Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 715 - 714: You Are More Reliable than Wenliang

Chen Pingping's face was etched with dark lines.

Fate Energy, standing nearby, fell silent for a moment before suddenly cursing, "Damn you, Fuxi! Don't you ever let me see you!"

Huh?

Zhang Ziyu suddenly quieted down, staring intently at the person before him, and asked, "And who might this be?"

"I am the Fate Energy of the Nine Heavens!" he snorted coldly. "When you were young, you broke into this place and received my protection, but then you stopped coming."

"Ping, I just remembered I have some matters to deal with. I have to go first!" Zhang Ziyu turned and fled.

Unfortunately, this world was controlled by Fate Energy, who was the sole god here.

Fate Energy waved his hand, and the path ahead of Zhang Ziyu instantly collapsed, blocking his escape.

Zhang Ziyu offered a sheepish smile. "Oh, I remember now, those matters are already settled. Ah... So it was Senior." For some reason, he had an ominous premonition.

"I'm asking you, since Fuxi cut off that path, how did you manage to get here?" Fate Energy asked coldly.

"I… I don't know. The Sword Immortal wanted to kill me, and his Sword Intent struck out. Perhaps it was those strikes that broke the path," Zhang Ziyu grimaced, his smile uglier than tears.

He also wanted to come! He had tried to enter many times before; who knew the path would be severed by the Sword Immortal?

Fate Energy laughed, the sound growing more and more chilling. "Good. Very good."

Zhang Ziyu was speechless. Chen Pingping, too.

They exchanged glances, sharing the same thought: to swiftly flee this place.

"Damn it, Fuxi... I'm not done with you!" Fate Energy gritted his teeth.

"Senior, the Sword Immortal is already dead," Zhang Ziyu blurted out.

"Dead? He doesn't have the right to die! Even if he's dead, I'll still destroy his remaining Divine Sense and lingering obsessions!"

Fate Energy continued, "Alright, back to the matter at hand. You go and slay that God Grid right away." He stared intently at Zhang Ziyu.

The latter's scalp tingled. His eyes widened as he backed away rapidly.

What the hell? What did he just say? Slay the God Grid? Zhang Ziyu couldn't believe it.

Fate Energy added, "Aren't you the inheritor of the Sword Immortal's legacy? You even hold his core teachings. How can you not slay even a 'little' God Grid?"

Zhang Ziyu's voice trembled. "Senior, I'm only at the Saint Realm."

A 'little' God Grid? My heavens! Only this being before me could say something so outrageous! That thing is an existence beyond the Emperor Realm. Even a mere sliver of it isn't something a Saint Realm cultivator could possibly face.

Fate Energy was silent for a moment.

"I'm also at the Saint Realm..." Chen Pingping said nervously. "But rest assured, Senior, I have already arranged for reinforcements. We came here this time to understand the truth and, incidentally, to check the location of the God Grid."

"Oh? Is that true?" Fate Energy inquired.

"It is."

"So, you have a plan?"

"Yes!"

"You want to see the God Grid?" Fate Energy narrowed his eyes. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

GULP!

Both looked at each other again, swallowing hard, their hearts filled with panic.

Chen Pingping had only said that casually, off the top of his head.

Zhang Ziyu had entered this place to meet the Sword Immortal.

Chen Pingping had entered for Fate Energy. Who would have known that this entity had taken form, and its intelligence wasn't low at all—far surpassing the wisp of it in the Void God Realm.

Merging with it will likely be quite difficult, Chen Pingping thought. The immediate priority is to leave this place and then discuss countermeasures. As for seeing any God Grid, we definitely don't want to...

But Fate Energy wasn't so perceptive of their thoughts. With a grand wave of his hand, he led the two deeper into the area. "Don't be afraid. It's just a God Grid condensed by a pseudo-god. It's still weak, not very strong—at most, only a tiny bit stronger than a Heaven Emperor."

Chen Pingping and Zhang Ziyu were speechless.

It didn't take long. Under Fate Energy's forceful guidance, the two "got their wish" and arrived at the place where the God Grid was suppressed.

This was a world of void: no sun or moon, no mountains or rivers, just an empty expanse. If one focused, they could feel an unknown power flowing through the space, creating an intangible sense of oppression.

Skill, Power Path, Divine Sense, Physical Strength.

These corresponded to the Four Symbols.

This was the power basis of the Human Clan's first great Array.

Ahead stood a towering figure, its entire body a gleaming, colorful Liuli that seemed utterly out of place in this desolate world.

It was slumbering.

The figure's shoulders seemed to touch the sky, its feet planted firmly on the ground, resembling an ancient giant that propped up the heavens.

Of course, as a God Grid, it possessed no signs of life, no meridians or bones, and not even a face—only a humanoid form made of colorful Liuli.

The surrounding aura was unremarkable, making it hard to believe this was a God Grid.

Suddenly, the God Grid standing silently on the earth seemed to twitch. Immediately after, the sound of iron chains being dragged echoed from all around—CLANK, CLANK—an eerie noise.

The two were horrified. They saw no chains, and moreover... the God Grid seemed to be awakening. If it breaks free from its shackles, can we still leave this place alive? they wondered.

"Senior? Huh? Where's Senior?" Chen Pingping exclaimed.

He scanned the surroundings, but there was no sign of Fate Energy...

Zhang Ziyu pointed into the distance. "He's over there!"

Fate Energy was keeping a great distance, not daring to approach, yet he had sent the two of them here.

Such behavior was truly despicable.

The two quickly retreated. "Senior? Didn't you say that was just the God Grid of a pseudo-god? Surely you're not that scared?"

Fate Energy said sternly, "I am not afraid. I am keeping my distance because I fear I might injure it if I were to act."

Chen Pingping countered, "If that's the case, Senior, since you have the power to slay the God Grid, why not kill it directly?"

"That's an excellent question," Fate Energy chuckled. "I refuse to answer."

The truth was, although he was Fate Energy, he had not yet truly taken form. He had merely used the Six Tao left behind by Wenliang to condense a physical body.

Without a true form, how could he cultivate?

Without cultivation, where would he get the power to slay the God Grid?

The God Grid, on the other hand, had been condensed by a pseudo-god and was highly integrated with that pseudo-god, naturally inheriting all of its knowledge and abilities.

Even though the pseudo-god had perished long ago, profound cultivation methods remained within the God Grid's memory and instincts.

Fate Energy had experienced this firsthand.

Initially, he had wanted to devour the God Grid to complete his own materialization. Unexpectedly, he was the one who ended up being partially consumed by the God Grid.

At that moment, he realized he was no match for the God Grid.

"Senior, didn't you say you were bitten by the God Grid?" Chen Pingping scrutinized him from head to toe. "Where did it bite you?"

"Young man, I advise you not to be nosy," Fate Energy snapped, his face darkening. This is such an embarrassing matter, and you still bring it up! Your emotional intelligence is truly abysmal, he fumed internally. TSK! Even lower than that scoundrel Wenliang's intelligence!

Chen Pingping remained silent.

At that moment, Zhang Ziyu asked, "Senior, is there an Emperor of Medicine here?"

"Oh?" Fate Energy glanced at him sideways. "If you slay the God Grid, even if you devour just a tiny sliver of it, its value would far exceed that of any Emperor of Medicine. Understand?"

Zhang Ziyu had a moment of realization. The implied answer was no. Instantly, he lost all interest in this place.

He had re-entered Tiger Land specifically for the Emperor of Medicine.

But Chen Pingping was different. His eyes darted around, his mind racing. "I understand! Senior, please send us out. Once I find reinforcements, I will definitely return, slay the God Grid, and restore your freedom, Senior!"

Fate Energy was unmoved. He said indifferently, "Tell me about these reinforcements of yours."

Chen Pingping said with a serious expression, "In the Southern Diaspora, the Wuji Sect has three Heaven Emperor Realm powerhouses and one being who has almost surpassed the Heaven Emperor Realm. This Mr. Zhang here comes from an Ancient Family, which has seven or eight Emperor Realm members, three to five at the Heaven Emperor Realm, and even a true great God. I just need to go out and tell them that the God Grid is still here. They will certainly join forces, powerfully suppress Tiger Land, and obliterate the God Grid, leaving no trace behind."

"Huh?" Fate Energy was surprised. "When did the Human Clan produce so many powerhouses?"

Chen Pingping said, "Senior, you've been trapped here for too many years and are completely unaware of the outside world. Since Wenliang departed, Lord Jiu Yue has taken action, Slaying Gods all along the way and expanding the territories for the Human Clan. Today's Human Clan is thriving and prosperous. All those disparate Divine Clans are nothing but ants living beneath the feet of our Human Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Fate Energy was dumbfounded.

To be honest, he didn't believe such an absurd story.

But Chen Pingping had mentioned Jiu Yue...

That particular entity indeed had the capability to achieve such feats.

Zhang Ziyu, standing to the side, struggled to suppress a smile, secretly admiring Ping's ability to lie without batting an eye.

Chen Pingping continued, "As I said earlier, Ziyu and I came in to determine the exact location of the God Grid. Once we have it, we can notify our elders to come and slay it. To be honest, if it weren't for the Four Symbols Array set up by the Sword Immortal, the Human Clan would have acted to slay this God Grid long ago."

This statement instantly cleared the doubts in Fate Energy's mind.

The Human Clan Chen Pingping described was overwhelmingly powerful. If so, why hadn't they slain the God Grid much earlier? Why was it still here?

However, Chen Pingping's subsequent explanation made Fate Energy have a sudden realization.

The Array established by the Sword Immortal was no ordinary formation. Ordinary powerhouses simply couldn't break it, unless the Array itself began to collapse.

Just like the current situation, where Tiger Land was experiencing problems.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Pingping's words suddenly seemed entirely plausible.

Chen Pingping then said, "My only concern, Senior, is for you."

Fate Energy was startled. "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Pingping sighed. "Senior, you are Fate Energy itself! Think about it... If the Four Symbols Array breaks and the elders of my Human Clan slay the God Grid, how will they treat you?"

Fate Energy's mouth fell slightly agape.

What did being Fate Energy signify? It meant "luck," it meant the greatest Great Opportunity in all the Nine Heavens. Zhang Ziyu's case was a perfect example. Years ago, Fate Energy had only offered him a little protection, and that fellow had stumbled upon fortunate encounters one after another. This alone was enough to demonstrate the importance of Fate Energy. Once this place was breached and the God Grid slain, his own destiny was almost predictable. He would become a target for the strongest experts of the Human Clan, possibly even torn into countless pieces. In short, his end would undoubtedly be horrific.

As Fate Energy contemplated this, a chill ran down his spine. How could this be even more miserable than in Wenliang's time? That scoundrel Wenliang had only been tricking him, but these people... they wanted his very existence! Absolutely not! This couldn't happen!

Fate Energy stared intently at Chen Pingping. "Then... what should we do?"

Chen Pingping pondered for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "For now, there's only one way to ensure your safety. First, you temporarily take root within my Sea of Consciousness. Then... after this great upheaval has passed, you can find another place to cultivate. Once you truly take form, I imagine no one will harbor designs on you anymore."

Fate Energy asked, his expression solemn, "Is that... possible?"

Chen Pingping affirmed, "Absolutely possible."

"I mean, can your Sea of Consciousness actually contain me?" Fate Energy asked, surprised.

"For you, Senior, I am willing to take the risk," Chen Pingping said, gritting his teeth, an expression of heroic self-sacrifice on his face. "Senior, you are Fate Energy! If you can take form, you will undoubtedly be a great blessing upon the Nine Heavens. So... please, Senior, you must continue to live well."

Fate Energy was instantly moved to tears. He choked up and said, "You... you're far more reliable than that scoundrel Wenliang."
