Chapter 1127 - Human Labor (1/2)
A cloud of black shadow was happily flying through the universe.
Its very first goal was to fly to Earth.
In his mind, there should be dead bodies everywhere on Earth right now, so it should be full of Death Energy.
When he thought of the abundant food resources that had been accumulated on Earth, he became very excited and increased his traveling speed.
Sometime later, he had reached the Solar System.
Underneath the blazing light of the enormous sun, there was a shadow hovering about, although it was barely visible.
‘I wonder which Upper Realm being can manage to occupy this sun, which has gathered a trillion years’ worth of faith and incense. If this person succeeded in occupying, he might be able to become a sun god right away,’ the cloud of black shadow thought enviously.
Then, using the sun as a point of reference, it began to search for the whereabouts of Earth.
‘So here’s the eight planets. This one is Mercury, this one is Venus, this one is Mars, this one is Jupiter… Wait, where did Earth go?’
The black shadow stood in the Solar System for a long time, its gaze filled with confusion.
No matter how it looked, it could not find Earth anywhere. As for the Death Energy it had spoken of, none of it could be detected at all.
‘How is this possible? Could it be that Earth has been hidden by that mysterious entity?’
As a former god, he was able to immediately guess the truth. However, he could not understand what kind of a method the other party had used to make an entire planet disappear.
If he were at full power, he would have a few ways of his own as well to hide such a huge natural planet.
However, right now, no matter how he tried to sense its presence, he kept coming back to the conclusion that the other party was nowhere in this universe. In fact, he also knew for sure that it had not hidden itself within some other space.
‘Wait, could it have hidden in that place I was at just now?’ When the black shadow thought of this, it could only leave in frustration.
‘What a foolish guy. What’s the use of saving so many people? His power has already surpassed that of a god, but his heart and mind are still like a mortal’s. Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to save up more power and find a chance for advancement, he’s wasting his power to save all those ignorant morons.’
While the black shadow was thinking of this, it started to fly toward the next inhabited planet it could recall.
…
In the meantime, inside the System Space, Fang Ning was examining an Earth that had been digitized…
It was now an azure-blue sphere with the size of a walnut with countless black-colored digits flashing over it.
“This a most mysterious mystery that’s too wonderful for words. Sir System, the functions you have now are starting to become too complex for my understanding. Tell me, what kind of principles does this follow?” Fang Ning asked curiously as he spun the walnut-sized Earth.
“Honestly speaking, I don’t understand it either,” Sir System admitted.
“Useless. You don’t even understand your own abilities?” Fang Ning scorned.
“Before driving, do you have to know how a car works?” Sir System retorted.
“Well, I know. There’s the internal combustion engine with a four-stroke cycle and transmission mechanism. Isn’t that how it works?” Fang Ning said confidently.
“This isn’t a good example. You can think, but do you know how the brain works?” Sir System asked again.
“This, I’m not quite sure,” Fang Ning yielded.
“Well, that’s it. I only know how to use the functions. As for the underlying programming principles, it’s all Greek to me,” Sir System said.
Fang Ning ignored this fool, and suddenly sighed, full of emotions.
“Indeed, once your power has reached a certain level, all the various problems you’ve faced before are but a passing cloud. You used to fuss over a few hundred thousand to a few billion worth of money. What’s the point of having all that money now? It’s really just a bunch of numbers.”
