Human Brain Farm-Chapter 495 - 480: A Salted Fish

Hongjun was momentarily speechless.

This person actually has the nerve to speak?

However, speaking of deception and the ability to speak nonsense... all the beings present are equally cunning and sly, otherwise, they couldn't have risen to the top of this fierce battle to become the strongest in the universe.

And the Jade Emperor, Li Shimin, and others have had many remarkable achievements...

But only Zhenyuanzi and myself stood out prominently.

Though both of us are equally cunning, I am known as a repeat offender, having previously purged my loyal followers, while the other party has never done such a thing...

So, in the eyes of the Saints, it is clear whom to follow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you probably have made up your minds."

Zhu Zhengwei revealed a gentle smile and said, "We have shared hardships before, judged the Primordial Chaos together... we know each other well; rather, let's cut down this Hongjun before us, and follow me to expand territories, ushering in the next cosmic era... it's a sure bet."

Hongjun's face became slightly stiff, suddenly speaking righteously, "Ladies and gentlemen, why follow others? If you were willing to lower yourselves to a Saint Position, beneath others, it would have been so long ago; why strive for transcendence all this while? As cultivators, we should fight hard and resist the heavens; by joining forces, we third-party forces can contend with the two Creator Gods."

"Hongjun Senior, are you anxious? Unlike you."

Zhu Zhengwei glanced at him, "Your learning ability is strong, you speak like me, so lifelike, are you my avatar..."

Hongjun remained unchanged in expression and continued, "Know oneself and know the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles... After all, following you now is a dead end for me, why not persuade them?"

Zhu Zhengwei ignored him, who knew what bad ideas he was showing weakness for, "Everyone, you are rational beings; you should know whom to follow. When united, you can contend with us two, but the hope is not great... you are also several people, how do you ensure absolute trust that others won't ambush you?"

This guiding voice made the Saints sigh in their hearts.

In front of them, how to maximize benefit and avoid harm, they had ideas in their hearts.

"I am willing to follow Zhenyuanzi." Zhang Bairen stepped out, pledging allegiance first.

"The third one, the weaker your force becomes, the bleaker the hope." Zhu Zhengwei stared at several people before him.

Everyone sighed, and Li Shimin also stepped out, "I am willing too."

"Very well."

Zhu Zhengwei said, "More than half already, the remaining people are not enough to resist, are you going to wait for death, or come over?"

The remaining Guanshiyin and a few others exchanged glances, and could only pledge allegiance too.

In an instant, the camps were redefined.

People gathered on Zhu Zhengwei's side, while Hongjun was already alone.

"How about it?" Zhu Zhengwei asked again.

Hongjun smiled bitterly, "The latter waves push the former; new people replace the old; so be it, changed the layout once, thought I reshaped the battlefield, after the intermission, but still like this, the living beings besiege, the heavens want me dead."

"I lost."

Hongjun showed a slight silence, and after a moment said, "Even so, I will not surrender, you all come together."

"Kill him!"

Everyone spoke in unity, attacking in unison.

In an instant, all Saints besieged Hongjun, crashing the heavens and earth, replaying the previous scene.

"Both sides are evenly matched, it appears that the last straw that breaks the camel's back is me." Zhu Zhengwei solemnly said; "Once I strike, Hongjun's balance will break, leading to a dead end."

However, Zhu Zhengwei did not make a move, quietly watching the scene before him.

Boom!

This battle again took several years.

It is interesting to say, just a moment ago it was all living beings, besieging Zhu Zhengwei.

Now the scene shifts, and they besiege Hongjun...

This All Living Beings Tribulation is quite interesting, the living beings take turns besieging the Creator God, sharing the rain and dew.

Zhu Zhengwei rubbed his chin, still observing the distant battlefield.

"Hongjun, you wronged us, schemed against all living beings, your crime is enormous, you are doomed to die today!" Zhang Zhi shot out divine light, his combat power extraordinary.

"Killing you ends it all." And Zhong Qingyu, even incarnated into a colossal ancient being, harmonized with his own magical treasure rules, strangling Hongjun, bringing tremendous pressure.

Zhu Zhengwei was still watching.

He felt somewhat sentimental, the two from back then have finally grown to this height.

At this moment.

The battle was extremely intense.

The Saints besieging Hongjun, massive chaotic fog exploded, billions of energy-level material shockwaves, obliterating the center of the starry sky.

And among them, they communicated internally.

"Why is he still watching?" Guanshiyin asked.

"Our two sides are evenly matched; if he strikes, the victory is decided!" Zhang Bairen was somewhat puzzled.

"Hongjun, didn't you say with his personality, even if he's insidious and cunning, he would definitely strike?" Guanshiyin spoke.

This time, Li Shimin slapped Guanshiyin away, laughing coldly, "Why is he still watching, not acting according to your plan... Didn't you say: We would definitely draw each other in, with your previous experience, we, out of emotion and reason, would eventually side with him, and together with Zhenyuanzi besiege you... at that time we will battle, help him besiege you, then ambush him from behind, ensuring he has no return."

Hongjun was silent for a few seconds, showing a perplexed expression, "I thought my acting was lifelike, for him to believe, I even learned how he spoke..."

Boom!

They fought while transmitting sound secretly, looking at Zhenyuanzi on the sidelines, having no intention of stepping in.

This was supposed to be a huge death trap!

No one would have thought, a few tens of thousands of years in advance, Hongjun used some special means to pull in everyone, even gaining their absolute trust, to kill Zhenyuanzi.

Whether it was the Celestial Emperor of the era influencing the first siege or the second wave of the forty-nine Saints siege, they were only appetizers to relax his vigilance.

"Logically speaking, he should not see through how I planted a mental stamp on you all... to anyone, it would seem you are free, this cannot be seen as a trap! But why hasn't he taken action?"

Even Zhang Zhi, Zhong Qingyu, were tricked by himself, drawn to his side.

How could Zhenyuanzi have expected this?

Hongjun fought while glancing at Zhu Zhengwei far away, becoming even more irritated, not only was he still watching, but he started drinking tea from the side.

Becoming lazier.

Hongjun was somewhat dumbfounded.

This person, in such a situation, is still drinking tea?

How could he behave like this?

Is it possible he truly saw through it, mocking us and our acting?

"No, it's highly likely he's being cautious! He is wary of fraud, still observing us from the side."

At this point, Saint Xin Tu said; "With his stable personality, he must act this way! Still suspicious, we only need to keep fighting, showing fatigue, making him think a single strike can tip the scales, he'll eventually become impatient!"

Xin Tu's idea was simple.

Endure.

The opposition is clearly probing, observing.

Once he confirms there are no anomalies, he'll definitely step in.

"He cannot be stable!" Hongjun showed cold intent, looking towards Zhenyuanzi from afar, "Have you forgotten, I reversed his character? He is extremely aggressive and under normal circumstances, should've struck immediately... an aggressive person not making a move, I can basically confirm, he has seen through our setup!"

At this moment, Hongjun was the most stable one.

He and the Saints before him, already had over seventy percent odds of winning, yet he still requested stability, thus setting this death trap, inviting him in, to ambush him!

He is exceedingly cautious, having even meticulously arranged the first and second sieges just to ease his vigilance.

"Although I don't know how he saw through it, since he did, we must directly..." This time, Hongjun began speaking but was quickly interrupted.

"Can I say something?" This time, Li Shimin spoke up, "Fellow Daoists, have you ever considered another aspect? Even though he is so sharp and cunning, he shouldn't see our footing changes, this is the ultimate trap we set, how could he easily see through it? If it were not our ultimate trap means... he might still be on the sidelines because another aspect of his personality hasn't been switched."

"What personality?"

Li Shimin looked at Zhu Zhengwei sitting in the distance, sipping tea, "He is just slacking off?"

Hongjun was stunned, then deeply shaken, incredulous.

This guy drinking tea on the side, he hasn't discovered my terrifying plot calculated over the ages, but... his lazy personality saved him!
