After finis.h.i.+ng its sentence, the huge Azure Dragon turned around and took to the skies.


The crowd stared after its figure going further, and all felt a rush of emotion.


Even the Dragon G.o.d said it; humans could win over the Heavens, so what else is there to be afraid of? Roll up your sleeves and go for it!


Besides, besides, in the end, that old man would not care if his grandkids lived or died…


At this moment, the Sky Eagle with extremely keen eyes, who was an ally of Vigilante A, was guarding the west side of the desert with its hundred-meter long body.


As the evildoers incarcerated in the Draconic Penitentiary increased, its strength increased as well. The speed in which it advanced to its path to G.o.dhood became faster, and it had already firmly entered Lake-level. It’s natural talent of vision also became much stronger.


It was no longer necessary to use magical energy to see the stars during the daytime. It could see them clearly with just its naked eyes. Something like that was a small feat for it.


It suddenly lowered its head and asked a staff member beside it, “Your Dragon G.o.d seems to have flown off.”


With a face full of pride, the staff member said, “That old man already pointed us in the right direction, of course it will fly away now.”


The Sky Eagle shook its huge feathery head and said with a yearning expression, “That’s not what I meant. I meant that it seemed to have flown to the sky… I really envy it. It can ignore everything around it and fly freely.


“What?” The staff member suddenly became alert and reported the situation immediately.


At this moment, the people of the Truth Department also felt like the Dragon G.o.d was acting weirdly.


“What direction is the Dragon G.o.d flying to?”


“The moon.”


The satellites in outer s.p.a.ce very quickly captured the corresponding images. Since the Dragon G.o.d was so large, it did not take much effort to catch such a huge body.


The desert people could not see such an image with their naked eyes, but the images have already started circulating the net.


It was of an extremely large Azure Dragon flying out of the atmosphere, heading towards the moon.


Sure enough, although ancestors might say that they will let their descendants stand on their own feet, they would still not be able to help but take action themselves and create better conditions for their descendants.


Such were the people of China. Many of them are busy their entire lives, but they only wanted their children and grandchildren to be able to lead a better life.


After many people discovered this fact, they were immediately filled with complicated feelings. Without being able to help it, they all started shedding tears.


Indeed, an ancestor would care about the lives of his descendants. He would not want his descendants to lose their fighting spirit and become rice weevils, get eliminated, and only then say that simple sentence… 1


It intended to quietly stop the disaster itself!


If Fang Ning could hear the voices in their hearts, he would definitely say, ‘You’re overthinking this, but it’s good that you think that way…’


That was because a System Notification suddenly appeared.


[The Host controlling the Dragon G.o.d’s body to embark towards the moon has triggered Global Sensation Figure status. Temporary effects gained: Reputation will be broadcasted four times. Gaining astronomical figures of Reputation Points every minute.]


[Current Global Mythos is 20 points.]


[Global Mythos increased to 21 points.]


Just as they had observed, Fang Ning ordered the Azure Dragon possessing him to fly towards the moon.


After flying for ten minutes, the System Notification ended. His Global Mythos had already increased to 30 points, but Fang Ning did not stop the Azure Dragon from flying.


This led to the dissatisfaction of a certain Sir, “Great Emperor Host, the Dragon G.o.d has already told you the reason. You can stop acting now, the people’s hearts are stable for now.


“The buff has stopped, so just quickly send away your dragon and hand over the body to me. If you keep dragging this on, it’ll be hard to catch those evildoers when they disperse…”


Fang Ning was extremely speechless, “Why didn’t you say that earlier? I’m not being too utilitarian. Since I used so much energy to summon my Dragon G.o.d, of course I need to make full use of it and check out what’s happening on the moon.”


The System said, “You just haven’t had enough of acting…”


Fang Ning ignored that dolt and only told the Azure Dragon to continue flying.


The Azure Dragon’s speed was extremely fast; it was only slightly slower than Sir System’s sword handling. It could fly 20 kilometers per second, but the distance to the moon from Earth was around 380,000 kilometers, so it would take at least 5 hours to reach there…


If he calculated it like that, it would take quite a lot of time…


Fang Ning was also not very pleased, but it was still acceptable.


Who else, at all times in any country, could turn a large event such as going to the moon into something normal like interprovincial train travel, besides the great Sir Fang?


Because the traveling time was a little long, Fang Ning withdrew his spiritual consciousness and returned to the System s.p.a.ce to take a little nap.


Besides, his Dragon G.o.d was much more reliable than the System. At the very least, it would not suddenly have a notification like ‘The Dragon G.o.d is evaluating… The Dragon G.o.d has decided to go home’.


Thus, while the public was being greatly moved by the Dragon G.o.d’s action of care towards its children, Vigilante A himself was already fast asleep.


After five and a half hours, the System acted as a very punctual alarm clock.


“Great Emperor Host, your moon palace has arrived, please wash up and enter quickly…”


Fang Ning stretched and said, “I’ve told you your EQ is zero, but you just won’t admit it. When it comes from your mouth, even such normal words make me feel like I’m a eunuch…”


Fang Ning’s consciousness immediately returned to his body. At this moment, he heard the Azure Dragon possessing him speak.


“Descendent of the Dragon, this is the moon.” 2


From the Azure Dragon’s view, Fang Ning looked at the planet under his feet that was full of mottled pits.


Looking back, opposite it was the blue Earth, the cradle that nurtured human beings.


In the s.p.a.ce between the moon and Earth, even the Azure Dragon’s huge body looked particularly small.


Countless scholars and poets have compared the moon to a beauty, but all modern people knew that she was actually just a little sister that was full of pockmarks.


The Azure Dragon continued in a low voice, “I’ll say this once more, and you must remember. In one year, the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom will try to annex this moon under its feet to strengthen itself.”


“At that time, the moon will rapidly approach the Earth and cause all sorts of natural disasters. It’s giving you an early warning and allowing you one year to prepare. The races that fail to adapt will be eradicated, but the races that do will obtain a chance at rapid development.”


“One year later, the Earth’s power upper limit will begin to rise sharply.”


“I cannot see clearly which direction the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom is heading. It will not communicate directly with anyone or any sapient creature.”


“However, I can feel this much. Its heart is very big, and very cold.”


“Whoever falls behind will be eliminated.”


“Whoever manages to keep up will be rewarded.”


As the Azure Dragon spoke, Fang Ning’s expression was solemn.


It seemed like the System was nigh invincible on Earth, but as that Hydra Demon had said, it was only because the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom had given it a protection period!


July next year would be the start of the battle for hegemony among the tens of thousands of races, the race for supremacy for beasts!


Using the word ‘beast’ was not incorrect at all.


From the beginning of next year, humans should no longer view themselves as adults who look down on all others. Instead, they should bend their backs and compete with other beasts, and take the evolutionary path again.


At this solemn moment, Fang Ning could not help but think of the game Battle of the Beasts.


The spiritual game tournament that that could bring him large amounts of cash as well as make Sir System bow down to him from time to time.


Thinking about it, the Truth Department had a master who foresaw a scene of what would happen in the future, which was who they named themselves after.


However, to Fang Ning, the name ‘Battle of the Beasts’ could be changed to ‘The Beasts’ Battle for Daddy’ next year. They just needed to add one word. 3


That was because, starting from next year, everyone would be scrambling for Daddy Heavenly Axiom’s favor.


The short-term goal of the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom was to annex the moon and strengthen itself.


After hearing this for the first time, it would cause people to feel shocked. However, after careful consideration, it actually made sense.


After all, this was the most obvious difference between something that had self-awareness, and something that did not!


It was like the difference between man and beast. The reason why humans were stronger than beasts was that humans could set goals and improve themselves.


As for beasts, most of them could only pa.s.sively adapt to the environment, and pa.s.sively undergo evolution.


As the Azure Dragon said, n.o.body knew what the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom’s long-term goal was.


For a shut-in like Fang Ning, there was no way for him to guess what ambitions someone else could harbor.


He only had one wish, which was to live well. He also wanted to let the people who let him live well, live well in return. It was just that simple.


Fang Ning went on, “Ancestor, please take a look first. Are there any new willpowers what are existing on this moon?


The Azure Dragon slowly nodded its head and flew straight to the bottom of the moon.


Fang Ning attentively looked at the moon’s scenery. He might never get to see it ever again.


However, only eye-catching craters appeared before his eyes.


Scattered all over, stacked upon each other, mottled and abrupt, were monochrome rugged rocks that were hollowed in the middle with bulging sides. Those were the most remarkable geomorphic features on the lunar surface, known as the ‘lunar craters’.


Other than that, it was just gray plains and tall mountains as far as the eye could see.


Just as Fang Ning lost track of time while immersing himself in the bizarre scenery of the moon, the Azure Dragon spoke.


“Descendent of the Dragon, according to my senses, there is no life present on this moon, nor any sign of lunar consciousness. It is truly a dead place.”


Fang Ning felt slightly disappointed at its words. He had intended on recruiting an ally in an attempt to stall for time and prevent Daddy Heavenly Axiom from annexing the moon too quickly.


Fang Ning then asked, “The Earth’s Heavenly Axiom wants to annex the moon, but how will it go about doing that? What is the process? Could it possibly violate the law of universal gravitation and increase the gravitational pull between the two bodies just like that?”


The Azure Dragon was stunned at his words, “I don’t understand… Can’t it just pull it over, rip it apart, and eat it piece by piece? Why does it have to consider the law of gravity? What’s that supposed to be?”


When Fang Ning heard the familiar piece of vocabulary, he thought that this Azure Dragon had changed to the System’s for a moment.


In a flash, the originally sacred and tall dragon suddenly seemed to be so much more real in his eyes. It seemed his ancestor was also a slacker after all…


Sir System also spoke, “Hm, I also don’t understand. Seems like this dragon has a lot of affinity with me… I’ll try to see if I can keep it next time. Its strength is much greater than mine.”


Fang Ning wanted to vomit blood upon hearing its words. Indeed, they had a lot of affinity with each other. They were both slackers.


He came to his senses and lectured the System, “What do you mean affinity? You don’t know anything other than battle. My dragon doesn’t understand because it’s still in gestation, so its education level is not high. Furthermore, it’s made up of the unity of the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in China. It’s their fault that it doesn’t understand.


“To tell the truth, it’s been so many years since high school. I’ve also almost completely forgotten what the law of gravity is all about. I only know who was involved and who benefitted from it…”


The System said plausibly, “Then that should apply to me too. I’m not even a year old. Of course my education level is not high either.”


‘Alright, you’re young, that’s reasonable.’ Fang Ning was speechless and decided not to argue with the halfwit.


He looked at the moon one last time. After circling once more, he had a grasp on the situation and what needed to be done. He then told the Azure Dragon to turn around and go back.


It seemed quite unlikely to prevent the moon from being annexed by the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom because no one could shake its will. Humans still had to rely on the Earth to survive.


However, in this process, the humans may not necessarily need to pay a painful price for adaptation. At least, the people of China did not have to pay that price.
