Fuxi, Rocher, Hilario, and the others looked at each other.
It was hard for them to believe that they were still alive.
The Snake Goddess' eyes were full of doubt. She looked into the distance and said with a trembling voice, "Has the Wall World disappeared? No, have all the things in the world disappeared?"
The space outside the fairy palace was empty. There was nothing left.
This was not normal. They didn't even think this was possible.
When downgrading happened, it would destroy everything in the physical realm, but its energy and materials would remain. They would not even be lost in the slightest.
But now, even the Wall World had disappeared.
The Snake Goddess looked around and asked, "Where is Zen? Is Zen missing?"
When the others heard her say this, they all quickly began to search for Zen. He, however, was nowhere to be found.
"Wait, is this Zen's theurgy?"
"Did he save the fairy palace?"
"But how could he have done it? That's almost impossible. How could he have stopped the downgrading?"
"…"
They all made their guesses on how Zen disappeared or where Zen had gone, but at the end of the day, they were dumbfounded. They had no true clue where he was.
Buzz!
While everyone continued to search for him or speculate on his disappearance, his figure began to condense in the fairy palace.
"Dad!"
"Zen!"
"Zen!"
"What happened?"
"Did you stop the downgrading?"
Geoffrey, Rocher, the Snake Goddess, Mike, and the others ran to him immediately. They had never heard of or encountered a situation like this before. What was happening was truly incomprehensible to them.
Zen looked at them with a trace of warmth flowing from the bottom of his heart. "No, I didn't stop the downgrading. The downgrading has been completed."
"The downgrading has been completed?" Geoffrey looked puzzled. "But how could it have been completed? We're not dead..."
The Snake Goddess raised her eyebrows and said, "Zen, have we died already? Have we just managed to come back to life again?"
Zen gave the Snake Goddess a thumbs up. "You're right," he said.
"Are we in the underworld?" Geoffrey asked, his eyes wide open in shock.
Zen reached his hand out and gently stroked Geoffrey's body. When he did this, Geoffrey's tall body shrank back to its normal size. He rubbed Geoffrey's head and smiled. "Son, there is no underworld in this world. This is a brand new world. I recreated you all with the help of Clarence's memories."
Geoffrey blinked his eyes in disbelief. He quickly looked down at his body. "I was created with memories. Does that mean I'm fake? Am I not the real Geoffrey anymore, Dad?"
"Ha-ha..." Zen laughed, amused by his son's words. The others, however, didn't laugh with him. The truth was they also had the same worry in their hearts. To be fair, Zen also had this worry in him before. He was also afraid he was just in an illusory world.
"Everyone, don't worry," Zen sighed, trying to comfort them. He began to explain it in detail, "When the energy is arranged according to the original pattern, the substance it forms is the same as the past one. This is an absolute reality. If ice melted but condensed back again into ice, wouldn't it still be the ice it was before?"
The Snake Goddess was the first to understand. "Do you mean to say that we did die, but since you have all the memories of the whole world, you were able to restore us using those memories?"
"Yes!" Zen nodded.
"But why is it that you could only restore the fairy palace?" the Snake Goddess asked.
"Well, that's not true. I can restore everything to its original state with the help of the memories, and I'll do it soon,"
Zen assured them. With a gentle wave of his hand, the black ship, which was not far from the fairy palace, was restored.
The Grandmaster of Heaven, Shera, the former captain, and Edna were also reborn with it.
"We... We're alive?"
