Chapter 1340: Coincidence or Not?

A rich, fragrant breeze wafted through the air as a woman dressed in a seductive and alluring manner approached. The large expanse of white skin revealed by her dress, and the rhythmic sway of her hips as she walked, truly captivated the eyes of the men present.

No introduction was needed; everyone recognized her as Lilith, the Fifth Elder of the Merchant Guild—indeed, she instantly evoked images of lovemaking.

She walked to Zu An’s side and gently straightened his clothes with her fingers. “Young man, you’re so handsome. No wonder you have so many girls’ hearts.”

Her voice was still as delicate as a young girl’s, and particularly sweet and coquettish.

Especially the light touch of her hand, which gave Zu An goosebumps all over.

Chu Chuyan, standing to the side, was quite displeased. Why was this woman so direct? Of course, she was speaking up for Zu An, so she couldn’t retaliate.

“Madam is also very beautiful,” Zu An, naturally accustomed to such situations, quickly replied.

“Call me ‘sister,’ I’m still single,” Lilith rolled her eyes at him, feigning annoyance.

Zuan: “…”

After all, according to the information provided by Isabella, this woman had countless lovers, making it hard to associate her with the word “single.

” At this moment, Lilith looked at the Second Elder beside her, her eyes almost brimming with tears: “Second Brother, you can’t use your standards to judge others. After all, your views on love are almost saintly; how many others can achieve that? The young couple is in love, so let’s not be the bad guys.”

“Hmph!” Hermes turned his head away, clearly finding his fifth sister equally repulsive to the devoted man.

The fat Fourth Elder laughed and leaned over: “Fifth Sister, what do you think about letting this young man participate in the Order Ceremony?”

Seeing his lecherous look, Lilith moved aside in disgust. Although she had countless lovers, she preferred either handsome men or burly men; this kind of fat pig wasn’t her type: “I naturally have no objection to such a handsome young man.”

“In that case, let’s vote.” As the First Elder, Oberon, spoke, a red X appeared in mid-air.

This was their guild’s custom: when faced with a difficult decision, all seven members would vote. He was the first to vote against it.

Immediately afterward, a second red cross appeared in the sky; the Second Elder, Hermes, had also voted against it.

The Third Elder, Aragorn, hesitated for a moment, then, seeing his daughter’s pleading gaze, cast his vote in favor.

The Fourth Elder, a harmless smile spreading across his fat face, cast his vote in favor as a green checkmark appeared in the sky.

The Fifth Elder winked at Zaun and naturally also cast his vote in favor.

The Sixth Elder, Naraku, a gloomy and deathly man whose presence had been barely noticed before, voted against it.

Three against three, leaving only the Seventh Elder, Victor.

Isabella suddenly became extremely nervous. She knew he was always impartial and incorruptible, judging matters only according to his own preconceived standards, and never considering anyone else’s feelings.

However, to her surprise, he directly chose to vote in favor.

Seeing this, Oberon’s expression changed. Although he could use his power as the Grand Elder to force a veto, this would easily cause a split among the Seven Elders. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t act unilaterally.

“Since more people agree with his participation in the Great Hall, then proceed according to the vote.” The Grand Elder’s expression was calm, and his tone was no longer as harsh as before.

Isabella’s eyes curved into crescents. This kind of Order Ceremony was just a formality, a good opportunity to gain prestige. Brother Zu could benefit as long as he participated, and it would also be more…

Zuan, however, wasn’t so relaxed. He had received the memories of the God of Memory and wondered if the major event here was this Order Ceremony. If even a True God attached so much importance to it, then this Order Ceremony was probably somewhat unusual.

Apart from Aragorn, he had basically never met the other six elders, yet so many people had defied the Grand Elder to support him.

The internal workings of the Universal Merchant Guild were truly turbulent.

Seeing that he too could enter the Order Ceremony, Adrian’s face turned extremely ugly. At this moment, he heard his father’s voice: “You’ve grown up too smoothly. It’s good to experience some setbacks.”

A trace of shame flashed across Adrian’s face: “Father’s words are wise.”

“Don’t take it to heart now. Once you enter the Order Ceremony, there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge.”

Adrian was somewhat taken aback. You just told me not to take it to heart.

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Augustus said expressionlessly: “Where you fall, you get up. When the time comes, you will personally bring such a lawless fellow under the light of order. Only then can your soul be perfected.”

Adrian hesitated: “But the other party is the Memorial God…”

“In the Order Ceremony, the light of order will cover everything, and even the true gods of other paths cannot see it.”

Adrian was overjoyed: “Yes! Let the light of order cover all the heavens and myriad worlds!”

At this moment, Zuan had already been led by Isabella to Aragorn.

“Greetings, Uncle.” Zuan bowed. Chu Chuyan smiled and nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy.

“You won’t blame me for arranging for you to stay in the separate courtyard earlier, will you?” Aragorn chuckled.

“Uncle had his reasons for doing so,” Zaun replied, unconcerned. Perhaps the other party wanted to gauge the other elders’ opinions before acting accordingly, or perhaps he had genuinely changed his mind and favored Adrian—but it didn’t matter anymore.

As long as he was certain of Isabella’s attitude, that was enough.

“You’re quite mature and composed, young man. Isabella is just too naive. With you taking care of her from now on, I feel much more at ease.”

“Daddy~” Isabella blushed and pouted.

Aragorn looked at his daughter with affection, then said seriously to Zuan, “You need to be prepared. You’ll be participating in the Order Ceremony soon. Miss Chu, come along too.”

Zuan was taken aback: “What exactly is this Order Ceremony, and how do I participate?”

Aragorn explained, “To allow the light of order to shine upon all the worlds, every century we choose a world where order has collapsed to join, repairing and rebuilding the broken order, as a tribute to the great God of Order.”

“This year’s Order Ceremony happens to be every ten centuries, so it’s on a larger scale. Several elders will personally participate, and some important figures from all the worlds have been invited.”

Zuan hurriedly asked, “Is there any danger in entering that world in my true form?”

“It is indeed about entering in your true form, replacing some of the original characters in that world, similar to your last trial of death inheritance. As the Memory God, you’re responsible for recording the entire process; I can’t imagine any danger.”

Aragorn then smiled: “Besides, several elders of our merchant guild are here. Unless the true god himself arrives, any danger can be resolved.”

Zuan thought to himself, “You’re just making empty promises. “

“By the way, you guys should familiarize yourselves with this world first. Tomorrow morning, everyone participating in the ceremony will enter it. It’s a classic story about the late feudal dynasty, facing foreign invasion and internal peasant uprisings.” Aragorn handed him something that looked like a tablet, which played an introduction to the world.

Zaun glanced at it, his expression immediately becoming extremely strange. Isn’t this the chaotic period at the end of the Ming Dynasty…?

Why is it such a coincidence that it happens to be a world I’m familiar with?
