Chapter 27: Zhou Zhou, you were too rampant.
Wen XiaoYun silently examined the 'statue'.
In the last two months, this 'statue' has been here this entire
time. In the past, he has seen Zhou Zhou put it into his
interdimensional button. Later on, Wen XiaoYun noticed that even
after putting this 'statue' away during the day, Zhou Zhou would
take it out again and hug it while sleeping.
Wen XiaoYun actually knew all along that this behavior was rather
abnormal.
Who would hug their deceased father to sleep every single day?
However, every time Wen XiaoYun became even the slightest
suspicious, he also felt that Zhou Zhou was still young. It's hard
to avoid scarring one's heart after losing a loved one at such a
young age.
Zhou Zhou wasn't very old. To treat this as a mentally grounding
item was very understandable.
When Wen XiaoYun lost his own father in his youth, he also had
frequent depressions. Didn't he also run off frequently to the
plaza and knelt in front of his father's statue to complain about
his grievances?
Seeing Wen XiaoYun heavy in thought and silent, Zhou HongYi
realized what strange words he said and became even more
frustrated.
"Admiral, I...… I don't know what the heck I was saying!
Perhaps I didn't sleep very well last night and my mind is a mess
right now. Just blame it on this head of mine!" Zhou HongYi
smacked himself on the head and cursed: "How could I regard
Madam's father as the God of Wealth...…"
Wen XiaoYun gave him a glance and said calmly: "You can leave.
Let this rot in your stomach, understand?"
Zhou HongYi only thought that the Admiral didn't want Zhuang
Zhou to know they were talking about his father and hastily
promised: "This subordinate understands!"
Zhou HongYi swiftly put away the incense burner and other such
worship items and left in a hurry.
"Wait a second."
Wen XiaoYun suddenly stopped him, tone unperturbed: "Who
else worships that God of Wealth every day?"
Zhou HongYi cautiously gave Wen XiaoYun a glance. Seeing that
his Admiral didn't seem to be investigating who's behaving
superstitiously, he finally said in a small voice: "On the
battleship...… there seems to be very few people who don't
worship? Oh. The great master Ge LuEn and the people he
brought over don’t seem to. Dr.White also doesn't."
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged with an 'en', and waved his hand to
let Zhou HongYi leave.
After Zhou HongYi left, Wen XiaoYun examined the 'statue' by
himself.
The 'statue' looked 80% similar to Zhuang Zhou. The big
difference was that the 'statue' 's hair was very long, hanging all
the way to his waist. The statue wore a strange hat on his head.
The apparel he was wearing also seemed different from their
clothes, with long sleeves and a wide neck.
At first glance, it looked like dresses that women like to wear.
After a careful look, it also seemed rather elegant in style.
However, this was definitely a handsome looking man, no doubt.
After Wen XiaoYun examined the statue closely he pressed down
on his comm: "Zhang Feng, come find me."
Zhang Feng just happened to return from changing shifts. After
receiving the message, he immediately went to find Wen
XiaoYun.
When he arrived at the room, he stood outside, not daring to
enter. Wen XiaoYun had him walk inside.
Zhang Feng didn't quite understand: "Admiral, did something
happen?"
Wen XiaoYun made Zhang Feng look at the Divine Image: "Look
at the statue."
Zhang Feng focused and looked over. He was stunned briefly. A
sense of reverence surged out from the bottom of his heart. His
breathing quickened as he gained a sudden urge, like he wanted
to kneel down and bow to the ground.
Wen XiaoYun asked: "How do you feel?"
Zhang Feng suppressed the urge in his heart, tense all over:
"Admiral, I want...… to submit."
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged with an 'en': "You can head back."
Zhang Feng left the room in complete confusion, not
understanding why the Admiral called him over.
However, after he walked out of the room, that urge just now, to
kneel down and kowtow, disappeared.
Zhang Feng shook his head in bewilderment. What kind of
response was this? Why would he have that kind of impulse when
he saw the statue of Madam’s father?
Was the Madam’s father… a very strong individual in the past?
There has been existing research, which proves that after people
with SSS level or above psychic level die, they leave behind a
mental pressure which continues to make people feel the urge to
submit.
However, the proof of this research came from some other galaxy
system. Currently, the Empire only has one person with SSS level
psychic powers, and that was their Admiral Wen XiaoYun. He was
still alive and well. It’s not like the Empire would do something to
the Admiral just to research if any mental pressure was left
behind?
In other words, was the Madam’s father an SSS level individual
from some other galaxy system?
Zhang Feng instantly felt a deep veneration. No wonder Madam
was able to create such impressive robots. Because his entire
bloodline was outstanding!
Inside the room, Wen XiaoYun sent a message to great master
Ge LuEn, asking him to come over for a bit.
Great master Ge LuEn thought that Zhuang Zhou was looking for
him. Therefore, he came very quickly. However, when he arrived,
he only saw Wen XiaoYun.
Ge LuEn looked left and right, but didn’t see Zhuang Zhou.
Immediately, he said with extreme disdain: “What do you want
from me? Don’t you know I’m very busy?”
Wen XiaoYun didn’t say anything. He only carried the Divine
Image over and placed it in front of Ge LuEn.
Ge LuEn gave the statue a look and furrowed his brows: “How
can you be so impolite and randomly move other people’s things.
This is the little friend’s father. You’re really lacking in etiquette!”
Wen XiaoYun examined Ge LuEn carefully. The latter didn’t seem
to have the same feeling as Zhang Feng and Zhou HongYi. The
other was just like himself, looking like there was no response at
all.
Wen XiaoYun put the Divine Image back: “It’s nothing. You can
go do your work.”
Ge LuEn was so angry his beard puffed up: “What’s your
problem? Calling me here and then saying it’s nothing? Do you
know how busy I am fixing Wo Si? Do you know how badly you’ve
destroyed Wo Si? The mecha that I painstakingly made, my Wo
Si, you just……”
Wen XiaoYun calmly sent him out the door: “Thank you for your
hard work, great master. Goodbye.” Then he closed the door.
Ge LuEn: “......”
Oh fck you asshole!
Wen XiaoYun stared at the statue, hesitating for a moment. In
the end, he called another member of the Legion over.
This was the person who had found his long lost little brother
after worshipping the God of Wealth.
As soon as he saw the statue, his response was like Zhang Feng
and Zhou HongYi.
Wen XiaoYun reached a conclusion--
Anyone who worshipped that God of Wealth, when seeing Zhou
Zhou’s statue, all gained a sense of reverence and wanted to
worship the ‘statue.’
He and Ge LuEn, who never had any Faith, had no response at
all.
Wen XiaoYun’s Mental World started to hurt in waves again. He
felt like his recently destroyed worldviews were starting to break
down even more.
“I’m back!” A spry and lively voice traveled over. Zhuang Zhou
entered the room with a smile. Seeing Wen XiaoYun, he even
asked extremely happily: “You’re off work early today?
Wen XiaoYun opened his eyes and looked towards Zhuang Zhou.
Seeing Wen XiaoYun’s furrowed brows, Zhuang Zhou froze for a
second: “Are you in pain?”
Wen XiaoYun remained silent briefly and then said ‘en’: “My head
hurts.”
Zhuang Zhou immediately became worried: “How come your
head hurts again? Did you not sleep well again?”
But he saw that Wen XiaoYun slept pretty well last night.
Wen XiaoYun didn’t say anything.
Zhou Zhou didn’t know that his psychic powers were
contaminated by energy radiation. He had used the excuse of
insomnia and headaches before because he wanted to sleep
together with Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou has never suspected
anything.
Seeing Wen XiaoYun remain silent, Zhuang Zhou thought it was
because he was in a lot of pain and jogged over: “Let me see.”
He placed his hand on Wen XiaoYun’s head.
Wen XiaoYun’s body temperature was very high, which made
Zhuang Zhou’s hand seem cold.
Zhuang Zhou touched his forehead, and then touched his neck,
mumbling: “No fever.”
His hand was much smaller than Wen XiaoYun’s. However, when
he touched Wen XiaoYun’s neck, Wen XiaoYun’s breathing
increased faintly.
Zhuang Zhou’s hand was grabbed instantly.
Zhuang Zhou lowered his head and crossed gazes with a pair of
pitch-black, deep eyes.
The color of Wen XiaoYun’s eyes was very deep, hiding an
incomprehensible emotion in its depth. It was almost like a
whirlpool that made Zhuang Zhou’s heartbeat quicken slightly.
He asked a bit nervously: “What’s the matter?”
Wen XiaoYun shook his head: “It’s nothing.”
Zhuang Zhou said in a small voice: “Then you should let me go.
I’m checking your condition.”
Wen XiaoYun said quietly: “I’m much better.”
Zhuang Zhou glared: “Much better so quickly?
He was still saying he felt bad a minute ago!
Wen XiaoYun said softly: “En. Holding your hand, I feel much
better.”
Zhuang Zhou: “...... Oh.”
Then, then just let him hold it then……
Zhuang Zhou ignored the burning of his face and very
resourcefully used his other hand to continue his examination.
After holding Zhuang Zhou’s hand, Wen XiaoYun really did feel
much better. His head didn’t hurt as much any more.
Everytime Zhou Zhou was closeby, he always felt much
alleviation.
He was about to tell Zhou Zhou not to worry when a force
suddenly entered his body.
Freezing abruptly, Wen XiaoYun looked towards Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou shifted his gaze away, refusing to look directly at
him. His face was a little red, like he knew Wen XiaoYun could
feel this force. He looked slightly guilty.
Zhuang Zhou was feeling slightly guilty. He actually didn’t really
want to use his Divine Powers, but he was also worried about
Wen XiaoYun’s condition.
Wen XiaoYun already knew a lot about him, yet he didn’t tell
anyone else. Therefore…… there shouldn’t be any problems with
this right?
However, he only felt guilty for a second before his eyes widened
in shock. He gave up trying to hide because he discovered that
Wen XiaoYun’s mental world was really very messed up!
Intergalactic people usually checked their psychic powers and
physical strength at a young age. When Zhuang Zhou searched
around online previously, he clearly saw Wen XiaoYun having
very impressive psychic powers. He was the only one in the
Empire with SSS level psychic powers.
However, right now, Zhuang Zhou discovered that inside Wen
XiaoYun’s mental world, there was force all over that made him
feel very uncomfortable. Inside Wen XiaoYun’s mental world, this
force was colored black, like an ink smear spreading in the water.
Was this the force that gave Wen XiaoYun headaches frequently?
Zhuang Zhou said hastily: “Wen XiaoYun, I discovered a problem
with your head!”
Wen XiaoYun: “......”
Wen XiaoYun: “It’s my mental world, not my head.”
Zhuang Zhou said gravely: “I’m not joking here.”
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged with an ‘en’, saying: “It’s
contamination from energy radiation.”
“Contamination from energy radiation?” If it was contamination,
then can he use his divine powers to purify it?
Thinking this, he did it. He attempted to use his Divine powers to
purify the black colored contamination closest to him.
As his Divine powers engulfed the contamination little by little,
the original black color disappeared, recovering the appearance of
Wen XiaoYun’s original mental world.
Zhuang Zhou’s eyes lit up. He can really do it!
However, he didn’t have a lot of Divine Powers right now. He was
only a little intern God of Wealth after all. Just purifying that little
bit already consumed a lot of his Divine powers.
Yet inside Wen XiaoYun’s mental world, there was so so much
contamination!
Looks like he had to purify a little for Wen XiaoYun everyday.
“Zhou Zhou, what are you doing?” Wen XiaoYun said suddenly,
his voice very hoarse, carrying a rare tone of astonishment.
As the person involved, he was more aware of his situation than
anyone else.
Ever since his psychic powers became contaminated, his psychic
powers have been declining every day.
But just now, he discovered that his psychic powers suddenly
stopped declining.
Like hanging on the edge of a cliff, capable of falling anytime, yet
stopping there dangerously.
Zhuang Zhou looked at him, wanting to say something, but afraid
of exposing his identity. Therefore, he pressed his lips together,
not saying anything.
Wen XiaoYun conveniently pulled Zhuang Zhou into an embrace
and said in a very soft voice: “Are you healing me?”
Zhuang Zhou pretended to be dumb: “What are you saying……”
Usually when Wen XiaoYun saw him not wanting to talk about
stuff, and heard him saying something like this, Wen XiaoYun
would immediately change the topic.
Unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, Wen XiaoYun didn’t
change the topic tonight. Instead, he continued to say: “Zhou
Zhou, today Zhou HongYi came into our room.”
Zhuang Zhou wanted to say something. However, Wen XiaoYun
covered his mouth and continued to say: “He saw this ‘statue’--”
Wen XiaoYun’s gaze landed on the Divine Image.
Zhuang Zhou thought of some unknown thing. He instantly had a
bad feeling inside.
Sure enough, the next second, Wen XiaoYun said: “Zhou HongYi
treated it as the God of Wealth and worshipped it.”
Zhuang Zhou: “.......”
Like a startled little animal, Zhuang Zhou almost jumped out of
Wen XiaoYun’s arms!
How can he forget such an important thing!
This Divine Image was given to him by the High God. Every
intern had this kind of Divine Image. To call it a Divine Image, it’s
actually equivalent to their True Body.
On earth, a lot of believers would create gold statues for their
God. These kinds of gold statues were equivalent to one of their
separate effigies. He can figure out his believers’ wishes and
desires through these gold effigies.
When a God gained more and more gold effigies, naturally it
indicated that he was gaining more believers. His Divine powers
would also become stronger.
However, these gold effigies weren’t the same as the Divine
Image.
When he returns to the Divine Image, he can recover his divine
powers. He can’t do it in the gold effigies.
Because this Divine Image was the True Body that the High God
bestowed him, it was like their identification card in the God
Realm.
Before when Zhou HongYi saw the Divine Image, he didn’t feel
anything. It’s because back then he didn’t believe in the God of
Wealth. Not to mention, when Zhuang Zhou had no followers, his
divine strength was very feeble. Naturally, he didn’t have the
imposing presence belonging to Gods.
However, it wasn’t the same now.
Most of the people on battleship Wyvern had become followers of
God of Wealth. As the number of believers increased and their
Faith became purer, Zhuang Zhou’s Divine powers would also
become stronger.
When a God obtained stronger powers, naturally, his body would
emit a stronger presence.
Especially when his believers see God's ‘True body,’ naturally,
they would feel a sense of reverence gushing out of the bottom of
their hearts. This kind of respect comes from their
subconsciousness, and also comes from God's imposing presence.
This was why, when Zhou HongYi and others saw the Divine
image before, they didn’t have any response.
However, after more than two months, when they saw the Divine
Image again, they felt an urge to kowtow and submit.
Because the Divine Image’s presence became stronger.
As followers, they would naturally feel the reverence in the depth
of their hearts.
Because of this, when Zhuang Zhou heard Wen XiaoYun’s words,
he instantly felt like he was struck by lightning. There was only
one sentence in his head--
‘He’s been exposed, exposed! Wen XiaoYun, Zhou HongYi and
everyone all discovered his identity!’
The little God of Wealth hugged his knees very despairingly,
extremely grievanced.
The little God of Wealth: “Are, are you aware of everything
now……”
Wen XiaoYun didn’t expect Zhou Zhou to respond so drastically.
Hearing Zhou Zhou saying this as well, he thought internally ‘So
it’s true.’
Wen XiaoYun: “Yes, I think I’ve guessed everything.”
The little God of Wealth stopped talking.
Wen XiaoYun: “Don’t worry, I won’t spread it.”
The little God of Wealth still remained silent.
He felt like he gained a humongous stain on his professional
career.
He has never heard of any Gods having their identities exposed.
He must be the first in history!
As someone who always had the best test results and someone
who was the youngest to obtain an internship opportunity, he felt
like this was extreme humiliation!
Seeing the little friend looking completely in despair, Wen
XiaoYun felt his heart soften: “If you don’t believe me, I can
make a vow in front of your dad.”
The little God of Wealth still didn’t want to speak.
Vow?
What’s the point of vowing?
And to make a vow in front of my dad, I don’t even have…… huh
huh huh??
Dad?!
Eyes snapping open, the little God of Wealth looked towards Wen
XiaoYun: “You, you said just now, that you guessed it……”
He looked at the Divine Image, and then looked at Wen XiaoYun.
Wen XiaoYun: “En, I guessed it. That God of Wealth is your
father, right?”
That’s why Zhou Zhou would believe so firmly that there was God
within this world.
That’s why Zhou Zhou would be so defensive of the God of
Wealth and dislike other Gods.
Ultimately, it was because-- the God of Wealth was his own
father.
Wen XiaoYun: “The God of Wealth is your father. So you……
you’re the son of God, right?”
Zhuang Zhou’s eyes lit up, immediately swiping away the
despairing look just now. He was so happy he was like jolly fatty.
Nodding his head repeatedly like a little chick pecking grains, he
said: “Yes yes yes! It’s exactly what you thought!”
Wen XiaoYun: “.......”
Zhuang Zhou’s eyes shone brightly as he praised nonstop: “Wen
XiaoYun, you’re really too impressive! You can even guess
something like this! And to guess it so accurately, you’re really
too smart! You must be a genius!”
Wen XiaoYun: “.......”
Zhuang Zhou energetically placed his Divine Image in front of
Wen XiaoYun: “That’s right. You guessed correctly. This Divine
Image is indeed the God of Wealth…… En…… It’s, it’s my dad! I’m
the son of God. Therefore, I also have a tiny bit of Divine Powers.
I’m also a bit impressive……”
Wen XiaoYun: “.......”
Zhuang Zhou said screwedly: “Didn’t you say just now that you’re
going to…… en, going to make a vow in front of my dad? Go
ahead and make your vow then. Vowing in front of a God is a
promise that can’t be broken. After making this vow, you won’t
be able to divulge this information!”
Saying this, Zhuang Zhou looked towards Wen XiaoYun with a
face full of anticipation, practically wishing that he could press
down on Wen XiaoYun’s head and make him kowtow in worship.
Wen XiaoYun silently looked at the little friend’s happy
expression, completely like another person from his utter despair
a moment ago.
Clearly, a moment ago, he was still looking terrified that Wen
XiaoYun had discovered his secret.
Ever since Wen XiaoYun said that the Divine Image was his
father, the little friend immediately became delighted and
energetic again.
Wen XiaoYun understood promptly.
He was wrong again.
Because he was wrong, the little friend no longer worried that his
identity was exposed and instantly became happy.
Wen XiaoYun rubbed his forehead, feeling quite amused and also
somewhat absurd.
Seeing Wen XiaoYun not moving, Zhuang Zhou couldn’t help but
urge: “How come you still haven’t vowed? You’re so impressive,
so smart, don’t tell me you’re reneging?”
Wen XiaoYun slowly opened his mouth: “Zhou Zhou.”
Zhuang Zhou’s eyes brightened: “Yea?”
Wen XiaoYun: “Right now, you’re so happy you’re practically
rolling around on the floor. You look a little smug.”
Zhuang Zhou ‘hehe’’d, but remained extremely reserved: “No
way……”
Wen XiaoYun pointed at the Divine Image: “En. Therefore he’s
not your dad.”
“????” Zhuang Zhou was instantly flabbergasted, a face of terror:
“Why, why are you suddenly……”
What’s going on with this guy?!
He clearly agreed to everything just now!
So why was he suddenly saying no again!
Wen XiaoYun: “Because right now, you look so scared you want
to dive into the ground.”
Zhuang Zhou: “......”
Wen XiaoYun said seriously and solemnly: “Zhou Zhou, you were
laughing too rampant just now.”
Zhuang Zhou: “..................”
The little God of Wealth shut down completely.
For the first time he felt, the words that Wen XiaoYun said didn’t
hurt a lot, but held a huge sense of humiliation!
Wen XiaoYun looked at the Divine Image, sinking into a
pondering state again.
Since this Divine Image wasn’t Zhou Zhou’s dad, then who was
it?
Was it Zhou Zhou’s big brother?
If it were Zhou Zhou’s big brother, it would be within the same
scope as Zhou Zhou’s dad.
Since Zhou Zhou was willing to recognize this Divine Image as his
father, there was no reason for him to not recognize this as his
big brother.
Big brother and dad had no difference. They were both blood
relatives.
Looks like he could directly eliminate big brother from his choices.
Then, a person who looked extremely similar to Zhou Zhou, but
wasn’t Zhou Zhou’s father, nor his big brother--
Who could it be?
Wen XiaoYun thought of something, his gaze landed on his closed
off little friend. An absurd thought rushed into his head.
Then, Zhou Zhou, is this you?
