Zhong Kui's Diary
Fortune God smiled lightly, "The remaining consciousness eventually exploded again due to insufficient purity, splitting into several large remnants of consciousness. These consciousnesses wandered between the earth; some directly evolved into Demon, some transformed into Spirit, and others were absorbed by Fifth Generation Humans, becoming Cultivator."
"Fifth Generation Humans? That's our generation. Are you saying that the ancestors of Kong Xuan, Xiao Qingcheng, and Gao Youdi as well as Flower Attacker are all absorbers of these residual consciousnesses?" I asked in surprise.
"That's right." Fortune God nodded with a smile, "You could say that those so-called Grandmaster are all descendants of those residual consciousnesses."
"Then will they subconsciously kill humans?" I frowned.
"This shouldn't happen. These descendants only learned Spell and did not inherit their thinking. Just like the disciples of Sun God and Moon Demon, Yang Ding and Yin Jiu You, they did not inherit their killing intent but instead moved on to another world." Fortune God sighed, "Currently, the only one inheriting the consciousness of Prehistoric Demon is Judgment of Life and Death. Fortunately, it inherited a fragment of memory-less consciousness; perhaps its subconscious still harbors a killing intent towards humans, but the chance of that killing intent awakening is extremely low."
"I see." My heart felt somewhat more at ease. Although the current Demon does not regard humans highly, at least they would not actively kill humans. Feeling relaxed, I casually asked, "What about you robots?"
Fortune God chuckled, "Although humanity was wiped out last time, four of our battle robots survived: namely, you know them as Fortune God, Cursed God, Wealth God, and Poverty God. It is precisely because of our assistance that humanity's evolution time was shortened to over sixty million years... However, due to our battle robots being injured by the Demon in the last war, all our systems were damaged. Therefore, we cannot provide you with the technological civilization from our era; we can only assist indirectly."
"Assist indirectly?" I looked at Fortune God with a puzzled expression.
"For example, when you were still eating raw meat, I created a Wildfire, burned a few wild boars to death, letting you know that roasted pig is tastier; that's called indirect assistance. As for things like gunpowder and compasses, it was only under our continuous hints that you would suddenly understand." Fortune God gave a wry smile, "In your records, inventions like airplanes and cannons might seem like sudden flashes of inspiration; in reality, we were there assisting you all along, constantly creating opportunities for you and sparking your inspiration."
I laughed heartily, "Then I represent humanity in giving you a big red flower. By the way, I've seen you as Fortune God, and I've also seen Cursed God. I haven't seen Wealth God and Poverty God. Where are they?"
"You won't see Wealth God and Poverty God. During the last battle between Sun God and Moon Demon, they were caught in an attack from Sun God and were obliterated," said Fortune God flatly.
I was stunned for a while before awkwardly saying, "Uh, if you know that the Demon is going to fight, just stay away."
"You have no idea! If we hadn't been there to stir things up, could Sun God and Moon Demon have fought?" Fortune God rolled his eyes at me.
I scratched my head and didn't argue. After all, both Wealth God and Poverty God sacrificed themselves for humanity. After listening to so much from Fortune God, I already felt grateful and respectful towards them. I smiled and changed the subject: "Why doesn't Cursed God live with you? That way they can look out for each other."
"Cursed God was also affected during the battle between Sun God and Moon Demon. Now its thinking is somewhat off," said Fortune God, pointing to his head. After pondering for a moment, he added, "Well, it’s currently a bit neurotic; it often messes with humans for no reason."
"You mean that the bad luck of Fatty is caused by it?" Hearing this from Fortune God, I hurriedly asked.
Fortune God asked me what was going on, and I recounted the entire situation.
"It must be him. It's not the first time I've dealt with this kind of thing. Every time, I end up handling the aftermath. You know the story of A Blessing in Disguise, right? That old man lost a horse that Cursed God drove away. I thought this wasn't right; that horse was the only property of that family, so I helped bring back a bunch of horses. When Cursed God saw this, he got angry and broke the old man's son's leg. I had no choice but to manipulate the conscription process; those with broken legs don't need to serve." Fortune God sighed with a bitter smile, "I don't even know how many times I've wiped his behind, and Cursed God was also unhappy with my actions, which is why he angrily parted ways with me."
I ignored the latter part of Fortune God's statement and exclaimed angrily, "Damn it, is all of this being orchestrated by Cursed God?"
Then I recalled what Fortune God had just said and furrowed my brow, asking suspiciously, "Are you completely unaware of all this? Then why do you often clean up after Cursed God? Fatty has been plagued by bad luck; why haven't you done anything to bring him some good fortune?"
Seeing my inquiry, Fortune God smiled slightly. Without any visible movement, hundreds of Silver Round Can flew out from that distant Cylinder, resembling the kind I had seen by the roadside, instantly hovering above my head.
"What is this?" I asked in astonishment.
"This is called Lucky Light. Cursed God has something similar called Cursed Light. We use these things to control the luck of individuals." Fortune God gestured towards the Cylinder.
"This thing can control human luck?" I expressed disbelief.
"Indeed." Fortune God chuckled as one of the Silver Round Can floated above me. With a pop, the silver Round Can released a silver arc of light that enveloped me. At the same time, I felt a faint chill settle upon me, but when I focused on it, there was nothing more.
"Isn't this just a communication tool? What's really going on?" I wondered.
"This is Lucky Light! If such an advanced item were only used for communication, it would be a waste of technology," Fortune God replied with a smile. "Take buying lottery tickets as an example. If you choose the numbers 14567, then the Round Can will go to the lottery drawing center to influence the drawing machine to ensure those numbers are drawn. As for Cursed God's Cursed Light, its name speaks for itself; I won't elaborate."
"Wow, that's amazing!" I exclaimed excitedly. "How long does this thing last?"
"It's a one-time product; once used, it's gone." Fortune God laughed.
"What about that Huang Jianguo? Does he have lifetime warranty on his good luck?" I asked unhappily.
"Well, that's because I signed a contract with him. He must protect my safety and obey my orders for his lifetime, and in return, I'll ensure his good luck forever," Fortune God said proudly.
"Safety? Really? You're a robot and you're afraid of dying?" I asked in surprise.
"Damn it! I want to keep this useful body to continue dealing with that Judgment of Life and Death!” Fortune God retorted angrily, glaring at me. After two or three seconds, his gaze began to wander off, and he sighed like a deflated balloon: “Damn it, living among your generation of humans for so long has made me pick up all sorts of bad habits. Yes, I'm indeed afraid of dying; the less energy I have, the more afraid I become."
"I'm afraid of death but not ashamed; I'm also afraid of death," I said with a smile, shaking my head. "Only those who aren't afraid of death are foolish. By the way, you seem to be relatively safe; who else could pose a threat to you?"
"In the past, there weren't many threats, just Judgment of Life and Death. Now there are more. You Top Masters, even the insane Cursed God, can pose a threat to me," Fortune God said with a bitter smile. "The energy within me is recovering more and more slowly now. I used to be able to participate in the competition for Sun God, Moon Demon, but now I can't even defeat you at the Grandmaster Level. Well, you're still the weakest among the Grandmaster Level."
I felt my face flush, realizing that this guy really had low emotional intelligence. I forced a laugh and said, "Can Huang Jianguo ensure your safety by building a Cooling Tower?"
"What else can be done? At least he can divert most people's attention. To be honest, in the past ten years, apart from Huang Jianguo, you are the only human I've interacted with. Moreover, he has set restrictions for accessing the rooftop; only those with purple cards and black cards can go up there. I can sense those cards, so as soon as someone swipes one, I can retract my aura," Fortune God pointed at those Round Can and continued, "As for human luck, it all depends on these Lucky Light to decide. If someone has too much bad luck, good luck will naturally follow; that's how it's programmed, and I rarely get involved."
So perhaps my insane knocking on the Cooling Tower startled Fortune God. What does this mean for Huang Jianguo? The red card he gave me allows access to the rooftop without attracting Fortune God's attention; is he trying to hide something from Fortune God?
After a long silence, seeing that I didn't speak, Fortune God cleared his throat and said, "The situation is like this: it's serious but not too serious. This all hinges on whether Judgment of Life and Death can regain consciousness. For this, I have a suggestion."
"What suggestion?"
"If possible, you should try to eliminate Judgment of Life and Death. It is the most unstable factor concerning humanity's safety. Don't be fooled by its current state of confusion; if any killing intent from its subconscious surfaces, with humanity's current technology, there's no way out except to wait for death," Fortune God said slowly. "In the past, after battles between humans and ghosts, Demon would need to rest for a while. But this time, the Judgment of Life and Death that split off from the Prehistoric Demon doesn't need to rest at all; it can determine humanity's life or death with just a gesture. It's like a Timed Bomb."
I frowned in silence but inwardly disagreed. How could I possibly eliminate something at the level of Judgment of Life and Death? Please provide me with a feasibility report on how to kill Judgment of Life and Death. Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, I'd gladly sign my agreement and rush into danger... but that's clearly impossible. Hmm, since hearing about Cao Dama Zi is quite unpleasant, should I call him to annoy Judgment of Life and Death?
