Gate of God

“Is that important?” Fang Zhengzhi could not explain that it was the legend in his world, but that was not important for now.

The most important thing was the relationship between Xing Tian and the Source of God.

“Alright, there’s no purpose for me to hide anymore at this point. I can tell you that the battle on the Changyang Mountain was planned by Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.”Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five sighed and sounded as though he had troubles expression himself.

“Plan?” Fang Zhengzhi was shocked.

Apart from him, Ping Yang, Chi Guyan and the rest beside him widened their eyes.

Xing Tian was one of the highest-ranking generals under Emperor Yan’s rule.

Why did he kill Xing Tian on the Changyang Mountain?

This did not make sense at all.

“I knew that Xing Tian had the intention to revolt. Both Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang made use of this to lure Xuanyuan Five to the Changyang Mountain and severed his head while he was distracted. Then, they buried his head under the Changyang Mountain.” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five did not elaborate on the details.

This was not surprising.

After all, Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was the partner of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan. Some things might concern Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s reputation and he had to hide it.

“You mean Emperor Huang and Emperor Yan both lured Xing Tian to the Changyang Mountain intentionally, and Xing Tian did not choose to fight with Emperor Huang Xuanyuan at the Changyang Mountain?” Fang Zhengzhi noticed the problem at this point.

Luring to Changyang Mountain and choosing the Changyang Mountain were two completely different things.

“Hmm, that’s right, as for why he chose to lure Xuanyuan Five to the Changyang Mountain, I really do not know.” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five nodded slightly.

“Then let me ask you a question, was there the Source of God before Xing Tian died?” Fang Zhengzhi asked again.

“Yes!” affirmed Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.

“Seriously?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned.

In the past, he had made a brazen speculation that the Source of God was formed by Xing Tian, or a plot set by Xing Tian.

After all, this speculation could explain the reason why the Source of God was a restricted land.

However, Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five’s answer negated this possibility. If the Source of God appeared before Xing Tian had died, there was no direct link between the Source of God and Xing Tian.

The Source of God was not set up by Xing Tian.

However, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan purposely lured Xing Tian to the Changyang Mountain where the Source of God was for a fight and resorted to a sneak attack to severe Xing Tian’s head before burying it below the Changyang Mountain.

Wait…

If it was only because of Xing Tian’s intention to revolt, why didn’t Emperor Huang Xuanyuan kill Xing Tian right away?

Also, why did he spend so much effort slicing open the Changyang Mountain to bury Xing Tian’s head?

It was too strange!

This was not a tactic used to punish a “traitor”, or rather, it was not an ordinary tactic used to deal with a traitor.

“Shameless brat, have you figured it out?” Ping Yang blinked and asked when he saw Fang Zhengzhi keep silent.

“Yan’er, what about you?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan.

“If we listen to what senior Xuanyuan Five said, Xing Tian’s head was buried in the Changyang Mountain, it should be an intentional move made by Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan!” said Chi Guyan.

“Hmm, that’s what I said.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

“Intentionally?!”

“Intentional…”

“…”

Ping Yang, Yan Xiu and Mu Qingfeng frowned when they heard this.

Xuanyuan Five evidently did not want to bring up this story. Perhaps there were hidden truths in the story, but Xuanyuan Five might not know the details too.

After all, this concerned the reputation of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

“Senior Xuanyuan Five, I have a question. Why did you ask Fang Zhengzhi why he knew the name of the Changyang Mountain?” At this moment, Yun Qingwu finally spoke.

“This…” Xuanyuan Five hesitated.

“Is it because Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had instructed everyone to stop mentioning the name of the “Changyang Mountain” after Xing Tian died?” Yun Qingwu asked.

“How did you know?” Xuanyuan Five was shocked.

“Many descriptions were written in “An Ancient Handwritten Letter”. However, “Changyang Mountain” is not mentioned at all. The most mysterious place of the Source of God is a place where nobody knew the exact location of. I think this was perhaps the problem,” explained Yun Qingwu.

“…” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five fell silent.

Meanwhile, after hearing this, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up as though a query he had was being resolved.

“You mean Emperor Huang Xuanyuan did not want people to know about the “Changyang Mountain”?” Fang Zhengzhi spoke.

“Hmm, you guessed it too?” Yun Qingwu nodded. She was in Fang Zhengzhi’s arms and could feel the warmth at his chest area.

“I guessed some parts of it, but it’s not detailed enough…”

“If we put Changyang Mountain and the Source of God together, then link it to the restricted land, the explanation is easy,” reminded Yun Qingwu.

“Put Changyang Mountain and the Source of God together, then link it to the restricted land… I get it!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up suddenly after pondering over it.

“Understand what?” Ping Yang widened her eyes.

“No, Xing Tian cannot die!” Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed suddenly.

“…”

“What?!”

“Did you say that Xing Tian cannot die?”

“But he kills anyone he sees, be it monsters or demons. If we don’t kill him, he will kill us!”

Ping Yang, Mu Qingfeng and the rest looked confused and did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant.

Xing Tian exuded a murderous aura.

Moreover, he was killing Godly Beasts and demons.

His presence was a huge threat. If they did not kill Xing Tian, the entire world would perish.

“Don’t you get it? Xing Tian said ‘scram’, not ‘kill’,” said Fang Zhengzhi again as he looked at the confused individuals around him.

“What do you mean?”

“Do you mean that Xing Tian was chasing us away?”

“…”

Everyone was shocked.

“Hmm, if I am correct, the Source of God should be sealed by Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan. They did not want this place to resurface and hence intentionally removed the name of Changyang Mountain. However, they were afraid that the future generations discover the place unintentionally, therefore they designed the…” explained Fang Zhengzhi.

“Using Xing Tian to protect the Changyang Mountain?!” Changyang Mountain’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. “They buried Xing Tian’s head below the Changyang Mountain and did not kill him. They are trying to use Xing Tian to protect the Changyang Mountain so that nobody can get close!”

“So Xing Tian is the guardian of the Source of God?” Ping Yang blinked.

“Perhaps it’s not as simple as that. If Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang made this plan, perhaps there was a huge secret in this Source of God,” affirmed Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hmm, the shameless thief is right. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang did not mind sacrificing their reputation to lure Xing Tian to this place. There must be way more terrifying items beneath the Source of God!” Chi Guyan was very certain too.

“So what should we do now? Save Xing Tian?”Ping Yang still did not understand the full picture but understood what Fang Zhengzhi meant.

Xing Tian could not die!

He was guarding the Land of the Source of God.

Therefore, they should save him.

“Save Xing Tian?” Mu Qingfeng looked at a distance away. There was an extremely insane battle.

Dozens of Godly Beasts and almost 200 demons surrounded Xing Tian.

Be it the Godly Beast or the demons, they have formed a united team and sore to kill Xing Tian so the Source of God could reappear.

Blood splattered across the sky.

Blood splattered with every strike of Xing Tian’s gigantic ax. His gigantic shield blocked his gigantic body and prevented others from hurting him.

He was very brave and furious.

Xing Tian definitely lived up to the name of the ancient Battle God.

However, he was alone and surrounded by many Godly Beasts and Demons. He suffered some injuries inevitably.

For example, Kun Peng made use of his speed to tear a piece of meat from Xing Tian’s shoulder, causing blood to flow continuously from his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Qiong Qi and Tao Wu also became extremely violent.

Tao Wu became the main attacker after Qiong Qi was injured. He could slow Xing Tian down when he swayed his tail.

This gave chance to the other Godly Beasts and demons.

Especially after the twelve warlocks entered the battlefield, they made use of their gigantic body and powerful strength to fight against Xing Tian.

“How do we save him?” Chills went down Mu Qingfeng’s back when he saw this. The Godly Beasts and demons came to a common decision.

So many of them fought against Xing Tian together.

If they joined the battle now, they would either be killed by the Godly Beasts and demons or be slashed by Xing Tian’s ax.

After all, Xing Tian would not think that Mu Qingfeng was trying to save him.

Anyone who approached Xing Tian would be regarded as an enemy.

“Is Xing Tian out of his mind? He wants to fight against all the demons and monsters by himself?” Ping Yang sighed when she saw this. No matter how powerful one was, one was courting death by doing that.

“No, he is not out of his mind, he does not even have one.” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.

This was indeed a problem.

Xing Tian would not bother to differentiate between a friend and a foe. If one dared to approach him, he would dare to slash with his ax. If they got killed by saving Xing Tian, they would have died in vain.

“How do you think we can let Xing Tian know that we are his friends and not his enemy?” Yan Xiu frowned.

“I don’t think so.” Chi Guyan shook her head.

“Yun Qingwu, aren’t you the best at ideas? Think of one.” Ping Yang pouted as she looked at Yun Qingwu who was in Fang Zhengzhi’s arms.

“I don’t have any ideas.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

“You…” Ping Yang was very angry.

She felt that Yun Qingwu was targeting her on purpose. In the past when Fang Zhengzhi asked Yun Qingwu, she would always say that she had an idea. Now that Ping Yang asked her, Yun Qingwu “ignored” her?

How frustrating.

Yun Qingwu could tell the displease in Ping Yang’s eyes but decided to keep quiet.

That was because Yun Qingwu really had no idea.

Xing Tian was way too crazy and powerful. The only way to control Xing Tian was to defeat him.

However. in order to defeat Xing Tian…

It was too difficult.

If dozens of Godly Beasts and nearly 200 demons were unable to control Xing Tian, what could she do?

Everyone fell silent.

As what Yun Qingwu thought, Xing Tian did not differentiate between a friend and a foe. If they wanted to save Xing Tian, it would be equivalent to committing suicide. It was even more unlikely for Xing Tian to view them as a “friend”.

“Senior Xuanyuan Five, don’t tell me you can’t win Xing Tian too?” Ping Yang placed her hopes on Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.

“…” Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and said, “In the ancient era, Xuanyuan Five was the number one general of Emperor Yan. His power was comparable with Emperor Huang and Emperor Yan. Or else, why would Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan make use of their plot?”

“This…” Ping Yang was speechless.

She had witnessed how powerful Xing Tian was. Moreover, even after so many years, Xing Tian still exuded an intense murderous aura.

Xing Tian was so powerful that it was ridiculous.

He was able to fight against the various Godly Beasts and demons.

Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five definitely was unable to fight against him.

“So there is really no way to solve this problem?” said Heavenly Oasis Saint anxiously, “According to Zhengzhi, if Xing Tian died, a disaster will happen. We can’t possibly sit here and watch Xing Tian die?”

“However, Xing Tian did not differentiate between a friend and a foe, how can we help him?” Yan Qianli asked.

“…”

“…”

Nobody said anything.

That was because they came back to the topic after a huge round of discussion.

To save Xing Tian, they had to go against Xing Tian, demons and the Godly Beasts. With their current strength, the humankind could not afford to become three parties’ enemies.

Nobody said anything.

However, for some reasons, everyone looked at Fang Zhengzhi and waited for him to speak.

Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on the Traceless Sword.

The current battle had entered the fierce stage. They couldn’t separate Xing Tian and the Godly Beasts and the Demons. There was no way out.

It was too difficult.

Xing Tian’s friend…

How would someone without a head know who was his friend?

Unless…

Wait a minute!

“I got it!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up as a wild thought flashed across his mind.

“You thought of something?” Ping Yang was shocked.

“Shameless thief, what is your idea?” Chi Guyan was also shocked.

Besides them, Mu Qingfeng and the rest, including Yun Qingwu, were extremely shocked.

If Yun Qingwu was unable to think of anything, how did Fang Zhengzhi think of it?
