“Go to sleep, Chi You. You can’t resist it!” Chi You didn’t care about Chi You’s opinion. Would he stop just because Chi You asked him to?
He must do it!
All of the black branches reached for Chi You.
One of his arms was entangled instantly.
The black branches on Chi You’s right leg and one of his arms kept creeping towards his body, rendering him immobile.
If it wasn’t for his overly massive body, he would have long been entangled completely.
“Fang Zhengzhi, you’re pushing me too far!” Chi You was panicking. He was overwhelmed by fear, and countless images appeared in his mind in an instant.
It was the ancient battlefield – bloody and ruthless.
He once stood at the top of the world. He won countless battles and conquered the powerful Jiu Li Settlement. Furthermore, he defeated Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan again and again.
If Xuan Nv of the Nine Heavens hadn’t appeared so suddenly, he would have become the ruler of the world since a long time ago.
Tens of millions of years of imprisonment…
He waited underneath Changyang Mountain alone, and finally, after waiting for tens of millions of years, he successfully managed to escape.
Back to where he came from?
How could he accept that?
He didn’t even want to be imprisoned for another second, much less tens of millions of years.
That kind of pain, loneliness, and despair…
He’d never want to relive that moment again.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I won’t forgive you!” Yelled Chi You. Then, his entire body actually shrank by half.
In the meantime, he seemed to have gone through a metamorphosis, and a gigantic meatball fell out of his body.
The meatball transformed.
It turned into another Chi You in an instant.
“…” Fang Zhengzhi was shocked. ‘What’s going on? Is he giving birth?’
Even Chi Guyan and the rest were startled. ‘Chi You split into two?’
Chi You’s body did shrink proportionately.
However, what exactly was going on?
While everyone was confused and dumbfounded, Chi You started splitting once again. Two turned into four, and four turned into eight. Yet, that wasn’t the end.
His body also shrank continuously in the meantime.
Eventually…
The sky was full of Chi You’s bodies.
81!
There were 81 Chi You.
“Chi You’s brothers?!”
“Could his brothers actually be Chi You himself?!”
“…”
The Godly Beasts and Demons were stunned.
They had actually seen this before during the ancient times. However, they thought that they were Chi You’s brothers back then.
But now, they realized the truth.
The 81 brothers were actually the same person.
They were all Chi You.
“Fang Zhengzhi, you can’t imprison me!” Instead of fighting, Chi You started escaping in all directions after he split into 81 bodies.
“Trying to run?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned.
He thought that Chi You was going to challenge him to a final fight after splitting into 81 bodies. He didn’t expect him to run.
‘Leaving behind one of his bodies so that the rest could get away?’
“Chi You, you can’t get away!” Fang Zhengzhi stopped holding back when he saw that Chi You was going to run away. Origin Energy started pouring out of his body.
“Mountain!”
“Mountain!”
“…”
As he shouted continuously, countless mountains started appearing out of nowhere. Every five mountains turned into a Five Elements Formation, and he actually created 81 Five Elements Formation in just a mere moment.
“…”
“…”
The Godly Beasts and Demons were completely speechless.
Chi You was also stumped. He had never expected that Fang Zhengzhi was capable of trapping all of his 81 bodies.
He wasn’t going to show him any mercy.
Although Chi You knew that if they swapped positions, he also wouldn’t let Fang Zhengzhi escape, he still panicked.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi had already made his move.
Since Chi You’s body became smaller due to the splitting, the black tree branch could imprison his body quickly now.
“Ah!” The first Chi You let out a scream and fell to the ground.
He was followed by the second one.
The third one…
As Fang Zhengzhi moved, seven or eight of Chi You’s bodies became imprisoned by the black branch in just a couple of seconds and fell back into the lava underneath Changyang Mountain.
That wasn’t the end.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi didn’t stop.
“Still trying to run?” Fang Zhengzhi wouldn’t give Chi You an opportunity to escape because if he did, the entire world would be doomed.
Chi You’s face turned blacker and blacker.
He was growing weaker as Fang Zhengzhi imprisoned more and more of his bodies. He knew that he would really be imprisoned if this went on.
“Fang Zhengzhi, do you want to imprison me to protect this world? Well… Very well. In that case, I’ll destroy this world and drag you down to hell with me!” Chi You’s eyes were red as blood.
He didn’t want to be imprisoned.
He’d rather die.
Therefore, he had chosen to die and destroy the world together with himself.
Boom!
One of Chi You’s bodies blew up.
It was self-destruction.
It was completely different from being killed. All of his Demonic energy was released, and even his soul was destroyed, along with any hope of resurrecting himself in the future.
That massive explosion shook heaven and earth.
“What?!”
“Chi You is actually committing suicide?”
“What is he trying to do?”
The Godly Beasts and Demons were horrified.
For some reason, after Chi You blew himself up, they could clearly sense something wrong in the sky above Heaven Zen Mountain.
“Chi You’s body and soul have fused with the Source of God. Through self-destruction, he wants to destroy the Source of God, and in turn, destroy the world!” Yun Qingwu replied.
“Destroy the world?!”
“…”
Both Ping Yang and Yan Xiu were shocked.
Chi Guyan clenched her fists at this moment.
That was right.
If Chi You was really going to self-destruct, he would definitely die. However, the entire world would also be obliterated.
Boom! There was another explosion.
Another one of Chi You’s bodies blew up.
Heaven and earth finally started trembling. Bolts of lightning flashed across the sky as if it was being ripped open.
Boom!
Boom!
“…”
Chi You had clearly gone mad.
His bodies in the lava, which had already been imprisoned, exploded and cracked the ground open. Lava surged into the air and splattered in all directions.
The trees in the distance were ignited by the lava and turned red-hot.
In the meantime, the bloody sun in the sky started to darken and it gradually turned black, as if there was a solar eclipse.
“We have to stop him!”
“If we don’t, Cosmic Disaster will befall the world once again!”
“The ancient tragedy will repeat itself and the world will be turning into living hell!”
The Godly Beasts and Demons were terrified.
However, who could stop Chi You from blowing himself up?
Self-destruction was enabled by one’s mind. Even though Fang Zhengzhi could seal Chi You’s body and power up, it was impossible for him to control his thoughts.
As long as Chi You wanted to blow himself up, no one could stop him.
Boom! The ground cracked.
Boiling lava was surging out of the ground and spreading towards all directions like a flood. Meanwhile, the bloody sun in the sky had become as dark as a massive black hole.
Soon, a tiny black spot appeared below the black hole.
The tiny black spot was getting bigger and bigger.
Then, it burst into flames.
Boom! The ground cracked open in the distance. A gigantic asteroid descended from the sky and left an enormous crater in the ground.
“The Cosmic Disaster is upon us!”
“The world is really going to be destroyed!”
“…”
The Godly Beasts and Demons went into hysterics.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi was staring at the asteroid that had fallen from the sky, and his mind was occupied with countless thoughts.
‘The Cosmic Disaster is upon us?’
‘Is this the Cosmic Disaster that occurred during ancient times?’
‘Isn’t this damn thing actually the legendary meteorite shower?’
He clearly remembered that there was an era before the human civilization was formed, which was called the Mesozoic Era in his previous world.
That era was ended by a meteorite shower.
The ancient Cosmic Disaster…
Was a meteorite shower!
This seemed to be the clash of the two worlds’ cultures. In this world’s context, this was the inescapable Cosmic Disaster that would destroy the world.
However, according to the explanation in his previous world, the Cosmic Disaster is a meteorite shower.
“I got it, I got it!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes suddenly lit up. He finally realized that there weren’t two different worlds. They were the same world, in the sense that they were in the same universe.
The earth was shaking, and lava surged out of the ground. That led to certain fundamental changes in the world. For example, its gravity.
Do you know about Newton’s law of universal gravitation?
The world’s gravity changed. It became incredibly strong, thus attracting the meteorites in the galaxy. That was why they slammed into the earth.
This was science!
It came from studying!
How could you understand science without studying?
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt lucky that he studied enough to understand the true nature of the Cosmic Disaster, as well as the fundamental principles of the world.
“Chi You, you can’t destroy the world!” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned aggressive and charged towards Chi You, who was in the process of blowing himself up.
“Fang Zhengzhi, you’re courting death!” Chi You was both surprised and overjoyed when he saw Fang Zhengzhi charging towards him.
He was surprised that Fang Zhengzhi was digging his own grave by approaching him.
He was overjoyed because once he killed Fang Zhengzhi, he could still regain his strength even though 90% of his body was destroyed. It meant that one day, he would become the ruler of the world.
“Die!”
The body that was closest to Fang Zhengzhi exploded.
The massive impact rushed towards Fang Zhengzhi like an ocean wave.
However, with a simple wave of his hand, Fang Zhengzhi absorbed the impact. It disappeared without a trace almost instantaneously.
“How’s that possible?” Chi You was dumbfounded.
Unwilling to give up, he blew up another body.
Boom!
The same thing happened.
In the meantime, he suddenly discovered that he was losing his strength rapidly. It felt like something in his body was being stripped away.
It was completely stripped away from both his body and soul.
Chi You turned incredible pale immediately.
That was because it was the Source of God.
The Source of God, which had fused with his body and soul, was actually being stripped away from him, and its power was gradually taken from him.
Lava was still surging out of the ground.
However, Chi You’s heart had sunken to the pit of his stomach like a block of ice.
“Why? Why is this happening? I don’t understand, I don’t understand!” Chi You couldn’t believe it, and he didn’t want to accept the truth. He had no idea why this was happening.
“Do you know why you could fuse with the Source of God?” Fang Zhengzhi appeared in front of Chi You. He had already regained his composure.
“What… What are you talking about?”
“Everything in the world can change, and that includes the Source of God. You adapted to the Source of God’s changes at the appropriate time, hence the two of you fused into one.”
“I don’t understand. I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
“A tree could fuse with a rock. Similarly, a sword could fuse with another sword. As long as certain conditions, or rather, rules, are met, it could happen.”
“…” Chi You’s eyes became wide open.
“Taking two swords for example. Fusing them together is extremely simple. As long as you melt the swords with enough heat, they would naturally fuse with each other after they turn into molten metal. The same thing happened between you and the Source of God. Since you could fuse together, it’s only natural that the two of you could be separated.”
“What, what are you trying to do?” Chi You finally understood him a little.
“It’s actually very easy to kill you. As long as I find a way to separate the Source of God from you, you’d no longer be indestructible! This is the power of science!”
“Science? What’s that?!”
“You’ve never studied in your life, so you won’t understand. Remember this – if you ever reincarnate, master science because it’s very useful!”
Without further ado, Fang Zhengzhi placed his hand on Chi You.
Then, something strange happened. Chi You’s separated bodies began fusing into one once again at a terrifying rate.
Boom! Chi You’s body increased in size tremendously.
He became powerful again.
However, he was filled with despair. He didn’t know where he went wrong, and he also didn’t understand why Fang Zhengzhi was capable of doing that.
However, if a word could be used to describe his current feeling, it would be ‘scared’.
It came from the bottom of his soul.
“No!!! I want all of you to die me! Die with me!” Chi You yelled. He couldn’t accept that he was going to die at the hands of Fang Zhengzhi just like that.
However, Fang Zhengzhi’s hand had already made another move.
It was just like a giant vacuum, sucking the Source of God out from his body, stripping him of his power completely.
“You demon. You are a demon!” Chi You’s body was shrinking again, but unlike before, it wasn’t because he was splitting up.
He was truly decreasing in size.
His body was shrinking continuously because he was losing his power rapidly.
Eventually, a radiance that was as bright as the sun rushed out of Chi You’s body and lit up the bloody sun in the sky.
Source of God!
That was not the sun.
That radiance was the Source of God.
It was the source of life of all matters in the world, and also the source of all reiki. It nurtured and sustained everything in the world, and vice versa.
It was the endless cycle of life.
