Gate of God

It was too strange.

If Fang Zhengzhi’s impression of the lady in the white dress was previously unclear, now, it became one that was strange beyond words.

The lady in the white dress seemed to have known everything. Most importantly, she said that she was a monster?!

“Jump,” said the lady in the white dress again.

“Are you sure I won’t die after I jump?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the red magma in front of him and felt fearful.

After all, it was magma and not warm bathwater, how could he survive if he jumped?

Only the God would believe in that.

“Other people will die.” The lady in the white dress nodded slightly and looked at Fang Zhengzhi. “But you won’t.”

“Can you give me a reason that is more believable?”

“You have the Thousand Years Fire Herb in your body. Is this reason sufficient?”

“…” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips twitched as he wanted to ask more questions, for instance, why could he survive if he had the Thousand Years Fire Herb? Or, was the Thousand Years Fire Herb still in his body?

That question seemed a little stupid.

In reality, however, Fang Zhengzhi felt that the Thousand Years Fire Herb had long been refined after he threw it into the Middle Stream Cauldron at the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

“Actually, you have a lot of things in your body: The Thousand Years Fire Herb, Penta-colored Wonder Flowers, Nine Cauldrons and The Vast World. However, you did not make use of them,” said the lady in the white dress after seeing how Fang Zhengzhi kept silent. However, she seemed to be talking to herself.

“Will they be used if I jumped in?”

“Perhaps.”

“Perhaps? I am gambling with my life and you are telling me ‘perhaps’?” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. How could he continue chatting with her?

“I mean, what and how much can be used entirely depends on you.” As the lady in the white dress was very clear of what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about, she explained to him again.

“Can I think about it first?”

“Sure, but you don’t have much time.”

“How much time do I have?”

“Three.”

“Three? What do you mean?”

“Two.”

“…” Fang Zhengzhi understood. Three meant that he had three seconds left.

“One.”

“Hold on, I have something to say!”

“See you later.”

“Erm?!” Fang Zhengzhi was just about to flee when he realized his body was flying into the sky uncontrollably.

He was not moving too quickly but what was thrilling was that he actually flew past the magma..

What the hell?!

Where on earth was he at?

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse. He already had the power to fight with a Godly State expert, yet in this world, he could not do anything to the lady in the white dress at all.

Moreover…

The lady in the white dress did not seem to bother about how Fang Zhengzhi jumped into the magma.

“Can I change a pose, I don’t want my face to be facing down!” Fang Zhengzhi made a final request as his face was about to touch the magma.

However, that did not seem to work.

His pose did not change and he was getting closer and closer to the magma. He could even feel the boiling hot air.

“… Ah, f*ck!” When Fang Zhengzhi shouted, he felt something boiling hot entering his mouth.

Bitter? Or salty? Or spicy? Or sweet?

Who f*cking knows!

Fang Zhengzhi only had one sensation. When it flowed into his mouth, his vision became red like fire.

Furthermore, a boiling hot wave continuously surged into his ears and nose. It was a sour feeling that he had never experienced before.

“Refine.” The lady in the white dress stood on the path filled with the magma and watched Fang Zhengzhi as he entered the magma. “Refine everything, Thousand Years Fire Herb, Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers, various herbs, Nine Cauldrons… When everything merged to become one with your body, you can then control everything in the world.”

As she said, the lady in the white dress sat down and waited quietly. It felt as though she was waiting for everything to start as well as everything to end.

Fang Zhengzhi clearly could not hear what the lady in the white dress said on the path. His body was entirely on fire.

From his organs to the blood, veins, muscles, every cell in him was burning as though they were on fire.

The pain penetrated all the way to his bones.

He felt like passing away but for some reason, his body could not be extinguished. After his original muscles turned into ashes, new muscles grew. After his blood was evaporated, new blood flowed.

It was endless and repeated in a cycle!

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi genuinely felt the feeling of ‘not being able to live or die’. It was so painful that he wanted to curse.

Of course, he had already cursed once.

Yet now, he seemed to have lost the right to curse because once he opened his mouth, the boiling hot magma flowed into his mouth.

“No, I must find a way to reduce the pain. If this continues, I probably would have died due to this torture.” Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid.

The more painful he felt, the more alert he had to be. Furthermore, he could clearly remember what the lady in the white dress said to him before he landed in the magma.

“What and how much can be used entirely depends on you.”

The meaning behind this sentence could not be clearer. If he endured the suffering without doing anything else, he would get very little out of it.

Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi remembered that the lady in the white dress said before that this was only the first location. Therefore, there were more locations…

That was the real frightening thing!

Fang Zhengzhi did not want to experience the same experience two or three times. He was someone who was afraid of pain, one experience like this was more than sufficient.

It was like having sex for the first time.

Pain was enjoyable!

“Looks like I have to be the one initiating!” As this thought struck Fang Zhengzhi, he closed his eyes completely and huddled up in the magma.

15 minutes…

30 minutes…

…

After a long time, Fang Zhengzhi finally moved again. He moved violently and his body jumped as though he was in spasm.

Meanwhile, the lady in the white dress looked at the turning waves in the magma and the spinning flow of heat.

“Looks like we failed. Let’s go to the second location then.” The lady in the white dress said softly and stood up gradually from the ground as she looked in a distance.

There was a light blue radiance at a distance away. It was slightly different from the magma in front of her and it looked extremely cold.

The lady in the white dress raised her hand and was just about to “lift” Fang Zhengzhi up from the magma when the spinning magma suddenly became calm.

“Hmm?” The lady in the white dress widened her eyes. She seemed to be deep in thought but she stopped her movement.

15 minutes…

Another 15 minutes…

The magma was as calm as water. Although the heatwave was still turning, there was no longer any movements underneath them.

“Once? Okay?” The lady in the white dress gradually withdrew her arm and her eyes glowed with radiance. She sat back down in her original position and closed her eyes as she waited patiently like how she did earlier on.

Meanwhile in the magma, Fang Zhengzhi was lying on his side in the heatwave.

It was a pose that did not need further description and it even felt like he was being lazy.

However, everything looked extremely natural. From head to toe, there was nothing that was not coordinated and felt like everything was perfectly fused together.

He gave up on the position that he thought was correct. His entire body was not in a glamorous position at all as he looked as though he was deep asleep..

However, in reality…

Fang Zhengzhi actually really fell asleep.

However, images flashed across his mind repeatedly. It was an image from his childhood when he was in a beautiful village.

There were children who grew up with him, his parents from this world, and a voice which always growled.

“Which idiot stole my Fire Plume Chicken again!”

“Fang Zhengzhi? Isn’t that just a chicken?” Upon seeing this, Fang Zhengzhi smiled.

Then, he saw a child flip out of the window in the middle of the night and raised his small fist.

“Haiya!” The child punched the green stone on the floor.

“Aiya, f*ck… it hurts!” Then, the child made noises in agony as he hopped back into the room while clutching his fist.

What a carefree childhood.

Oh right!

Controlling every single muscle, controlling every drop of blood, controlling every single cell…

Without knowing, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly remembered when he first accessed Dao, his body had gradually controlled, regenerated, disappeared, regenerated again, then disappeared…

When the blood was evaporated, new blood was formed. Similarly, his muscles, bones, every bit of his skin and hair.

Controlling everything.

Allowing everything to be controlled by him.

Buzz! Radiance flowed on Fang Zhengzhi’s body from head to toe, wrapping him inside as though his entire body was being rinsed by warm water before regeneration.

…

At the bottom of the cliff of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Ping Yang ran towards the Black Stone Palace while carrying Fang Zhengzhi. For some reasons, she felt that Fang Zhengzhi’s body was heating up and eventually felt as though she was hugging a fireball. However, she no longer cared about that.

Regardless of whether it was a boiling hot fireball or a freezing cold ice cube, she hugged onto it with her dear life, even though she was already drenched in sweat.

“Faster, faster!” Ping Yang mumbled as she ran. She was so fast that a faint shadow was left behind her.

She was getting closer and closer!

Soon, figures appeared in front of her. Although she was still a distance away, she knew she was reaching the Black Stone Palace soon.

At this moment, a few loud howls were heard. Then, a few figures wearing gold charged down from the sky.

“What is that?” Ping Yang did not see clearly. However, she no longer cared about that. Regardless of what happened in front of her, she had to rush over.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi could only be saved if she rushed to the camp of the Human Alliance at the fastest speed possible.

Soon, she was reaching soon!

As the figures in front of her became clearer, Ping Yang bit her lips and dashed towards the figures without slowing down.

“Yes, I have finally reached!” Ping Yang stopped because she had already reached the Black Stone Palace. In front of her stood a group of people who were masked with the black face cloth which had the word ‘God’ sewn on them.

The Human Alliance.

This was the symbol of the Human Alliance.

Ping Yang was very certain about this. Therefore, when she reached, she heaved a sigh of relief and her legs turned into jelly.

“Where is Dao Hun?! Where is Alliance Leader Dao Hun? Pavilion Master Mu? Valley Master Mo? Where are they? Help, Fang… Oh, no, Meng Tian… The real Sagely Battle God Meng Tian is injured, please save him!” Ping Yang engaged her muscles and stood up again as she walked quickly towards the figures.

As she spoke, all of the people turned around and looked at her.

“Meng Tian?!”

“That is Meng Tian?!”

“The real Sagely Battle God Meng Tian?”

Their gazes quickly fell upon “Meng Tian” who was in Ping Yang’s hands. It was evident that all of them looked very shocked.

However, the shocked expressions turned into horrified ones as though they could sense that something terrifying was about to take place.

“Run! Run now, run with Senior Meng Tian!” A voice was heard when Ping Yang was still in a state of confusion as she walked towards the Human Alliance.

It was a very worried voice and it did not provide any explanation.

“Run?” Ping Yang stopped for a moment although she was still not sure why the voice told her to run.
