For some reason, Yun Ce's face didn't look very good.

But he did not avoid Chen Tang's inquiring and doubtful gaze, but suddenly unbuttoned his collar and pulled it down, turning around and saying: "In Ce's sect, all disciples will have the same tattoos on their bodies as a mark, but I have never seen these people..."

Most of his clothes were piled up like clouds around his waist.

As Yun Ce turned around, Chen Tang saw that his undulating back had scars and a tattoo the size of a knuckle. This tattoo was exactly the same as the one on the corpse, and also the same as the pattern on the cloth in her hand.

She couldn't help but be surprised: "So Zi Gu also has it?"

Yun Ce nodded: "Yeah."

Being honest by nature, he was afraid that Chen Tang would not believe him, so he explained again: "Ce and Zi Gu are from the same school. There are not many people in the school, most of them are orphans picked up by the teacher when he was traveling. We have never seen these people on earth. I wanted to write a letter to the teacher to ask if there was any enemy who impersonated him to ruin his reputation, but the military advisor said that it was the will of the gods."

Specifically, it is the emblem of the Society of the Gods.

Yun Ce could only temporarily give up the idea of writing a letter to inquire.

He wants to find out the truth and clear the teacher's name.

Chen Tang raised his eyebrows: "Which military advisor?"

Yun Ce glanced at everyone present.

Chen Tang: “…”

She didn't know much about the Gods Society, only about the previous battle, when the sixteenth-level Grand Master let slip that Huang Xiguang was suspected to have a connection with the Gods Society, and Zhang Yongqing was also unclear about this force. She thought it was some mysterious organization, but judging from the reactions of her subordinates, she was the only one who didn't know? Chen Tang sorted out his thoughts and motioned for everyone to speak slowly.

"My first question, what would the gods be?"

Chu Yao replied: "It is an alliance of both literary and military talents. Its members are all talented and well-known people from all over the continent, or powerful overlords who have established their own foothold. If nothing unexpected happens, the lord may also receive an invitation to join the alliance."

Shen Tang rolled his eyes internally.

She had a very negative view of the alliance.

Huang Xiguang and Zhang Yongqing have both contacted her, why not look for her? Do the gods look down on her, Shen Youli? Bad review!

"Second question, aren't you all members?"

Sincerity is the secret weapon!

She has worked with these subordinates for so many years, and both sides know each other well, so there is no need to beat around the bush. Facing a mysterious force that is unfriendly to her, Chen Tang does not like to fight an unprepared battle, but she also does not want to be rebelled against in her own nest.

Chu Yao and the others shook their heads.

It is true that they had come into contact with the Society of the Gods, and a few even joined for a short period of time, but they eventually left the society due to differences in ideology.

Gu Chi hesitated to speak and looked at Chen Tang.

In the end, the matter of Qishan was never revealed.

If he didn't say it, it would be even more inconvenient for Ning Yan to take over.

Qishan’s status on the lord’s side is too special. Even if we want to talk about Qishan’s situation in the Assembly of Gods, we have to discuss it in private.

"The third question is, how much will the gods know?"

Chu Yao took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Tang with both hands. When they came over, they exchanged information with each other, sorted out and summarized it, and wrote a booklet. All the information about the Gods' Meeting was on it.

Shen Tang opened it with a serious expression.

She did not read the book at a glance, but read it word by word, fearing that she would miss any important content. As she read to the end, Shen Tang's brows sometimes relaxed, and sometimes knitted. After a long time, she closed the book carefully.

Chen Tang is now basically certain that this Gods Association is the mysterious organization mentioned by Evil Thought. Even if it is not, the two are inextricably linked. This is also the enemy of the future!

"From this, it seems that some of the members of the Gods' Association are a bit sick in the head, and the arrogance of the superiors is overflowing. They regard the forces as chess pieces and manipulate them to play games, just to prove their own talents or practice so-called morality, and treat people as guinea pigs? From a macro perspective, they are indeed secretly influencing the world's situation and stirring up the situation... Pah! MLM organizations are so high-end?"

She really wanted to complain about the last sentence.

What is the essential difference between the way the Gods Association recruits new members and the way pyramid schemes develop downlines? If there is a difference, pyramid schemes will be punished by the light of justice, but the Gods Association develops leaders of powerful forces as members, which is a disguised way of creating amulets...

Chen Tang rubbed his nose as he looked at Chu Yao and the others.

"This God Society is an enemy, not a friend."

Yun Ce was still concerned about his own master.

With a pleading look in his eyes: "My Lord—"

His master's sect has absolutely nothing to do with the Gods Society!

The pattern or something, maybe it’s just a coincidence

Or maybe the teacher had joined the Gods Association, but then quit, and decided to use this pattern because it looked good? Yun Ce couldn't accept that a kind and gentle teacher wouldn't take human life seriously! Not to mention secretly instigating a fight between the various forces.

Chen Tang comforted him, "Don't worry, Yuanmou, I will investigate this matter. However, the problem with this Gods Association is indeed very big. It seems to be just an ordinary civilian elite organization, but judging from the composition of the Gods Association and the behavior style of its members, they should extremely hate unification. It is understandable if you think about it. Before the emergence of a unified force, they can take advantage of loopholes and even hide in the dark, controlling the world as a chess player. Once a unified force is born-"

The information provided by Evil Thoughts is highly consistent with the letter.

Chen Tang paused here and sneered.

"The leader of a unified power must be a powerful ruler. How could he allow a power with such a superior position to surpass him? The contradiction between the two is visible to the naked eye. The Gods Association may also be aware of this. It is in their best interest to fight against the hundreds of countries in the world. The Gods Association, think of a way to get more intelligence, so that you can be prepared for any eventuality and win every battle."

Today, Chen Tang is still not in the eyes of the Gods Assembly.

But that doesn't matter.

The enemy can be guarded against as long as they are not in the dark.

However, when she thought of what Evil Thought said, before the Thief Star came, there was a force similar to Wen Xin Wu Dan in this world, and they were united together... Chen Tang had a headache. She was not afraid of how powerful this force was, but she was afraid that this force had too deep a foundation.

The existence of unknown strength is the most troublesome!

According to the information provided by Shannian, before the arrival of the meteor, there was a violent and evil force in the world that could cause plants and animals to degenerate and mutate. Could this force be the same as the power possessed by the founder of the mysterious organization

All kinds of complicated thoughts lingered in Shen Tang's mind.

Finally, the picture freezes on Zhang Yongqing's cloth.

She picked up the cloth and examined it carefully. No one dared to disturb her thoughts until Chen Tang asked, "Besides this pattern, does the Gods have any other symbols?"

This sign made her feel uncomfortable.

Again, the same words -

What kind of good person would use a nuclear radiation symbol as his company emblem

She murmured, "Is this pattern a coincidence? Wuhui, do you know what the gods mean by this pattern?"

Chu Yao and others shook their heads.

No one knows the origin of this pattern.

However, Shen Tang could answer the previous question.

There was no paper or pen in the makeshift tent, so Gu Chi could only use his sword sheath as a pen to draw the hierarchy of the members of the Gods Society on the ground. Chen Tang came up curiously and tilted his neck to watch him write and draw. Gu Chi drew a "big": "This is the symbol of the lowest level of members in the Gods Society, and this is the second level..."

Seeing two big hands holding hands, her expression froze. When she saw three big hands holding hands in a circle, she became numb.

Gu Chi has already drawn the highest level logo.

Said: "My lord, that's it, my lord?"

Before he finished asking, he heard a high-pitched, ghostly scream coming from beside him, which shocked Gu Chi so much that he covered his ears with his hands.

Grass grass grass grass grass —

Everyone present was a smart person. They knew that their master was in trouble without even looking at Chi's reaction. Chen Tang was not a person who did not show his emotions. At this moment, his expression flashed through shock, astonishment, fear, dullness, numbness... All kinds of emotions were mixed together, so complicated that they could not distinguish the specific components.

The state did not last long. Chen Tang took the initiative to suppress his thoughts and looked at Gu Chi with a little guilt. Gu Chi patted his ears and smiled bitterly: "My lord, do you have any other discoveries?"

It had been a long time since her mind had been so out of control.

Chen Tang covered his head and said, "I don't know what to say - Wang Chao, come and identify it. Have you seen this?"

She picked up Gu Chi's scabbard in the hope of getting lucky.

Swish, swish, swish, three black ping-pong paddle-like patterns were drawn on the ground, with the handles facing inwards. Each ping-pong paddle was connected by a black arc, and there was a black solid circle in the middle. There was a narrow black circle outside...

Gu Chi carefully identified it for a long time, and nodded under Chen Tang's complicated gaze: "I have seen this pattern in the meeting of the gods."

After getting the answer, Shen Tang's shoulders suddenly slumped.

My thoughts are all repetitive: WTF—

Although she had a bold guess in her heart, Chen Tang still wanted to ask what the gods thought of the pictures she drew. Gu Chi said, "It seems to be an internal meeting. From what the lord said, you seem to know the meaning of these pictures?"

Chen Tang laughed and pointed at the patterns on the cloth and the corpse and said, "This is a nuclear radiation warning sign, the one you drew should be a biological and chemical sign, and the one I drew is a chemical weapon sign... In short, these three patterns should not appear here... At least not in this era... Something is wrong, everything is wrong, what went wrong!"

After explaining the meaning of the diagram, Chen Tang's thoughts became disorganized, and he kept repeating the words "something is wrong" and "it shouldn't be right". Even Gu Chi couldn't catch any useful content. Gu Chi and the others looked at each other, and looked at Chen Tang with worried eyes.

After a long time -

Chen Tang rubbed his swollen temples and exhaled a breath of foul air, lowering his head and saying, "You should be honest with me, and I shouldn't hide anything from you. It's just that I haven't sorted out the clues of this matter myself, and I'm worried that it will affect your mentality if I tell you rashly. Wuhui, give me some time to think about it carefully. I'll arrange the matter of the Gods' Meeting later and find a way to plant a spy in it."

She has a choice of young talents with a reputation.

Whether it was Yu Zi, who had a very high limit in the Way of the Scholar, or Lin Feng, who had a second-grade upper-level Wen Xin and outstanding talent, their age and reputation met the Gods' recruitment standards. It was just unknown whether they would extend an olive branch to the two of them, and they needed to plan.

Seeing that the lord's condition was visibly worse, everyone did not dare to stay too long. The purpose of coming here today was to confess the existence of the Gods' Association, and the lord just needed to be on guard. They saluted and prepared to leave, when Chen Tang suddenly said, "Wang Chao, stay."

Gu Chi had no intention of moving: "Yes."

Chen Tang added: "Send someone to find Gong Xichou."

Soon, she and Gu Chi were the only ones left in the tent.

Gu Chi quietly listened, waiting for Chen Tang to finish his speech: "Wang Chao, I don't have any secrets from you, and there are some things that can only be discussed with you. You also know that this body is not mine. My first memory of this world was when I was twelve years old. When I opened my eyes, I found myself on the road to exile. I don't know who this body is, what its name is, or what its past is. Not only do I not know this body, I don't even remember my original appearance and experience. I only have vague memories."

Gu Chi said softly: "Well, the lord once said that he had extraordinary painting skills. He used to be a painter and made a living by painting."

Of course, he didn't believe this.

If any painter has this level, he will go hungry for nine meals in three days.

Even a serious painter wouldn't be so skillful in killing and fighting.

Chen Tang said in embarrassment: "I am really a painter! It's just that you don't know how to appreciate my work. If I don't show you my skills later, you really think I am kidding you! This is not the point. The point is that these pictures should not exist in this era. Do you understand?"

Gu Chi was at a loss: "What do you mean?"

Chen Tang turned into an anxious beast, limping back and forth with her sickle in her hand, and Gu Chi felt exhausted for her.

My lord, if it doesn’t work, let’s sit down and talk slowly!

"It means - either someone from the world I know traveled to this world hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and these patterns were brought by him/her. The Gods Association may also be a trap set by the other party! Using these patterns as logos may just be a bad taste of the other party." Chen Tang had to explain to him the meaning of the word "travel". "Oh, travel is when a person's soul goes from one world to another!"

Gu Chi nodded.

He had been poisoned by Chen Tang's inner voice for many years.

He knows a lot about time travel. He even plans to write a time travel story in his spare time. If it is lucky enough to be passed down to future generations, he will definitely be the founder of this genre.

"My Lord, do you mean there are other possibilities?"

Gu Chi was very responsive and noticed the key point.

Chen Tang changed his previous anxiety and said a very scary and absurd guess: "There is another possibility. Hundreds and thousands of years ago, the social form of this world was the same as the world I know. No one traveled to the past, and this is the future!"

No matter how smart Gu Chi is, he still has some confusion.

He murmured, "Is this the future?"

"Yes, this is the future!" Chen Tang gave him an example, "It's like we have Wen Xin Wu Dan now. Hundreds and thousands of years later, as the written records disappeared, the descendants gradually lost the qualifications to practice as their bloodline passed down, generation after generation. They accidentally discovered the records related to 'Wen Xin Wu Dan', just like these things..."

Chen Tang pointed to the pattern on the ground.

Gu Chi raised his hand.

Chen Tang said: “You ask!”

"Why is the lord so sure that this is the future?"

Just because of these pictures

Why can't it be a coincidence

"It's very simple to verify the two guesses. If it's the second one, then there are definitely relics of 'modern civilization' in this world. If there are no relics, then it's most likely the first one." Although he said this, Chen Tang already had the answer in his heart.

Gu Chi asked her, "How does the Lord want to verify it?"

Looking for the so-called "relics"

and-

Gu Chi is not interested in whether the present is the "past" or the "future": "No matter what, people should live in the present."

What's the point of figuring this out

Chen Tang said, "Do you know about nuclear weapons? That thing, bang—two were dropped on a place that was living a good life. The temperature is 6,000 degrees Celsius. One of them can kill 80,000 to 90,000 people in an instant. Even the King of Hell can't handle it! Boiled water is only 100 degrees Celsius. If the Gods have this thing, we can't fight! Fight!"

Gu Chi: “…”

Chen Tang thought Gu Chi was frightened and kept muttering.

"Of course, this possibility is not great! But knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles! We must find out the details of the Gods' Association. I don't want to take the last step to unify the world and drop a bomb - totally unethical! I hope this won't happen, but I have a lot of talented people under my command. Once the bad luck DEBUFF is stacked, even the King of Hell is afraid! Speaking of which, if it is the second possibility, what happened before?"

Gu Chi raised his sleeves and yawned.

Chen Tang was still immersed in his own world and didn't notice.

After a while, Gong Xichou came.

He was shouting loudly before anyone even arrived.

"Mama, you're looking for me?"
