Zhong Kui's Diary
"You don't know?" I was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at the Fortune God and shouted, "Then how do you know my friends are two men and one woman, and that one is chubby while the other has a full beard?"
The Fortune God instantly stepped back a meter, angrily saying, "Damn it, do you want to fight? I just dived into your memory center and found several such fragments in the memories."
I snorted coldly, "Oh really? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
The Fortune God also snorted back, "Why would I lie to you? You're so stupid that I wouldn't feel accomplished by deceiving you."
How dare you! Hearing the Fortune God constantly retorting, I was getting a bit angry. I chanted a spell and pointed my hand, unleashing a Nine Divine Thunder directly at the Fortune God.
Unexpectedly, although the Fortune God was only the size of a ping pong ball, his abilities were indeed impressive. I don't know how he did it, but a white arc of light appeared out of nowhere and directly confronted the Nine Divine Thunder.
With a crack, the white arc collided with the lightning as thick as an arm, producing a dazzling light before both vanished without a trace.
"Damn, you're serious about this?" the Fortune God said angrily. "Then let's play."
Before he finished speaking, seven arcs of light appeared out of thin air—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—stacked together in the air like a rainbow. Then they swayed slightly and came crashing down towards my head.
"Five Thunder Strikes!" I shouted as several bolts of lightning struck the rainbow in midair.
Five Thunder Strikes is an area attack spell; it's not just five bolts of lightning but hundreds or even thousands of densely packed strikes. After Ji Wuyuan tossed me onto the mountain, I had been bored while walking and reviewed some of Thunder God's spells. Therefore, I was quite skilled with these powerful moves from Thunder God.
The rainbow kept changing colors while lightning continuously fell. For a moment, we seemed evenly matched; my lightning couldn't shatter the rainbow, nor could the rainbow land on my head.
No matter what kind of powerful move I unleashed, the Fortune God simply countered with a rainbow. I had no idea how time was calculated in this ambiguous space; it must have been at least four or five hours outside.
I had cast Spell almost half the time, and I was exhausted!
I shouted Thunderous Strike with all my might, finally unable to hold myself up any longer and squatted down to rest. Thunderous Strike was a level above Five Thunder Strikes, and now the sky was filled with thunder and lightning flashing everywhere, greatly increasing its power. However, casting such a Spell drained a lot of my mana, making my chest feel heavy and my body weak; all I wanted was to lie down and take a nap.
Damn, how can this ping pong ball withstand so much? Is it a special ball for the World Table Tennis Championship?
The rainbow over by Fortune God continued to change and shimmer, but compared to before, it seemed much duller in color and somewhat faded.
After resting for a while, as the lightning in the sky gradually diminished, I could only grit my teeth and struggle to stand up, weakly shouting, “Nine Divine Thunder!”
There was no way; the mana within me was insufficient to cast another Thunderous Strike, and even Five Thunder Strikes felt beyond my capability.
Crack! A bolt of lightning struck down directly at the seven-colored rainbow, exploding with a loud bang as the rainbow shattered into pieces.
Finally, it was destroyed.
I was overjoyed, grinning widely: “Hey, Fortune God, weren’t you very **? Take this—Nine!! Divine! Thunder!”
After I shouted this spell, a dim red light flashed in the sky. After a while, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm came crashing down. At first, it seemed fierce, but halfway down, the lightning actually… lost its strength. Yes, I wasn't mistaken; this bolt of lightning was slowing down and becoming thinner and dimmer. By the end, it looked like a paper ribbon fluttering in the air. Before it even reached Fortune God, the lightning vanished.
Did it run out of energy? Frustrated, I shouted again for Nine Divine Thunder, but this time not even a bolt as thick as chopsticks appeared; it fell silent.
“Haha, so you’re at your last gasp,” Fortune God chuckled. “Watch this!”
A light arc flashed in the air and then burst like a bubble that had been poked, with a soft pop before shattering and disappearing.
Both Fortune God and I were momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. After laughing for a while, I finally gasped for breath and said, “So, Fortune God, I used to hear that you guys are experts beyond Grandmaster Level. Now it seems your skills aren’t that impressive after all.”
"Ah, the child has no mother to talk long!" Fortune God sighed, "Mainly because I'm out of power."
"Out of power? What do you mean by that?" I exclaimed in surprise.
"You thought I was using magic to fight you just now?" Fortune God said with a hint of mockery in his voice.
"Wasn't that the case?" I was even more astonished.
"Wait one minute, and I'll show you my true form," Fortune God said with a grin.
"Why wait a minute?"
"Damn, you're really hopelessly stupid. I'm out of power!" Fortune God replied angrily.
After about a minute, a clattering sound came, and Fortune God's entire body transformed like a Transformer. A few seconds later, an exceptionally exquisite figure appeared before me, hovering in mid-air.
I leaned in to take a closer look; the figure looked completely human, with hair and facial features, arms and legs, and—wow—this was a male.
Seeing me examining a certain part of him, Fortune God disdainfully said, "Never seen one before?"
"Well, I've seen them, but never one this exquisite," I replied with a smile, then suspiciously asked, "What are you trying to tell me by transforming like this?"
"You still don't understand? I'm a robot from sixty-five million years ago," Fortune God declared proudly.
"What the heck, a time-traveling robot? Uh, you must be mistaken; you should be from sixty-five million years in the future!" I said in shock.
"What nonsense are you talking? Have you watched too many movies?" Fortune God sneered, his expression surprisingly vivid despite his robotic appearance.
"Uh, you come from sixty-five million years ago, isn't that time travel?" I asked in confusion.
"Just because I come from sixty-five million years ago means I must have traveled through time? Can't I be alive until now?"
Upon hearing this, I was stunned: "What? You've lived for sixty-five million years?"
"That's right."
"Damn, that's incredibly unbelievable." I shouted, then yelled a few meaningless syllables before asking, "What exactly is going on?"
"With your intelligence, it's hard for me to explain," the Fortune God said with a click of its tongue. "However, this person seems somewhat agreeable, so I'll try to explain this in your way."
"Okay!" I didn't mind that the Fortune God thought my intelligence was low. If it really had a lifespan of sixty-five million years, at such an old age, even if it were a chicken, it would have become a chicken essence. In front of it, being low in intelligence was whatever.
"Do you know how long the Earth has existed?"
"Uh, I remember it's over four billion years," I frowned and recalled; it seemed like I had that impression.
"Good. Then do you know how many years of history human origins have?" the Fortune God smiled slightly.
"How would I know? I'm not a freaking encyclopedia!" I felt a bit frustrated.
"I'll help you. According to your records, the earliest ancient apes existed two million years ago, and it wasn't until fifty thousand years ago that apes began evolving into early Homo sapiens, learning to create fire, walk upright, use tools for hunting..." the Fortune God spoke eloquently.
"Um, Fortune God, sorry to interrupt, but all of this is just speculation by scientists; there isn't any convincing evidence," I raised my hand to cut off the Fortune God's words.
The Fortune God didn't take offense and smiled: "Yes, these are all without evidence. So next, I will tell you the truth."
"Um...?" I cleared my throat.
"Actually, humans began to exist on Earth over a billion years ago..."
"How is that possible?" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Let me give you an example. There is a factory in France that uses Oklo Uranium Ore imported from Gabon. They were astonished to find that this batch of imported uranium ore had been previously utilized. The typical uranium content in uranium ore is about 0.7%, but the Oklo Uranium Ore contained less than 0%. This strange phenomenon caught the attention of scientists. They rushed to the Oklo uranium mine in Gabon and discovered an incredible prehistoric site—a primitive nuclear reactor composed of six areas with about five hundred tons of uranium ore, estimated to output 100 kilowatts of power. This reactor was well-preserved, structurally sound, and had been operational for tens of thousands of years." The Fortune God chuckled, "According to research, the formation of the Oklo uranium mine dates back to around a billion years ago, and shortly after its formation, this nuclear reactor came into existence."
"Are you suggesting that there was human civilization before us? Or are you implying it was an alien civilization?" I asked after a moment of confusion.
"It was human civilization. Humanity has developed into your fifth generation by now. For your understanding, I will refer to the humans from a billion years ago as the First Generation." The Fortune God continued, "The First Generation Humans were pioneers; they were daring yet cautious because Earth was completely unfamiliar to them, yet it was also abundant in resources. To improve their living conditions, they gradually enhanced their environment."
I found myself at a loss for words.
"When the technology of the First Generation Humans accumulated to a certain level, they launched two massive spaceships to explore the universe and attempt to conquer other life-bearing planets. These ships were not only fortresses for attack but also research laboratories; essentially, they were self-sufficient worlds where they could theoretically survive indefinitely." At this point, the Fortune God sighed with a wry smile, "Isn't that impressive? Unfortunately, perhaps due to luck, one of the ships landed first on the planet of the Demons."
"The Demons?" I gasped again.
