Looking at the note, Wu Qian was caught in an endless internal struggle. She knew Mo Mo was telling the truth, because the sunlight was shining directly on her, yet she didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she felt warm and comfortable. Just as she was agonizing over whether or not to go find Mo Mo, her sister Wu Yu let out a soft moan and woke up.
"That's right, since I can't decide, I'll just listen to my sister!" With that thought, she quickly helped her sister up and told her about her troubles.
"Xiaoqian, this is up to you. If you just want to live a peaceful life with me, then we don't need to go looking for him. If you have other ideas, then go looking for him. No matter what, your sister will be with you. You are my only family."
"Does it depend on me?" Wu Qian thought of the scenes where she was powerless to resist before, being bitten and turned into a zombie, being controlled by blood addiction and draining her parents' blood, and being easily subdued by Mo Mo. Thinking of this, a determined look appeared in Wu Qian's eyes, and she said, "Sister, let's go find him. You are my only family. I don't want to lose you again."
In fact, Mo Mo hadn't truly left. He was standing on the rooftop of the apartment building, and everything that happened in Wu Qian's room couldn't escape his eyes. When Wu Qian firmly said she wanted to find him, Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly. "Not bad. Only someone like you has the right to follow me. If you can understand the true meaning of love in this world, how about I give you a great opportunity?"
With that, Mo Mo took a step and disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 318 Eternal Kingdom
After leaving the apartment, Mo Mo wandered aimlessly around. However, the place was not very big, and almost all the characters from the story were gathered here, so Mo Mo had only been wandering around for half a day when he encountered the Human King Fuxi and Wanyan Bupo. However, what disappointed Mo Mo was that these three people, who represented the pinnacle of martial arts in the original story, were not very strong. They were only slightly stronger than the Wu Qian sisters, who had been strengthened by Mo Mo with Foundation Establishment Pills. What disappointed him even more was that they did not have any treasures that caught his eye.
After thinking about it, Mo Mo understood what was going on. After all, this TV series was filmed at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. At that time, the special effects technology was not as advanced as it is now. In addition, due to the influence of Western countries, although the plot was based on Chinese mythology, it had been completely changed. The power system even showed signs of leaning towards Western mythology, which made the overall power of the series unable to compare with the real myths and legends. Of course, it may also be due to the limitations of the times. If such a subject were written by people today, it would probably be possible to break through the Earth and go to the universe or even reach other universes in no time.
However, although the overall military strength of this world is not very good, it must be said that the humans of the previous cycle were really amazing. They were able to create the Pangu clan and even create the eternal kingdom, Kunlun. Mo Mo guessed that the human civilization of the previous era must have developed to a very high level, otherwise they would not have been able to mass-produce so many "gods". Each of these gods has the power to destroy the earth, that is, to destroy a planet. Although they had to pay a huge price to do so, it still cannot erase the amazingness of this technology.
After wandering around, Mo Mo suddenly remembered that at this point in time, Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou should be in the Land of Pangu, and it happened that the Holy Mother of Yaochi broke the seal, causing Tianyou to suffer from the virus. Afterwards, Ma Xiaoling would return to the Song Dynasty to save Tianyou and find Tianyou's past life, and the gears of fate would start turning again.
Thinking of this, Mo Mo's heart stirred, and he spread his powerful divine sense. Although Kunlun and Pangu were not on Earth but in another space, they were still connected to Earth. Moreover, according to Mo Mo's deduction, they should not be far from Earth. Besides, with Mo Mo's divine sense, it didn't matter if they were far away. If he really spread his divine sense with all his might, he could instantly cover most of the universe. Therefore, he quickly found the Eternal Kingdom. However, what surprised Mo Mo was that the Eternal Kingdom was not hidden in another space, but was floating directly in the spatial turbulence. In Mo Mo's divine sense, the Eternal Kingdom was like a lone boat on a great river, appearing and disappearing in the spatial turbulence. No wonder that even the biggest villain in this world, who controls the world's "fate," could not find it.
"Spatial turbulence, huh? For others, it's indeed an insurmountable chasm, but for me, it's just a small ditch, easily crossed in a single step." Having found the Eternal Kingdom, Mo Mo didn't linger. Spatial power emanated from his surroundings, and with a single step, he vanished from his spot, appearing the next second outside the spatial barrier of the Eternal Kingdom.
"I didn't expect this Eternal Kingdom to be so big. From a distance, it looked less than the size of a palm, but now that I'm closer, I realize it's quite large, at least comparable to the size of Earth. But why does it look like a ship?" Standing in front of the enormous spatial barrier, Mo Mo was somewhat puzzled. He had only found the Eternal Kingdom before withdrawing his divine sense and hadn't had the chance to observe it properly. But upon getting closer, he discovered that the Eternal Kingdom did resemble a ship by about seven or eight points. However, it was probably just a coincidence, so Mo Mo didn't delve into it and directly passed through the spatial barrier into the Eternal Kingdom.
The Eternal Kingdom remained completely unaffected by the external spatial turbulence. Its environment was exceptionally beautiful, rich in spiritual energy, and also contained a mysterious substance. Mo Mo had never seen this substance before; he first encountered it on the night the zombie that had attempted to ambush him upon his arrival in this world. Later, he also sensed this substance within Wu Qian and Wanyan Bupo, with Wanyan Bupo's concentration being significantly higher. He discovered that this substance was the reason for their immortality, explaining why anyone who entered Kunlun could achieve eternal life.
The concentration of this substance in the Eternal Kingdom is so high that if you stay here for a period of time, these mysterious substances will slowly integrate into your body, improving your physique and making you immortal. It's like a longevity substance; once the longevity substance in your body reaches a certain level, you can become an immortal. Perhaps this is an important raw material for them to create gods.
After entering the Eternal Kingdom, Mo Mo did not stay in one place for too long. In Mo Mo's divine sense, the secrets of the Eternal Kingdom were revealed, including the technology of creating gods and the technology of making this longevity substance, as well as the location where it was stored. The number of people living in the Eternal Kingdom was not large, or rather, not as many as Mo Mo had imagined. All of them combined were about the same as the population of a modern metropolis, and most of them lived together around a mountain.
A few minutes later, Mo Mo walked along the streets of this eternal kingdom city. It was clean, and the streets were paved with smooth bluestone, wide enough for two or three trucks to pass side by side. The pedestrians on the street were all calm and smiling, and very polite to everyone. It was a peaceful scene. Mo Mo walked around for a long time and did not find a single argument. Things that could easily cause a fight in the outside world seemed to be trivial matters here. An apology was all it took to get over it. Moreover, Mo Mo did not find a single shop or hotel along the way.
After wandering around, Mo Mo came to a conclusion: the people here are warm and hospitable, peaceful and uncontested, without jealousy, greed, comparison, or hatred. Of course, there is no love here either. It is peaceful and serene. Despite having a population of over a million, it is unusually quiet. If it weren't for the crowds coming and going on the streets, Mo Mo would have thought it was a ghost town.
"This is the Eternal Kingdom. There is indeed no strife or backstabbing here, but there is also no emotion. Without the seven emotions and six desires, without love, hate, and grudges, can people still be called human? They are just walking corpses. No wonder Zaijie in the original drama said that everyone yearns for Kunlun, but they are often the first to give up on Kunlun. It is too oppressive for those of them who still have emotions. What they want to find is not this kind of Kunlun, but just a pure land where they can live freely." Looking at those monotonous smiles, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Mo didn't want to stay in such a depressing place for even a moment longer, so he took a step forward and headed straight to the top of the mountain surrounded by the city, because the materials for creating gods were all placed there, and this was also the center of the entire Eternal Kingdom. They called this mountain the Holy Mountain, and the building on the top of the mountain was the temple, the place where the saintess and goddess lived.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 319 The Deal with the Goddess
According to the residents of the city at the foot of the mountain, a stunningly beautiful goddess resides on the sacred mountain. She was born with the kingdom and bears the heavy responsibility of maintaining its stability and security, ruling the kingdom. Every five hundred years, the kingdom selects a pure and beautiful girl to enter the sacred mountain to take care of the goddess's daily life. This chosen girl becomes the holy maiden of the entire kingdom. When a new holy maiden is chosen, the old holy maiden returns to the foot of the mountain to live with her original family. The current holy maiden was chosen a hundred years ago.
According to these residents, Mo Mo guessed that the goddess was either a human from the previous cycle or created by humans from the previous cycle to specifically manage and improve the Eternal Kingdom. Besides taking care of her daily life, the saintess probably had another function, which was to pass on the legacy. The goddess would probably test the saintess's character for a period of time before telling her some of the true secrets of the Eternal Kingdom, and then teach her some technologies passed down from the previous cycle to ensure that even if an accident occurred, the entire kingdom would not fall and be destroyed.
Mo Mo strolled leisurely towards the palace atop the sacred mountain, lost in thought. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a single palace, but a complex of palaces. Behind the main palace stretched over a dozen massive structures for hundreds of meters. These palaces were constructed with exquisite materials; though they appeared to be wood, they were actually made of a lightweight yet incredibly strong metal. The entire complex was interconnected, with massive underground structures containing immense energy. If Mo Mo wasn't mistaken, this entire palace complex was a colossal war machine, capable of easily destroying the entire Eternal Kingdom once activated. After all, it represented the culmination of humanity's efforts from the previous era.
However, the war machine was still asleep at this moment, and as the residents at the foot of the mountain said, there were only two people on the entire holy mountain, not even a single animal, making it exceptionally quiet, eerily quiet, like a ghost town, with no sound except for the wind.
The palace gates were not closed. The massive, twenty-meter-high doors stood silently open, like a wild beast with its mouth agape, ready to devour its prey. It's no wonder that although the people below the city held this place in high esteem, no one dared to visit it. Even though there was no rule against coming, the place was too eerie, like a ghost town. I guess no normal person would want to come here.
After passing the grand hall that resembled a city gate, Mo Mo finally entered the palace complex. Because Mo Mo deliberately concealed his aura, he appeared just like an ordinary person. Thus, in this vast palace complex, Mo Mo's footsteps carried for a very long distance. There was another reason why Mo Mo did this: he wanted to let the owner of this place know that he had arrived. Although he could easily empty the place without anyone noticing, the things here were not unclaimed. Furthermore, he had no grudge against the owner of this place, so he did not intend to take them directly, but rather to exchange them. Of course, if the other party was unwilling, he would not force them, but he would still scan the place with his divine sense before leaving.
The goddess and saintess, the owners of this place, reacted rather slowly. They only realized someone was there when Mo Mo arrived at their palace with his crisp footsteps. When the two came out, Mo Mo almost choked on his own saliva. The goddess was indeed as stunningly beautiful as the residents at the foot of the mountain had described, and she perfectly matched Mo Mo's aesthetic standards. She was beautiful with fair skin and incredibly long legs. The other woman was quite pure and lovely. But these were not what surprised Mo Mo. What surprised him was their attire. They were only wearing transparent gauze dresses, which perfectly showcased their figures.
The two were probably surprised by the sudden visit, especially since the visitor was a man. They paused for a moment when they saw Mo Mo, but made no attempt to hide their gazes from him. The mature, sexy, and charming woman then asked directly, "Are you a citizen of the area below the mountain? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to find humans from outside this country. I've come here to make a deal with you." Since the other party didn't care, Mo Mo was even less likely to care. Anyway, he wouldn't lose out, so he didn't say anything else and directly stated his purpose.
"Outside the realm? You come from the mortal world? No wonder you don't have the eternal particles. But since you're here, live well here. Everyone is equal here, and you can get what you want without trading. Alright, you can leave now." After the goddess finished speaking, she ignored Mo Mo and turned to return to the palace, completely treating Mo Mo as an ordinary person who had just entered the Eternal Kingdom.
Mo Mo could tell that the goddess had mistaken him for a new resident who had just entered the Eternal Kingdom, so he said, "I don't want to settle here. I came here to make a deal with you. I want your technology data on creating gods. Of course, if you have other technologies, we can exchange them together."
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, the goddess abruptly turned around, staring at Mo Mo with fierce eyes and saying, "Who are you? How do you know about creating gods? Did fate send you here?"
Mo Mo was not afraid of the goddess's fierce gaze. He smiled faintly and replied, "Who I am is not important, nor is how I know about the technology of creating gods. As for Destiny, I do not know him, and I can guarantee that I will not use this technology to cause harm. Moreover, if you are willing, I can go and capture Destiny now. Of course, as payment, I will copy the technology of creating gods."
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, the goddess and the saintess suddenly smiled. The goddess gracefully walked to Mo Mo's side, gently leaning against him and giggling, "Alright, now help me seize Destiny. But before that, you need to bring this. And if you can directly kill Destiny, not only will the god-creating technology be yours, but we two will be yours too." After saying this, the goddess gave Mo Mo a charming smile and gently kissed his cheek, leaving a pink lip print on his face. After the kiss, the goddess quickly left Mo Mo's side, looking at him with a charming smile.
Mo Mo looked at the two stunningly beautiful women opposite him, their smiles captivating. He then touched the lip print on his face, sensing a peculiar power emanating from it. If he wasn't mistaken, it was meant to counter fate. This made him look at the goddess with newfound respect. She wasn't just a pretty face; she was a woman of both courage and wisdom. Mo Mo believed that if he truly returned with fate, this woman would have a backup plan to seal fate and him away instantly. And if the power of the lip print on his face was erased, the goddess would probably transfer the Eternal Kingdom herself. So, whether Mo Mo was telling the truth or not, it wouldn't do her any harm.
Although he had been tricked, Mo Mo was not angry at all. Anyway, he hadn't lost anything, and this had achieved his purpose for coming here. So he smiled meaningfully and said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled. I will capture fate, and you will give me a copy of the god-making technology." For some reason, the goddess felt a little uncomfortable looking at the smile on Mo Mo's face, like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.

Chapter 320 The Goddess of Liberty
What is destiny? Destiny refers to a pattern formed by the combination of fixed and variable factors. In fact, fate and fortune are two different concepts. Fate is the fixed factor, referring to a specific object; fortune is the variable, referring to the transformation of time and space. The combination of fate and fortune is the process of a specific object transforming in time and space. When good fortune arrives, destiny also changes. This good fortune is what is called the variable. The unchangeable past and the uncontrollable future are called destiny.
However, the concept of fate has a long history, with various schools of thought offering different perspectives. After summarizing the views of many schools, one conclusion has been reached: fate is the trajectory of all things from birth to death, which has been completely predetermined by the laws of the universe.
In the zombie world, destiny is a consciousness born from the Heavenly Book, which records the fate of humanity in every eon, from the beginning of heaven and earth to the end of the world, in minute detail, unalterable and unchangeable. The Earthly Book can control all things in the universe and change world events, but it cannot alter everything recorded in the Heavenly Book. However, although the Heavenly and Earthly Books are powerful, neither can change human free will, nor can they make those who are destined to be apart fall in love. As for the Human Book, it is what we call opportunity, or variable.
After the Heavenly Book gained consciousness, it silently watched the cycle of birth and death in the human world under the arrangement of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Until one day, it began to lose faith in the human world, so it manipulated the power of the Heavenly Book to begin destroying the world, destroying one era after another in order to find the perfect human in its mind. In other words, if Mo Mo wanted to grasp destiny, he only needed to seal the Heavenly Book. The Pangu people in the zombie world naturally knew this, but the power of the Heavenly Book was too great for them to match. Moreover, as long as the Heavenly Book was not destroyed, they could not do anything to destiny. However, the Heavenly Book was related to the survival of the entire world. Therefore, the Pangu people in the original story came up with the idea of creating a perfect vessel (the Holy Mother) to lure destiny away from the Heavenly Book and merge with this vessel. Then, as long as they destroyed this vessel, that is, killed the Holy Mother, they could kill destiny.
However, Mo Mo doesn't need to go through such trouble. No matter how powerful Fate is, it's just a spirit to Mo Mo. Just because Kuang Tianyou and the others can't do anything about Fate doesn't mean Mo Mo can't. Although this spirit is powerful, it is still just a spirit. And to deal with a spirit, let alone Mo Mo, any cultivator with the means to deal with spirits can erase its intelligence.
Under the watchful eyes of the goddess and the saintess, Mo Mo smiled slightly at them. His right hand surged with spatial power, and then he stretched out his right hand, which was covered by spatial power. Then, his right hand reached into the void in front of him, as if it had been cut off. Before the two could exclaim in surprise, Mo Mo withdrew his hand. At this moment, he was holding an ancient and unadorned book engraved with many mysterious patterns.
Mo Mo casually glanced at the book in his hand and then tossed it to the somewhat dumbfounded goddess, saying, "I've brought you the Heavenly Book. Destiny is sealed inside. You can take a look, but it's best not to try to break the seal. Otherwise, if Destiny escapes and I have to take action again, I'll have to pay you."
Mo Mo's words successfully brought the goddess and the saintess beside her back to their senses. With a light wave of her hand, she placed layer upon layer of seals on the celestial book in her hand, the most powerful of which contained the same energy as the lip print on Mo Mo's face. Only after the last seal was placed did the goddess begin to carefully examine the celestial book in her hand.
This left them no choice but to be careful. They didn't possess Mo Mo's strength. If, as Mo Mo claimed, this was truly a Heavenly Book, and if destiny was indeed sealed within it, then doubling the seals wouldn't be an exaggeration. Her understanding of destiny far surpassed that of humanity in this era. She knew the terrifying nature of destiny; a slight misstep could allow destiny to escape, and if destiny did escape, the entire Eternal Kingdom could be destroyed in an instant.
The goddess carefully examined the celestial book in her hands, and the longer she looked at it, the more horrified she became. What horrified her wasn't the book itself, but Mo Mo, who had given it to her. In truth, she had confirmed the book's authenticity the moment she received it, but that was precisely why she was so horrified.
The people of the previous era tried their best but failed to capture the Heavenly Book. Yu Ze of the previous era spent millions of years researching and cultivating here before finally developing some means to resist fate. The Pangu clan, who were perfect humans and had inherited the civilization of the previous era, were also helpless against fate. That's why they thought of luring fate into the body of the Holy Mother and then destroying it. But Mo Mo sealed the Heavenly Book with ease, and he did it across endless space. Even if he had sealed the Heavenly Book beforehand, just taking it out now was enough to shock her. The more she thought about it, the more horrified she became.
After a long while, the goddess finally recovered and, suppressing the shock in her heart, said, "This heavenly book is indeed real, and it does indeed seal destiny within it. Forgive my rudeness, but could you please tell me how you did it? And do you really just want the technology to create gods?" Even the goddess herself did not realize that her tone was trembling, and her words were filled with reverence.
Mo Mo sensed the worry in her voice, so he smiled and replied, "It's just some spatial manipulation. And you don't need to worry. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just want to see your technology. I have no other thoughts, so you can rest assured."
Looking at Mo Mo's smiling face, the goddess and the saintess couldn't help but grumble in their hearts, "How can we not worry about you when you are so powerful? If you really want to attack us, we will be completely defenseless and have no way to fight back."
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Mo Mo knew that they did not believe him, so he continued, "It's no use worrying. With my strength, if I were to do something to you, you would be powerless to resist, even with the fortress you are relying on. The reason I am willing to trade with you is because I have no grudge against you, and you are not particularly evil. Otherwise, I could have just robbed you."
Although she didn't want to admit it, the goddess had to acknowledge that what Mo Mo said was indeed true. Given the strength Mo Mo had just displayed, they would have been powerless to resist if he really wanted to forcibly take it from them. Moreover, Mo Mo had indeed handed over the Heavenly Book to them as she had requested. Thinking of this, the goddess readily returned the Heavenly Book to Mo Mo and said, "Please erase the destiny within the Heavenly Book. As long as you can erase destiny, the entire Eternal Kingdom will be yours, including us."
Mo Mo glanced at the woman in surprise. He hadn't expected her to make such a decision so quickly. However, the fact that she would give up the entire Eternal Kingdom to Mo Mo in order to eliminate Fate puzzled him. So he asked, "Eliminating Fate is simple. He's just a spirit. Why are you willing to pay such a high price? This is the culmination of the previous era's efforts."
Having already made her decision, the goddess decided to hold nothing back and said, "My primary mission is to ensure the eternal existence of the Eternal Kingdom and to find an eternal paradise. But above this mission, there is another mission that transcends it: if we can eliminate fate while preserving the flame, I will spare no effort, even at the cost of everything. The hatred of extermination is irreconcilable."
Upon hearing this, Mo Mo understood. The previous era had been destroyed by fate, but now she had the opportunity to destroy fate. Naturally, she was willing to give up everything. After all, they had long since perished, and what remained was only a part of their civilization. Giving it up was no big deal.
After figuring out the key to the matter, Mo Mo reached out and touched the Heavenly Book. The Destiny, which had destroyed countless eras and was sealed away, vanished without a sound. After confirming that Destiny had indeed disappeared, the goddess suddenly squatted down, hugged her head, and cried bitterly, "Destiny, you are finally dead. Your revenge has finally been taken. My mission has finally been completed. I am free. From now on, I will no longer be bound by this country. I am finally free."
Looking at the goddess who was squatting on the ground, crying tears of joy and completely unaware that she had just exposed herself, and the saintess Mo Mo who was standing there dumbfounded, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh to himself, "Looks like another pitiful person bound by hatred!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 321 The Goddess's Decision
After a long while, the alluring goddess finally stopped sobbing, wiped away the tears of joy from her face, and bowed deeply to Mo Mo, saying, "You have destroyed the fate that manipulates all things in the world and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of my clan for millions of years. According to the oath of my ancestors, this eternal kingdom is now yours, and as long as you do not interfere excessively with this kingdom, it will belong to you forever. I have completed my mission and will become a free man from now on. Everything here is no longer related to me."
Mo Mo stroked his chin, realizing that what the woman said was indeed true. However, this was also the setting in the original drama. But who would complain about such a good thing? So Mo Mo unceremoniously moved all the stored data to his storage space. Moreover, Mo Mo discovered that there were a large number of eternal particle crystals beneath this holy mountain. Although Mo Mo did not need to use these things to achieve immortality, and these particles had the great side effect of turning the host into a zombie, Mo Mo disdained to use these crystals to create a god. However, Mo Mo discovered that as long as he did not inhale these particles into his body, they would be a very pure energy source. Just a piece of crystal the size of a finger, after conversion, could provide enough electricity for a large city to use at full power for a year.
However, he was not interested in this eternal kingdom, because he could have as many small worlds as he wanted. So he said to the two women, "There are indeed some things here that I need, but I am not interested in this kingdom. I will leave after I get what I want, so if you want to leave, you should arrange for someone to take your place as soon as possible."
The goddess was momentarily stunned by Mo Mo's unexpected remark. However, upon considering Mo Mo's strength, she realized her mistake. She herself didn't want to be trapped in this kingdom, let alone someone as powerful as Mo Mo. At that moment, a bold idea flashed through her mind: "Since I'm going to go out and see the world, why not follow this mysterious expert? With his strength, I'm sure I'll see many different sights by his side. Moreover, with his protection, my safety will be greatly guaranteed. After all, there might be two or three experts as powerful as him, and with his protection, I won't need to worry about my safety. And perhaps my strength can even improve further?"
.
Once the thought took hold, she couldn't calm down any longer. After arranging Mo Mo's accommodation and issuing the summons, she couldn't hold back any longer. She gritted her teeth and headed towards Mo Mo's residence. "Anyway, my mission is complete. I don't know what to do next. Besides, I have nothing left to lose except my life and this beautiful appearance. I might as well take a gamble."
When the goddess knocked on Mo Mo's door, he was reading documents from an era in this world, bathed in sunlight streaming through the window. As he had predicted, the previous era had indeed reached a remarkably high level of civilization, with technology and magic advancing in tandem. This Eternal Kingdom was their greatest intellectual achievement. Mo Mo was looking at technical materials—the blueprints for a spaceship capable of interstellar travel. Unfortunately, building it would be difficult, as he lacked many of the necessary materials, and substituting them was not worthwhile. Furthermore, Mo Mo didn't need them, so although he was looking at them, he didn't intend to build it. Among the documents Mo Mo had taken, there were many similar items, but very few related to weaponry. The only one that caught his eye was the design blueprint for a planet-destroying cannon.
Hearing the knock on the door, Mo Mo did not put down the documents in his hand. He simply said, "The door is unlocked, please come in," and then continued reading his documents.
When the goddess came to Mo Mo's side, she saw that Mo Mo was looking at documents. She did not disturb him, but stood quietly behind him. Mo Mo did not put down the documents. So the room became quiet, with only the sound of Mo Mo turning the pages of the documents.
A dozen minutes later, Mo Mo finally put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and carefully examined the beautiful goddess. Facing Mo Mo's gaze, even though she was now dressed in solemn finery, she felt as if she had been seen through. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Mo Mo suddenly asked, "It seems we haven't introduced each other yet. Can you tell me your name?"
The goddess was taken aback when Mo Mo suddenly asked such a question after scrutinizing her from head to toe. She was momentarily stunned and hesitated for a couple of seconds before hurriedly replying, "When I woke up, I found myself in the Eternal Kingdom. And it's kind of funny, I was given such a great mission, but they didn't give me a name, and I didn't know what to call myself, so I never gave myself a name. Later, many people gradually came to this kingdom, and they all called me Goddess, so I got the title of Goddess. As for a name, I haven't chosen one yet."
The goddess looked somewhat downcast, but after a pause, she suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you give me a name? Also, I don't know your name yet."
"My name is Mo Mo, also known as Wang Chen. You can call me Mo Mo or Wang Chen. As for your given name, since our first meeting was the moment of your liberation, how about you be called Chu Chen?" Mo Mo hadn't expected this woman to be nameless and even ask him to name her. However, Mo Mo was in a good mood, so he didn't refuse and gave her the name Chu Chen.
"Chu means first meeting, and Chen means the time when the sun rises. The first meeting is like the rising sun. I like this name. From now on, I will be called Chu Chen. Since you have given me a name, I wonder if I can travel with you to explore the world?" Chu Chen was very happy to be named by Mo Mo, and then suddenly revealed the purpose of her visit.
"Travel the world with me? It's not that I look down on you, but with your current strength, you're not qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with me. You're not even good enough to be my follower." Mo Mo said this quite calmly, without any intention of looking down on Chu Chen. It was as if he was simply stating a fact. And what Mo Mo said was indeed a fact. If Chu Chen were to follow Mo Mo without his protection, he might be swept away by spatial turbulence as soon as he left the Eternal Kingdom. If he was lucky, he would be severely injured and on the verge of death; if he was unlucky, he would probably be annihilated on the spot.
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, Chu Chen's face turned pale instantly. She had thought that Mo Mo's strength would be very high, and there was indeed a gap between her and Mo Mo, but she did not expect the gap to be so huge. She did not question Mo Mo's words, because Mo Mo had no reason to lie to her.
After a moment's thought, Chu Chen suddenly gritted her teeth, knelt before Mo Mo, and said with unwavering determination, "I am willing to become your maid and follow you closely. Please do not refuse." With that, Chu Chen kowtowed heavily. This wasn't out of shame; rather, she had a strong intuition that following Mo Mo would be a tremendous opportunity, and missing it would be a lifelong regret. Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman, also dressed in magnificent attire, entered through the door, uttered the exact same words as Chu Chen, and also knelt before Mo Mo.
Mo Mo was somewhat troubled as he looked at the two stunningly beautiful women before him. Although both women were very pretty and quite intelligent, Mo Mo didn't want to take them in for no reason. After all, they had only met today, and he wasn't familiar with them. Just then, a flash of light appeared beside Mo Mo, and a beautiful figure dressed in a maid's outfit suddenly appeared. As soon as she appeared, she hugged Mo Mo's hand and said in a sweet voice, "Master, please take them in. Even if you don't pity them, you should at least pity me. Although I have the Shadow Clone Technique, you've planted so many things, and I can't manage them all by myself. Please take them in and let them help me."
Seeing the pitiful Kaguya, Mo Mo's heart softened. He had indeed planted many things in his personal world, and it was quite difficult for Kaguya to manage them all. Chu Chen and the saintess exchanged glances and suddenly hugged Mo Mo's legs, looking at him pitifully. In the end, Mo Mo accepted them. The two still had some things to take care of before they could leave, so they would stay here for a couple more days. Mo Mo also planned to explore the Eternal Kingdom during these two days and see if there were any good things to take with him.

Chapter 322 Return to Earth
Three days later, the palace of the Eternal Kingdom suddenly became lively. The palace, which was usually deserted, was now filled with many beautiful women. These women gathered in twos and threes, chatting about their favorite topics. At the very center of these palaces, an even more magnificent palace had its doors tightly closed, and these chatting women would occasionally look towards the closed doors.
Inside the gate, two stunningly beautiful figures were looking at a large pile of wooden slips with troubled expressions. These slips bore the names of the women waiting outside. These women were none other than the former Holy Maidens who had stepped down from their posts. Chu Chen and Chu Jian (the names the Holy Maidens had given themselves) were agonizing over who should be chosen to govern the kingdom after their departure. In contrast, not far from them, a young man was leisurely drinking tea, cracking melon seeds, and casually flipping through documents in his hands.
"Wangchen, can you give us some advice? I'm so frustrated. They've voted and shortlisted six candidates. From my observation and past understanding, they're all good, and each has their own strengths. I'm having a really hard time choosing." Chuchen was really struggling to decide when she suddenly remembered Mo Mo and, on a whim, handed the problem over to him.
Hearing Chu Chen's words, Mo Mo turned to look at her and smiled, saying, "Are you sure you want me to make the decision?"
