"Hm?"
Gu Shaoshang's brow twitched, then twitched again. Meng Qi's thoughts stirred, and he seemed to understand something.
At the beginning of the epoch, he had imprinted his own traces. By the medieval era, the future had yet to be determined. One could imagine that something beyond expectations had happened in the future, causing him and Meng Qi to become entangled by karma.
Thinking this, he had no mind to say anything more. He gave Meng Qi a calm glance and strolled out of the tavern.
"You..."
Meng Qi's heart trembled slightly, and he could not help but feel a faint chill under that gaze.
He exchanged a look with the woman and hurried downstairs, only to see a flash of purple light vanish into the street.
"Who was that?"
He pondered inwardly, utterly confused.
Yet in the instant that thought flashed through his mind, his memories changed. The figure of that black-robed young man gradually faded from his mind until it disappeared completely.
Had he not possessed the Cause of All Fruits, he would likely have known nothing at all.
Even so, he only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have met someone. Their appearance and words had already been completely forgotten.
I've run into another ancient monster!
Little Meng wailed inwardly, only to discover, strangely enough, that he seemed accustomed to it already.
Well, when you have too many debts, one more hardly matters...
The void was pitch-black, devoid of all things. Even up, down, left, right, front, back, and the passage of time no longer existed, as though it were eternal nothingness.
No one knew how long passed before two divine lights suddenly lit up within that darkness, as though bursting forth from chaos and bringing faint ripples to this void.
"Phew!"
Gu Shaoshang straightened slightly.
