Chapter 156: Purpose

Chapter 156: Purpose

After Zhu Lin focused her attention on him, Xiu Wu stared at her and asked, "Who is the man you are talking about?"

Zhu Lin had no intention of hiding anything from Xiu Wu and she also could not lie, so she answered truthfully: "The person he is talking about is the Devil God. The only ancient god in the Six Realms. He is also a God with whom I have a complicated relationship."

After hearing her answer, Xiu Wu fell into deep thought. After a long time, he summoned the mysterious voice in his head.

[Hey, you said you are the fragment of the Devil God’s consciousness. Why do you appear in my mind?]

The next second, the mysterious voice came and said angrily: [Don’t ask me about such obvious things anymore. You should kick that stinking dragon away quickly. Otherwise, when he kidnaps Lin’er, I will kill you!]

Realizing that the mysterious voice really disliked Lu Qiu, Xiu Wu raised his eyes and looked at Lu Qiu thoughtfully. If Zhu Lin and Lu Qiu were telling the truth, then what the mysterious voice said was probably not a lie.

Xiu Wu lowered his eyes, frowned and thought: ’Then am I really that Devil God? Does this even make sense? But if zombies and abilities are real, then so can reincarnation and gods.’

Seeing that Xiu Wu didn’t speak after hearing her answer, Zhu Lin waited patiently for him to process the information. After a while, Xiu Wu looked at her and said, "You haven’t had lunch yet. You wait here while I prepare the meal."

After saying that, Xiu Wu stood up and left. Zhu Lin frowned slightly as she watched him walk towards the kitchen. This was the first time she saw him walking away from her with such an expression.

While Xiu Wu was busy cooking in the kitchen, Zhu Lin was sitting in the living room, frowning slightly. Lu Qiu, who was sitting on another sofa, looked at her and asked, "True God Zhu Lin, why are you together with the Devil God in this world?"

Zhu Lin came out from her deep thoughts, raised her eyes to look at Lu Qiu, and said, "We met by coincidence. Besides, he is not really the Devil God right now. High God Lu Qiu, you have to know that after the God is reincarnated, he will lose his memory and be reborn as a mortal. You should also be aware of the rule that Gods are not allowed to reveal the true identity of the reincarnated God."

Lu Qiu knew these rules, and he also knew that he had violated them. Since he knew that he was wrong, Lu Qiu thought for a while and asked, "Since that person already knows that he is the Devil God, do you want me to erase his memory about his true identity as the Devil God?"

Hearing what he said, Zhu Lin felt that she was really lucky that she didn’t marry this Dragon God. Otherwise, she would have a headache every day because of him.

Zhu Lin rubbed her brows, closed her eyes, and said, "No. You shouldn’t do that because we also have taboos that prohibit us from changing the memory of living beings."

After saying that, she looked at him and said, "High God Lu Qiu, I have a question for you."

Lu Qiu nodded and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Zhu Lin stared at him for a while and asked, "Do you still remember the rules of the Six Realms? As the ruler of the Demon Realm, you won’t say that you don’t know these rules, right?"

When she asked this question, Lu Qiu’s calm face stiffened for a moment, and then returned to normal. Although the change in his expression only lasted for a second, Zhu Lin still saw it.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "High God Lu Qiu, did I guess it right? You really don’t remember these rules."

Since he is also a god and could not lie, Lu Qiu turned away and refused to answer. Just by looking at his reaction and his lack of answer to her questions, Zhu Lin already knew the answer.

She shook her head and said, "As a High God and as the ruler of the Demon Realm, you should know these general rules by heart. It’s unbelievable that you have lived longer than me, but you still don’t remember these rules. I wonder where you lived before and what you did during your long life."

Hearing what she said, Lu Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Isn’t all of this because of that despicable Devil God? If he hadn’t sealed me in this broken world for more than twenty thousand years, I wouldn’t have forgotten most of my memories."

After saying that, Lu Qiu turned away angrily, refusing to look at Zhu Lin who was protecting Xiu Wu. Seeing his reaction and listening to his words full of anger and hatred, Zhu Lin lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

’It seems that there is another reason why the Devil God sealed High God Lu Qiu in this world. If it were just because High God Lu Qiu and I are getting engaged, the Devil God could have caused trouble in the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm, or directly killed High God Lu Qiu. With how powerful the Devil God is, I believe that High God Lu Qiu is no match for him. But the Devil God did not kill High God Lu Qiu, but personally sealed him here instead. What is the purpose behind all of his actions?’

Zhu Lin rubbed her eyebrows, closed her eyes and thought: ’The more I know, the more questions I have. It seems that I still need to find the true purpose of the Devil God to create this world and come here in person.’

While Zhu Lin was still thinking, Xiu Wu walked out of the kitchen.
