Chapter 366 - I Bring My Own Power Supplies

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This black lotus looks a little suspicious, like it’s a demonic item. I must take it with me for the safety of the human race,” Vigilante A said with a straight face to Gu Buwei.

‘Ai, I knew this was going to happen.’

Gu Buwei said to himself deep down. He would soon find out about the location of the Earthly Monument if he took away the black lotus.

The Dragon God-Hero was never lustful, never bullied the weaker ones, and had a calm demeanor.

He was always decisive, hardworking, heroic, was never afraid of the powerful, and fought for justice…

It would take days to completely list out his virtues as he was near saint-like a person could possibly be.

However, there would never be a perfect human in the world as decided by the Heavenly Axiom.

The almost perfect hero had all but one weak point, and that he valued money more than his own life…

However, with his almost perfect personality, a few of his rather unpleasing actions were always ignored by the public.

As many powerhouses were trying to garner personal benefits all over the place, how much more can the public ask from the Venerable One since he was putting in the work for his own gain?

Plus, commoners had no problem staying near him. The rapidly increasing property prices was the best measure for that.

They knew what character he had since no one would like to stay next to a horrible neighbor.

Gu Buwei hesitated for a moment before saying, “Venerable One, you have no idea what this is. The Earthly Monument is being sealed by this black lotus, but it is yet to be born. When it is time for the birth of the monument, I will personally bring it and give it… to you…”

He was having a difficult time finishing his sentence. The real owner of the monument would cry his heart out if he knew what was going to happen to his treasure…

However, it was always better for it to belong to a hero he knew personally rather than a stranger. At least he would never use it to try and destroy the world…

Gu Buwei found the perfect reason for him to make such a decision…

Sir System replied with hesitation, “Richman host, he seems like he is telling us the truth. What is our next move?”

Fang Ning replied immediately, “So what he means is that the monument is still at its infant stages and has yet to reach the right time to be born, right?

“Of course we will only take it away after it is ready. What’s the point of us taking it now since it is still just a black lotus and being protected by this powerful Gu Buwei for free?”

“You are wise, Richman host. We cannot risk my Earthly Monument…” Sir System said firmly.

“There’s a sense of ambiguity in your sentence,” Fang Ning replied.

“Oh, I feel the same. Let me fix that then. We cannot risk YOUR Earthly Monument… No more ambiguity right? You are a male and you cannot give birth to anything,” Sir System said in satisfaction.

“Oh, shut up,” Fang Ning rolled his eyes and ignored that idiot.

The argument between a human and a machine finally stopped. Vigilante A said to Gu Buwei, “I always obey the law of nature. If that’s the case, then thank you for helping us protect this treasure. Remember, do not let anyone evil lay their hands on this.”

Gu Buwei’s face turned sour before awkwardly laughing to disguise his emotion.

‘Well, he basically means that anyone else other than him that touches this treasure is evil…’

Gu Buwei nodded, “This is part of my responsibility anyway. Do you have anything else in your mind?”

‘Hurry up and leave if there’s nothing else. I want to continue reading my web novel…

‘Looks like I figure out something interesting.’

Vigilante A never learned to observe human nature, and thus had no idea that Gu Buwei was asking him to leave.

He replied, “I still have something else that needs to be settled.”

“Oh, go ahead then, Venerable One.”

“Do you know how to accumulate Heavenly Merit Points?”

Gu Buwei looked exceptionally calm like he knew he was going to ask that question.

The Heavenly Axiom was right in his predictions. Everyone at the peak of the world would start to try and obtain those merit points…

His grandmaster was one of them, so he was not surprised when Vigilante A asked.

Since he chose to walk the Path of Heavenly Punishment, he would surely try to garner more merit points in order for him to receive the proper recognition from the Heavenly Axiom as the sole punisher of Heaven in this realm.

However, he had no idea that Sir System was only trying to bootlick the Heavenly Axiom…

He said, “I won’t hide it if you really want to know. These merit points are being given to reward people who maintain the peace of the universe and help it grow. Those who do the opposite would then be punished by Heaven. The merit points or the Heavenly Axiom does not discriminate good and evil, as evil civilians can also strengthen the universe while the hero might do the opposite…”

Fang Ning nodded in agreement. All the commoners always prayed that Heaven would just send those evil demons to hell with a strike of thunder, but did he ever do what they hoped for?

Not once. Justice would only be preserved when the oppressed stood up for themselves. Those who placed their hopes and dreams on someone else would always be rewarded with disappointment.

“Once you understand this, you will realize that earning merit points takes no effort. How do you think we can strengthen the universe? The basic rules that can be easily observed by anyone will be gaining strength through size. Even though this theory might not apply to every situation, but that was because there’s nothing absolute in this universe.

“That was also why it was natural for the Heavenly Axiom to devour the moon. Regardless of how much fear and hatred the humans had towards him or how strong the voices of disapproval appeared around the internet begging for mercy, they could never alter the decision of the Heavenly Axiom.”

At that moment, Gu Buwei stared at Vigilante A. He stopped talking and started hesitating.

Sir System asked curiously, “Why did he stop?”

Fang Ning replied with a straight face, “The truth always hurts. He is trying to slow the pain down.”

“Oh, I never feel pain or unpleasant. Plus, these are your ears and mouth. I will let him continue then…” Sir System said in disdain.

“Heh,” that was Fang Ning’s only reply.

Vigilante A said, “Don’t worry about it, you can be straightforward.”

Gu Buwei was impressed. The things he was about to say was something he would hide from his grandmaster.

The person in front of him was the only one he was confident that he would never turn aggressive no matter how unpleasing the advice was.

“You cannot lift Heaven.”

He said this while staring at Vigilante A.

As he predicted, Vigilante A remained emotionless and only asked, “What you meant to say is I should not work against the will of Heaven? And the consequences of doing so will be the complete opposite of obtaining those merit points?”

Gu Buwei nodded slowly.

The other party never got angry. That person was the one who summoned the Dragon God in front of everybody on earth and promised to keep the sky above. Plus, he was the one who tricked the Russian bear to push the sky.

The things he were saying was basically giving him a big slap in the face.

The other powerhouses would have been thrown into a fit of rage as soon as he finished talking.

A disapproval of ideologies between two commoners could lead to a bloody fight. If those commoners were replaced by cultivators, those fights would lead to an even more brutal outcome.

However, Vigilante A had no such intention and showed acceptance to his advice. He realized that Vigilante A had another virtue that he had missed.

There were many emperors throughout the history that claimed they always accept criticisms, but in reality, those were just lies. Their level of reception to criticism would be like a little puddle compared to the Venerable One…

“Oh, I finally understand. Thank you for your advice. Since I cannot do that then I will have to come up with a different strategy. By the way, how is he planning to devour the moon?”

Gu Buwei shook his head and replied, “This is a secret. I have yet to reach the level where I am able to reveal it. My grandmaster has only hinted that in the future, our world would become a hemispherical dome.”

“A hemispherical dome?” Vigilante A softly repeated the words.

Fang Ning suddenly realized something and was shocked by what he thought about.

“Richman, what is your understanding on this?”

“Oh my heaven, your dad is too ambitious, we can never reach his level. Keep bootlicking him no matter what happens.”

“How am I supposed to do that if I don’t even know where to start?” Sir System was confused.

“Why can’t you just ask this guy? Isn’t he constantly trying to please the Heavenly Axiom?”

Vigilante A asked, “Alright then, I will figure this out personally. Do you have any other methods of obtaining those merit points?”

“Yes, there are,” Gu Buwei replied calmly.

“Go ahead.”

Gu Buwei pointed to the sky and said, “The upper realm constantly sends things down to earth. However, those things can be a double-edged sword as some bring benefits to this realm, while others are trying to destroy us. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Axiom in our realm is still at the infant stage and cannot completely filter out all the evil stuff with its flaws.

“If we can somehow build a Skynet which can help in the filtration process, that would be considered as a huge contribution to the world. You are the chosen one to complete the task. This is what I can see.”

Sir System said in shock, “Richman, my dad really favors you to a point of asking me to build a Skynet. If I get this done, you will never have to worry about me cutting off your internet access. No way, I need to find another way… I might lose the ability to be strict on you.”

“Heh,” Fang Ning was speechless. He knew that stupid System would misinterpret everything Gu Buwei had said.

Surprisingly though, he was right this time around. The Skynet being requested by the Heavenly Axiom was something he could take advantage of.

The only problem with that was converting the data to something usable.

That would be the time for him to show his ten-year experience as a programmer, even though he was the lazy type…

Fang Ning said with a straight face, “What makes you think I am that kind of a person? How am I going to utilize the Skynet as a way for me to read my novels, play video games, download videos and go live online?

“This net is meant to be used to communicate with our allies on the location of our enemies and create teamwork while exchanging secret information before fighting those bosses.”

“Don’t you think that sounds like one of your video games? You just gave it a name with a nicer ring to it.”

System Notification: [The System looked through the lies of the Host.]

“Well, since he already made it so clear for us we can return now. Stop wasting time,” Fang Ning immediately tried to divert the topic. He had his eyes on something.

‘Actually, I am already involved in creating something similar for China. If I can do something and connect the little Skynet from the Truth Department to the real Skynet we are going to build, I can connect to the internet with my spiritual sense when I am out of the System Space…

‘By then, your threats about cutting my internet and power supply will no longer work on me…

‘And I no longer need to bring a generator with me anymore.

‘I have my own power supply that can be switch on with the power of love.’
