Chapter 1481 - Heavenly Deity Monument
Liu Wuxie froze on the spot, shock holding him there. He had converted many people into his devotees over the years, yet he couldn't recall ever converting this burly man.
"Who are you? Where are we? And why are you calling me master?" Liu Wuxie asked, firing off three critical questions as his thoughts spun at top speed.
"Master, do you really not remember who I am?" the burly man asked as he rose to his feet, studying the familiar face before him with a trace of confusion.
"I don't remember," Liu Wuxie replied, shaking his head. Whether in his first life or his second, he held no memory of the man standing before him.
"It's normal that you don't remember me. You have reincarnated, and you will naturally remember me when your memory returns.
"I'm only a wisp of a remnant soul, and my time is limited. Ask whatever question you have, Master," the burly man said as his figure dimmed even further. His presence so far was only being sustained by sheer willpower.
"Who am I, and why do you call me 'Master'?" Liu Wuxie asked. Since the burly man refused to deny that identity, Liu Wuxie chose to press on himself.
"I cannot tell you that. The time isn't right, and there will be changes in the heavenly dao if I reveal it. You will also face tremendous danger as a result," the burly man replied, shaking his head.
He didn't refuse out of unwillingness, but because he simply couldn't answer.
If he were to answer, the heavenly dao would shift, and the future would become uncertain. If someone knew their future in advance, it would be the same as rewriting the heavenly dao's rules; for example, if a person knew he would become unimaginably wealthy, would he still work as hard as he did now?
Liu Wuxie nodded, grasping what the burly man meant. Moments ago, the Heavenly Dao Book had also warned him not to tamper with the heavenly dao's rules, as no one could resist the heavenly dao unless they could rule over it.
"Where are we?" Liu Wuxie asked his second question, noticing the burly man's figure fade with every breath.
