Chapter 298 - You Can’t Eat Fish Anymore (2/2)
Fang Ning instantly raised its hand to signal the Dragon Carp to stop. He knew that it loved to blow its own trumpet, so he let the innocent great green insect speak first.
Seeing this, the Dragon Carp bitterly fell back to its tank, feeling slightly listless.
The great green insect glanced at the Dragon Carp and thought gleefully, ‘As long as I perform well, the Great Azure Dragon would definitely feed its tail to me as a reward…
‘Right, the Great Azure Dragon is too soft-hearted. I need to tell him, those with dragon ancestry all have very strong regenerative abilities. It’s no big deal if a tail is eaten. It can just grow another…’
For some reason, the Dragon Carp felt a sudden chill. It hurriedly retreated into the sand to hide.
Everyone’s attention immediately focused on the great green insect.
In an instant, this palm-sized creature seemed to have become the key to determining the fate of mankind…
However, no one knew that it had no intention of saving mankind. All it wanted was to eat the tail of a certain fish…
Fang Ning was very pleased, “Hm, just speak. As long as it helps, I’ll treat you to a big meal.”
The great green insect was so happy flowers sprouted out of its eyes. It immediately said, “Long, long ago, I remember following my father out to inspect the vassal state of our Celestial Clan. A local leader said that Heaven was angry, and so repeatedly flooded their farmland with water. They built a dam but could not stop it at all, so they asked my father to help quell the disaster.
“Father patrolled and found out that they were overpopulated. They turned many mountains and grasslands into farmland. He told them to work diligently and increase their yields, and do a good job in internal food distribution. Don’t let anyone eat too much, because there are still people who were hungry… Oh, was he talking about me?”
Fang Ning was speechless, and appeased, “Don’t worry, you’re thinking too much. Your father is the Clan Leader of the Celestial Clan. He won’t be that stingy. Just carry on.”
Daqing was reassured, “Finally, father told them not to expand blindly. He told them to plant more trees and grass, and restore the damaged mountains and grasslands. Ever since, there really have been no more unstoppable floods.”
After hearing his, Fang Ning pondered.
The others looked solemn, silently thinking.
Cang Gongzi nodded and agreed, taking the lead and echoing, “What this daughter of the Celestial Clan said isn’t bad. I’ve also heard a similar story. When that person arrived on Earth, he also worked on farming, controlling the rat population, and handled sustainable developments. This was precisely what he knew.”
Everyone knew who it was referring to. With that verification, there was no room left for doubt. The information provided by the great green insect was definitely reliable.
After a long while, Ren Ruofeng took the lead and said, “It seems the Heavenly Axiom is warning us in advance. In the past, there was no extraordinary Axiom that existed. There were only the cold laws of nature. Every time, it’s the humans who court their own death after touching the laws of nature, and caused all sorts of natural disasters that cannot be resisted.
“Take for example the disappearance of Loulan Kingdom, and Black Sunday, which occurred in the USA. They were all caused by excessive destruction of vegetation. Humans were completely helpless, and could only wait for the natural disaster to subside, and then try to remedy it afterward. We have long been doing all kinds of work, but there are many powerless people who are ignorant and do not know how to control themselves.” 2
Fang Ning nodded, “Mr. Ren is right. The self-will of the Heavenly Axiom will give us flood warnings ahead of time. It won’t wait until the destruction of vegetation is beyond remedy. Now that it is using this method, what is it trying to warn us in advance of?”
Everyone immediately felt their heads hurt.
This question was not easy to answer. Were they supposed to return farmland back to forests, and no longer destroy vegetation?
In fact, many countries already knew about this matter, and there are many responsible people who are already working hard on it, but even now, there were still many others who were…
The Dragon Carp immediately jumped out and said excitedly, “I know what the Heavens are trying to warn humans about.”
Everyone’s attention instantly snapped towards the Dragon Carp, their expressions all surprised.
The Yellow Dog Xue Ba said sourly, “Geez, the one who watched the gates of the Dragon Clan is really well informed. However, the situation now is urgent. Stop being suspenseful and just say it…”
The Dragon Carp completely ignored the other’s jab and said triumphantly, “It’s because the humans here are insatiable. They’ve almost fished out all the fish in the sea. When I went to the sea earlier to investigate, a few Giant Shrimps and Giant Fish that gained sapience told me that they can’t let their clan members be so stupid in the future. They keep running to the same few places every year.
“In the future, they want to be self-reliant and open up new breeding grounds. They can’t be found by human fishermen ever again and let their nests be captured. Heaven is obviously warning humans to stay away and control themselves. You can’t eat fish anymore, or else it’ll send huge waves to punish you…”
The Dragon Carp’s words, in the beginning, were very reasonable. Everyone deeply believed and agreed with it.
If it did not ruin everything by adding that last sentence, everyone might have believed his words to be true.
Ren Ruofeng was preparing to suggest a short-term fishing ban to the Truth Department and observe the situation first. However, the moment he heard the last sentence, he instantly understood.
Well, this bastard was definitely bragging again.
He drank with it every day, how would he not know about this?
The great green insect was very dissatisfied at its words. It planted its forelimbs on its waist retorted, “Nonsense. It’s only natural to eat fish. How could the Heavens punish us for that? What the Heavens is obviously trying to say is that there is something dangerous in the sea, so we should stay far away from the sea.”
Ren Ruofeng frowned, thought a little, and then his face contorted in horror.
He subconsciously looked towards the Venerable Dragon God but saw that he was still expressionless.
He did not know if the Dragon God had also thought of that frightening possibility. If he was right, then this could really be an unstoppable disaster…
