Chapter 170 Parallel World (1)

Winter left and spring arrived; a new year had come again.

The dinosaurs began to lay eggs, the birds chirped for mates, the trees sprouted new green buds, and the Beastman Continent was full of life.

Early in the morning, the people of the Beast G.o.d Temple got up, cleaned the temple, wiped the G.o.d statue, sang the songs of praise for the Beast G.o.d, and prepared for the coming Beast G.o.d Sacrifice

Everyone in the temple was busy, but they were also happy and cheerful. When they encountered others, they would always greet them with a bright smile on their faces.

No, that wasnt right. There was one person who wasnt busy, but he wasnt happy or cheerful either.

Over twenty years ago, the Beast G.o.d Temple had been expanded.

In those days, there had been a big mountain behind the Beast G.o.d Temple. Now, the mountain behind the temple no longer existed.

It had been razed to the ground, and many houses and a larger temple had been built in its place.

This temple was very s.p.a.cious and was surrounded by high walls. There were many people outside the walls, but almost n.o.body ever stepped inside.

The lower level priests and servants of the Beast G.o.d Temple didnt dare to approach the temple and didnt understand what was going on, but all the high level people of the Beast G.o.d Temple, who knew what was happening inside the temple, were all full of awe towards this place.

Inside this temple lived the Beast G.o.d, the great and unique Beast G.o.d!

There were very few people who knew about this, and they wouldnt tell others about it because the Beast G.o.d didnt like to see people and didnt want his existence to be known.

Generally, they would only tell others that this was the true temple that only the most devout people could enter.

Thus, as time went on, fewer and fewer people knew about the fact that the Beast G.o.d actually lived inside the temple.

To this day, there were only a few people who knew that the Beast G.o.ds name was Zhou Ji.

While everyone was looking forward to the Beast G.o.d Sacrifice, Zhou Ji was in the temple, bored out of his mind.

He had transmigrated into this world thirty years ago.

When hed first transmigrated over, this body of his had been twenty years old. Now, he was already fifty.

Hed been thirty-two years old when he transmigrated over. As of now, his psychological age was sixty-two.

He felt that hed already lived enough.

However, he also didnt want to die, so he lived idly on from one day to the nextperhaps hed be able to discover some other new food that could be eaten?

Zhou Ji yawned as he lay there on the bed, staring at the stone roof of his room.

When hed first arrived in this world and woken up in that Big Bear Tribe, hed been full of love for this world. Unfortunately, hed never been able to fully integrate into the world. Later, after experiencing many things, hed felt even more out of place in this world.

Up until now, he didnt even have someone he could really talk to, and he was too lazy to bother with talking to others.

He had once wanted to live a good life in this world.

When hed been in the Big Bear Tribe, he had at first been unaccustomed to everything, so the people around him had thought him a fool and ignored him, so he hadnt integrated into the tribe. But at the end of that year, when he wandered around the tribe and met Xiang Tian, who hed learned was his father, hed actually started to have some sense of belonging to this world.

Hed thought that he would have a home in this world.

He left the Elephant Tribe and began to roam the Beastman Continent.

He had his plant powers and had a strong sense for plants. After two years of wandering, hed eaten many plants with powerful energy and slowly became a high level Beast Warrior.

Because of his own illness, hed been uninterested in proving his strength. However, he also couldnt hunt and could only survive by eating all kinds of plants. Plants with energy tasted better than ordinary plants

Unconsciously, just like this, his strength increased.

And this was when Xiang Tian found him again.

Xiang Tian could no longer hold on and was about to die.

Xiang Tian pleaded with him again and again, crying bitterly. Later, when he realized that Zhou Ji was unwilling to help, he attacked and attempted to obtain his crystal coreXiang Tian believed that Zhou Ji was special only because Zhou Jis crystal core was special.

Xiang Tian had looked down on him and had ultimately died by his hand. Hed also absorbed Xiang Tians crystal core in the process, becoming a Beast King in one fell swoop. At the same time, hed fallen into a frenzy and killed a dinosaur whod wanted to come and try to take advantage of a Beast King

When he woke up, he discovered that there were people around him, and immediately absorbed the crystal core left by that Beast King level dinosaur.

At that time, hed wanted to recover his strength and escape. However, the energy in his body had been too abundant, and hed fainted. Ultimately, hed been caught by the people of the Beast G.o.d TempleXiang Tian had found him and attacked him not far from the Beast G.o.d Temple.

The people of the Beast G.o.d Temple kept him locked up in the cave behind the temple, which was also the place where he was staying now. Of course, he hadnt wanted to stay there all the time, so hed found a chance to escape.

Hed kicked up such a disturbance at that time that hed even destroyed the entire mountain.

Hed thought that he would become wanted by the Beast G.o.d Temple, but in fact, it turned out to be the complete opposite-the people of the Beast G.o.d Temple didnt give him a chance to go into a frenzy and had run away. Instead, when they saw that his animal form could s.h.i.+ft sizes from small to large, they all knelt down one after another and called out to address him as the Beast G.o.d.

Hed inexplicably become the Beast G.o.d just like that.

There were many advantages to being the Beast G.o.d.

When hed been wandering alone, he could eat as many plants as he wanted, but he couldnt hunt and therefore didnt have meat to eat.

However, it was different after hed become the Beast G.o.d!

Ever since hed become the Beast G.o.d, thered been people to provide him with a variety of meat every day.

Zhou Ji was very satisfied with the food in the Beast G.o.d Temple. He lived here year after year, and occasionally ventured out to see if he could find any new plants to eat.

It was just that He couldnt help but become increasingly bored.

After all, his life was the same day after day.

The sun rose slowly from the east. The door to the courtyard wall of the temple where he lived opened, and someone came in.

This person wasnt a stranger to Zhou Ji. She was the daughter of the current High Priest of the Beast G.o.d Temple, a fourteen year old girl named Li Xinher animal form was a beaver.

He was too impatient to deal with the adults who had complicated thoughts, and hed appointed this little girl to bring him food a few years ago.

This girl had a gentle nature, and she never talked much when she brought him food. If she could continue on like this, Zhou Ji planned to have her perform this job from now on.

After entering the yard, Li Xin placed the basket at the entrance to the yard, then quickly walked out.

Zhou Ji was very satisfied with her behavior. At the same time, he used his spiritual powers and made a long vine to stretch out to bring the basket over from the door.

There was some meat that had already been processed and cleaned inside the basket. Zhou Ji glanced at it, then went over to his yard.

Although it was early spring, the plants in this yard were lush and flouris.h.i.+ng. Some fruits that should only mature a few months later were already covering the branches.

Zhou Ji strolled around and picked some vegetables according to his own preferences.

In the largest south-facing room where he lived, there was a statue of the Beast G.o.d. The place where he usually slept was on the second floor above that room.

There were some smaller rooms to the left and right, and also at the back. Some were empty, but hed cleaned up some of the other rooms for his use. For example, the room to the left side of the temple was the kitchen.

There were several stoves in the kitchen, and each of them was equipped with a pottery pot.

Zhou Ji cleaned the pottery pot, added water to it, and began to cook.

Hed been cooking for nearly 30 years, and his skills were already well-developed. So even after he finished cooking, Zhou Ji felt that there wasnt any enjoyment to be had.

After eating, Zhou Ji went back to his room to lie down. He remained like this all the way until evening.

When night fell, someone else knocked on the door to his courtyard. The person whod come was the High Priest of the Beast G.o.d Temple.

Come in. Zhou Ji projected his voice.

The High Priest pushed open the door and walked in.

When he entered and saw the scene of the flouris.h.i.+ng plants in the yard, the High Priests eyes were full of reverence and fanaticism. He walked slowly through the yard and finally knelt in front of Zhou Ji, Your Majesty The Beast G.o.d, I have something to report.

What is it? Zhou Ji asked.

Your Majesty, two new Beast Kings have come to the Beast G.o.d Temple. The High Priest said.

Oh? Zhou Ji wasnt very interested, Who are they?

One of them is called s.h.i.+ Li, and the other is called Xiong Ye. They are the tribal chief of a tribe called the Big Bear Tribe and his mate. The High Priest said.

Zhou Ji was no stranger to these two names.

After all, when hed first arrived in this world, hed appeared in the Big Bear Tribe. If it hadnt been for Xiong Ye giving him a piece of meat, he might have starved to death

Zhou Ji said, I know these two people. Theyre here from the wild forest Take care of them a bit more.

The High Priest answered respectfully, Yes, Your Majesty.

The High Priest soon left, but Zhou Ji thought of some things from the past after hearing the names Xiong Ye and s.h.i.+ Li.

The Big Bear Tribe was a small tribe, but the atmosphere within the entire tribe was good. Although hed been driven out of the cave back then and the children of the tribe had stolen away many of the things his mother had left behind, he didnt have any ill feelings towards the tribe.

At least, at the time, when hed appeared to be incapable of doing anything, the tribe still hadnt driven him away.

As for the children whod stolen his hides and such Theyd been children merely a few years old who s.h.i.+vered with cold throughout the night. Taking his hides to wrap around their bodies and sleep he couldnt blame them.

They really had been very lovely cubs.

And hed left the Big Bear Tribe back then simply because life there had been inconvenient, and theyd been missing too many life essentials.

However, hed never expected that the Big Bear Tribe would be destroyed.

Hed gone back to the wild forest after becoming the Beast G.o.d only to learn that the Big Bear Tribe no longer existed. It had been destroyed by the Giant Tiger Tribe, and the Giant Tiger Tribe that had destroyed the Big Bear Tribe, also wasnt living welltheyd accidentally offended the Mountain Wolf Tribe that had a high level Beast Warrior, and then had subsequently been destroyed by the Mountain Wolf Tribe.

Zhou Ji had been very sad back then. After another two years pa.s.sed, hed inadvertently come across the Big Bear Tribe that had suffered many hards.h.i.+ps, and hed given them a hand.

He had a good impression of Xiong Ye, so he covered up his face, took him out in the middle of the night, and taught him a cultivation method.

Xiong Ye was very grateful to him. At the same time, he made a request, hoping that s.h.i.+ Li could also learn the cultivation method.

Hed agreed, but he didnt like that s.h.i.+ Li, so hed simply carved the cultivation method into a cave wall and told Xiong Ye to use that to teach him. Hed also told Xiong Ye not to tell others about this matter.

Xiong Ye had agreed to all of it.

After that, he no longer concerned himself with those two people. Unexpectedly, theyd both become Beast Kings.

At the end of the day, they were still people he knew from before, so Zhou Ji had spoken some words to have the Beast G.o.d Temple take care of themXiong Ye and s.h.i.+ Li had no backing, and he was worried that theyd be wronged.

And after Zhou Ji gave the order, he let go of the matter completely.

After the High Priest retreated respectfully, Zhou Ji got up and ate something before heading back to his bedroom to sleep.

His quality of sleep hadnt been very good ever since he arrived in this world.

The ten years of the apocalypse had had a great influence on him. In addition to his uncontrollable killing, he also had issues with his general mental state.

That evening, as usual, Zhou Ji began to dream.

However, the dream this time was a little different. In the dream, there was no flas.h.i.+ng sword lights, and there was no slaughter.

It was a very wonderful dream. As a spectator, he saw another version of himself and saw that that version of him had lived a different life.

And the cause of all this was that s.h.i.+ Li had suddenly changed and had no longer wanted to become mates with Xiong Ye.

In his memories, s.h.i.+ Li and Xiong Ye had always been a happy couple.

Xiong Ye was very good to s.h.i.+ Li. He was very attentive, and s.h.i.+ Li would also give Xiong Ye some pleasant surprises. Although in his opinion, Xiong Ye gave more in their relations.h.i.+p, two people who loved each other wouldnt squabble about such things.

However, in his dream, s.h.i.+ Li changed and became sleazy and annoying.

Then, during a series of unexpected events, Xiong Ye helped the Zhou Ji in his dreams. The Zhou Ji in his dreams also paid more attention to Xiong Ye.

Finally, when he was driven out of the cave, Xiong Ye invited him to live with him.

His life in the dream was much better than how hed lived!

He had a clean cave to live in and would prepare food for Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye would also catch fish for him to eat At that time, he hadnt had fish or meat to eat!

Zhou Ji was inexplicably envious of the version of himself in the dream.

Why hadnt he met a s.h.i.+ Li whod made a fool of himself back then?

No, this s.h.i.+ Li wasnt necessarily a fool Zhou Ji found that this person seemed to be looking down on the people of the Big Bear Tribe?
