563 Recreating the Dao (1/2)

”The Creator is half-human and half-snake... In reality, this means that she belongs to - the demons!”

Fang Yuan rode on his horse and started to think about the statue he saw in the temple. A wide grin appeared on his face. ”This also means... In this generation, The Creator is not only the god of the humans but the leader of all demons!”

The influence of such a god would be too scary to imagine.

In fact, she could possibly be the strongest being in this realm!

”The Shang Empire is destined to fall, but its 500-year foundation is still nevertheless strong. Unless The Creator personally interferes, it is almost impossible to destroy the empire in such a short time...”

”This is the heavenly will!”

Fang Yuan was too clear about the limitations of the gods.

Since gods gain their powers from their followers, they had to conform to the rules of the realm. They would still be under the control of the heavens.

As soon as the heavens decide on the fate of the Shang Empire, The Creator would not hold back. Instead, she would be the one causing it, as seen from how the heavens could make use of her.

”Unless she becomes an ancient god, she would never stand a chance in opposing the heavens... Therefore, she will likely be the one to cause the downfall of the Shang Empire.”

Thinking about Prince Pan who had just left, Fang Yuan sighed.

The prince's demeanour, humility and wisdom made him the perfect candidate to be king. If he were to be successful in taking the throne, the Shang Empire might stand a chance to survive.

Unfortunately for him, the heavens were strict!

”If I had persuaded him just now and decided to help him to become king, I'm afraid I will put myself at a risk. This is the heavenly will, his fate, and the trend of this realm...”

Fang Yuan sighed.

”Master, where are we going now?”

Hei Zhong rode a tall horse and the foxes curled up on his shoulders, making him seem as though he was wearing a silver scarf. Ge Nie was struggling to maintain his balance on his own horse as he gripped the horse's fur tightly, afraid that he would fall.

”The western countries, naturally!”

Fang Yuan had planned to journey towards the Northwest all along. ”The strong powers are at Shang and the West. Of course, we'll have to go there to take a look!”

As a dream traverser, he had a huge advantage for having knowledge of all worlds he had visited before.

Even a sage such as The Ancient One could only vaguely sense the changes in the realm and predict the downfall of the Shang Empire. However, he could not possibly have any idea as to what would cause it.

However, Fang Yuan was different!

With the memories of Jie and the understanding of this realm, Fang Yuan could easily deduce the cause of everything.

”It's a pity... I don't have enough power! If I have a vast intelligence network, I will be able to transmit information quickly to find the likes of Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao...”

”Also... This realm does not seem to discriminate against dream elemental force. I can attempt to try out the new dream master technique and restore my cultivation...”

Fang Yuan whipped his horse and rode towards the horizon as his mind raced.

After a day, the sun finally set and the moon rose over the horizon.

Hei Zhong and Ge Nie pitched a tent near a river, caught a few sparrows and rabbits and prepared dinner for the 5 of them.

The two foxes hugged their drumstick and ate it to the bones. After dinner, they faced the moon, released their Yin spirits and started to cultivate the essence of the moon.

”The two of them are more hardworking than you!”

Heng Zhong lashed out at Ge Nie. ”Nie, Master has told me that if your progress is not satisfactory, he will kick you out!”

”Yes senior!”

Ge Nie crossed his leg and sat on a rock. He started to absorb the essence of the moon and shivered coldly. A layer of frost settled on his hair.

However, he was a hardworking person. Even as his teeth chattered and his lips bled, he managed to attain the skill of absorption and entered a trance, his mind at peace.

”Master... look! I've been strict on him and he has finally made it!”

Hei Zhong reported to Fang Yuan, hoping to gain some credit for it.

”You even dare to tell me about it? He is just a newcomer but his progress is almost catching up to yours...” Fang Yuan glared at him. ”If he overtakes you, you will get it from me...”

”Master, don't worry!”

Hei Zhong shuddered in fear and quickly located an empty plot of land to begin his cultivation.

To him, the pain of cultivation was nothing compared to the torture which Fang Yuan could possibly give him.

With this threat, he obediently followed Fang Yuan's instructions.

”Hmmm... Thewhich I have created is considered complete!”

Looking at Hei Zhong and Ge Nie in their states of cultivation, Fang Yuan silently observed the flow of Yin Energy in their meridians and nodded his head.

This technique was indeed created for demons. After his adaptation, Fang Yuan managed to make it suitable for humans. Of course, it was still not perfect yet, but good enough.

Even for such a basic technique, Hei Zhong had to try many times before being able to use it to its full potential.
