had passed. The two had been separated for far too long.
Thinking of this, he took the beauty's hand and said, "Come with me."
"Won't this interfere with your important business?" Chu Chuyan was both surprised and delighted.
"Maybe you can even lend me a hand." Zuan had come to terms with it. The God of Memory was right. He shouldn't always have the idea of wanting to protect everyone. Chu Yan was the most amazing genius in the world, and danger meant opportunity for her.
Moreover, he didn't want her to disappear inexplicably like everyone else when he came back next time.
He couldn't bear the risk of losing her again.
Next, Zu'an visited his daughter at the Sang residence, made various arrangements at the palace, and then embarked on his journey to the Universal Chamber of Commerce.
Among the starships Isabella gave him was the headquarters of the Universal Commerce Guild—the Contract Star Sea, the Palace of Wealth!
