Hours later, the man opened his eyes.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What happened to me?"
Upon waking, the man asked himself these three bewildered questions. He got up and touched his head, feeling as if he had slept for a very long time.
He didn't know exactly how long, only that his head was still buzzing, his mind a complete blank.
"You're awake," Zhou Yan said, seeing the man stir.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yan stepped forward, unleashing a powerful divine energy fluctuation to examine the man's soul. Understanding his condition, he explained, "Your soul has recovered, but it's severely damaged, causing memory problems."
"To put it plainly, you're suffering from amnesia."
"Do you understand now?"
Zhou Yan looked at the man, trying to explain it simply.
"I'm suffering from amnesia?" The man looked utterly confused, then asked, "What kind of amnesia?"
"Also, who are you? Are you a relative of mine?"
Zhou Yan stood up and replied, "Don't go around claiming relatives. I'm not yours. I just happened to split open a stone and find you."
"You were buried within the rocks, likely by some special item that enveloped you and led you into the stone. Then, by chance, I split it open and discovered you. If you think about it, you should call me 'dad'."
Zhou Yan chuckled as he spoke.
The man, upon hearing this, blurted out, "Dad?"
Zhou Yan responded, "Yes."
The man was speechless.
"Tomorrow, I'll try to find out who you are. You should rest well today," Zhou Yan said.
"What's your name?" the man inquired.
"I'm Zhou Yan," Zhou Yan replied.
"Oh," the man nodded.
As he left, he encountered Zhen Mi and Diao Chan, who asked curiously, "Has the person who was split from the stone awakened?"
"Yes, I've revived him. His soul is damaged, and it won't be easy to recover," Zhou Yan replied.
"So he remembers nothing?" Diao Chan asked, her beautiful eyes wide.
"Tomorrow, we'll check the [Heaven and Earth Library] to find out his identity. In the Lower Realm, is there anyone I can't investigate?" Zhou Yan replied confidently.
"If it weren't for the [Heaven and Earth Library], you wouldn't be able to say something like that, would you?" Diao Chan looked at Zhou Yan, while Zhen Mi giggled beside her, covering her mouth.
"Oh, you're getting bolder. Prepare for my family discipline."
With that, Zhou Yan scooped up Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, one in each arm, and carried them towards the [Lingxiao Palace].
Diao Chan and Zhen Mi cried out in feigned distress.
[Lingxiao Palace]: (⊙︿⊙)
The next day, Zhou Yan, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi went to the character archive of the [Heaven and Earth Library]. It had been used yesterday, so they hadn't checked it.
This library was specifically for inquiring about individuals. Upon entering, Zhou Yan directly asked, "Book Spirit, help me investigate the identity of the sleeping man in my territory."
"Cannot inquire," the Character Book Spirit replied.
"Cannot inquire?" Zhou Yan was very surprised. The reason he couldn't inquire was that the man was not from the Lower Realm.
"He's not from the Lower Realm," Zhou Yan exclaimed.
"Correct. Unless you ascend to the Divine Realm, I can inquire. But since he's not from the Lower Realm, I am powerless," the Character Book Spirit replied.
"I didn't expect this person to be from the Divine Realm. Didn't they say the Lower Realm doesn't allow experts who surpass the God Realm?" Diao Chan asked curiously.
"Could it be that his current realm hasn't surpassed the God Realm yet?" Zhen Mi also inquired.
Zhou Yan nodded and replied, "His current realm has indeed not surpassed the God Realm; he's only at the Half-God stage. Furthermore, he's from the Great Desolation World. It seems finding out his identity won't be easy."
"Are you going to the Great Desolation World?" Diao Chan asked.
"Of all the myriad worlds, only there are more high-level spirit veins. Naturally, I must go there to buy more high-level spirit veins," Zhou Yan nodded.
"I want to go too," Diao Chan replied.
"Me too," Zhen Mi added.
"I'll summon you over once I get there," Zhou Yan agreed.
The two women smiled in satisfaction.
Zhou Yan found the man again. Seeing Zhou Yan arrive, the man asked, "Zhou Yan, who are these two?"
"They are my wives. This is Diao Chan, and this is Zhen Mi," Zhou Yan introduced.
The man nodded, then inquired, "Do you know who I am yet?"
"No," Zhou Yan replied. Da Feng Novel Network
"You don't know, then who exactly am I?" The man pondered, a question he hadn't answered all day.
"Perhaps you'll know once we return to the Great Desolation World," Zhou Yan said.
"Am I from there?" the man asked.
"Yes, I bought you from there. I'm sending you back now. Until you regain your memory, I'll call you Ye Xun."
"I've heard that people surnamed Ye are usually protagonists of their worlds. Perhaps you're the protagonist of that world too."
"Ye Xun, that name sounds quite good. I'll use it then," Ye Xun nodded and asked, "When do we depart?"
"We leave now. However, before that, I need your cooperation. The Great Desolation World cannot be entered by ordinary means. Only through you can I get in," Zhou Yan explained.
"My life was saved by you, and now you're helping me find my memories. Naturally, I trust you," Ye Xun replied.
Zhou Yan used special techniques to inscribe profound divine patterns, patterns that were extraordinary and complex, beyond the understanding of most.
"These divine patterns are very powerful and excellent. This is a kind of spatial connection formation..."
Although Ye Xun had lost his memory, his insight and comprehension skills were high. Moreover, as someone from the Divine Realm, he could understand Zhou Yan's formations.
One by one, divine patterns appeared within Ye Xun's body. Zhou Yan found a connection to the Great Desolation World through him.
Everyone has a pathway to a corresponding world. Zhou Yan located this place through Ye Xun and, using special means, prepared to travel to that world with him.
As the formation became more complete, the entire teleportation space underwent significant changes.
Zhou Yan said to Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, "Ye Xun and I will go to the Great Desolation World first. We'll bring you over once we're settled."
"Okay," the two women replied.
Zhou Yan looked at Ye Xun and said, "Let's go. Perhaps you'll remember something there."
Ye Xun also nodded, and then the two of them stepped into the spatial teleportation channel, leaving the territory together.
They traveled through the wormhole, flying towards a certain destination, which was the Great Desolation World.
Nothing significant was happening, but Zhou Yan soon discovered a powerful oppressive force surging towards them.
