You set gmail up to read from your centurylink account directly from the POP or IMAP server. You can also set the SMTP server to centurylink and it is invisible to the normal recipient that the mail ever went through the hands of google.
It's up to you if you leave the centurylink copy on their server, or delete it knowing that google has a copy.
You only need to forward if you keep a second gmail account for "unsafe" mail reading, and then you forward from your mail gmail account. (See above)
