Chapter 1818: No Longer Human

Zhou Wen activated the Human Realm domain and plucked a ginseng fruit from the tree. Then, he summoned Banana Fairy and let her eat it.

Zhou Wen had already eaten the ginseng fruit. It wasn’t of much use to him and couldn’t provide him further improvement.

Demonic Neonate refused to eat it at all. After some thought, he decided to let Banana Fairy try it first. If she could improve further, she might have a chance of restraining the Demon Bull’s nose ring.

“Banana Fairy’s stats +100.”

After eating a ginseng fruit, Banana Fairy’s stats increased tremendously, making Zhou Wen overjoyed.

Without any hesitation, he plucked the ginseng fruits and got Banana Fairy to eat them.

“Banana Fairy’s stats +85… Banana Fairy’s stats +79…”

Although the effects of every ginseng fruit were decreasing, her stats kept rising. In the blink of an eye, she had eaten 64 of them. All her stats had reached 998. She was just short of reaching the limit of 999.

After eating a few more, her stats didn’t increase at all.

Zhou Wen was a little obsessive-compulsive. He felt a little uncomfortable seeing that missing stat point. After all, the Wuzhuang Daoist Temple dungeon was a game. There would be plenty of opportunities to grind for ginseng fruits in the future. He immediately continued feeding her one after another.

That single point was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. When she ate the 70th fruit, she remained short of the last point.

There was no point in saving the last two. He fed them to Banana Fairy. Finally, after eating the 72nd fruit, all her stats reached 999.

She had to eat all 72 of them to max out her stats! Zhou Wen was still delighted. Knowing that the ginseng fruit had such an effect, he could raise the levels of the other Companion Beasts in the future.

He imagined taking a group of 999-stat Calamity preciouses to clear dungeons in the future. The scene made the corners of Zhou Wen’s mouth curl up.

However, after respawning the dungeon, he was somewhat depressed.

The respawn time for Wuzhuang Daoist Temple’s ginseng fruit was a year. To grind another 999-stat Calamity pet would take a year.

It’s better than nothing. Zhou Wen wasn’t in a rush. He could slowly grind in the future. It was better than nothing.

The legendary ginseng fruit could only be eaten once every nine thousand years. In comparison, a year wasn’t long.

I wonder if the 999-stat Calamity Banana Fairy can be of any use against the Demon Bull’s nose ring. Zhou Wen launched Mount Laojun again and charged forward with the Fiend-Armored Tiger Soul General and Banana Fairy.

The True Demon Crane was extremely stingy. It dropped dimensional crystals every time, but none of the truly good things dropped.

It wasn’t easy for him to reach the Demon Bull again. After a battle, the Demon Bull grabbed the nose ring with both hands and aimed it at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen held the banana fan in one hand and fanned at the Demon Bull.

Banana Fairy’s Calamity Zone was called “Yin Yang World.” Together with the only skill, Supreme Yin Wind, an invisible tornado swept towards the Demon Bull.

Originally, as long as the nose ring shone on them, it would definitely spell death for Zhou Wen and the Fiend-Armored Tiger Soul General. They couldn’t even last a second. This time, he didn’t immediately kill them. After a second or two, the game screen went black.

The banana fan indeed has a restraining effect on the Demon Bull’s nose ring. It’s only because there’s a huge level difference between the two that the restraining effect is relatively ordinary. If they were both at the Apocalypse grade, it would probably be much easier to crack the Demon Bull’s nose ring. Zhou Wen was overjoyed.

Although the delay was only slightly more than a second, there were already all sorts of possibilities. As long as he killed the Demon Bull in that second, the nose ring naturally wouldn’t be a threat.

As for letting Banana Fairy advance to the Apocalypse grade, Zhou Wen didn’t even dare think about it. Even he couldn’t advance to the Apocalypse grade, much less Banana Fairy.

Zhou Wen began grinding Mount Laojun dungeon again and again, constantly searching for the possibility of killing the Demon Bull.

While Zhou Wen was grinding dungeons, the Zhang and Xia families had sent people to contact Li Xuan, hoping to relocate their entire family to Guide Ancient City.

These two families had deep foundations. It was unexpected for them to give up their ancestral business to come to Guide Ancient City. It left Zhou Wen and Li Xuan surprised.

However, they had always had a good relationship with the two families. Furthermore, Zhang Yuzhi and Xia Xuanyue were in Guide Ancient City. This matter went very smoothly.

After discussing all sorts of details, the two families gradually relocated to Guide Ancient City.

“Brother Zhang, I still want to hear your reasons,” Zhou Wen suddenly asked when he walked Zhang Chunqiu out.

“Even if you didn’t ask me, I still want to find an opportunity to chat with you about this matter.” Zhang Chunqiu paused before saying, “As you know, our family’s former Hero King has a deep relationship with Jing Daoxian.”

“I’ve heard of that.” Zhou Wen nodded.

“My patriarch had no choice but to harm his lover, the person Jing Daoxian liked. For that woman, Jing Daoxian nearly slaughtered all the upper echelons of the Federation.” Zhang Chunqiu hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I’m afraid this will happen again.”

“You’re saying that Wang Mingyuan had experienced the same thing…” Zhou Wen had heard a little from Jing Daoxian. Although he had some guesses, he was still somewhat surprised when he heard that.

“It’s a little different.” Zhang Chunqiu sighed and said, “Our Zhang family also happened to know something about Wang Mingyuan. His wife and daughter might have died in the chaos of war.”

“You mean that his wife and daughter didn’t die at the hands of a creature, but were killed by humans?” Zhou Wen understood what ‘chaos of war’ meant.

Zhang Chunqiu nodded. “I don’t know the details. My patriarch guessed that they might have been accidentally killed during the chaos.”

“Could it be that the person who killed his wife and daughter is very strong? Even Wang Mingyuan can’t take revenge?” Zhou Wen frowned.

“No, those people aren’t strong. Furthermore, they are already long dead. They died tragically. It was probably Wang Mingyuan’s doing.” Zhang Chunqiu shook his head.

“Then why…” Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled. Since Wang Mingyuan had taken revenge, why was the Zhang family so worried?

“Back then, my patriarch met Wang Mingyuan and even played a game of chess with him. Do you know what my patriarch said about him?” Zhang Chunqiu said with a complicated expression.

Zhou Wen didn’t say a word as he looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

“This person is extremely stubborn. He has a route he has charted in his heart and is no longer human. If he can’t become a hero who changes the world in the future, he has to become the Devil Lord who destroys the world.” Zhang Chunqiu sighed.

Zhou Wen understood what he meant and said in frustration, “Does it mean that no matter what, he will change the order of the world?”

“An inhuman heart probably doesn’t abide by the ways of the world. If such a person establishes a new order, it will definitely be through bloodshed.” With that said, Zhang Chunqiu bade farewell and left.

Zhou Wen couldn’t calm down for a long time. After he completely calmed down, he set off for Luoyang.

    Chapter 1818: Born Proud

    “Young Master Wen, you’re back.” An Sheng immediately greeted Zhou Wen with a grin.


    “Ah Sheng, is An Tianzuo around?” Zhou Wen asked.

    “Overseer is in his office. Why are you looking for him?” An Sheng was somewhat surprised. The two of them had never gotten along, so why was Zhou Wen taking the initiative to look for An Tianzuo?

    “I have something to discuss with him.” Zhou Wen wanted them to move to Guide City. Even if it wasn’t for the An family, it would be safer for Zhou Lingfeng and Ouyang Lan.

    “I’ll take you to him.” An Sheng hurriedly led the way and took Zhou Wen to An Tianzuo’s office.

    “What’s the matter?” An Tianzuo’s expression was cold. He had never been nice to Zhou Wen.

    “I came this time hoping that the An family can move to Guide Ancient City.” Zhou Wen looked at An Tianzuo with a complicated expression. He still couldn’t accept the fact that An Tianzuo was his biological brother.

    “Are you worried about Wang Mingyuan?” An Tianzuo immediately understood Zhou Wen’s intentions.

    “Yes, I heard that Wang Mingyuan’s wife and daughter might have died in the war. His home was here. If he returns, Luoyang will probably be his first target,” Zhou Wen explained.

    “I understand what you mean, but the An family can’t leave.” An Tianzuo’s expression softened.

    “Why?” Zhou Wen asked with a frown.

    “The An family’s decades of research and plans are all in Luoyang. The present Luoyang City, or rather, the entire Luoyang area, is the fruits of our labor. After leaving Luoyang, everything will have to be redone. There’s no time,” An Tianzuo said.

    Zhou Wen didn’t understand what An Tianzuo meant. An Sheng hurriedly added, “We have always been engaged in research on converting dimensional energy into technological weapons. We have already converted most of the dimensional zones in Luoyang into energy pools. We guide the dimensional energy in them to store as energy. Once a war happens, the entire Luoyang area will become a war machine that combines offense and defense. It can be said that Luoyang is now a huge war fortress. If there really comes a day when someone needs to stand up to protect Earth’s home, this will be the last resort.”

    Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised when he heard that. To be able to guide the power of a dimensional zone to be used for their purposes was indeed amazing. However, he didn’t know how far the research progress that An Tianzuo and company had made and if they could fight an Apocalypse-grade powerhouse.

    “Take Uncle Zhou, the Empress Dowager, Little Jing, Ya’er, and a portion of the An family members to Guide Ancient City,” An Tianzuo said after some thought.

    For a person like him to say such words meant that he had acknowledged Zhou Wen. Otherwise, how could he entrust the most important people to Zhou Wen?

    “I still have something on. I won’t be meeting Aunt Lan and the rest. Help me by taking this to them.” Zhou Wen saw the determination in An Tianzuo’s eyes and didn’t persuade him further. He only left some ginseng fruits and got An Sheng to arrange for Zhou Lingfeng and company to go to Guide Ancient City.

    After leaving the An family, Zhou Wen went to Wang Lu.

    “Why are you here?” Wang Lu was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Wen.

    “Luoyang isn’t safe. If you don’t mind, the Wang family can move to Guide Ancient City.” Zhou Wen directly stated his intentions.

    “Alright.” Wang Lu didn’t ask why it wasn’t safe and agreed immediately.

    “Try this.” Zhou Wen handed a ginseng fruit to Wang Lu.

    “Is this the famous ginseng fruit that people were talking about a while ago?” Wang Lu took the ginseng fruit and sized it up curiously.

    “That’s right. If an ordinary person eats it, they can immediately advance a realm. If they are half a step away from advancing to the Calamity grade, one fruit can directly advance them to the Calamity grade,” Zhou Wen said.

    “It’s more suitable for you to use such a precious item.” Wang Lu wanted to return the ginseng fruit to Zhou Wen.

    “I still have plenty. Furthermore, this thing is useless to me.” Zhou Wen paused before saying, “I’ll get An Sheng to help arrange for the Wang family to move to Guide Ancient City. If there’s anything you need, tell him. I’ll make a trip to the Moon to see if I can bring Wang Chan back.”

    With that said, Zhou Wen left the Wang family.

    After Zhou Wen left, Wang Lu looked at the ginseng fruit in her hand and didn’t eat it. Instead, she placed it on a plate and placed everything in a glass cabinet.

    On the Moon, Wang Chan nearly jumped up in joy when she saw Zhou Wen.

    She was almost bored to death on the Moon. There was no other human around, so how could someone her age withstand it?

    Zhou Wen also gave her a ginseng fruit. Wang Chan finished it in a few bites. She found it delicious and asked Zhou Wen for two more.

    Zhou Wen didn’t mind and gave her two more. To his surprise, Wang Chan didn’t eat them again. Instead, she ran to the Moon Goddess and gave the two ginseng fruits to her.

    “You’re here to take Wang Chan away, right?” Moon Goddess asked Zhou Wen.

    “Yes, if possible, can you move to Guide Ancient City with me?” Zhou Wen asked.

    “Wang Chan’s Life Providence can’t be changed, but it can probably be controlled now. You can take her back.” After a pause, Moon Goddess said, “I won’t be going. If the Moon dies, this world won’t need a Moon Goddess.”

    Zhou Wen persuaded her a little more and told her that if the Moon Goddess couldn’t leave the Moon because of some restrictions, he would think of a way to help her leave.

    “I appreciate your kindness, but there’s really no need. Sometimes, living isn’t necessarily the best choice.” Moon Goddess still rejected Zhou Wen’s kindness, having no plans on leaving.

    Zhou Wen had no choice but to take Wang Chan back to Guide Ancient City and think of a way to talk it through with the Moon Goddess in the future.

    As dimensional zones broke out on a large scale, communication between humans everywhere became more and more difficult. Earth had already become a paradise for dimensional creatures.

    Apart from inviting his family and friends to move to Guide Ancient City, Zhou Wen had been constantly grinding dungeons.

    He had a feeling that Wang Mingyuan was about to return.

    Li Xuan also migrated his family over, but Li Mobai wasn’t among them. Li Xuan angrily complained to Zhou Wen. Li Mobai didn’t know what was good for him. He was too stubborn.

    Li Xuan didn’t cook up a fuss, but Li Mobai didn’t act any better. He didn’t take Li Xuan seriously at all and showed no intention of joining Li Xuan in Guide Ancient City.

    “Some people are born proud,” Zhou Wen said with a smile. It reminded him of someone.

    After rounds of battle, Zhou Wen finally found the Demon Bull’s weakness.

    It was impossible to break through its powerful body from the outside. Only from the inside could one severely injure it.

    While the Demon Bull was using sound waves to attack, Zhou Wen gathered all his strength in the Human World domain and injected it into the Demon Bull’s body like a needle, immediately severely injuring it.

    It sounded very easy, but to do so, he first needed the banana fan that could restrain the nose ring. He also had to think of a way to make the Demon Bull use a sound wave attack in that split second. Furthermore, he had to make sure that the Demon Bull didn’t have the chance to close his mouth. He then had to withstand the sound wave attack and deliver the injection. To accomplish this, Zhou Wen died thousands of times.

    Boom!

    The Demon Bull’s body fell to the ground and something dropped.

    This is… Zhou Wen’s eyes lit up when he saw the items.
