Chapter 493 Calculating Personality, Stealing Cheng Peng's Account
Cold, shivering.
Cheng Peng felt a chill for the first time in a long time, and felt that his own life force was like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.
Fortunately, an external force kept Cheng Peng alive, allowing him to persevere, gather his true essence, resist the erosion of the alien force, and awaken.
"You're awake."
A voice rang out, "Congratulations, you are now blind."
A bright light shone in the dark cave. Bai Ze watched Cheng Peng wake up, his eyes filled with darkness.
The pupils and whites of the eyes were covered in black, like two obsidian stones, cold and lifeless.
"Where is this? And who are you?" Cheng Peng managed to ask.
His condition was not good. Not to mention the state of his eyes, the sleeves on his hands had long been shredded, revealing his charred arms with bloody lines that looked like worms wriggling and growing.
Furthermore, his primordial spirit was also severely damaged, causing his consciousness to become hazy.
All five evil gods left their marks on him, and even now, strange forces are still eroding Cheng Peng's body and primordial spirit.
Bai Ze's earlier guess was confirmed: Cheng Peng had not only broken through the Qi Heavenly Barrier, but also the Body Heavenly Barrier.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive the attack of the five evil gods.
"This is a safe place for the time being."
Bai Ze replied, "As for me, you can call me a kind person."
T
It is the language of Dongxia.
Cheng Peng felt a sense of relief.
Although being rescued by people from other countries would be acceptable, at this moment, people from Dongxia are more reassuring.
As for whether the other party is hiding their identity, is there any ulterior motive?
No matter how bad things get, there shouldn't be anything worse than dying at the hands of an evil god.
Cheng Peng himself never expected to be so unlucky, running headlong into the encirclement of evil gods. If he dies, not only will his flesh and soul be devoured, but even his memories will be dug out.
At the same time, Cheng Peng released his divine sense to sense his surroundings.
This should be a grotto; since there was no sense of an entrance, it must be completely inside the mountain.
As for the rest, they are harder to detect.
With his eyes injured and his vision clouded, even his divine sense was affected. Now he could finally experience what it was like to be the third enemy of the gods.
"Rudra, Chernobog, the Lord of the Sita Forest, and Lakshmi, a total of five evil gods."
Cheng Peng said, "Apart from Lou Tuoluo, the other four guys shouldn't be able to leave the primeval forest, but we still need to be wary of their pursuit."
"So it was these five." Bai Ze thought to himself.
Previously, he only recognized Rudra and Lakshmi, but after hearing Cheng Peng's words, he realized the identities of the other evil gods.
These five evil gods all originated from countries in the east: Dongxia, Ursus, and the now-destroyed Fanzhu.
Chernobog and Kosh'e have a close relationship. Kosh'e's biggest crime was making a deal with the evil god and creating a nuclear accident to collect faith for the evil god, which is why he was wanted by Ursus.
Bai Ze suspected that Kosh'e was able to create the secret method of collecting the malice of others to strengthen himself because of this transaction.
Chernobog was probably brought in by Koshche, while Rudra was an evil god from Sanskrit and Indian tradition, likely contacted by Shiva.
The remaining three are evil gods who were once destroyed by the Eastern Xia, but have now risen from the ashes.
"Without the Shinra and Western Alliance evil gods, and without seeing any from the Black Continent, does this mean that Kosh'e or Great Freedom have been operating in the East all these years?" Bai Ze speculated.
"Heh, Shinra won't tolerate the existence of other evil gods."
Cheng Peng scoffed and said, "That's the biggest gathering place for evil gods. The so-called divine bloodline of Shinra is actually the bloodline of evil gods after they've taken flesh. In the chaotic era, the Shinra people made deals with evil gods, which is how the Shinra Empire came to be and how the twelve divine families came to be."
"The faith of the entire Shinra Empire is consumed by the Twelve Gods. Any evil god who dares to show his face in Shinra is doomed to die."
"As expected." Bai Ze's expression showed surprise.
He had long suspected that the divine blood of the Shinra Empire was of dubious origin.
Before the world came together, where did the gods come from?
If the bloodline of gods truly existed, the Shinra people would have unified the world long ago.
At the same time, it must be admitted that the one who is best at dealing with evil gods is still the evil gods themselves.
The saying "rivals in the same trade are enemies" is perfectly embodied by the Shinra Twelve Gods.
"What about the Western Alliance?" Bai Ze asked again.
On the Western Union side, there is a god on earth who gathers faith and calls on all citizens to pledge their loyalty to this god and to venerate him as the supreme deity.
However, the Western Union also has the existence of the "Nine Union Gods," so the merging of faith in earthly gods is not absolute.
Furthermore, given the current social situation in the Western Union, it is difficult to control religious beliefs.
"All warriors in the Western Alliance have to pay a regular 'vital energy tax,' which is a product of vital energy extracted through implanted mechanical bodies. This greatly depletes the vital energy and spirit of the extractor. Under such circumstances, even if one believes in an evil god, it is difficult to contribute much faith power. Even though there are many evil god sects, they are all insignificant and it is difficult for a powerful evil god to emerge."
Cheng Peng was happy to answer Bai Ze's questions.
Through communication, Cheng Peng was able to find out some details about Bai Ze.
For example, information related to evil gods is actually common knowledge among the martial artists of Tianguan.
After all, which Heavenly Gate Warrior hasn't dealt with an evil god?
The fact that Bai Ze asked this question shows that he is neither a Heavenly Gate Warrior nor has much contact with Heavenly Gate Warriors.
But since he was able to rescue me, it means he's quite strong, and he should have had contact with the Heavenly Gate warriors, unless...."
Cheng Peng had a guess in his mind.
--young.
Because he was too young, even with such strength, he had little experience interacting with the martial artists of the Heavenly Gate.
Those who reach the level of Heavenly Gate Warriors have gradually developed a sense of time similar to that of immortal beings. A few years is like a few months for ordinary people. Each time they go to another world, they count the years, and they may not even return for ten or twenty years.
In this situation, it is indeed not easy for young people to come into contact with Heavenly Gate martial artists.
Among the young people of Dongxia today, there don't seem to be many who meet this condition.
Despite his youthful appearance, Cheng Peng is actually nearly a hundred years old.
It was during this conversation that he had already begun to suspect Bai Ze's identity.
However, Cheng Peng was unaware of this, because he was seriously injured at the moment, making it difficult for him to conceal his emotional fluctuations.
Bai Ze had actually anticipated Cheng Peng's thoughts.
Bai Ze simply smiled and didn't seem to care too much.
The information Cheng Peng revealed was enough to satisfy Bai Ze.
He knew about the Western Union's Vitality Tax before, but he never expected that it could be related to the belief in an evil god.
The essence of faith is spirit, and the power of faith is actually a product of fluctuations in mental consciousness. If mental consciousness is consumed too much, the power of faith produced may not even be as strong as that of an ordinary person.
It can only be said that the Western Union truly lives up to its name; even the evil god has to be defeated by the Western Union's invincible tax system.
At this moment, Cheng Peng, who had some suspicions about Bai Ze's identity, tentatively spoke up, saying, "Could you do me a favor?"
"Please speak," Bai Ze said with a smile.
"Help me contact the Dongxia Martial Arts Association and inform them of the situation in the primeval forest. Also, take me, the injured person, back with you," Cheng Peng promised. "Rest assured, I, Cheng Peng, will definitely repay your life-saving grace."
95
"Okay, I will deliver the intelligence to the Martial Arts Association." Bai Ze nodded.
Cheng Peng: "...Your next sentence isn't going to start with 'but,' is it?"
As an old man, he understood this kind of sudden change of topic all too well.
Just by listening to Bai Ze's tone, you can guess what he's going to say next.
Seeing this, Bai Ze had no choice but to grant Cheng Peng's wish.
"But," he said, "you can't go back yet."
"What does that mean?" Cheng Peng thought to himself, "As expected."
"It means there's a mole within the martial arts association or the military."
Bai Ze said, "Before you arrived, the other side already knew about the exposure of the primeval forest and gathered people to enter it."
Even your arrival was most likely known to the other party beforehand.
The five evil gods were holed up together in Hualetian, clearly not waiting for Bai Ze.
Bai Ze knew he posed a significant threat to Kosh'e, but not enough to warrant the combined attack of all five evil gods.
What they were actually waiting for was Cheng Peng.
"Once the evil god confirms that your condition, as the top firefighter in Dongxia, is too serious to recover from, they will have one less thing to worry about."
Bai Ze smiled and waved, taking a jade slip from Cheng Peng. "So, let Yun Cheng Wanli Peng remain invisible for now."
It sounds like that, all for the sake of the big picture, but Bai Ze's act of opening the jade slip seems to indicate that he has other plans.
"Well... I can still control the jade slip myself," Cheng Peng said. "And this jade slip needs to be unlocked by my divine sense..."
Before he could finish speaking, the jade slip emitted a faint light in Bai Ze's hand.
"It's okay, I can do it for you."
Bai Ze smiled and took Cheng Peng's place on the phone.
If Cheng Peng were to temporarily go into hiding, he could only contact others through the jade slip. Now the jade slip was in Bai Ze's hands, and Bai Ze had registered Cheng Peng's account.
This also means that Bai Ze is now Cheng Peng.
He will have access to Cheng Peng's network and his privileges, as long as he doesn't reveal his identity: "Personality model, build."
Bai Ze personified the Dharma Image as an intelligent brain, establishing Cheng Peng's personality model.
As for where the data comes from, some is collected online, and some is collected from previous conversations.
The former allowed Bai Ze to learn about Cheng Peng's general life story, while the latter allowed Bai Ze to simulate Cheng Peng's speaking habits.
Cheng Peng wanted to find out Bai Ze's background through communication, and Bai Ze wanted to do the same.
Although he was less experienced than this nearly 100-year-old man, Bai Ze still managed to succeed despite being caught off guard.
Bai Ze even simulated Cheng Peng's spiritual fluctuations and sent out information about the primeval forest and the five evil gods through the jade slip.
As for anything else, he didn't say a word.
Even if there is an inside agent, they wouldn't know Cheng Peng's specific situation.
The status and position of the Heavenly Gate martial artist were enough to warrant the mobilization of the Eastern Xia Martial Arts Association and even the military. Furthermore, there were also hidden agents within the Eternal Life Cult...
As Bai Ze pondered these thoughts, he approached Cheng Peng, intending to take him elsewhere.
However, at this moment—
A dull rumbling sound rang out, and the mountainside swayed slightly.
"My lord, something has happened."
The Heavenly Palace Dao Man, who was keeping watch outside, sent out a divine thought.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ze didn't even flinch, as if he had revealed his whereabouts.
He used his words as a cover the whole way.
Furthermore, Cheng Peng's side was also isolated by information concealed by Bai Ze.
Even if Cheng Peng is still corrupted by the power of the evil god, as long as the information is cut off, the other party will have difficulty sensing Cheng Peng's exact location.
As for the jade slip messages, they were also processed.
In theory, it would be impossible for the other party to find them by following the trail.
In reality—
A light mist was spreading outside the mountains, and in the blink of an eye it had turned into heavy clouds, deeply enveloping the mountain ranges.
Strange cries echoed through the fog, like the wailing of a baby or the cursing of a woman.
Upon hearing this voice, Tiangong Daoman, who was hiding on the mountain, immediately became apprehensive.
"Transform into a snake?"
This is a serpentine beast with a human-like face, wings on its back, and a body that resembles a hybrid of a jackal and a snake. It has jackal fur and limbs, but crawls on the ground like a snake.
Most importantly, the Shuiyun Marsh is home to a large number of Huashe snakes, which serve as the minions and reserve food for that Bashe snake.
The surrounding mist further convinced Tiangong Daoman that the current anomaly was related to Shuiyunze.
Rumble rumble—
The earth was still rumbling, and the movement was becoming increasingly noticeable.
Suddenly, a loud bang exploded.
A thick column of water broke through the ground, turning the surrounding area into a swamp.
Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared in the ground around the mountain, and streams of water, large and small, gushed out from them.
The baby's cries became sharp and incessant, rising from all directions and overlapping to form piercing sound waves.
"We've found you."
"9
The hoarse voice sounded like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, and human faces emerged from the water column, opening their mouths to release even sharper sonic whistles.
The sky seemed to vibrate as a result, creating waves of sound that blurred the heavens and the earth.
Those streams of water engulfed the surroundings, transforming into lakes with surging waves.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if a different world had emerged, turning the mountains and forests into a world of water.
"die!"
A human face burst forth from the water column, behind which were long, hairy snake necks with mouths wide open to the sides of the face, revealing sharp fangs.
"Brief Explanation of Divination: Fire Yin Summoning".
Tian Gong Dao Man immediately activated his true essence, transforming it into layers of dark green flames that formed a fiery cloud that surrounded the mountains.
This time, when Tengu Dōman came to the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Pokémon Master did not bring his shikigami, but his own strength was not weak either.
The techniques he created by combining the ancient Japanese book "Zhan Shi Lue Jue" with martial arts are enough to demonstrate his strength as a nine-star martial artist.
The billowing fire clouds, unlike the intense heat of ordinary fires, carried a chilling and eerie quality. Upon contact with the water vapor, instead of extinguishing, they seemed to collide with oil, igniting into a vast expanse of flame.
