The moment he finished his sentence, Vigilante A extended an arm and waved. Two greenish-purple Luxurious Monuments flew out.

At this instant, the skies started to change colors, wind and thunder started to rumble in all directions. All the ripples converged, forming a cage.

“Who goes there? How dare you mobilize the power of heaven and earth to trap me?!” In the empty space, a voice shouted angrily.

“Hmmph, you vile demon, you despise human lives and call yourself a god. Don’t you know all human lives matter? You who disrespect human lives doesn’t deserve to call yourself a god!” said Vigilante A coldly.

“Hahaha, nonsense! Peasant from the Lower Realm, you only know how to put your focus on humans, how ignorant! Heaven has existed long before humans do. What effect do you think the humans have? ‘Survival of the fittest’ is the rule that has been set down by the Heavenly Axiom. I’m high above them; I can decide their life and death in just a heartbeat. Lives are important? What a joke!” said the voice in the empty space indifferently.

In the System Space, Fang Ning first felt anger before falling into silence.

Between humans, their powers and intellect had no distinguishable difference.

When the powerless gathered, they would naturally grow stronger. With time, they deviated from nature and started to establish a center where everyone was equal, promoting the concept of life.

However, those who originated from the Upper Realm would absolutely not give a damn about this.

Among the numerous races in the Upper Realm, humans constituted a microscopic part.

Like the True Dragon and all the holy beings, there were little to none who originated from the humans, therefore the concept where human lives were precious eluded them.

They were long used to the Law of the Jungle. Even if the weak ones gathered in hundreds of millions, the strong could still eradicate them with a wave of their palm. Therefore, the Law of the Jungle grew stronger then.

The weak could only submit themselves to the will of the strong and become their only source of protection and survival.

Some kinder deities, like the Celestial Clan, were kind because of their nature and not because of the nurturing they received. For example, the giraffes had a special talent that encompassed extreme strength that even lions and leopards would not dare to offend. Yet, they were still tame.

Vigilante A stood in midair and stared at the empty space coldly.

That was the place where a certain villainous god hid.

“There’s a difference between the strong and the weak, while spirituality is unique to everyone; any being that possesses spirituality are equal. While the strong will weaken, the weak will rise up too. One day, if you become weak and get bullied by others who are stronger, what can you do?”

“Hahaha, if that day ever arrives, I naturally deserve it! However, I will definitely not let that happen!” said the villainous god savagely in the empty space.

“Hmm, then we shall see to it that it happens today!”

Vigilante A extended a finger, rushed forward, and pierced into the empty space!

Soon after, the empty space trembled violently. Lines of blood started to appear.

A shriek sounded, “This, this is Sky-Piercing Finger! How do you– ?”

After the shriek, it lapsed into complete silence.

After a long while, the System said disappointedly, “The fellow escaped…”

“Needless to say, I already saw the System Notification,” said Fang Ning, speechless.

System Notification: [The System utilized “Sky-Piercing Finger” to attack an unknown mysterious villainous god.

The villainous god received severe injuries and escaped.

The System received experience points worth 11.23 billion.

The System received the Reputation of Astronomical Figure.]

“Congratulations, even though we’ve defeated him, we still don’t know about his origins,” said the System regretfully.

“Are you dumb? Didn’t the River God just mention that he knew about his origins?” Fang Ning said in disbelief.

“Oh, oh, I was too busy preparing for the fight and forgot about this,” said the System dismally.

“However, I’m assuming that you won’t be able to find out. Otherwise, the River God would have told us long ago.” Fang Ning deduced.

“Damn, does he dare to hold a candle to the devil? If so, I should beat him up and let him know the difference between good and evil, and what goes around comes back around,” grumbled the System.

“Let’s ask first.”

At the moment, Vigilante A could not care about those Black Jade People who were busy panicking and running amok. He approached the huge lake.

“Are you here, River God?”

“Venerable One, I’m here.” In the middle of the lake, a small voice echoed softly.

“I’d been looking for this evil god for three days. Since you’ve been long aware of his origins, why didn’t you inform me earlier, so that we could have avoided this meaningless massacre?” Blame seeped out inconspicuously from Vigilante A’s words.

“Sigh, you have no idea, Venerable One. As the evil god has said, I suffer from severe injuries and am no longer his opponent. If I inform the Venerable One first, I will definitely be found out. The results from that would be severe and difficult for me to deal with. I can’t compare to a just and straight-forward Hero like the Venerable One. I just want to do my part and live out this lifetime peacefully, therefore I can only compromise and avoid the topic. I hereby apologize to the Venerable One.” The lake started to tremble continuously.

“So that’s the case. Senior, you don’t have to. Forget it, the blame’s all on my incompetence that made me unable to suppress this villainous god that so many lives are lost,” said Vigilante A while shaking his head.

“Sigh, at this point, since the Venerable One has chased away the villainous god, I’ll reveal his origins.”

“Senior, do tell.”

“He is none other than one of the Indian Trinity, the third among the Three Monsters of Gu Forest…” said the lake slowly.

“Is that so? I remember the legends from India, that the Trinity is considered kind gods. I didn’t expect the three peculiarities from the Upper Realm who attached themselves to be so cruel,” said Vigilante A while shaking his head.

“Uh, instead of calling them brutal and evil, let’s say that their opinion on the lesser races is similar to how a human child perceives ants, crickets, grasshoppers and the like… This is why they’re called the Evil Trinity,” explained the lake.

“Damn it, one day, I’ll show all the deities from the Upper Realm that they have to abide by the rules in our realm when they’re here and not belittle human lives,” said Vigilante A expressionlessly.

“You’re right, Venerable One. They can’t transfer their culture from the Upper Realm. After all, the Upper Realm is already facing a huge extinction crisis. This proves that their way isn’t sustainable and requires change.”

“You’re very wise indeed, River God Senior. Why did the old villain feel the need to entrust Black Jade People to eradicate the distant Earth Dragons? What does he have against them?”

“This,” The lake paused for a long while before saying, “perhaps it involves the fight between the godly forces. To tell you the truth, I was planning on subduing those Earth Dragons a few days ago but they refused. I didn’t think too much about it. But now, as I recall, this youngest among the Evil Trinity of Gu Forest was probably planning to sow discord and make other races think that it was my doing, subsequently destroying my prestige in this realm…”

“Hiss…It’s hard to believe there’s so much going on behind our backs.” Vigilante A was very shocked.

“Sigh, this is just one of the most common methods. In the Upper Realm, everyone was already used to it due to its high frequency of use,” said the lake nonchalantly instead.

“Hmmph, that’s where it’s wrong. Here, we do not take lives easily and we won’t simply kill. All these so-called powerful beings puppet other people’s lives so simply. After this, they’ll understand how far-fetched this idea is!” said Vigilante A in a serious tone.

“Hehe, Venerable One, you are just and fair; a piece of work among the powerful. You have my utter admiration.” The lake trembled.

“Eh, Mr. Rich Guy, is this fellow shading me?” the System asked dismally.

“No, he is really praising you here. You’re not just a piece of work among the powerful, but also in the system,” said Fang Ning with a straight face.

“Then, forget about it. But this fellow has long called us “brother” before, why did he suddenly change to “Venerable One”? Why did he become so humble suddenly?” The System continued to ask confusedly.

“Nonsense, he has been constantly in need of our help, of course he’d be humble. In the past, when we were the ones who needed him, he won’t act this way as well.” Fang Ning saw through it all. He understood that the River God was not a loyal servant, instead, he was a cunning slick who knew how to present himself.

“Oh, I see it now.” The System finally realized.
