"The Historian of Time?" Zuan was taken aback; he had never heard of such a thing. "What is that?"
“The historians of time, like cultivators, are a special profession, or perhaps they are believers in a certain being,” Mi Li explained.
"What exists?" Zuan asked curiously.
Mi Li shook her head slightly: "It is not advisable to speak of it. With your current cultivation level, it is best not to hear of his name."
Zu An rolled his eyes. He was used to it. Mi Li was always such a riddle-teller. However, he also knew that the names of some particularly powerful beings in this world could not be mentioned casually. Once he was sensed by them and attracted their attention, he would most likely be reduced to ashes with his current strength.
He had some doubts about this, after all, he was already quite strong now, but the being that was attracted by the Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Dance last time, and the matter of the Fengdu Emperor later, both proved this statement.
Seemingly sensing his dissatisfaction, Mi Li hesitated for a moment before explaining, "For example, that so-called Doomsday Beast that brought destruction to this demon world is actually a follower of another powerful being, and both beings are roughly as powerful as each other."
Zuan's expression immediately turned solemn. The demon world was incredibly powerful; a few demons sent out at random almost caused the cultivation world to fall. As a result, their own world had been repeatedly defeated by this doomsday beast for thousands of years, and the civilization of the entire world was almost completely destroyed. Now, only this one remaining underground city remained.
It turns out that this terrifying doomsday beast was just a subordinate and follower of some being?
How terrifying would that being exist?
The being worshipped by the historian of time also possessed similar strength. Are there really so many outrageously powerful beings in this world?
Zuan sighed, "I suddenly feel that being a local tyrant in the cultivation world is not so bad, as I don't have to deal with these terrifying beings."
“There’s no way to escape it,” Mi Li glanced at Zaun with a complicated expression. “The being that this doomsday beast worships is your enemy, and one day he will find you.”
Zuan: "???"
He was just saying it casually, never expecting that Mi Li would reveal such a huge scandal.
Everyone else was dumbfounded: "What have I done to deserve being regarded as an enemy by such a being?"
That doomsday beast under his command... no, there are many beings stronger than him in the demon world that the doomsday beast easily destroyed.
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity, as if an elephant were treating an ant as its greatest enemy.
"You don't need to worry too much. It's because you're too weak right now that the being won't notice you for a while." Seeing his expression of utter despair, Mi Li couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Your attempt at comfort is worse than no comfort at all," Zu'an said, feeling quite annoyed.
"Didn't you keep asking about this and complaining that I didn't tell you many things? Now that I've told you, you're reacting like this?" Mi Li rolled her eyes and sneered repeatedly.
Zuan: "..."
He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "It turns out I didn't understand my master's good intentions before. I was wrong."
The demon envoys standing nearby all turned their heads, wondering why this guy was making all sorts of strange expressions at thin air.
No wonder, he was suspected of murdering Steward Pi and had just been nearly exterminated by the master. It's no wonder he was a bit crazy from the fright.
Zuan knew they couldn't see Mi Li, and too lazy to explain, he continued to ask Mi Li, "Empress, that being is too far removed from me. Let's talk about the recent matter of the historian of time first."
A hint of admiration flashed in Mi Li's eyes. He was shocked to hear such bad news, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and was not affected. The trials of these years had indeed given him the heart of a strongman.
“The so-called historians of time are those who record the history of time,” Mi Li replied.
"History of Time?" Zu An vaguely recognized the word; he had seen it on the internet in his previous life.
“The Book of Time is not a real book. Some say it has the appearance of a book, but it is omnipresent in all the heavens and the myriad worlds,” Mi Li explained.
A look of confusion flashed across Zuan's eyes. What kind of book could be omnipresent in all the heavens and myriad worlds?
Doesn't that mean we are surrounded by historical records now?
He looked left and right, but where could he see any books?
Not to mention now, even when he was in the cultivation world before, when he held the power of the world, he could not sense the existence of any book.
"As the name suggests, this book records the various histories of the myriad worlds. Once it is successfully written, everyone except a very few will regard those events as true history," Mi Li replied.
Zuan's heart skipped a beat: "Isn't this a great prophetic technique?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Mi Li's eyes: "How can this compare to the Great Prophecy? In the end, the history books of time record some false history. Once they are exposed, their previous records will be proven false, and then this record will disappear from all the heavens and myriad worlds. Everyone will return to their original memories, just like what you did this time."
Zuan fell into thought: "From what you've said, it seems that the history books of this era are all recording wrong history."
“That’s right. The history books are created by people who altered the true history to achieve their own goals, making the beings of all the heavens and worlds believe that the false history is the real one,” Mi Li replied.
"These historians of time are truly despicable. If things continue like this, won't they easily become public enemies of the entire universe and be eliminated?" Zu'an thought of his recent experience and suddenly felt a surge of anger.
If it weren't for the stroke of luck and the miraculous tooth that could break through all laws, I probably wouldn't even know how I died this time.
“The myriad realms do indeed despise the historians of time, but the beings behind those guys are incredibly powerful. In addition, the whereabouts of each historian of time are elusive, and their actions are impossible to guard against. Very few people in the world are aware of their existence. Furthermore, the few who do know of their existence understand how cunning these guys are, and they really don't want to provoke them unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, who knows how they will be portrayed in the annals of time? Nobody wants to be constantly on their mind.” Mi Li frowned slightly, clearly feeling a headache at the thought of those historians of time.
