Chapter 1035 - Water Faucet (1/2)

Fang Ning had only exchanged a few arguments with Sir System regarding their respective positions before he was quickly stunned into silence by the sight before them.

The countless whirlpools and tornadoes above the ocean had all vanished in an instant.

A bright sun appeared in the sky above, as if it were here to welcome the Supreme One.

Following these changing signs, an immeasurably enormous shadow suddenly appeared in the azure sea waters.

When Fang Ning looked at it more closely, the enormous shadow was, in fact, a dragon’s head.

As the dragon’s head emerged from the surface of the water, Fang Ning saw an even more shocking phenomenon.

The dragon’s head was almost entirely transparent, and all the blood vessels within it could be clearly seen, as if it were truly formed out of water.

Now, this was a ‘Water Faucet’ 1 …

In order to release that loud roar earlier, the Azure Dragon had already returned to its immense size of a thousand feet, yet before the head of this Water Dragon, it was like a human standing at the feet of the Great Pyramid…

“Ugh, it’s so huge. Talking to it will be rather inconvenient,” Sir System muttered.

“Stop talking nonsense and do what you need to do. Think, analyze, deconstruct, and find a shortcut to becoming an Ancient Dragon,” Fang Ning urged.

“Well, that goes without saying. I’m analyzing that already,” Sir System began to nag. “It’s just that it’s so big. It’ll take me a long time to determine anything from it. Get out there and chat with it for a while.”

“Me?” Fang Ning felt rather fearful, but given the situation right now, he had to take up the responsibility. Who else could he pass it on to anyway?

Therefore, he could only go out and take control of the Azure Dragon, trying to strike up a conversation with the enormous Water Faucet in front of him.

“Greetings to you, Honorable Ancient Dragon. I’m a self-made True Dragon from the Lower Realm, and I’ve come here to ask you a few questions. Nowadays, the Upper and Lower Realms have been in frequent conflict with one another, so is there any way to have both realms get along with each other and prevent the situation from worsening?”

Fang Ning could not think of any good topics to talk about off the top of his head, so he resorted to a rather big and abstract topic first.

The Water Faucet widened its eyes and observed the Azure Dragon before it.

After quite a long time, it slowly said, “You actually managed to transform into such a pure-blooded True Dragon relying solely on your own cultivation. You are indeed the Child of Destiny. However, why didn’t your brain evolve along with your bloodline?”

When Fang Ning heard this, he was instantly overwhelmed with amazement. The Ancient Dragon was able to tell that he still had the wisdom of a mortal within that time. That was utterly terrifying!

As he was momentarily at a loss for words, the Water Faucet shook its head and continued to speak, “How could you ask such a foolish question? Life and death, where the new replaces the old, are the natural order of the Heavens and Earth. As the Upper Realm comes to meet its end, the Lower Realm will transform into the new Upper Realm. One will take the place of the other, and the cycle will be repeated. This is a destiny that can neither be changed nor resisted by anyone. How to allow the two realms get along in peace? These words can be spoken by those weak and vulnerable races, but they should never come out of the mouth of a True Dragon who is in charge of protecting the order of the realms.”

‘Uh, sorry, I was just throwing out the first question that entered my mind. I never imagined that, for my fellow ancestral dragon, the peace of the two realms could be such a foolish question…”

Fang Ning became upset that his IQ had been ridiculed to his face. The worse thing was that it had even happened in front of Sir System, making his humiliation much harder to bear.

However, the other party’s words allowed him to relax himself too, for at least these words revealed to him what the general trend of events was.

Nonetheless, he also wondered, ‘Why did this Ancient Dragon not have any thoughts of extending the life of the Upper Realm at all?’

After all, even the Spirit Lords were trying to help the World of Spirits and Souls extend its life. In fact, the saints of the Primary World might also be thinking of going against the inevitable.

In any case, he had to continue this conversation somehow. Sir System still needed time.

He racked his brains for some ideas, and then asked, “I’m sorry for that. I’d like to ask the Supreme Ancient One, in this new Upper Realm of the future, who will take the leading role?”

When the Water Faucet heard his question, there was finally a hint of approval in its eyes.

“Before the first calamity of the new Upper Realm arrives, it’ll naturally be the Dragon Clan who will set the new world order, with the True Dragon Clan taking the lead.” The Water Faucet’s tone of voice carried a trace of an unshakable pride, or to be more accurate, arrogance.

Then, Fang Ning understood why the other party had said those words from before, and how it could so calmly face the decline of the Upper Realm.

It was because the other party had already found its place in the coming new world. It was, in fact, a paramount position.
