Many of the large-scale dungeons Zaun had experienced before were related to the world he had traveled to before, and those dungeons were connected to some dynasties in history.
One or two times could be a coincidence, but if it happens so many times, it would be too foolish to still think it's a coincidence.
He felt as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything; could it be some kind of true god...?
At this moment, Aragorn's voice pulled him back to reality: "When the time comes, we will enter this world. As for our specific identities, they will depend on the path we are on. For example, those in the merchant guild are all on the path of order, so our identities will most likely be within the Ming Dynasty court. What we will do is support the court and rebuild order."
"As for you being the messenger of memory, you should be even less in danger. In this world, your identity will either be that of a historian or one of those Western missionaries."
Chu Chuyan couldn't help but ask, "With the abilities of everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, anyone could easily solve the various problems of this ancient feudal dynasty. Why do so many people need to go in together?"
“Miss Chu has asked a very good question,” Aragorn replied. “Because this world is just a fragment of spacetime that the true god has captured and copied with his great power. Everything has its own way of balance. As we enter, although the Ming Empire’s strength will increase, its enemies will also have followers of other paths entering, and their strength will also increase.”
"However, this time the Grand Elder is personally leading the team, and with the assistance of the Knights Templar, even the biggest storms can be resolved."
Zu An thought to himself, "Don't make any promises you can't keep."
Not long after, the Grand Elder summoned everyone who had participated in the Order Ceremony and explained the precautions for this event.
Zuan noticed that in addition to the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder, the other five elders would also be attending this time.
In addition, there were members of the Knights Templar, as well as other invited figures from various parties, most of whom were young and promising.
Clearly, they were all like Isabella, going in to accumulate merits and seniority to facilitate future promotions, etc.
He thought to himself, "If the Fourth Elder hadn't sent me an invitation, I probably would have missed this grand ceremony of order."
What exactly is Aragorn's plan? Was he originally trying to use this opportunity to prevent me from participating, or was he waiting for the other elders to unite...?
Adrian had regained his composure and smiled at Isabella: "Miss Bella, don't be afraid once we enter the world. I will definitely protect you."
Isabella looked at Zaun: "Last time, I went through a near-death experience with Brother Zaun, and he was able to protect me. I think this time will be no exception."
A strange light flashed in Adrian's eyes. No wonder Isabella was so attached to that kid. So that's what they were connected by. If I protect and save her in the secret realm this time, I'm sure she'll fall in love with me too.
"He's just a historian recording everything this time, so he probably can't take care of you. There are so many talented young people from all over the world here, and their adventure experience and strength should be much better than his."
After his father's guidance, he understood that Zu'an had probably only tricked him by relying on that mysterious ability. His father had just given him a magic weapon so he could be on guard in the future. Given the difference in strength between the two sides, he could easily crush him.
Other factions echoed this sentiment, noting that while the identity of the Zuan Divine Envoy was special, his aura and cultivation level were indeed too weak.
Besides, believers in memory don't interfere in worldly affairs and have little presence in daily life.
But if he could win the favor of the young lady of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, his future would be incredibly bright.
Isabella apologized to Zuan, saying, "Brother Zuan, please don't take it to heart."
Zuan shook his head slightly: "Why would I get angry with some dead people?"
Even something that a true god considers significant can cause countless deaths and injuries from the slightest aftershock.
"Huh?" Isabella was taken aback, clearly not understanding why she would say that.
Zuan couldn't explain, so he could only remind them, "This ceremony might encounter some twists and turns. After we arrive in that world, regardless of our identities, we agree to meet in the west of the Forbidden City."
Having learned from his previous experience, he knew that they would most likely be scattered to different places.
Last time, luck brought them together again, but he wasn't sure he'd be so lucky this time.
He could no longer bear the pain of being separated from Chu Chuyan.
Isabella nodded as if she understood, but Chu Chuyan smiled faintly at him, clearly sensing his affection.
The young men standing nearby gritted their teeth at the sight. What kind of magic did this guy possess? He brought his wife to propose marriage, and the noble Isabella not only wasn't angry, but they also got along so well.
The elders then opened a spacetime tunnel resembling a stargate and were the first to step inside.
Augustus and his son, accompanied by a number of elite Templar Knights, strode in with their heads held high.
Zuan then led Isabella and Chu Chuyan inside, knowing they would likely have to separate once inside, but this made them feel at ease.
Seeing this, other young people contributed another wave of anger.
After everyone entered the star gate, they all transformed into stars, each falling towards that special late Ming Dynasty world. They would become specific figures in that period of history, rebuilding the collapsed order.
Suddenly, a finger appeared in the starry sky, gently brushing past one of the stars and changing its original trajectory.
None of those attending the ceremony noticed this unexpected turn of events.
When Zuan woke up, he found himself sitting in a classical study. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he must be a historian or something similar.
I don't even know what my identity is in this world.
Just then, someone ran in from outside: "Reporting, sir, something terrible has happened! Lady Hong and her men have come to break into the prison!"
Zuan was startled, as a flood of memories rushed into his mind.
He finally understood his identity.
My expression turned extremely strange in an instant. How did I become Hong Chengchou?
It is important to know that Hong Chengchou was a notorious traitor in history. He was originally an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, holding military and political power in several provinces. He suppressed and quelled the massive peasant uprisings in the country. Then, he was sent by Emperor Chongzhen to the border to deal with the Manchus. He was defeated and captured, and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Even later, the Qing Dynasty was able to sweep across the country so quickly and conquer the Central Plains, all thanks to his strategies.
The crucial point is that this is a grand ceremony of order!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Universal Chamber of Commerce, the Knights Templar, and Isabella are all definitely part of the Ming Dynasty's camp, aiming to rebuild the Ming Dynasty's order and stabilize the world.
Does that mean I'm destined to be the villain?
He was labeled a traitor by the Ming Dynasty and later listed as a disloyal subject by the Qing Dynasty, suffering discrimination from both sides and pleasing neither.
But more importantly, shouldn't I be a wise and discerning historian who records everything? How did I end up with such a significant role?
