Chapter 1026 - Food Crisis (1/2)

“This isn’t happening,” Sir System suddenly hollered, “The Power Limit existed before me. Why is there a need to seal it again?”

“Once upon a time, the Order of Time and Space leaned towards the mysterious side, which brought about the existence of Power Limit and it was, still is, prone to shifting,” The green-skinned frog expounded before Fang Ning could, “At present the Order has moved towards allowing a True-God-level to exist. Under such circumstances, the Sun-lock Formation of the Five Planets is intended by Axiom Daddy to instakill True-God-levels who have the power to wink stars out of existence. This serves as a flexible defense mechanism which could ward off mighty beings that intend to obliterate civilized planets within enchanted boundaries.”

Fang Ning nodded as the frog went. The latter’s elaboration matched his deduction, hence easily agreeable.

He might have erred in his inference before, but he was close to the bone. In fact, the fog of mystery had cleared up that there were very few stones that were yet unturned.

The only concern, however, was whether he could quickly acclimate to this new condition.

“They could’ve come up with something much better than Sun-lock Formation of whatever it is,” Sir System sneered, “Something like Nine Heavens Ten Earths Eight Deserts and Six Harmonies…”

The green-skinned frog went speechless for a moment, and continued, “Axiom Daddy mentioned that he picked a name from the database at random. There were no special meanings attached whatsoever.”

“Whatever. At least that sack of meatball who calls himself Heavenly Axiom contributed something to society. However, this doesn’t change the fact that he is an unscrupulous little twerp and a disowned copycat Batman villain who dared not to show the other…” Sir System was then interrupted by Fang Ning before the former could finish.

“Thank you, Lil’ Frog. We can leave it at that,” Fang Ning said, stopping the obtuse Sir System from sabotaging his relations with Heavenly Axiom which he still wished to maintain.

Heavenly Axiom was not a benevolent figure. Like ruthless monarchs in feudal societies, he was a necessary evil to bring order and peace to dependent country-dwellers.

Fang Ning was educated, he knew who the real enemies were.

The main adversaries for the nonce were rebellious Gods from the Upper Realm who planned to bring mischief upon the land, including those who achieved the Saint Realm.

Their subterfuge and strategic planning helped humans to discover the technology of Vitality Transformation, which provided a base for them to seize vitality from the Lower Realm.

Fang Ning was not convinced that humans could discover and utilize such a remarkable scientific breakthrough in only a few decades.

It seemed to him that humans took the bait thrown by the Gods to keep the Upper Realm in one piece.

The conquests started by those who descended upon this realm were despised as invaders, yet they were not the main threat at this stage.

Take Zhi Nan as an example. He was callous and malevolent, but he desired to call himself a Saint in this world. This aligned his interests with the interests of this realm. The technique to cause a star to become dormant was designed to protect this world.

The qualities of good and evil were irrelevant, his choice of allies was based on ideological leanings.

Such considerations would never be taken into account by the bovine Sir System, neither would he ever learn to do so.

“Alright then, master. I will head back and crash out for now,” The green-skinned frog nodded.

“Sleep tight, we need you tomorrow,” Fang Ning nodded in agreement.

The green-skinned frog morphed into the Divine Monument and squeezed into the forge for a sojourn.

“Among the Divine, Earthly, and Mortal Monuments we have two. I wonder where the last one is,” Sir System suddenly asked.

“I guess we’ll have to twiddle our thumbs until the Sun-lock Formation is tested. That way we’ll earn the privilege to ask the Heavenly Axiom himself. Currently, our soured relationship with him will not get us anywhere,” Fang Ning gave a perfunctory response.

“Do I look like I give a sh*t about the Formation? One hit from me and it will be down in no time, that’ll show him!” Sir System gushed.
