Chapter 1027 - Sly System (1/2)

3 pm the next day.

30000 meters above the earth.

Amidst the thin air and low temperature, a long Azure Dragon was hovering in the area.

A several hundred-foot tall greenish-purple monument stood erect in front of the Azure Dragon.

The stone monument was radiating rows of huge golden characters.

“Sun-lock Formation of the Five Planets, test commence.”

“First test item: core function test, Power Sealing. Relevant test targets, in position, ready!”

Fang Ning looked outward through the System View and saw that sky darkened almost immediately.

The initially scorching sunlight seemed to be blocked by something.

With the help of the 360-degree wide System View, he looked in the direction of the sun.

The center of the big fireball was shrouded by shadows.

‘Eh, is an annular eclipse taking place now?

‘This isn’t right, solar eclipses occur due to the obscurity of the sun by the moon.’

However, now that the moon was already a mooncake acting as a protective shield for Earth, how could it block out the sun in the sky?

As his train of thought reached this point, Fang Ning stared at the sun seriously and realized that amidst the shadows clouding the sun, there was an extremely deep black spot.

While the black spot was small, a faint blue halo was spreading outwards.

It was exactly this large expanding blue glow that was deflecting the sunlight.

He knew a thing or two about astronomy; while incomparable to the moon and far from Earth, the black drop was able to block out such a big area of sunlight, so this must mean that the area of light it radiated was extraordinarily huge.

“Could this be a magnified version of a transit of Venus?” Fang Ning guessed silently.

However, this was just the start.

Following that, Fang Ning saw another black dot appear on the fireball. It was also radiating a layer of blue light, slowly intersecting with the previous black spot.

With the appearance of the new dark spot, the sunlight dimmed even more.

“This then, should be a transit of Mercury? No, actually, I can no longer differentiate which of these two black spots is Venus or Mercury. This scarcely possible phenomenon of a double planetary transit is happening for the first time!”

Fang Ning was very shocked; he knew clearly that such a spectacular astronomical wonder that could make an astronomer lose his hair was single-handedly manipulated by the Heavenly Axiom!

“Hey, Sir System, you should be more polite to that Heavenly Axiom in the future, we could hardly compare to its capabilities.” Fang Ning said seriously.

“Polite? There’s no such concept in my dictionary, it can’t do what I can either.” Sir System said carelessly.

After the sunlight dimmed, once again, Fang Ning noticed the appearance of three unusual stars in the starry sky above him.

They were different from other stars because they were each emitting a blue glow all-over.

The positions of the three stars were incredibly close to one another, it was almost like they were forcefully arranged into a straight line.

Taking into consideration the previous double planetary transit, Fang Ning was sure that they were the other three planets out of the five planets—Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

These five planets should be aligned with Earth; it was just that from where Fang Ning’s was, it was impossible to see them arranged in a straight line.

If he were to fly into space and observe from afar, he should be able to see the six planets of the solar system adorned in a straight line.

This was completely against nature’s laws of planetary motion. However, in this Era of Mystery, all regularities were being forcefully twisted about…

Not long after that, a new message appeared on the Divine Monument before him.

“Power Sealing commence.”

Fang Ning then felt rays of light being reflected on the Azure Dragon.

“Power limited to Sea-level.”

Fang Ning immediately felt his whole body tense up, it was as if his soul was bound by a rope.

Sir System was now a being at the peak of Ocean-level—he was only a step away from reaching True-God level.

It was just that this step was a hard one to take.

Now that the other party was limiting his power at Sea-level, he could feel it right away.

“This isn’t right, I’m just a Lake-level weak soul, how am I affected too?” Fang Ning was perplexed.

Too bad the green-skinned frog was serving as the Heavenly Axiom’s messenger now—he could not provide an answer to that.

Sir System, on the contrary, said proudly, “Hahahaha, it does not affect me so things would be difficult for you. Unfortunately, that fool has no idea that how strong or weak you are is totally unrelated to me. After all, I merely took over your body, my real power lies within my System Order.”

“Eh, is that so?” Fang Ning felt a looming sense of trouble. Was he the most unlucky one in this situation then?

A fire at the city gates is also a disaster to the fish in the pond; was he the fish in this case?

Had he become the rope in a tug-of-war between two strong forces?
