道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

Is This the Price I Have to Pay for Having Tricked the Entirety of the World?

"..."

Time passes as an entire week goes by with Ye Gui Feng hiding inside of the world that is within the corpse of Shen Fu Zi.

Throughout this entire time Ye Gui Feng can only watch helplessly as the number of practitioners who are coming into the domains of the Wei and Chen family increase by the hour's passage.

"I didn't expect that divine ancestor to actually be an enemy of the outside world."

"According to what senior Wei Wufeng had said the people who had reside on the Primordial Continent has been harvesting us for more than a million years."

"I can't even begin to imagine how many eras must have come to ruins during those outsiders' harvest."

"What a bunch of despicable bastards..."

Although he cannot hear what they are saying Ye Gui Feng can never the less make a few guesses as to what they might be saying about him and about the Primordial Continent.

Each and every single one of these practitioners have been tricked by the words of Wu Gongchen as he plants a seed of fear within their hearts.

No, it might be more accurate to say that this seed of fear is something that has always been within the hearts of these individuals.

Fear and respect is something that grows alongside the other.

With power comes respect. This is indeed true.

But at the same time the presence of power is something that would cause others to fear the holder of this power.

Considering how unfathomable and mysterious Ye Gui Feng had been with his own origins he didn't find this to be too unexpected.

To the people of this era Ye Gui Feng is someone who had just randomly appeared within the Yao family and is hailed as the Yao family's divine ancestor.

All of that would be fine but Ye Gui Feng had went about tricking this world into thinking that he is the holder of absolute power, a power that none of them can hope to fight against.

With that being the case a seed of fear had been sowed into these people's hearts.

Wu Gongchen had merely been the gardener who had watered these seeds of fears with his words as a means of making them bloom into flowers of fear.

Fear, one might think that it is something that can be used to control a large number of people but once this fear reaches a certain limit it will evolve.

This entire scene in which numerous practitioners of various origins have decided to band together to challenge a common enemy is more than enough to explain what fear is meant to evolve into once it reaches its limits.

The more truths that Wu Gongchen says to these practitioners about the Primordial Continent the more fearful these individuals have become.

This unease caused many of these individuals to set up a series of powerful magic arrays around the corpse of Shen Fu Zi.

Even then these individuals felt like it wasn't enough as they continue to pile on more magic arrays on top of what they already have.

They even went as far as to seal the entrance of this domain as a means of making sure that Ye Gui Feng won't have an easy time escaping.

In the midst of all this the clansmen of the Yao, Chi, and Nie family have been ostracized as they are moved off to the side and surrounded by numerous practitioners made up of various sects and households.

None of the practitioners who surrounded these three families had a kind look on their faces as they look sternly towards the clansmen of these three families.

If it wasn't because of the six Paragon Immortals of these three families acting as a force of deterrence Ye Gui Feng has no doubt that these hostile practitioners would readily kill them all.

(Heh. That bastard... Oh well this is basically what he gets for being a person that is feared by all.)

Seeing the number of people who had arrived into the domains of the Wei and Chen family with the intent to fight off a powerful enemy even Wu Gongchen himself is in shocked. He would never have thought that Ye Gui Feng is someone that is feared by this many people.

"..."

Had this been Ye Gui Feng when he had been inexperienced with the workings of the world during his early days as a practitioner he would surely be having a mental breakdown right now and go insane.

"Goddammit this Wu Gongchen..."

Although Ye Gui Feng didn't know the details of how Wu Gongchen had managed to amass such a big crowd and riled them up with the intentions to kill him he can never the less take a few guesses when thinking of this despicable person's personality and methods.

"He definitely thought of using the same method as me..."

Calming down his nerves and coming to realize that Wu Gongchen had beaten him to it in this game of being the bigger trickster and has successfully framed a massive crime onto him Ye Gui Feng curses up a storm as he falls onto his back.

"*Sigh*"

For the first time ever Ye Gui Feng suddenly understood just how all those people who he had tricked must have felt when they had fallen victim to his tricks. This is something that he would have never expected himself to understand and experience for himself one day.

"...What do I do?"

Looking up at the blue skies of this world Ye Gui Feng is at a loss.

What was he supposed to do?

What can he do?

How was he supposed to turn the tables on Wu Gongchen who had turned the entirety of the world's fear into a powerful force of anger and has successfully directed this anger against him?

Raising his head Ye Gui Feng takes another look at the projection once more.

Even now there are even more practitioners coming into the domains of the Wei and Chen family.

These practitioners have completely surrounded the corpse of Shen Fu Zi on all directions seemingly ready to unleash a heavy wave of bombardments the moment Ye Gui Feng decides to appear out of the corpse.

This entire scene looked as if all of these practitioners had been summoned here in the hopes of eradicating an enemy that can single-handedly wipe away their entire existence.

In actuality there is something rather funny about all of this. Where was this great enemy that can single-handedly wipe away their existence?

Considering how weak Ye Gui Feng is he finds it funny how these people would go about wasting this much effort in trying to kill him.

"I suppose this can be considered them giving me face."

Knowing that he cannot possibly hope to stay here forever Ye Gui Feng continues to ponder about a way out of this mess as his head rests flatly on the ground.

Time passes as the minutes tick by slowly with Ye Gui Feng trying to come up with a way to get himself out of this mess.

But was it truly that easy to settle this entire situation?

When one is faced with the anger of an entire world there is not a single place in which they can hope to hide.

"...Heh... Hahahahahaha!"

Eventually Ye Gui Feng begins to laugh seemingly having gone somewhat insane from the mess that he is in.

"I had tricked the entirety of the world into thinking that I am some peerless expert of the primordial era. Karma... In the end just what is karma? Everything has a price to them even if one isn't aware of them... Is this the price I have to pay for having tricked the entirety of the world?"
