713 The Bits and Pieces of the Foreworld
Jiang Ziya: What? You want me to pay you double? You are really good at daydreaming!
Jiang Ziya: I'm representing the Primordial Lord of Heaven to make sure everyone obeys the law! The law is fair and the decree from the Primordial of Heaven is absolute! Once the punishment is set in stone, making any changes to it is simply impossible. If not, simply changing the rule is basically equivalent to slapping the face of Primordial Lord of Heaven!
Upon listening to that, most of the group members could not help but begin to talk Chen Xioabei out of it.
Yanwang: God Chen! You have to think about it carefully! This time, Primordial Lord of Heaven is the one that gave the decree! No one else can do anything about it once his decree is executed!
Xiao Tianquan: That's right! God Chen! It's not an easy task to earn all those merit points. It's not a good feeling when all your hard-earned merit points are gone!
Chang'e: Though the law was broken, it's not entirely your fault! Punishment like this is just too severe for one to bear!
Chen Xiaobei: You guys can stop trying to talk me out of it. I have made up my mind. If this is the rule set by the Primordial Lord of Heaven, it is only fair for me to be punished since I'm the one that broke it! Qianli Yan was involved in this trouble because he did this to help me! Watching him being punished makes me feel really bad!
Jiang Ziya: Since you have made up your mind, I'm going to use the Book of Merit Points to remove all your merit points.
Ding!
[Divine Punishment! 108,000,0 merit points had been deducted from you. Current merit points: 0 (Charm: 0. Luck: 0)
Within seconds, all of Chen Xiaobei's merit points turned to naught. One could see that Jiang Ziya was pleased that he finally got to punish Chen Xiaobei. By now, there must a grin on Jiang Ziya's face. Perhaps even the Primordial Lord of Heaven was laughing at Chen Xiaobei's misfortune as well.
Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had landed slaps upon slaps on Chanism's face. It was only natural for them to feel happy about it when they managed to make Chen Xiaobei pay for what he did to them! To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei was not affected by this punishment. This was not the first time his merit points were deducted to zero. Considering that he had grown so much, his emotions were very stable.
"This is only temporary! Though Primordial Lord of Heaven is a saint, the thing that he did to me is not right! He who is unjust will be doomed to destruction! The reason he set a rule like this is for his own revenge! Someday, he will definitely pay for what he did to me!"
Jiang Ziya: @Chen Xiaobei, I have removed all your merit points since you are willing to take the blame! Qianli Yan's position in heaven will be restored immediately! With that, I hope everyone will see this as a good example and never attempt to break any laws!
Monkey King: My Xiaobei Brother is a true man! It's not easy to accept such severe punishment willingly! You deserve all the compliments in this world!
Mengpo: That's right! I admire him for taking up the responsibility! Good one!
Little White Dragon: God Chen deserves to be called the disciple of the Prime of Tongtian! Heroic! Dominating! I have to give him a like!
Wei Xiaobao: Support God Chen!
Princess Iron Fan: Support God Chen!
All of a sudden, a lot of group members stepped up to support Chen Xioabei. Clearly, everyone knew what was actually going on. Though they were required to obey the Primordial Lord of Heaven's decree, the truth would not stop them from supporting Chen Xiaobei.
"People know that I did not make any mistake! Although I was punished severely, I have managed to make everyone side with me! Maybe I will be able to score something huge if any unforeseen circumstances happen to me!
Ding!
Monkey King: Brother! Don't be sad! You did well in this matter! I believe there is still justice! Just wait for the right time! Now, you have received something that is more important than merit points – respect and trust from us! You still have a long way to go! Do not mind this temporary lost!
Chen Xiaobei: Haha! Brother! You don't have to console me! We share the exact same thoughts! Actually, I'm not even upset!
Monkey King: You are worthy to be called the disciple of the Prime of Tongtian! Such an open heart! Considering that matter like this does not affect you at all, I'm pretty sure your future is as bright as the sun in the sky!
Chen Xiaobei: Stop praising me! I'm literally blushing right now! Let's change the topic!
Monkey King: What do you want to talk about?
Chen Xiaobei: I'm going to return the Jingu Bang to you first! There's no way I can use it anyway!
After sending this message, Chen Xiaobei sent the Jingu Bang back to Monkey King.
Monkey King: Got it! Just ask from me if you need it again in the future! You have Sister Nuwo watching your back. So, Jiang Ziya shouldn't be your concern!
Chen Xiaobei: Understood! Speaking of Jiang Ziya, where is that dog, Lei Zhenzi?
Normally, Lei Zhenzi would add on to all those harsh words that Jiang Ziya used to insult Chen Xiaobei. Noticing that Lei Zhenzi was not here, Chen Xiaobei was actually not used to it.
Monkey King: Lei Zhenzi? That guy went to play as a hero!
Chen Xiaobei: A hero? What is going on?
Monkey King: Two days ago, an assignment was given to all the deities in the heavenly realm! A lot of deities took the assignment and traveled to the Void to hunt down all those demonic creatures! By doing that, they will be award with some rewards!
Chen Xiaobei: He is really trying really hard to act like a hero!
Monkey King: That's right! I wouldn't have let him act like a hero if I didn't lend the Jingu Bang to you!
Chen Xiaobei: Oh right! Brother! This place, the Void, what is this place actually? My Sifu went there quite some ago. Until now, he has still not returned!
Monkey King: It all starts from when Pan Gu created heaven and earth! After he created heaven and earth, his flesh turned into the foreworld land! It was really wide and there was no end to it! After that, the first calamity happened! Dragon, phoenix, and kirin fought among each other! And Rahu was like a vulture – waiting to get something good off them. He wanted to be a saint but the first Daoist, Hong Diao did not allow him to do so! With hatred slowly accumulating in his heart, he drained hundreds and thousands of pools of Spiritual Qi from the west side of the world to attempt to defeat the first Daoist. In the end, he was killed by Diao Hong!
Monkey King: That particular calamity lasted for quite a long time! It was really bad! Because of Rahu's irresponsible behavior, the foundation of the foreworld was deeply hurt. After that, the second calamity happened! The battle between the witch tribe and the monster tribe! The Divine Pillar finally crumbled! There were ruptures formed on heaven and earth! Although Sister Nuwo managed to come in time to fix the rupture, the foundation of the foreworld was still beyond fixing!
Monkey King: Then, during the calamity, Jieism and Chanism were fighting among each other! The Prime of Tongtian setup his Godkiller Formation to attack the Four Saints! The members of Jieism setup a Thousand Gods Formation to deal with Godkiller Formation! The destructive power of this war was far bigger than the two previous calamities!
Monkey King: In the end, the foreworld could not take those kinds of damages anymore and it collapsed! It became the space that we know of today!
Chen Xiaobei: Are you trying to say that space is the by-product of the foreworld and Earth is just a small piece of it?
Monkey King: That's right! Everything in space was once used to be part of the foreworld!
Chen Xiaobei: In other words, there are actually other living beings living on a different planet!
Monkey King: There is! But, it's really far from Earth! It is impossible for you to cross paths with them!
Chen Xiaobei: How about the underworld and heavenly realms? Are these two realms within the space?
