Gate of God

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chi You was obviously Chi You.

There were only two options for those who faced him: surrender or die.

There wasn’t another option. Furthermore, Chi You would never give a person too much time to consider. This was true even though Fang Zhengzhi’s words had piqued his interest.

After all, it only piqued his interest just a little.

It seemed complicated, but one could figure it out fairly easily.

When a person was strong enough to rule the entire world, would he care if his underlings were powerful or not?

To put it bluntly, you have no bargaining chips at all. Even if there is some value in using you, it is basically negligible.

That was how Chi You ruled. He was a dictator.

“The sky… Is falling?!”

“…”

The Godly Beasts and Demons started panicking because they also felt that immense pressure that left them gasping for air as the sky was falling.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the sky that was falling, and he clenched Xuanyuan Sword tightly.

He was rarely serious about anything, but this time, there was an unmatched determination and unbreakable resolve on his face.

In a certain sense, he could run away. However, Wu Yuer and the rest couldn’t. Moreover, where could he run to?

Out of Changyang Mountain?

As long as he was alive, the battle against Chi You was unavoidable.

“Xuanyuan Five, protect Yan’er and the rest, as well as Nangong Mu. Follow my lead, I will… Tear the sky open!” As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he had already started moving.

He turned into a stream of golden light and rushed towards the blood-red sky.

“Tear the sky open?!” Xuanyuan Five was stunned.

For the first time, he saw the late Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s shadow on Fang Zhengzhi. It was his unrivaled fortitude and the absolute responsibleness.

However, could he really tear it open?

He had doubts.

However, he didn’t hesitate.

That was because he had no other option at this moment. If the blood-red sky couldn’t be torn open, everyone would die.

He could only follow Fang Zhengzhi’s lead and charge straight ahead!

“Chi Guyan, Ping Yang, and the rest of you get on my back. Nangong Mu too. Hurry!” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five moved and lay his body down in front of Ping Yang and the rest.

“Ping Yang, let’s go!” Said Chi Guyan. Then, she leaped onto Xuanyuan Five’s back.

“Ok.” Ping Yang nodded and leaped onto his back as well. However, her attention had never shifted away from the golden radiance above her head.

She didn’t follow after Fang Zhengzhi rashly this time or even spout any nonsense. She had no idea if it was because she trusted him.

However, she knew that if Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t tear the sky open, and if he was going to die in front of her, she wouldn’t want to continue living.

“Nangong Mu, let’s go.” Yan Xiu glanced at Nangong Mu and nodded.

“…” Nangong Mu didn’t say a word. He was biting his lips tightly as he watched the golden radiance above his head. Ultimately, he still leaped onto Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five’s back.

Then, he was followed by Yun Qingwu, Wu Yuer, Mo Shanshi…

Everyone leaped onto Xuanyuan Five’s back and chased after the golden radiance rapidly under his protection.

Meanwhile, the Godly Beasts and Demons who were cowering on the ground raised their heads at this moment. Their expressions were complicated. There was a mixture of fear, contempt, disbelief, as well as some kind of hope.

Hum!

The sword didn’t stop buzzing.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t look down. He charged into the sky formed from the blood-red lightning at exceptional speed and started attacking it furiously.

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

One after another, bolts of lightning descended on him, but he destroyed all of them with Xuanyuan Sword.

However, there was too much lightning. To make things worse, they were falling at an increasing rate, rushing towards him from all directions just like a thunderstorm.

Eventually, Fang Zhengzhi’s back was hit.

Boom!

Fang Zhengzhi jerked. He felt an incomparably terrifying absorption force in the blood-red lightning, and it was going to suck his Origin Energy dry.

However, could it really suck him dry?!

“Break!” Instead of stopping, Fang Zhengzhi continued charging upwards, and he no longer defended himself from the lightning bolts with Xuanyuan Sword.

He aimed his sword forward.

Just as he said, he was going to tear the sky… Open!

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

There weren’t any unnecessary movements from beginning to end. He simply charged straight forward and destroyed the blood-red lightning in his way with Xuanyuan Sword.

Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was following closely behind him.

A bolt of lightning came for him.

Roar! Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five roared and swang his tail towards the lightning and shattered it.

He jerked from the powerful impact and absorption force.

However, he still stayed right behind Fang Zhengzhi and charged upwards instead of stopping. That was because he knew very well that he was already having a much easier time than Fang Zhengzhi.

Boom! Another lightning bolt descended. This time, it appeared directly above Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five’s back, as if it had teleported.

“Ping Yang, back off!” Someone uttered.

Chi Guyan made her move. There wasn’t any excessive movement, and she didn’t even use a weapon. She stuck out her right hand and pointed her finger towards the lightning.

Boom! The lightning bolt dissipated.

The clash created massive turbulence, and her silky hair fluttered in the wind.

“Hmm?” There was finally a small change in Chi You’s expression at this moment, and he intuitively glanced at Chi Guyan.

However, it was merely a quick glance.

Soon, he looked towards Fang Zhengzhi once again.

“Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s reincarnation? Hmph!” Chi You snorted and placed his six arms together, following which, a crackling and rattling noise was heard.

As that happened…

The lightning in the sky seemed to have been manipulated, and all of them started gathering before Fang Zhengzhi, stopping his way.

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

It sounded like a thunderstorm on Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

In a split second, he was struck by over a dozen lightning bolts, and even his long blue robe was charred by the lightning.

“Chi You, can you not f**king destroy my clothes? Are you blind? Can’t you see that there are women behind me?!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted loudly, swinging Xuanyuan Sword in a growingly wild manner.

However, his clothes were soon destroyed, and he gradually became butt-naked. He wasn’t too fair as his skin was a little charred.

“…”

“…”

The Godly Beasts and Demons were speechless.

‘So, this guy actually cares about his dignity under these circumstances?’

‘God knows how his mind works.’

‘Under these circumstances, shouldn’t he be completely focused on destroying the lightning in his way?’

“Shameless thief, your butt is showing.” After Chi Guyan obliterated another lightning bolt with her finger, she softly took a shot at Fang Zhengzhi.

“…”

“…”

The expression on the Godly Beasts and the Demons suddenly turned weird.

‘So, it turns out that Fang Zhengzhi isn’t the only one whose brain is wired differently. Chi Guyan too? But why would she say something that could easily distract him at this moment?’

While they were thinking about that…

They heard an angry cry once again.

“Chi You, f**k you! My ass is now exposed. I’ll never forgive you for that!” It was naturally Fang Zhengzhi who said that.

When they heard that, an intense golden radiance lit up the sky.

It turned into a dazzling sun.

It was Xuanyuan Sword.

However, as compared to before, Xuanyuan Sword had become incredibly large. The mountains and rivers on its body became clearly visible.

Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was hugging the gigantic Xuanyuan Sword and swinging it wildly at the sky.

Rumble!

Rumble…

“…”

It was as if two massive waves had collided.

The lightning that headed for Fang Zhengzhi was almost completely torn apart by the massive Xuanyuan Sword. There was only a gap big enough for Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five to pass through at the beginning, but it expanded by over ten times instantly.

After all, Xuanyuan Sword became way too huge.

It looked like Sun Wukong stirring the Eastern Ocean with his Golden Cudgel.

“…”

The Godly Beasts and Demons were completely dumbfounded.

This was too shocking to behold. They truly didn’t expect Fang Zhengzhi to ‘work his ass off’ because of a single sentence.

Rather, it couldn’t be called ‘working his ass off’ anymore…

He went berserk!

It was so exaggerated.

They couldn’t believe how terrifying Fang Zhengzhi was after he went berserk.

That wasn’t even the main thing. Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was expending his energy ten times faster by increasing the range of his attacks by ten times.

Ten times?!

How ridiculous was that?

The blood-red lightning wasn’t just extremely powerful. More importantly, its absorption force was terrifying.

‘Withstanding such an attack and its absorption force…’

‘Isn’t that fellow worried about dying of exhaustion?!’

“Insane, this guy has really gone insane!”

“If he preserves his strength, there might actually be a slim chance of making it out. However, if he keeps wasting his energy like that…”

“There won’t be any hope at all!”

The Godly Beasts and Demons all felt that Fang Zhengzhi didn’t just go insane. He might have become dumb too.

Chi You also squinted with astonishment at this moment.

In a certain sense, he was actually a little surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s strength and ferocity. After all, he had already metamorphosed.

The ancient war…

That was the only defeat he ever tasted in his life…

Before that war, he conquered and united Jiu Li with absolute power, and he even became the strongest person within both the Monster Race and Demon Race.

However, he was defeated in that war.

Indestructibility!

It was the ability that he relied the most on. Yet, his physical body, which was as tough as iron and steel, couldn’t win him that war.

As Fang Zhengzhi had speculated, he was actually considered dead in a certain sense. However, he didn’t die at the hands of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

Although he was defeated, his enemies didn’t manage to kill him. He escaped, carrying a strong resentment, unable to accept his defeat. It took every last bit of his strength to escape the battlefield.

However, by that time, he was already severely wounded, and both the Monster Race and Demon Race had surrendered to the humans. Mankind ruled the world, and Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang had successfully won everything.

He wanted to launch a counter-attack, but he couldn’t possibly do it alone. Moreover, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang had already come up with a way to suppress him.

Failure?

How could he accept his failure so easily?!

Facing despair, he knew that there was only one chance to turn defeat into victory.

It was the Source of God!

However, now that the entire world had been amalgamated, how could he have any shot at occupying the Source of God? Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang would never allow him to absorb natural Reiki in the Source of God. They would definitely kill him.

Luckily, after the war, the Cosmic Disaster dawned on the world and brought it to ruin.

During that time, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang couldn’t spend any time and effort on hunting him down. That gave him a final glimmer of hope.

Yun Qingwu’s speculation was right. He did intend to make use of the Land of the Source of God’s miraculous ability to quickly heal himself. However, there was a slight deviation from his plan.

The Source of God was the Eye of Heaven and Earth, and it was where all the reiki energy gathered.

Did he want to devour the Source of God?

That was ridiculously difficult.

Chi You tried his best for a long time, but he didn’t succeed.

Just then, Mother Earth led the three races and successfully stopped the Cosmic Disaster, restoring peace in this world.

Most importantly…

Both Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang didn’t die!

They weren’t imprisoned in the galaxy, unlike the others. Instead, they brought Mother Earth, who had lost all her strength, to the Source of God.

They were thinking of the same thing as him. They wanted to use the Land of the Source of God’s reiki to restore Mother Earth’s strength.

“…”

At that moment, Chi You’s heart crumbled.

With his injured body, he attempted a final struggle, but his effort ended in vain. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang defeated him once again.

“…”

Chi You was desperate, so he resorted to his last tactic…

Mutual assured destruction!

He unleashed all of his Demonic Energy and blew himself up in an attempt to kill Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Mother Earth.

In the end, he only managed to kill Mother Earth.

However, to his surprise, he discovered that his soul actually started fusing with the Source of God!

Part of his broken soul fused with the Source of God after he blew himself up and became one with it. In other words, he was the Source of God, and the Source of God was him.

At that moment, he was incredibly joyous.

That was because he sensed an enormous amount of vitality and saw the hope of victory. He was certain that he could rebuild his body in a decade or so and fight against Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang again.

He would take back everything that he had lost.

Then…

There was no then.

While he was happily waiting for that day to come, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang came back. And this time, they brought alone Emperor Yan’s strongest warrior, Xing Tian.

On that day, he watched a ‘blockbuster film’.
