Book One, Zhao Fu.
Seeing Zhao Fu appear in front of him, the young man cried out in fear, "Outsider!"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I want to know some things. If you tell me, I won't kill you and will spare your life."
The young man's gaze was resolute as he cried out, "I won't tell you. If you kill me, the Goddess will take revenge for me."
Zhao Fu grabbed at the air, and a formless hand grabbed the young man. The terrifying power seemed to be able to instantly crush the young man.
The young man's face was red with pain and he could not resist at all.
Zhao Fu continued to ask, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
A figure sounded out from within the forest, "Let go of him!"
Zhao Fu looked over and saw a young woman in red clothes with exquisite features running over and smiling as she said, "I just need to know some things. If you tell me, I'll let you two go."
The young woman looked at the young man who was about to be crushed and nodded.
The young man called out with great difficulty, "Goddess, don't mind me."
Zhao Fu threw the young man in front of the young woman and asked in surprise, "You're that Goddess?"
The young woman looked at the young man on the ground and saw that he was not injured. She then nodded at Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu lightly laughed as he said, "I thought you were the Sun God's Goddess."
The young woman said, "That's the Great Goddess; we're just ordinary Goddesses in charge of managing the temples; there's a huge difference between our statuses."
Zhao Fu smiled and nodded.
The young man said, "Goddess, he's an outsider; I saw it with my own eyes."
The young woman said seriously, "I know that he's incredibly powerful; apart from the Great Goddess, he's the most terrifying person I've ever seen. It's best if we behave ourselves; he can casually kill us."
The young man looked quite shocked; he had never thought that Zhao Fu would be so powerful.
Hearing their words, Zhao Fu asked, "Do you dislike outsiders?"
The young woman said, "Mm, it's because you outsiders have done many bad things in our place, so we all hate you."
Zhao Fu frowned and asked doubtfully, "Did many people ascend to the fifth sun?"
The red-dressed young lady asked curiously, "What do you mean by ascending to the fifth sun?"
The young man thought of something and looked at Zhao Fu in shock. "He's not an outsider. He's someone who ascended from the lower realm."
Zhao Fu nodded, "That's right, I ascended from the lower realm."
The young woman looked at Zhao Fu in shock. They had only heard of people ascending to the sun in ancient times, and they had thought that it was just a legend. They had never thought that it was true, and they had personally witnessed it. No one else had ever seen it before.
However, how could there still be people who could ascend? What status and ability did Zhao Fu have to be able to ascend from the lower realms? The two of them were very curious about Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu asked, "Tell me what an outsider is first."
The red-dressed young lady explained to Zhao Fu.
It turned out that after the Sun God disappeared, the Fifth Sun's nine Great Goddesses split into two factions. One faction had five Great Goddesses, while the other had four Great Goddesses. As they split, the countless people living on the sun also split into two factions.
In order to fight over the god palace, a massive war erupted, resulting in the deaths of countless creatures. In the end, the five Great Goddesses' faction won and took control of the god palace. They could be called the Guardian Faction.
The other faction was chased out and brought some people to live in the border regions, becoming the Destruction Faction.
The outsiders they were talking about were the people from the Destruction Faction. Because the border regions lacked resources and the terrain was quite dangerous, the people there were quite ferocious. They often went to the Guardian Faction's territory to steal resources, kill people, and do many evil things.
This was why the Guardian Faction hated outsiders so much. They would normally attack anyone they saw, which was why the young man had attacked Zhao Fu. However, he had never thought that Zhao Fu's power would be so terrifying.
There were not many people living on the Fifth Sun. The Guardian Faction had roughly ten million people, while the Destruction Faction only had one million. The Guardian Faction had enough of an advantage, and the Destruction Faction did not dare to go head-on against the Guardian Faction.
The Great Goddesses of the two factions were in a deep sleep, and the ones in charge of these places were the Lesser Goddesses.
After hearing the red-dressed young lady's words, Zhao Fu started to think to himself. He had never thought that the matters of the Fifth Sun would be so complicated. Zhao Fu had planned to go to the god palace and ascend to the throne like before to obtain source energy.
However, this method might not work; who knew what the Great Goddesses would do to him?
In the end, Zhao Fu thought about it and said, "I want you to take me to your City."
Zhao Fu planned to investigate some information before making any decisions; safety was the most important.
The red-dressed young lady said, "Sure, but if you dress like this, people will think that you're an outsider. You need to dress up a bit."
Zhao Fu took off his black cloak and asked, "How should I dress up?"
Looking at Zhao Fu's extraordinary looks, the two of them immediately froze and looked at Zhao Fu dumbly. They had never seen such a good-looking person before, and their hearts rapidly beat.
Zhao Fu asked, "What is it?"
The two of them came back to their senses, and the red-dressed young lady's face blushed as she shook her head.
Following this, the red-dressed young lady took out all sorts of items and started to dress up Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu's clothes were now purple robes, which were made from this region's special materials. There was also a red sun insignia on his arm.
The red-dressed young lady looked at Zhao Fu. Compared to before, he now had a trace of a noble and mysterious aura, and he gave off a formless charm. He was like a noble young master, causing the red-dressed young lady's heart to race.
Zhao Fu looked at his clothes and asked, "Is this okay?"
The red-dressed young lady shook her head, "You're too good-looking, and you still have to wear this."
The red-dressed young lady handed Zhao Fu a wooden mask that covered the upper half of his face.
Zhao Fu took the mask, put it on, and thanked her.
The red-dressed young lady happily said, "You're welcome!"
The young man looked at the red-dressed young lady, who seemed to be infatuated with Zhao Fu, and he could understand why. As a man, he was almost infatuated with Zhao Fu, let alone a woman.
His relationship with the red-dressed young lady was only that of good friends and nothing else.
Zhao Fu waved his hand and ten or so treasures appeared in front of the two of them. Zhao Fu smiled and said, "These are my rewards for you."
The young man looked at the spirit light that the treasures gave off. To him, these were incredibly precious treasures, and there were so many of them. The young man looked incredibly excited and hurriedly thanked Zhao Fu.
Looking at these precious treasures, the red-dressed young lady realized the difference in status between her and Zhao Fu, and she looked quite disappointed.
Following this, Zhao Fu followed the red-dressed young lady and the young man to the City.
