Fang Ning could not help but find Ling Yunzi’s yell funny.

‘You’re not the first Boss to say that, and you certainly won’t be the last. You might be good at calculating, but only I know Sir System’s true abilities…

‘Well, that’s that today…’

However, he was still a little worried, so he asked the expert, “Andy, do you think the Venerable Dragon God will win this time?”

Anderson immediately affirmed, “If that Ling Yunzi has no more tricks, then he’s doomed today. He can only wipe his neck and wait to be executed.”

Fang Ning was immediately full of smiles, and looked at the screen.

Ling Yunzi looked like he was in disbelief. It was evident that to a cunning old fox like him, he would not easily believe others…

The two clouds of black and white gas he transformed into suddenly divided into a small lump.

Immediately, the weather suddenly changed in midair.

The little white and black gases which separated split apart countless times and grew thin and sharp. Then, like bullets and arrows, directly shot towards the black and white energies that Vigilante A transformed into!

Fang Ning could not help but worry. Sir System was just a beginner, would it be able to skillfully use offensive and defensive fighting in this form?

However, the facts proved that a study drug had no right to worry about a study god…

The next moment, a yin and yang symbol suddenly appeared above the black and white gas Vigilante A transformed into. It appeared similar to an Eight Trigrams Disc, with yin and yang energy circulating.

“Damn it, how are you able to learn such a supreme defense technique so quickly?”

Ling Yunzi was flustered again and roared.

The reason why he kept losing control of his emotions was very simple. He had to use all his ingenuity to be the best in his field, but now, someone else merely took a glance but already learned more profoundly than him. How could he accept that?

‘No matter how talented you are, you can’t go against the cultivation maxim, right?!

‘Unless, those legends were real?

‘Impossible, Vigilante A is just another genius, he can’t be that person from the legends. That’s too destructive to the balance of Heaven and Earth!

‘There’s no perfect being in this world.

‘According to this, it’s impossible for Vigilante A to be that.’

At this time, the bullets and arrows were like eggs hitting stones. They all dissipated upon touching the yin and yang symbol, ruined and powerless.

Ling Yunzi suddenly understood that the other party not only simply learned the Primordial Mystic Energy, he even cultivated it higher than him.

If he were to say that his realm had been brought to the point of perfection, then Vigilante A’s would be actual perfection.

‘However, even if you learned this move, I don’t believe that you’ll be able to learn another as well!’

Ling Yunzi’s cloud of gas violently shook. The black and white energies immediately stopped circulating, and bouts of blood red energy started to appear!

The next moment, that blood red energy, seemed to disregard all the spatial barriers and escaped!

“Damn it, he got away again!”

Sir System said to Fang Ning, aggrieved.

“How can that be? Let me see the System Map!”

Fang Ning opened the System Map and saw that the half-black dot representing Ling Yunzi earlier suddenly became blood red, and then completely disappeared.

“What technique that did person use?”

As soon as Fang Ning asked, Anderson said somberly, “I’m afraid it’s a blood sacrifice technique. Who knows how many creatures served as an offering to allow his escape…”

“What?” Fang Ning was shocked.

“Most fleeing techniques burn life essences, so they’re called blood fleeing. I’m afraid this old devil adopted an original approach and set up a guide somewhere after he Descended, to use others’ lives to act as resources for his escape. It’s incredibly vicious and cruel. However, matters such as these can be found everywhere in the Upper Realm. The lives of the weak are just a type of resource in their eyes…” Anderson shook their head.

They did not disapprove of that in their heart, however, these days, the ones below would imitate the actions of the ones above. They also naturally learned how to use rhetorics to please Fang Ning.”

“It’s vicious indeed.” Fang Ning was slightly stunned. He finally understood that only after coming into contact with many people from the Upper Realm would one understand their social ecology.

Although there were many righteous and benevolent, or even naive and innocent people, there were even more that were like Ling Yunzi.

Selfish beyond hope.

The longer he lived, the more he cherished life, and the more selfish he became. That was because he did not need to pass on or increase the number of resources for the next generation, so many things far surpassed the imaginations of human beings.

So what if countless ordinary people died? To him, they were only inferior creatures that could only live to a hundred years or even just a few decades.

For them to become his sacrifices was Heaven’s will.

Alas, more and more people would Descend from the Upper Realm in the future. With these two conflicting worldviews, one could expect that it would definitely end in bloodshed.

Who would be the one assimilating the other?

It might not be Earth that wins.

The System was still jabbering, “Richman Host, you need to reimburse me!”

“Reimburse my foot. You didn’t even beat the guy. If your strength isn’t enough, then you should just admit it.” Fang Ning was speechless.

“How can you be so heartless? I consumed more than a billion experience points for this. I don’t even use this Primordial Mystic Energy usually, so the costs are redundant. Y-Y-You…” The System stuttered while speaking.

“I-I-… I’m not reimbursing you.” Fang Ning mimicked.

“Damn it, how dare you mimic me…” Sir System was helpless and could only control Vigilante A’s face to look angry and resentful. He flew westward and prepared to return to China.

However, Fang Ning was firm in speech but soft in heart. Seeing this, he quickly called the precious game book and spoke a few words.

Before long, the beloved game book left the System Space and flew straight to the west towards the sea.

“Hmph, what’re you making that useless book do?”

“Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to. The precious would have trouble coughing up over a billion experience points at once. It has to take months to accumulate it. It’s a pity we don’t know where Zhi Nan hid. Otherwise, his Paradise Realm is still a superb farming spot.” Fang Ning said unpleasantly.

“Oh my, I knew you weren’t that cruel, Richman Host. Unfortunately, I can’t simply split apart the System rules. Otherwise, I’d make a few more books.” The System immediately said fawningly.

“Oh, that sounds good. Nowadays, ordinary people have a lot of pressure for second pregnancies. Even raising one child is strenuous enough.” Fang Ning felt the same way.

“Oh, you’re quite right. Just one of that useless book is already enough for me. If there were another, I really wouldn’t be able to handle it.” The System made a rare comment of agreement.

…

The precious game book flew all the way to the Pacific Ocean, wandered around the air a few rounds, before suddenly finding a spot to land.

Below, a group of octopuses were lining up in a formation.

“What are we?”

“We’re the invincible Octopus Army!”

“What’s our purpose?”

“To strive for the reunification of the Octopus Empire!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

A seven-limbed octopus in the lead raised its arm and shouted.

The group of octopuses, some holding harpoons, some holding stones, and some even holding pots and pans, rushed to cheer.

“Chief Twelve Arms, the little ones are enjoying high morale. We can move on to attack the next tribe.”

The twelve-limbed octopus’s face was firm and resolute. It was no longer the immature octopus from last year.

After mediating conflicts back and forth, it finally understood that what Tom the Cat said last year was true.

“The current major problems of the sea can’t be solved by speeches and the resolution of the majority… They must be solved by iron and blood.”

After resolving last year’s conflict between the seven-limbed octopus and the one-eyed octopus and establishing a new tribe, it continued to wander among different octopus tribes.

All kinds of contradictions, all kinds of conflicts, one after another.

Now that the octopus race was active and had awareness, the chances of internal conflict greatly increased.

Similar to human beings, there had never been a creature that would fight as fierce and cruelly as humans did. It was really hard to find another like them.

That was because other creatures did not have that kind of self-awareness, and most of them merely passively adapted to the environment. The only possibility of fierce conflict was to survive itself.

However, humans were different. In addition to survival, there were countless other factors inducing conflicts.

A peerless beauty, a crock, a sentence, a belief, all these could lead to fierce conflicts.

Under such circumstances, Twelve Arms’ mediation became weaker and weaker. It finally understood that only reunification could solve all those problems.

It was useless to rely on one’s mouth for reunification. No one would listen to it.

Only iron and blood!
