Gate of God Chapter 358: Reincarnation of God

Chapter 358: Reincarnation of God
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
As time passed, dozens of huge gaping holes were almost completely linked together, forming a gigantic snakehole-like thing.
However, Fang Zhengzhi knew that the real name of this thing, was the large-scale wind turbine!
"Guard Fang, everything has been completely dug as per your request." Teng Shisheng personally monitored everything by the side. After seeing that everything illustrated had been completed, he walked to Fang Zhengzhi's side.
"Alright, thank you for the trouble!" Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat excited. He knew that now was the crucial moment to begin to test if knowledge was able to change one's destiny.
He picked up the various stones that he had already prepared beforehand, then, with a gentle leap, he leapt towards the entrance of a hole in the stone wall.
After which, Fang Zhengzhi dived in...
This action undoubtedly caused Teng Shisheng to receive another shock. Is this hide and seek?
Not too far away, the forty-over thousand soldiers and the group of scholars who had already waited for a very long time looked at Fang Zhengzhi jump into the hole. They couldn't help but to stare with their eyes widened.
"Don't tell me he really intends to dig a tunnel?"
"What is this guy really trying to do? Don't tell me he really thinks that knocking around at the entrance of the wind valley would break its defence?"
"He hadn't even walked into the wind valley, yet he wishes to defeat it? Do you think it is possible?"
"Sigh, the name of the Great Xia has been completely tunnished by this guy this time…"
The scholars felt the howling wind which was just as strong as before coming from the wind valley and looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who had already entered the hole, and shook their heads in despise.
As for Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu.
At this moment, they didn't speak again. Because, they felt that with their status, judging Fang Zhengzhi's idiotic actions was really beneath them.
Yet, right at this moment, things changed completely.
A faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the mountain wall at the exit of the wind valley. Immediately after, the buzzing sound grew louder and louder, as if the entire mountain wall was about to topple.
"Oh no, the mountain wall is going to fall from the digging!"
"What are you worried for? Anyway, you are so far away from it, you wouldn't be the one crushed to death!"
"Oh, that makes sense!"
Just as a few scholars began to chatter among themselves, a powerful gust of wind suddenly blew past. That was a wind that was even faster and stronger compared to that within the wind valley.
At the same time, a figure shot out from a hole in the mountain wall, carrying a bright, radiant smile on his face.
"This guy still dares to smile?!"
"The mountain is going to topple, yet he managed to survive, why shouldn't he be smiling?."
"That's true… huh? Something seems wrong!"
Just as a few scholars prepared to continue their discussion, they suddenly felt somewhat strange.
That was a unclear and unidentified feeling of strangeness, as if it was echoing around their minds, yet they weren't able to grasp the crux of the feeling. It was a very weird feeling, yet, it was there.
"Do you guys feel a little weird?"
"A little, why do I feel… that a certain sound seems to be missing around us!"
"Sound?! The sound of the wind in the wind valley seems to…"
"The sound of the wind is gone?!"
The scholars finally regained their senses. That strange feeling originated from the wind in the wind valley. The whistling sound that had been constantly ringing around their ears seemed to have suddenly disappeared at this moment.
How can the wind not make any sound?
Don't tell me…
The wind in the wind valley, stopped?
One by one, the scholars looked towards the wind valley. In an instant, their eyes turned round and their faces were filled with shock. That was a feeling of shock that came from the bottom of their hearts.
The forty-over thousand soldiers also focused their gaze intently at the exit of the wind valley.
That was a buzzing sound coming from it. However, other than the buzzing sound, there wasn't the slightest bit of the whistling of the wind. The powerful wind that blew from within the wind valley had also vanished.
Their hair no longer billowed. Their bodies stood up even straighter.
The wind in the wind valley…
Had really stopped!
"This is impossible!" Chen Feiyu could believe many things. For example, he had tried to believe that Fang Zhengzhi's ambush on him was already planned out beforehand. He could believe that given another of such an opportunity.
He would still be captured by Fang Zhengzhi.
However, he couldn't believe that the wind in the wind valley could be stopped.
This completely went against everything he knew. It was something that couldn't be explained at all.
That was the wind!
The shapeless, formless wind!
Wu Feng also had the word "wind" in his name. [1] Because, he believed that the wind could never be blocked. He believed that the wind was unyielding and resolute. However, today…
He encountered a mysterious incident that he was completely unable to explain.
The wind in the wind valley had stopped.
What the hell, how is it possible that the wind could be stopped?!
"What did this guy do? What did he do!" Wu Feng really wished he could deny this. However, the wind in the wind valley had indeed stopped.
With his abilities, he could feel it clearly.
This was the reality!
A reality that was as solid as metal. There was no way of arguing against it. Then, the only thing he wanted to know was, is Fang Zhengzhi a monster! What arcane methods did Fang Zhengzhi use!
Teng Shisheng grew up in the Southern Mountain Range ever since he was born. He believed that God existed in this world. In reality, the Southern Mountain Range worshipped God.
Hence, there were many ritual ceremonies in the Southern Mountain Range.
The shape of the wind valley was formed by nature. Explaining it in terms of science, that was a natural phenomenon formed by the difference in pressure.
However, if one were to explain it in terms of the Southern Mountain Range's beliefs.
The wind was God's miracle!
A miracle formed by God to protect the Icy Monkey Settlement, to protect the Southern Mountain Range.
This miracle of God had lasted in the Southern Mountain Range for hundreds, or even thousands of years. There had never been a single person who could destroy this miracle without been harmed. It could even be said that nobody had even entertained the thought of doing such a thing.
Yet, this miracle of God was destroyed by Fang Zhengzhi?!
Furthermore, he had destroyed it so completely, so easily, and so unbelievably. Even though he had experienced everything personally, he still couldn't understand.
How did the wind in the wind valley stop?
"Alright, now that the wind valley had been defeated, we can safely lead the army into the Icy Monkey Settlement." Fang Zhengzhi dusted the dirt from his body and felt the weak and powerless wind around him with an extremely leisurely look on his face.
Such a thing only required using one's knowledge of science to alter a natural phenomenon. In Fang Zhengzhi's heart, it wasn't very difficult to achieve this.
The only fortunate thing was that his knowledge was very complete. He was actually able to achieve it in the first try.
Yet, despite having done so, he didn't feel as if it was a great feat.
However, this wasn't how Teng Shisheng felt.
He was completely stunned as he stood rooted to the ground, listening to the buzzing sound entering his ear and the gentle, cooling wind within the wind valley.
Not a single source of sound other than these were able to enter his ears.
"Shisheng?" Fang Zhengzhi gazed at Teng Shisheng's dazed expression and waved his hand in front of Teng Shisheng's eyes. Yet, there was still no reaction from him.
"Teng Shisheng!"
This time, Fang Zhengzhi didn't try to be polite anymore. He directly shouted out right beside Teng Shisheng's ear.
"Ah? Ah!!"
Teng Shisheng finally came to his senses. His entire face was completely filled with shock. After making out Fang Zhengzhi's face in front of him, his dark face flushed red.
"Fang Zhengzhi, this… this wind valley was really broken… by you?" Teng Shisheng was still completely in disbelief.
"Yep." Fang Zhengzhi replied dully.
"Could it be that the huge stone at the other end of the wind valley was coincidentally shifted? Hence…" As Teng Shisheng reached the end of his sentence, he couldn't even believe what he said anymore.
The two armies were at war.
Yet, the people at the Icy Monkey Settlement took the initiative to disable the wind valley.
Did this possibility exist?
Only an idiot would do such a thing, right?
"What do you think?" A faint smile appeared on Fang Zhengzhi's lips as he asked back.
"Guard Fang, subordi… No, Guard Fang, are… are you the reincarnation of God?" After being asked a question in return by Fang Zhengzhi, he seemed to have suddenly woken up. For the first time, a look of horror appeared in his eyes as he gazed towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"I feel that this might not be completely impossible." Fang Zhengzhi nodded calmly.
In a certain way, he had indeed arrived from another world. However, whether that was the reincarnation of God was something he truly didn't know.
"Then… then Go… Guard Fang, what are the arrangements now?" After listening to Fang Zhengzhi's ambiguous reply, he suddenly didn't know how to address Fang Zhengzhi anymore.
"Enter the wind valley, then, attack the Icy Monkey Settlement of course." Fang Zhengzhi didn't feel that this question required another reply. However, since Teng Shisheng had asked, he had to show a little bit of patience.
"Attack the Icy Monkey Settlement? Oh, yes yes yes, attack the Icy Monkey Settlement!" Teng Shisheng finally regained his senses.
"Line up the whole army!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't waste any more time.
"Roger!"
…
When Fang Zhengzhi arrived in front of the forty-over thousand troops again along with Teng Shisheng and the twenty Silver Horned Wolves, the expressions of the forty-over thousand soldiers and the group of scholars were clearly somewhat exaggerated.
If it was said that their hearts were filled with spite and disbelief when they heard that Fang Zhengzhi was about to defeat the wind valley with twenty Silver Horned Wolves, what they felt now was shock, an unparalleled sense of shock.
"Enter the Icy Monkey Settlement!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother explaining to these scholars who didn't have strong fundamentals, and directly gave out the order to the troops.
"Roger!" At this moment, the forty-over thousand troops acknowledged in unison.
Fang Zhengzhi had never gained popularity and trust in the military department. It could even be said that after the incident in which he he murdered military personnel in the Northern Mountain Village, as well as being influenced by opinions of Duan Tianrong and a few of the officials, from certain points of view, not only did Fang Zhengzhi not gained their popular trust, his reputation wasn't too good either.
But today...
Fang Zhengzhi used an incident no ordinary person would ever dream of to demonstrate his military ability.
The wind valley of the Southern Mountain Range, which nobody had been able to defeat in hundreds and even thousands of years, had been defeated. Furthermore, not a single soldier had been sacrificed. It was defeated with just the help of twenty Silver Horned Wolves!
How shocking was that.
How powerful was the boosting effect of this on the soldiers' morale.
The duty of a soldier was to follow orders, to fight wars. However, any soldier would wish that they were able to follow an intelligence general to fight winning battles.
In reality, after hearing that Fang Zhengzhi gave the order to attack the Icy Monkey Settlement and deciding to attack Nangong Hao, almost nobody believed that there was any possibility of winning.
Just like they felt that Fang Zhengzhi didn't have the slightest chance of defeating the wind valley.
Yet, Fang Zhengzhi did it.
After recalling the miracles that Fang Zhengzhi had created on the way from the county examination to the capital examination, then to the Imperial examination and then the Court examination, their views towards this somewhat "mischievous" general in front of them completely changed.
To have the opportunity to follow a general who could make miracles, this undoubtedly gave the soldiers the most powerful form of confidence. An army that was confident, the number of degrees in which their morale rose was conceivable.
Of course, Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu were able to sense the change in the soldiers' attitudes.
They initially felt that this attitude was something that should be changed by themselves. However, in reality, in front of Fang Zhengzhi, they didn't even have the slightest bit of opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
Alright…
To put it in a frank manner, Fang Zhengzhi didn't even give them the opportunity to give any form of suggestions!
Grief, they were extremely grieved.
The great man ranked third in the Rising Dragon Roll, and another pride of Heaven would had just entered the Supernatural state. Just as they were prepared to realize their ambitions and demonstrate what they were capable of.
They just had to encounter a Fang Zhengzhi.
"I really wish to see if the wind valley had truly been broken!" Chen Feiyu finally couldn't hold back anymore. He was captured by Fang Zhengzhi, however, this didn't mean that he accepted his defeat.
He wanted to see personally if the wind in the wind valley had truly stopped!
"Young Master Chen, I will accompany you!" When Wu Feng saw Chen Feiyu dash towards the wind valley, he similarly lashed his whip at his horse and followed.
"I wish to see too!"
"Yes, let's all go check it out!"
When the scholars heard this, they all urged their horses and charged towards the direction of the wind valley.
When Teng Shisheng saw this, he frowned. The actions of these scholars undoubtedly disregarded military discipline. Because, once their rash acts alerted the enemy, it might cause the entire plan to fail because of this one act.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi didn't seem to mind at all.
Instead, he waved towards Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng with a faint smile on his face. "Young Master Chen, Young Master Wu, and the rest of my brothers, remember to return as soon as possible!"
"Hmph!" The scholar who was the slowest immediately turned back his head and huffed coldly. He wasn't touched at all by Fang Zhengzhi's "well intentions".
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi raised his hand. Then, he slowly waved it forward. When the forty-over thousand troops saw Fang Zhengzhi's signal, they finally moved.
However…
Their movements were extremely slow.
The reason was very simple. The chief commander Fang Zhengzhi, who was right at the front, was moving too slowly. Hence, as soldiers following behind, how could they move quickly?
Teng Shisheng looked towards Fang Zhengzhi with some doubt in his eyes. He felt that since the wind valley had been defeated, it was important to start an unexpected assault immediately.
However, from Fang Zhengzhi's currently expression, it seemed that he wasn't worried at all.
Instead, he casually sat on the back of his horse, leisurely leaning to one side with a delighted look on his face. As he controlled his horse to take small steps forward, he even recited loudly some strange poem which nobody knew.
"Oh great sea, oh great sea, you really contain many droplets of water. Oh great stallion, oh great stallion, other than running fast, you indeed still have four legs…"
