Chapter 1389: Chapter 1389 – : It Was Him
“Where is he now? Why haven’t we found any traces of him around here?”
A woman with brown hair among the gods asked.
“Be patient. He can’t use his time-freeze ability anymore. Moreover, we didn’t waste too much time before. He can’t leave this mountain yet.”
“Everyone, I suddenly have a bad feeling.”At this moment, another woman’s voice sounded. Although her words were filled with speculation and uncertainty.., after hearing this, everyone was stunned.
This was because the one who spoke was the god of tarot cards among the new gods. Tarot cards were a kind of divination tool. Their origins were quite mysterious. Although they had experienced the baptism of time, they were still able to endure for a long time. Moreover, they were becoming more and more popular in modern times, many people were obsessed with them, hoping to find out the direction of their studies and love.
This was also the reason why the god of Tarot cards could be born. Therefore, her priesthood also naturally had the attribute of prophecy.
When she opened her mouth, even if it only sounded like a guess, it was enough to arouse everyone’s vigilance.
Therefore, the eyes of the gods focused on a big man. He was wearing a pair of iron boots, a suit of armor, and a broadsword. He looked quite handsome, but he had not said a word before, he was as silent as a stone.
However, this stone-like man was the main force of this manhunt.
The reason was simple. He was the god of the forest, Vidal.
When the evernight goddess was entangled with the Hydra, this mountain was his home ground. Wherever he went, he only needed to ask the local squirrels and rabbits to know if Zhang Heng was here.

However, even now that they were almost out of the mountain, Vidal did not stop them.
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Vidal replied for the first time, “He’s not here.”Then, he fell into silence again.
“We must have missed something,”another god said. “There’s no reason for him to run so fast.”
“I told you we should have split up and searched,”someone complained.
“If we split up, none of us would be his match,”another god immediately replied. “You were the one who gathered everyone back then. If we hadn’t been standing so close, we wouldn’t have fallen into his trap together.”
“Alright, there’s no point in talking about this now,”the god of vegetables said. “The most important thing now is to find the target as soon as possible.”
“I said that we must have missed something…”the god who spoke suddenly paused, and then his eyes lit up, “I know. He had been running in this direction, so he made us think that there was something here. But now that we’ve checked around, there’s nothing here. Could it be that he misled us in the beginning?”
“Then, the question is, where do you think he will go in the other three directions?”Someone asked.
“If I were him, I wouldn’t choose any direction because no matter which direction he runs, he might run into danger.”The God of Bo Cai’s eyes lit up, “This is the simplest probability choice. It’s the safest for him to stay where he is.”
“Stay where he is?”The God of medicine and the pyramid, Imhotep, asked doubtfully. “Isn’t staying where he is a dead end for him? Because if we can’t find him anywhere else, he will come back sooner or later.”
“I don’t know.”The god of botany shrugged, “I’m just guessing the most likely choice from his past actions. It’s also very easy to verify my guess. We just need to go back once more. Anyway, we have this… Oh, this little brother who doesn’t like to talk much by our side. As long as we go back there and let him ask the animals there, everything will be clear.”

The gods didn’t have any objections. Just as they were about to get up and return, the tarot card god suddenly said, “No, I’m not going back.”
“Are you sure?”Medicine and the pyramid’s guardian God, imho, frowned.
“That’s right. I want to stay here for a while longer,”the tarot card god said. “Alone.”
“Alright, but it’s best if you don’t stay too long. After all, you’re alone. If you accidentally bump into him, it’s very likely that you’ll be in danger,”the botany God kindly reminded.
“Thank you, I’ll protect myself, and so will all of you.”
The tarot card god wasn’t particularly skilled in combat, so even if she was missing, it wouldn’t affect the gods’combat power. However, considering the tarot card god’s special ability, even though the gods didn’t say it out loud.., they were indeed feeling a little uneasy.
However, contrary to their expectations, when they returned to the small hill, they didn’t even need the forest god Vidal to communicate with the animals in the mountain, because Zhang Heng was standing under a big tree, he reached out and gently stroked the tree trunk.
The gods quickly scanned their surroundings and realized that there was no one else around. Their worried Hearts finally relaxed. Although there were a few twists and turns along the way, fortunately, the ending was no different from the beginning.
After that, they only needed to kill Zhang Heng to ensure the safety of the world.
However, to his surprise, Zhang Heng still seemed to be immersed in the strange touching of the tree. It was as if he didn’t even see them coming back.
One of the gods felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow at Zhang Heng.
As expected, Zhang Heng did not seem to notice the impending death. It was not until the Golden Arrow flew in front of him and was about to pierce through his neck that Zhang Heng reached out, he easily grabbed the arrow, as if he was reaching out to grab a leaf that was falling from the tree.
Finally, he averted his gaze from the bark. However, the gods present couldn’t help but gasp at his action. A normal person would only have to turn their eyes to look away, however, Zhang Heng’s eyes seemed to have been fixed in their sockets. He turned his head 180 degrees to look at the person who had shot the arrow.
The emotion that flashed through his eyes was not human at all. He only took a glance, and the god who had shot the arrow suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. Then, his skin began to melt and fall off, it turned into a bloody meatball, but the meatball was still alive. One could still hear the constant wails of pain coming from it.
“Be careful!”The God of Bo Cai’s cold sweat had soaked his clothes. His legs were trembling because of fear, and his voice was full of despair. “It’s him, he’s Back!”

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets.

Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.
