Rumors

The Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace turned her gaze toward the Hundred Knowledge Scholar.

Hundred Knowledge Scholar: "???"

The Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace asked, "What did he mean by that?"

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar shook her head.

"Didn't he say it? The Central Continent is doomed!"

The Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace was speechless.

I can understand the literal meaning.

What I'm asking is, why would targeting Zhou Ziming mean doom!

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar had no idea how to answer.

Actually, she seemed to have a faint inkling.

But it wasn't very clear.

For example, the sales contract she signed with Zhou Ziming.

She didn't even know when it had been signed.

Could there be some hidden story behind all this?

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar felt it was better not to think about these things for now.

It was pointless.

"Um, may I leave now?"

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar asked.

The Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar turned and left.

After the Hundred Knowledge Scholar had gone, the Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace couldn't help but frown.

Because among the Twelve Towers and Nine Palaces, her Cold Moon Palace was one of those Nine Palaces.

Was Cold Moon Palace also targeting Zhou Ziming?

Was it those memory beads causing trouble?

They had all seen the memories within the memory beads and learned of Zhou Ziming's Opportunities, so they were all fighting over them!

After thinking it over, the Palace Mistress of Cold Moon Palace vanished instantly.

She returned to Cold Moon Palace; she needed to notify her subordinates in advance not to specifically target Zhou Ziming's Opportunities.

Whether others took them was their business, but Cold Moon Palace was not allowed to touch them... The Hundred Knowledge Scholar saw that those two entities she couldn't afford to offend were gone.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Taking a puff from her tobacco pipe and exhaling a cloud of mist, the Hundred Knowledge Scholar's eyes narrowed slightly.

In this state, she looked more and more like a fox.

However, the Hundred Knowledge Scholar was now extremely curious about what Brother Niu had said.

If everyone targets Zhou Ziming, then everyone is doomed.

Is it because Zhou Ziming is too powerful, or is there another reason?

After some thought, the Hundred Knowledge Scholar planned to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Subsequently, the Hundred Knowledge Scholar headed to a certain place.

Rowing a small boat, she slowly entered a mountain cave.

After entering the cave,

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar stopped the boat and went ashore.

Once she was ashore, the entire cave suddenly lit up.

By the light, a gate adorned with eerie stone carvings could be seen.

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar slowly drifted to the front of the gate.

Then, she lightly tapped the gate with her tobacco pipe.

*Creeak~*

The gate opened a crack.

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar slipped inside.

She then arrived directly at the corridor of a grand hall.

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar's jade-like feet walked along the passage.

With every step she took, the torches on both sides of the corridor lit up.

As she reached the end,

The entire hall became brightly lit!

At the end of the hall sat an old woman on a throne.

The old woman sat cross-legged upon that throne.

"It is truly a miracle that there is something in this world that even you, the Hundred Knowledge Scholar, do not know!"

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar took another puff of her pipe and smiled slightly: "There is basically nothing I don't know, but there are always some bits of Inside Information that even I cannot see. Therefore, I want to exchange some intelligence with you!"

The old woman chuckled.

"To be able to do business with you is an honor for this old woman!"

Immediately following that, a swarm of rats appeared, holding up a box as they ran to the Hundred Knowledge Scholar.

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar hooked it with one foot.

The box was kicked up into her hand.

Just as she was about to open it, she suddenly paused.

She looked up at the old woman.

"What do you want?"

The old woman smiled.

"In my current state, do you really not know what I want?"

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar smiled faintly.

She directly took out a small porcelain bottle and threw it to the old woman.

The old woman caught the bottle, opened it, and held it to her nose to sniff.

Immediately after, the old woman's face was filled with pure bliss.

Then, visible to the naked eye, the old woman's appearance began to revert to youth.

Soon, a face of extreme beauty appeared.

Not only that.

The old woman's voice changed as well.

It became more charming and more sinister.

*Whoosh~*

The beautiful woman suddenly stood up.

Only then was it revealed that the lower half of this woman's body was actually that of a snake.

The woman coiled around the Hundred Knowledge Scholar, her hands resting completely on the scholar's shoulders.

The woman couldn't help but flick her snake tongue, licking the Hundred Knowledge Scholar's cheek.

"Sister, you smell so good!"

The woman spoke with a tone of intoxication!

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar rolled her eyes.

"Truly, birds of a feather flock together—or in this case, snakes and rats!"

She ignored the woman and instead opened the box, carefully reading the intelligence inside.

The matters in the intelligence also concerned a story of an older brother and a younger brother.

There was also the matter of the World Reset.

The general meaning was that the one above was undergoing an Ascension.

But he was unable to achieve it.

Because for a world to ascend into a Main World of the Myriad Realms, it would face unimaginable enemies.

If those terrifying enemies could not be blocked, the entire world would be destroyed.

And all the preparations made by the one above would only serve as a gift for others.

Therefore, the one above chose a Person of Destiny.

The one above would devote all his efforts to nurturing this Person of Destiny, then have them help fend off the enemies who coveted this world.

Actually, the first time, it almost succeeded.

But just as the Heavenly Dao was about to undergo Fusion with the Person of Destiny, a variable occurred.

The Person of Destiny was backstabbed by his own woman.

Then, the entire world exploded!

Afterward, this world underwent nine resets.

But unfortunately, each of these nine resets was worse than the last.

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar frowned.

"Zhou Ziming is the Child of Destiny chosen by the Heavenly Dao. So, if Zhou Ziming fails again, will this World Reset once more?"

The Snake Woman shook her head.

"No, no, no. The Heavenly Dao has already used up all its reset foundations. This is the final time!"

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar frowned again.

"This is somewhat contradictory!"

The Snake Woman chuckled.

"So, this relates to the matter of the older and younger brothers. The younger brother disappeared, and the older brother came!"

As she spoke, the Snake Woman's finger tilted up the Hundred Knowledge Scholar's chin.

"The people behind this fundamentally miscalculated one thing: they thought the younger brother was trash, and even when the older brother appeared, they thought he was still that same trash!"

"But this makes it even more exciting, because the older brother really loves to reason with people!"

The Hundred Knowledge Scholar saw the crux of the problem.

The older brother had been sealed for nine lifetimes.

That meant the older brother had been feared since birth.

Now, the older brother has returned to his rightful place.

In other words...

From the moment the older brother appeared, it's hard to say who will be the natural disaster next!

The Snake Woman smiled.

"So, do you understand? If you pamper him and spoil him, he will help you. If you try to screw him over, then no one else needs to act—the older brother will take action personally!"

"And why do you think Zhou Ziming's harem follows him with such lowered intelligence? Those were originally the bonds the Heavenly Dao used to tie down Zhou Ziming, the motivation for him to help this world wholeheartedly!"

"Now it's interesting. The older brother has no attachments in his heart and doesn't feel much of a sense of belonging to this world. Tsk tsk, Sister, why don't you just run away with me?"
