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

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1333: Fang Zheng’s Official Speedrun攻略

How could mere three Miao Tribe soldiers be a match for Fang Zheng? With a sweep of flames, the three Miao soldiers were burned away. Faced with this sudden change, Little Zhao Ling’er stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened for a moment.

”Are you alright?”

Fang Zheng hurried over to the elderly woman, checked her carefully, and found a few wounds on her shoulder. Of course, this was no problem for Fang Zheng. He extended his hand and gently stroked her shoulder. Soon, with the power of time’s retrospection, her wounds healed immediately. Seeing this, Little Zhao Ling’er’s eyes widened in surprise, and the elderly woman’s expression tightened as she hastily stood up to give thanks.

”Thank you for saving my life.”

”No need to thank me... It’s the least I could do.”

Fang Zheng spoke, glancing at Little Zhao Ling’er beside the old woman, smiled at her. He had to admit Zhao Ling’er, dressed as a Miao girl, looked quite cute with a bit of exotic beauty. Honestly, Fang Zheng couldn’t see any difference between her and others after she grew up. Truly, clothes make the man, as the saddle does the horse...

Fang Zheng habitually drifted off in thought again.

But just at this moment, he saw Little Zhao Ling’er suddenly kneel before him, crying out.

”Please, Celestial Immortal, take me as your disciple!”

”What?”

The words from Zhao Ling’er left Fang Zheng stunned. However, before he could react, Zhao Ling’er continued speaking.

”The Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader has deceived my father, captured my mother, and I can’t beat him. Neither can Granny... So, please, Celestial Immortal, take me as your disciple. I want to learn skills to rescue my mother...”

So that’s how it is.

Hearing this, Fang Zheng finally understood why Zhao Ling’er wanted him as a master, but unfortunately... he couldn’t take Zhao Ling’er as his disciple.

It’s not because Fang Zheng had to consider time line constraints or anything. It’s because... he can only stay in this world for twenty minutes!

Perhaps because Fang Zheng, as the Time Dragon, belongs to an external species of the world, he could freely traverse the timeline but sensed a very strong resistance from the world’s timeline against him. Staying here for twenty minutes was his limit, so naturally, Fang Zheng couldn’t really stay to teach Little Ling’er.

”I can take you as a disciple, but sorry, I can’t teach you anything right now...”

He patted Little Ling’er’s head, smiled at her, then took out a gemstone from his pocket.

”Inside this are some... well, insights on spells that you can take a look at and study. Maybe it will have some wonderful effects.”

This gemstone was something Fang Zheng prepared on the airship. Zhao Ling’er definitely wouldn’t understand the Main World’s language, so giving her the Book of a Thousand Laws would be useless. Gemstones like this usually record the insights and learning summaries of spellcasters, which are easier to understand.

Looking at the gemstone in Fang Zheng’s hand, Little Ling’er nodded, reached out to take it, then solemnly bowed to Fang Zheng.

”Thank you, Master!”

”No need to thank me; it’s just a matter of time.”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked behind her. At this moment, the elderly woman had already summoned a Phoenix and walked over to Zhao Ling’er.

”Your Royal Highness, it’s time for us to go!”

”Okay.”

At the elderly woman’s words, Zhao Ling’er nodded, then obediently followed her onto the Phoenix. Just then, Little Ling’er seemed to think of something and looked back at Fang Zheng, shouting.

”Master, will we meet again in the future?”

”Of course, when you encounter danger, I’ll be there donned in golden armor, riding on a seven-colored cloud to save you...”

Saying this, Fang Zheng waved at Little Ling’er, who also smiled joyfully, waving back at him.

”Ah, by the way.”

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered something.

”You should tie your hair in twin tails; it’s cuter that way...”

However, before Fang Zheng could finish, the Phoenix had already taken Zhao Ling’er away. Watching her leave, Fang Zheng patted his forehead.

”What nonsense am I talking here... Never mind, it’s fate... Okay, next...”

Fang Zheng sensed, fifteen more minutes left!

So what to do with these fifteen minutes?

In the game, Li Xiaoyao traveled back for the Water Spirit Pearl, but Fang Zheng already had it, so no need to go through it again. And his time travel differed from Li Xiaoyao’s, so the next fifteen minutes... might as well defeat a boss quickly!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Yes, as the Time Dragon, Fang Zheng could feel that after saving Zhao Ling’er, the originally loose and broken timeline had ”stabilized” again. This meant that whatever he did here would be consolidated to the previous future in the timeline. So why not try to defeat a boss quickly?

For example, burn the Water Monster, save the Witch Queen, and take down the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader?

Of course, Fang Zheng knew he would definitely fail, but... as the Time Dragon, he wouldn’t naively attempt to change the past. On closer thought, it might actually be a good thing.

Look, if I burn the Water Monster in this timeline, I’d surely get plenty of firewood.

Logically, if I burn it once, the Water Monster is certainly doomed.

But if the timeline consolidates, then once I go back, I can burn it again!

A double gain, this is a profitable deal!

Let’s go!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng didn’t hesitate, flew up into the air, heading toward Nanzhao’s capital. Along the way, various scenes of tragedy were visible. After all, according to the plot, the Black Miao Tribe’s great king had been completely controlled by the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader, who slandered the Queen as a Yokai, inciting the Black Miao tribesmen to rise in rebellion, leading to rivers of blood.

Looking at the scene before him, Fang Zheng could only shake his head and sigh. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help maintain the past of the timeline, but... he really didn’t have enough time!

He didn’t see the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader outside Nanzhao Royal City’s walls, but he didn’t care. With his target locked, he descended from the sky, crashing directly into the Royal Palace!

”Boom!!”

Accompanied by the earth-shaking impact, the ground of the Royal Palace instantly collapsed by more than half. Dust flew in all directions, creating a cloud of mist.

”Cough, cough...”

Fang Zheng fanned away the dust before him and then looked around. Soon, he spotted the Witch Queen behind the iron bars, eyes wide open as she stared back at him.

”Who are you?”

The Witch Queen was utterly confused. She had been cowering in the corner, lamenting her fate, and then, just like that, the dungeon collapsed!

”Are you the Witch Queen?”

Looking at the woman before him, Fang Zheng asked, and the Witch Queen nodded instinctively. Without saying more, Fang Zheng kicked the iron door open and stepped in.

”Come on, I’m here to rescue you. Time is tight. Hurry and follow me.”

”Eh?”

At this, the Witch Queen was utterly stunned.
