That was just one of Quinlan's strands of consciousness and did not carry all of his memories, so he only found Zeke familiar but couldn't remember him.
Zeke quickly recounted his encounters with the old beggar in detail. After listening, Quinlan scolded Zeke, “I remember now. Brat, I told you, you could only save us by using a High Dark Level divine weapon to slash the space. How could you make do with a Mid Dark Level divine weapon? Look what you've done now. Not only have you failed to save us, but you might have even alarmed Theos.”
Zeke hurriedly asked, “If Theos notices, will he be able to harm Lacey?”
What Zeke had always been worried about the most was that Theos would threaten him with Lacey.
Quinlan said, “You can rest assured. As long as Lacey and I are in that parallel universe, Theos cannot break the space to harm us, regardless of how capable he is. However, if I were to be sealed in that parallel universe for a lifetime, I'd rather be killed by Theos.”
Zeke sighed with relief. “It's fine as long as Theos cannot lay a finger on Lacey.” Then, he added, “Old beggar—”
Quinlan was displeased. “What did you call me? Why are you addressing me as an old beggar? You have no manners. My name is Quinlan Hayes, or you can call me Mr. Hayes.”
Zeke nodded. “All right. The reason I didn't use a High Dark Level divine weapon to slash the parallel universe is that I don't have a fire seed, so I can't forge a High Dark Level divine weapon.”
Quinlan said, “You don't have fire seeds? Are you stupid? You can just subdue a primordial beast. Those primordial beasts can provide you with spirit pills, which are essential materials for creating fire seeds.”
Zeke was overjoyed. “You can use spirit pills to create fire seeds? That's great!”
Quinlan waved his hand and said, “Hold on. Let me think about it carefully. Fire seeds don't seem to be created from spirit pills. It's been too long, and my memory is a little blurry. Oh, I remember now. When a primordial beast self-destructs its spirit pill, it can turn into a fire seed.”
