Plague, I Have Come to Collect a Debt! (23)

(Chapter 3 is a relatively long chapter, covering this part of the story in one go, so it will be a little late.)

"In all things, stability should be the priority."

He didn't rush to leave the divine realm, but instead entered the summit of the 'Mysterious Yellow Waterfall,' reaching the Buzhou Mountain —after acquiring this Buzhou Heavenly Pillar,

When he came to the Eight Sceneries Palace again, he no longer needed to borrow the Heaven and Earth Golden Bridge formed by the Contract Book.

Upon entering the Eight Sceneries Palace, a thought struck him, and he retrieved the 'Human Treasure' that had been gathering dust for a long time.

Eldest Senior Brother, Niu Dali.

Zhang Fusheng weighed the earthenware pot in his hand, then gently tapped it on the head whose six senses were sealed off at the mouth of the pot.

Niu Dali's six senses returned, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He stared intently at Zhang Fusheng, his teeth clenched in fury.

"Junior Disciple Brother"

"It's been so many years, my dear Eldest Senior Brother."

"Many years?" Niu Dali sneered, "Only two or three months."

Zhang Fusheng chuckled. Since the Eight Sceneries Palace wasn't within the Divine Realm, the Human Treasure within the Dao Palace naturally wouldn't accelerate along with the acceleration of the Divine Realm.

For Niu Dali,

From the time he was turned into Human Treasure to the time of the Jiangzhou Incident, only three or four months have passed.

Why have you woken me up today?

Niu Dali's body was compressed inside the small jar, with only his head sticking out, where he was grinding his teeth.

"Where have you gotten to? Third organ? Fourth organ?"

He sneered:

"A miraculous ability to trade, impersonating a so-called Celestial Venerable. Perhaps, in these three or four months, you have already become a Grandmaster?"

Zhang Fusheng's expression was calm:

"More or less?"

Niu Dali chuckled:

"Waste!"

He raised his eyelids, racking his brains for words of ridicule—this was the only thing he could use to annoy Zhang Fusheng now.

"To only become a Grandmaster in March or April? If I hadn't suffered that calamity, I would have completed my plan and successfully Devour God."

Niu Dali said coldly:

"I have at least taken one step to become a Grand Master!"

"Wow, amazing, amazing!"

Zhang Fusheng casually replied, then a smile appeared on his face:

"But now, there's an opportunity for you to fulfill your 'mission'."

A bad feeling flashed through Niu Dali's mind. He wanted to say something, but Zhang Fusheng silenced him with a thought. He could see and hear, but he couldn't speak.

Even his soul was sealed tightly within his head, protected by a restriction—if anyone wanted to access Niu Dali's soul memories,

His soul will immediately 'self-destruct'.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Fusheng then immersed his thoughts into Niu Dali's Soul Spirit, making deletions and alterations, either deleting or changing the other's memories of the Eight Sceneries Palace, the Heavenly Venerable, and so on.

Therefore, in Niu Dali's mind, the Celestial Venerable is the Celestial Venerable, Zhang Fusheng is Zhang Fusheng —the latter is merely someone favored by the Celestial Venerable, nothing more.

"Done."

Zhang Fusheng weighed the speechless Human Treasure in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

The moment a thought arises, one has already departed from the divine realm and returned to one's true self.

Chongshan heaven and earth.

Su Qiansuan held up this small world with one hand, forming a vast palm tens of thousands of kilometers wide outside the entire world.

The Golden Armored Being sat quietly, cautiously examining the carriage, a sense of dread creeping into its heart.

He himself came from the capital, had lived for many years, and had been involved in many things.

The carriage bore extremely ancient marks, and the horse pulling it was also extraordinary, seemingly at the level of Celestial Person, yet exuding a unique ethereal charm!

"Young Master Zhang is awake."

A soft, elegant voice filled the carriage.

Su Qiansuan and the Golden Armored Being simultaneously turned their gazes toward the young man sitting cross-legged.

At that moment, the latter slowly opened his eyes.

Whether it was a misperception or not, the Golden Armored Being sensed a profound aura of age emanating from this Brother Zhang—but that aura quickly dissipated completely.

The hustle and bustle of the Mortal World has added to my burdens.

In a very short time, Zhang Fusheng concealed his transcendent aura, which he had possessed for 4,600 years, of being detached from Mortal World.

He stood up and bowed towards the carriage.

"Miss Mingyue"

"Um."

The voice of the Miss Mingyue rang out:

"Young Master Zhang, are you sure you want to go and slay the God of Plague?"

"Sure."

Zhang Fusheng spoke calmly:

"I sought the Dao from the Heavenly Venerable and obtained the ability of Niu Dali to Devour Everything."

"I am now ready to restart Miss Mingyue's original plan—to devour the divine embryo that brought the plague to the world."

"I want to Devour God."

Su Qiansuan and the Golden Armored Being's pupils contracted. Although they didn't understand what "Devour Everything" meant, they knew the implications of killing a god who sat in the heavenly throne.

The two venerable ones subconsciously glanced at the carriage that was imbued with the Starry Sky Aura.

The Miss Mingyue said at the opportune moment:

"The plan at the time was to use Niu Dali to Devour God, as he possessed a special bloodline—not only Devour Everything."

"It can still trace the connection between the descended divine embryo and the original body, anchoring the true form of the Plague, but now, Niu Dali no longer knows."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Zhang Fusheng bowed towards the void:

"Heavenly Venerable One, we beg you to grant us your blessing."

A chaotic mist emerged, within which the figure of an old man could be vaguely discerned—it was True Person.

The True Person glanced at the Golden Armored Being and Su Qiansuan, then nodded amicably to Miss Mingyue.

He then patted his palm, and a small jar fell into Zhang Fusheng's hand.

The chaotic fog receded again.

"Niu Dali"

Zhang Fusheng raised the Human Treasure, Golden Armored Being were astonished:

"A Mandala System Human Treasure... Could this be the person with the special bloodline?"

Inside the jar, Niu Dali struggled violently, his gaze sweeping over the three unfamiliar creatures before him, but he couldn't utter a sound no matter what he did.

Who are these three people?

That scoundrel of a friend of Zhang Fusheng?

Why are they all floating in mid-air?

Niu Dali's heart sank slightly. Without substantial Qi and Blood to support him, how could he possibly float into the air and ride the wind?

This requires a level of spiritual cultivation at the Minor Perfection stage!

In other words, these people in front of us are probably all grandmasters!

The thought had just arisen,

He heard the Golden Armored Being marvel at this:

"It's been many years since I've seen Human Treasure. The last time was when I was hunting a deity from the Mandala System; I saw a ritual bowl made from a young girl's skull. It was indeed quite mysterious."

What are we hunting?

Niu Dali's mind suddenly went blank for a moment.

Then another refined-looking middle-aged man spoke up immediately:

"The craftsmanship of this Human Treasure is rather crude, as if it was hastily made. I suspect it might have come from a Buddhist disciple of the Mandala System?"

Su Qiansuan carefully examined the jar, then nodded:

"There's the aura of the Six-Armed Mahakala. It seems to come from the Wrathful Buddha's Child? The Six-Armed Mahakala is no ordinary being; he is a [Great Divine Ability User] who has attained the third stage of the Divine Path and achieved the Bodhisattva Fruit Position."

After pausing for a moment, he sighed:

"I wonder if I will ever have the chance to glimpse the realm of Great Divine Ability User in my lifetime. I have already wasted three thousand years at the Venerable level."

Niu Dali was stunned, hearing the Golden Armored Being sighing over the middle-aged man:

"Governor Su, once you successfully make the Golden Province independent and take control of the Golden World, you'll likely be able to enter the realm of powerful beings in one step, right? At that time, with the support of the Golden World, you might even be able to contend with those of Great Divine Ability User."

Governor General?

Niu Dali felt a little dizzy—who exactly were the people Zhang Fusheng was in contact with?

What makes him worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with someone like that?

Niu Dali couldn't understand it. Was it because he was a junior disciple?

Even so, it's still quite bizarre.

The thought had barely crossed my mind.

He saw the middle-aged man and the Golden Armored Being turn their heads at the same time, and say in unison:

"Brother Zhang, what are your plans next?"

Niu Dali twitched the corner of his mouth, suddenly not wanting to think about anything anymore—he had been wondering if he could take this opportunity to escape and find freedom anywhere.

Run away my ass.

But on what grounds??

Niu Dali was somewhat dazed, but he still remembered what Zhang Fusheng looked like when he first met him three or four months ago. He was an ordinary person with no cultivation and who was reckless. He entered the Martial Arts Academy to study and even knew Visualization Method.

How long has it been???

His worldview completely collapsed.

At the same time.

Zhang Fusheng also came to his senses. The third realm of the Divine Path, Great Divine Ability User?

The Fruit Position.

He felt a chill run down his spine. The Fruit Position a Bodhisattva was not the same as a Heavenly position. The Fruit Position a Bodhisattva meant that even in the old world, one would be qualified to serve as a Bodhisattva on Mount Ling!

At best, I am just a minor general.

Shaking his head, Zhang Fusheng calmly said:

"My own plan is to use the special bloodline within this Human Treasure as bait to target the true form of the God of Plague, but how to kill him is still up to Miss Mingyue."

A soft, elegant voice rang out from inside the carriage:

"Although I am only a Great Power, if I use my full strength and some of the methods left by my master, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill a Great Shentong Master."

"Of course, we still need to rely on Young Master Zhang's ability to Devour Everything, to see if we can temporarily swallow the position of the God of Plague, so that He will temporarily no longer hold the power over the plague."

Zhang Fusheng's expression was solemn:

"It's dangerous, but I'm confident that even if I fail, I can protect myself."

"Since that's the case..."

The Miss Mingyue nodded:

"Let's begin then."

"Be careful not to sever the divine embryo that has descended to earth. If all is accomplished, this divine embryo will become the main body of the God of Plague, and since it has fallen to this place, you may be able to try to subdue it."

Both venerable ones nodded cautiously, their gazes becoming intense.

Great Divine Ability User reverse-slaying!

If the mission is truly accomplished, how should the Plague Heavenly Position be distributed?

The two venerable ones wisely refrained from asking questions, knowing that the main force this time was the mysterious Miss Mingyue.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The carriage rolled on, and the group left the Chongshan Heaven and Earth. When they reappeared, they were in the [Dragon Boat Heaven and Earth], the closest place to Jiangzhou.

Within the Longzhou City, Shi Zhengyuan was startled. He grasped his Nine-Ringed Zen Staff, looked up, and the first thing he saw was the Living Buddha, walking down from the void.

His face lit up with joy, but it immediately froze.

Shi Zhengyuan saw a Golden Armored Being, resembling the sun, following closely behind, along with an ancient-looking carriage, and accompanied by the current Golden Governor!

Old Shi stared in disbelief, a bewilderment akin to that of Niu Dali).

How did the Living Buddha become someone on par with the Golden Governor?

Confused,

The group did not linger on the dragon boat, but instead embarked on the waterway to Jiangzhou, accompanied by Shenguang, Immortal Flower, Miaoyin, and others, and sailed away until they disappeared from sight.

Shi Zhengyuan remained stunned for a long time, clutching his Nine-Ringed Zen Staff, and suddenly sighed:

"Is the Lingshan lineage finally about to rise again?"

He gazed at the waterway leading to Jiangzhou, and with the blessing of the Buddhist kingdom, he could see a faint, radiant light emanating from the land of Jiangzhou.

At the same time, the Living Buddha's familiar voice also rang out.

"Plague."

"Now that I have come to see you in person, is anything different?"

Loud laughter echoed from the Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou.

The sounds echoed not only throughout Jiangzhou, but also from dragon boats, spring thunder, and Tianhu Lake.

Numerous lower-level cities and bubble worlds heard this great news, and even powerful figures from the Waiting Area and the remaining six higher-level cities looked towards it.

Perhaps the strongest member of a primordial Lineage, or perhaps an ancestor of Celestial Person Lineage—

At this moment, Zhang Fusheng had no more scruples and no longer concealed anything.

Chongyang has already broken away from the Golden Province and fallen into the Shishan Plateau. Nothing that happens here will reach the other side.

I, too, am about to leave.

"Plague, answer me!"

The heavenly sound continued to reverberate. Within Longzhou City, some people, like Lu Yao and Zhong Yue, felt puzzled. They both thought the voice was familiar, like Zhang Fusheng's.

But how could it be Zhang Fusheng?

However.

A loud voice, filled with intense killing intent, rang out at this moment, originating from Jiangzhou, from a deity who had descended to earth.

"Zhang Fusheng?"

"How dare you come to see me in person?"

Amidst the great sound, a blood-red light shot into the sky, rising from the Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou, illuminating twenty or thirty bubble-shaped heavens and earths in a crimson glow!

The only response He received was a brief, solemn voice.

"Plague"

"I have come to collect a debt."

"Today I return to my hometown, and I will kill you."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou was completely engulfed by a dazzling light, like an abyss.

If someone were to look into the distance, they could only vaguely see a figure expanding, hundreds of feet, thousands of feet, tens of thousands of feet!

Then, it must be even bigger than ten thousand feet!

More than just a towering figure, standing at the border between the dragon boat and Jiangzhou, with the Great Sun Halo hanging behind his head, stepping through the rolling black mist, embracing the entire Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou, and then...

He took a big bite out of Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou!
