Chapter 85 What does it mean that your father is the same as Dong Zhuo of Xiliang?
To be honest, I was definitely a little panicked, since I had never experienced anything like this before.
Zhou Zheng lay back down on the sofa, staring wistfully at the ceiling, his hands resting on his stomach: "Brother Liu, tell me, can a truly wicked person ever repay their debt by reforming and doing good deeds for a lifetime?"
Liu Zhen comforted him, "It's alright. Now that you're cultivating, your lifespan is incredibly long, so don't worry about not being able to repay your debts in one lifetime. If all else fails, you have the next life, and the life after that, and the life after that... Cultivating to be a good person for ten lifetimes should be enough."
Zhou Zheng: "..." I knew I wasn't wrong, you're a coward.
Liu Zhen: "I can hear you cursing me in your heart. I'm an immortal, not a fool."
Not to mention that saying something to someone's face in your mind is no different from shouting it in their ear.
Zhou Zheng: Oh, sorry Brother Liu, I'm withdrawing it.
Liu Zhen: "It's too late to withdraw now. Just keep a record of it. Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Heaven won't rush you to pay it off. You can pay it off slowly, and you can even start building a system of accumulating good karma from small things around you."
Zhou Zheng shifted to a more comfortable position, lying on his side on the sofa. "Let me think of something. Brother Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Zhen's expression suddenly turned serious. He quickly stood up, walked to the center of the living room, and knelt on the floor in a flash, pressing his palms to the floor: "I hereby report to the Heavenly Venerable..."
Zhou Zheng blinked: "My virtue and fortune are so low, should I report to the Heavenly Venerable for help? Is that even possible?"
Liu Zhen: "...Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, Zhou Zheng is right beside me. Yes, I will take him to meet the Heavenly Venerables. Zhou Zheng, come here quickly, the Heavenly Venerables are calling you. You can see them if you stand next to me."
Zhou Zheng jumped up in a flash and ran to Liu Zhen's side: "What? So suddenly? Do I have to kneel down? Did the Heavenly Venerable find out that my blessings were all deducted? So quickly?" That can't be right, I was only deducted into a negative state for less than two minutes.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed. I was standing on auspicious clouds, in the sky. At the end of my vision were several celestial beings radiating divine light, whose appearances I could not make out. However, the image quality was too blurry, even more unbearable than 360p. I could only see their blurry figures and supreme divine light. I had no idea what the celestial beings looked like.
"Whether you kneel or not is fine. I called you here to verify the inexplicable loss of the sun's essence... Hmm? Zhou Zheng, where is your fortune?"
The sound of thunder descended from the heavens, clear and calming, inexplicably putting people at ease.
"Huh? This righteous-looking scoundrel is so strange."
"I've seen despicable people, but this level of depravity is truly rare. Didn't it attract the attention of the tribulation lightning?"
"He was blessed with good fortune, but I don't know what he went through to have his own blessings and virtues diminished to this extent."
High above, the powerful figures marveled. They'd seen the wicked, the utterly wicked, but a righteous yet wicked individual who hadn't been struck down by lightning was truly rare.
Liu Zhen hurriedly explained, "Zhou Zheng tried making a wish and was noticed by Heaven. After his wish was granted, his blessings were reduced to this extent. He is not a particularly wicked person."
Zhou Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I used to make wishes every year on my birthday, but none of them came true this year." I just wanted to try it out, and somehow I died as a result. It's a bit frightening to have accumulated so much good karma.
"Pfft."
Zhou Zheng: "?"
Looking up, I saw the smiles of countless powerful figures.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's the first time I've seen something like this, lol."
"Hahaha, making a wish has drained all my good fortune, hahaha!"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! This kid is so funny, hahaha!"
I've met Xu Hongyuan, but it's rare to see someone like him who has depleted all his blessings and virtues.
Zhou Zheng didn't find anything funny about it; he had already become the one in the wrong. But seeing the big shots laughing instead of keeping a relaxed demeanor was somewhat hurtful.
Lei Zu explained with a smile, "Your ancestors accumulated virtue and did good deeds, your mother upheld good conduct for half her life, your father held a high position of power, you are exceptionally talented and have extraordinary perseverance, and you are a blessed person who has accumulated merit. If you did not cultivate, you could have spent the rest of your life without having to work hard. But since you have started cultivating, you will naturally attract attention."
Just as I sensed you when you first drew the thunder talisman in your innocent ignorance, I truly began to pay attention to you when you started your cultivation. You are like a pearl rising into the sky and transforming into the bright moon. Not to mention that I personally bestowed blessings upon you, and given how often we have mentioned you recently, the Heavenly Dao has naturally taken notice of you.
Zhou Zheng understood. It's not easy for an ordinary person to collect even one of these, but he had collected so many and combined them, which is why he had such a powerful boost.
Liu Zhen whispered, "Your dad holds a high position of power? How powerful?"
Liu Zhen knew roughly what Zhou Zheng's background was, something that was easy to spot at a glance, but he hadn't investigated the specifics yet, since it wasn't a big deal.
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said sincerely, "We live in Liangcheng, you know that, right?"
Liu Zhen nodded: "I know."
Zhou Zheng: "Have you heard of Dong Zhuo of the Xiliang Group?"
Liu Zhen nodded: "I know that too, and then what?"
Zhou Zheng: "My father is equivalent to Dong Zhuo of Xiliang."
Liu Zhen: "?" I really don't know.
Dude, with your family's wealth, why are you living such a low-key life? Do you spend all your time indoors playing computer games like a shut-in?
Zhou Zheng: "...Why are you looking at me like that? Is Xiaoxue from a poor family? Is it affecting her being a homebody?"
Xiaoxue's dad is a local guns enthusiast, does that affect her gaming and make me get stuck in the red zone?
So what's wrong with me being a stay-at-home guy who lives off my parents?
Lei Zu laughed and said, "So, if you don't cultivate, you can live out your remaining years in peace without having toil. But if you start cultivating, you will naturally attract a lot of attention."
When a son begins his spiritual practice, he will inevitably be influenced by his father's official career—how could he let such a lucrative opportunity slip away? If you dare to make a wish, Heaven might grant it; how you fulfill it depends on your own strength.
Heaven isn't afraid that it won't grant wishes after things are properly regulated. It may be a bit expensive, but you should ask whether it's effective, whether it's a legitimate organization, a legitimate loan, and legitimate benefits.
"Haha, Heaven loves kids like you who make wishes without knowing anything and then ruin half their lives."
"Heaven's blessings will not leave you at a loss. As for repaying the debt of good fortune, haha, you'll have to figure that out yourself."
"Are you trying to make me laugh to death by buttoning it up like that? Hahahaha!"
High above, the big shots were laughing heartily, unable to stop.
Zhou Zheng: "..." Sometimes I really dislike these gods who laugh at people all the time. What's so funny? So what if they're labeled as negative people? You can't even be one if you want to!
Liu Zhen nudged Zhou Zheng: "Keep it down, everyone can hear what you're thinking."
Zhou Zheng focused his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart, thus calming his mind and quieting his thoughts.
I didn't think about anything. Everyone here is a great person, no, everyone here is a great god, an extremely great god.
Lei Zu chuckled and said, "I will repay this debt of good fortune for you. As for your own good fortune, you will have to accumulate it yourself. It wouldn't sound good if word got out that Lei Bu's genius is a wicked person."
A stream of primordial yellow energy descended from the sky.
A pop-up window appeared in front of Zhou Zheng.
Lei Zu has repaid your debt of good karma for you, and you have now successfully become a person without good fortune. Quickly thank Lei Zu.
