A Startled God

"I've met the True Person."

The Calm Wrath Buddha Son, quickly bowed, not forgetting to reach out and poke the Withered Woman's buttocks behind him.

The latter reacted, looking curiously at the suddenly appearing old man who exuded a faint air of immortality, and said in a crisp voice:

"I've met you in True Person!"

Niu Dali his scalp and immediately recognized the mysterious person who had given him the High Heaven Token.

How could he not understand that the "Celestial Venerable" mentioned by this terrifying Buddhist disciple was inextricably linked to the High Heaven Token?

That was originally mine!

It was my fortuitous opportunity!

Niu Dali's eyes were about to burst.

Using the Immortal Thought contained within the High Heaven Token, Zhang Fusheng manifested himself as Zhong Shan across an immeasurable distance.

He first glanced at Zhu Xiaoming, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and only after confirming that the other party was alright did he calmly speak:

"Having invoked the Order of High Heaven, what is your purpose?"

"One contribution, one seat."

The Withered Woman heard her Buddhist disciple speak respectfully:

"I was fortunate enough to receive a few days of leniency from the True Person, and now I can offer the Human Treasure to the Heavenly Venerable."

The Withered Woman was somewhat curious: Heavenly Venerable, True Person.

These are extremely high-ranking terms in Daoism!

Is this True Person the spokesperson for that mysterious celestial being?

Zhang Fusheng's gaze fell on the Human Treasure with its bloodshot eyes. The Human Treasure Human Treasure a special treasure made from a human.

Eldest Senior Brother, oh Eldest Senior Brother.

He maintained his composure and nodded slightly.

"That is certainly the case; I will take this Human Treasure with me."

The old man, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke these words, then turned around, looked at the boundless mountains and lakes, and pointed to the railway that stretched straight into the distance:

"Isn't that True God?"

The Buddhist disciple was clearly taken aback for a moment, then understood and smiled:

"Yes, a planet made up of countless 'independent bubbles' stacked and combined—this must be a unique spectacle in the universe, right? Sometimes it's really hard to understand the immense power that alters the structure of reality."

Um?

Did you really put it on?

Zhang Fusheng remained calm. He was anxious, very anxious, and desperately needed to know about the strange situation outside Jiangzhou.

But you can't just ask directly— True Person shouldn't be so ignorant.

The Buddhist disciple clicked his tongue and said:

"The Federation will stop at nothing to deal with sects like ours."

Zhang Fusheng, without making a sound, possessed the immense power to alter the structure of reality, creating a planet formed by stacked 'independent bubbles'.

He quickly analyzed the independent bubbles.

Could it be that...

Is each city situated in an independent space?

What about the railway that runs from Jiangzhou City to Longzhou City?

Or perhaps, that 'railway' is a 'passage' between Jiangzhou Bubble and Dragon Boat Bubble?

Zhang Fusheng's mind raced, and in the absence of Malevolent Energy, he found his thoughts to be infinitely sharper than before.

This was largely due to Liao Xianji's 'comprehension'.

"From this day forward, you will be the Fifth Seat of the Gaotian Association." The old man spoke calmly, "This is the contract."

He outlined a colorful plan, exchanging a 'seat' in the Gaotian Association for a 'Human Treasure'.

This is a true reflection of the Contract Book.

The Buddhist disciple felt a chill run down his spine. Having frequent contact with deities, he possessed a unique sensitivity that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

At this moment, one can read an unimaginable grandeur in this contract projected from who-knows-where.

He saw the True Person lightly tap the contract, and he followed suit.

It seemed as if a bell tolled in my ear.

The jar then suddenly disappeared.

Zhong Shan didn't rush to leave, but continued to gaze at the dragon boat railway, asking ambiguously:

"How long do you think it will take for the world to return to normal?"

The Buddhist disciple didn't understand the True Person's meaning and was pondering. The Master meant that the planet was no longer composed of independent bubbles.

Or is it...?

Has the world's 'diseases' been cured?

He thought for a moment and said:

"If you mean the rules of reality have been distorted by that kind of power, I reckon it will be very difficult to restore them, unless a being like the Celestial Venerable intervenes."

The Buddhist disciple said softly:

"But there's always a way. With the Waiting Area set up by the Federation in the sky, it's not difficult to smuggle people between lower-level cities."

Waiting Area high in the sky?

Is the Waiting Area above the sky?

Zhang Fusheng suddenly realized why there was an invisible film over a hundred kilometers in the sky; perhaps breaking through it would allow them to directly enter the Waiting Area?

At this moment, the Buddhist disciple also changed the subject:

"And if you're referring to this sick world, when will it return to normal?"

He seemed lost in thought, and sighed softly:

"I don't know either. The world is becoming more and more insane and violent."

The True Person looked at the handsome young man and said in a low voice:

"This is the meaning of existence in the Above High Heaven."

"The way of Heaven is to take from the excess and give to the deficiency, to balance Yin and Yang, and for all things to reach the Taiji. Only balance is the only way out; neither extreme good nor extreme evil is desirable."

This is the Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity.

The Buddhist disciple listened quietly, his eyes shining.

"Balance."

He was lost in thought, and suddenly closed his eyes. A faint light emanated from his body, and amidst the intertwining of the light, it seemed as if lotus flowers were floating and sinking.

The Buddhist disciple smiled, making a gesture of holding up a flower.

"Ah, I've attained enlightenment!"

The Withered Woman lay on the back of the Buddhist disciple, looking with awe at the mysterious True Person. With just a few words, he had enabled the disciple to attain enlightenment?

The True Person smiled, sighed, "By the Heavenly Venerable above," and his figure gradually blurred until he disappeared.

"What monster!"

Zhang Fusheng opened his eyes and muttered:

"No, he just rambled on for a bit and suddenly he's enlightened??"

He wasn't quite sure what enlightenment was, but it must be an incredibly wonderful thing—just like a Buddhist monk, smiling as he held up a flower, causing lotuses to float and sink, he would believe it if you said he had truly become a Bodhisattva!

"Fortunately, we managed to get the conversation started."

Zhang Fusheng's expression turned solemn. According to the Buddhist monk's teachings, the Mother Star was still a planet in the conventional sense.

But the difference is,

The regions within the Mother Star are divided and isolated, stacked together like bubbles.

Was that seemingly insurmountable river we saw earlier the boundary of this 'bubble'?

This was caused by an unknown force descending from somewhere.

"Change the structure of reality."

He roughly understood that without using the city's fixed railways and air routes, he would be unable to cross over to another city, just like himself.

This is a method the Federation uses to restrict cults—by using fixed railway and air routes, it becomes easy to set up checkpoints and conduct investigations.

However, as the Buddhist monk said, there are solutions.

Zhang Fusheng's face fell, as if how to smuggle oneself across the border was common sense— Miss Mingyue probably thought she knew it too.

But I don't know!

It seems that since the sky can be cracked, the only option is to try to force our way into the Waiting Area by brute force. We must find an extremely high mountain peak.

Lost in thought, Zhang Fusheng felt a violent throbbing in his heart.

He looked towards Jiangzhou City, which was extremely far away.

The 'blood-red eggshell' that had enveloped the entire Jiangzhou City suddenly cracked and shattered.

"The Divine Descent is complete?"

Zhang Fusheng was startled to see the 'eggshell' begin to collapse. His pupils shrank to pinpoints as he tried to look into the distance.

Through the blurry images, one could see that the Flesh and Blood Mycelial Blanket of life was beginning to regrow in the city.

Countless threads of flesh twisted into extremely thick pillars of flesh, reaching towards the sky a thousand meters high, eventually converging into a single point.

The collapsed 'eggshell,' or rather, the curtain of flesh and blood, transformed into a huge lump of flesh at that single point.

One piece of flesh after another was transported into the meat mass through the flesh pillar.

For no apparent reason, Zhang Fusheng's hair suddenly stood on end.

He looked out and saw the lump of flesh grow arms, then legs, and then begin to extend its head.

Supplies were provided by the blood and flesh of millions of people throughout Jiangzhou.

A flesh and blood body capable of bearing the will of the 'God of Plague' is being constructed and nurtured; the will of the God of Plague is descending!

Zhang Fusheng turned and ran.

Because he discovered something terrifying.

The Flesh and Blood Mycelial Blanket covering the city seems to

It is spreading outwards.

It is encroaching on the land, mountains, rivers, and lakes outside Jiangzhou.

"Raise the bandits to respect themselves."

Since we're going to raise bandits, those bandits can't just run around.

Zhang Fusheng felt a chill run down his spine, and a guess popped into his mind. His intuition told him that this guess was probably very accurate!

Originally, the God of Plague, who only descended upon the Lower-Level District, would probably not have been too powerful, given the flesh and blood of those Lower-Level District.

And now, with the Investigation Bureau's encouragement, they may even have done things they themselves are unaware of.

Now, the God of Plague's descent has been exceptionally successful, even beginning to erode this [space bubble]!!

"Jiangzhou City, Jiangzhou Bubble".

"That's it! This 'bubble' has been possessed by the God of Plague. The Golden Province can use the pretext of 'suppressing the Evil God's and 'preventing other cities from being infected' to amass a large army and besiege this bubble!"

Zhang Fusheng ran wildly, his thoughts racing.

"Even if the Golden Province had the ability to kill this divine body, it wouldn't do it."

"And then, using that as a pretext, demand a large amount of resources from the Federation?"

"Raise the bandits to respect themselves."

He ran wildly, and as he approached the impassable river, he found a towering peak ten thousand meters high and rushed towards it with great fanfare!

Because the crimson hue in the distance was rapidly engulfing everything.

If you run too slowly, you really won't be able to escape!

"Break!"

Standing atop a mountain ten thousand meters high, Zhang Fusheng let out a hysterical roar.

He revealed his Sixteen-Foot True Body, with a faint Buddha Light emanating from his body. He tore off several huge rocks and then threw them one by one into the sky!

With an explosive force of 1.26 million jin, the shattered rocks broke the sound barrier.

Zhang Fusheng then bent over, knelt down, and leaped with all his might!

He rushed towards the sky at an even faster speed, catching up with the last piece of rock he threw, and took a step!

The massive rock fragment exploded into dust, and he burst forth a second time, charging upwards to catch up with the second rock fragment, then stomping again and rising higher!

This is something that's almost like stepping on your own foot with your left, defying common sense.

But Zhang Fusheng only needed a point of leverage to unleash his power.

"Roar!!"

He deliberately tore his skin apart, causing blood to flow and cover his entire body, thus activating the True Thunder Intent within his Qi and Blood!

'Boom!'

Hundreds of kilometers into the sky, a burst of blazing white lightning erupted, revealing countless cracks.

Blood flowed into the cracks, and the lightning also lingered within them.

It continued to shine with a blazing white light.

This time, the healing speed of the ceiling crack was greatly slowed down.

Zhang Fusheng fell to his death on the mountaintop.

"Again!"

He resorted to his old tricks, throwing rocks, leaping, stepping on stones, and crashing into the sky!

Once, twice, three times!

Each impact to the zenith tore the sky further apart, leaving behind copious amounts of blood and erupting with massive bursts of lightning.

The cracks became increasingly dense and deeper!

Zhang Fusheng saw that the distance was already tinged with blood, as a network of flesh and blood was rapidly expanding.

Tenth time, throw the rock, leap!

Just before the tenth impact cracked the zenith.

He suddenly heard muffled breathing.

The sound of breathing, originating from Jiangzhou, was so intense that it could travel two thousand kilometers.

With a single breath, a gale arose from the insurmountable river two thousand kilometers away, whipping up pebbles and fallen leaves, sweeping towards that distant horizon.

With each exhale, the fierce wind blew outwards again, stirring up clouds of dust and sand!

Zhang Fusheng could even clearly sense that...

With each breath,

The Mysterious Factor within the entire 'bubble' were also inhaling and exhaling; as the terrifying being from afar inhaled, the Mysterious Factor 'receded' and 'contracted'.

As you exhale, the Mysterious Factor surges and expands again!

His breath affects the winds and clouds within a radius of over two thousand kilometers.

'Pop!'

The world was brightly lit.

It is the gods who have opened their eyes.

Zhang Fusheng's muscles suddenly tensed, and every cell in his body seemed to be screaming and warning!

God looked at himself.

God is watching over me!!

A terrifying will descended, sweeping towards him!

So close, so close!

Looking at the ever-approaching celestial dome, at the fine cracks flowing with lightning, at the celestial dome about to be completely shattered!

Zhang Fusheng suddenly roared:

"The Ancestor of Land Immortals"

"Master of Five Villages Temple!"

"To be with the world, to be with you!"

"Now's the time! Make your move!"

"Slay Him, and according to His will, strip Him of His divine and heavenly position!"

The terrifying will that swept in abruptly stopped, and even the spreading and expanding network of flesh and blood abruptly halted.

The deity was clearly startled; under the influence of a terrifying will,

Thousands of kilometers of land, mountains, and rivers were suddenly torn apart and lifted into the air!

This was an unbelievable and spectacular sight; as far as the eye could see, there were broken mountain peaks, torn fragments of the earth, and destroyed forests.

Even rivers and lakes

They were all pulled into the air by the terrifying will!!

Is there really such immense power in the world?

The vast aura was contracting violently, attempting to defend itself, while an indescribably powerful will and gaze swept around in alarm, seemingly searching for something!

God was terrified, thinking he had fallen into a trap.

It was this brief interval.

Zhang Fusheng crashed violently into the very top of the sky.

'Snap!!'

It was a breaking sound.

The God of Plague suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

Within and outside Jiangzhou, a massive earthquake ripped the earth apart, and the border river surged with enormous waves!

I'll remember you.

The god's gaze was fixed on the figure that had disappeared into the sky, and his cold voice echoed across the ruins of the land, which stretched for thousands of kilometers.
