Overgod Ch47

 Chapter 47: County visit

After the Spring Festival, the fourth year of peace was gone forever, and in a blink of an eye, it was now the fifth year.

In the early morning, the sun began his rise.

Wu Ming stood up at the top of the attic with a solemn face. His lungs were flaring as he faced towards the east and breathed in. Purple Qi fell as the clouds transpired.

When the first dawn of the morning sun broke, Wu Ming didn't dare to move anymore. His face flashed fluorescence, he used the method of inner refinement to turn the morning sun's Purple Qi into Heaven Gold Jade Liquid and swallowed it in three mouthfuls.

"This method of inner refinement, with my original body of an Innate Martial Artist as a foundation, I have broken through all the way bravely and diligently, so there was no difficulty..."

After half an hour, Wu Ming slowly recovered and looked inwards silently. He saw that in the chaos, the scope of the Sea of Consciousness expanded by one point. Knowing that he was making progress again, he nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, there was another gloom on the surface:

"On the second day of February, it is the rise of the dragon! Dragon's Gate Meet!"

At this time, there is some urgency.

"Sister Wu Qing went back to the Dao Institute to prepare immediately after New Year. I'm afraid that it's a sign of something to come!"

"It's a pity... even though I've crossed the Dao threshold and entered the barrier quickly. But if you want to participate, you will need to be very powerful. Like steering a boat in the raging sea, you will soon be crushed if you're not careful!"

"The only way to increase strength quickly is in the Overgod Palace!"

 Wu Ming smiled: "There should be Reincarnators who are not worried about the Missions. It is rare for fools like me who looks forward to starting soon!"

He went downstairs and walked into a tunnel.

Wu Ming frowned slightly. The filthy atmosphere was lingering here.

The lights were dim and after a few steps deep, he saw a dungeon-like building.

Sounds of whips and tragic screams continued to come from this door.

"I have seen Young Master!"

When the door opened, Wu Tiehu was grinning but as he met Wu Ming, he was startled and quickly saluted.

"Well, how are the people inside?"

Wu Ming asked.

He had also thoroughly studied the profound light on Wu Tiehu. This came from the stars and was the vision of the Ominous Star and he, who received the light of a certain fierce star, will surely make a career in the future.

Of course, it was only a trace. Should the real stars come to life, the pattern would be limitless.

However, even if it was only a trace, it was not a fate that could be restricted. In troubled times, heroes have a place where they can display their abilities. The original lieutenant was not restricted and when the time comes, he could become a general.

'The way of fate is not static. The Son of Heaven [1], a True Dragon, is a true master of fate. He can change others' fate with the nation's luck qi. Day and night, it is the star of the world, and Earth Dragon's Qi can change the amount of equipment...'

Wu Ming knew this very well.

Even in troubled times, the fate of Flood Dragons, True Dragons, and Hidden Dragons are not necessarily born.

At most, he was born with a little luck hidden deep. In a peaceful time, it would be useless and was quite easy to waste a lifetime.

Only when it is in harmony with the general trend of the world, would he receive the will of heavens and earth, slowly sculpting him as he grows. After the general trend is achieved, he would become fly to become a dragon in the sky.

Otherwise, if there are more people like Wu Ming, wouldn't all of them be found?

This is also the case with Wu Tiehu.

With a hint of fierce starlight, it just made him a little better than ordinary people. He was irritable by nature and had extraordinary bravery. If he continues to hang around, maybe he'll just go to the talent market.

But once a soldier is in control with authority. His evolution is initiated and will be different at this moment!

Even with the continuous expansion of the person's authority and luck, it can attract the stars to invest more and become a real star life!

'Which Ominous Star corresponds with him?'

How could Wu Ming not know how vast is the power of the stars? Born with a trace of profound light, the entire land under Heavens does not speak of a thousand but of eight hundred!

Becoming a famous Ominous Star, there are thousands of possibilities!

With so many seeds brings a large variety of crops. Those who fall half-way are unworthy of attention. If they are good, they will invest more until the fate of the last star is determined. That is when the Mandate of Heavendescends to this world.

'This is quite similar to the way of the Struggle of Dragons. According to Wu Tiehu's aptitude and fate, if he wants to attract the Ominous Star's fate, he must at least see its body, which he at least needs real authority and the luck of a Seventh Grade official! It would then be possible to truly respond to the stars and get support from his fate. Becoming a third-rank or even a first-rank general is a possibility...' 

'It's just that...  According to the rumors, these civil servants and military commanders who are ordered by the stars to come to assist the True Dragon, Son of Heaven are all signs of troubled times... Is this world... really going to be in chaos? ’

Wu Tiehu didn't know that Wu Ming was in a trance so he naturally shrugged off. At this time, he bowed and said: "In the same way that Old Ma also said, there is not much to ask and he won't last any longer either."

"Ok!"

When Wu Ming entered the dungeon, he saw a bloody figure lying on the ground. His thigh was broken and he exhaled more and inhaled less.

The dead grey eyes landed on Wu Ming and moved again, revealing a scarred and haggard face. It was the Zhou family's deacon, Yu Cheng!

When he saw Wu Ming, his whole body convulsed.

"Well! Seeing me coming should indicate that the Wu family is still intact, you're giving up hope, right?"

Wu Ming said lightly; he already saw a ray of despair in Yu Cheng's eyes.

"You are a smart man, so naturally, you should've guessed that the Zhou family have abandoned you... To tell you the truth, the Zhou family has already listed your crimes and removed you! Your family members have been kicked out, which can be considered a clean break off..."

"Although there will still be care in secret, you have kids at home. You should know that people take the tea cold. This kind of kindness is the most unstable. When the main family can't remember it, how much affection is left?"

Wu Ming said slowly, but Yu Cheng's eyes flickered.

"I won't hide it from you, you will undoubtedly die. This time, it is your last chance..."

"If you can hand information that can touch my heart right now, I can give your family some money and take care of one or two secretly.

"You can choose not to believe me, but if you want to keep your family, this is your only choice!"

After some cold words which put the cold reality in front of Yu Cheng, Wu Ming directly turned around and went out.

When he got to the ground and breathed some fresh air, he finally sighed.

"Young Master, Yu Cheng is dead, this is the last thing he wrote!"

After a while, Wu Tiehu came back and presented to him a piece of paper with a few lines of twisted fonts.

"En, you've worked hard. Go to the accountant and receive fifty taels of silver. As for that Old Ma, reward with twenty taels! There are rules, do you remember?"

Wu Ming said casually but Wu Tiehu felt was awe-inspiring, and his body shriveled and promised loudly: "Young Master, don't worry. If a word of this is leaked out, I will immediately kill Old Ma and let you see his head. Then commit suicide for forgiveness."

.....

Sending Wu Tiehu away, he went indoors again.

Wu Ming's face was calm, he lit a fire folder and burned the paper. Recalling the information, he sighed faintly: "Prefecture Gentry... Wang family?"

Only this piece of information is the only one who had been given by Yu Cheng to exchange for the fate of his family.

Unfortunately for Wu Ming, it is not good news.

The man behind the Zhou family in the county is surprisingly the Wang family of Clear Phoenix Prefecture who has lived in the city forever!

Wu Ming rubbed his eyebrows, and a little information emerged.

The Wang family has lived in the Clear Phoenix Prefecture's capital city for a hundred years. Nowadays, there are thousands of clansmen, capable of covering 200 hectares. Servants entering armies, maidservants like cloud, and their power are rooted all over the eight counties. It is a true hope of a county, a giant clan!

Of course, the most important thing is the Patriarch of the family a hundred years ago was Prefecture Governor Wang Zhong!

When the gorge dam was built, and a monument was erected to suppress the White Jiao and turn the Raging Dragon River profitable. The county residents were grateful and erected a life shrine which made him reborn after death. It was rumored that Wang Zhong came back from the netherworld to become the City God!

"Wang Zhong, City God, White Jiao, the second day of February, the Rise of Dragons... Dragon's Gate Meet! They're all connected!"

Wu Ming gritted his teeth and sneered.

The strength of the Prefecture Gentry is at least five times that of the Zhou family and its influence is even more significant. 

Not to mention, there is also a sinister City God silently presiding over, gaining good luck!

There is no doubt that this is a formidable opponent!

Bang!

There was a flash of thunder in the space.

Wu Ming was startled and immediately opened his Spiritual Eye and was again, shocked.

He saw that after he got the information of this black hand behind-the-scene, it was not far away from his destiny. He pushed aside the mist and here it was, a thick layer of Black Qi!

The Black Qi rose up and even formed black clouds with a feeling of destruction and withering.

"The black cloud is overwhelming the city to destroy it!"

In Wu Ming's mind, Mo Ran came up with this sentence. 

Time moves all the same with the same force, heroes are not free from fate. The way of luck lies in making people fascinated by all the colors, making them even more confused, unable to see the truth.

In particular, a doctor does not heal himself, and the lawyer does not need himself.

Before glimpsing through this layer, you wouldn't see the tribulation aura. You'll have to wait until it breaks out and is irreversible before you can understand it.

"No wonder that this Qi Observation Technique is a chicken rib!"

Wu Ming smiled bitterly, he knew that with his own luck, to overcome this dark tribulation was extremely unlikely.

Not to mention himself, even Wu Qing would be in trouble.

With her noble fate, she may be able to protect herself but I am afraid that most of her luck would be cut off. It is really hard what the future reserves. 

"The Heavens is healthy, a gentleman always strive for improvement!"

Wu Ming groaned and remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, he chanted a long sentence.

"There is a thread between Heaven and Earth, even if the world goes into tribulation, there is still a ray of hope! And... is the Prefecture Gentry that amazing? Since it starts with my family, it should stay incredible!"

Immediately, a ruthless look appeared on his face:

"When I go to the county seat and look at luck here. As long as there are flaws, I can always break them!"

However, at this moment, a message suddenly emerged:

[Ding! Dear, Reincarnator Serial Number GS-69, Overgod Apostle! Your Mission will start in three days, please be prepared!]

[This Mission is a Medium Mission! Scene size: Medium!]

[Mission Difficulty: Flood!]

[Main Quest Description:...]

Wu Ming was startled, and immediately laughed, "Good job!"

[1]: The Son of Heaven is another name for the Emperor.
