Floating Cloud Continent, Mythical Beast Forest, Earthly Oak Tree.

The Sun is shining brightly. The clouds, floating aimlessly in the sky. Everything looked incomparably peaceful, as if the great battle moments ago did not happen at all.

However, if one were to look around the forest, clear traces of the battle earlier could be seen. Fields of grass are now burnt all over, the leftovers of trees struck by the lightning & the corpses of the two beast that are now beyond recognition, along with the dead body of the Vajra Thunder-Wolf.

In the midst of all of this, A bare naked Li Zun is standing there motionlessly whilst holding the heavily wounded little pup in his arms.

Right now, He didn't know how he exactly did it, but he felt that he could somehow heal the little pup with this weird energy of his inside him. Therefore, he tried inserting the weird energy of his inside the little pup, since it was very badly injured after all, if this weird energy of his could heal the little pup, why not ?

In fact, in just the time it takes for a kettle to boil, the little pup’s complexion has turned for the better, and it's wounds have all healed. It's just a matter of time before the little pup would wake up.

Li Zun did not really understand what is this energy he felt inside of him, but he felt that this energy couldn't possibly be normal. After all it could heal the little pup who was very injured right now, has been nursed back to health in just a short amount of time.

Having been thrown into the midst of nowhere, Li Zun was currently completely confused. He has a lot of questions popping up his head, such as ; Where in the world was he ? Those huge beast with the strength to crush a city, what are they ? Not to mention his body that is currently flowing with this ‘ mysterious ‘ energy. What the heck are those ?

But Li Zun knew, he couldn't lose his calm. Although awhile ago, he felt he was unable to move away from the entrapping of the lights, he could still clearly see the battle that happened just now.

What further confused him was, the fact that he could see all that was happening clearly, from start to end. Even the speed that the ferocious wolf from earlier on doesn't seemed too fast for him.

However, Li Zun had a slight idea to where he currently is, but he didn't dare to imagine it, because he could somehow feel that in his surroundings, he felt a faint energy flowing in the air, which made him remember of the fantasy novels back at his world where in a fantasy world, experts would use the Qi in the air to generate power beyond human’s capabilities. Not to mention those beasts just now..especially little pup’s father, the way it seemed to be able to control lightning..it just somehow fits with the term “magic” he read from the fantasy novels.

At that moment, he finally remembered. The goddess said that she left him a message that could explain his whole circumstances.

Then he became even more confused. Where is the message that the goddess have left him ? He looked left and right to find some scroll or something that the goddess may have left him.

At the moment he looked downwards, he immediately became embarrassed. Due to the situation he was thrown to earlier, he did not notice that he was currently naked without a speck of clothing. The good thing is that he was currently in the midst of a forest, he didn't know how he would react if others have seen him in this state.

“ Hey, are you hearing this ? “ Suddenly..a voice rang out in his mind, the voice sounded extremely sweet and beautiful, like a beautiful melody in his ears.

The moment Li Zun heard the voice, he was surprised, surprised because he knew exactly whose voice did it belonged to.

" Goddess ! “ Li Zun exclaimed loudly, He immediately turned his head at every direction as if he was looking for a lost child. Thankfully there was no one that heard or seen him, or he would have looked very foolish.

“ There is no use in searching for me, as this is just a message I directly imprinted on your soul “ the voice rang out once more. When Li Zun realized this, he became very embarrassed, his face turned red. Because for just a moment there, he had even thought that the goddess had turned into the little pup.

“ Listen closely Li Zun “ Li Zun had actually foolishly nodded his head at the sentence, once again making Li Zun embarrassed and at the same time amazed, amazed of the goddess’ power to leave him a message like this that felt like she was talking directly to him.

If the goddess had scene this scene, she would have definitely laugh heartily.

“ What I am about to tell you, you must not tell anyone you don’t trust, remember ! And especially me ! You must not tell anyone, even your closest friends. “ The voice of the goddess sounded very grave, Li Zun quickly turned serious too. He knew that, whatever it is, to make the goddess’ voice sounded so serious it must be a treasured secret that if he were to flung around telling everybody, not only he may gain the consequences, even the goddess who helped him may get herself into trouble.

“ Right now, you are no longer a mortal, you are now a half-God or to be exact, a Demigod. “ The instant the voice ended the sentence, Li Zun became incomparable shocked once more.

“ I am no longer a mortal ? I am now..a God ? “ Li Zun thought to himself. In fact, he had never believed the existence of gods before he met the goddess, now that he had been told he was now one, how could he not be confused ? Not just him, anyone that could be considered normal would have been confused.

Before Li Zun could comprehend what it meant to be a God, the voice sounded out again.

“ If you don't believe me, check out your body. By now, you must have realized that there is a powerful, mysterious energy inside of you right ? That energy is called.. Divine Energy ! Divine Energy are the unique energy of Gods ! They have many uses, for example; healing your body, or even another's body to even exterminating your opponents ! “

By now, Li Zun's mouth was wide agape, that if a quail egg was thrown into his mouth, it would fit right in.

“ So that's what that energy was ! No wonder, no wonder ! “ Li Zun felt that he became enlightened to one of his questions.

" I have left an imprint on your memories on how to use your divine energy, check on them later on. Now, I have to tell you where you currently are. “

Li Zun felt increasing admiration to the goddess, he felt that she knew everything that he wanted to ask.

“ You are now currently on a lesser world called Cloudy Days Planet. To be exact, you are exactly at the Center of Mythical Beast Forest in the Floating Cloud Continent. “

“ The Cloud Days Planet, as you may have realized, contains an energy flowing through the air called The Heaven and Earth Qi. In actuality, the Cloudy Days Planet was categorized as a lesser planet because of the lack of the Heaven-Earth Qi, you may have felt a dense amount of it because of the big tree behind you. That tree is called the Earthly Oak Tree, it is quite the treasure. “

The voice continued.. “ Planets are categorized to 4 kinds according to their abundance of Heaven-Earth Qi. Grand, greater, lesser & empty. The planet that you have lived before, is empty, which means that there were not a single trace of Heaven-Earth Qi, resulting that mortals were became unable to cultivate….”

The voice continued on and on, explaining to him about what he should do, to the cultivation of mortals to beasts and magic beasts and that there were other Gods that resided in a planet, although they were usually residing only in planets that is abundant in Heaven-Earth Qi.

Finally, the voice felt like it was ending the conversation. “ Remember Li Zun, you must never, never use your divine energy when you go out of the Cloudy Days Planet. Cloudy Days Planet is protected by a barrier preventing energy to come out, that is why no experts have taken fancy to the Earthly Oak Tree and snap it out. As long as you stay inside the barrier, then you are safe. Unless you were to become a true full God, then you can never ever use your Divine Energy outside. Because a Demigod is extremely rare, and there were usually circumstances when there is one. “

Li Zun nodded his head in agreement. The world is extremely dangerous after all, especially when the Goddess said that he was a rare kind, who knew if someone would kidnap him and use him for experiment.

Just the thought of that made Li Zun shiver. If one were to say, He, Li Zun is probably not so afraid of death. What he was most afraid was if his freedom was taken away. That was how he came to be able to live for 30 years in solitary after all. “ Freedom “

He liked to wander around the world, looking at the creation of nature and the lifestyle of people, albeit he had never had the chance to converse with them.

The goddess voice rang once more.

“ Alright, this is my last message until you experience a breakthrough. Live your life as you want this time Li Zun… “ the voice became fainter and fainter until it couldn't be heard again.

Li Zun looked up at the sky, it was the first time he felt excitement in a long amount of time.

The new, unknown world in front of him, what mysteries does it hold ? He could not help but shiver in excitement.

At the same time he felt something moving in his arms. Something fuzzy and warm.

When Li Zun turned his downwards, he was met by the stare of the curious little pup, staring right directly in his eyes with eyes full of wonder..
