Chapter 620: 579 Abyss III
’Forgotten Abyss??!’
Zhang Rongfang was slightly stunned.
He remembered this name.
He had heard before that gods cannot be killed, only forgotten. After killing all followers and destroying the idols in the temples, the gods fall into the Forgotten Abyss, never to rise again.
Unless someone remembers them again.
’It seems you have heard of this before, and yes, Taoyuan is closely linked to the Forgotten Abyss. To be precise, what you see as the bottomless abyss beneath Taoyuan is the Forgotten Abyss. As for above it... no one knows what it is.’ White Scale answered, his tone solemn and heavy.
’Then... what is the arc-shaped passage I saw? The platform where the Gate of the Void is located.’ Zhang Rongfang asked with a frown.
’That is the manifestation of the god’s true form. If a god is completely forgotten, this platform will fall, detaching from the mountain wall.’ White Scale replied.
’I killed the Mosang God in the Void, but his platform remains. Does that mean he will resurrect?’ Zhang Rongfang asked again.
’Yes, but you killed him in the Void, so even if he revives, it doesn’t matter much, because after revival, he’s no longer the same. You’ve essentially killed him completely.’
’What do you mean?’ Zhang Rongfang was puzzled.
’The power of gods originates from the Void. Without the Void, they have no source of power. If someone recalls them and worships them for a long time in the future, only then might their Void reappear. But at that point, it won’t be the same Mosang God. Still remember how I met you initially?’ White Scale replied. ’You wouldn’t think I was never killed in my previous battles, would you?’
’....’ Zhang Rongfang was silent. He seemed to have understood the logic.
’So, this is what it means to truly kill them. From now on, it will be a brand new Mosang God, no longer remembering nor bearing grievance against you. This is also one of Spirit Flying Heaven’s methods of seizing Celestial God and Earth Mother.’ White Scale answered.
’Do you remember what happened before you died?’ Zhang Rongfang countered.
’I don’t remember, it’s all known from my records. In fact, my position as Flesh God was bestowed by the God Master, and by standard, I belong to the fourth generation of White Scale.’ White Scale replied.
’So, the White Scale God has gone through three generations of succession?’ Zhang Rongfang realized.
’As long as you understand. Gods don’t die, the position remains, even if killed or destroyed, they will revive. But that refers to the core divine position.’ White Scale sighed.
Zhang Rongfang wanted to ask more, but in the distance, someone was approaching.
He immediately diverted his attention and looked over.
Soon, two scouts from the United Nations dressed in green military uniforms arrived at the scene, showing shock when they saw Zhang Rongfang in his blood robe.
The two promptly knelt.
’Sen Valley Army Alpha Squad Scouts, greet the Blood Immortal Ancestor!’
Their voices came one after another, respectful, with heads bowed not daring to look much.
Sen Valley Army?
Zhang Rongfang recognized them as one of the elite troops under King Mu Li’s command, in charge of encircling the Mosang Sect.
’Where’s your prince? Take me to him.’
’The prince has dispatched many scouts to search day and night around the area, he’s been waiting for a long time. Please, Ancestor, follow us.’ A soldier said solemnly.
Zhang Rongfang did not hesitate and quickly followed the two to leave the forest.
Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of the Mosang Sect’s headquarters.
It had long been razed to the ground, completely a wasteland.
Passing through a large patch of woodland, soon, he saw a large encampment by a small lake.
The largest and most luxurious tent seemed to be the commander’s main camp here.
The two scouts guided him along to the main tent.
With a flurry, the tent was just lifted open as a few hurried figures rushed out to look at Zhang Rongfang.
’Ancestor! The prince knew you would be alright!!’ King Mu Li was exceptionally excited upon seeing Zhang Rongfang.
His eyes were dark, and his face was gaunt, having lost some weight. Clearly, he hadn’t rested well these days.
’Hongxian! Greet the Temple Master!!’ Hongxian Daoist was also there, rushing out and bowing deeply. His emotions more agitated.
The last to come out was General Feng, a devotee himself, with his injuries almost healed, looking at Zhang Rongfang with complex and wary eyes, not daring to speak.
This one dared to rush into the Void and came out unscathed... General Feng, shocked, raised his hand to bow in greeting.
’Have you been waiting here all this time? How long?’ Zhang Rongfang asked in detail.
’It’s been a day and a night!’ Hongxian hurriedly replied.
’A day and a night, huh?’ Zhang Rongfang recalled the brief moment along with the Void, Chen Junchen, Emperor Kun, and other information, understanding that Taoyuan might harbor the true secret origin of gods.
Solving just one Mosang was already so tough, and there were many formidable gods yet to come.
These are terrifying existences far surpassing mortals. If he truly wants to be carefree, there’s a long road ahead.
Yet presently, before him, King Mu Li, as royalty, might provide more news intelligence channels. Successfully unifying the United Nations could also provide abundant cultivation resources.
’Ancestor, dare I ask about Mosang God now...’ King Mu Li inquired with eager anticipation.
’Mosang God will not appear anymore. From now on, destroy all Mosang Sect followers, destroy all Mosang God’s idols, paintings, materials. Prevent its resurgence. As for the rest, don’t bother.’ Zhang Rongfang ordered.
Though the trio of King Mu Li and Hongxian had somewhat anticipated this, hearing the words truly made them all show signs of shock.
The Blood Immortal Dao Ancestor had utterly vanquished the Mosang God!
Such a feat is normally only achieved by the greatest divine generals or top-tier grandmasters in the Extreme Realm.
But now... the Human Immortal Dao Ancestor did the same. This signifies that henceforth, Human Immortal Temple and Blood Immortal Dao will truly stand alongside the topmost elite of the Great Spirit.
To reach such heights with a human body!!
King Mu Li and Hongxian were thrilled with trembling.
Hongxian Daoist saw the strength potentially achievable in the future.
Whereas King Mu Li felt hope for the royals at last!
Always, royal bloodlines were embarrassed due to being unable to worship gods, only able to practice martial arts.
Although they had power over all those in Spirit Flying Church who worship gods due to certain reasons, it wasn’t their own strength ultimately.
Unable to worship the gods, and unwilling to become one of those lunatics in the Extreme Realm, he could only watch himself die naturally as if he were a mortal.
This kind of pain was something King Mu Li could hardly tolerate.
But now....
The Human Immortal Dao and Blood Immortal Dao have given them new hope!
"Xiaowang, willing to use the power of the whole nation to worship the Human Immortal Dao, asks the Ancestor to accept the disciple as an apprentice!" King Mu Li suddenly bowed deeply towards Zhang Rongfang.
"There is no need for that, with Hongxian here, I am very reassured. Everything in the future can be communicated through Hongxian," Zhang Rongfang said calmly. "Additionally, as part of the royal family, you should know quite a few secrets about gods and buddhas, right? You can organize them all for me. Consider it the reward for my intervention, how about that?"
"Following the Ancestor’s decree."
King Mu Li sincerely clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
The natural awe and closeness brought by the Bloodline, combined with the expectation of future longevity and the yearning for the Blood Immortal Dao, all these emotions fused together, giving him unprecedented new hope in his heart!
And from the bottom of his heart, he was determined to cling tightly to the leg of the Human Immortal Temple and never let go.
The more Zhang Rongfang acted indifferent to rewards, the more he felt that the other had an immortal demeanor and was truly a peerless expert! The more he wanted to offer benefits, so that the other would pay more attention to him.
Zhang Rongfang nodded with satisfaction and immediately followed King Mu Li’s invitation to return to the capital of the United Nations.
During his three-day stay in the United Nations, he inquired about all the secrets that King Mu Li knew, and then floated away.

Wushan Prefecture, Wish Girl Gorge.
On the Human Immortal Platform, Zhang Rongfang sat cross-legged, the blood-formed robe on his body constantly changing with dense, various patterns of text.
This was practice of blood control ability.
As a special talent for controlling blood, the amount he could control was entirely related to his proficiency.
’After solving the issue at the United Nations, what do you plan to do next?’ White Scale asked in his mind.
Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes and did not respond.
He simply sat quietly on the Human Immortal Platform, practicing blood control.
Now, he lacks nothing; the only thing missing is time.
As long as he has enough time, he can continue to approach the complete form of the Blood Race Ancestor. Until he finally achieves it.
So after clarifying his actual strength, he decided to go nowhere, just to hide and squat at home.
He will consider other matters only after he has achieved the complete form.
’What about your sister?’ White Scale continued to inquire. ’She seems to be doing something dangerous.’
’Already got someone to keep an eye on her.’ Zhang Rongfang replied indifferently.
On his sister’s side, she has now turned clean and joined with the Confucian Seven Meridians in the combined academy, becoming one of the most influential forces.
It can be said that under the Grand Teachings Alliance, Confucianism is the strongest. Safe and secure.
And Yue Shi’s side is even more rigidly aggressive, with the Great Dao Teaching in its heyday, he doesn’t need to worry at all.
Suddenly a red shadow flew swiftly from afar, gently slowed down, and landed on Zhang Rongfang’s shoulder.
It’s Xiaohong.
It lowered its head, using its mouth to untie the bamboo tube tied to its foot, handing it to Zhang Rongfang.
"Thanks." Zhang Rongfang stroked a tuft of red hair on its forehead, took the bamboo tube, opened it, and took out the letter paper.
The letter paper was densely filled with a summary of recent intelligence on related forces.
Confucianism, the Grand Teachings Alliance, Zhang Qingzhi, his sister, and the Righteous Alliance Reversal Association, among others.
These were the only points he was concerned about.
After confirming that there were no issues, Zhang Rongfang crumpled the paper and let it scatter with the wind in the valley.
"Everything is safe and sound, I can also retreat in peace now," he said with a relaxed smile.
’You’re going into seclusion?’ White Scale asked in amazement.
’With the world gradually returning to peace, and the people I care about are all safe, what else do I have to worry about? Next, I just have to keep cultivating and improving myself, enjoying life,’ Zhang Rongfang replied.
It has to be said that having a master more powerful than oneself, providing cover from above, is indeed delightful.
No pressure, life is carefree, no one dares provoke.
Just think about it, like the Mosang God, those gods, Yue Shi alone can withstand a group. This shows Yue Shi’s fierceness.
With heartfelt emotion, Zhang Rongfang feels that what he has been pursuing all along is just this moment?
Next, he just has to explore the mysteries of gods and buddhas, step by step towards the complete form of the Blood Race Ancestor, and it’s done!
’Are you not planning to explore the void again?’ White Scale asked.
’Of course, that is also the main direction for our seclusion going forward.’ Zhang Rongfang answered.
He lifted his gaze to the distance, Wish Girl Gorge now had its mist gradually thinning.
At this moment, by the riverside in the distance, Ding Yu could be seen with more than a dozen wolfhounds, holding a whip, herding a large crowd of white and black big fat pigs.
Chang Yuqing was alone in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, playing the zither.
Sun Chaoyue was discussing some matters with Zhang Zhenhai.
In the Human Immortal Temple, shadows could be seen coming and going from time to time, everyone wearing red robes, a scene of a celestial abode.
Seeing this, a sense of urgency that had been in Zhang Rongfang’s heart all along gradually leveled out.
’After the Blood Lotus of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, the Five Qi Facing the Origin should also start to be perfected...’ he thought to himself, gazing at the distant scenery, gradually becoming somewhat entranced.
