The clown!
The sudden appearance of the clown caused Xiao Yumei and the others to knit their brows. For some reason, even though they'd never seen him before, they all felt like he was from the Outside.
Little did they know, when Zhou Wu saw him, his eyes lit up with hope after a brief moment of shock.
"Artist, great artist, you came just in time. I beg you, save her!"
Zhou Wu's eyes were filled with pleading, then he knelt before the clown.
His kneeling shocked Gu Li and the others.
As far as they knew, they'd never seen Zhou Wu kneel to anyone before. For the Divine Arbiter, he was willing to give up his most cherished dignity.
The visual impact left Xiao Yumei and the others dumbfounded.
But more than anything, they felt regret. If only he'd known this would happen. If he hadn't unleashed that fatal attack on the Divine Arbiter, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Your Excellency, I beg you, please save her. In this world, only you …."
"Let me see!"
He beckoned with his finger, and the Divine Arbiter floated up to him.
"Oh, you actually have a child in your belly."
"Yes, Your Excellency. But this child isn't important. I beg you, please save the Divine Arbiter, "Zhou Wu begged bitterly.
"She's very important to you!"
"Yes, very important. More important than anything else!"
"So that's how it is!"
The Divine Arbiter nodded in understanding. Her hand flickered with light as she brushed it against the Divine Arbiter's head.
Zhou Wu's eyes brimmed with hope as he knelt piously, waiting for the Divine Arbiter to be saved.
"Since she's so important, the price is naturally much higher. What do you want to trade for her?"
"I …."
Zhou Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned.
That's right!
He'd almost forgotten that in order to get what he wanted from the Divine Arbiter, he had to offer a corresponding bargaining chip.
Ordinary items couldn't satisfy the Divine Arbiter, but he ….
He'd traded his heart in the Time Corridor.
He'd traded his soul in order to transcend.
Two of humanity's most important commodities were now being used as bargaining chips. He really didn't know what to trade for them.
No!
And ….
Suddenly, a bargaining chip of equal value appeared in Zhou Wu's mind.
Back when Zhou Wu had traded the heart and soul, he had not hesitated at all. But now, when he thought of this bargaining chip, he could not make a decision.
He couldn't bear to!
He gritted his teeth and unclenched his fists several times.
From his body movements, it could be seen how much he was struggling and suffering in his heart. Then he saw the Divine Arbiter's pale face. He saw that she was on the verge of closing her eyes, but she still struggled to look into his eyes.
Memories flashed through Zhou Wu's mind. After a long while, he seemed to make up his mind …
"Your Majesty, can you really save her?"
"The Great Artist can naturally do it, as long as you can give the corresponding bargaining chips. But I don't think you have anything else to exchange! "It laughed.
"Yes! I have it! " Zhou Wu gnashed his teeth so hard that his muscles trembled. "I'll use my memories with the Divine Arbiter as an exchange. I'll use all my memories of her to exchange for a new life for her!"
"…"
Xiao Yumei and the others were dumbfounded.
Using memories to exchange for it?
Some people would say that it was their lives, while others would say that it was their wealth. But in reality, the most important and valuable thing for humans was their memories.
Especially those blissful memories!
Their lives would eventually come to an end, and they would no longer be able to use their wealth. When they grew old, they would lie in bed, unable to move, and could only passively wait for their lives to come to an end. When they were alone, in the darkness, with no one to accompany them …
Only their memories accompanied them as they walked forward.
When the Divine Arbiter heard this, she trembled, then began to scream like a madwoman.
"No, don't …."
"Shut up, little one."
The Divine Arbiter gently patted the Divine Arbiter's head, and she fell into a deep slumber. Then, it looked at Zhou Wu with admiration.
"You're amazing! Your memories with her? Alright, I approve of this bargaining chip!"
The Divine Arbiter dragged the Divine Arbiter down to Zhou Wu. Her comical clown face split into a wide grin, and she gently patted Zhou Wu's head.
"I'm taking this bargaining chip!"
"Wonderful!"
Zhou Wu let out a long sigh, a wide smile on his face.
However, as he smiled, tears streamed down his cheeks. He knew that, before long, his memories with the Divine Arbiter would vanish from his mind.
He couldn't struggle. He could only use these last few seconds to see their past.
In just a few breaths …
The Divine Arbiter retracted her hand from Zhou Wu's head, revealing an elite ball of light in her palm. This ball contained all of Zhou Wu's and the Divine Arbiter's memories.
"Wake up!"
With a soft call, Zhou Wu opened his eyes.
"Her Majesty, why are you here?"
Zhou Wu's eyes were filled with shock. At the same time, he glanced at the Divine Arbiter. Although he was curious about this stranger, he didn't dare ask too many questions in front of the Divine Arbiter. But for some reason, he couldn't stop himself from looking at the Divine Arbiter.
Was it because she was too beautiful?
The Divine Arbiter was indeed beautiful. She could even be described as breathtakingly beautiful. Even as a God Emperor, Zhou Wu had never seen such a beauty before.
But she belonged to the Divine Arbiter. No matter how attractive she was, he couldn't look at her for too long.
If the Divine Arbiter found out, he'd be in deep trouble!
However, he felt the corners of his eyes moisten. He touched them to see if there were any tears that hadn't dried up yet.
Crying?
He was a mighty God Emperor. How could he cry? Were they tears of excitement after transcending?
This was too embarrassing! And he'd done it in front of the Divine Arbiter!
"Her Majesty, I'm truly sorry. I might have lost my composure just now."
"It's fine. I understand!" The Divine Arbiter laughed.
"This …."
Xiao Yumei and the others froze. They'd never imagined that a technique like this existed that could completely strip a person's memories. Zhou Wu no longer had any recollection of the Divine Arbiter. This was truly ….
It was too shocking!
"Her Majesty, what brings you here?" asked Zhou Wu.
"Your efficiency is too slow, so I came over to see if you're slacking off." The Divine Arbiter patted Zhou Wu on the shoulder. "Don't disappoint me. Hurry up and destroy this era. That way, I can take you to a world that will truly bring you joy."
"I've troubled you, Her Majesty. I really did run into some troublesome fellows."
