"You don't know?"
An Kai rose to his feet, his brows furrowing slightly.
Through the [Contract], he learned that Dong Mu genuinely knew nothing about any of this.
There was no memory of any encounter with the [Divine Court God of War] in his mind.
There was only a memory concerning the [Divine Court God of War]'s identity.
It was as though someone had stuffed that information into his head out of thin air.
And it wasn't just Dong Mu.
An Kai continued using the [Contract] to probe Taboo's and Fallen's memories.
He discovered severe gaps in their memories.
Their memories from before they appeared in the Divine Realm were as hazy as a bank of fog.
Only a few scattered fragments remained.
Those scattered fragments seemed to fill in their memories from before their arrival in the Divine Realm.
They had become part of their personal histories.
Yet An Kai spotted a problem.
The memories of these people, including Dong Mu...
...all shared something in common.
Those memories seemed not to belong to them at all.
They would never recall them on their own.
Only under specific circumstances would they remember.
But getting them to recall anything more was impossible.
It was as though someone had implanted the same kind of unfamiliar memories in all of them, mechanically scripting their past lives.
After learning all this...
An Kai fell into thought.
He couldn't shake the feeling that, ever since he encountered the [Divine Court Fourth Layer], it wasn't only his strength that had changed.
This world...
...was changing too...
He would never have imagined it.
The leaders of the powers that once dominated the Divine Realm's Five Great Continents had all had unfamiliar memories implanted in their minds.
Someone capable of doing that...
Perhaps...
An Kai raised his head
