Chapter 1072: Colonization Of Extraterrestrial Planets
Meanwhile, Death was evidently unhappy as he had been proven wrong.
He remarked that the situation was not good, yet the Azure Dragon grew bigger and managed to suppress the star that tried to be funny.
However, he did not show his displeasure. Instead, he commented in a superficial manner. “Every dog has its day. I didn’t expect that mysterious entity had developed powers to suppress the stars so quickly. No wonder, no wonder…”
Halfway through, he did not complete his sentence.
Fang Ning did not mind his remarks. His envy was apparent.
Still, this was normal. Death used to be a god and now, he struggled to survive in the System Hotel.
“Hehe, you’re too kind, but I was just lucky.” Fang Ning gave a fisted salute.
“It wasn’t you who did that. Why are you pretending to be humble?” Sir System queried him.
“How dare you speak to me like that? Be careful, or else I’ll suppress you myself.” Fang Ning replied with a threatening tone.
“Oh, I was wrong, Mr. Rich Boss. This is all due to your might and power.” Sir System immediately switched the subject.
“Fair enough.” Fang Ning felt pleased.
Every single object always had something that could be used against it.
“Sigh, let’s have some tea.” The Culinary God noticed there was nothing interesting going on and remarked as he lifted his teacup.
“Mm, yes, yes.” Death turned himself into his human form and lifted his teacup. His expression was inscrutable as if he was thinking of something.
“This old thing is up to no good…” Fang Ning has just got out of the System Hotel and Sir System reminded him anxiously.
“Duh, you’ve seen it all. Do you think I haven’t seen it? Since when has Death been a docile little bunny? Our relationship is merely based on using each other.” Fang Ning scoffed. “In contrast, the Culinary God still cares about mannerisms and charisma.”
“Then what the heck is he thinking about?” Sir System was perplexed.
“Hmph, what else? What he wants to do the most is to restore his godly status. However, it isn’t easy to do so. Still, I fear that what happened today gave him some ideas.” Fang Ning replied coldly.
“Can you put it in simpler terms? I’ve always been an honest… No, a dumb System. I don’t understand you when you beat around the bush.” Sir System confessed helplessly.
“Hahahaha.” At first, Fang Ning laughed maniacally. He then continued. “Very simple. Have you heard of the saying where the “Northern Bushel Dictates Death”?
“I’ve heard of it before and it’s a legend from your ancestors in China. It’s useless. How is death determined by a few stars?” Sir System was confounded.
“It was the way things worked in the past. Death was a metabolic requirement and a natural phenomenon. Now, however, you just dealt with that star which represented the Azure Dragon’s right horn, and you should be aware of the role of that star in the Milky Way Nets Above Snares Below.” Fang Ning said wryly.
“I’m aware of that. As the Azure Dragon’s left and right horns, they serve as the highest vantage points of the Nets Above Snares Below and they scanned the surrounding areas. Nonetheless, the characteristics of the star mansions in those legends are completely different matters.” Sir System said, feeling confused.
“Of course, after all, that’s based on the viewpoints of our ancestors. Most of their theories are far-fetched and there’re too many inconsistencies, so they can’t be followed exactly. Judging from Death’s perspective, however, he must be intent on becoming the Lord of the Northen Bushel and a dictator of death.” Fang Ning explained.
“Pfft, there’re only seven stars of the Northen Bushel. What can he use them for? The River God of Sky River even wanted to rule the Milky Way. He sounds so shallow.” Sir System commented dismissively.
“Hehe, this is just his first step towards restoring his powers. Since he used to be a mighty god, he would set his sights further. There are so many galaxies in this universe. I fear that his dream is to become the Lord of Death in the superclusters. The Seven Stars of the Northern Bushel is just his starting point.” Fang Ning shook his head. 1
“He can dream on. He can only work for me and it’s impossible for him to go outside.” Sir System did not believe him.
“Yeah, I believe he has thought of this. He must have some way to force you to let him out.” Fang Ning mused.
While the two of them were talking, the Azure Dragon had begun to set up a formation on the First Mansion of the Horn which had quietened down.
The setup of the formation was completed quickly. The First Mansion of the Horn became one of the nodes of the Milky Way Nets Above Snares Below.
After that, the Azure Dragon searched around the star for a while before discovering an extremely cold planet and opened a portal.
Obviously, this planet was not as good as Earth or even Mars. It was located at quite a distance from the First Mansion of the Horn.
