If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

Some corpses were in better condition, not much different from charred remains. But some corpses were different. Those who were killed by meteorites or impaled by stone spikes were quite unusual; often, the side facing the ground remained intact, while the side facing the sky, pressed down by charred remains, was completely blackened.

Seeing the soldiers' iron hooks reaching the corpses' eyes, cheeks, or mouths, and even their bellies—some steaming hot, their intestines spilling out—Zong Ze could no longer bear it. He ran away, grabbed a large tree that was also charred but hadn't fallen, and began to vomit violently.

Just then, not far from the large tree, a cloud of charred ash suddenly erupted from the ground. Immediately following, a shrill voice rang out: "Die!"

At the same time, Sun Hua, who had been watching Zong Ze closely, shouted, "Young Master, get out of the way!" and rushed straight towards the burst of charred ashes.

"Bang, bang!" Two loud crashes echoed as Sun Hua rushed forward, and the wisp of ash also reached Zong Ze. Struck hard, Zong Ze was sent flying, hearing the shouts of Sun Hua and his father. At that moment, a thought suddenly surfaced in Zong Ze's mind: "Damn it, I finally succeeded in possessing another body and being reborn, and now I'm going to die again?"

"Do you know what? That genius idiot from the main family has really become an idiot this time!"

"What? You've become an idiot? What do you mean?"

"Haha, you don't know yet? This information came from the Zong family. My cousin's wife's aunt's child's neighbor is a servant of the Zong family, so my information is quite accurate!"

"Tell me quickly! Tell me! How did the young master of the Zong family become an idiot? Isn't it said that although this young master of the Zong family is useless in both magic and martial arts, I've heard that his wisdom is comparable to that of the first saint of the Holy Word Continent, Saint Hai Tian? How could he possibly become an idiot?"

"Haha, it's true that the Zong family was too impatient. Half a month ago, when the Zong family went to wipe out the bandits in the Lanyin Plain, they insisted on taking that young master Zong, who had absolutely no fighting ability, with them. I guess the Zong family thought that wiping out the bandits was a piece of cake and wanted to show their child what it was like! As a result, in the end, the young master Zong was suddenly ambushed by a hidden bandit and almost lost his life!"

"and then?"

"Then the main family brought their young master back, and he survived after treatment. Unfortunately, for some reason, the young master has been awake for ten days, but he still doesn't speak. I heard that even the imperial physicians from the palace went to examine him and confirmed that the young master's injuries had indeed healed, but it is estimated that he suffered severe brain damage and has become a veritable idiot!"

In the past few days, Zong Ze has once again become a "celebrity" in the capital of the Luen Empire! No matter who it is or where it is, the most talked-about topic among people during their leisure time is this young master of the Zong family who has become a true idiot. Of course, the happiest people about Zong Ze becoming a true idiot are none other than those noble young masters of his generation who have been overshadowed by him.

But was Zong Ze really an idiot?

"So that's how it is! That explains why I kept having strange thoughts in my head! It turns out I really am Zongze, but this Zongze is not the same as that Zongze!"

With a loud "smash," in the courtyard of Zong Ze's own residence in the backyard of the Zong family, Zong Ze slammed his fist on the armrest of the wooden chair he was sitting on, startling the maidservant who was taking care of him. Then, Zong Ze stood up and declared loudly, "Since Heaven has truly allowed me, Zong Ze, to live, then I will live a life of great renown!"
