In the Arctic Ocean, it was the peak of winter and the depth of the polar night.
The glaciers’ surfaces were pitch black, with the occasional spot illuminated into visibility by passing auroras.
A mountain-like bear was fast asleep on one of the trembling glaciers.
In a distance, the occasional silhouette of a group of humans with binoculars could be seen observing every move of the giant mountain-like bear.
One could see the giant bear occasionally roll a few times then let out a thunderous roar from time to time. There was no exaggeration in saying that these roars were audible within a hundred-mile perimeter.
“If I don’t want to get up, I will not get up.
“Continue to sleep, the sky is still dark. I will only get up when the sun is up.”
The lot who were observing from far, while they were from different nationalities, were all sweating beads of ‘cold sweats’ at the same time. 1
This was the Arctic Circle, and it was December, which was the time for the polar night. This meant that this giant bear would probably only wake up naturally next year…
This was truly a long nap, but if its species was taken into account, hibernating was a bear’s nature, and it was winter.
No wonder this b*stard slept so arrogantly…
There seemed to be something trying to wake it, but it remained unfazed.
“The moon is about gone? It’s still early, isn’t there still 6 months? I will go lift it up again in 5 months.”
The giant bear mumbled this sentence repeatedly like it was deeply ingrained in his thoughts. Truly exemplifying how one dreams at night of what one thinks of during the day.
Everyone was tactless. Disregarding all of the bear’s other attributes, its size alone was a problem. When they stood in front of it, they were like ants standing before humans, give or take; or not, since ants at least had some sort of scale.
In the face of such a big gap, they could only observe from far and try not to make any sudden moves. While everyone was aware of the urgency, they also knew that the only thing they could do now was forward the information to their leaders and let the bosses settle this.
In that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Look, there is a ribbon of light in the sky!”
Everyone looked up and in the gray polar night sky, a long, silver ribbon of light cut across the sky towards their location.
“Isn’t that the Pharos of the East?”
Some of the lot with better eyesight and equipment could already make out face within the light.
“It’s him, it’s him! The Eastern Pharos!”
“That’s it! Whenever there is trouble, he’ll be there. How inspiring!” Someone had tears in their eyes.
“Speak softly! Don’t alarm the Spirit Bear. If he so as much turns over, we’re all dead meat.”
“What do we have to fear, the person who can tame the Spirit Bear has arrived. Even the Spirit Bear won’t dare to turn over at this point.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
These observers from different countries, or otherwise known as undercover agents and spies, had no conflict of interest with each other, unlike other industries.
For they were all here to prepare against this supernatural nonhuman living being. Regardless if it was just a Spirit Bear totem, they were still not completely at ease with it.
After all, it possessed too much destructive power. Any Force with the slightest intention and ability to maintain world peace had their eyes on this.
Just like nuclear weapons, anytime there was a nuclear weapons test, it would be hot news. Unless it was not announced to the public.
As for this Spirit Bear, it had a similar standing as nuclear weapons.
While there were probably many individuals or things stronger and more powerful than the Spirit Bear, but none possessed its size or its scale of intimidation. Even a 3-year-old child could tell it was a force to be reckoned with.
As for the people around the world, the majority of them did not possess the ability to discern the strong from the weak.
If one was to conduct a survey, a scarily large majority would probably say that the Venerable Dragon God was no match against this giant bear.
However, at this time, as the Venerable Dragon God arrived on his flying sword, the Spirit Bear suddenly had an epiphany. It rolled over and extended its giant bear paws, acting like it was vigorously rubbing its eyes.
It looked like it had just woken up from a deep sleep and was still incredibly groggy. Thus it was unable to get up quickly, and could only perform subconscious movements.
“Oh, well, the giant bear is waking up.”
“Oh no, it wants to go back to sleep again.” Someone pointed at it as he observed the fact.
Sure enough, while the giant bear had rubbed its eyes, it did not open them. Instead, it rolled over and fell back to the ground as its mouth continued to mutter.
“It seems like an acquaintance has come, forget it, I will pretend I’m still asleep, he will definitely go away.
“Don’t bother me, I’m asleep.”
At that moment, the silver ribbon of light slashed into the cold Arctic Ocean. Instantly, large chunks of ice turned into water, and rushed head-on towards the giant bear!
“Oh…” As for the observers, they were at a loss for words.
Many of them immediately ran and escaped in fear as they quickly crawled up from the ground and ran in the opposite direction.
In their hearts, the giant bear was sure to be furious!
Everyone knew how tough it was to crawl out of bed in the morning, the morning grump was something they were all familiar with.
It was like when one had just gotten into a deep sleep, and an idiot suddenly came and shook them awake. Truly an annoying and unnerving experience.
Let alone getting a bucket of water splashed on one’s head!
That giant bear was definitely going to lose it!
The group of observers complained as they ran.
“Eastern Pharos, although the matter is urgent, can’t you use a more gentle method?”
“Yes exactly! What a case of a fire in the city gates also bringing calamity to the fish in the moat. 2 The ones who can’t fly don’t stand a chance at getting out, we’re doomed!”
Some of the observers who were running about on the ground looked up enviously at some of their peers who had casually made their way into the air, avoiding the fierce battle that was about to unfold on the ground.
“Wait, no need to run, there is a change in the situation.” Some of the observers in the air screamed to their peers struggling below.
No one stopped, but many turned around to look.
Everyone watched as the Spirit Bear was blanketed in a large wave of ice water, and still remained unfazed.
Instead, it curled up into a ball, lifted its head and opened its eyelids. After taking a good look at its guest, it used its huge bear paw to embarrassedly rub its head. The whole thing looked like a giant shy ball of embarrassment.
“Sorry, Azure Dragon Brother, I overslept again.” The giant bear Mishan apologized to the tiny figure in front of him like a child who had just made a mistake.
“In the end, he is the Venerable Dragon God, the Eastern Pharos. Even a being as strong as the Spirit Bear has to bow down to him like a little brother.” Many observers immediately reported back to their leaders.
“Actually the signs were always there. Even during the Celestial Dragon Summoning Ritual, this Spirit Bear had already been tamed. All this is within expectation.” One of the observers started acting wise.
“Oh, within expectation? You ran the fastest just now!” Someone exposed the hypocrisy of this person.
“Oh…” The observers who had stopped in their steps all sneered, and for a time, the Arctic Ocean was filled with an air of happiness.
At this time, they heard the Venerable Dragon God’s lecturing the Spirit Bear.
“Oh big bear, you carry a heavenly large responsibility, how can you be so careless?” Fang Ning said with a heavy heart.
“The moon disappears in six months, and you still have the heart to sleep?”
“Oh, big brother, I am wrong, I will go exercise now.” the Spirit Bear said honestly, “The moon is too high up now, I can’t reach it. Wait for it to lower down a bit, then I will try to lift it.”
“Well, that’s more like it. Like the wise men often say, ‘If one can change after making a mistake, there is nothing better.’ 3 You must examine yourself on three counts everyday. From today on, you must pay close attention to the status of the moon and report back to me. Just in case we don’t react in time to something happening and thus lead to unnecessary loss of life.” Fang Ning said in a serious tone.
“Okay, big brother. You should get back to being busy, I am going to sleep again… No, I will be staring at it, don’t worry. Axiom Daddy isn’t one to make a sudden attack. No matter what, he can’t just bury everyone suddenly.” The Spirit Bear blurted everything out in one go.
“Alright, that’s good. Oh right, you said that after six months, the moon will disappear. What is the process for this disappearance? Do you know?”
“Axiom Daddy said something about needing to abide by the laws of physics, so he has to conduct some sort of experiment. As to what sort of experiment, I forgot. In any case, in six months, the experiment will begin, when the experiment ends, there will be no more moon.” The Spirit Bear said casually.
