"Look at this. Who would have thought, a horde of zombies."

They didn't seem strong, but I needed to be careful. Luckily my power and tec were usable in this tribulation. I still had enough fuel in my artificial arm to last a long time against these zombies. I could replicate some atom bombs if things went hot.

This shit was straight out of a fantasy, finally, the plot thickened. I was tired of this slice of life bullshit. Hehe, the thrill of life and death, was indeed like the sweetest nectar.

While I made up my resolve the zombies became more and more lively. This was my test, I needed to make it through. In this second life, I at last found goal.

In my former life on earth, I never had a goal or passion for anything. I indulged in numerous novels and animes.

Flying through the air on a sword. Heads exploding with just a snort. This was the things I enjoyed reading.

Well, now was not the time for reminiscence. I had to kill a shit load of zombies.

Suddenly one of the zombies screamed, this, in turn, made them walk towards me as if they wanted a piece of my precious ass.

Without hesitation, I pulled the trigger of my minigun and the barrels spun shooting out a sea of lead, while I retreated.

One zombie after another fell, as their heads turned into mince meet spraying black blood and gore.

Luckily for me, these zombies were slow. Just as I thought that a screech emerged from the sea of zombies. One of them jumped over the heads in a maddened fashion. This zombie looked much more dangerous than the rest. It resembled more to a human than a zombie.

A variant?

I ran out of ammunition and tossed the minigun away. The minigun was too inefficient and the variant closed on me really fast.

Good that I had such a cool artificial arm. It contained personal shielding and other measures of defense.

I activated the personal shield and a blue shield coated my body skin tight. Pointing my index finger the tip opened like a hatch and shot out a miniature atom bomb. The atom bomb set its target to the fast-approaching variant.

Boom.

A huge explosion accrued and mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The resulting shock wave hit me and I used it to further escape. Looking back, the variant was no more. The horde of zombies was nowhere to be seen, it seemed like I escaped.

On the direction I was escaping to, I didn't encounter any zombie. I stopped by a river to think of a plan. The dark red water was flowing.

Okay, before the zombies catch up I needed to build me some awesome weaponry. It was good that my left arm had enough fuel remaining to build something good.

But first.

"Computer, Tea, Earl Grey, hot."

A cup of good old Earl Grey materialized. Just when I was about to take a sip, the tea changed.

"What the hell. Why is it turning dark red? Well whatever, maybe it tastes better."

I took a sip. It was...It was.

Buergh.

"What the fuck. It tastes like stale diarrhea, with an aftertaste of rancid ass."

Having my tea time ruined I had mixed emotions. I felt deprived of my ritual, anger and sadness overwhelmed me. When I was watching the horizon with deep emotions, I saw a shadow getting closer and closer.

The shadow was too far away to see clearly.

"Huh, it vanished? Whatever, I need to-"

"Hello, youngster. Such a beautiful day isn't it?"

Now, this was too cool an old man with a white beard stood on the opposite side of the river. His Dao of the beard was vastly superior to mine. I felt ashamed.

With each stroke, my mind shook and a roaring sound appeared in my mind. It was if his beard contained myriad of worlds.

This old man, no, senior was straight out of a xianxia novel. He wore a plain black robe, this told me that he was the real deal. It was a common occurrence that a plain ordinary old man was a hidden expert.

I cupped my hands and bowed expressing my respect and admiration.

"Junior greets senior. Yes, indeed this one thinks that today is very good. Very good indeed. To see a path where there was no one, even if I were to die now, I would have no regrets."

"Hahaha, good, good. You know manners. The last junior that came here was rather unpleasant. But you, too interesting, to form a beard out of the power of the seed. Also looking at you, you must be not past two years of age. This is the first time I saw something so interesting. A two-year-old with a beard, hahaha, too good." His laugh resounded and made the earth shook.

"This one thanks, senior."

"Look up, you don't need to be so polite to me."

I looked up and could see the senior with a cordial smile.

"Than excuse me for being shameless. I don't usually kiss ass, but when its due I won't hesitate."

He nodded a few times with approval.

"I'm Thorus, the most profound man, after you of course. Senior's name is?"

A slight smile was visible on the senior's face.

He flicked his beard and said.

"I'm Chao Mo, Patriarch of the Mo clan." Chao Mo introduced himself and stepped over the river arriving beside me.

I looked up to him and indeed he was a person worth respecting.

"Mo clan? It must be a strong clan if you are the patriarch."

Chao Mo sighed.

"I'm not so sure since I'm stuck in the God Slaying Dark Seed. Aiya, it was too lonely all these years, you are the second person to appear. The last guy was also such a joy kill, what was his name again? Ah right, it was Gomez."

God Annihilating Dark Seed? Was he talking about the seed of hatred? I'm sure he did, but why did his version sound much cooler.

Also, Gomez, that was the previous owner of the seed. The guy that killed thousands of gods in ancient time. God Slaying Dark Seed, what a fitting name it was.

"I know God Slaying Dark Seed as the Seed of Hatred."

"Pah, that's what these Gods call it, they have no sense of style. Listen, there is no shame in using dark arts. But these gods really like to play righteous, even though they are the most hypocritical shits. If could get out of this seed then I would teach them a lesson.

Hahaha, they think they are the only one on the apex of power and might, yet got killed like chickens by Gomez. They were too proud to act against him with all their force from the beginning and gave Gomez time to get stronger. They had eyes yet failed to see Mt.Tai."

The disgust towards the gods was evident in Chao Mo's voice, he even mocked them for their arrogance.

Mt.Tai wait, could this be?

"Senior Mo, are you by chance from the Immortal realm?"

A great change appeared on Chao Mo, his eyes went wide as he looked with disbelief.

"How... How do you know, it should be nearly impossible to know of the Immortal Realm. It doesn't make sense for you to know about this secret since you are from the world of gods. The gods made sure that this secrete never leaked, yet you know of it."

I couldn't help but smile. Indeed, I never learned this secret from a god, I knew of Immortals from xianxia novels.

My hope was to find traces of the Immortal realm, but I knew that it was just wishful thinking. What were the chances? When I was reincarnated into a world were they used magic instead of qi, I thought it was just fantasy to fly on swords and snort to make heads explode.

But now, an old man mentioned the Immortal Realm. This was too good to be true. Was there finally the chance to become a real ancestor? Not a fake one.
