The last thing was resolved. Zhao Ruoming whistled and returned to the trial space in a happy mood to settle accounts with the systems.

Regarding Zhao Ruoming's forcible scaring off of Feng Liuxue, the Great Supervisory Organization tacitly adopted the measure of turning a blind eye. Who said that advanced civilizations can't smooth things over? If you don't smooth things over, you'll move bricks for us?

"Ms. Zhao Ruoming, thank you for your contribution to us." The system sent by the Great Supervision Organization to negotiate with Zhao Ruoming this time was Xiaolu, after all, Xiaolu had more experience in negotiations. "Where are you going to go in the future? We will provide all possible support."

"Tell me about it." Zhao Ruoming asked with interest, "What are my options?"

"The first option is of course to go home." Xiaolu said, "We will send you back to your home on Earth. We will give you a huge amount of wealth, which you can't spend even in ten lifetimes on Earth. We collected this wealth out of our own pockets, so you don't have to worry about where it came from."

"What about the identity issue?" Zhao Ruoming said slowly.

Xiaolu said: "We will also solve this. Although we cannot interfere in the affairs of the Earth, it is no problem for us to get you a legal ID card and a legal source of assets."

Xiaolu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go back two years like François did..."

Xiaolu gritted his teeth and calculated the remaining assets of the Great Supervisory Organization, and said with a bitter face: "Maybe we need to wait a little longer until everyone has saved enough money."

The reserves of the Book Department have been emptied. Although the Great Supervisory Organization has a high status and a prestigious reputation, it is actually quite honest and will not accept bribes. The only source of income is the supervisory trial mission. It is far less generous than those who do all kinds of missions.

If you still want money, you have to ask for money from the higher-ups. If you ask for money from the higher-ups, you can no longer hide the world's problems.

Fearing that Zhao Ruoming would have a grudge, Xiaolu hurriedly said, "You don't have to wait too long. It will probably only take half a year."

"If I go back two years, would I lose all my memories like François?" Zhao Ruoming suddenly asked.

"Of course." Xiaolu said, "There are no exceptions to this. This is not a technical issue, but a rule."

"Regulation?"

Xiaolu nodded, "Yes. Earth is not under the jurisdiction of the Vientiane Universe. For safety reasons, all people who return to Earth from the Vientiane Universe to settle down must have their memories erased. This applies not only to illegal time travelers, but also to legal retirees."

Zhao Ruoming keenly captured the key words: "If settlers are not allowed, what about travelers?"

"For travelers, they just need to sign a confidentiality agreement. However, the duration of a trip cannot exceed one year." Xiaolu replied.

Zhao Ruoming nodded and asked another question: "Xiaolu, why is the big supervision organization so anxious this time? Would you rather pay out of your own pocket to settle the account?"

When Xiaolu mentioned this, his tone suddenly became more painful: "The performance review of the Wanxiang Universe, which is held once every three years, is coming. The results of the review will be reviewed remotely by the God of Creation. This area is under the responsibility of the 999 of us. Whether it is achievement or disaster, we will bear it together."

Even if he became a system, he could not escape the fate of being assessed. Zhao Ruoming patted Xiaolu sympathetically.

"I have never asked you, what kind of god is the God of Creation?"

Xiaolu stood at attention for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In fact, we have never seen her. We only know that she planned the entire universe...but all her orders can be directly issued to us through the system. She is omnipotent, but she doesn't take charge of things."

Zhao Ruoming understood: He has the ability, but he is showing off.

"So where is she now?" Zhao Ruoming asked curiously.

"She should be in the depths of the universe," Xiaolu said uncertainly, "She heard that another god appeared in the depths of the universe, so she went to look for him. She's been there for almost fifty years, and there's still no news."

The creator god is a hands-off boss, this is the consensus of the entire system. The universe is managed by her like she is herding sheep, and she has not fallen apart. It is really a miracle of freedom!

Zhao Ruoming was still very interested in this kind of gossip: "Another god? Aren't gods born naturally?"

"I don't know about that." Xiaolu shook the ball. "I vaguely heard rumors from the depths of the universe that the newly emerged god is a figure greater than the universe - but who knows? The universe is too big, and people can only rely on luck when they meet each other."

Zhao Ruoming stared at Xiaolu for a while, which made Xiaolu's system core frightened: "Godfather, why are you looking at me?"

Zhao Ruoming took a sip of the juice Xiaolu offered him and asked, "What is the deepest part of the universe?"

Xiaolu said vigilantly, "You don't want to go there, do you? The depths of the universe are very dangerous. Although the rewards for completing tasks there are generous, there are all kinds of worlds, some of which are beyond your imagination - only a very small number of strong people and gods dare to go there."

Zhao Ruoming didn't say anything, so Xiaolu tried to persuade him, "Foster father - Ms. Zhao Ruoming, Grandma! I've been to the depths of the universe once! Do you know how dangerous it is there? A high-level system like me was grabbed by a Mahayana cultivator and thrown into the furnace! If Black and Silver hadn't fished me out, I would be a magic weapon now!"

Xiaolu spoke earnestly, and Zhao Ruoming's expression relaxed a bit: "Look how scared you are. I was just asking casually."

While they were talking, 203 suddenly reminded: "Host, someone wants to see you."

"Huh?" Zhao Ruoming was a little surprised. "This is the trial space. Who can come in and visit me?"

As he was talking, the door in the void was pushed open. A man with gray hair walked in. He was tall, elegant, and dressed in clothes that were neither new nor old. He walked with great vigor.

Zhao Ruoming stared at the other person for a long time. She was sure that she had never seen this person before. Who is this?

The gray-haired man walked up to Zhao Ruoming and bowed to him straight away.

Zhao Ruoming felt strange and didn't touch the man. After the man raised his head, Zhao Ruoming called out tentatively, "Duan Hongji?"

The man was slightly stunned, then praised: "Miss Zhao is indeed a heroine."

"It's you." Zhao Ruoming said with a fake smile, "How did you get here?"

Duan Hongji said calmly: "I donated an office building to the Great Supervision Organization."

"Oh————" Zhao Ruoming stretched out his tone, turned his head to look at Xiaolu, and said with a smile: "Donation."

Xiaolu remained unmoved, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, and he said nothing.

"There's nothing strange about this, Miss Zhao." Duan Hongji pulled a chair for Zhao Ruoming and asked her to sit down. "Where there are people, there is privacy. Please take a seat."

Duan Hongji looked quite polite, and he would not hit a smiling person. Zhao Ruoming sat down and looked at him with an eye that showed he was enjoying a good show.

"You're rich again?" Zhao Ruoming asked jokingly.

"I just did a small insignificant business in the universe." Duan Hongji said modestly. He took out plate after plate of snacks from his personal space and placed them in front of Zhao Ruoming one by one.

"Why did you come to see me? To ask about the latest news of your three sons and baby Yi Yi?" Zhao Ruoming said with a smile.

Duan Hongji was stunned: "They? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Are they still alive?"

Zhao Ruoming: “.”

"Look! Look!" Zhao Ruoming said to 203, "If I had such a heart of stone, I would succeed in everything I do!"

"Of course they are alive." Zhao Ruoming picked up a piece of dessert with the word "Duan" written on it in syrup. "If you are not here for them, then who are you here for?"

"I came here specially to thank you." Duan Hongji's expression was much more serious than before. "Although I can never go back to the Duan family, I still want to thank you for saving the Duan family."

The snack tasted good. Zhao Ruoming swallowed it in one gulp, brushed off the leftovers and crumbs on his hands and said, "Huh?"

Duan Hongji said, "Do you think that I ran away because I spent 3.3 billion 15.42 million to marry Jiang Chunyi?"

Zhao Ruoming had to correct her: "Jiang Huiyi. Jiang-Hui-Yi. Tell me, why did you leave?"

"Oh oh." Duan Hongji quickly changed his words, "When I realized that I spent 3.3 billion to marry Jiang Huiyi, although my heart was broken, I didn't completely collapse. Money can be regained if I spend a few hundred million. I can earn it back ten or a hundred times."

No matter how ruthless Duan Hongji was, his courage was still admirable. Zhao Ruoming sat up straight, his expression more serious: "What's going on?"

Duan Hongji said helplessly: "When the world cracked open, I saw the entire future of the Duan family. Do you know? The fight between Duan Ye and Duan Jizhi is not the finale.

“Duan’s true ending was several times more tragic than what was described in the book.

"In the words of the young people, Duan Ye has turned evil, and you know that. That guy doesn't have much ability, and his evil turn won't cause any waves.

"But what you don't know is that Duan Chengfang has also turned evil."

"???" Zhao Ruoming really didn't know about this. Duan Chengfang? That good son?

Duan Hongji said, "That's right. You would never imagine that my second son is also a leading actor. And he is a rare evil leading actor. After I died, he hated the whole world."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Ruoming suddenly asked, "Isn't the heroine of Duan Chengfang's book Di Hanxin?"

"You are really smart." Duan Hongji laughed and said, "That's right. After I died, Duan Chengfang sold himself to the Di family as a son-in-law - it's nothing, as long as the benefits are enough, I don't care about him as a son-in-law."

"But he should never join hands with the Di family to swallow up the Duan family!" Duan Hongji's eyes and eyebrows flowed with hatred, "This idiot! After the Di family swallowed up the Duan family, I thought he would swallow up the Di family again and change the name back to the Duan family, then I can rest in peace..."

"——I didn't expect that he would commit suicide! How stupid!"

Two years later, Duan Hongji was still furious when he mentioned this incident: "My three sons are all idiots! I've had enough. I can lose 3.3 billion, I can lose one son, two sons, or even all my sons. I don't even care about the green hat piled high as a floor on my head! But the Duan family - the Duan family is my years of hard work, the Duan family is my real child. Alas!"

Zhao Ruoming did not interrupt Duan Hongji. It was obvious that this future had left a deep psychological shadow on Duan Hongji.

Duan Hongji calmed down a bit and sneered, "After I saw this future, I was disheartened. All three sons are hopeless fools. The Duan family is doomed. I didn't want to see the end of the Duan family, so I ran away."

The 3.3 billion, the cuckold, and the love-brained, all failed to defeat Duan Hongji. Only when he saw that the Duan Group was named after the God, did Duan Hongji really give up.

How can people care about what happens after death? Run away! Leave this stupid world!

It turns out that there is such a hidden reason behind Duan Hongji's escape. Zhao Ruoming nodded, "Then why are you here to thank me again?"

Duan Hongji resumed his business smile: "After I came to Wanxiang Universe, I started to work hard. After two years of hard work, my career finally got a little better. At this time, I thought of my Duan Shi again, and wanted to know how she was doing."

Duan Group is the apple of Duan Hongji's eye. Even though he has already fled, Duan Hongji is still obsessed with it.

"I spent some money -" Duan Hongji stretched out his fingers and twisted them slightly, indicating that the little bit of money was indeed "just a little bit", "and went to ask the fortune teller of Wanxiang Universe about the future of Duan Group. She answered me, 'With the help of noble people, Duan Group is thriving and will not be overturned or swallowed up in the next two hundred years.'

"I was so overjoyed that I asked her, 'Who is the noble lady?'

"The fortune teller replied: 'The sun and the moon are vast.'"

No wonder Duan Hongji was deceived by antique dealers into buying so many fake antiques. He actually believed in metaphysics in this technological age!

Duan Hongji poured Zhao Ruoming a cup of tea. "I asked around, spent a little money and connections - and finally found out your whereabouts. After some effort, I showed up here."

Zhao Ruoming was really impressed by Duan Hongji.

"No matter what," Duan Hongji said, "you saved the Duan family. I should come and thank you."

Zhao Ruoming interrupted him: "Then why did you ask 'Are they still alive' just now?"

Duan Hongji was stunned, and then he made a well-reasoned analysis: "It's not hard to guess - the existence of my three sons and Jiang Huiyi will only hinder the growth of the Duan family. If we don't get rid of them, how can the Duan family continue for 200 years?"

According to Duan Hongji's thinking, the three Duan brothers and Jiang Huiyi are all hopeless. It is impossible to solve their problems, so it is more cost-effective to solve them.

Zhao Ruoming: . . .

203: . . .

Zhao Ruoming really had nothing to say to this god. After meeting Di Wanshu, Zhao Ruoming rarely felt speechless to others. But today, Duan Hongji did it.

Zhao Ruoming was silent for a moment, then patted Duan Hongji on the shoulder and said, "Although you may not care, they are doing well. They are not dead, they are not evil, and they have not committed suicide."

"That's good too." Duan Hongji exclaimed, "This news is the icing on the cake. It seems that you are more resourceful than I thought."

There is a famous emoticon in Zhao Ruoming's hometown. It is probably a female star holding a bag of Liuliumei in her hand, with a drop of soybean sweat on her forehead, and the caption says: Are you okay?

Zhao Ruoming now really wants to send that emoticon to Duan Hongji.

Duan Hongji saw that Zhao Ruoming was no longer interested in chatting with him, so he stood up tactfully and bowed to Zhao Ruoming sincerely again: "Thank you in any case."

Zhao Ruoming looked at Duan Hongji coldly, and suddenly asked: "If you have the opportunity to go home now, will you go back?"

Duan Hongji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head frankly: "If it was at the beginning of my career, I might choose to go back. But not now."

"Why?" Zhao Ruoming stared at the other person.

"Maybe it's because... I've seen the splendor and magnificence of the universe - of course, there are countless dirty things. But splendor and magnificence are still its main themes." Duan Hongji looked at the Milky Way in the distance, "I'm too insignificant. I've only seen a corner of the universe, and I can't bear to leave."

Zhao Ruoming followed Duan Hongji's gaze and saw the Milky Way flowing like a stream. This was a bigger world.

"I already know the future of the Duan family. I have no concerns about that world anymore." Duan Hongji murmured, "I want to establish a Duan family group in the universe again. Wherever the Wanxiang Universe can reach, there will be Duan family landmarks."

For a moment, Duan Hongji was so immersed in his brilliant fantasy that he almost forgot the existence of Zhao Ruoming.

"The universe is too big." Duan Hongji came back to his senses and sighed without any context, "and life is too short."

"You really are a bloodthirsty old crocodile." Zhao Ruoming said in a cold tone, not sure whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.

Duan Hongji smiled: "I once imagined what you looked like. But after meeting you, I found that we are just the same people."

"Are you and I the same person?" Zhao Ruoming seemed to have heard a joke.

"Of course our careers are different," Duan Hongji said with an elegant smile, "We are just pursuing the same thing and will not give up until we die."

"Old rascal." Zhao Ruoming cursed inwardly.

"Are you cursing me in your heart?" Duan Hongji said happily, "Your eyes have betrayed you - it's a pleasure to chat with you. Miss Zhao Ruoming, I think we will meet again in the future."

Having said this, the merchant quickly left, busy with his business.

Zhao Ruoming stared at the other person's back and suddenly asked, "Xiaolu, where can I see the Earth?"

Xiaolu, who had been as quiet as a chicken and pretending to be dead, finally spoke up: "I'll take you there."
