Chapter 881 - The Wrath of Heaven (1/2)

In the dark starry sky, Gu Buwei rushed forward; Venus was getting closer.

Based on the direction he had positioned, he moved swiftly for some distance and wandered afterwards in outer space. Such repetition allowed him to approach the target gradually.

On average, he moved at least a hundredth of the speed of light. Although he was not fast, it was enough for a journey within the solar system. After all, the distance between the sun and the earth was eight light-minutes, which would be 800 minutes counted in his speed. A dozen or more hours was what needed to run towards the embrace of the sun from the earth…

While moving forward, Gu Buwei suddenly saw a twinkle of light sparkling from afar, approaching fast.

A weight sunk inside him at that moment, ‘Have they come this quickly?’.

Both the grandmaster and himself had underestimated the gods and deities!

He subconsciously pressed a button on his sleeve.

It was a radio wave transmitter that could emit electromagnetic waves of great distance back to earth.

This certainly required a few minutes; hence, he needed to and believed that he could defer whoever was coming to his way. The other party may not understand what he was doing, as he himself did not even understand… He was merely doing what the procedure entailed.

…

In the System Space.

“Eh? Why is this lad, Gu Buwei, asking for help on WeChat? It mentioned that he’s in outer space. Is WeChat so awesome that it can even connect to the Internet in outer space?!” Sir System said, surprised.

Fang Ning was instantly speechless and took the chance to poke fun at him, “Are you stupid? Don’t tell me that you don’t know about the concept of relaying? Outer space definitely doesn’t have Internet, but wireless communication can be carried out. Humans could already communicate with people on the moon long ago. I believe that he probably sent a signal back to earth; a designated receptor then accepted the signal and transmitted the message that was sent to us…”

Sir System finally understood, thanks to Fang Ning’s patient explanation.

“Oh, I see. Do we have to save him then?” Sir asked.

“Of course, he must be saved. We took his reward last time but the matter wasn’t successfully dealt with. To give up halfway will harm our reputation as heroes a great deal. Besides, The Tripartite Monument of the Heavens, the Earth and the Humans isn’t completed yet. The last monument has to be with him. The fellow should not be harmed.” Fang Ning said in a resolved tone.

“I better get going then. This universe sure is troublesome; if the map isn’t opened, only stars can be seen, not the person. Luckily, he hasn’t run too far away or else it’ll be difficult to look for him. What does ‘standing in between Mercury and Venus’ mean… Will you know this place if it’s you?” Sir muttered.

“I definitely won’t know where that is. I can get lost in Qi City even though I’ve lived there for more than a decade. Can you believe it?” said Fang Ning while he shook his head.

“I do. You used to stay indoors every day. It’s weird if you do recognize the roads.” Sir grabbed the chance to return the sarcasm he made earlier.

“Nonsense, I used to go out often, alright? Otherwise, how would I have money to pay for food and rent?” Fang Ning retorted.

A while later, Vigilante A appeared amidst the starry sky; yet what surprised Fang Ning and Sir was that Gu Buwei was not in any sort of danger.

Instead, he was talking to someone familiar.

Someone which everyone knew — Zhi Nan, the Great Demon Saint who had not appeared in a long time.

“Is this fellow trying to cry wolf?” Sir asked miserably.

“He’s not a three-year-old boy, how would he dare to tell us such a lie? He knows very well how precious an opportunity of rescue is. He must have thought the Great Demon Saint wants to kill him, that’s why he immediately notified us. It’s understandable. Since it’s on a universal scale, the transmission of information requires more than ten minutes. He can’t be only informing us after he’s completely certain. If there’s danger, he could have died while waiting for the message being sent to us.” said Fang Ning.
