Chapter 1071: Big Guy

The boundless Milky Way was actually a massive maelstrom. Earth was situated on its third spiral arm.

At the same time, a giant dragon departed from this area and headed towards somewhere within the Milky Way.

“Mr. Rich Boss, don’t you think it’s weird that in this core that formed the Nets Above Snares Below, the Twenty-Eight Mansions in the sky happened to be located in the Milky Way.” Sir System asked, feeling suspicious.

“Look at you, are you insane? Lemme ask you, where did these Twenty-Eight Mansions 1 come from?” Fang Ning scoffed.

“Of course they came from your Chinese mythology.” Sir System asserted.

“Wrong. Legend says that they were passed down from our ancestors. When our ancestors observed the celestial events, in order to separate the stars in the sky, they decided to come up with star mansions. The observation skills of our ancestors were low, so it was natural that the closer the stars were, the better they could observe them. Stars that could be seen by the naked eye were located within the Milky Way. Whereas, stars from other galaxies could not be seen at all…” Fang Ning explained.

“Oh, in this case, this Milky Way Nets Above Snares Below does sound rather profound. It has an ancient flavor to it.” Sir System mused.

“Mm, if you say so, I do feel the same way too. It’s profound indeed, as if somehow, everything is preordained. The appearance of the Milky Way Nets Above Snares Below seems to be fated. In ancient times, when our naive ancestors divided the star mansions, they had never thought that these stars which are located so far away from them would one day determine the fate of their descendants.” Fang Ning sighed.

As they chatted, they have arrived at their first destination — the First Mansion of the Horn.

The Mansion of the Horn, one of the mansions of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, was made up of two stars, the First Mansion of the Horn and the Second Mansion of the Horn which represented the Azure Dragon’s right horn and left horn respectively.

The First Mansion of the Horn was located 249.74 light-years away from Earth and it was a magnitude 1 star. It was the seventeenth brightest star and exceptionally luminous.

On the other hand, the Second Mansion of the Horn was located 73 light-years away from Earth and it was a magnitude 3 star. It was not as bright compared to its elder brother.

To Fang Ning, this was the reason why it was numbered as the second mansion by his ancestors. Although it was nearer to Earth, it was useless for it was not bright enough.

Thus, he behaved in a tacky manner and followed the order. Anyway, to the present System, the distance of a few hundred light-years was something that it could easily cover.

When he saw the giant sun in front of him, Fang Ning let out a sigh and remembered the method of setting up the Nets Above Snares Below which he learned earlier.

Each star mansion was a star.

In order to let a star fully become a star mansion, it was be provided with offerings of incense.

Earth was so far away. Even if there were offerings of incense, by the time they reached their destination their value would be only a quarter of its original. At most, it would make this star slightly different from the other stars.

It was only with sufficient incense that it could let this ancient star undergo sublimation and a mysterious transformation in order for it to live up to the name of a star mansion. Then, it could proceed to work with the Nets Above Snares Below Formation and become one of the transformation hubs in the Formation.

Or else, everything would be baseless.

Fang Ning pondered for a while and said to Sir System, “Dumb System, take a look with my Khorium Ore Spirit Gaze. How does the First Mansion of the Horn differ from the other nearby stars?”

System Notification: [The System has activated the Esoteric Skill “Spirit Gaze” and is observing the stars ahead.]

“Eh…” Fang Ning noticed the appearance of a bright, radiant white light before his eyes. A long horn vaguely materialized within the white light.

“Fascinating.” Fang Ning witnessed the unfolding of this scene and felt that there was still hope in establishing this Milky Way Nets Above Snares Below.

Although it was shallow, this star shared a deep and profound relationship with Earth. One could see from the horn just now that it had the qualifications to become the right horn of the Azure Dragon.

On the contrary, other stars only displayed normal celestial events instead of such bizarre occurrences.

“Alright, Sir System, let’s go have a look and see whether there is a more appropriate planet.” Fang Ning instructed.

The Azure Dragon swayed its body and was about to depart from this star.

All of a sudden, light began to pulse and dazzle within the star of the First Mansion of the Horn.

Fang Ning heard a strange song of the dragon.

After that, darkness embraced him and the nearby star burned to a cinder within the blink of an eye.

Despite the darkness in outer space, the Azure Dragon was not far from the star, which was the original source of bright light.

“What the f*ck, what’s the meaning of this?!” Fang Ning exclaimed and scrambled back into the System Space at the same time. He entered the System Hotel.

Meanwhile, the two gods were having tea in the hotel.
