Chapter 942: What Are You Waiting For!

“I am not f*cking stupid.” Fang Zhengzhi knew about the danger of the Great Swamp and how many Monsters, Demons and Godly State experts there were.

“Then you still want to look for Yun Qingwu?” Ping Yang was confused.

“I said I want to look for Yun Qingwu, I didn’t say I want to go to the Great Swamp.” Fang Zhengzhi was a little annoyed.

“But isn’t Yun Qingwu in the Great Swamp? How can you look for her if you don’t go to the Great Swamp… Sigh, shameless brat, wait for me!” Ping Yang caught up with Fang Zhengzhi who was speeding up.

Fang Zhengzhi did not say much and held Ping Yang’s hand. In reality, he did not think of becoming a reputable hero.

Therefore, he would not do things that heroes did. For example, changing the situation of the entire world on his own, or charging into the Great Swamp and carrying out a massacre.

To put it frankly, if Fang Zhengzhi had such powers, he would not be running all over the Holy Region.

He would have immediately charged to the Great Swamp and carried out a massacre for at least half a month.

However, was that possible?

Obviously not!

Fang Zhengzhi had the skills to match up to a Godly State expert, but whether he could win had to depend on the power of the Godly State expert and luck.

He won the battle with Lin Ji partially because of luck.

Firstly, Lin Ji did not know Fang Zhengzhi’s real identity and was worried. Secondly, after Fang Zhengzhi’s provocation, Lin Ji had lost her cool. In addition to that, although the Monster Race was powerful in terms of physical strength, they lacked mental strength. All these gave Fang Zhengzhi the opportunity for a successful attack.

The successful attack helped with the seizure of Lin Ji, and now, the news that Sagely Battle God Meng Tian had “revived” was known worldwide.

Based on this, if Fang Zhengzhi encountered another Godly State expert, the Godly State expert would definitely fight with all his might and would not give him a chance like before.

Fang Zhengzhi was very sure about this. Therefore, he knew that the battle between him and Yun Qingwu had only just begun.

…

Although five days was not a long duration, it was long enough for news to spread throughout the Holy Region, especially with the intentional push of particular individuals.

Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Was one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

Yet now, it became the location where everyone in the Holy Region surged towards to. That was because a piece of breaking news was announced in these five days.

Source of God!

It was a phrase that was unknown to most people previously. However, in merely five days’ time, it became the aspiration of everyone.

Why did the world undergo such a drastic change? Why did the beasts become powerful for no reasons? Why did the small mountains suddenly increase in size? Why did the river carry a light fragrance?

Everything was a mystery.

And there was an answer to this mystery.

It was none other than the Source of God.

According to legends, the Source of God was a secret location at the point of time when the world was formed. When the world was formed, the world was not as “desolated” as it looked like currently.

At that time, the creatures in the world were extremely agile, they breathed with the Reiki energy and cultivated themselves to become Gods.

Furthermore, in that era, the trees were able to bear unique flowers and fruits because of the accumulation of the Reiki energy from the sky and earth. Anyone who consumed the flowers or fruits were able to gain control over the world.

Because of that, there were all kinds of powerful and ferocious beasts, such as the Golden Dragon, Four-clawed Qilin, Fire-blazing Phoenix and the Water-controlling Turtle.

Apart from that, there were Gods who ruled the world. By raising their hands, they could split apart mountains and stones and could make the weather rain by giving a smile.

That era was an ancient era.

A battle in the ancient era caused the Cosmic Disaster. Flames and rocks fell from the sky and covered the “source” of the Reiki, depleting the Reiki. As a result, the trees could no longer bear unique flowers and fruits and powerful Gods seized to exist.

This disaster changed the world.

Yet now, the “source” of the Reiki appeared again. All forms of life were reinvigorated along with the accumulation of Reiki, mountains, stones and trees grew and beasts became powerful again.

It could be foreseen that the magnificence of the ancient era would come alive again, powerful Gods would rule the world again and have the powers to destroy the world.

However, in order to become such a God, they had to find the Source of God.

That was because the Source of God was the “source” of the Reiki. One could become the next God if they found the Source of God and swallowed the fruit in the Source of God!

It was an extremely attractive legend. However, nobody knew where it originated from.

Although there were some ridiculous claims such as how one could become a God after consuming the fruits of the Source of God, all the disciples who went through the battle in the Heaven Zen Mountain saw with their own eyes that Nangong Hao had instantly become more powerful after swallowing the fruit of the Tree of God.

Apart from Nangong Hao, Fang Zhengzhi had also swallowed a fruit before.

Moreover, he did not die!

What did this mean? It meant that there was indeed a fruit in the world in which one could become powerful if they found and consumed it.

Although it was slightly against the ideology of cultivation and too good to be true, everyone had the dream to become God.

If they had a dream, they had to have the opportunity and hope.

Even though everyone knew that one should cultivate oneself steadily, when a “shortcut” appeared in front of one’s eyes, one would definitely try it.

The allure of these shortcuts was extremely huge for those who encountered bottlenecks during their cultivation process.

Insanity!

In five days time, after the legend had spread in the Holy Region, all the depression and complaints turned into a burning passion.

Moreover…

This legend also provided a piece of extremely important information.

The wrecked Black Stone Palace at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was the clue of the Source of God. One could find the Source of God if they entered the Black Stone Palace.

Holy moly!

Then what are you waiting for?!

“What do you think? Isn’t the legend that I made up with attractive?” At the entrance of a secluded cave outside the Great Swamp, Fang Zhengzhi, who was wearing a black robe and had a cloth with the word ‘God’ around his face, pointed at a group who walked out quickly from the Great Swamp.

“You really made this legend up?” Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi. She could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi had managed to turn something that did not exist into something that was so convincing such that even she herself almost believed it.

“Yes, isn’t it very realistic?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled.

In reality, for someone who had experienced the past life, he had no difficulty making up these type of “small stories” as, after all, there were many of these stories recorded in the books.

For example, ‘Nüwa mends the sky’, ‘Kuafu Chases the Sun’, ‘Four Ancient Beasts’, there were so many of similar stories, so how difficult could it be for him to make one up?

Of course, when making up the legend, Fang Zhengzhi had taken into consideration the events that took place in the current world and made some incomprehensible things more “realistic”. This way, he was able to convince a group of people and that allowed more people to be persuaded.

It was simple logic. It was alright even if you did not believe in the legend! If your brothers believed it, what would you do?

You would still pursue and attempt it.

This was a chain reaction. Fang Zhengzhi did not need to make up a legend that everyone in the world believed. He only needed to persuade a small group of people and purposely pushed them further.

For example, gather a sufficient number of “water army” ¹ .

Then, everything would proceed smoothly.

“Will Yun Qingwu believe it?” Ping Yang looked slightly worried after glancing at the Great Swamp.

“She won’t, but she will definitely go.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

“Why?” asked Ping Yang.

“Firstly, Yun Qingwu is very smart. She knows what she should do and what she should not. After all, she cannot stop the entire Monster Race and Demon Race from believing this legend. If she forced everyone to stop looking for the ‘Source of God’, the result would be the opposite from what she wants to see,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“I still don’t understand. Yun Qingwu has a very high status amongst the Monster Race and Demon Race, why wouldn’t they believe her if she said that the legend is fake?” Ping Yang frowned.

“She can’t say that.”

“Why? Why not?”

“That is because she did not have concrete evidence to prove whether the legend is real or fake. If she said it was fake, she must reveal everything she knows about the ‘Source of God’. However, how could she possibly reveal such important insider news to the entire Monster Race and Demon Race?” said Fang Zhengzhi confidently.

“I understand now. You are saying that even if Yun Qingwu knows that this is a trap, she won’t let this trap affect her original plan or reveal the truth about the ‘Source of God’.” Ping Yang’s eyes lit up.

“That’s about it.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

“Then what’s the second reason?”

“The second reason is, the fake legend may not be a bad thing for her. I have heard from Lin Ji that the main reason why Yun Qingwu could get the support of the Godly State experts was that she had set up a chess game in the Heaven Zen Mountain and won 100 pawns with only 15 pawns.”

“Could this game… be related to why she went to the Heaven Dao Pavilion?”

“Yes. She got the full support of the Godly State experts with one chess game. However, do you think that’s possible?”

“Hmm… I understand. You are saying that Yun Qingwu is making use of this opportunity to once again establish her credibility in the Godly State experts’ hearts?” Ping Yang understood what Fang Zhengzhi meant.

“Exactly. Yun Qingwu will show her powerful intelligence when everyone headed to the wrecked Black Stone Palace under the Heaven Dao Pavilion. She wants to show the Godly State experts how she is able to calculate the perfect timing and turn this entire event into a trap!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded again.

“Then according to what you said, aren’t we helping her?” Ping Yang became confused again.

“Kind of.”

“You… spy of the humankind! Tell me, do you have a scandal with Yun Qingwu? Did you sleep with her? Or, did she sleep with you?” Ping Yang’s eyes widened and she opened her petite mouth and was about to bite Fang Zhengzhi again.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless when he saw Ping Yang opened her mouth. Since when did this girl become so easily triggered?

Moreover, from whom did she learn this biting tactic from? He did not know that she had this special habit previously.

Judging from time…

Ping Yang had followed Qian Yu all along, could Qian Yu, the Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower, be an expert in terms of certain skills?

Thinking about this, Fang Zhengzhi showed an odd expression that all men could understand.

“Shameless brat, what are you thinking about?” After seeing how Fang Zhengzhi remained silent and the odd expression on his face, Ping Yang stopped and did not bite him.

“I was thinking about the incident when Qian Yu conquered the Emperor, did she use her mouth… oh, sorry, I meant that, Auntie Qian’s mouth… Er, actually, I am not thinking about anything, do you believe me?” Fang Zhengzhi began perspiring as he tried to explain himself.

“Yes, of course, I believe you! You shameless brat, tell me, what exactly are you thinking about?!” Ping Yang did not hesitate this time and was ready to bite Fang Zhengzhi again.

“The mantis stalks the cicada, oblivious of the sparrow stalking him!” ² Seeing how Ping Yang was ready to bite him, Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and pretended to be profound.

“What do you mean?” Indeed, Ping Yang stopped and looked confused.

“I meant that I had always thought I was a sparrow until I discovered that I am a mantis. This time, I want to give the sparrow a try.”

“So we are eating roasted sparrows tonight?” With anticipation, Ping Yang blinked and licked her lips.

“Your IQ… is wrecked!”

“What?”

“I said you are really smart, I will go capture some sparrows and cook them for you. Are you surprised?”

“Yay, that’s great!” Ping Yang leaped in joy but quickly turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi again. “You haven’t told me why you are helping Yun Qingwu. Do you have a scandal with her?”

“You can ask her ten days later.” Fang Zhengzhi leaped into the forest and refused to explain further.

“Ten days?” Ping Yang pouted as she watched Fang Zhengzhi disappear. “The mantis stalks the cicada, oblivious of the sparrow stalking him? Shameless brat, do you think you can win Yun Qingwu in terms of intelligence?”
