Chapter 180: Chapter 179 Look at this Radiant Rainbow Light—!!
The bustling noise spread all around.
Fang Zheng looked up, whistled at the bustling street in front of him, and the crowds that surrounded him.
“Back in the city, huh…”
He muttered to himself, looking around at the high-rise buildings, streets, traffic lights, and people with their smartphones in their hands—yep, modern, Japan, urban setting; at least these three keywords were certain.
Then, this must be from some anime or game.
With that thought, Fang Zheng patted his pocket; like before, when he was teleported to this world, he obtained a new identity. But that was all. No main quests, no hints; unless Fang Zheng figured out which world he was in, it seemed the Dimensional Codex wouldn’t actively issue him any tasks.
“What world is this, exactly?”
Fang Zheng furrowed his brows and looked carefully around, but he couldn’t find any answers. If it’s a modern Japanese urban style, it could range from romance to fantasy or even Yuri. Of course, there’s no shortage of modern fantasy anime, but whether or not he had seen any of them, he didn’t hold out much hope. After all these years of working, he could only catch new episodes if he had the time, otherwise, he’d just skim the news. Unless it were something as distinctive as “Higurashi” that you can’t forget at a glance, then… it was really hard to say.
But… it didn’t matter.
The early Fang Zheng, arriving in an unfamiliar, unknown world might have been nervous and uneasy. But now, after the ordeal in the world of “Higurashi,” Fang Zheng had come to terms with his situation. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, no matter what world it was or whether he had seen it or not; with the power he now possessed, there was nowhere in the vast world he couldn’t go. Even in the face of danger, he could still protect himself.
Forget it, in any case, let’s do a draw first!
Yes, Fang Zheng remembered that this month his top-up card pool featured the “instance UP.” It didn’t matter if he didn’t know which world he was in, wouldn’t a draw from the UP card pool reveal it?
With that thought, Fang Zheng no longer hesitated and quickened his pace to leave.
After a short while, Fang Zheng arrived at a secluded park with sparse foot traffic, as dusk and the setting sun painted the sky. Most people were on their way home from work or school, making the park rather empty. After ensuring there was nothing out of the ordinary around him, Fang Zheng waved his right hand and then opened the Dimensional Codex.
Then, looking at the hovering giant book in front of him, he took a deep breath, and…
“I should take a bath first.”
Recalling the scene when he summoned Malthael, Fang Zheng decisively chickened out.
One should be devout in their beliefs. Praying to the gods and buddhas required cleansing oneself with a bath, changing into fresh clothes, and burning incense. He was about to do a ten-consecutive draw; he had to prepare properly.
With that thought, Fang Zheng decisively changed his plans and headed to his “home” in this world.
In this world, Fang Zheng’s dwelling was an ordinary one-bedroom studio—neither luxurious nor bare, just an everyday apartment for a worker. And the identity Fang Zheng had in this world was similar to his one in the “Higurashi” world, a high school teacher—good thing Fang Zheng hadn’t returned all his knowledge along with his physics and chemistry, otherwise he would surely be in trouble now.
Turning on the lights and looking at the room bathed in its glow, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu. It was as if he had returned to his original world, coming home to rest after a long day’s work. Turning on the TV to watch the news, having a little drink, then making a call for fast food delivery… Of course, the most important thing was, he was always solo.
If only Nymph could come along as well.
This thought flashed through Fang Zheng’s mind, but it was quickly set aside. He shook his head, closed the door, entered the bathroom, and began… to bathe and cleanse himself.
“Divine spirits of heaven and earth, Full Sky of Gods and Buddhas, please let me draw something good this time!”
After bathing and changing, the deep night had already set in. Now clean and in fresh clothes, Fang Zheng stood solemnly in the living room, looking at the floating Dimensional Codex in front of him. He put his hands together in prayer, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes to look at the Codex before him.
Next, he reached out… and pressed Summon.
Following Fang Zheng’s action, ten light orbs instantly appeared, then started to spin rapidly—this was the radiance of a ten-consecutive draw!!
Reinforcement Stone, next one!
Still a Reinforcement Stone, next one!
Energy Stone……Keep going!
One after another, Light Orbs burst open, but they were nothing but Energy Stones or Reinforcement Stones, and when Fang Zheng lowered his hand, only one Light Orb remained before him.
Is my luck really this bad today?
Staring at the last Light Orb before him, Fang Zheng’s face turned dark. He had even made a special trip to buy new shower gel and soap on his way home, and you’re telling me this is the result? This sucks worse than Malthael, at least back then, I got a Little Angel out of it. But this time… you’ve got to be kidding me, right?
Sigh……If all else fails, I’ll just do another ten-draw.
With a helpless sigh, Fang Zheng reached out and touched the last Light Orb.
Quickly, under Fang Zheng’s gaze, the last Light Orb began to spin, expand, and then———it emitted a rainbow Radiance.
“What, what is this!?”
Seeing the rainbow light before him, Fang Zheng was also surprised, his eyes wide open. He certainly knew what this signified. But… no way, could it be that his luck had actually turned?!
As Fang Zheng was lost in his wild thoughts, the Light Orb in front of him “bang” burst open, and then a Soulstone shimmering with rainbow light simply appeared in front of Fang Zheng!
“Hahaha, Fantasy, the strongest Fantasy!! I finally pulled a Fantasy Tier Soulstone, hahaha!!”
Looking at the Soulstone before him that sparkled with rainbow light, Fang Zheng excitedly raised his hands and shouted. It hadn’t been easy, oh, it really hadn’t been easy! After such a long time and so much effort, he finally pulled the strongest Fantasy Tier Soulstone from the Dimensional Codex, and it had truly not been easy. Based on previous summoning patterns in the Codex, this Soulstone had to be Divine Level! With this, he finally had what it took to confront the True Gods of the Main World! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Although he hadn’t originally planned to fight them… being prepared never hurt.
Well then, let’s see what kind of Soulstone this is.
With that thought, Fang Zheng eagerly reached out for the Soulstone.
But to Fang Zheng’s surprise, just as his fingertips touched the Soulstone, a system prompt sounded in his ear, followed by a line of information that quickly floated up before his eyes.
[Awakening Quest Triggered: The Slumbering Soul]

Awakening Elements 0/3]
Looking at the mission prompt before him, Fang Zheng’s smile froze.
Are you freaking kidding me?
