A group of scholars was standing under the Tower of Babel, looking up. Although the Divine Monument seemed far away, it was right in front of them. Was this not a miracle? What could it be?
"What, there's an octopus race?"
"Yes, they're just a bunch of beasts. How can they be compared to us humans?"
"Their potential index is actually higher than ours? This is absolutely impossible! "
The group of scholars pointed and discussed, full of astonishment and disbelief.
However, no matter how unbelievable they were, everyone knew that the Tower of Babel was directly connected to the will of the heavens. It was impossible for anyone to fake it, so there really was an octopus race.
At this moment, a few people dressed in rich clothes, but their faces were frosty, suddenly mocking them.
"Hehe, scholars, we've seen these octopus people before. They're very stupid, and indeed can't be compared to us humans." A rich man shook his head.
"Yes, look at the silk we're wearing. They were all exchanged for by these stupid octopuses." Another rich man echoed.
Obviously, they were very proud to be able to show off in front of a few scholars. When their material needs were solved, people had spiritual needs.
"Gentlemen, can you tell us in detail?" A few scholars immediately became interested and gathered around.
"Of course. I remember that a few months ago, those octopus people did business with us. We only sold them a few rotten pieces of wood in exchange for a lot of high-quality pearls."
"Oh, if that's the case, then they're really stupid and rich. It's probably because the sea doesn't produce wood, so the rarer something is, the more expensive it is." A scholar nodded.
The few rich men looked at each other and smiled, then left with their hands behind their backs.
"If that's the case, should we also tell our families and let them trade with these octopuses? After all, we can't miss this opportunity." A scholar was tempted.
"Let's go together."
Not too far away from them, Fang Ning heard all of these comments.
Of course, he wanted to see how the response was when the Divine Monument reappeared.
Now it seemed that many people did not take it seriously and did not know the importance of this. They only saw it as an opportunity to make money, and even thought that the octopuses were easy to deceive.
They had no idea that on the original Earth, octopuses could rely on their instincts to display astonishing intelligence without a clear consciousness.
Now that they had a clear consciousness, they had the same subjective initiative as humans. If humans wanted to crush the food chain like they did on Earth in his previous life, it would be a joke.
Fang Ning patrolled the area and returned to the Prime Minister's Residence. He asked the System, "Do you still have the game interface?"
"The newborns are all gone. Only those whose souls are indestructible remain. After all, they need to accumulate knowledge." Sir System explained.
"Alright, that's good too. Once there are too many things, people won't treasure them anymore. I can't believe they created such a bullying gang." Fang Ning expressed his acceptance of the current situation.
"You don't have anything to do now, do you?" Sir System asked.
"I … I still have things to do. Don't I have to go shopping every day?" Fang Ning stammered.
"Get lost. I don't need you to worry about this. I know everything in this world. Why don't you go to the Chaotic World and help me? Didn't you get a Golden Retriever last time? This time, you can go and get the Mortal Monument for me. "Sir System said righteously.
"But the risk is not small." Fang Ning did not want to leave his comfort zone.
"Stop talking nonsense. I still have tens of thousands of Heavenly Merit Points in the Chaotic World. You still have the new Merit Points from assisting in childbirth. They won't do anything to you. Don't make me do it. Be more active. "Sir System forced.
"Didn't you say you'll call me when it's born?" Fang Ning said helplessly.
"That's because I suddenly remembered that if you don't go and be my eyes and ears, I won't know when it's born." Sir System said righteously.
"…" Fang Ning was dumbfounded.
"Hurry up and go. Besides, you can use your Virgin Mary ideals on the Old World. Reduce their aggressive expansion and make them peaceful. That way, I'll be much safer." Sir System said plausibly.
"Sigh, son of a b * tch, you really know how to divert trouble."
"Yes, you're that scoop of trouble."
…
The Chaotic World.
Vigilante A returned once again. This time, he did not come alone. He started with a dog and a book.
Since the black dog was temporarily useless, it was sent over.
Now that it was also a celestial dog, its combat power was strong. Although it was limited by this world, its iron bones were equivalent to a strengthened version of a mechanical dog. In this low-magic world, it was even more powerful.
Fang Ning looked around and saw a small river nearby. The river murmured and a group of fishermen were fishing on the river.
"I don't know when the Mortal Monument will be born. Oh right, System No. 2, do you know where Gu Buwei of the Azure Mountain is? Finding the two monuments last time was related to him. He can't be dead now, right? "Fang Ning asked.
"No, on the digitized Earth, there's no arcane realm of the Azure Mountain. They might have escaped this calamity and are hiding in this Chaotic World." System No. 2 speculated.
"If this is true, then this group of people is really tough." Fang Ning was impressed.
Many great gods had fallen. If a small sect like theirs could survive the chaos, then the ancestor of the Azure Mountain was really something. Maybe he could even become a god.
As for becoming a saint, that was unlikely. There were only a few positions and a bunch of people watching. The Heavenly Axiom above was not stupid and would not repeat the same mistake.
However, he wanted to build a world of love and justice. The Heavenly Axiom of this world would not directly oppose it. After all, this was also the mainstream idea of the development in his past life. It might not be able to identify the hidden pitfalls.
Thinking of this, Fang Ning had another plan.
Thus, he shook his body and changed into a pure white Taoist robe. At first glance, he looked like he had a compassionate temperament.
He came to the river and walked towards the group of fishermen.
"Good Believers, this humble Taoist greets you." After he bowed, he said politely.
"Sigh, master, I wonder what business do you have with me?" One of the fishermen's leader asked doubtfully.
"Hehe, this humble Taoist once lived deep in the mountains and cultivated for hundreds of years. Today, I came out of the mountains to practice Taoism." Fang Ning said lightly.
"Oh, then you don't have to look for us." The fishermen's leader said coldly, "The village's Old Master Wang loves to worship you Taoists and monks. Go north along this river and our village is ten miles away."
The other fishermen also looked at him coldly.
Fang Ning was slightly surprised, but then he understood that there must be bullying involved. He had seen this too many times and was already used to it.
Just like the Taoist Palace of the Upper Realm, they often bullied the ignorant civilians together with the village gentry.
"This humble Taoist's path is different. It's not the path of immortality, but the path of benevolence and helping the suffering." Fang Ning said pretentiously.
"Uh, Master System, you're just like what the original body said. How hypocritical." System No. 2 suddenly said.
"What do you mean? I see that you seem to have self-awareness. I'll let your System Daddy check you out when we get back. "Fang Ning immediately threatened.
"Uh, I'm not, I didn't. Master, you did well. "System No. 2 immediately changed its words.
"That's more like it. I've always been a good person. Even if you have self-awareness, I won't destroy you. However, your System Daddy won't be able to tolerate your existence. You have to understand the difference between the two of us." Fang Ning persuaded patiently.
"Understood, I'll listen to you." System No. 2 said honestly.
"That's more like it. The Black Dog and the Heavenly Book baby are examples for you to learn from."
At this moment, the fishermen seemed to be stunned. Each of them had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"You're not lying to us, are you?"
"Don't worry, this humble Taoist has been studying since young. I won't lie to you."
