Chapter 406: Cause and Effect 241

Fang Zhixing watched the little ax coldly, not responding.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but rather he dared not and could not.

After all, the little ax was too eerie, utterly inscrutable.

Fang Zhixing calmly looked at Wang Jiayun, who had transformed from female to male, and said seriously, "The people from the Sky Observation Department said I’ve become a contaminant because of you?"

The young man slowly sat down, and the little ax also sat down with a grin.

"You sit."

The little ax gestured for Fang Zhixing to sit down with a teasing tone, "You broke the ’Heavenly Locust’s’ scheme, a one in ten thousand chance; you deserve to sit on an equal footing with him."

"The Emperor?!"

Upon hearing this title, Fang Zhixing’s face involuntarily twitched.

But the young man quickly wrote his own name in the dirt, another character for "locust."

Fang Zhixing understood and sat opposite the two.

The three formed a triangle.

The Heavenly Locust slightly bowed his head and said indifferently, "Hero, the little ax said I’m using you, which is correct but not entirely accurate."

His expression slightly complex, he carefully explained, "The Heavenly People Tribulation is a major calamity. Before undergoing Tribulation, the Heavenly People must suppress the decay within their bodies, so I actually can’t do much."

He looked directly into Fang Zhixing’s eyes and said earnestly, "Since we met, everything that has happened has been of your own doing, not mine.

You eagerly desired to witness the birth of the Restricted Area, so it was born. Afterwards, when you dreamt, that was also your own doing, not me manipulating you."

Fang Zhixing listened and frowned deeply, unable to help glancing at the little ax.

"Why are you looking at me?"

The little ax gave Fang Zhixing a sidelong glance, with an innocent and martyr-like expression, "Heaven and earth are my witnesses, I have been absolutely honest and haven’t done anything."

Fang Zhixing was speechless, utterly perplexed, and said sincerely, "Please, Heavenly Locust, clarify this."

The little ax waved his hand and interrupted, "Let me explain. During the Heavenly People’s Tribulation, they have two characteristics.

The first is that their strength greatly diminishes, becoming very weak, which naturally makes their circumstances very dangerous—they must hide away to avoid being finished off by other Heavenly People."

The second, the power of the Heavenly People might become uncontrollable at any moment, affecting the humans around them, even being utilized by humans.

Well, you can understand it this way: as long as humans are close to Heavenly People, the intense desires and prayers in their hearts may come true."

You’re familiar with praying to gods, right? Heavenly People are similar to gods. If ordinary people come near Heavenly People, the wishes in their hearts might manifest in some way as reality."

Like with the people from the Blood Axe Gang, when they made a wish to me, it really did come true."

And like you, you greatly desired the birth of the Restricted Area. After you met me, you absorbed some of my power and using the power of Heavenly People, you really witnessed the birth of the Restricted Area."

Fang Zhixing blinked, utterly astonished.

He had always thought the little ax was the wish-granting machine.

Turns out, the real wish-granting machine was always the Heavenly Locust!

Moreover, making a wish wasn’t through words but even thinking about it in your mind counts as making a wish!

The Heavenly Locust sighed and added, "I impersonated Wang Jiayun and hid in Black Stone Town, where I incidentally met you.

I discovered that your heart’s desire was to witness the birth of the Restricted Area.

And during my Tribulation, it was bound to lead to the creation of the Restricted Area, so if we teamed up, joining forces, it could potentially be a win-win."

The little ax snorted derisively, "That’s such a righteous and dignified way to put it, hypocritical! You used him; that’s the fact. If he couldn’t break the scheme, he would undoubtedly have died, wouldn’t he?"

The Heavenly Locust smiled faintly, "I didn’t have that sort of ill intent."

The little ax hummed, then carefully explained to Fang Zhixing, "When Heavenly People undergo Tribulation, they need to expel the decaying essence from their bodies, but these essences don’t just dissipate; instead, they cling to the Heavenly People, like a plaguing shadow, impossible to get rid of.

At that time, there’s a relatively simple method, which is to find a suitable ’container’ to inject and seal the decaying essence into, and you were chosen as that container, commonly known as the sacrifice, the sacrificial offering!

Fang Zhixing swallowed hard.

The little ax continued, "A large amount of decaying essence was infused into your body, and while it is decaying essence, it is also the power of Heavenly People, genuine and valuable."

He chuckled, "You know, until you expel the decaying essence, you’re actually half a Heavenly Person, and what you think or wish for might actually come true."

At this point, he shook his head with a wry smile, "It’s just too bad, you’re a strong-willed guy and haven’t misused the power of Heavenly People, but you also have desires and are suspicious and fickle."

Ultimately, your use of the Heavenly People’s power became your dreams, wild and surreal, almost a dream come true!"

Fang Zhixing still listened somewhat puzzled, wondering, "So I spent ten years in a dream; was that also a wish from my heart?"

The little ax immediately said, "That’s not it; the power of Heavenly People is so formidable, once released, it could devastate everything, even twisting time and space."

Fang Zhixing frowned, "Then what about you, are you also a Heavenly Person?"

The little ax suddenly looked proud, laughing heartily, "Ah, you finally saw through me. In the dreams, I gave you so many clues, yet you stubbornly thought I was a big villain, overly cautious against me; you nearly had me laughing to death."

Fang Zhixing was skeptical, hesitating, "Why were you in Yulan County, and what about the Blood Axe Gang then?"

The little ax replied, "I was also about to undergo Tribulation and sealed myself in a coffin buried deep underground, but then the people from the Blood Axe Gang dug me out, ruining my plans."
