Chapter 1091: Descend Again
Though it was a must to save them, the way to go about it was something that required much thought.
Plus, they could not be doing everything themselves, how tiring would that be…
Master Fang wanted a carefree life as a landlord where he could enjoy the admiring looks of the people, he wanted to have great power and not do evil things. Perhaps do some good deeds occasionally but he definitely would not be a superman-like firefighter.
Superman was like a nanny who had to take care of everything for the Earth but still had things going awry for him; he had to face all sorts of interrogations for having great power and took the blame if things went wrong…
They were spoiled, just like how parents who were overindulgent with their children would never be reciprocated with equal love and respect; similarly, some people would never respect a strong person like Superman.
“Let’s go, let’s go over to Frog baby to investigate on the spot.” Fang Ning instructed.
This time, Sir System obeyed and the Azure Dragon quickly crawled out of the Dragon Cave and flew towards the Divine Monument.
…
Atop the highest rock on Mount Everest stood erect a monument that was over ten meters tall, it was shining golden rays that illuminated its surroundings.
Land within a hundred-mile radius of it became forbidden grounds that mortals could hardly approach.
The point of having it settled here was to put the powers of the Heavenly Axiom to better use. After all, Sir System would not waste his powers in teleporting back and forth to communicate with the Upper Realm.
Of course, the Azure Dragon had no problem entering the area as it quickly landed in front of the Divine Monument.
In the Divine Monument, the silhouette of a frog appeared briefly then its shadow cast down—then it disappeared.
System Space.
The green-skinned frog saw Fang Ning again.
“They used to be able to teleport without any issues, how were those people trapped? Why did the teleportation not work?” Fang Ning asked.
The green-skinned frog blanked out for a while before explaining. “Master, it’s not so for all the small worlds, it’s only happening in the more important worlds where gods reside.”
“I see.” Fang Ning thought for a while and then it struck him. “I got it, that Purple Dragon and White Dragon can’t take advantage of us for free, so let’s pass a message to those deities with their help and say that we’ll temporarily retreat, we won’t harvest the small worlds they inhabit but in return, release our people back to us.”
This was the reason why Fang Ning relented—he wanted to save his people in time and avoid a direct confrontation with the gods.
Sir System, however, said with disdain, “Hmph, you’re such a softie, you always resort to compromise when there are problems, are you still a man with a System? Can’t you be firmer?”
Fang Ning replied helplessly, “From what you’re saying, we don’t have any way to solve this then? There are over ten lives on the line and handpicked talents at that, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
“Ugh, anyway my instincts are telling me that you might be disappointed,” Sir System responded seriously.
“Let’s try it out first.” Fang Ning insisted.
…
The giant maelstrom of the Milky Way.
Having heard the message from the Black Dog, the Purple Dragon and the White Dragon who were working hard on the “Dragon Soul Array Computer” looked at each other and smiled.
The Purple Dragon mocked. “Hmph, hmph, there’s even a day when this fellow would beg us.”
“I guess he still doesn’t understand those deities’ antics,” The White Dragon said apathetically.
“So, should we say yes to this or not?” The Purple Dragon quickly calmed down after venting a little.
“Of course we should agree or else things would get difficult when that fella goes nuts, we are not his opponent after all.” The White Dragon still had some qualms.
“That’s true, it’s not beneficial to cause more trouble at this time. However, we can’t guarantee that he can benefit from this, after all, we can’t keep owing him a favor, we’ll just pass his message on.” The Purple Dragon nodded.
Therefore, the White Dragon turned to the Black Dog who was squatting at a corner and said, “We know what to do about this thing, tell your Master to relax, we’ll pass his message but there’s no guarantee if the gods will actually listen.”
The Black Dog readily agreed and sent the news back.
…
After getting the memo, Fang Ning let out a breath of relief.
Three days later, the Black Dog sent news saying that the Upper Realm intended to send deities down to further discuss the matter, their descending location would be at the center of the Milky Way with both the Purple Dragon and the White Dragon as witnesses to avoid a fight between both parties.
