Chapter 51 Change

The next morning was really quite. That was mainly because of the fact that all inhabitants of Zes’s mansion were still sleeping as the night life was dominated by two greedy men that were unceasingly thirsting for pleasure. It was only after the sun was almost at its highest point that life came into the mansion. The servants quickly changed their clothes and began to clean the mess which showed just how lively the night was for them.

Zes on the other hand decided to go into the city as right now he was unable to cultivate qi and there was no need for him to be tense as there was not any danger in sight. He picked up the girls that had already washed themselves and Maaran that was complaining about a pain in his hip and refusing to come with them as he wanted to rest for the day.

In the end Zes forcibly pulled him out of the mansion and together they went to the market. Of course, every inhabitant immediately recognized him and payed their respect to him while also gifting him presents to express their loyalty. In the end, many demons were still wary of Zes as he was a human and an immortal at that. For him to forgive them, they would rather gift him too much than to risk for him to change his mind.

Like this, Zes’s group was strolling through the market and buying things they took a liking to. For example Reis found a bracelet. The bracelet was made out of fine jade that was crafted into small stones with nice patters on them. Les and Zoe found themselves a pair of clothes which they both really liked and Zes also bought it for them. They immediately changed into it and also matched their hair style to each other. In the end, Zes had to use his divine sense to discern which one was Les and which Zoe.

As for Pinia, in opposite of Zes worries she did not request anything strange. The item she wanted was a piece of cloth with beautiful patterns on it. The strange thing was that even Zes was not able to clearly visualize the patterns, it was as he couldn't keep it inside of his mind, making every time he looked at them a strange experience.

Maaran did not want anything at the marked but later on he asked Zes if he could get him a house to live in as he thought it was inadequate for a grown man with some power to live in a mansion of another person. Zes promised him to speak with Gay later when they would go to the quarters that were prepared for the humans that were going to arrive today.

A few hours later they finally finished their shopping and went to said quarters as Gay had contacted Zes using divine sense and informed him that the humans had already arrived in Bluedragon city.

The place that was built for the humans could be considered a whole district of Bluedragon city. It consisted of about a hundred buildings of different sizes. There were multi-storey buildings meant for three or four families but also mansions, simple houses, libraries and other public facilities. In the center of this "district" was a big square. Right now it was filled with a few hundred people that could be differentiated into three groups. There was one big group consisting of humans that were exited but also a bit confused of the situation.

They had already been informed of what had happened and that from now on humans were of equal standing as the demons. But they have been used as slaves or pets for a full decade and many of them had never even witnessed another life than the one right now as they were born in the last 10 years and always were treated as inferior life forms that were traded between the demons and had the same standing as some animals that could be caught and killed at any point.

Because of this, they were still weary as they couldn't really believe in this new freedom they had received because of some immortal that claimed to be a human but had powers exceeding most demons.

The second group consisted out of Gay and the Bluedragon clan. They were coordinating the whole process of assigning the houses to the humans and were the busiest down there.

As for the last group, Zes had no idea who they were. It consisted out of eleven elegantly clothed men and a woman having different ages.

Zes and his group arrived at the square and immediately were received by Gay and the Bluedragon clan.

"Zes, we have already prepared all the houses and distributed them to the people. We are only waiting for you to speak a bit to them as in the end we are still demons and they do not really trust our words despite seeing all this."

Zes thankfully looked to Gay and nodded but then questioningly glared to the group of unknown people standing on the side. Gay saw the glare and understood Zes intention. Using divine sense he explained Zes.

"I don't really know who they are but apparently they were send by the Kun clan to guard the humans as they were brought here. Still, something is strange about them as I cannot remember any of their faces despite all of them being deity stage and certainly having high positions."

Zes frowned upon Gays words. Deity stage experts were still rare in the Cers kingdom and the Kun clan itself only had eight deities. Of course there are other bigger factions in the Kingdom also having a deity or two but even so there was no way the Kun clan would be able to move 12 of them at once just to move the humans over.

Despite that Zes kept up his smiling expression and slowly walked to this strange group closely followed by the girls and Maaran, which were also feeling something to be amiss.

"I thank you for safely bringing these humans here but I cannot help but ask who I have the pleasure to meet."

Zes politely started the conversion. A man stepped forward to represent the group. He had short blue hair and appeared to be in his twenties. Of course, since he was deity stage, he could also be a few thousand years old but from his outer appearance he was no older than 26.

"There is no need to thank us, we have only followed our orders. As for who we are, I'm afraid I cannot tell you."

Zes smile grew somehow weird.

"Oh, and why is that?"

His eyes scanned the group as he suddenly discovered a person that was not deity stage. In fact, he wasn't even corestage but only peak gathererstage. But the important thing was that he was able to recognize this person. He had never really met this person as he did not concern himself with someone of such a weak cultivation but after all he was a cultivator and at that cultivated his soul realm resulting in his memory becoming comparable to any supercomputer of the human era.

Because of this he could remember that this old man resembling a crossbreed of a frog and a zombie was the owner of the shop where he had freed Reis from the pet hunter.

As Zes looked at the man in shock, the old man also realized that he had discovered him. A cruel grin appeared in his eyes as a tear appeared in his eyes.

"So you haven't forgotten about me hmm? Now… I get revenge for you my boy."

Suddenly the ugly old man’s figure blurred and he shot forward. Of course someone of the gathererstage was no treat to Zes that was able to easily teleport himself but due to the shock Zes reacted too late and the old man was already before him. In fact even now, Zes could just smash him like a fly since the difference in cultivation was just too big. But something told Zes that this man was not as easy as he appeared. Because of this he used his movement technique and flashed to the side evading the ugly old man.

But even though Zes had dodged the old man, the latter did not change his direction. He even increased his speed and went on. Only then Zes realized that he wasn't the man’s goal. The person he shoot towards was Reis!

Surprise could be seem in Reis eyes as she did not expect the old man to target her. But then she focused and calmed down. After all she was a late nascent stage cultivator and normally a gatherer stage lowlife couldn't even dream about harming her at all. Too late she noticed that something was amiss.

The old man was already right before her. Suddenly his body changed and symbols appeared at his body. His face became red and he muttered.

"Die you bitch!"

A huge explosion shook the whole square. Zes quickly formed a formation that protected the humans standing in their group and then looked at the place where the explosion took place. The whole ground was blown apart and rubbles of the stones were scattered over the whole place. In the middle of the crater caused by the explosion was only one body, the clothes on it were ragged and blood was streaming out of the wounds that covered the whole body.

Zes immediately appeared next to it only to see that it was Reis body. Blood was flowing in streams and made a pool of blood with Reis lying in the middle of it.

Blankly Zes was staring at her. He clearly felt that Reis was dead as he couldn't detect Reis aura using his divine sense. But he couldn't really believe it.

Reis had been the first person Zes had contact to after having trained in seclusion for 10 years. Out of all the people he had met, she was without doubt the most important to him. Since she had also suffered under the demons and her race had a similar history as human kind. He also felt that she was the one that understood him the most making her even more important for him than the other girls.

But now she was dead. Just dead. Killed by a mere gathererstage insect.

Before he could think any further, he felt ripples in the space and saw the blue haired man that had represented the group was closing onto him. At the same time the other people in his group started attacking the Bluedragon clan’s faction and the formation surrounding and protecting the humans.

Suddenly powerful auras shoot towards Bluedragon city and wanted to cross the formation protecting it. The auras were all familiar to Zes as they belonged to the elders of the Kun clan that had followed their former patriarch to attack the city back then. Right now all of the 8 elders of the Kun clan had their formation activated and shoot towards the formation with the coiling Bluedragon.

Zes immediately understood what was going on. In the moment he realized it, something broke within him. Until now he never wanted to really kill anyone. He only killed for revenge and only when he couldn't endure it anymore. That was because he still did not want to lose the last bit of morals he had when he was a normal human living in a normal city.

But now he finally understood. Demons and humans were quite similar. Both were greedy and … both were excellent liars.

Zes casted his gaze to Reis death body that was lying on the ground. Slowly his mind changed. Emotions appeared and disappeared. Others merged and created new. In a few nanoseconds Zes entire being had changed completely.

The blue haired man was smiling, their plan had played out perfectly. They had first found a lunatic that would kill that Jerna clan woman to give that stupid human a mental shock. After that they would attack with all forces making him unable to collect his thoughts and get a clear mind. Now he only had to kill him and the other deities would take care of the rest.

His smile only became wider as he thought of the rewards he would get for completing this mission. After all the Kun clan had accumulated quite a few treasures and they had promised them quite a bit in exchange for their help.

It was in this moment that he noticed he fucked up. Suddenly it was as if the world itself stopped moving. Everything was standing still. Everyone fighting, everyone that was strolling through the streets of Bluedragon city without knowing what was going on. And not only in Bluedragon city. The whole globe was standing still.

The blue haired man only managed to glance towards Zes.

It was as if he was looking at the Emperor of Hell. The aura surrounding Zes was suffocating and freezing even more than in the fight against the Kun clan patriarch. In fact it was only Zes aura causing the world to freeze. He himself did not intend to do it and there was no usage of the dao of time involved in it.

As the world was standing still, Zes cultivation base suddenly started to climb up. Early immortal stage, middle immortal stage, later immortal stage the breakthrough to early deity stage climbing even higher. Middle deity stage, later deity stage reaching peak deity stage and breaking into the deity exceeding stage. Even then it did not stop but still surged. It soon surpassed the stage the Kun patriarch was in and climbed even further. Finally it stopped at a height that has been unseen in the whole cultivation world. That was because by now he had reached a stage that would usually only be reached when having passed the tribulation.

In that moment clouds started to gather in the sky and concentrated right over Zes. Thunder growled and small black lightnings coiled threw the sky. Zes looked up and ridicule could be seen in his cold and bloodthirsty expression. He looked like some maniac, a battle crazy psychopath that was going to destroy anything on his path.

"SCREW OFF!"

Zes yelled into the sky and made a wave with his hand. The qi around him started to gather and slammed into the tribulation clouds causing them to dissolve and show the clear blue sky. Shock was in the expressions of all people, especially the ones that knew Zes. It was as if Zes had completely disappeared and replaced by a wall of bloodthirsty and freezing coldness.

The blue haired man that had attempted to kill Zes had long since gone mad. How the hell is this possible? This shitty immortal has gotten this overpowered!

Finally the freezing ended and the earth once again began to turn. Zes took a step towards the blue haired man and the aura around him immediately froze the latter. Even his soul had been frozen and shattered apart. After that Zes looked at the man and woman that had just attacked the Bluedragon clan troops and the formation shielding the humans.

As his gaze fell upon them they started to uncontrollable shake, fear filling their minds and slowly corroding them from inside.

"Die"

This single word muttered by Zes immediately destroyed their souls only dead bodies fell to the ground to never move again. The Kun clan elders that had just charged through the formation also saw this sight making them scared to the point of peeing their pants. They just wanted to charge back out of the formation and flee as far as they could but the blue dragon coiling in the formation suddenly charged towards them.

The dragon has changed. It wasn't illusionary now, the dragon now was completely real. Before the elders could even react it had already reached them. The blood was falling like rain and covering the streets with blood.

Next, Zes suddenly disappeared only to appear hundred kilometers away at the capital of Cers kingdom. Zes darkly looked down on the city with its hundreds of inhabitants. Then he once again waved his hand. Dust rose into the air and as it dissolved, there was nothing left from this grand city.
