Chapter 381: The Tide Has Turned

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gregorian calendar, 7th of October.

Three thousand meters above the heart of the Pacific Ocean.

Vigilante A was standing right there and then with an expressionless face.

Around him, his comrades and allies were gathered.

Groups of them gathered together, and there were thousands and thousands of them. Each of them gazed at him.

Like the saying goes, where the crowd surrounded, virtuous people gathered; the supreme hero was currently unparalleled in the world.

Beneath him were surging waves, and above him was the vast blue sky.

It was a prime timing.

Fang Ning looked at the crowd around them then opened his right hand, where a monument appeared.

“The Divine Monument has appeared, the Divine List is out, the Divine Gate has been opened…”

“This is the way to enter the path to heaven…”

Right after he recited those words, the Divine Monument flew away from his hand and stood still in the sky.

Afterward, golden rays shone out from the Divine Monument.

The Divine Monument then vanished. A gigantic gate made of light then appeared on the ground looking solid and concrete.

Behind the light gate was a place filled with clouds.

Amid the clouds, there was a path that snaked upwards. Everyone had seen it before, but it was much clearer this time.

From the entrance, there were nine jade platforms going upwards accordingly, they were clearly distinguishable.

Up until the tenth platform, clouds shrouded over it again, such that only its outline could be seen.

Thrilled, the crowd looked at the platforms with sparkling eyes. They could not wait to enter to check it out.

At this moment, a voice rang in the minds of the people who were present.

“The Divine Monument has appeared, the Divine List is out, the Divine Gate is opened; located at XX degrees north, XX degrees east, in the sky with an altitude of three thousand meters.”

“This is the way to enter the path to heaven… Clans on the list need to select ten members to participate, this will last for one month, those who pass the time limit will be excluded.”

After Fang Ning heard it, he was speechless. Axiom Daddy actually plagiarized the speech that he had made up with effort, and did not even credit him for it…

Followed by this, golden letters could be seen on the light gate, radiating to all corners beneath them.

Somebody tried to identify those words seriously and realized that they were listed clans on the Divine List.

“Human… demon… ghost… devil”, four clans were neatly listed.

The remaining ones were some small clans, and there were more than ten of them.

It was until Fang Ning saw all of that that he truly became relieved that everything went on smoothly.

As expected, Axiom Daddy would personally notify those clans so there was no need for the one with the Divine Monument to run around doing the work, which was quite thoughtful.

“What is he caring for you for? All the clans in the world belonged to it, without a word from it, who would rush to a place miles away to ascend onto the Divine Fate?” Sir System said in a disgruntled manner.

Fang Ning understood sir’s temperament very well, it was obvious that it changed its attitude because it failed to cling to Axiom Daddy.

At this moment, among the crowd that surrounded Vigilante A, Ren Ruofeng waved his fan and stood out.

“Since a whole month’s time will be used for climbing the stairway, we’ll have to maintain order and do our parts as members of this organization. After all, many demons and creatures are present, to stop them from causing trouble…” As he said that, his face looked odd, and he mocked himself secretly.

‘Haha, I might be afraid of anything else but definitely not humans causing trouble, since somebody is eyeing closely.’ he thought.

He had figured this out some time ago and had all sorts of contingency plans prepared.

The Stairway to Heaven was officially activated and manpower was sufficient, hence there was nothing to worry about as long as everything went well.

“Master Ma, lead five hundred men to guard the east area.”

Mount Indigo Monastery’s Master Ma had a dainty bearing that was just like the lake, behind him gathered a big group of Taoist priest-like figures.

Upon hearing that, he looked indifferent as he smiled plainly, but he was thinking in his mind, ‘Haha, it’s finally time for Mount Indigo Monastery to make ourselves known to the world, after cultivating in isolation for a couple of months, how long have I not show myself?

‘I believe many people have already forgotten about me, today will be the day I present my prestige.’

At once, he bowed with his hands held in front, then flew away and led his men to the east.

“Tianjing Fawang, you lead five hundred men too and guard the west area.”

An old monk in yellow robe nodded after hearing that, he led a group of monks to the west.

“Great Bodhisattva, will you please keep watch at the south area.

“With pleasure, with pleasure.” Bodhisattva Spirit King smiled faintly, his aura disappeared, there was only a cloud right above his head, which appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Above the cloud, it was fragrant with butterflies flying around, it was just like a land of fragrant flowers where a saint lived.

After everyone saw him, the knowledgeable ones were awe-inspired.

“He’s truly a Bodhisattva from the Upper Realm. He can actually transform an arcane realm into his own universe, that’s really respectable.”

“Yes, this kind of realm is much more magical and remarkable than saints in myths. Sigh, how are we going to ever catch up?”

Some of the young talents who were able to participate in the gathering and were initially complacent but after hearing these discussions, they were overwhelmed with shock.

Many of them curbed their drive to succeed and understood that there would always be somebody better.

No wonder Ren Ruofeng from Truth Department was being so polite, not asking him to lead anyone. Bodhisattva Spirit King himself currently had a profound strength that could only be limited by the Heavenly Axiom.

Seeing how the situation turned out to be, Sir System said jealously, “We were the ones who gave Bodhisattva his Demonic Realm, he hasn’t even thanked us by giving us valuable gifts, he better not forget… I’ll have to think of a way to remind him.”

Fang Ning was instantly speechless. “What’s the hurry, what kind of character is the Bodhisattva? When we helped him in the past, when has he ever not given us benefits? This time, since he succeeded in transforming the arcane realm, I’m sure he’ll be sending us gifts soon, be patient or we’ll ruin it.”

“Mmm, I’ll listen to you this time, I hope you’ll give me a big surprise.” Sir System finally cooled down.

“Anping, lead five hundred men to watch over the north area.”

As soon as Qiao Anping the husky man heard the order, he led a group of members and flew towards the north.

“Venerable One, please keep watch at the Divine Gate and cast evil away.”

At this point of them, with just a few words, Ren Ruofeng had arranged the complex situation well.

As long as powerhouses were keeping watch and everything went on in an orderly fashion, everything else would fall in place.

Upon seeing this, the crowd was expressed admiration, with a spectacle like this, who would dare to cause any trouble?

Everyone thought as such.

After that, the people started to sit as they waited calmly for the announcement for the second batch of people to enter the Divine Gate.

Of course, the first batch was the people from China and their various allies.

The starting lineup and alternates had already been chosen and a friendship slot was even given to the country of those allies.

…

East of the Pacific Ocean, New Netherlands.

In a special conference room at America’s Special Affairs Joint Investigation Bureau, Chief Hook was intensely irritated, he vented his anger towards his followers.

“The Divine List and the Divine Gate have appeared. The people from China have already done full preparation in secret, but we’ve only just confirmed this now. We’re completely unprepared!

“Is the lump sum of the budget every year there for you to waste?”

All the agents lowered their heads without saying a word.

The tide had turned. In the last century, China’s fate was always in the hands of the others, they were always the last ones to receive information after everything was settled, thus they only accepted one option.

Now, it was America’s turn.

This was the source of Chief Hook’s anger.

Since when had the super nation unknowingly fallen so low, that their fates depended on others?

Right then, an agent could not help but say, “Actually, we had the chance to inform you in advance, but that person was…”

“Hmph,” Chief Hook paused after he heard that, he finally calmed down.

In fact, he knew why something like this happened.

With the activation of a new era, there were all kinds of anti-investigation methods.

China was the place with plenty of deceitful methods like identifying truth and lies, and investigations on souls.

America, on the other hand, happened to have a shallow foundation, such that they could not keep up with the corresponding disguise methods, hence they were unable to find out the core secret.

Formerly, these could only be done by relying on demons, but now there was Vigilante A. As China was his old nest and he did inspections every day, those hired demon agents had become his dessert.

“Haha, it looks like this almsgiver is very troubled.”

While Hook was pulling a long face, a man in a suit appeared at the center of the conference hall.

He had an ordinary look, but his eyes were filled with wisdom.

A brief moment later, a middle-aged man covered in a black robe and a white lady with a seductive posture appeared behind him.

The two of them stood aside and were very respectful towards the man in the suit.

“Who are you? How dare you break into a protected area?” Somebody could not help but ask.

Hu Ke immediately stood up and put his hand out to stop his follower’s reckless behavior.

He knew this suited man.

He came from the east and was called Zhi Nan. Though he had some long hair, he lived by himself like a monk.

Recently, he had been purchasing some high-tech enterprises in the country on a large scale, but there were supposed to be limitations on these sort of purchases.

However, these restrictions seemed to be non-existent to him.

“Mister, what can I help you with?”

“Haha, the demon clan is currently declining, so we need an ally. Currently, I think you’re the only one who’s still qualified.” Zhi Nan smiled plainly and said.

“I see.” Hook was not surprised at all, they had once refined demon generals in the Demonic Realm before, so they were not unfamiliar with the demon clan.

A large number of those in financial groups would actually choose to become demons as they sought longevity.

Demon legends in the west were not at all inferior to the east.

“What do you think?” Zhi Nan continued.

“We’re more than happy to.” Hook said decisively.

“Chief, this isn’t too good, is it?” An old agent blurted out.

The next thing he knew, the man in a black robe turned to stare at him ruthlessly.

“Mmm, Black Robe, spare his life.” Zhi Nan said faintly.

“Yes, master.” Black Robe then stopped glaring at him.

After being stared at, the old agent felt like he was already in hell. On the verge of collapsing, the scenes of hell vanished all of a sudden, he was utterly shocked in an instant.

As he leaned against the chair, he could not say a word, he only gasped for his breath while his heart was feeling as dead as ash.

At present, everything was different from how they were before. If one gave the opposite opinion, his life might be taken away the next moment. Could anyone be so tyrannical…

Haha, but it looked like America used to do things this way too. The easterners were right, the tide had turned well, whose turn was it now?

He buried his head and said nothing.

The others remained silent as well.

On a contrary, Hook was unhurried, he was not afraid too since the other party was seeking him for help.

He could tell, so he walked up to him and said sincerely, “Expert, please come to my office to discuss this in detail.”

“My pleasure, my pleasure.” Zhi Nan smiled again.

Soon enough, the four of them left the conference room, leaving a bunch of agents who were just confused.

An ordinary-looking black man took a crystal ball out. When he looked into it, he looked aghast.

“Jim, what will happen?” Somebody asked out of curiosity. They knew that this colleague of theirs had the ability to see images from the future.

“Eh, what will happen? We’ll continue sliding down to the abyss. Hope will only come to us the moment we reach rock bottom.” Black Guy Jim shook his head and said.

He was the fellow who was ordered to assassinate his partner, Lobo-tada. Nonetheless, he could not bring himself to do it, so Lobo-tada was rescued by Vigilante A.

“Sigh,” All the agents n the conference room sighed after hearing that. An enormous feeling of helplessness rose in their hearts.

Since these people chose to be in this field, they naturally wanted to do something so that they could at least save their nation.

Many of them did not do this just for the sake of having a job and a salary.

Else, there were many financial groups who were hiring at a high price, they need not work so tirelessly in a high-risk place like this.

“I’ve seen that man from some data reports before, he’s an exceedingly strong demon, even the Eastern Pharos could not handle him. This is information bought from China’s Underground Intelligence Organization. It’s unfortunate that they’re being controlled very seriously, so the real core confidential information will only be sold after. If not, we won’t be lectured today.”

Somebody started bringing up a discussion.

Black Guy Jim only stood up quietly. He walked to the window side and looked towards the east.

He thought to himself, ‘Old friend, I wonder if you’re doing well? The stab on you left a sting in my heart.

‘Perhaps you’ll have hope to save this nation.’

At this very moment, Robert, who was watching the ceremony in the sky above the Pacific Ocean as a member of the ally, suddenly felt chills, he could not help but shiver.

His nephew, William, quickly went to him and said, “Uncle, are you feeling cold from the cold wind high up in the sky, do you want me to shield you?”

“There’s no need to, take care of your sweethearts.” Unbothered, Robert said so.
