She froze as soon as she heard those two names.
That sounds familiar.
She blinked and looked down at herself: "This outfit is so weird."
She didn't name herself, but she tirelessly created many men and women and gave them names.
Some of them were taller than her, and some were shorter, but without exception, they were all very handsome and beautiful.
She didn't give herself a name; the little figures she created called her the Goddess.
They originally called her Mother Goddess, but she disliked the name and told them to just call her Goddess.
Then she built a fairy palace and lived with these people.
As time went by, other life forms appeared in the universe, and various civilizations evolved. Some restless sages went to those places.
Gradually, because of them, people in those places also embarked on the path of cultivation, and human civilization, mythical beasts, and plants gradually flourished.
In this universe that was originally devoid of life, life gradually came into being, and she never felt bored living there.
Occasionally, he would go to the human world with Mie Zang, Xuan Sheng, and the others.
She felt happy at those times.
She is pure of heart and possesses the greatest skills; there is no one in the entire world who can rival her.
She was not warlike, nor did she want these vulnerable lives to disappear.
Xuan Sheng and the other three seemed to understand her thoughts, so for a period of time, they often went to the lower realm with others.
Thus, institutions gradually developed between humans and other races.
Then they also found incense offerings in these places and gained almost endless power of faith.
All seventy-two saints were offered incense, but she was not, because she didn't need it.
She even wondered why they needed the power of incense to enhance their strength.
The Immortal Lord floated to the Immortal Palace he built, which had seventy-two smaller palaces where they lived.
The highest palace was where she lived, and she liked to hold banquets there, inviting everyone to attend.
The saints all treated her very well. She didn't treat them like her own children, but more like friends. She thought that's how her life would continue, until...
When Hua Rong opened her eyes again, she saw Xuan Sheng.
He smiled at her: "Goddess, how about a next round?"
She looked down and found that they were still in the void, with the primordial energy still floating not far away.
In front of her was a plate of food that looked very familiar to her, a dish called "Seventh Sister-in-law".
This was the chessboard she had dreamed about when she was in the Little Carp's world.
Looking down, one sees the rise and fall of countless worlds.
This scene looks familiar.
However, the man she saw at that time was clearly not Xuan Sheng.
Who did I like to play chess with before?
Hearing her words, Xuan Sheng smiled wryly, "It seems that the goddess does remember something after all."
She had always been close to Mie Zang and Zang Sheng, and she never expected that even so, she would still remember them.
Hua Rong had no idea what Xuan Sheng was thinking, and asked again, "With whom?"
"The goddess used to love playing chess with Zang Sheng. However, Zang Sheng also disappeared while searching for the goddess."
Hua Rong remained silent for a while, then eased the atmosphere by saying, "Zang Sheng has three thousand treasures of knowledge, and his chess skills are even more superb. It seems that my chess skills are quite good, since I can play against him."
Xuan Sheng's expression was somewhat complicated upon hearing this. "No, the goddess's chess skills are not terrible, but they are certainly not good either. At least she can't beat me."
Hua Rong fell silent. Suddenly, Xuan Sheng's expression changed. "I sense the aura of Annihilation." As soon as he finished speaking, a monk appeared beside the chessboard.
Hua Rong looked up at the chessboard, then lowered her gaze back to the board, picked up a white piece, and placed it. "Why are you here too?"
Mie Zang said, "You came quickly. I thought I would be faster." As he said this, a clear look of joy appeared on his face, though he didn't show it.
He glanced at Xuan Sheng again, "Over the years, you've only gotten weaker. I told you not to stay in the same place, don't you know that every second you spend is wasting your vital energy?"
"What's going on?" Hua Rong heard Mie Zang's words and realized that there was something else she didn't know.
She recalled how Xuan Sheng seemed like a soul, as if he could disappear at any moment, and realized that perhaps staying in the same place wasn't without its price.
Perhaps the price he paid was greater than that of those who were lost in time and space.
Mie Zang snorted coldly. Now that he had regained his memories, he was much cuter than before.
He sat cross-legged in the void, making the three of them form a triangle. "I absolutely won't tell. Let him tell you himself."
Hearing this, Xuan Sheng wasn't angry at all; he seemed very happy. "I didn't expect you to come too."
"It does take some effort to freeze time at this moment. After all, I still need to keep all the worlds running naturally so that they don't stay stuck in that moment forever. But I can still endure it. Besides, with the Mother Goddess here, I won't fall apart."
Hua Rong pursed her lips. "I haven't told you yet that I've regained my memories, so you can't fool me. You won't disappear, just like everyone else, but you will go back there. Even if I recreate you, you won't be the same person you were before."
Mie Zang realized that Hua Rong might be angry, and seeing that Xuan Sheng was silent, he quickly said, "Didn't the goddess tell you that I met her in the cycle of reincarnation long ago?"
Xuan Sheng's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes dimmed somewhat. "So that's how it is. The goddess must have mentioned it, but I forgot."
Hua Rong sneered from the side: "Why should I tell Xuan Sheng about your affairs? I haven't settled accounts with you for what happened before."
