Lord of End of World

Chapter 9



Time passed by, it's been almost a month and the young master still couldn't understand his school lessons and used the learning time to cultivate his internal forces. From the age of three, he had been practicing "Reverse Spirits". The young master was naturally familiar with this path. Together with the pure yin body and reverse veins, the cultivation speed progressed in leaps and bounds. In just a month, he has broken through the first level.


The first level of Reverse Spirit could spread out the internal force to the external body making it so that knife and gun did not enter and made it seem as though a fly was hitting a wall. When the cultivation reached the second level, killing was as easy as picking flowers; at the third level, there was no need to eat anymore and the energy was endless; at fourth level, it becomes overwhelming; the fifth level was difficult to reach. As for the sixth, seventh and eight level, he doesn't know the extent of power at those level because no one had ever reached those heights. However, it's been said in legends that those who reached the eighth level of Reverse Spirits could no longer be called human, living with the heavens and earth and playing with the sun and the moon. Such people should be called gods.


Xiao Shaozu didn't expect to be able to cultivate to the eight level of martial arts because only those who had truly cultivated Reverse Spirits knew that the higher you went in cultivation level, the more difficult were the breakthroughs. He relied on his two lifetime of experience and his reverse vein physique to quickly lay the foundations. When it came to the second, third and fourth levels, not only would they take time to breakthrough but one also needed to face life and death situations. If there were no enemies, there were no "death" experience.


In his past life, he practiced day and night and swallowed countless panacea medicines. He was only able to practice to the third level, after that, the martial arts could not progress further. If it wasn't for his stagnant skills that he couldn't grow even a little bit in several years, Xiao Lin wouldn't've decided to absorb him so quickly.


In this life, he devoted himself to a peaceful and prosperous life and was cared for by his family and friends. The young master's desire to become stronger was far less intense in this life than in his previous one. Thus, his cultivation only focused on the nature of convenience and not on speed.


The young master's days were very comfortable and those who used to bully him often now trembled in fear. Without him, the usual parties disappeared overnight and the Fang family quietly retreated from the provincial military.


After Fang Hao received the threat from Xiao Shaozu, he felt uneasy in his heart. Finally, he couldn't handle the fear and told his family the story. After his family members heard the news, they were shocked. They were uncertain if Gong Lixin would retaliate like he said he would. However, with the report of Song Haoran's character, Fang Hao and Fang family didn't even have to think about it.


The Fang family's influence was not good enough. They barely got a foothold into the sea of power and couldn't afford to gamble. They didn't dare gamble. After a family discussion, they sent Fang Hao away to the countryside. Fang family also took the opportunity to exit the provincial military since it was controlled by Song Haoran.


There was no impenetrable wall in the world. Children who were connected to the military circle soon heard of Fang family's circumstance and they all looked at Gong Lixin with mixed feelings. Sure enough, dogs can bite and a weak cat that looks gentle may also be a tiger.


In front of Gong Lixin, they did a 180 in regards to their attitude. After the dust settled, the incident was never mentioned again. The young master was also used to being served by people in the underground palace. It was normal for these people to behave like that, just as it was natural for him to order them. Everyone saw his extraordinary temperament and treated him more cautiously.


The young master's days passed by very comfortably and soon, he has integrated into modern society. It's just that he couldn't find Fang Hao and make him regret his actions. However, while in the Underground Palace, the young master remembered one sentence by heart and that was, "it's never too late for a gentleman to take his revenge". This little master was very happy to be a gentleman and he had plenty of time. There would come a day where he would meet Fang Hao.


With such a thought, when he finally concluded that he couldn't find Fang Hao, the youth wrote Fang Hao's name on top of a bottle of Spring Dan and awaited the day he could collect on his debt to the original owner of this body.


In this way, another half a month passed, the young master's entourage was occupied by children the same age as him. From their conversations, he learned more about the world and he no longer appeared to be out of place. In his spare time, the little master also learned how to go online and often searched martial arts movies on the Internet which had become his most favorite past time.


However, it was only the calm before the storm. The young master came home from school one day, accompanied by Song Big Brother. When they opened the door, they saw his father who looked a sickly green, his sister who had furrowed brows and a face full of grievance and a quiet and helpless Lin Wenbo.


The atmosphere in the living room was gloomy and the servants were watching on from a distance. The young master put down his schoolbag, went to his father's side and sat down. He learned how to show filial piety towards his father from watching TV thus he patted the back of Gong father's hand. He asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"


Adapted to modern life, the small lord was very fond of the loving father and the majestic Gong head of the family. He no longer called him father after the first time he was reborn into this world but called the other "dad" instead.


Recently, this little boy became well-behaved and no longer hid himself as usual and often accompanied him to chat. Seeing his little face, Gong father who was filled fear was soothed and his anger subsided a little.


"Lixin, I want you to persuade your sister to still go through her wedding half a month from now. The invitations were already sent out. But now, she's saying she doesn't want to get married! What a mess!" Gong father's face fell as he glanced at Gong Xiangyi.


The little master was surprised to see Gong Xiangyi, he didn't know how to persuade her. His relationship with this sister of his was not as good as Gong father imagines. He has been with them for more than a month. Gong Xiangyi didn't say anything to him the whole time. She always glared at him which made him very uncomfortable.


Song Haoran heard about the situation and sat down next to the little master. He turned to Gong Xiangyi on the opposite side and asked in a serious voice: "Xiangyi, why do you want to cancel the wedding? Are you in trouble? Let us help you solve it, don't bear it all on your own."


"That's right, Xiangyi, let daddy take care of the big things and don't joke about such a lifelong event." Gong father had calmed down by now and comforted his daughter.


Lin Wenbo didn't say anything but his arm was tightly wrapped around Gong Xiangyi's shoulders. His big hand wrapped around her little hand and gently shook it to express his silent comfort.


Gong Xiangyi's expressionless face finally cracked a bit. She quickly glanced at Gong Lixin, who was beside Gong father and spoke carefully. "Dad, Wenbo, Haoran, come with me, I have something to say."


The three that were named looked at each other, then they got up and followed her into her room before closing the door.


The glimpse of Gong Xiangyi's stance against him was seen by the young master and he naturally knew that she would not let him hear her next words. In the underground palace, after struggling to survive for 16 years, there were some people who were a little wary of him. The more Gong Xiangyi didn't want him to know, the more he wanted to know.


Rubbing his lips, he carried his bag to his room and set it down beside the bookshelf before he focused on his ears and easily heard the conversation everyone was having in the other room. He had quite a bit of internal force now and his five senses were superb. He could easily hear whispers within ten feet but if he didn't want to, he could easily block it out.


If he reached the third level of Reverse Spirits, the radius of control his senses could detect would increase to a hundred miles, Gong Xiangyi's little defense could not help her.


Next door, Gong Xiangyi didn't mention her own rebirth. She had already decided to take that secret to the grave. She only mentioned that she suddenly began to dream and these dreams foresaw the end of the world.


Gong father, Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo were all silent and didn't express their opinions regarding her tale. Although a few among them thought her words were ridiculous, they couldn't bear to interrupt when they saw her uneasy look.


Gong Xiangyi didn't stop, mentioning signs and events before the end of the world and the tragic situation after the outbreak.


Three months before the end of the world, animals began to change. Some animals suddenly increased in size overnight. Some animals grew horns or wings. After the animals were changed, an influenza exploded in humans. Seventy percent of people got a fever or even went into a coma, but without even waiting for a treatment, these people would heal after three days.


But that was only the beginning. Two months after that, the longest eclipse would envelop the Earth. After the eclipse ended, most of those who had gotten a fever would suddenly become a zombie while very few would gain abilities.


The process of turning into a zombie was only completed at the end of the solar eclipse and after the light returned. The new zombies suddenly became a problem as even the slightest scratch would make one infected with the zombie virus and among those many that survived, turned into zombies in that way.


But that was not the worst. What was even more horrifying was that these zombies would evolve over time. The evolved zombies were faster, their body was harder, their movements were more flexible. They could bend over, climb, run and have power over metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, space, mind and so on. Under the threat of evolutionary zombies, the hope of human survival was dim.


Fortunately, there was a solution. After the evolution of zombies, an energy crystal nucleus would form in their brain. The nucleus of the first level zombie had a shape of a transparent six-pointed diamond and this nucleus could be absorbed by other ability users. The energy of those who absorbed it became stronger and the ability they possessed to protect themselves also became stronger.


The nucleus of the second-level zombies starts possessing colors corresponding to their respective abilities. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder respectively corresponded to yellow, green, blue, red, brown, white, purple and other colors. The nucleus of space zombies and strength zombies were cyan and black respectively. The higher the level of the zombie, the darker the color of the nucleus and the larger it was.


After the ability level evolves to the second level, they could only absorb nucleus with the same energy property as their own to upgrade, otherwise, they would die. After the secret of the nucleus was discovered, human beings became strong and launched a long-running struggle against the zombies for the right to exist.


Gong Xiangyi said all this with pain etched in her voice. Her father and the other two on the side heard all this and were stunned and didn't know what to say.


Seeing everyone's doubt, Gong Xiangyi bowed her head and smiled. She spread her palm and said: "I know that you don't believe me but what I said is true. Besides the ability of prophecy, I still have another power, the space ability. See here."


As the words fell, she suddenly had a bag of flour in her hand. The bag of flour is heavy and it took Gong Xiangyu both hands to hold it. It was definitely not hidden using magic tricks.


Gong father and the others saw the flour that suddenly appeared and their expression showed shock. The little boy next door also perceived the addition of this heavy object in Gong Xiangyi's room from the slight change in the air. He was surprised, raised his eyebrows and paid more attention to Gong Xiangyi's words than before.


It seemed that he had to understand the situation of this "apocalypse". The young master was thinking hard.


At the other end of the room, Gong Xiangyi brought out a few bags of rice and a few baskets of fruits. She saw that Gong father and the others were shocked and finally had to believe her words.


Gong Xiangyi saw that everyone had been persuaded and finally let go of the thoughts that have been supressing her for more than a month. In this month, she tried her best to gather necessities. Where would she find the time to prepare for a wedding? Moreover, she remembers that her wedding was very expensive; the daytime ceremony coupled with the evening banquet added up to tens of millions. With so much money spent, it was better to save money for other resources.


After the outbreak of the apocalypse, law and morality were also ruined. The chaos of throwing away a wife and abandoning children and eating other humans became the social norm. Who would value a "marriage certificate" equivalent to a piece of paper?


Last life, Gong Xiangyi and Lin Wenbo were in the middle of the apocalypse and, in the end, didn't their bond become weaker? In this life, Gong Xiangyi made up her mind to become a woman who could stand by Lin Wenbo's side, not hidden and protected, so that she could hold onto Lin Wenbo's heart for a long time. How does the space ability become useful? Of course, by collecting as many materials as possible and support Lin Wenbo.


In the heart of Gong Xiangyi's calculations, Lin Wenbo and others naturally didn't know that she suffered from such heavy pressure. After someone broke the silence, they quickly began planning and discussing on how to deal with the end of the world.


As for Gong Lixin who framed her in the last life, Gong Xiangyi had already planned on not taking care of him. And, when the apocalypse started, she would find an opportunity to get rid of this younger brother of hers. Afraid that Gong father and the others will tell him that he would die, Gong Xiangyi repeatedly warned Gong father and others not to tell Gong Lixin about the apocalypse.


Gong Lixin didn't do anything after he heard the shocking news that he might die. This situation was by no means pleasant for Gong Lixin.


Gong father was in the military and had a political post but he didn't dare preach of the coming apocalypse. They could only secretly defend themselves. If the rumors spread through out from Gong family, causing social unrest, the Song family would definitely take the opportunity to rectify the Gong family. The apocalypse was coming, time is life and Gong father still had a lot of things to prepare and there was no time to deal with the Song family.


Gong father considered Gong Xiangyi's proposal and promised not to mention the matter in front of his son. When the apocalypse really did break out, he would slowly explain to his son. He was still small and his ability was limited. Gong father secretly worried.


Gong father's concern aside, Song Haoran also understood Gong Xiangyi's explanation but feels that there's nothing wrong with telling Lixin. But then he thinks Lixin will have his protection in case of any accident and thus agreed to it. As for Lin Wenbo, he and Gong Xiangyi were in love with each other so naturally, he would listen to Gong Xiangyi's instructions.


The four people in the room reached a consensus but they didn't know that the person they were thinking about had already heard their conversation clearly. After they started discussing the materials needed to be prepared, the young master no longer listened. He turned on his computer and began searching for more information about the apocalypse.


Even if the world becomes a human purgatory, as long as there was still a bit of hope, he must live well. Just like when he was imprisoned in the dark Underground Palace in his previous life, he believed that as long as he persisted, he would be free and happy.


Nowadays, the dreams of freedom and happiness was in his grasp. What else was there to fear? However, a group of walking dead, it was easy to kill. As the little boy stared at the scene of flesh and blood on the computer screen and the scene of zombies everywhere, his eyes gradually sharpened.
