Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 280: Gate of God

“Hahahahahaha!!! God’s Gate is finally opened!!!”

A crazy and sharp sound suddenly rang out like thunder, echoing endlessly in this empty and mysterious space, making people's eardrums hurt.

Afterwards, the strange dream that had disappeared without a trace suddenly emerged from behind Li Zhi like a ghost.

He was extremely fast, his figure was as fast as lightning, and he ran straight to the empty space behind the bronze gate. His eyes were full of passion and greed, as if that was the place he had been thinking about day and night.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed. Although he didn't know what was going on, it didn't prevent him from realizing that the strange dream was using him to open the door. His purpose was obvious, and his impatient look had already exposed his thoughts.

Li Zhi reacted without any hesitation. He jumped up quickly and stretched out his hand like lightning.

That hand was like a pair of precise pliers, firmly grasping Yi Meng's clothes. Then, he forcibly pulled Yi Meng back.

The ecstatic look on Yi Meng's face suddenly changed, and the distorted expression was instantly filled with anger and unwillingness.

He turned around, waving his fist like a mad beast, and punched Li Zhi in the face with all his strength, shouting in a hurried tone: "Let me go!"

There was a kind of hysterical madness in the voice, as if Li Zhi had blocked his way to heaven.

With a loud "bang", Yi Meng's punch hit Li Zhi's face solidly. However, Li Zhi seemed to be unaware and did not feel any pain at all.

Li Zhi's eyes flickered. Although he didn't know why Yi Meng's punch didn't cause him any pain, this did not prevent Li Zhi from counterattacking Yi Meng.

Li Zhi threw a backhanded punch, which knocked Yi Meng to the ground. The force was so great that Yi Meng's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Yi Meng obviously did not have Li Zhi's magical ability to be immune to pain, and a look of pain instantly appeared on his face.

But his eyes were still burning with desire for what was behind the door. He endured the pain and jumped up immediately.

He knew in his heart that he was no match for Li Zhi, and a head-on confrontation was obviously not a wise move. Therefore, he did not dare to attack Li Zhi rashly as he had just done, but ran straight towards the open door.

Li Zhi could see that there was definitely something extremely tempting to Yi Meng.

There seemed to be something hidden behind the door, emitting a fatal attraction that made Yi Meng want to rush in desperately.

Although Li Zhi didn't know what was causing the trouble, he knew in his heart that he must not let Yi Meng succeed. Once Yi Meng entered the door, it might be disadvantageous to him.

So, Li Zhi stomped his feet hard, and rushed towards Yi Meng like a cannonball.

His speed was extremely fast, and he closed the distance between him and Yi Meng in an instant. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Yi Meng's body. The action was done in one go without any delay.

Then, using the enormous force of his own forward charge, he threw Yi Meng heavily to the ground!

"Bang!" A dull sound like thunder rang out, and Yi Meng was smashed directly to the ground by Li Zhi's powerful and heavy movement. His body hit the ground violently, and he groaned in pain, as if all the bones in his body were about to be broken.

Just as Yi Meng was enduring the pain and struggling to get up, the bronze door actually began to close slowly with Yi Meng's eyes bloodshot.

"bump!"

The door closed completely with a heavy thud.

The closing of the bronze gate cut off the hope in Yi Meng's heart.

Yi Meng seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes were empty and lifeless. His body was trembling slightly, and his face was full of despair and helplessness.

Only then did Li Zhi slowly exhale a breath of foul air. He looked at Yi Meng calmly and said, "Now...can you explain it to me clearly?"

Yi Meng slowly raised his head and looked at Li Zhi with a gloomy face. His eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you have done? You ruined the opportunity to become a god that I have been waiting for for decades!"

His voice became sharp due to anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with resentment and unwillingness towards Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi heard this, he didn't show any guilt at all, but smiled disdainfully. He sneered and said, "That has nothing to do with me!"

"you!"

Yi Meng was immediately furious, and his emotions instantly went out of control. He suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards Li Zhi recklessly like a mad beast.

However, he didn't expect Li Zhi to be faster.

Before Yi Meng had a chance to touch Li Zhi, Li Zhi suddenly stretched out a hand, which was like a pair of pliers, and grabbed Yi Meng's throat accurately and forcefully.

Then, Li Zhi pinched Yi Meng's throat and slowly lifted him up.

Yi Meng's feet left the ground, and his body struggled helplessly in the air. He kicked his legs desperately and waved his hands constantly, trying to break free from Li Zhi's control.

His face was flushed red due to congestion, and his already strange appearance became even more hideous and terrifying. His eyes were bulging as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

After a long time, Li Zhi realized that Yi Meng's struggle was getting weaker and weaker, and his life breath was gradually weakening, so he suddenly let go of his hand.

Yi Meng fell to the ground with a plop, and collapsed like a puddle of mud. He was gasping for air, and his eyes were bloodshot, the result of anger and lack of oxygen, making him look like a demon from hell.

Li Zhi looked at him expressionlessly and said calmly, "Are you calm now? Can you tell me what's going on?"

Yi Meng raised his head tremblingly and glanced at Li Zhi. Thanks to Li Zhi, he had just stepped into the gate of hell. At this moment, he was truly afraid of Li Zhi.

He didn't dare to resist any more and could only nod obediently.

"Tell me, what's going on here, and... who are you?" Li Zhi stared at Yi Meng with a sharp gaze and spoke in a steady and serious voice.

Yi Meng glanced at the closed bronze door, and a trace of regret and resentment flashed in his eyes. His eyes were filled with grief for the lost opportunity and deep hatred for Li Zhi.

He slowly said, "This is the Gate of God. As long as you can enter and leave your name inside, you can become a god! And you don't have to rely on the Investiture of the Gods. You can become a god who is not restricted by the Investiture of the Gods!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Li Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was not very clear about the List of Gods.

His mind quickly searched for memories, and he only remembered that Master Liu once told him that no matter whether it was a monster or a ghost, if it practiced well and accumulated merits, it could be listed as a god.

But at that time, Li Zhi was only thinking about how to become stronger so that he could control his own destiny, so he didn't pay too much attention to these things and didn't ask in depth.

Now that he had heard what the strange dream said, he began to imagine the function of the List of Gods in his mind - it was both a ladder to heaven and a shackle.

If there is energy behind this bronze door that can make people become gods, and it has one less layer of shackles than the List of Gods, then the energy behind it should not be underestimated.

This also made Li Zhi understand why Yi Meng was so excited just now. If this bronze door appeared in the outside world, it would probably set off a huge wave that would subvert the world order.

It would be a catastrophe that would drive countless lives crazy and fight for it, and its impact would be so far-reaching that it is hard to imagine.

Li Zhi was thinking a lot, but his expression did not change at all. He lowered his head, looked at Yi Meng and asked, "Then who are you?"
