I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 490 - 279: Humanity’s Bonds

Every creature has meridians within, but they are very simple.

Only humans are incredibly complex, possessing an extremely intricate meridian system.

The Three Flowers take root atop the head, connecting to the human vase, and the complex, intricate floral roots inside the vase form this human meridian network.

It is precisely this system that keeps humans dominant and incredibly powerful.

"Is it really possible for hair to soften, turn from external to internal, and transform into intricate internal meridians?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Not impossible!"

At this moment, Tri-Colored Cloud Rainbow’s expression was incredibly complex, finally speaking:

"This is actually very simple; you are overthinking it. If it were me, I could achieve it with a single technique."

What method?

The crowd still didn’t understand; this might involve the domain of medical skills.

"This doesn’t involve medicine, it’s so simple that any normal person could think of it."

Tri-Colored Cloud Rainbow said:

"Turn the skin inside out, let the hair grow inward!"

"Human hair naturally grows outward, but what if I reverse the skin, allowing the hair to naturally grow...inward?"

The crowd’s minds exploded; hair naturally growing inward...became innate meridians.

The Human God did not strip the Ancient Ape of its hair, instead letting it evolve, the hair softened and internalized, becoming inner armor, innate array patterns within the body!

This was a significant advancement for the Ancient Ape species.

He indeed deserved the title of Human God.

His achievements were unprecedented; he transformed Ancient Apes into humans.

The mystery was entirely unveiled.

"Then, why did he deceive us, saying he took away the [hair]?" At this moment, Doukou Hong couldn’t help but ask.

Xinyi Yun revealed a heavy expression: "He didn’t deceive us, nor did he disdain deception, he merely spoke half-truths; he took away the hair...but left the meridians! He truly is the God of humanity! Without betraying his people!"

"As for why he concealed the truth about the hair, I’ve already guessed the reason."

"Because he wanted to hide how he controlled humans."

The conversation grew increasingly mysterious.

Some people were completely confused.

But Array Masters like Lan Zhou instantly understood, an incredulous expression arose, "Indeed!! Human meridians are densely packed, like a gigantic natural puppet array."

"We’re born with tens of billions of threads embedded in our bodies, pulling us..."

"Each one of us is a natural, intricate silk string puppet."

This was the truth!

Upon birth, a body naturally formed into a puppet; how could one resist?

Tens of billions of threads pulling within the body.

Xin Xichen, unable to move, could avoid control just by sheer strength!

This Hidden Sect was incredibly tyrannical.

Almost at that instant, everyone looked up.

Watching the majestic clouds above the Capital City, that gigantic Human Ape face, the fingertips weaving strings controlling all, an intense, groundless fear overwhelmed them.

Back then, he severed an era, allowing humans to be born, and every human thereafter became a natural puppet, for him, the Puppet Master to control.

This was the strongest Puppet Master in the history of life.

Turning all beings into puppet embryos for future use, who could accomplish this in history?

"What a terrifying scheme! This truth nearly overturned human history!!" Xinyi took a deep breath, "Moreover, he locked the usage rights of human hair, preventing them from accessing this part of internal power, forcing passive usage."

"If we completely grasped it, we could control our meridian system at any time, extend it, and transform into hair, into outer armor defense!"

Now, the answer was very clear.

To achieve victory and solve the Human Ape virus, was to decipher the intricate puppet array within humans, removing this Hidden Sect!

Thus, the Human Apes in the Nine Great State Cities were freed from control and the gigantic Divine Ape in the Capital City would naturally crumble.

At this thought, they couldn’t help but ignite a glimmer of hope!

"But our time is running out."

"Indeed, to decipher this array, estimating would take considerable time, and by the time it’s done, the Nine-State would have already..."

Everyone sank into silence.

Their time was far too short!

Ning Zheng hurried along, silently listening to their discussion. It’s no wonder they’re the top existence of the Nine-State, rapidly analyzing the true origins of this Human God after receiving the information.

No wonder the Human God launched a lightning war.

Because this world was filled with too many prodigies, seeing through his true nature was just a matter of time.

"The fifth one."

Ning Zheng took a deep breath, looking at the fragments, vaguely forming into a shape of a Square Cauldron, exuding an overwhelmingly heavy aura.

Moreover, the aura made Ning Zheng feel surprised, quite familiar.

This Divine Artifact seemed to be condensing a certain Qi Fortune Value, gathering the world’s Qi Fortune, suppressing the Imperial Mausoleum.

Ning Zheng continued rushing, collecting the final shattered fragment of [Chronicles of Time].

Regardless of victory or defeat.

These fragments were very important!

For the victor, whoever it was, must reconstruct the Nine-State core and close [Chronicles of Time].

Just one quick version of the Human God emerged, the world became terrifying; if some slowly developing ancient existences rise, what then for this world?

"Gathered." Ning Zheng looked at the fragments, stepping once again into the Capital City, "Now, let the counterattack begin."

Ning Zheng silently felt the Qi Fortune Value being collected by survivor cities across the Nine States.

+2

+2

+2

...

+200 million

Ning Zheng looked at the unprecedented figure, his heart in turmoil.

As expected, there are very few followers who wholeheartedly forgo vigilance and instinctively agree to trade, with only 1% of the ordinary citizens able to provide Qi Fortune Value...

Too few!

But upon reflection, this is understandable.

The Xi Rong Divine Craftsman, famed across the world, was still unreachable for most common people.

Most had only heard the name; how could they instinctively and unconditionally trust it?

Even with your husband, wife, and family, you may not be able to trust unconditionally.

That’s what’s normal for most people.

This is why Ning Zheng chooses believers who are heavily brainwashed, willing to die—only they can selflessly dedicate and easily harvest Qi Fortune Value.

A 1% conversion rate, yet in a short time there were at least a billion people in various ark cities bowing to the Xi Rong Divine Craftsman, providing strength to Ning Zheng.

And this was within a very short time span. If there were just a little more time... a few more days, it would be a jackpot, but unfortunately, there’s no more time.

Ning Zheng suddenly felt full of confidence: "Everyone, do not panic."

Xinyi said, "Thanks to you, we’ve found the truth, a method to deal with the Hidden Sect, but we have little time left... this complex meridian is still being analyzed..."

Ning Zheng smiled, "No need to worry, we’ve already prepared for this. To be honest, we have a powerful Array Master within our ranks, who has already deciphered this internal Puppetry Technique."

Everyone was puzzled, thinking they misheard.

This was an impossible miracle.

In such a short time, this achievement was beyond effort alone.

Ning Zheng paid no mind to them.

"Do not underestimate the bonds between humans, everyone!!" Ning Zheng took a deep breath.

Qi Fortune Value bonus!

-120 million.

A massive red number suddenly jumped out.

Clearly, this was an unimaginable figure previously for Ning Zheng.

Ning Zheng’s true form, having just collected Qi Fortune Value from a sacrificial ceremony in a certain city, sat cross-legged, his mind entering a state akin to enlightenment, fortuitously selecting a point among the billions of complex meridians and moving to another... repeating several times.

A billion-to-one improbable miracle was born!

Hiss!

The patterns within completed to perfection.

Ning Zheng opened his eyes, feeling the shackles within dissolved, his body suddenly at ease.

He abruptly shuddered, as the dense meridians within him spilled out, transforming into fur, covering his body to form a defense.

"This system is becoming stranger and stranger."

Ning Zheng sighed deeply.

A severed head, yet not dead, encountering ghosts with fear, he ripped open his head, forcefully poking his brain, entering a period of calm.

Now.

The vast human meridian network could shoot out, covering the skin and even being used for attack!

"Indeed, some styles have been consistent with humanity since its inception." Ning Zheng exclaimed, immediately spreading the message throughout his internal companions.

The various Continent Kings were incredulous, displaying joy.

Xinyi Baisan was even more shocked, incredulously saying, "Besides combat, soul medical skills, and Immortal Beast fusion technology... I didn’t know their strongest capability was actually arrays?"

Damn, besides forging, they can do everything!

Everyone quickly used Communication Tokens to spread the news to the ancestors of the Nine-State’s city walls.

These ancestors, each a top Great Cultivator, easily controlled their bodies and immediately attempted upon receiving the news.

Instantly, the Hidden Sect mechanisms of the entire Nine States were deciphered, and the furs were reclaimed.

This just simply broke through the Hidden Sect mechanism, but it was enough.

The black rain in the sky suddenly began to cease.

After the rain, the sky cleared, bringing clarity to the world.

"In such a short time... can this really be accomplished?"

This Human God suddenly stopped weaving, unexpectedly displaying disbelief with his ever-calm demeanor.

In his eyes, this was simply a dead end. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

To kill certain entities within the Emperor’s Tomb was the only way to uncover the truth.

And having uncovered the truth, deciphering this Hidden Sect was even more difficult.

Because time was already insufficient!

So in his eyes, whether the opponents fought or not, it was a sure loss.

Humanity would eventually return to his embrace, and he would retake his throne over the Nine States, yet before him...

The Human God could hardly imagine that as the strongest Puppet Master in Nine States history, his puppetry dark mechanism was broken. He couldn’t help but wonder, "How did you manage it?"

"Human bonds." Ning Zheng certainly wouldn’t reveal the truth, just as the Human God’s words mixed truth with lies, he too could deceive, reflecting the other’s means back upon them.

Ning Zheng said lightly, "Human emotion and courage are beyond the comprehension of such a scheming plotter as you... Boundless love enables our human race to create unbelievable miracles."
