Chapter 2617: Predetermined Fate
“Wait!” Unsurprisingly, Houtu quickly called for him. “You would be helping yourself by helping me too.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zu An asked.
“Too much time has passed since that era, not to mention the Mermaid Queen is imprisoned in the Frost Palace. I couldn’t help you right now even if I wanted to,” Houtu patiently explained.
“What about Jiang Luofu? You were the one who sent her into the past. Don’t tell me you can’t do anything about that either.” Zu An suppressed his anger as he negotiated.
“Jiang Luofu’s strong emotions caught the attention of an exalted entity. That’s her fate, as well as her fortuitous encounter. You don’t need to worry about her.” Houtu’s voice quivered when she mentioned the words ‘exalted entity’.
Zu An recalled hearing similar words from Zhuanxu. Looks like she isn’t in any danger for now. Still, he asked, “Who is that entity?”
“You should already be aware that secrets are dangerous. You aren’t strong enough yet. Learning about that entity right now will only result in your destruction.”
Zu An fell silent. He knew about that rule, and he wasn’t a reckless brute either, so he didn’t continue harping on this matter. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “Is that entity stronger than you and the Celestial Emperors?”
Houtu nodded. “His strength not only surpasses ours, but Saints too. This is our first time learning about beings stronger than Saints.”
Zu An was speechless. Sainthood was usually the peak for most myths and NovelFires. He hadn’t expected there to be an even higher level than that.
