Chapter 838 - Retreat (2/2)

“Ah, you still remember that…” Fang Ning nearly forgot about the whole thing. How long had Chen Tianxiao been away from his reports?

Did he scoot after getting a bottle of his pills?

That rascal’s got some nerves!

After witnessing the ways of an irrepressible hero, Fang Ning instinctively got influenced.

He told Sir System at once. “Afterwards, you activate that golden fillet on Chen Tianxiao’s head to jolt his memory.”

“Mm, definitely. That geezer must have some goodies to be so defiant.” Sir System agreed wholeheartedly.

“No wonder you remember this matter so well…” Fang Ning exclaimed.

“Cut the crap, you should emulate others. You’re so lucky to have an otherworldly, omniscient System like me, yet you often walk on eggshells and lack guts. It’s very unheroic of you to be so timid when doing important missions, but easily waylaid by a bit of rewards… You’re much worse than others.” Sir System criticized him.

“What do you know? Safety comes first. With his behavior, Shang Qingshan has to be careful, or else he’ll die a premature death.” Fang Ning cautioned.

Meanwhile, the dark figure shook his head and emitted a bloodcurdling laugh. “Hmph, some guts you have! I’ve already seized this realm’s path to becoming a god, so how could I be worried about this? How powerful are you to stop me from reaching illumination again?”

“Hahaha!” The face on the mountain peak let out a hysterical laugh. “You don’t know your place. Insolent malevolent gods like you have no place in this realm’s Heavenly Axiom! You still think of becoming a god? Forget it, if you want the Heavenly Axiom’s blessing, you’ll have to wait until the end of the world!”

A look of uncertainty appeared on the dark figure’s face. This was the main reason why he assisted the Moon Goddess in attacking the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom.

The question was, how did this old man know about his plan?

He seemed to know everything under the sun without stepping out of his residence.

He recalled a rumor. The Grandmaster of the Azure Mountain possessed the ability of “Precognitive Divination”. Ever since he completed his training, his endeavors were smooth-sailing and he never faced any obstructions.

Until today, he managed to secure the Lunaette.

He knew there was more to the Lunaette than met the eye. It was neither a mere piece of land nor was it a shield of the Heavenly Axiom, but it was related to a long-term plan of the saints.

Currently, Shang Qingshan used his close proximity to the arcane realm to his advantage and seized this place. No one else had a chance of taking over this area.

He thought of this and whispered to his companion. “I think we’ve to let today’s matter slide for now. This old man has a heart of stone. He’s not one of those soft-hearted types like Vigilante A, so threats won’t work on him. We can only retreat for now. We shall reconsider our plans after we have finished attacking this realm’s Heavenly Axiom.”

“Fine, let him be. One day, I shall smite him.” The Moon Goddess’ tone was harsh and cold.

Normally, she would not get angry, but this time, the Grandmaster’s decision threatened her hope of reaching illumination.

If she failed to reach illumination again, she would be no different from a regular cultivator, and neither would she live a long and peaceful life.

When her most basic interest was under threat, she was incapable of controlling her anger, no matter how refined she was.

The gods were always like that. They still had mood swings despite their high and mighty positions.

It was not that they were unable to get rid of this trait, but retaining mood swings were beneficial to longevity as it worked as an inner driving force.

After both gods ended their discussion, the dark figure rushed towards the mountain peak and chuckled menacingly. “Since you’re reluctant to give in, we shall rely on our own abilities. Remember this, the disease will drive humans insane after some time.”

The two gods left after giving this unimportant remark.

“Too bad, they didn’t start a fight.” Sir System commented sheepishly.

“You sure love to watch the world burn, but I agree it’s a shame. Those two gods can’t do anything about Shang Qingshan.” Fang Ning added dejectedly.

“Forget it, you pay him a visit afterward and ask him about those two gods’ keys to reaching illumination. I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to share it with us.” Sir System said happily.

“Hehe, I believe so, too. When you encounter a situation like this that’s full of benefits, Sir, you become very intelligent.” Fang Ning expressed his agreement.

“Hehe, you do understand me.”

“Of course, I’ve been seized by you for several years anyway.”
