Chapter 792: Eyesores
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hook felt satisfied after successfully striking a deal with the Eastern goddess. She answered his questions truthfully, which made him even more well-prepared in this subject.
Supposing the gods of the Upper Realm descended to Earth, he would also have a seat at the table.
He was totally indifferent about the survival of humans.
After enduring the crisis in the Land of Sanguinity and being reborn as a mech, his personality gradually changed.
He used to be a patriot and wanted to witness the greatness of the USA. He wanted his country to be stronger than China and become the world’s leader in the new era. Today, he no longer had that same kind of feeling.
All that talk about freedom and equality was just bullsh*t. It used to be “everyone was equal in the eyes of money”. The threshold of the elites was forged by money.
When the Era of Vitality passed, this concept of equality naturally turned into “everyone was equal in the eyes of power”.
As for him, he wanted the USA and this Investigation Bureau to become sacrificial objects for personal growth.
He lifted his head and stared out of the window. Above the distant sky, a gigantic shadow enveloped the land.
All of a sudden, he opened his mouth. “Your Excellency, you’re also known as the Moon Goddess. That Lunaette over there shall become your palace.”
“Haha, it’s really kind of you, Mr. Hook.” The woman in white nodded and laughed.
...
Meanwhile, Black Robe was reporting about the latest developments to the Great Demon Saint Zhi Nan, who resided alone in the wooden house on the surface of the Lunaette.
Without warning, a rotating light orb exploded.
Black Robe was startled and lost his composure for a second.
“No worries. It looks like someone’s thinking about this piece of land that I’m temporarily residing in.” Zhi Nan waved his arm and the shattered light orb restored itself.
Numerous light orbs rotated within the wooden house. It looked like a scene of the starry night sky.
Black Robe was about to speak again when abruptly, a blue orb among the light orbs became abnormal.
A golden ray formed on its body and extended outwards.
Again, Black Robe was appalled, but his master expressed a look of delight.
“Haha, they’ve finally taken this step.” Zhi Nan grinned. “My master plan can commence today.”
Black Robe felt euphoric. He knew his master’s plan. As long as the plan was successful, all of the saints and deities of the Upper Realm had to be defeated by his master.
As for those characters who gained sudden attention, their fame was destined to be ephemeral.
“These folks who want to migrate to another planet will surely use Vigilante A’s Land of Sanguinity. Unfortunately, it was all because of my foolishness that I couldn’t seize that area for master, or else master would have doubled his results.” Black Robe said sadly.
“It’s alright. Having Vigilante A watching over it is also a good thing, at least he can help resist lots of problems. Those Upper Realm deities aren’t exactly the nicest bunch. Also, my host will be worried about me.” Suddenly, the Great Demon Saint Zhi Nan gazed coldly.
A chill ran down Black Robe’s spine. He just realized that his master simply represented one of ten incarnations of the Great Demon Saints —— the incarnation of wisdom.
His master represented wisdom, which clashed with the indecisiveness of the host. The distinction was simply too obvious.
Black Robe did not dare to think of it anymore. With his present status, he lacked the authority to concoct strategies related to this matter.
It was probably the separation between two realms that caused the body double to construct an independent consciousness.
If they remained in the same realm, they would be governed under the same Heavenly Axiom and this issue would not have occurred.
Black Robe stayed silent for a long time.
Some time passed before Zhi Nan suggested. “You may leave now. Those mechanical spiders need to be further optimized to enhance their adaptability. They shall be the main driving force of the exoteric immigration, and also a crucial tool in advancing my master plan.”
“Yes, Sir.” Black Robe replied and departed.
As soon as he was gone, Zhi Nan scanned the abundance of light orbs in the wooden house. He flicked his wrist swiftly and an orb that emitted a bright, piercing light exploded and disintegrated into dust.
“Too many eyesores...” He commented monotonously.
...
Vigilante A’s farm villa.
In the end, the River God of Sky River changed his mind and agreed to follow the same terms with the Venerable Dragon God, that was to split the profits after the task had been done as a reward.
He could not refuse that offer. Just as Sir System had said, this was related to him reaching illumination.
The other party had other alternatives and he could only compromise.
Once the deal was finalized, the golden ripple in the living room faded away.
“Again, it’s all thanks to your assistance, Venerable One. I doubt everything would be as smooth-sailing without your involvement.” Ren Ruofeng sighed in appreciation.
“No problem. This old fellow’s a sly fox and had the cheek to trick me as well. If it weren’t for you all, I still would have taken him for an honest person. Turned out he was an opportunist after all.” Vigilante A shook his head in disappointment.
Ren Ruofeng chuckled without saying anything else.
Unlike the Dragon God, he had no authority to make such a statement.
After all, Vigilante A was a god and could say whatever he wanted.
Furthermore, Ren Ruofeng understood Vigilante A. The River God of Sky River no longer had a base and all of his powers were gathered on Earth. Besides, the Upper Realm deities were about to descend to Earth soon, or they said that they were already in the midst of descending.
In this situation, it was normal that the River God would want to further supplement his powers in order to benefit himself in the future.
Even deities would fall from grace in the presence of a crisis.
However, understanding something and doing business were two wholly different matters. The River God’s demands were indeed ridiculous. If the Truth Department were to accommodate each and every demand of his, it would only end up as the “Vacuum Department”. (TN: The original Chinese text uses 真空办 – translated as “Vacuum Department – as a pun of the Truth Department. It refers to the department being exhausted of all its resources and getting shut down, thus resulting in a vacuum-like state.)
Come to think of it, he did not wish to see the two deities come to an argument because of that issue, and so he explained. “Elder River God also has certain reasons for doing so. After all, his former comrades will be descending to Earth soon and he’ll face some serious competition. He’s only making such demands for his own safety.”
“Hmph, that means he still doubts my powers. As long as he does good deeds, I definitely would not let any malevolent spirits harm him.” Vigilante A emphasized.
“Haha, true as well. I believe everyone should communicate more often and understand one another better. We’ve only known each other for a year and there’re longer days ahead of us.” Ren Ruofeng advised.
On the contrary, Xie Dong wore a pained expression on his face. He promised himself secretly that he would never go to a place with water again...
...
Spirit Cave, Spirit King Valley.
The Golden River disappeared and reappeared here.
The Bodhisattva Spirit King was speaking to it.
“Bodhisattva, just now, the Venerable Dragon God and the Truth Department requested that I help them locate the spatial coordinates of an extraterrestrial planet. I’m troubled by this, but I can’t refuse them either. Now, I can only beg that you lend me some incense to prevent any problems from occurring once I become fatigued.” The Golden River said.
“Hmm, no problem. I’ve gathered a large supply of incense in these recent years, especially after the creation of the Spiritual Insect Realm. The Spiritual Insects reproduce en masse and collect large amounts of incense every day, so I’ve no problem lending some of them to you.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King was particularly generous.
“Oh, thank you so much.” The Golden River was elated. “You’re still the most generous and compassionate one, Bodhisattva, unlike those petty fellows who will only pay me after I’ve completed the task. They’re behaving like a bunch of contractors.”
“Eh, I don’t believe Brother Dragon’s that sort of person. Was there a misunderstanding between the two of you?” The Bodhisattva Spirit King was puzzled.
“Ah, forget it, it’s my fault after all. I shouldn’t have lied. If I’d told the truth, everything would have been better.” The River God of Sky River answered in a frustrated manner.
He did not expect the situation to turn out this way. He could only blame one person for seeing through his lie.
“Haha, I see. The Venerable Dragon God is a man of honor. If he were lied to, it’s perfectly natural he would not speak fondly of you.” Bodhisattva shook his head in disagreement.
