332: secret

Before the word "milk" could even be spoken, Chen Tianming fell silent once again.

Just then, the hospital room door was opened, and two female nurses wearing antique-style qipao uniforms walked in.

A familiar figure followed closely behind them.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Tianming cried out.

At this moment, another flood of memories rushed into his mind. Finally, the Chen Tianming lying in the hospital bed, who had transformed into Salia, realized that he was not Chen Tianming at all...

And outside the door, Chen Tianming's true self walked in.

"Hello, are you okay? My clone?"

On the bed, Salia looked solemn.

"What's going on... why... why do I have your memories, and you have mine?"

Chen Tianming came to the bedside, sat down gently, and grasped Salia's small hand in front of him.

"Do you remember that before we lost consciousness, a black light descended from the sky? That light seemed to have the power of transference. When I reached out to pull you, a part of our consciousnesses must have been swapped."

Chen Tianming's words left Salia feeling incredibly astonished.

"Are you kidding me! We swapped?"

Chen Tianming shook his head seriously.

"No, I suspect that the swap might have required a process, and since we broke free from the black light before that process could finish, we didn't swap completely—it's more like we merged..."

Salia felt a bit lost.

She asked almost immediately and urgently.

"If we've merged, doesn't that mean that from now on, you are me and I am you?"

Chen Tianming seemed a bit evasive.

He looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, putting on a show of playing dumb.

Under Salia's repeated urging and questioning, Chen Tianming finally spoke.

"You're very close, but in reality, we are in a subordinate relationship, and... it just so happens that you are my subordinate!"

Salia's pupils slowly dilated, her eyes gradually filled with panic, and her exquisite, beautiful face slowly twisted in terror.

"What kind of joke are you playing on me!"

At this moment, Chen Tianming opened his palm.

His incredibly vast Qi Sea and Snow Mountain were displayed before Salia's eyes.

Seeing the nine terrifying phantoms, Salia couldn't help but gasp.

"How can you be so powerful! No wonder you could fight me to a draw without ascending!"

Subsequently, above the Snow Mountain, the nine incredibly majestic and huge phantoms gradually began to change.

The first phantom condensed into stars, transforming into a star Qilin that looked down upon the world.

The second soon took on a deep black-purple color, with the Silver Surfer looking proudly over the world.

Then the third huge phantom, incredibly burly, was the Ultra lifeform formed from the convergence of nebulae, gazing into the distance.

Finally, the gazes of Chen Tianming and Salia fell upon the fourth phantom.

A woman standing on a mountain peak, stepping on a boulder, holding a sword and shield, wearing very sexy battle armor, with a figure as hot as a devil's and a face as beautiful as an angel's.

But Salia was just completely bewildered.

She never dreamed that she would be one of the nine phantoms in Chen Tianming's hands.

Salia was very angry and jumped up at once.

"You! You are clearly insulting me!"

Chen Tianming hurriedly waved his hand to explain.

"That's not it! I don't know what's going on either, but I can tell you clearly that being refined into a phantom in my primordial spirit certainly won't be subject to any constraints!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the huge star Qilin appeared in the hospital courtyard.

In the antique-style courtyard, doctors, nurses, and many patients began to scream loudly.

The Qilin was awakened from its dream, staring impatiently at these mortals.

"Roar!!! Chen Tianming, why did you bring me out? Do you want to fight!"

Chen Tianming couldn't help but roll his eyes and sigh.

He couldn't figure out what kind of monsters and freaks he had collected, and they didn't seem very bright either.

Chen Tianming spoke up.

"I don't want to fight you; I just want to explain to my new wife what symbiosis means!"

The Qilin aimed its golden pupils at the hospital window, only then seeing the beautiful woman lying on the bed, and couldn't help but frown.

"This woman... carries a hint of the aura of the Celestial Realm, but it has become very weak!"

Chen Tianming was just about to explain, but the Qilin's large eyeballs suddenly couldn't help but roll left and right, and it immediately said loudly.

"Wait, no, no! This woman is your wife? She came from the Celestial Realm, and you used the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal world to erode her divinity, so she restored her original appearance?"

Chen Tianming nodded.

"That's the process, but there's a small problem: what do you mean by 'restored her original appearance'?"

The Qilin sighed, and at this moment, Wanyue walked in from outside.

"Like me, she is also a Guide!"

This was the first time Chen Tianming heard Wanyue open up about her own experiences.

It could be said that Wanyue was also an old antique who knew many secrets, but she had always been unwilling to tell Chen Tianming the truth. Taking this opportunity, Chen Tianming hurriedly asked.

"Can you be more specific? What exactly is a Guide?"

Wanyue sat by the door.

"We are responsible for selecting stars, guiding the Star Gods to sow seeds, and waiting for the time to be ripe, when a new Star God will be born from the embryo... To put it plainly, we are like the slaves, spies, and porters of the Star Gods. Do you understand now?"

Chen Tianming managed to barely understand Wanyue's words. Whether it was Wanyue or Salia, neither of them were so-called Celestial Gods.

They were practitioners of the Celestial Gods' will, endowed with the qualifications of gods.

And Wanyue had also told Chen Tianming very early on that the existence of these endowed qualifications was conditional and could be revoked at any time.

The way to revoke them was to break the Celestial Gods' confinement of the Guides' seven emotions and six desires.

Chen Tianming, by having Salia touch upon the true feelings of the human world, had pulled this woman, whose seven emotions and six desires had been taken away by the Celestial Gods, back.

The painful memories were retrieved along with it.

However, it just so happened that the black beam of light descended from the sky, and Chen Tianming's memories were swapped with Salia's. Fortunately, this meant the powerful goddess was not overwhelmed by the tragic memories of her youth.

At this moment, Salia fell silent.

Although she had Chen Tianming as a buffer, the memories of the past were incredibly savage and brutal, forming a stark contrast with Chen Tianming's gentle and refined villainous memories.

Just when Chen Tianming thought that Salia had fallen silent because she couldn't bear the huge contrast,

suddenly, Salia raised her head, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cunning light.

The restoration of her humanity gave Salia more expressions on her face, so Chen Tianming could see it clearly.

He heard her say,

"Chen Tianming? If you don't help me, I'll tell everyone your secret!"

Chen Tianming was immediately dumbfounded and asked subconsciously.

"Secret... what secret?"
