Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1213: Miracles Will Be By Your Side

In the Multiverse Void, the blazing star river was exceptionally dazzling.

Fang Zheng stared at the infinitely burning world before him and reached out his hand. As he moved, a fireball the size of a meteorite quickly flew out from the burning sea and headed towards Fang Zheng, crashing into his body.

The next moment, an endless stream of scorching power abruptly drilled into Fang Zheng’s body. Soon, the surface of his body began to gradually turn black, his skin tightened, then cracked and split open. Flames gushed out, and intense pain radiated from inside to outside. In the blink of an eye, Fang Zheng had turned into a man on fire......

”—————!!”

When Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

”Phew...... This was truly torture......”

Fang Zheng tried to raise his hand, but he couldn’t move his arm at all. His whole body was burning with pain, as if he was being cut apart alive.

Since receiving the system, this was the first time Fang Zheng experienced such pain, even more painful than when he transformed from a human to a Swarm body.

But for him, it was something he had no choice but to do.

Although Fang Zheng spoke lightly to others, the reality was that accomplishing all this was extremely difficult.

This time, the system did not assign a task to Fang Zheng, which meant that after completing a task, the Dimensional Codex would not automatically handle the remaining issues.

To completely resolve everything, Fang Zheng had to take matters into his own hands.

He needed divine power.

Not divine power from the Ritual Snake, but a power truly of his own!

Of course, in terms of power, Fang Zheng was not lacking. He had once burned a world, having enough firewood. Only these logs were unprocessed ”raw materials,” to imbue them with divine power, they must be processed.

Therefore, Fang Zheng thought of the method to switch his Soulstone to the state of the Ritual Snake, then use it to ”process” his firewood and inject it into his body.

It’s somewhat like the trope in many magic novels where one steals divine power to become a god. However, for Fang Zheng, this wasn’t stealing but rather exchanging.

Just like having a bunch of RMB, you want to exchange it for US Dollars to use, you have to go to the bank. Of course, due to factors like exchange rates, there would definitely be losses, but at least the exchanged currency could be used universally, right?

But...... the cost was quite high.

No matter how formidable Fang Zheng’s body was, it was ultimately the body of a mortal. Even as a Time Dragon, it wasn’t a divine body. Precisely for this reason, each fusion with divine power felt to Fang Zheng like being roasted alive from inside out, only his Time Dragon resilience to some extent resisted the side effects of divine power. Otherwise, if he were simply human, his spirit might not yet collapse, but his body would have already.

But even so, Fang Zheng was having a hard time enduring.

”Meow...... Meow......”

At this moment, a little kitten walked over, meowing and rubbed its head against Fang Zheng’s face. Fang Zheng turned his head and kissed the adorable kitten.

Ah, indeed, cat cuddling is the best way to recover energy, even just feeling the soft body of the kitten nuzzling against his cheek, Fang Zheng could feel the pain dissipating...... Ah, seriously, cat cuddling is so magnificent, once I become a god, I must choose cats as the symbol of the Church!

A moment later, Fang Zheng felt much better, so he managed to scoop the kitten up and held it in his arms, closing his eyes.

For now, the minimum requirement for implementing the plan was achieved, what came next was experimentation.

After all, this was about changing an entire world’s order; it couldn’t be released without any testing.

Otherwise, what if there’s a blue screen crash requiring demand changes?

But for now...... let me rest properly first.

Thinking about this, Fang Zheng entered a slumber, holding the kitten in his arms. The kitten quietly watched Fang Zheng close his eyes, not making a sound.

Until Fang Zheng fell into a deep sleep, the kitten finally let out a ”meow”.

Hearing the meow, the little white cat on the other side peered out of its nest with a displeased expression, looking at the kitten. But facing the little white cat, the kitten wasn’t as obedient and cute as it was before Fang Zheng. It extended its front paw, patting Fang Zheng, then glanced at the little white cat.

Watching this scene, the little white cat also let out a helpless ”meow”, then leaped onto the headboard. It then opened its mouth and gently breathed towards Fang Zheng.

The next moment, a cool icy breeze wafted over Fang Zheng’s body, easing his sore and inflamed torso considerably. After doing all this, the little white cat swaggered back to its nest, curling up once again.

Seeing this, the kitten flicked its tail, then burrowed into Fang Zheng’s pajama chest, closing its eyes.

Serene melodies echoed in the air.

When Fang Zheng opened his eyes once more, he was surprised to find he wasn’t lying in bed but sitting in a luxurious and elegant room. Nearby, a player was playing tranquil classical music, and in front of him were sweets and red tea.

Moreover, sitting before him was a familiar figure.

”Long time no see, teacher.”

Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng looked up and saw a girl sitting opposite him. She was wearing a lavish black and white dress, her long dark blue hair cascading down her back, and she looked about eleven or twelve years old with deep purple eyes full of intellectual and mysterious allure.

But to Fang Zheng...

”Rika?”

Indeed, the girl in front of Fang Zheng was none other than Furutega Rika, whom Fang Zheng had met long ago in the World of Cicada’s Song. In fact, after resolving the crisis in the World of Cicada’s Song, Fang Zheng would occasionally visit there to chat and play with his first batch of students. Of course, he had considered bringing Rika and Satoko to the Heavenly Dao Palace, but ultimately decided it was best to leave it for later.

Anyway, time isn’t synchronized between each world and the Main World.

”Teacher still remembers me, that makes me really happy~ miipaa.”

As she spoke, Furutega Rika playfully clenched her fist and struck a cat-like cute pose to Fang Zheng.

Seeing the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng furrowed his brows.

”Is this... a dream?”

”That’s right, teacher is dreaming.”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Furutega Rika gave a serene and enigmatic smile.

”But, dreams aren’t just dreams... I’ve seen how hard teacher is working, so I want to cheer you on.”

”Then thank you.”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also raised his teacup, smiling as he thanked Rika in front of him. However, what puzzled Fang Zheng was that Rika seemed a bit different from how he usually saw her...

”No need to thank me, teacher.”

In response to Fang Zheng’s gratitude, Rika smiled gently. Then Fang Zheng noticed a cat tail suddenly appear behind Rika, which wrapped around to pour a cup of tea.

One had to admit, it was very cute.

”But... teacher, do you really think you’ll succeed?”

”There’s no way to know for sure. Frankly, it’s my first time too.”

Fang Zheng swirled the tea in his cup, leisurely leaning back on the sofa. Of course, rationality told Fang Zheng that Rika shouldn’t be here, shouldn’t appear in his dream, and more so not in this unusual form. To be honest, the current Furutega Rika didn’t give Fang Zheng the feeling of the little girl who always went ”miipaa miipaa” cutely, nor the girl trapped in endless cycles, nearly in despair.

She gave Fang Zheng an unprecedented feeling, one that was mysterious and optimistic, but Fang Zheng didn’t dwell too much on it.

After all, this was just a dream, wasn’t it?

”Anything can go wrong, I’ve considered the various problems. No one can write perfect code from the start, unless they’re a fraud.”

”Then why, teacher, do you want to do this?”

Putting down the teacup, Rika looked curiously at Fang Zheng.

”The children of this world have nothing to do with you, teacher, right?”

”Indeed, but, how should I say this...”

At this, Fang Zheng paused for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.

”If I can help, I still want to lend a hand.”

”Even if it causes you such pain?”

”This hasn’t exceeded my capabilities, besides, it’s something I would eventually have to do.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand.

”I never do things beyond my abilities, but as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll try to do my best. As for the outcome...”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his teacup as if in salute.

”I’ll leave it to fate and miracles then.”

”Teacher, you’re really an interesting person.”

The next moment, Furutega Rika, who had been sitting opposite Fang Zheng, suddenly appeared behind him. She reached out, wrapped her arms around Fang Zheng’s neck, and pressed her lips to his ear. Fang Zheng could even feel the unique fragrance and gentle breathing of the girl.

And thus, Rika stayed close to Fang Zheng’s ear, then murmured softly, speaking in a low voice.

”Then... let me grant you... the blessing of miracles...”
