Ch 2 - I will survive even against the greatest demons

The young man had a terrified expression appearing on his face.

'No way. Is this supposed to be biggest joke played on me by fate? If I had to be reincarnated to this world, atleast make me Feng Jin Huang who can easily gain attainment using Dreams Wings Immortal gu or atleast an insignificant mortal who won't be affected by Fate war or anything else. Any mortal in Eastern Seas can have fulfilling life due to resources there. Any other character would also have been fine but why Fang Zheng? No, it is impossible to survive as Fang Zheng. If I was anyone else, atleast I would have a sliver of hope. The heavens are playing with me by making me the demon's brother.'

Thinking upto this point, the young man shivered heavily while an image of a person came up in his mind. Although he had not personally seen this person, that person's shadow had been embedded in each and every part of his body. The will of the previous owner of this body still resided in his mind and had heavy grievances against this person.

'Gu Yue Fang Yuan'

Lord Sky Crane who was in Spirit Incubating Flea was observing this and repeatedly sighed. He had earlier intended to sacrifice Fang Zheng and possess his body but seeing his story he felt they both were truly similar and hence gave Fang Zheng an another chance.

'Poor disciple, you will have to face much worse adversaries in the future. You will have to suffer much more pain if you want to keep moving forward. I can only support you by then side.'

Originally, Fang Zheng's body was tall and he had long black hair that resembled a cape, his eyes were crystal clear. Although he looked ordinary, he had quite the disposition and was full of life. Wearing a green and white robe, he looked like a gentleman, it was very comfortable to look at him. However, right now Fang Zheng looked very weak and was continuously shivering as if a great demon was haunting him.

'Sigh. Looking at his weak body makes me feel pity for him. I will help him with some treats after he recover so that he can get back to his original self.', Lord Sky Crane thought.

Meanwhile, the young man gradually started to accept the reality in front of him.

'It's been months since I last read Reverend Insanity. Even though I read it twice, I don't remember most of the stuff. Especially who would focus on a side character like Fang Zheng of all people!!'

'Let me recollect what I remember though : Fang Zheng's early characterization is his inferiority complex to his brother, which quickly evolve into inferiority-superiority complex when he was found with A-grade aperture. He was meant to become the future clan leader but was swept up in Fang Yuan's schemes and actions. His gullible nature allowed many to take advantage of him and using him for their cause. Despite him growing into an adult he still has the mindset of an ignorant and defiant youngster, at times not even wanting to accept the truth and evidence that's right before his eyes. Later on, when Qing Mao Mountain exploded, Fang Zheng was saved by Lord Sky Crane to find Fang Yuan, who had stolen the true inheritance of Blood Sea Ancestor. Fang Zheng trained in enslavement path and started controlling Flying Cranes.'

'By this point, Fang Zheng must have finished his training for 8 years inside Fu Hu Blessed Land, and the with the use of Relic Gu that Immortal Crane Sect provided, he must have became a rank 5 Gu Master with quasi-master attainment in enslavement path. This body has a rank 5 cultivation along with being a member of ten great ancient sects. My future would be anything but great if only there was no hidden danger such as Fang Yuan.'

'If I remember correctly, after waking up, I would become a sect elder of Immortal Crane Sect and start to experience the political competition of the (mortal) upper echelons. Later, during the Refinement Path Convention, I will be captured by his the demon Fang Yuan, who was also publicly recognised as a fellow member of Immortal Crane Sect. Fang Yuan did so with the intent to either use him to possess his body or as to refine him into a blood deity but he could not complete his plans. When it is revealed that I am a fate escapee that should have died back at Qing Mao Mountain, I will ultimately be killed by Heavenly court's order and later secretly revived by Fang Yuan.'

The young man shuddered at this thought. He was from modern earth and frowned at the slightest pain. Never mind dying and later on being resurrected to just being tortured. Although he did not have any ill will towards Fang Yuan, becoming a blood deity was not acceptable to him.

'I am in danger everywhere with endless cliff on my left and high mountains on my right side. A slight misstep and I will forever fall into the deep abyss.'

'This can't do. I must increase my strength at whatever cost. Heavenly Court requires me to deal with Fang Yuan. I will survive. I must survive these great demons and righteous hypocrites and create a path for myself to survive.', A flash of determination passed through the young man's eyes.

He stopped shivering and stood up and let out an imposing aura of Rank 5 Gu master.

'This kid. I was not wrong to give him second chance', Lord Sky Crane saw it and his eyes flashed with joy.
