Chapter 1394: Alteration

Xi He stared at him in shock. These were her most private secrets, known to no one else in the world.

Could he really be my future lover?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she shuddered. “Impossible! I’ll be the Heavenly Emperor’s wife! How could I possibly have any entanglement with you? Are you implying I’ll cheat on you?”

Zu An was also at a loss, unsure how to explain this situation.

“It was a natural development of feelings, not as sordid as you think.”

“Heh, then tell me how we met, and how we got together?” Xi He, originally the Sun Goddess, was always bringing warmth to others, never knowing the cold. But now, she felt a chill in her heart.

“I can’t tell you the specifics; it would affect the development of some future events.” Zu An shook his head. Besides, there was another reason they met: the Ten Suns in the Sky incident. That was a rather somber event, and Xi He was still a young girl at heart; there was no need to make her as heartbroken as she would be in the future.

Xi He sneered, “Since you can’t give a convincing explanation, aren’t you lying to me?”

“Didn’t I just provide evidence?” Zu An was also at a loss, unsure how to prove it.

Xi He blushed, “Who knows if you spied on me while I was bathing, or found out through some other means!”

“Do you think anyone in this world could spied on you while you were bathing without being caught? Besides, those sensitive spots of yours can’t be discovered by simply peeping.” Zu An said irritably.

Xi He: “…”

Although what this guy said was vulgar, it did make sense, but it was still hard for her to accept that he was her lover.

Zu An thought for a moment, then revealed some of her little secrets, things she had voluntarily shared during their i*imate moments in the future. Hearing this, Xi He had no choice but to believe him.

“You really came from the future?” Xi He was somewhat dazed. Actually, she didn’t really want to marry Di Jun. Was it really because of this that her future self was with him?

Zu An hummed in agreement.

“I never thought someone could actually travel through time,” Xihe asked curiously. “Then what are you doing back here? Why were you crying at the Moon Palace just now?”

Zuan’s face flushed: “I wasn’t crying!”

“Alright, alright, you weren’t crying.” Xihe’s lips curled up slightly. This guy was so powerful, yet he had such a vulnerable side.

“I came back to find two friends, but unfortunately I couldn’t find them.” Zuan became sad again as he said this.

“Women?” Xihe looked at him sideways.

“Yes.”

“Heh, you said you would be my lover in the future, but this time you came back to find other women instead of me?” Xihe was a little annoyed. Was she really going to be with this guy in the future?

Xihe’s anger level increased by 233+233+233…

Zuan was a little embarrassed, but he didn’t hide anything from her: “In the future, we were both enemies and friends, not exactly lovers. Of course, it’s great to have met you now.”

Xihe: “…”

She naturally understood what he meant. Their relationship was more like a fleeting romance.

“Who exactly are you looking for? Is it related to the Guanghan Palace?” she asked sternly. “But no one has ever lived there.”

“She probably hasn’t come to this world yet.” Zu’an thought that the Mermaid Queen might still be in that sealed world’s timeline, or perhaps she hadn’t even been born yet.

“That person actually became the master of the Guanghan Palace,” Xihe said, somewhat shocked. “Countless powerful figures have tried to enter the Guanghan Palace over the years, but all have failed. The divine runes on it have even killed several powerful figures. Since then, no one has dared to covet it.”

Zu’an had also experienced the power of the Guanghan Palace’s divine runes: “Believe me, successfully entering the Guanghan Palace is definitely not a pleasant experience; it’s an eternal cage.”

Xihe’s expression shifted slightly. Although the other party’s words were vague, they revealed quite a bit. It seemed fortunate that she hadn’t thought about obtaining the Guanghan Palace back then.

“Isn’t there another woman? Where is she?”

Zu’an’s heart stirred. Although Gong Suyin was not present now, the Goddess of Wushan might be.

Yao Ji was the daughter of Emperor Yan, and her birth time might not be much later than Xihe’s. Perhaps she just hadn’t become the Goddess of Wushan yet.

“Her name is Yao Ji, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan. Do you know her?” Zu An looked at her expectantly.

Xi He frowned slightly: “Emperor Yan?”

“What’s wrong?” She sensed the hostility in her tone.

“Because he’s our enemy!” Xi He said coldly.

“Enemy?” Zu An was puzzled. “By all accounts, Emperor Yan should be the second Heavenly Emperor, an elder of Emperor Jun. Why would he be an enemy?”

“What elder?” Xi He spat. “Just some foreign evil gods, not orthodox!”

“Evil gods?” Zu An blinked, feeling that something was amiss.

Xihe clearly sensed something was off about his reaction, so she asked directly, “You’ve come from the future, what do you know about history?”

Zu’an thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t know much about the Heavenly Court world, but the first Heavenly Emperor should be the Green Emperor, who had two sons, Shennong and Xuanyuan. Later, Shennong inherited the throne, becoming the second Heavenly Emperor, known as the Flame Emperor; then Xuanyuan defeated Shennong and became the third Heavenly Emperor; the fourth Heavenly Emperor was the White Emperor, son of the Yellow Emperor; next, the White Emperor passed the throne to his nephew Zhuanxu, who became the fifth Heavenly Emperor, the Black Emperor.”

“Then Dijun succeeded as the next Heavenly Emperor.” Zu’an thought for a moment, “Who is the current Heavenly Emperor?”

“Nonsense! There is clearly only one Heavenly Emperor in the world, Dijun!” Xihe was somewhat annoyed. “Those so-called Yellow Emperors and Flame Emperors are just self-proclaimed titles of some barbarian tribes from other lands.”

Zu’an was shocked. Why didn’t this history match up? Could it be that he hadn’t come to the Heavenly Court world he remembered?

But the person before him was clearly Xihe, her appearance and demeanor exactly the same as the sun goddess in his memory.

Xihe, however, thought of another possibility, muttering to herself, “Could it be that we ultimately failed, and they altered history…”

Zu’an, being a historian of time, was shocked upon hearing this. This was indeed very possible, hiding the original truth and making the supreme Dijun an inheritor of their Heavenly Emperor system…

But that didn’t make sense. Later, Dijun created a world-destroying formation. If all of this history was false, how could Dijun explain it?

In an instant, countless speculations flooded his mind, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Since you and Dijun are husband and wife, where is he now? I want to go see him.”

He used to be no match for Dijun, but now he was no longer afraid of him.

“What husband and wife? We’re just engaged, not married yet,” Xihe said somewhat embarrassedly, “I can’t take you to find him because I ran away from my arranged marriage.”

Zuan: “???”
