Shepherding Humanity

Chapter 47: Heaven’s Hammer



After Xu Zhi had done all this, he relaxed.

He felt very happy at this moment. Those idiots who spent all their time plotting to overthrow him had been good for something after all.

After finishing his meal, he went to the kitchen to wash the lunch box.

"To think that even the Creator has to wash dishes."

Then, he went next door and returned the lunch box to Mrs Li’s. He didn't hurry home after that, and took a leisurely evening ride on his bike. He rode on the countryside road, surrounded by the sounds of bird song and chirping insects. The night was very tranquil.

He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask the Tyranis Hive Mind:

"By the way, if I assimilate the Phoenix's genes and can be reborn in fire, will I become an egg and come back to life after I kill myself? Will this get rid of my cancer?"

"Yes." The Hive Mind replied.

Xu Zhi was ecstatic. He was finally saved, and no longer had to worry about his cancer!

That idiot had really given him an awesome surprise gift.

The Tyranis Hive Mind continued: "Because this gene is extremely powerful and unique, it will have to occupy 50% of your genetic sequence."

Xu Zhi frowned. There was a lot of space in a person's genetic sequence; after clearing out the useless trash, his original human gene only occupied one tenth of the sequence.

The Evil Eye's genes occupied another one tenth.

In other words, 80% of his genetic sequence was till blank, but once he wasted 50%…

He began to hesitate. The Phoenix’s genes were certainly powerful, but they took up too much space and weren't cost effective. If he could incorporate five types of genes similar to the Evil Eye’s while properly coordinating them, he’d probably get much better results than simply taking in the Phoenix’s genes.

He asked another question: "By the way, if I'm reborn after bathing in fire, will I still be me?"

The Hive Mind replied: "Tyranis Queen, if you do that, then you’d be dead, and your body would be inherited by your offspring."

My offspring?

Xu Zhi was dumbfounded. So after I die, my son will take over my body and inherit everything I have: my property, my money, my sandbox… Even Chen Xi will become my son's girlfriend?

What kind of NTR play was this!

"What a terrifying cuckold gene!"

Xu Zhi continued to leisurely pedal on the small country road. He speechlessly shook his head. "So I'm going to be cucked by my own descendants? I’d rather die than take in this gene."

He immediately abandoned this line of thinking and turned his thoughts elsewhere.

With the introduction of the new poisonous bird species, the large sandbox has become more diverse. The world now had two extraordinary species, along with two deities: the God of Fire, the Phoenix, and himself, the God of Wisdom.

The basics for a World of Wizards has been formed.

"I hope the phoenix will be able to grow up quickly. It becomes stronger with each rebirth, and even now, when it’s just been born, it’s already at the level of the legendary Three Witches and is as powerful as a level six magician. Now that the Three Witches have departed, it should be invincible in this era, and is a true God of Fire… I’ll just have to wait for it to gain sentience."

Xu Zhi stopped his bike.

A lush forest surrounded him, and there was a small river in the distance. It was a quiet and peaceful night in the countryside.

Xu Zhi was now at the level of an apprentice wizard and had come to this place to practice magic. He couldn’t do that in his yard after all, a random explosion could be a world-ending catastrophe for the tiny life-forms in the sandbox.

"Heaven’s Hammer!"

Xu Zhi raised his spirit.

Formless spiritual pressure started gathering and condensing the surrounding air. But, just as the mass of air was about to condense, it dissipated without a sound.

"Heaven’s Hammer!"

Xu Zhi raised his hand and silently chanted an incantation.

This time, the air quickly condensed. Invisible ripples silently converged, and a hammer of air was formed, smashing down into the small river before him.

Boom!

There was a small water spray.

"It only took me two tries. After the three mass extinctions, my spiritual strength has reached a truly terrifying level." Xu Zhi took a deep breath. He felt ecstatic inside.

What man didn’t dream of having super powers when he was a boy? It was very common for young children to have fantasies about becoming wizards, armored warriors, or magical girls, and have the ability to cast spells like Harry Potter.

After trying several more times, Xu Zhi gradually became used to using “Air Magic”. He was extremely talented, and the time it took him to understand and master a magic spell was ten times faster than even the Three Witches.

After all, he was already a Tyranis hero. He had perfected himself by getting rid of the useless and overly complicated parts of his genes, and could be considered a higher life-form. Were he to enter the sandbox himself, then his achievements would be even greater than the Three Witches’.

However, he didn't have the time and energy to do everything by himself.

The Three Witches had spent over two hundred years to open this path. Xu Zhi didn’t want to spend his entire life on something like that.

"They've also learned to use staves as a medium to perform witchcraft. This could be considered a prototype of alchemy." Xu Zhi felt that it was a pity: "But, I'm having trouble making a staff in reality. Otherwise, the power of this spell would be increased by 30%!"

He practiced magic for an hour. Armed with Medea's "Heaven’s Hammer", he now had the ability to defend himself. The force of the blow could cave-in a person's chest.

He felt satisfied and returned home, only to discover that he had forgotten one thing.

He had forgotten to reopen the small sandbox.

"The second beta test just started, and the service has already been suspended for half a day for maintenance!"

"Hardcore! This game is too hardcore!"

"Burn the F*cking Developer!"

The forum was full of complaints. They were wailing like it was the end of the world.

However, Xu Zhi wasn't sorry at all. It was only one little mistake, and he’d just reopen the game right now.
