Chapter 2630: Conversing With a Deity
A mini explosion seemed to happen in Zu An’s mindd, warning him about the danger he was in. He felt as if he could disintegrate at the other party’s mere thought. He had never felt so shaken before, even when he was standing against a Celestial Emperor. Never had he felt so overpowered that he couldn’t even summon the willpower to retaliate.
This entity was even stronger than the mysterious being Qiu Honglei had summoned through the Dance Offering to the Universe. Judging from the other party’s strength and tone, they must be the Deity of Chaos and Enigma, Mi Li.
He finally understood why so many people had warned him not to carelessly mention a deity’s name. He hadn’t expected that a mere joke he cracked would catch the other party’s attention.
He quickly snapped out of his daze and replied, “I just heard what the Mirror Scribe said, and I have to say that I strongly disagree with his view of chaos and enigma. The world is born amid chaos and enigma, and that is bound to be its ultimate state as well. There is no need for events to be recorded so clearly. An overly defined history will only make everything boring. Only vague information shrouded in mystery can bring endless entertaining possibilities.”
His brain was furiously churning to rake up all of the knowledge he had accrued over his several lifetimes to bootlick the other party. He knew that he only had one shot, and if he failed to secure enough goodwill, destruction would be his plight.
“You seem to believe that I am the Deity of Chaos and Enigma, Mi Li?” The other party’s ethereal voice was tinged with mischief. It sounded feminine, but Zu An didn’t know if it would be right to gender stereotype a deity. She didn’t speak in the Cultivation World’s tongue, but Zu An could still comprehend her, as her voice seemed to directly reach his soul.
Her words left Zu An with goosebumps. Hold on, did I bootlick the wrong person?
If the other party was the Deity of Memories, Meng, his earlier words would have been incredibly disrespectful. The entire Cultivation World could be destroyed because of what he'd just said!
“Your heartbeat and your profuse sweat show that you’re very nervous, but why don’t you try explaining yourself? Is Mi Li the only one worth fawning over?” the voice spoke coldly.
“My mortal wits are nothing in the face of a true deity. I’m sure that, with your divine splendor, you can sense the utmost respect I have for you,” Zu An respectfully replied.
