When Jiang Shu looked at his camp, it was completely devastated. There are some zombies roaming as they ate human flesh.
” Bastard!”
Jiang Shu became enraged as he pulled out a gun from his ring and started shooting at the zombies. Since he was somewhat proficient, he easily killed off the zombies.
” Damn it! Ho- How did the zombies infiltrate?” Jian Shu cursed out loud.
He rushed forward as he killed the zombies. However, Jiang Shu suddenly froze when he saw a corpse.
” Th-Thats…”
Jiang Shi’s choked as his body trembled violently. What he saw was a dismembered arm lying on the floor. It was very smooth and slender, an arm of a woman.
Jiang Shu didn’t wait as he rushed inside.
” Fei’er! FEI’ER!”
Jiang Shu shouted frantically as he searched everywhere. However, his body turned cold when he saw a mutilated body in front of him.
The corpse of a lady was torn into shreds. By now, the flies and rats already started to gnaw the corpse.
” F-FEI’ER!!!”
Jiang Shu felt like his heart going to explode from the pain and agony when he saw the corpse.
Fei’er was the girl he first met on Planet Gaia. Not only she saved his life, she taught him everything.
She even gave her a D rank Strengthening Serum to increase his strength. Jiang Shu and Fei’er already liked each other as they were already connected both physically and mentally.
However, currently, Jiang Shu is seeing Fei’r corpse getting gnawed by the mutant rats.
Jiang Shu knelt before the corpse as tears streamed from his eyes.
” Ho-How could this happen? Why all of you died? Ho-How is that possible?
” Lo-Lord Jiang?”
” Shu?! Is that you?”
Jiang Shu suddenly got up as he noticed his subordinate.
” Lord Jiang…I don’t have much time left…” Shu coughed a mouthful of blood. ” It was all going good. But…While a hoard of zombies attacked, we just finished our lunch.”
” We…We don’t what happened. All of them felt…sleepy. They all got killed by…zombies.”
” I…I persisted. But I…” Shu coughed another mouthful of blood. ” I am sorry.”
*THUD*
He fell to the ground as his breathing stopped.
” N-NOOOOOO!”
Jiang Shu roared as his eyes turned red. He felt like his soul is going to shatter from all the pain and agony. He coughed a mouthful of blood as he rolled on the ground.
” WHY! WHY DID THIS HAPPEN!”
” I WILL KILL THEM! I WILL KILL ALL THE CULPRITS!”
Jiang Shu gritted his teeth as he burned everyone’s corpse. ” Why did they suddenly feel sleepy? There is something fishy.”
” Mutant zombie? Or poison?”
Jiang Shu suddenly saw the food items he brought from Guo Wen. He picked and stored them.
” I will find it out!”
However, unknown to Jiang Shu, a string of dark energy seeped inside him. The sky darkened for a moment as a small crack appeared.
But, no one noticed that phenomenon.

” Mm?”
Jun Tianyun scratched his ears as he stood beside Cai Ningxue’s police car.
‘ Was someone cursing on my back?’
Last night, There was a theft case in the Azure Wind City. Cai Ningxue dragged him along with her to investigate.
Thanks to Jun Tianyun’s meticulousness, they quickly caught the culprit.
” Well, This is the real gift for you.”
Cai Ningxue grinned as she passed a badge to Jun Tianyun. Jun Tianyun saw the bronze badge with a shield and a sword on it.
” This is a badge approved by True Martial Order. From now on, you can be called as an assistant investigator. So, I can call you any time without worry.”
‘ Haahh?” Jun Tianyun sighed. ” How did you even get that.”
” Well, Uncle Wan approved.” Cai Ningxue shrugged. ” Even Uncle Ye Kongzi became flustered when he heard your name.”
Jun Tianyun laughed. ” Well, What can I do? I am just that awesome.”
As they were walking down, Jun Tianyun suddenly hugged Cai Ningxue’s waist. ” Well, Since I helped you again, what sort of reward I will be getting?”
” Hmm?”
Cai Ningxue flushed as Jun Tianyun held her. She took a deep breath as her heart thumped. ” Why? The badge wasn’t enough?”
” Pei! You think that is a reward?” Jun Tianyun smirked.
” Well, Don’t worry, I think you will like it.”
” Wait… You can’t be…” Cai Ningxue’s eyes widened as she tried to struggle.
However, she soon went calm as Jun Tianyun’s face came near, Without saying anything, he kissed her lips.
It was a very short kiss. But it was enough to turn Cai Ningxue’s feelings into haywire.
” You…You are really a hooligan.” Cai Ningxue spat out.
Jun Tianyun chuckled. ” Well? I never said I am not. It is just…I am a very passionate man.”
” Hnph, Already having Sister Zi and still eyeing me?” Cai Ningxue snorted.
” Oh, Am I the only one eyeing you? I thought you are doing the same.” Jun Tianyun grinned.
” Bah! What are you saying! Shameless! Pervert! I don’t eye on you.”
Cai Ningxue puffed her cheeks as she turned away. Jun Tianyun only grinned. ” Very well, I shall believe in you then.”
“But untill then, I guess I need to leave, It is already late.” Jun Tianyun smiled.
” Oh, Wait!” Jun Tianyun paused as he handed a jade bracelet to Cai Ningxue.
” Here, Keep this with you.”
” What is this?” Cai Ningxue looked at the bracelet as she couldn’t help but get curious. ” It looks so pretty.”
” This Heart Calming Jade Shield.” It will protect you from any sort of mind controlling or illusion techniques. In a critical moment, It will also save your life.”
” This… This is a magic treasure?” Cai Ningxue was shocked. ” Jun Tianyun, This is too precious. I don’t think…”
” Shush, You think I am someone to take back my gifts?” Jun Tianyun snorted as he turned back. ” Now, I am going back. Always keep wearing that.”
Cai Ningxue smiled brightly as she wore that bracelet. A ting of pink appeared on her cheeks as she blushed a bit.
” Thank you…”
Jun Tianyun soon returned home and fell on his bed. As soon as he entered God’s Space, a golden screen appeared before him.
[ I see you are doing very well. However, some foreign forces already started to interfere. However, It also made my work easier]
Jun Tianyun was mildly surprised. ” Well? Why don’t you say clearly? I am sure your aim isn’t just to kill Jiang Shu, right?”
[ Of course not. He is merely a pawn. However, I need you to eliminate him, and pierce the World Nodes of Planet Gaia with the items I am going to give. Then, we will be able to conquer that world easily.]
” World Nodes? What are those?”
[ You don’t need to understand for now. When everything will be over, you will know naturally]
Suddenly, Jun Tiantun saw the Altar of Heaven lighting up. The bronze pillars around it turned into blinding pillars of light as they shot up, piercing the skies of God’s Space.
Jun Tianyun saw something and got summoned in the Altar of Heaven. Those were seeds.
Each seed was like a chicken egg. They were completely black with golden veins popping on them. It looks like a magma rock with golden lava flowing th in the veins.
[ Plant these seeds in World Nodes. Then, we shall watch the fun]
” How did you do it?” Jun Tianyun was surprised. ” How did you send these items into my God’s Space?”
[Huh? That was easy, though? You are already a divinity, yet you don’t know how to summon things?]u
” No?”
[…]
[ You know what, you look very cute when you appear naive. However, try figuring out by yourself]
The golden screen shattered as Jun Tianyun was still sitting on his Throne of Fate.
” Sister Qingyao, how did these seeds appear in my God’s Space?”
Su Qingyao floated to Jun Tianyun and she nodded. ” Well, Since you have upgraded the God’s Space, the Altar of Heaven is also upgraded.”
” Now, you can use Fortune points and summon the items from someone from far away.” Su Qingyao explained.
” For example, If someone is in another plane and wishes to give you something, they can just use a sacrificial altar and sacrifice the item. And here, you can easily receive it. The same goes for vice versa.”
” Wait, That means… Receiving tributes and giving blessings?” Jun Tianyun’s throat turned dry when he heard that.
‘ Ayo! That ability, Isn’t that the ability of a certain someone who remains hidden in the gray fog?’
Jun Tianyun rubbed his chin as remembered something…Ahem.
‘ Nope…This isn’t plagiarism. Not at all.’
” Damn it, How did you forget to inform me of such an important matter?” Jun Tianyun asked.
Su Qingyao shrugged. ” You never asked it. I can’t help you too much if you don’t ask. Don’t ask me the reason for that though.”
A bright light flashed in Jun Tianyun’s eyes as he smirked. ” Oh wow, I guess I finally found a good thing.”
Su Qingyao nodded as she smiled at Jun Tianyun. ” Well, and now asking that, my dear little Host finally triggered a main mission.”
Suddenly, a window flashed in front of Jun Tianyun as he became curious.
It was a quest window. It was quite some time since Jun Tianyun recieved a quest from System.
However, when he read the panel, Jun Tianyun’s eyes widened in shock.
” This… You are kidding, right?” Jun Tianyun looked at Su Qingyao.
” Why would I?” Su Qingyao smiled. ” You are finally eligible for the next step after all.”
[DING! Host received a new quest!]
[ The Path of Divinity II]
[ A Divine being is nothing without belief. The stronger the belief, the more powerful they will be]
[ Gather the faith and be a Divine Being. Be the one people recognize and submit]
