Chapter 337: Birth of the Divine Monument

When everyone heard this, they all panicked and came back to their senses.

This hero had never been a pedantic person. He was not a hero who could be easily opposed by others!

After all, there were countless evil monsters that have died by his hands, and not even their corpses remain!

They saw the Azure Dragon swoop down with its claws bared.

At this time, no matter if it was the Spirit Bear or the black and yellow dogs, they naturally fled quickly.

Gu Buwei frowned, as if he could not understand. Where did Vigilante A get his confidence from?

However, he knew many secrets and did not want to end up in a direct conflict with the other party. If one as strong as the Spirit Bear was unable to pull it, then the Azure Dragon would be unable to do anything with this stone monument as well.

Thus, he fluttered a few hundred meters away, where it should be a safe distance away.

Afterward, everyone watched as the Azure Dragon’s two front claws firmly gripped on the stone monument.

Then, in the next moment, they felt the bottom of the valley shaking.

Subsequently, they saw the Azure Dragon start to fly upwards.

The entire stone monument actually started to rise slowly. The situation was quite different from when the dog and bear attempted it.

Everyone was struck dumb with amazement. Vigilante A really was the person chosen by heaven to walk the Path of Heavenly Punishment. He could actually pull up the stone monument so easily.

After a while, their eyes blurred slightly, and the entire stone monument disappeared.

Left on the ground was a large, round pit.

This round pit was only a few meters deep, but it had a diameter of several hundred meters. They felt a little confused.

Everyone had seen that the part the stone monument exposed above ground was only six to seven meters wide.

When Gu Buwei saw this, his expression changed slightly, instantly understanding what happened. Then he looked at Vigilante A’s gaze and became slightly more solemn.

He already understood the mystery of this stone monument and why the Azure Dragon was able to pull it out so easily even though when Spirit Bear, which was much stronger, could not.

Unexpectedly, It turns out that base of this stone monument could be changed…

An image appeared in his quick brain.

When the previous two were exerting their strength, the base of the stone monument that was hidden underground silently extended until it was under their feet.

However, with just that little change, coupled with the fact that it was tough and made of extraordinary materials, could guarantee that the two powerhouses with incredible strength would not be able to move it an inch even if they exerted all their strength or used more magic.

That was like the yellow dog and the others were standing on the stone monument while trying to pull out the stone monument. It was like someone standing on a stool while trying to lift the stool at the same time. It was absolutely impossible to achieve.

That was because it violated the rules of heaven and earth… To be more precise, it violated the basic laws of mechanics.

It seems like although they had entered a new era, the world still had to abide by many basic laws of the materialist world of the past.

It was impossible to step on your right foot with your left foot and fly all the way to heaven.

You could consume Vitality and even use magic to lighten your body to the level of hydrogen to fly, but you just could not violate the basic laws.

Perhaps others think that this was ordinary and did not matter.

However, in the eyes of those who were proficient in numeracy like Gu Buwei, it was of great significance.

The stone monuments descended from the Heavenly Axiom needed to abide by and use the basic laws of mechanics. What did that mean?

It was a faint indication of the trend of the future development of the Heavenly Axiom.

And this was of great significance.

Gu Buwei rapidly understood this and then frowned deeply.

Since the stone monument was taken away by Vigilante A, he would not be able to carry out many of the next events.

According to the grandmaster’s divine calculation, this stone monument had a great purpose, but only the chosen one would be able to open it.

Now, Vigilante A discovered the secret of the stone monument, and simply pulled it up from the sky…

In other words, there were only a handful of people who could pluck such a heavy stone monument directly from the sky without stepping on the earth.

Maybe even the Heavenly Axiom did not expect to make such a mistake…

After all, even the Spirit Bear from earlier found it hard to do from the sky. Its legs stepped separately on four little clouds, but it had been shivering all the while. One glance and it was obvious that they were struggling just to hold up the weight of that fat bear.

Otherwise, the Spirit Bear would not have deliberately landed on the ground. It would have just pulled it up from the sky.

Indeed, this incident proved just how amazing the Azure Dragon was.

However, in the divine calculations of his grandmaster, the chosen one was not the amazing Vigilante A, but another person. Even so, compared to Vigilante A, that person was no different from a weak rooster…

He should be coming soon.

“Venerable Dragon God, please wait.”

Gu Buwei floated to the sky and stood in front of the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon watched him, “Do you need something?”

Gu Buwei lightly said, “The Venerable One has great magical power to be able to go against heaven. However, this stone monument must be left behind. It has another important purpose. You should not go against heaven’s will.”

The System was completely confused. It said to Fang Ning, “I pulled the stone monument out with my own strength. Why do I have to leave it behind?”

Fang Ning agreed, “Yes, treasures belong to the virtuous. Besides, the black dog was the one who discovered this first, and it’s not a cultural relic either. If it falls in our hands, at least we have systematic rules and regulations. We won’t use it to do bad things.”

He naturally knew how powerful this stone monument was thanks to the fact that the monument could change. This was the distinction of an artifact.

If you looked at the treasures in myths, only the top treasures had this ability.

Receiving the full support from its Rich-man Host, the System immediately became confident.

The Azure Dragon remained silent and clenched both its claws. Its cold eyes stared icily at Gu Buwei.

The message in the dragon’s eyes was very clear. ‘If you don’t move, these two claws will pound you to death…’

Gu Buwei… did not move.

He only raised his head and looked up at the sky. However, at this time, it was completely cloudless.

Just as he was about to frown, he saw the Spirit Bear fly over from the sky, as if coming over to help him.

He cast his gaze over and looked at the four little clouds under its feet.

He seemed to understand something and sighed with emotion. As expected, it was hard to predict God’s design. Then, he silently stepped aside.

The audience watching the show from below all instantly let out a sigh.

They thought that they would at least be able to watch a big show. Although the treasure was gone, it would not be too bad just being able to feast their eyes.

“You from the Azure Mountain, aren’t you always so badass? Why are you being such a wimp today?”

“Yeah, they haven’t been selling anything recently either. I thought they were withdrawing from their booth. Looks like the truth was he’s afraid of the True Dragon’s prestige and doesn’t dare to snatch the market from him.”

“Sigh, so they were just a flock of weak birds. No wonder they holed themselves up so deep.”

Some people gleefully said inciteful words. After all, they did not have to worry about anything if they were just watching the show.

However, all of them forgot that this year, whether or not they can watch the show would depend on if they had any money first.

Gu Buwei stood confrontationally for a moment, but then suddenly disappeared and vanished into thin air.

The Azure Dragon and Spirit Bear looked at each other and flew off separately. The black and yellow dogs also pounced on the ground and walked away.

While the audience lamented and sighed, before long, they heard a rumbling sound from around them

Looking up, they saw pieces of rocks, ice, and snow mingle together and roll down the valley.

“Avalanche!”

The audience was instantly scared to death. Most of them were only Bucket-level. They could not fly just yet.

Thus, they all desperately ran out of the valley, flustered, and barely managed to get away.

Seeing this, everyone then understood that even if they wanted to be passers-by in the future, they would at least need to be Basin-level or above.

Only those who cannot qualify for Pond-level will have the rights, just like those who flew away to safety from the sky…

Vigilante A returned to the farm villa.

Fang Ning had obtained a treasure, so he was very happy.

Thus, he persuaded the System to reward the black and yellow dogs ten new Dragon Clan endorsement pills each, making the two dogs extremely excited.

Besides, since he was being generous at Sir System’s expense, of course he was willing to show favor to demonstrate his benevolence as a boss.

If the Dragon Carp was still around, it would definitely be regretting right now.

That was because it had absolutely no need to follow Cang Gongzi into office so early.

There was not even a feather present in the Yin Energy Realm right now. It was completely deserted, so even if it wanted to change some fresh water, it would be hard for it to accomplish.

Afterward, Fang Ning ran to the System Preservation Area and observed the stone monument that was more than ten meters high.

He saw that the material the stone monument was made up of was unique. Its shape was simple and it revealed a boundless and lonely atmosphere. Standing before it was like standing between heaven and earth.

Fang Ning clicked his tongue in praise before opening up the System Notification to understand what the stone monument was about.

[The System obtained Heavenly Axiom Treasure Divine Monument. The effects are:]

[1. Divine List. Records all the world’s clans and their resource points. Those in the list are all races recognized by the Heavenly Axiom.]

[2. Every 3 months, activate ‘Ladder to Heaven’ once. There are currently nine levels. Each clan may only choose ten people to climb the ladder.]

[Depending on the final ranking of the ten members from each clan after climbing the ladder, adjustments will be made based on the concentration of Vitality in different areas for the next three months, adjustments will be made for the probability of production of various valuable resources, adjustments will be made for the probability of geniuses among newborns.]

[3. The follow-up function is updating…]

Seeing the last line, Fang Ning almost puked out blood. A treacherous game developer’s face almost appeared before his eyes.

Awhile later after he calmed down, he said thoughtfully, “Looks like Gu Buwei wasn’t wrong. This treasure really does have another important purpose. Looks like he really wasn’t moving out of selfishness.”

Sir System said, “Of course he wasn’t wrong. This treasure is very useful. You can see that its materials are very good. It’s comprised of countless types of valuable resources. As expected from something produced by the Heavenly Axiom.

“I’ll melt it down later and use it to upgrade my flying sword from Legendary-grade to Mythical-grade. It’ll be a piece of cake.”

Fang Ning puked blood after hearing the System. He already had an idea of what to do. If he were to let the System carry on as it pleased, he might have to worry about slipping on something when he went out, or choking when he drank water…

He considered. He could not work for nothing as well, otherwise, the System would be the first to refuse.

‘Oh, I thought of something.’

Thus, he inculcated, “Sir, you’re being short-sighted again.”

The System wondered, “Why are you saying that? A Mythical-grade flying sword would have extraordinary power. It’s normal to kill monsters on a different level. That Inland-Sea level Spirit Bear wouldn’t be able to take even one hit.

“Just like those treasures in your ascension list, even ordinary disciples will be able to threaten a Golden Immortality Master.” 1

Fang Ning said, “I know that a Mythical-grade item must be very powerful, but think about it. This Heavenly Axiom stone monument is actually used to distribute Vitality to all clans. If we were to place it in our Morality City, don’t you think that those who want to climb the ladder must first come to us first?”

The System said, “That’s true.”

Fang Ning continued, “Then isn’t that great? In the future, we can watch the Divine Monument and collect entrance tickets. If it’s a righteous clan with good morality, or clans that are optimistic and like peace, we’ll let them go for free;

“If it’s those clans like demons or spirits that are evil by nature and they don’t have any special treasures, then we won’t allow them to enter, or you can just kill them. Oh, we can just leave this to the Dragon Carp. It has many years of experience guarding doors.

“Compared to your one-time use, isn’t this idea longer-lasting? If you were to melt it, although you’ll feel good about it now, you’ll never find another treasure with the same abilities in the future.”

The System was astonished, “Oh, you really have a long-term vision, Mr. Rich-man Host. Let’s do that then, you’re absolutely right.

“If I lack for any materials in the future, I can just ask others to bring it as their ticket price… Since clans from all over the world will come, we won’t have to worry about a lack of rare materials in the future anymore.”

Fang Ning quietly gave a thumbs up after hearing the System’s words. This idiot’s ability to infer other things from one fact is really getting stronger and stronger.
