After being electrocuted, Shaun felt dizzy. What was worse was that it was very difficult for him to breathe. He felt like he was about to die at any moment.
The electric shock from the Rong family was clearly different from ordinary electric shocks.
Rong Huangde glared at Shaun. “You b*stard, you only know how to hide in the dark. Die in pain. You’re not worthy of taking the antidote.”
Shaun hurriedly asked Jordan for help. “Deity Jordan, you have the Mirakuru serum to protect you. You’ll be fine after resting for a while. Can you give me the antidote?”
Jordan hesitated for a moment with the antidote in hand. Although he felt unwell and weak all over, he was still able to endure it. But Jordan could not be sure if the pill was really an antidote.
Now that Rong Huangde knew that Jordan was a Deity, would he give him a drug to control him?
Therefore, Jordan tossed the pill to Shaun. He wanted to use Shaun as a test subject.
Shaun immediately swallowed it. Soon, his breathing and complexion improved.
Rong Huangde smiled. “Hehe, so the Deity doesn’t dare to take my pill. Are you worried that I’ll give you poison?”
In return, Jordan said, “I don’t need it. As long as I can get out, with my predictive ability, I can develop an antidote myself.”
Rong Huangde nodded. “Good, you have a backbone. You have the style of a Deity! Ah, I didn’t expect to meet two Deities in my life! You must have helped Shaun with his mind-transplant procedure, right?”
Jordan didn’t deny it. “That b*stard Shaun kidnapped my wife and threatened me. I had no choice.”
After taking the antidote, Shaun felt a lot better. He immediately crawled to Rong Huangde and knelt down to grab his leg.
“Master Rong, please let me live! If you want, I can be your son and be filial to you on behalf of Rong Bailun. If you’re unwilling, I can scram as far as possible. I promise I won’t appear in front of you again!”
“Sigh.”

Rong Huangde was no longer angry. Instead, he sighed.
“It’s heaven’s will. It’s all heaven’s will. I killed your father and uncles. Now, you killed my son. It’s really karma!”
Rong Huangde sighed heavily.
Shaun and Jordan were stunned.
Shaun asked in disbelief, “What? You killed my father and uncle 30 years ago?”
When Shaun was about 10 years old, something happened to his family. His father and some uncles all died. His mother fled the village with him and his wife-to-be.
Shaun had no idea that it was Rong Huangde who killed them!
“Why did you kill them?” Jordan asked.
Rong Huangde replied, “I didn’t intend to kill them. I just wanted to know how the Handley family obtained their methods.”
“I kept going back in time to find them. I used all sorts of methods, but unfortunately, I didn’t get any results. Deity Jordan, in this world, there are two things that confuse me. One is the prediction ability of a Deity, and the other is the Handley family’s techniques.
“These two abilities are beyond science. They can’t be explained by science at all. I’ve been tracing the origins of the world. I believe that as long as we figure out these two things, we might know the true meaning of the entire world!”
Jordan recalled that the books in the basement of the Rong family residence were all related to prophecy and the Handley family’s hometown of Cocodrie.
Rong Huangde said to Jordan, “Deity Jordan, I sincerely invite you to join me. Go back to the past and figure out the origin of the Handley family’s methods, as well as the origin of the Deity. I’m just an ordinary old man. Even if I return to the past, the things I can do are limited.
“But you’re different. You’re a Deity. You can predict the future. I believe that as long as you’re willing to do it, you will definitely succeed in discovering the secrets!”
No wonder Rong Huangde suddenly became so polite to Jordan. He wanted Jordan to help him.
But Jordan shook his head. “No, I won’t return to the past. I have two wives now. No, three. If Lauren and Victoria agree to accept Lota, I will have three wives. I have three beautiful wives, a son and a daughter. I want to stay here with them. I won’t take any risks heading back to the past.”
Although Jordan did not know much about time travel, he knew that it must be a very risky thing to do.
What if he traveled back in time and couldn’t return?
What would happen to his three wives and two children?
Rong Huangde became very angry. “How can you give up on such a great thing because of some mortal relations? We’re exploring the ultimate mystery of the world! Don’t you want to know how your power came about? Don’t you want to know who taught the Handley family their spells?
“Don’t you want to live past 80?”
Jordan was a little curious. “Mr. Rong, you seem to be the same age as my grandfather. Why aren’t you affected by the curse?”
Rong Huangde smiled. “When I was 70 years old, I returned to the past and seldom came back. I haven’t spent more than 71 years in this present world.”
Jordan was shocked. He didn’t expect Rong Huangde to use such a method.
Rong Huangde continued to persuade him. “Think about it. If you return to the past and help me find out these secrets, you might be able to remove the curse of the eight great families. Then you and your children can live a long life!”
But Jordan still shook his head and refused. “It’s enough for me to live to 80 years old. I don’t even want to live that long. I won’t have any regrets even if I only live for 60 years. The most important thing for a person is to live an exciting and enriching life. Sorry, I won’t travel back in time. I want to be with the people I love in this world and this time.”
Rong Huangde looked disappointed. He sighed. “Alright, since you don’t want to, I won’t force you. However, I believe that you will agree one day. Because as long as people are alive, they will have regrets. No one can endure the temptation of returning to the past to make amendments.”
Jordan had regained some strength and slowly stood up. “Mr. Rong, can I leave?”
Rong Huangde stretched out his hand. “Deity, do as you please. All of our eight great families’ achievements are thanks to you. I will never dare to be disrespectful to you.”
Jordan nodded. “Alright, sorry to disturb you. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
Seeing that Jordan was about to leave, Shaun struggled to his feet. “Mr. Rong, take care. We’ll meet again if fate allows!”
Swish.
Rong Huangde grabbed Shaun like an eagle catching a chick.
“Good son, you cannot leave.”
