"You know my name," Xu Zimo replied.
"I'm asking about your identity," Xia Wanqing said.
"Even if I told you my identity, you wouldn't know it," Xu Zimo replied.
"In any case, I bear you no ill will."
"You were never actually suffering from amnesia, were you?" Xia Wanqing asked.
"This world is unfamiliar to me. Calling it amnesia wouldn't be wrong," Xu Zimo replied.
"Besides, when we first met, we were strangers.
Wasn't it only natural to be wary?"
"I just don't like being lied to, especially by you," Xia Wanqing said with some disappointment.
"Let's take a look inside the palace first. Perhaps there'll be clues about your ancestor, the Heavenly Martial Great Emperor," Xu Zimo said.
He took Xia Wanqing's hand and led her onward until they finally stopped before the palace entrance.
With a forceful push of his right hand, there came a boom, and the Great Gate let out a heavy sound.
The two doors slowly opened.
The splendor and magnificence of this palace surpassed all imagination. Gold was merely a vulgar thing here.
Void Stone, Yellow Bright Stone, Secret Heaven Stone, Ancient Stone—there was no lack of any of them.
This palace seemed to have been piled together from countless ancient, precious materials.
A red carpet stretched beneath their feet, while Sun Crystal Stones on both sides lit up the surroundings.
"Has your Four Directions Region ever produced any great figures?" Xu Zimo asked.
"What kind of great figures?" Xia Wanqing asked in confusion.
"Great Emperors don't count. Great Sages, for example," Xu Zimo replied.
"Apparently not. As far as I remember, let alone the Four Directions Region, even the entire Mortal Domain has only ever produced one Great Sage.
Not to mention a second," Xia Wanqing said, shaking her head.
"Which Great Sage?"
