Chapter 520 (2/2)

Hao Ren’s expression was as clue as a dim bulb. “Peregrinating the world? Do you need to go to Africa and become a tribal chief, chiselling in the Antarctic, and go to India to… what the heck? It seems the one who goes to India is the most normal one.”

“Peregrinating around the world would of course include going through all the hardships and obstacles in this world.” Big Beardy had no clue why Hao Ren was so surprised. “How can faith be strengthened without challenging one’s survival limit?”

Hao Ren was speechless and practically took a long time to come up with a question. “Wait a second…. How did they go so far?! You guys don’t even have a passport!”

Big Beardy nodded and said, “They swam.”

Hao Ren was speechless.

Peregrinating was more like swimming to them.

“I feel that I can no longer stop you from conquering this world,” Hao Ren waved his hand listlessly, and suddenly felt it was easier to bombard the First Born in the other world than to deal with such ascetics. “As long as they don’t make a mess, I don’t care.”

Big Beardy nodded cheerfully. “We have confidence that we won’t”

To be honest, Hao Ren would be willing to believe in the promise of Big Beardy two months ago, but now he really doubted the credibility of their ‘confidence’. In such a short period of time, one had swum directly to Africa, unified the tribes in the savanna and became the leader of them—have you ever seen such ascetics appeared anywhere in any scripts? Hao Ren was now very keen to meet the ascetic who seemed to have acquired unusual ‘combat strength’—in every sense of the word—but at the same time was afraid that he would be injured by the African tribal chief’s aura of the ascetic. In the end, he could only laugh wryly and go home with Big Beardy.

“Oh, besides, I’ve also got the ‘lifeblood’,” said Hao Ren as something suddenly crossed his mind. “I’m eager to know whether we can get in touch with the goddess through it. What’s your opinion?”

“I know you don’t believe in the goddess of creation, so you’ll just have to remain respectful.” Big Beardy looked indifferent. He was very open-minded now. “But to be honest, I don’t think you will succeed: establishing contact with the goddess requires extreme piety. Even monks who had been trained for years would fail sometimes when trying to establish contact through a whole branding ritual, it would be almost impossible for a pagan who has never studied the Scriptures to obtain the consent of the lifeblood.”

Hao Ren did not say a word. He felt that Big Beardy might not agree to his method of studying the lifeblood. Therefore, he refrained from mentioning it at all.

Just when the two of them came to the front door of the house, a loud bang suddenly came from behind the house.

Hao Ren was shocked. He ran around to check out at back of his house. What he saw had him speechless.

The smoke behind the house had just cleared. Lots of mechanical stuff were strewn all over the place—old cylinders, bearings, gears, and springs. Obviously there had been an explosion of some sort of mechanical device. A little girl clad in a black Gothic dress sat in the middle of the pit created by the explosion, her body was smoked in black dust with a pipe in her hand. When she heard someone approaching, the little girl cleverly turned her head, revealing her two rows of small white teeth. “Whoa, that was exciting!”

Hao Ren had to hold on to the wall beside him to avoid falling. “Y’lisabet… can’t you do something to conquer the world, be a bully, or find some poor individuals and make them your slaves or something?”

The little demon princess thought for a moment and spat out a mouthful of black smoke. “My dad said I had to wait until I finish primary school then I can go conquer the world.”

Hao Ren could only look at her in silence.

Once again, he found it much easier to deal with the First Born in the other world than to deal with this wonderful bunch of aliens at home!
