Chapter 374 The Unexpected Thing About the King of Qianwu

A hundred billion epochs ago? That's not even a long time ago? Is that something a human would say?

Seeing Zhou Ze's barely concealed expression, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom couldn't help but laugh, "I forgot, you're still very young, not even an era old yet—"

Mentioning the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, one can't help but exclaim again, "It's hard to believe that you've grown to this level in less than an era. Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"

"To be honest, I became a Venerable One trillion epochs ago. As one of the earliest Venerable Ones among humanity, I was entrusted with the important task of guarding the cosmic kingdom. But even now, I am only a High Venerable One. Let alone the Lord of the Universe, I am still far from being a Overlord!"

"Alright, Qianwu, a hundred billion epochs is indeed not a long time for you —" Zhou Ze retorted helplessly.

Those who can become rulers of the universe, apart from a very few who break through to become rulers of the universe or those who perish along the way, are almost all extremely ancient relics.

This ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is probably from the same era as the original ancestor.

"Thank you so much for your help this time, Qianwu!" Zhou Ze said gratefully.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom naturally understood the implied meaning behind Zhou Ze's words "drive people away." He struggled slightly internally, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Ze, I want to ask you for a favor. Of course, it's not because I'm blackmailing you about this matter. I'm just afraid that if I miss this opportunity, I won't have the courage to do it again next time—"

"Oh?"

Zhou Ze blinked. Did the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom want to borrow money from him? Well, borrowing a little wouldn't bother him. After all, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was quite interesting and had a good character. Even when he firmly refused him back then, the ruler didn't show any anger.

Keep in mind that back then he was just a minor planetary-level being, while the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was a supreme and great being.

This is why the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is extremely popular and has many friends, including many true friends. Although this is partly due to his long lifespan, if the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom were selfish, there certainly wouldn't be people taking his treasures every time he dies.

In my past life, when I was browsing forums and reading fanfiction, I was often amused by the phrase "money has no ruler." Who would have thought that this unlucky guy would come to me for a loan now? Life is truly unpredictable, but it's also quite amusing.

"King of the Qianwu Kingdom, are you trying to borrow money from me?" Zhou Ze almost couldn't help but laugh.

(o)——

The King of Qianwu Kingdom was stunned. How did Zhou Ze know about this embarrassing incident? It's true what they say, good news goes unnoticed, but bad news travels fast.

However, considering Zhou Ze's status and position, he must have extremely high authority, and a little investigation would surely reveal his affairs.

"Uh—no, that's not it—" the King of Qianwu Kingdom said awkwardly, "I wanted to ask you to guide me on the laws of time!"

(Oo)——

Now it was Zhou Ze's turn to be stunned. Who would have thought that a dignified, veteran Venerable, perhaps an extremely ancient figure from the same era as the Primordial Ancestor, would disregard his reputation and ask such a young junior to guide him?

You know, on Earth, many people are too proud to ask someone younger than themselves for guidance, let alone an ancient and respected figure like the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Just like Venerable Guiyi, he could sense that Venerable Guiyi really wanted to ask him for guidance, but he couldn't bring himself to ask because of his pride and face.

Seeing Zhou Ze's stunned expression, the Qianwu Kingdom King smiled wryly and said, "I know you're surprised, but I've long since come to terms with it. What's the use of saving face? If losing some face can help you pay off your debts, or even improve yourself, why not?"

"Compared to saving face, improving my strength is the most important thing. Besides, at this point, what face do I still have left to save?"

Zhou Ze smiled even more and said, "Senior has such a mindset, I can only say I admire him. In my hometown, there is an old saying: 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. I will choose the good qualities of the person and follow them, and correct the bad qualities of the person.'"

"There was once a saint on Earth," no one would have imagined that such a noble person would become the disciple of a seven-year-old prodigy, Xiang Su.

Seeing Zhou Ze's genuine admiration, devoid of any arrogance, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom felt a surge of goodwill towards Zhou Ze. He shook his head bitterly and said, "The sage I told you about is incomparable. I've merely had my edges smoothed by time, while he genuinely sought knowledge from the bottom of his heart."

Zhou Ze said indifferently, "No matter what, the result is the same, which means that we are not wrong. It's just that the process is different. There is no fixed method. Everyone's way of attaining enlightenment is different, but the result is the same, which means that we have not gone astray."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and said, "Zhou Ze, you don't need to comfort me. But your words make me feel much better. I was feeling awkward and uneasy just now."

Zhou Ze nodded slightly: "It's nothing. As long as our thoughts are clear, that's enough. We almost became master and disciple back then, and now we're discussing the Dao here again, which is enough to show that we are destined to meet. Those who are destined will meet even if they are a thousand miles apart, while those who are not destined will not meet even if they are face to face!"

""

Zhou Ze and the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom chatted, supposedly casually, but they ended up discussing the Dao and talked a lot. Of course, Zhou Ze himself didn't have much to talk about; the main topic was the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom.

After all, this is a true living antique, existing for trillions of years. To this day, all sorts of ancient secrets and gossip make Zhou Ze, along with the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, feel excited, joyful, sometimes in tears, and sometimes extremely angry.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom would occasionally recreate scenes from those years in front of the two of them.

Zhou Ze felt his consciousness travel back to the primordial era with the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, witnessing the rise of the Primordial Ancestor, his imprisonment, the panic of the human race, the retreat of their territory, and major events in various important eras of humankind.

Then came the misfortune and grief of the three deaths of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler. At some point, the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler became completely immersed in his own inner turmoil—

"Forehead----"

Zhou Ze could clearly sense a special power gathering within the heart of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler!

"What the hell?"

Zhou Ze was slightly taken aback.

This Qian Wuguozhuo actually practiced his "Mind Cultivation Method"?

It's one thing for others to buy his "Mental State Cultivation Method," but the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom knows his background and yet he also bought it. That's interesting.

This is already at the beginner level of mental cultivation; it seems you've been studying it quite a bit.

Zhou Ze pondered for a moment and quickly understood. It was nothing more than curiosity about his secret technique, wondering why its price could be on par with those of the true pinnacle beings.

Furthermore, he had long harbored the idea of ​​requesting guidance, believing that at least he needed to know some of his hobbies, share some common ground, and gain his favor. Although he was truly short of money, what he lacked were Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Points. Points and Mixed Yuan Units were, while not exactly worthless to him, not particularly useful either.

"Life is unpredictable. I never imagined that the most tragic figure among the Venerables, Lord Qianwu, would actually achieve the first stage of enlightenment—"

Zhou Ze couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
