Before Fike could finish, Master Quan had already opened his mouth to speak.

"The two of you, please take a look at this statue in front of me. This is a golden statue of a world deity."

Master Quan pointed at the fiercely glaring golden statue as he spoke.

Fike glanced at it before continuing to speak to Master Quan.

"Then, could Master Quan tell us information regarding these world deities?"

Master Quan took a deep breath, calmly counting his breaths before continuing.

"When the two of you entered Gufa Town, you should have already heard information regarding world deities from the locals, right?"

Fike nodded as he replied.

"Indeed, we have heard some of it, but we still need to hear the details!"

Master Quan did not make a sound.

Fike continued watching the young monk like this. A few seconds later, Master Quan finally opened his mouth to continue.

"The world deity was originally a speck of dust in the universe. After drifting between galaxies for tens of thousands of years, he finally comprehended the profound mysteries of the universe and took a human form, creating this piece of land under our feet."

"Then, did the world deity take in any disciples?"

Fike asked.

Master Quan ignored his question and went on.

"The world deity once said that the world is a cycle of reincarnation!

"Although this is the first time the two of you have met me, in the past or the future, we have already met countless times."

As Xiao Zhao listened to the man's vague words, she could not stand it anymore and started to pull Fike away, wanting to leave.

Fike comforted her as he continued to speak sincerely.

"Master Quan, can you explain the profoundness behind this? I really don't understand."

Master Quan smiled as he replied.

"This silver-haired young brother and this young lady, I think you two haven't known each other for long."

Xiao Zhao quickly answered.

"Indeed, I have only known him for less than four days. Why does it matter?"

Having received a reply, Master Quan continued.

"But from what I see, you two have known each other for tens of millions of years, or even longer."

Xiao Zhao couldn't take it anymore.

"What right do you have to say that? Just because of your attitude?"

Master Quan didn't get angry, but remained calmly.

"Although this lady doesn't believe it now, from what I see, in the future, or in the past, you will always come to understand what I'm saying today."

As Xiao Zhao listened to the young monks confusing words, her head was a mess of confusion.

At this moment, Fike stepped forward and asked.

"Then, Master Quan, may I ask if you know any other information regarding world deities? For example, where did they go after they created our world?"

Hearing this, the man was finally quite frank as he spoke.

"World deities have entered a new cycle of reincarnation.

"Reincarnation, it could mean anything in this world."

After hearing this, the pious hope in Fike's heart finally wavered.

Fike was about to bid farewell to the young master, but at this moment, Master Quan spoke.

"The two of you, it's already late. Why don't you stay in my temple for a night before leaving? This trip will be worth it."

Fike looked out of the hall. The Sun had indeed set.

He nodded in agreement.

Master Quan called up the man named Apu, and ordered him to bring the pair to an empty room in the temple.

Just as Fike and Xiao Zhao were about to leave, Master Quan chanted leisurely again.

"Reincarnation, reincarnation. There's no moon tonight. The twilight winds blow gently and knock on the door in the middle of the night."

Fike absorbed the words thoughtfully as he followed Apu along to his room.

The pair finally stopped at an empty room in the Ancient Temple of Gufa.

Then, Apu left them.

There was only one bed in this room, and it was very simple and crude.

Looking at their surroundings, Xiao Zhao could not help but ask aloud.

"What should we do? There is only one bed here!"

Fike looked at Xiao Zhao as he replied nonchalantly.

"You can sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

Xiao Zhao looked at Fike, embarrassed as she muttered softly.

"If you don't mind, we can squeeze together. It's not like we can't sleep."

Fike looked at the shy Xiao Zhao and just shook his head.

Seeing that he had rejected her, the flustered Xiao Zhao quickly changed the topic.

"I think Master Quan is a liar. When the sun rises tomorrow, we should return to the East Immortal Sect! Second Elder's words will definitely be more effective than this liar's!"

Fike smiled and said nothing in reply.

"Are you hungry? I still have a few pieces of roast meat left."

Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up as she nodded.

Fike took out a beef leg from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Zhao, who gnawed on it with relish.

As she chewed, she asked Fike.

"Fike, aren't you hungry?"

Fike shook his head.

"You eat, I'm not hungry."

After that, Xiao Zhao and Fike discussed several topics, from spells and magic power to their own experiences.

The pair chatted happily.

Xiao Zhao, after hearing Fike's description of the Royal City of Romon, excitedly asked repeatedly.

"Is there really such a luxurious place in this world?"

Only then did Fike realize that the Royal City of Romon that he had been mentioning was a city that only existed 3,000 years in this world's future.

So, he could only smile foolishly and nod his head in a perfunctory manner.

After a round of chatting all night, Xiao Zhao finally fell to exhaustion and fell asleep.

Before that, she had thoughtfully helped Fike fold a quilt.

It was already late at night, and seeing that Xiao Zhao had fallen asleep, Fike began to recall what Master Quan had said today.

"Reincarnation? What does that mean?"

"Could it be that Master Quan knows that I'm someone from the future?"

Fike muttered to himself in confusion.

"Oh! Right before we left, what did Master Quan say?"

Fike tried hard to recall.

The hidden message gave him a hint once again.

[Hidden Information: What Master Quan said at the end was; Reincarnation, reincarnation. There's no moon tonight. The twilight winds blow gently and knock on the door in the middle of the night.]

Fike looked at the hidden message and asked.

"Hidden message, do you know what this means?"

[Hidden Information: I'm not sure, but he may have wanted you to look for him now. I would suggest you go to Master Quan's room now. Maybe you'll find something unexpected.]

Fike replied after seeing this.

"Actually, I think so too. In that case, let's go and have a look! We won't lose anything anyway!"

Fike gently pushed the door open.

Before he left, he glanced at Xiao Zhao, who was sleeping soundly. Then, he quietly closed the door and found his way to the young monk's room.

When he came to the door, as expected, the moon could not be seen tonight.

Thick clouds completely blocked out the moonlight as a gentle breeze blew against the trees in the ancient temple.

Seeing that Master Quan's room was still bright, he smiled.

"It seems that Master Quan really meant that!"
