In his previous life, Fang Zhengzhi was a top scholar in Ancient Literature. He was very diligent in his studies and had even published a few theses in magazines.
Of course, that wouldn't be of any use.
After graduation, he was lucky enough to become one of the unemployed. The reason was that he could not find much fun in those research institutes.
All he did was translate some ancient characters, look up information, translate again, and then look up information again …
How boring.
Most importantly, there was not a single lady in business attire. They were either old grandpas, old grannies with reading glasses, or lifeless bookworms.
Fang Zhengzhi was a person with dreams and pursuits. He could not allow himself to be trapped by such a life. Therefore, he rejected the dull and boring job of a research lab and resolutely walked into the workforce of society.
Then...
There was no then.
When Fang Zhengzhi held onto his Ancient Literature diploma and wanted to have a cup of coffee in his left hand and a secretary in his right, he was surprised to find out that he could not even sell his insurance.
That was his first job hunting experience in his life. Sitting in front of him was a middle-aged lady with a serious look on her face.
"Okay, let the interview begin. First question, what do you think insurance can do for you?" The middle-aged lady pushed her glasses up her face.
"Oh? Shouldn't the first question be a self-introduction? "Fang Zhengzhi, who had just graduated, showed his surprise and naivety.
"Answer!"
"House, car, ticket, woman..."
"Wrong, it's safety!" The middle-aged lady's face tightened. Then, she stared at Fang Zhengzhi for a full ten seconds, "Have you bought insurance?"
"No..."
"Here is an insurance policy. Are you willing to sign your name on it?"
"No..."
"If you don't even agree with insurance, do you think you can do it well? If you don't even have the experience of buying insurance for yourself, how would you know what insurance is? "
"Auntie, are you trying to trick me into buying insurance?" Fang Zhengzhi was enlightened.
"..." The lady held the insurance policy in her hand and was silent for ten seconds. Then, she sighed and placed Fang Zhengzhi's resume to the side, "Okay, next!"
Fang Zhengzhi's first interview was a failure.
Of course, this did not mean that Fang Zhengzhi was completely useless. At the very least, he had a solid foundation in the study of ancient texts.
Oracle bone inscriptions, stone inscriptions, bell and cauldron inscriptions …
He knew a thing or two about them!
He had even studied Cangjie Script, Xiayu Script, Hongyan Heavenly Script, Bashu Script, Dongba Script, and many more of the eight mysterious Chinese scripts.
A genius of a generation was a genius of a generation after all.
When Fang Zhengzhi said "I seem to know all of these words", he said it out of sincerity and honesty.
However, his honest words gave Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the rest of the Human Alliance a heavy blow.
That feeling was like being punched in the face.
Very confused!
"All … all of them?!"
"He said that he knows all the words on the stone tablet?"
"…"
The disciples of the Human Alliance looked at each other. If Fang Zhengzhi was still Sagely Battle God Meng Tian, they would have believed him.
But now, Fang Zhengzhi was Fang Zhengzhi.
How could they believe him?
Especially Mu Qingfeng, his throat felt like it was stuffed with a duck egg. It was stifled and blocked, and he didn't know what to say at all.
"You know all of them? If you f * cking know all of them, then what am I? "Mu Qingfeng thought that no one would dare to say that they were the most knowledgeable and experienced.
However, now, someone had jumped out in front of everyone.
Moreover, this person had shamelessly said that he knew all of the words that Fang Zhengzhi could not understand even after studying for a few months?
Who was he lying to!
One could be shameless, but not to this extent.
Just as Mu Qingfeng was about to question him, he suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
It was not that he suddenly believed him.
Instead, he thought of something else.
Wait a minute!
If Fang Zhengzhi was Sagely Battle God Meng Tian, then the words that Wu Yuer said on the Ling Xiao Mountain and the legend …
Damn it, he seemed to have fallen into this brat's trap again!
Mu Qingfeng instantly understood. If he guessed correctly, the legend should have come from Fang Zhengzhi's "golden mouth".
Shameless, he was extremely shameless.
Mu Qingfeng was furious. However, he could understand that Fang Zhengzhi's motive for making up this legend was to capture Yun Qingwu.
If that was the case, then could there be another reason why Fang Zhengzhi purposely said that he knew all of the words on the Stone Tablet?
Mu Qingfeng felt that this was highly possible.
Although he did not know why Fang Zhengzhi purposely said that, he believed that there must be a reason. He did not know what the exact reason was, but thinking of Fang Zhengzhi's actions during this period of time, he felt that it was better not to expose Fang Zhengzhi's "lies" for the time being.
"Alright, let's see what this brat is up to!" Mu Qingfeng coughed and pointed to the Stone Tablet not far away, "Fang Zhengzhi, since you said that you know all of the words on the Stone Tablet, then tell us roughly what the three stories are about."
Mu Qingfeng's sentence was rather skillful.
Although it seemed like he was doubting Fang Zhengzhi, he was actually reminding Fang Zhengzhi that there were three stories on the Stone Tablet.
Moreover, he purposely asked Fang Zhengzhi to only tell him roughly so that Fang Zhengzhi would not contradict himself when he was "reading".
After all, they had already studied it for a period of time before Fang Zhengzhi arrived. At that time, Mu Qingfeng had already told the Human Alliance about some of the words on the Stone Tablet that he could understand.
"Hmm, shameless guy. Tell everyone about it." Wu Yuer quickly understood the meaning of Mu Qingfeng's words and immediately added.
As for what Fang Zhengzhi said about knowing all of the words?
She was not dumb!
Moreover, not only was Wu Yuer not dumb, she knew Fang Zhengzhi better than most people.
He was extremely talented and unparalleled.
However, he had a fatal weakness, which was that he did not understand the history and legends of the entire world at all.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Fang Zhengzhi was a blank piece of paper.
In that case, how could Fang Zhengzhi understand the words on the Stone Tablet? He had never been here before, so it would be a miracle if he could understand it!
"Alright, I'll take a look first." Fang Zhengzhi nodded casually and walked towards the Stone Tablet calmly.
"…"
"Take a look first?!"
The surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance looked at each other and felt as though they were struck by lightning.
Didn't he say that he knew all of the words?
Why did he have to take a look again?
Just as the disciples of the Human Alliance were about to speak again, they heard Fang Zhengzhi say, "Hmm … the first paragraph is … hmm … I see, oh … no wonder, wow … the handwriting here is a little blurry …"
"…"
"Can you stop pretending?!"
"Who the f * ck would believe that you could really understand it?"
Initially, when the disciples of the Human Alliance heard Fang Zhengzhi say "the first paragraph is", they were somewhat surprised and hopeful. However, they were speechless when they heard the latter half of his sentence.
How the f * ck could he even understand it?
He must be lying to a fool!
Of course, they knew it but they did not dare to say it out loud. After all, the scene on the Heaven Zen Mountain was still fresh in their minds.
Fang Zhengzhi was someone who would kill anyone he did not like.
They could not afford to offend him …
Most importantly, he was already terrifyingly powerful. Dao Hun's death was the proof. Mu Qingfeng and the other peak Sages were nothing compared to him.
Even a few Godly State experts had died in his hands.
How would they dare to talk about such a person?
…
At this moment, Yan Xiu and Ping Yang came to Fang Zhengzhi's side. Unlike the rest, Ping Yang looked shocked while Yan Xiu looked extremely calm.
"Pavilion Master Mu said that the first paragraph was about Mother Earth searching for the source of the disaster. In the end, she realized that the suffering in the world originated from the Cosmic Disaster and started to search for a way to remedy the situation. Is there any difference between what you read and what he said?" Yan Xiu asked Fang Zhengzhi.
"Are you interested in this too?" Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Yan Xiu.
"Hmm." Yan Xiu nodded.
"Then let me read it to you," said Fang Zhengzhi.
"…"
"…"
Wu Yuer and the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance were speechless.
The most speechless person was Mu Qingfeng. If he could, he really wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi. Did he have to do this? Was this brat not afraid of being exposed?
Read!
Why don't you f * cking read it out for me!
Fang Zhengzhi's voice was heard as soon as Mu Qingfeng thought of this.
"In the ancient times, the four poles were destroyed, the sky could not be overturned, the earth could not be contained, the fire could not be extinguished, the water was endless, the ferocious beasts ate the people, the caterpillars captured the old and the weak …"
"…"
"…"
As Fang Zhengzhi's voice was heard, the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance fell into dead silence. That was because their mouths were agape.
He was really reading it!
Furthermore, he was reading it so fluently?!
What a monster!
The disciples of the Human Alliance were dumbfounded because they were studying the first paragraph before Fang Zhengzhi arrived.
With the combined efforts of Mu Qingfeng, Dao Xin, Dao Hun, Wu Yuer, Yan Qianli, and a series of other knowledgeable "experts", they actually managed to translate a few of the words.
For example, the words "Four Extremes", "Heaven", "Fire", and "Water", through their deduction, slowly evolved into a story, a story of natural disasters.
Yet now, Fang Zhengzhi was able to link these words together fluently and turned them into a sentence that could not be any more common.
"…" Mu Qingfeng's face was as red as a pig's liver. There was a tinge of purple within the red, and a tinge of white within the purple. If there was a hole in the ground in front of him, he would definitely jump into it without hesitation.
Did he have to do this?
Did he have to do this?!
What kind of a genius was this brat?
He could actually read all the words on the Stone Tablet. What the f * ck, he was really reading it, word by word, he could really read it …
"Heaven mended, four poles of righteousness … alright, I have finished reading the first paragraph. Do you think it is very different from what Old Man Mu said?" Fang Zhengzhi did not notice the expressions of Mu Qingfeng and the disciples of the Human Alliance. After reading the first paragraph patiently, he turned to look at Yan Xiu.
"There are some discrepancies, but Pavilion Master Mu's translation is passable." Yan Xiu nodded his head slightly and said honestly.
"…" The disciples of the Human Alliance turned to look at Mu Qingfeng.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng stood blankly on the spot. He did not know if he should leave or stay. He did not know if he should open his mouth or not.
This was so f * cking awkward!
"Old Man Mu, didn't you say that in the Holy Region, you are the best candidate for the research of ancient texts?" Mo Shanshi spoke.
"Old Man Mo, why aren't you dead yet?" Mu Qingfeng's face turned red and white. He clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the severely injured Mo Shanshi.
"Thanks to you, I won't die for the time being after taking your medicine. Oh right, you haven't answered my question?" Mo Shanshi smiled and stood up slowly.
After resting for a while, some of the toxins in Mo Shanshi's body had been removed. In addition, Mu Qingfeng had treated Mo Shanshi. At this moment, Mo Shanshi was no longer unable to stand up. He could move his hands and feet normally.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to answer your question just because you asked me to?" Mu Qingfeng turned his head and ignored Mo Shanshi's provocation. However, his face turned redder and redder.
That was because he really did not understand how Fang Zhengzhi could understand the words on the Stone Tablet.
Mu Qingfeng widened his eyes and looked at the Stone Tablet again. He stared at the words that looked like tadpoles and the symbols and images that appeared occasionally.
"Did I fall into an illusion?" Mu Qingfeng would never believe that Fang Zhengzhi could really understand the words, let alone all of them.
It was too strange!
Mu Qingfeng still remembered that during the one month he was in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, he spent almost 80% of his time in the treasure vault of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"Found it on the treasure vault? No way, I have finished reading all the books on it … "Mu Qingfeng shook his head. He really did not understand.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi's voice was heard again.
