Chapter 986: Ill.u.s.tration of the Source of G.o.d and Secrets of the Ancient
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Source of G.o.d?!”
“Did he just say that this Stone Tablet contains an allusion to the Source of G.o.d? Can we actually find the Source of G.o.d in this Black Stone Palace?!”
“Is that legend actually true?”
Although no one was convinced that Fang Zhengzhi could understand the words on the tablet, they had no choice but to believe him now after he read out the inscriptions on the tablet so fluently.
No one dared to doubt him!
It was now confirmed that Fang Zhengzhi actually knew the words on the tablet, no matter how much the Human Alliance’s disciples wanted to believe otherwise.
“What does it say about the Source of G.o.d?” Even Mu Qingfeng was staring at Fang Zhengzhi eagerly, waiting for him to continue.
However, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t feel like talking anymore. He was even frowning and seemingly deep in his thoughts.
The atmosphere became tense.
Neither Yan Xiu nor Ping Yang disturbed him. They just stood quietly beside Fang Zhengzhi, holding Dao Xin and Yun Qingwu in their arms respectively.
“So that’s the truth!” Fang Zhengzhi finally said something after he was lost in his thoughts for a long time. Then, he looked towards Ping Yang.
However, he was looking at Yun Qingwu instead of Ping Yang, setting his eyes on her extremely beautiful face and her eyes which were sewn shut.
“Hey, shameless brat, why did you stop reading? I’m still waiting to hear the story.” Ping Yang couldn’t help asking when she saw Fang Zhengzhi’s head turning towards her.
After all, she was actually impatient. She didn’t enjoy a story half told.
“Do you want to hear more of the story?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and asked.
“Yup.” Ping Yang nodded continuously as if she was a chicken pecking on rice.
“But there’s nothing after that.” Fang Zhengzhi shrugged, implying that there was nothing that he could do about it.
“There’s nothing?” Ping Yang looked confused. She was now completely convinced that Fang Zhengzhi could understand the words on the Stone Tablet. Yet, he was telling her that that was the end of the story.
‘What the h.e.l.l!’
“…”
“…”
Apart from Ping Yang, even Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shans.h.i.+, and the rest were rendered speechless, as if they had a fly stuck in their throats.
‘This fellow is too shameless!’
‘Why is he keeping us in suspense at such a critical time?’
“Erm… Fang Zhengzhi, the Source of G.o.d is way too important for the Human Alliance. Please tell us the truth if you can so that we could discuss this together.” Mu Qingfeng was pulling his seniority on Fang Zhengzhi. After all, the Source of G.o.d was extremely crucial for them.
“That’s really the end of it.” Fang Zhengzhi said the same thing again.
“That’s…” Mu Qingfeng was a little frustrated. However, he wasn’t about to give up, so he asked again, “Why don’t you take a look again, and do it seriously this time? Isn’t there something about a ‘gate’ in the third paragraph?”
“There is something about a gate, but it isn’t a story.” Fang Zhengzhi responded lightheartedly.
“What is it about?”
“An ill.u.s.tration.”
“An ill.u.s.tration?! What ill.u.s.tration?”
“If I’m right, it should be a treasure map.”
“A treasure map?!”
At this moment, Mu Qingfeng wasn’t the only person who was stunned. Even Mo Shans.h.i.+ opened his eyes wide with shock and his pale face turned red a little despite his injuries.
A treasure map!
That implied that there must be a treasure!
The disciples of the Human Alliance stared at each other with their eyes beaming with excitement, as if they saw a pile of treasure waving its hand at them.
“Where’s the treasure?” Mu Qingfeng gulped and asked.
“It’s the Source of G.o.d.” Fang Zhengzhi responded emotionlessly.
“…”
“…”
Everyone was speechless again. They were back to square one now.
“Well, the treasure map shows where the Source of G.o.d is.” Fang Zhengzhi explained.
“Then… Where is it?” Mu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up with excitement again. Even he was extremely interested in this ancient treasure.
“Wait a minute.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
“What… What are we waiting for?”
While Mu Qingfeng felt incredibly puzzled, he saw a long sword appearing in Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he struck the Stone Tablet.
“…”
Boom!
The black Stone Tablet was split into two. Then, he struck the table over and over again.
He only stopped when the tablet turned into countless fragments.
“Fang Zhengzhi, what are you doing?!” Even Mu Qingfeng was scared out of his wits. He really didn’t expect Fang Zhengzhi to destroy the tablet.
“Destroying it.” Fang Zhengzhi replied with a straight face.
“…” Mu Qingfeng felt like it was getting harder to breathe. He obviously knew that Fang Zhengzhi was destroying the tablet, but he wanted to know why he did that. “How are we going to find the Source of G.o.d if you destroy the tablet?!”
“I know where it is. The army of Demons and Monsters will be here soon. Do you want them to see the tablet too?” Fang Zhengzhi was staring at Mu Qingfeng like he was an idiot.
“…” Mu Qingfeng turned red.
The surrounding disciples and Mo Shans.h.i.+ were also looking at Mu Qingfeng with a weird expression that was somewhat similar to Fang Zhengzhi’s.
That was right, they were looking at him as if he was a fool!
Mu Qingfeng suddenly felt like an idiot.
It was fairly awkward.
‘Is it because I was too desperate to obtain the treasure?’ Mu Qingfeng knew that a person would tend to lose his cool when he was overly concerned with gains and achievements.
He was currently in such a state.
‘However, what the h.e.l.l is with the expression on these disciples’ faces?’ Mu Qingfeng didn’t believe that they realized what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do.
‘d.a.m.n it, I became a laughingstock.’
While Mu Qingfeng was thinking about his predicament, he saw Fang Zhengzhi collecting the fragments of the tablet.
He didn’t leave behind a single piece.
‘Why is he… Collecting the fragments now?’ Mu Qingfeng was just about to ask that question when he remembered how everyone ridiculed him, so he instantly held his tongue.
Meanwhile, all the disciples were staring at Fang Zhengzhi with their eyes wide open. However, no one said a word because they didn’t want to be treated as a fool.
Fang Zhengzhi looked satisfied after collecting all the fragments. He dusted his hands while humming a tune.
It was as if he had obtained some exceptional treasure.
Mu Qingfeng felt conflicted because he didn’t know if he should ask Fang Zhengzhi what he was doing. He couldn’t comprehend his actions at all.
Of course, Mu Qingfeng truly felt helpless.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi was the only one who could understand everything on the tablet.
“Something’s wrong. This brat is keeping something from us!” Mu Qingfeng was almost certain that there was more to the tablet than meets the eye.
However, he didn’t have any proof.
In that case, what could he do?
Nothing.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiu, Ping Yang, Wu Yuer, and the rest kept quiet. However, Ping Yang and Wu Yuer were smiling subtly.
They didn’t know what Fang Zhengzhi was doing, but they were definitely sure that he was up to no good.
After Fang Zhengzhi was done, he turned towards Ping Yang again. Then, he silently curled his lips at her.
“What do you want?” Ping Yang replied unhappily.
“Is she heavy? Do you want me to carry her?” Fang Zhengzhi pointed at Yun Qingwu and said.
“Do you want to carry her, or do you want to cop a feel?” Ping Yang pursed her lips as if to say that she saw through his shameless plan, and she wouldn’t allow it.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! Do I really seem like that type of guy?” Fang Zhengzhi replied with a straight face. Then, he smiled and continued, “Don’t you feel that there’s something different about Yun Qingwu?”
“Something different?” Ping Yang didn’t understand him.
“You’ve heard enough, haven’t you?” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Ping Yang and looked at Yun Qingwu instead.
“What?!” Ping Yang was surprised.
Mu Qingfeng was taken aback too. He also looked towards Yun Qingwu, and he quickly realized what was going on.
Yun Qingwu had probably woken up already!
That was right!
Since Fang Zhengzhi realized that Yun Qingwu had already woken up, how could he possibly tell them where the Source of G.o.d was?
‘So that’s it. It seems like I was worried about nothing.’ Mu Qingfeng soon deduced the whole picture. Although he was extremely curious about the location of the Source of G.o.d, he also knew that it wouldn’t be a good thing if Yun Qingwu knew about it.
That was in spite of the fact that Yun Qingwu was no longer the commander of the army of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
While Mu Qingfeng was figuring everything out, he saw Fang Zhengzhi raising his hand. Then, he gave Yun Qingwu’s b.u.t.t a tight slap.
Smack! It was loud and clear.
However, Yun Qingwu remained motionless, and she didn’t move a muscle. She looked like she had pa.s.sed out completely.
“Aren’t you a good actress?” Fang Zhengzhi scorned at Yun Qingwu’s unchanged expression. Then, he raised his hand again and was about to slap her b.u.t.t a second time.
“Shameless!” When Fang Zhengzhi’s hand was about to hit Yun Qingwu’s b.u.t.t, he heard a cry of anger.
Then…
Yun Qingwu fell on her b.u.t.t.
That was because Ping Yang had ‘accidentally’ lost her grip.
Thump! Yun Qingwu fell hard on her b.u.t.t. However, she quickly stood up and remained silent after throwing Ping Yang a quick glance.
Yun Qingwu’s tolerance was really exceptional!
She wasn’t even mad after all that happened?
However, even if Yun Qingwu wasn’t angry, it didn’t mean that Ping Yang wasn’t p.i.s.sed off. After she saw that Yun Qingwu had woken up, she felt like she was played like a fiddle.
“Yun Qingwu, when did you wake up!”
“When you pinched me.” Yun Qingwu replied straightforwardly.
“When I pinched you?” Ping Yang soon recalled that she pinched Yun Qingwu in secret when she was quarreling with Wu Yuer earlier. “Does that mean that you’ve heard everything Fang Zhengzhi said just now?” She asked again.
“Yup, not only did I hear the story that Fang Zhengzhi read from the tablet, but I also heard you quarreling with Wu Yuer.” Yun Qingwu didn’t deny it.
“You…” Ping Yang turned red with frustration.
How could Ping Yang let it go after Yun Qingwu had heard her secret? Therefore, she quickly lifted Yun Qingwu off the ground.
“Are you going to kill me?” Yun Qingwu looked calm.
“Would you believe me if I said that killing you is as easy as squas.h.i.+ng an ant?” Ping Yang wore a ruthless expression.
“I would, but right now, you guys should have something that’s more important than killing me.” Yun Qingwu allowed Ping Yang to grab her by her collar, and she wasn’t going to put up any resistance.
“Something that’s more important?” Ping Yang was stumped.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi turned towards somewhere in the distance after hearing her. That was because there was an obvious commotion over there.
The army of Monster Race and Demon Race was here!
Yun Qingwu was right that that was the most critical matter at hand now.
They saw several figures flas.h.i.+ng in the distance.
The first person that appeared was completely covered by a black cloak. There was a lingering air of death on this person and it felt chilling and nerve-wracking.
This sensation…
Fang Zhengzhi was familiar with this sensation, and so was Ping Yang.
“Chou Qi?!” Ping Yang exclaimed.
Fang Zhengzhi also frowned because he clearly remembered that he saw Mu Xing, two other experts at G.o.dly State, and the army of Monster Race and Demon Race chasing after them when he opened his Ghost Eye just now.
‘Aren’t Mu Xing and his friends chasing after us?’
‘In that case, why is Chou Qi the first one to arrive, rather than Mu Xing?’
‘What’s going on?’
While Fang Zhengzhi was deep in his thoughts, Mu Xing and the other Monster and Demon G.o.ds appeared as well. Lin Yu was also with them.
Five G.o.ds!
To make things worse, they were followed by the army of Monster Race and Demon Race. The size of the army was completely different from what Fang Zhengzhi had seen with his Ghost Eye earlier.
‘Did all of them come in?’ It was impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to be completely unsurprised. Most importantly, he didn’t see Qin Xian.
‘Where did Qin Xian go?’
‘Why is Chou Qi here?’
Several questions popped up in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind simultaneously.
Unlike Fang Zhengzhi, Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shans.h.i.+, and everyone else were more than surprised.
“It’s the army of Monster Race and Demon Race!”
“Their G.o.ds are also here!”
“Five?! Oh my G.o.d, there are five G.o.ds?”
“What should we do?! Can Fang Zhengzhi hold them off alone?”
When the disciples of the Human Alliance saw Fang Zhengzhi and the others, they knew that the army of Monster Race and Demon Race was chasing after them. However, they didn’t expect so many of them to show up.
‘I thought there were only three G.o.ds?’
‘How did five of them appear at the same time?’
‘Moreover, isn’t the size of the army that is chasing after us an overkill? There are dozens of Monster Kings, coupled with an uncountable number of Demon soldiers and Beasts.’
This was too horrifying!
Hearing about it and actually see it were two completely different matters.
