Chapter 420: Spiritual Projection
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Divine Gate, the fat bear that Fang Ning was just talking about stretched and continued to lie on the first step, muttering, “There’s nothing wrong, continue sleeping… After all, sleeping will promote muscle growth, and with muscle, I’ll grow stronger.”
At this time, the diligent Sir System was retrieving its harvest.
System Notification: The System released its maximum power, power level is now Inland-Sea level.
[The System activated true dragon form. The System used Inland-Sea level unique attack method ‘Divine Blessing Attack’—’Azure Dragon Goes to Sea’.
The System attacked Ring Lunar Devil.
Crit!
Dragon force inhibited!
Fatalistic Strike!
Divine Blessing Attack!
The Ring Lunar Devil has died.
The System gained 20,000,000,000 Experience Points.
The System obtained 100 Heavenly Merit Points.
The System obtained astronomical figure Reputation Points.
The System’s World Mythos points increased from 70 points to 90 points.]
Fang Ning was very envious and took the chance to say, “You managed to get 30,000,000 experience points in just two rounds. You’ve gotten so much, so you don’t have to keep thinking about that little treasure anymore.”
“How can I just stop thinking about it? Mr. Beethoven is right, ‘a journey of a thousand miles may not be achieved without acc.u.mulation of every single step, just as the enormous ocean may not be formed without gathering every brook or stream’. Although not much, that lousy book also has 1,380,000,000 experience points…” the System said eloquently.
“Hehe, I didn’t know Sir Beethoven knew how to speak Mandarin…” Fang Ning was speechless. The System must have pulled that down from the Internet.
Vigilante A reverted back from its Azure Dragon form and cleaned out the area before leaving. His expression was deadpan and non-complacent, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
Gusts of martian wind blew over the scene of the battle where rubble was strewn all over, which looked particularly bleak.
After a while, a few shattered pieces of rock suddenly spoke.
“Our plan to lure the enemy ended up in complete failure.”
“Yeah, who would have thought he was actually hiding such great strength?”
“Don’t all humans love to do that? They usually hide their capabilities, but only reveal them at critical times!”
“What do we do next?”
“We can’t stand up to him individually, so we’ll have to rely on collective power. Aren’t those dirty underground Greater Rats doing the same? They’ve tolerated Vigilante A for a whole year, and now that that Elder Ancestor Bai is about to break through to the Realm of Sainthood, judging by how he’s acting, there are no signs of him being afraid of Vigilante A at all now. He even generously let his own son be the other party’s hostage.”
“Elder Ancestor Bai is just a villain. He’s only a clan leader and he holds hundreds of millions of Greater Rats in his hands, but how could he have been so weak. He must have been brainwashed by those dirty Earthlings’ culture!”
“Should we make an alliance with him to go against Vigilante A? They’ve previously had quite strong differences…”
“It’s no use, he’ll only betray us. A powerful person would only care about profits. Killing Vigilante A poses no benefits to him, and will instead draw many variables. We’d better settle down first and build our own foundation on this inhabitable Mars. Then, we’ll enact our revenge on him with all the weight of Mount Tai. We’ll make him return the Lunar Spirituals the same way he ate it.”
At this time, a white jade colored rock suddenly said, “Why can’t we just escape from all the killing? The moon is so beautiful. If it had sapient life, it’d definitely not want any bloodshed. Why can’t we just sit down together and have a good talk, and let the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom give up on its plan to devour the moon?”
“You childish fool, who would listen to that pipedream? You’re such a holy mother. The next time you dare to say something like that, you can just leave for Moon Wors.h.i.+pping a.s.sociation yourself!” A red rock accused harshly.
“Of course, you must know that the Moon Wors.h.i.+pping a.s.sociation will not allow anyone to leave alive…”
A wise man once said, ever since the development of civilization, the humans’ greatest enemy has always been themselves.
There was silence for a period of time. Everyone had quietly acquiesced to the red rock’s words.
Very quickly, a rumble was heard, and the battlefield started to transform.
The countless shattered rocks started to automatically move to form the shape of the moon and spread all over the ground.
“Today marks the day we Lunarians officially establish ourselves. We’ll no longer be lowly, despicable, full of lies, greedy, barbaric, two-faced, calculative, shameless, and obscene. In the end, we can only use a single veil to cover up the true faces of the earthlings!
“Death to the earthlings. The Lunarians will rule the world!”
“Oh, oh, what the chief said really is too good,” A group of rocks cheered.
No one knew how these bunch of Lunar Spirituals were able to abandon their ident.i.ties as humans and turn into these rock Lunarians.
If anyone knew, the answer would surely fetch a good price.
…
After finis.h.i.+ng the task of vanquis.h.i.+ng the enemy, Vigilante A used s.p.a.ce Diversion to return to Earth and continue farming monsters.
This scene made Fang Ning feel guilty. ‘Sir System had just earned 20 billion experience points. Doesn’t it know how to give itself a break?
‘As for myself, I have to sleep for three days after working for a few days. The difference between us is just too large. No wonder although we share the same body and have the same qualifications, its strength has already broken through to Inland-Sea level, while I’m still standing still.’
Carry this feeling of guilt, Fang Ning continued to sleep… Sleeping would not create any guilt.
In less than three minutes of sleep, he suddenly became alert. His face changed greatly as he rose to his feet.
“Oh, Rich-man Host, what’s wrong?” The System asked in puzzlement.
“There was someone talking in my mind earlier. I think it’s Daddy Axiom.”
Fang Ning and the fat bear were different. After all, he had a human heart.
“Daddy Axiom is looking for you again?” the System said in envy, “Does it want to give you a treasure?”
“No, I think Daddy Axiom is saying that there’s danger in the future, so I shouldn’t sleep that much.”
“Hiss…” This time, it was the System who was astonished, “Daddy Axiom wants to interfere with others’ sleep too?”
“It definitely wouldn’t have cared before, but now that we climbed up the nine steps, the heavens have taken notice of us. It’s like a responsible homeroom teacher. Although it can’t take exams on its student’s behalf, it’ll definitely urge them to study,” frowned Fang Ning.
“Oh, then it seems you won’t have the chance to sleep in anymore,” the System gloated.
“Ay, fame portends trouble for men just as fattening does for pigs. They have to worry about being called on every day. Sigh, I’ll go busy myself.”
Fang Ning thought morosely for a while before deciding to go to the Draconic Penitentiary.
Previously, he commissioned Anderson to mobilize everyone in the Penitentiary to investigate the Lunarians and dig up all of them.
As soon as the matter started, the other party willingly delivered themselves up to his doorstep, which saved him a lot of worry.
However, he did not know if the Lunarian captured by Sir System into the System Prison earlier had fessed up to anything or not.
Fang Ning knew some foreign spiritual ident.i.ties online who were extremely stubborn. No one would be able to reverse their ideas.
If things failed, it would be another case like what happened to Maram, that spokesperson for the Indian Trinity. Until today, he had not succ.u.mbed to the idea of surrender, which was quite admirable.
‘No matter if you say he’s poisoned or a fool, to be able to maintain an unwavering will in a narrow cell isolated from the outside for almost a year was not something that many people could do.’
Fang Ning walked into the penitentiary with a sour att.i.tude.
When he saw Anderson, they were just about to report to him.
“That Lunarian D’s name is Tarlach de la Rey. He’s a europeoid. He already confessed to everything before I used any educational methods. He said that he was born in an underground organization called the Moon Wors.h.i.+pping a.s.sociation, and has been contacting them using the darknet. They have members from all over the world, and regularly organizes offline moon wors.h.i.+ping activities.”
“They have a sort of spiritual projection ability that allows them to project their own consciousness onto other planets. That’s the origin of the Lunar Spirituals.”
As Anderson said that, Fang Ning sneered inwardly. ‘As expected, those people are only all bark. The moment they meet an iron fist and a steel knife, they’ll immediately show their true colors. They really can’t be put on the same bar as those soldiers who actually have conviction.’
However, he had his eyes open to yet another world. The other party was actually able to develop this kind of superpower. There really were various kinds of strange things in the great world.
As expected, the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom was indeed limited. It was like a human brain. There was no way for it to directly kill the germs and lesions that appeared in the body.
It could only intervene with the help of an immune system that operated spontaneously in the body.
Vigilante A had become an important part of that immune system, but it was obvious that Daddy Axiom was not rea.s.sured enough.
After all, people changed too easily, which was why his strength had to be restricted.
