Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha-Chapter 316 - 308: Storytelling

"Who are you?"

Nezha felt that there was no fear in his heart, but his body was trembling with fear.

He immediately understood that this was a difference in the level of existence, just like when he encountered Tongtian, Laozi, and Primordial, it was the power of a Saint.

Even if a person is not afraid of death, they can’t help but feel fear.

"Did Tongtian give you this blade to use the means of an outsider to warn me? Heh, what a bunch of cowards."

The old principal took a few steps forward and stood in front of the tombstone. He placed his hand on the tombstone and then pulled it up entirely with one hand. This movement was not small, and people around took notice, watching the scene with suspicion and discussing in whispers. Some had already taken out their phones to start taking pictures.

Then, the old principal also took out his phone to start taking selfies.

No matter what, Nezha found the scene in front of him somewhat incongruous.

A Saint.

Holding a cell phone?

The old principal glanced at Nezha and walked away.

"If you want to know everything, come with me."

Nezha quickly followed: "You are willing to tell me?"

"Not tell, and then act mysteriously, letting you wander aimlessly around the world and only to reluctantly kill you in the end?"

"Living is still better."

The old principal chuckled, completely indifferent to the surrounding flashes of camera lights: "First of all, I won’t answer any questions, only tell you a story. Of course, before that, let me introduce myself, my Taoist name is Hong Jun."

Nezha didn’t speak; he had already guessed.

In the Fengshen World, the only one who could warrant the combined efforts of several Saints is likely the person before him.

"This story probably starts with Pangu creating the heavens and earth."

"Grandmaster, wouldn’t that be a bit too long?"

"Haha, then I’ll keep it short, wait, let me make a call first." After saying this, Hong Jun in the guise of the old principal dialed a number, "Xiao Li, go cash out all the company stocks and hoard gold, I see gold will rise sharply."

"Chairman, please think twice, gold is already at a high point, entering now is very risky." The voice on the other end, Xiao Li, seemed determined, "And you’ve lost over billions in previous investments, the company’s cash flow is very tight!"

Hong Jun seemed a bit annoyed: "Do you know who I am? Such a small stock market, and I can’t see through it? Get to work!"

After hanging up, Hong Jun looked at Nezha and said very seriously: "Actually, I’m quite good at stock trading. What were we saying?"

"We were talking about gold rising sharply."

"Oh yes, it was Pangu. Pangu creating the heavens and earth. To be honest, I don’t know if this is true, but he was indeed a Saint. The Fengshen World you visited is the great world he opened up.

At first, I was just a small cultivator in that grand world during the prehistoric times, joining a small sect. My role wasn’t even a manager, but an accountant. But you know me, I had grand ambitions and refused to settle for just being an accountant.

So, I made a set of Yin Yang Accounts, extracting quite a bit of wealth from the sect to purchase resources for cultivation and secretly practiced on my own."

"Didn’t they notice?"

"Cultivators only care about cultivation, those old leaders would go into seclusion for hundreds of years, and at the time, the cultivation methods were not perfect. Some turned to dust during their seclusion, and by the time they noticed, my realm had already left them in the dust."

Hong Jun was quite proud: "My realm got higher and higher, but one day, I discovered that the world I was in was just a world refined by Pangu. Although vast and boundless, it was ultimately controlled by someone."

"You said earlier that Pangu was dead, then who controlled it?"

"Controlled by the rules of the world."

Hong Jun stared, "Clearly the sun is a firebird, yet the world rules are so irrational. The beings living within, no matter how high their realm, even higher than Pangu, have to abide by the rules within, and that makes me very unhappy." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Better to die free than live bound?"

"Haha, that’s something Henry from America said, I’ve always liked that saying. You see, even a bug like Henry yearns for freedom, why wouldn’t I?

So, I wanted to leave to see the world beyond the one Pangu created. But to achieve that, I had to reach the Saint Realm and completely master the Space Law."

"You achieved that long ago."

"Of course, I did it long ago, but I was still a bit afraid, so I began to establish sects and improve the cultivation system. I also trained several disciples, doing my utmost to help them become Saints, planning to take them with me when I left, so we could look out for each other."

Nezha frowned: "They didn’t want to?"

"At first, they wanted to, and I took them out. The outside world was pitch black. There were dots of suns in the distance, the worlds were large spheres, most devoid of life. But there were many such spheres, occasionally I’d find one or two with life."

Hong Jun seemed nostalgic: "At that time, everyone was excited. It was dark and cold outside, but boundless. Although traveling was inconvenient, we had all mastered the Space Law, able to arrive with a thought, until... until we ran into a bunch of aliens."

"Aliens?" Nezha wondered if this novel was written by AI, otherwise how did it start going crazy here.

"We had encountered many aliens before, some practiced cultivation, some played with technology, but I could almost wipe out entire planets with a thought with those. But this batch was different. Although they played with technology too, their spaceship field could actually block my Divine Thought."

Hong Jun continued: "That was interesting, so one of my disciples, with the tao name Extinction, not the Master Extinction from Jin Yong’s novels, also a Saint, volunteered to explore the mysteries within, and then he got noticed by the other side."

"Discovered, then attacked, at first their attacks were quite primitive, using electromagnetic guns to fire black iron rods, not very fast but Extinction did not evade. After being hit, his body was simply melted.

Of course, Extinction didn’t die, that kind of attack was a minor wound to him. However, technically our bodies aren’t even damaged by Divine Thunder, long since impervious to all harm, what with beam weapons, ion weapons, we don’t even care about those, how could a single black spear harm us."

"Strong interaction materials?"

"Exactly, smart one. Everything in this world to it is mere cream-like substance, that thing could pierce through the sun unharmed."
