In that mont—was it just an instant, or an eternity? Pei Guang wasn't sure how much ti had passed. When he finally ca to his senses, he found himself looking at the Aeon of Rembrance, Fuli, standing before him.
"Alright then! As long as I can confirm that March's mories weren't tampered with by you guys, everything else is just details. Looking forward to our cooperation~"
The Aeon's appearance wasn't just about verifying the accuracy of the information—it was also an opportunity to establish a collaboration between Pei Guang and the Garden of Recollection.
For a mortal to cooperate with an Aeon might sound like pure fantasy to ordinary people, but for so Aeons, it was sothing they deeply envied. Aeons could observe Pei Guang's growth, but due to the constraints of their respective Paths, they couldn't take actions that violated those principles.
Just like Fuli, the Aeon of Rembrance—this ti, Their arrival was not only to confirm the authenticity of March 7th's past but also to use the Garden of Recollection as a ans to initiate a mory-based collaboration with Pei Guang.
Through this cooperation, the Aeon of Rembrance would dispatch a ssenger to enhance the special domain known as the Forgotten Hall. As part of this deal, the Forgotten Hall would now cater to Pei Guang's interests, generating a new instance every month, recreating a map from his mories—one from the gas he had played in the past.
Additionally, Fuli promised that each ti they recreated a part of Pei Guang's past ga worlds, they would grant him certain rewards.
The mont Pei Guang proposed this idea, Fuli imdiately agreed. After all, for the Aeon of Rembrance, it was pure profit. Originally, they had no way of accessing Pei Guang's past mories, but now, with his permission, they could recreate glimpses of entirely new experiences—mories that did not exist anywhere in this universe.
For an Aeon who presides over recollection, this was a treasure trove.
And for Pei Guang? It was a jackpot for him too!
He had long wanted to relive the gas from his past. While this world was interesting, there were monts of downti where the story dragged on, making Pei Guang feel a little bored.
But now? If he could recreate so of his old gas to experience again, he'd get both entertainnt and rewards—what a deal!
However, just as the Aeon of Rembrance was preparing to leave, Pei Guang suddenly rembered sothing. The mont he had that thought, Fuli imdiately disappeared.
Because they could sense exactly what Pei Guang intended to do—stab them in the backside with his wooden sword.
And because they genuinely believed that Pei Guang could stab them, despite them not even having a physical form, they fled as fast as possible.
Their agreent on the mory exchange had been sealed, and any potential enmity with Pei Guang had been successfully avoided. There was absolutely no reason to stick around.
After all, among all the Aeons, the only one who had truly made an enemy out of Pei Guang was Nanook. Sacrificing Nanook alone was more than enough—why should the rest of them suffer?
As for March 7th's mories? When the Aeon of Rembrance had attempted to grant them to Pei Guang, he had refused.
Because he couldn't accept the idea of knowing March 7th's past while keeping it from her. Rather than carrying the burden of truth alone, it was better not to know—better to explore her past together when the ti was right.
With that, Fuli departed.
Now, only the ssenger of the Garden of Recollection remained, gazing at Pei Guang.
"Trailblazer, do you believe now? We had no choice but to act this way…"
Pei Guang stretched lazily. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. You guys handle the rest yourselves. I'm heading out of the matrix. Gotta wait for March to wake up."
Without further ado, he exited the Matrix of Prescience Ultima. Staying any longer had no aning—better to wait for March 7th to wake up and explain everything to her directly.
As Pei Guang left, the ssenger of the Garden of Recollection took a deep breath.
After abandoning her physical body, this was the first ti she had truly felt fear.
The ssenger had no objections—after all, the one she followed had already settled things with Pei Guang. Now, all she needed to do was find March 7th, explain the truth to her, and tell her what she needed to do to truly reclaim her past.
Once that was done, her mission would be complete.
At the sa ti, she felt incredibly lucky—lucky that she had taken the ti to understand Pei Guang's personality beforehand, sparing herself from unnecessary suffering.
She knew very well that the wooden sword in Pei Guang's hand might look ordinary, but against ssengers like her, it was more than capable of tearing them apart effortlessly.
Pei Guang returned to reality. The mont he did, Stelle, who had been waiting all this ti, imdiately greeted him.
"Ah Guang? How'd it go?"
Pei Guang replied casually, "No problem. March is fine. But this ti… she won't be able to recover all of her mories. She will, however, uncover a bit of the reason why they were sealed away."
Hearing this, Stelle's expression turned a bit somber. "So, March still won't be able to fully rember her past?"
"That's right~ Based on my experience, this feels like a large-scale, multi-stage quest," Pei Guang explained. "She'll gradually uncover the truth, growing stronger bit by bit until she's ready to bear the weight of her past mories."
Stelle frowned. "Not even you, going in there yourself, could help her get everything back?"
Pei Guang shook his head. "Not yet. But I think I'm close, because—"
Before he could finish his sentence, March 7th suddenly opened her eyes inside the Matrix of Prescience Ultima. However, the dizziness from processing so much information overwheld her, and she shut them again.
Even so, she knew now wasn't the ti to rest. She rubbed her temples, then staggered over to Pei Guang and Stelle with an excited look on her face.
"Ah Guang! Stelle! I have great news—we hit the jackpot!"
March 7th still felt dizzy from absorbing so much mory data, but that didn't dampen her excitent in the slightest. She couldn't wait to share her discovery with them.
"I gotta tell you, we made so huge gains this ti! While searching for my mories, I actually t the Aeon of Rembrance. An Aeon! I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd et one!"
She took a breath and continued, her voice filled with exhilaration.
"And that's not even the craziest part! The craziest part is that the Aeon of Rembrance told my past holds a huge secret. Right now, if I were to regain all of my mories—oh yeah! The Aeon of Rembrance also said that even if I do get them back, they won't affect my present or future choices! They even encouraged , telling to keep growing stronger!"
She hesitated for a second, then added in a quieter voice, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Also, they gave two golden Light Cones~ But, um… let's check those out later when we're alone."
Her face turned a little red as she ntioned the Light Cones—probably because their designs were a bit embarrassing. With so many people around, she wasn't keen on revealing them just yet.
Even though March 7th desperately wanted to recover her past, she wasn't reckless. The fact that the Aeon of Rembrance personally appeared to explain things to her? That was an incredible honor.
She may not have fully regained her past this ti, but now she had a much clearer goal—to explore more planets, to grow stronger and stronger.
Because as long as she kept getting stronger—
She would find her past again.
