Chapter 2383: A Secret
“That was just an experiment I performed,” the Time Scribe replied. “At the time, I just wanted to gently prod the destiny of an insignificant individual, in order to see how much it would really affect the progress of history. Now that I already have a conclusion from that, similar things will not happen in the future. Your respected self needs not worry.”
Zu An frowned. He just felt that the Time Scribe's words weren’t too reliable.
The Time Scribe continued, “Actually, a being like me would normally not be sensed by other people, and they wouldn’t even notice us even if we used our skills. Only someone as talented as your respected self was able to sense me.”
Zu An said with a sneer, “You can stop flattering me now. Just a moment ago, you were standing with the Monster Lord, but now you’re trying to get on my side. Not even ghosts would believe it if you said you have no schemes at all.”
The Time Scribe bowed. “So that was what your respected self was bothered by. Actually, the only reason I have appeared here is only because we Time Scribes sometimes need to do so for our occupation. Countless things happen across the different realms every day, and there is no way we can record everything. We often only record important events. Just as an ordinary primitive society’s court recorder only writes down events related to the emperor, we also only record events of some important figures across the realms.”
“Important figures?” Zu An frowned. “Are you referring to the strong beings of the different realms?”
“Not necessarily,” the Time Scribe explained. “We Time Scribes have a kind of destiny-observing skill that allows us to view the destinies of creatures. Even if a certain person isn’t strong yet, they can be destined to become strong. Such beings also form immense karma and bring about countless events.
“The Monster Lord was the ruler of the Monster World and also one of the most powerful individuals, so his destiny's energy was naturally exceptional as well. That is why I appeared near him.” He looked above Zu An and continue, “But your respected self’s destiny is exceptionally elegant, far above that of the previous Monster Lord! That is why I want nothing more than to be with you; after all, staying at your side will bring me so many things to record. I will end up becoming the hottest thing in my circles!”
Zu An was a bit stunned when he saw how excited the Scribe was.
