When Fang Ning brought the two men back to the glacial coast the Black Dog was stationed, the Dragon Carp was already waiting in its tank.
Seeing Vigilante A approach, the Dragon Carp immediately jumped up and claimed the credit proudly, “Master, I’ve figured out what’s going on. This matter, I’ve seen of it often in the Upper Realm…”
“Oh!!” Besides Vigilante A’s deadpan expression, Old George and Robert were both pleased and surprised.
Especially Old George, who immediately ran up to it. His face was full of eager expectation, “Oh, Great Carp God, please tell us the reason behind the changes of the tides.”
For many outstanding senior scientific experts, if there was a major puzzle that they could not solve, it would make them feel restless and eager to solve it.
One of the typical examples was Archimedes, who had to think about the law of buoyancy even while taking a bath…
Although Old George had some problems, as a scientist, he could still respect this side of his predecessors.
The Dragon Carp tossed its tail, not sparing him a glance, and said fawningly towards Vigilante A, “Master, back then, where the First and Third sons of the Dragon Clan were young, it was I who accompanied them out to get experience and protect the Upper Realm.”
Vigilante A lightly said, “Get to the point…”
The Dragon Carp immediately checked itself and hurriedly said, “The point is, this natural disaster is actually the result of the newly born Heavenly Axiom born by the Earth. I’ve dealt with similar situations in the Upper Realm, so I’m very experienced. I found the problem after swimming around in the ocean. As for why it’s doing this, the reason…”
Fang Ning was not surprised. This was in line with his guess.
Just think about it. Sir System was currently the strongest force in this world, but if he were to ask if it could push the moon, the System would definitely say he was stupid…
That was why Fang Ning did not think about ordinary creatures at all. He thought about who could do something like this, like the Whitestone Elder Ancestor, who could even shatter a piece off a continent….
Hm? Thinking about this, Fang Ning seemed to have grasped something.
However, he did not continue the thought. He merely said to the Dragon Carp, “Very good. You’ve done well. Brett has worked very hard bringing you back and forth. I have great rewards for you. However, this is not the place for these kinds of talk. We’ll discuss this when we get back.”
The Dragon Carp shook its head and tail happily.
It felt full of pride in its heart. It thought, ‘This time, Sir Dragon Carp will have to put on a good show and show off the elegance of someone who was once the leader of the Dragon Clan.”
It would definitely shock the Yellow Dog Xue Ba, the butler Zheng Dao, Think Tank Ren Ruofeng, and that good-for-nothing hamster that only knew how to chew chestnuts all day.
Ah, right, it should also call that constantly absent great green insect.
It’ll let the insect know, if she ate it, there would be no one else to help them solve these troubles in the future. It will also save it the trouble of keeping track of its tail… Sir Dragon Carp was not able to sleep peacefully for these few days.
Fortunately, it was smart. It fooled the Black Dog into carrying its home on its back.
Dogs are the best housekeepers. It no longer had to worry that it would be missing a tail after sleeping. It could finally have a good night’s sleep.
Getting praised, the Black Dog Brett raised its head high, its face proud.
Master really was perspicacious. It really was grateful to itself for being unafraid of hard work this time and brought the fish tank along with it back and forth. Otherwise, how would the Dragon Carp have the chance to make such a feat?
…
They then rode on Vigilante A’s flying sword and returned to the Qi City farm villa.
On the way back, the Dragon Carp suggested, “Master, there’s one more thing. The great green insect was once the daughter of the patriarch of the Upper Realm Celestial Clan. Although it loves to eat and sing, and never does proper work, there are some things it should hear. It’ll be better to call it over. After all, three heads are better than one.”
Fang Ning agreed and sent a message to Chong Daqing. It promised to rush over immediately, which made Fang Ning very pleased. Although Daqing was a glutton, it was a good child.
Fang Ning was not Zheng Dao, he had always been lazy to communicate with people. He barely bothered speculating what other people were really thinking, much less two non-humans.
As such, he had no idea that those two had their own wishful thinking.
After a while, they arrived at the villa courtyard, and sat inside the living room.
Before long, the great green insect hurried over, coated with the smell of disinfectant.
Afterward, butler Zheng Dao, Ren Ruofeng, who just woke up after drinking, as well as the animal entourage, gathered together.
The white hamster was not chewing chestnuts anymore, and squatted down on the coffee table with a dignified expression.
Obviously, it was Cang Gonzi who was controlling the hamster’s body now, not that Xiao Bai… Bai Ruocang. 1
Seeing that everyone arrived, the Dragon Carp immediately jumped out of its tank and leaped into the air, revealing its fatter body.
Just as it was about to talk, the great green insect’s eyes brightened, and it said, “Great Azure Dragon, the matter you mentioned, I’ve seen something similar before.”
Fang Ning instantly raised its hand to signal the Dragon Carp to stop. He knew that it loved to blow its own trumpet, so he let the innocent great green insect speak first.
Seeing this, the Dragon Carp bitterly fell back to its tank, feeling slightly listless.
The great green insect glanced at the Dragon Carp and thought gleefully, ‘As long as I perform well, the Great Azure Dragon would definitely feed its tail to me as a reward…
‘Right, the Great Azure Dragon is too soft-hearted. I need to tell him, those with dragon ancestry all have very strong regenerative abilities. It’s no big deal if a tail is eaten. It can just grow another…’
For some reason, the Dragon Carp felt a sudden chill. It hurriedly retreated into the sand to hide.
Everyone’s attention immediately focused on the great green insect.
In an instant, this palm-sized creature seemed to have become the key to determining the fate of mankind…
However, no one knew that it had no intention of saving mankind. All it wanted was to eat the tail of a certain fish…
Fang Ning was very pleased, “Hm, just speak. As long as it helps, I’ll treat you to a big meal.”
The great green insect was so happy flowers sprouted out of its eyes. It immediately said, “Long, long ago, I remember following my father out to inspect the vassal state of our Celestial Clan. A local leader said that Heaven was angry, and so repeatedly flooded their farmland with water. They built a dam but could not stop it at all, so they asked my father to help quell the disaster.
“Father patrolled and found out that they were overpopulated. They turned many mountains and grasslands into farmland. He told them to work diligently and increase their yields, and do a good job in internal food distribution. Don’t let anyone eat too much, because there are still people who were hungry… Oh, was he talking about me?”
Fang Ning was speechless, and appeased, “Don’t worry, you’re thinking too much. Your father is the Clan Leader of the Celestial Clan. He won’t be that stingy. Just carry on.”
Daqing was reassured, “Finally, father told them not to expand blindly. He told them to plant more trees and grass, and restore the damaged mountains and grasslands. Ever since, there really have been no more unstoppable floods.”
After hearing his, Fang Ning pondered.
The others looked solemn, silently thinking.
Cang Gongzi nodded and agreed, taking the lead and echoing, “What this daughter of the Celestial Clan said isn’t bad. I’ve also heard a similar story. When that person arrived on Earth, he also worked on farming, controlling the rat population, and handled sustainable developments. This was precisely what he knew.”
Everyone knew who it was referring to. With that verification, there was no room left for doubt. The information provided by the great green insect was definitely reliable.
After a long while, Ren Ruofeng took the lead and said, “It seems the Heavenly Axiom is warning us in advance. In the past, there was no extraordinary Axiom that existed. There were only the cold laws of nature. Every time, it’s the humans who court their own death after touching the laws of nature, and caused all sorts of natural disasters that cannot be resisted.
“Take for example the disappearance of Loulan Kingdom, and Black Sunday, which occurred in the USA. They were all caused by excessive destruction of vegetation. Humans were completely helpless, and could only wait for the natural disaster to subside, and then try to remedy it afterward. We have long been doing all kinds of work, but there are many powerless people who are ignorant and do not know how to control themselves.” 2
Fang Ning nodded, “Mr. Ren is right. The self-will of the Heavenly Axiom will give us flood warnings ahead of time. It won’t wait until the destruction of vegetation is beyond remedy. Now that it is using this method, what is it trying to warn us in advance of?”
Everyone immediately felt their heads hurt.
This question was not easy to answer. Were they supposed to return farmland back to forests, and no longer destroy vegetation?
In fact, many countries already knew about this matter, and there are many responsible people who are already working hard on it, but even now, there were still many others who were…
The Dragon Carp immediately jumped out and said excitedly, “I know what the Heavens are trying to warn humans about.”
Everyone’s attention instantly snapped towards the Dragon Carp, their expressions all surprised.
The Yellow Dog Xue Ba said sourly, “Geez, the one who watched the gates of the Dragon Clan is really well informed. However, the situation now is urgent. Stop being suspenseful and just say it…”
The Dragon Carp completely ignored the other’s jab and said triumphantly, “It’s because the humans here are insatiable. They’ve almost fished out all the fish in the sea. When I went to the sea earlier to investigate, a few Giant Shrimps and Giant Fish that gained sapience told me that they can’t let their clan members be so stupid in the future. They keep running to the same few places every year.
“In the future, they want to be self-reliant and open up new breeding grounds. They can’t be found by human fishermen ever again and let their nests be captured. Heaven is obviously warning humans to stay away and control themselves. You can’t eat fish anymore, or else it’ll send huge waves to punish you…”
The Dragon Carp’s words, in the beginning, were very reasonable. Everyone deeply believed and agreed with it.
If it did not ruin everything by adding that last sentence, everyone might have believed his words to be true.
Ren Ruofeng was preparing to suggest a short-term fishing ban to the Truth Department and observe the situation first. However, the moment he heard the last sentence, he instantly understood.
Well, this bastard was definitely bragging again.
He drank with it every day, how would he not know about this?
The great green insect was very dissatisfied at its words. It planted its forelimbs on its waist retorted, “Nonsense. It’s only natural to eat fish. How could the Heavens punish us for that? What the Heavens is obviously trying to say is that there is something dangerous in the sea, so we should stay far away from the sea.”
Ren Ruofeng frowned, thought a little, and then his face contorted in horror.
He subconsciously looked towards the Venerable Dragon God but saw that he was still expressionless.
He did not know if the Dragon God had also thought of that frightening possibility. If he was right, then this could really be an unstoppable disaster…
