21/07/2018, 9 AM. North Central in China, Kutabu Desert.

Thanks to the huge project of sealing the sand with plants and grasses, many areas in the desert were covered in turf or shrubs when viewed from the sky.

They intersected one another and were well-proportioned, forming neat green boxes, which looked like a huge chessboard laid down between heaven and earth.

In the center of the desert stood an ancient altar.

Nine steps built from marble led towards the heart of the high platform.

The high platform was empty.

Apart from the spotless marble surface, there was nothing else.

Stone tables, praying mats, such common arrangements for offerings were nowhere to be seen.

There was no sign of the three main poultry offerings, no fruits, and not even one altar of incense was present, let alone items of incense.

It was extremely simple, exceptionally dignified, and distinctly solemn.

China had held a sacrificial ceremony to summon the Dragon God to communicate with heaven and earth, and to inquire about the cause of abnormalities in the ocean’s tides.

In just three days’ time, the news had spread.

If it had been in the past, China would certainly have wanted to hold it in a low profile manner, where huge matters classified as such were only publicized afterward.

However, it was different this time; they wanted to hold it loftily.

Ren Ruofeng had asked Vigilante A about how certain he was about summoning the Dragon God, and what would need to be prepared.

Vigilante A only replied in confusion, “What do you mean? I’m only going to invite the Venerable Dragon out for a breather, it’s just a small matter, what needs to be prepared?”

Upon hearing that, Ren Ruofeng could not help but laugh; as expected, he and the other big shots from Truth Department had worried too much.

Although the Celestial Dragon was a different concept from the True Dragon in the Upper Realm, they probably belonged to the same clan. It was just that one was a theistic dragon in this realm, while the other was a natural dragon from the Upper Realm.

After he was sure of Vigilante A’s attitude, he immediately started to activate the power of publication and carried out the rally.

Without a doubt, the post publicization was steady and there were no mistakes, but there was an extremely regrettable problem. The publicizing resources were such a waste. They would lose the best opportunity to show the vast national capabilities in this new era.

How could the replay be as satisfying as the live stream? How could the live stream be better than watching it live?

There was a reason as to why such a huge number of football fans were willing to spend hundreds and thousands to watch a match live even if they had to travel a far distance.

Right now, countless “dragon” fans were rushing over all the way from everywhere in the world, as they made their way to the once infamous desert.

All of them had gone through stages of filtering and selections under the watch of loads of order maintenance personnel, according to sections and areas, standing around the high platform.

Amidst these people, there were white-haired elders and newborn babies who were carried over by their parents.

There were the rich, and those who were poverty-stricken.

There were tall and handsome ones, and short and ugly ones.

There were those who came from bustling cities, and those who came from all corners of the world.

Nonetheless, at this moment, all of them only carried one identity, which was “The Descendants of the Dragon”.

In the past, this was just a symbolization, many people never truly bothered with it.

That being said, in this new era where all sorts of calamities happened repeatedly, they had clearly understood after getting used to it for almost a year, – this identity of theirs that they barely thought about in the past, and which that they did not value much about, was in fact a truly powerful “amulet”.

That was right, never think highly of the Chinese people, but never think so lowly of them, either.

They were a group of commoners who wanted to live a peaceful life.

Without concrete benefits, empty promises would not make them sacrifice their lives, which was already proven by endless numbers of failed ambitious schemers in history.

In a peaceful era, they would have haggled over benefits and argued with one another.

When the country was faced with a crisis, they would instead walk on the battlefields with no regrets for the survival of their country, becoming one of the immeasurably cold figures.

In that instant, the place was dense and packed with movements of people’s heads looking from the sky above.

This desert was a full thirty thousand square kilometers, right now, almost every piece of land that was suitable to be stood upon was filled with gatherings of huge crowds.

This time round, a remarkably huge amount of armies were transferred over. They were already guarding around the desert since the beginning, following orders.

According to statistics, there were already more than thirty million people who had come to this desert in order to get the first-hand experience of witnessing the Dragon God…

In the history of humans, there was never once an event that was able to gather such a crowd at the same time.

On top of that, there was also not one organization that could do what China did, gathering this enormous crowd in such an orderly fashion.

Initially, the numbers were going to be larger, but the main communication line here had already been restricted.

The big crowds could only watch through television or internet broadcasts.

Other than on the high platform, there wasn’t a single staff member to be found within three thousand meters.

A few spots that were suitable for looking on the altar were already decorated with seats.

Some of the places were given to important members from different countries, while some others were mainly distributed to the media and reporters from all places.

All mainstream media in the whole world did not let go of the revelry of this breaking news.

If there was any mainstream media company that was not present, it was certainly because they “could not come”, and not because they were “not willing to come”…

Everyone knew the meaning of the “dragon totem”.

Although, for the whole year, the people had often seen a gigantic green dragon flying about in the sky, unequaled and tremendously savage.

Today, this dragon was significantly different from that one.

This was a local totem on earth, and it was one of the oldest totems in history.

The cultural, historical, and true significance contained in it had an impact on the mental state of the people of earth, beyond comparison by a dragon from different realms, regardless of the aspect.

Dragons from different realms and Vigilante A were below the high platform at this moment, seated on important spots within the audience seats. Due to the great occasion, everyone else had diverse expressions. They were either agitated, unwilling, or exciting.

Only Vigilante A had no expression whatsoever, as if he were attending an insignificant ceremony.

Around him, there were many important figures who would greet him from time to time, and just like they were serving a master, each of them had smiled of their faces and were cautious with their behavior.

These figures were all important figures from China.

All of them were worried if the ceremony would be able to be carried out smoothly and normally.

At this moment, everyone had the same benefit, they all hoped that the Dragon God would successfully appear, and after informing them of the cause of the catastrophe, would leave without a problem.

Nevertheless, nobody knew that the person who was most worried about whether the ceremony could be carried out normally was but Vigilante A’s… true identity himself, Fang Ning.

From the moment the ceremony started to warm up until he arrived and sat down, Fang Ning had been giving reminders repeatedly.

It was only an hour away from the ceremony, but he could not help but reminded the idiotic System.

“I’ll stress on this one last time, today is an extremely exceptional day, don’t show me any notifications like ‘The System is evaluating’, you must remember.”

Sir System said firmly, “I understand, don’t be so naggy, this is already the seventeenth time, you’re really affecting my meditation and training.”

Fang Ning was slightly relieved. He continued to organize languages and brewed his emotions, as he thought about how he would raise the questions later when he met the Dragon God.

Time was ticking away, in the past, it felt like time passed by very quickly.

This time, every second and minute felt like years for Fang Ning.

On one hand, it was because of man’s complex powers that made him impatient in summoning the Dragon God, he wanted to have a personal experience on the deep and vast powers;

On the other hand, he could not help but felt anxious and nervous as he was worried that he might make a mistake, and he wanted time to just stop at this instant.

All of a sudden, Sir System interrupted, “Look at you, your emotions are fluctuating so much, how can you summon the Dragon God? What a pity, I guess that if you’re able to summon the Dragon God like this, it’s because you’re specious, it’ll be good enough if you’re able to exert one percent of your powers.”

Fang Ning was speechless, he said, “Why do you bother? You can’t summon it anyway.”

Sir System said with sympathy, “It’ll be nice if I can seize the body of that Dragon God, according to the Maxim Notification, your strength is Pond-level now, you should be able to summon the Dragon God of Inland-Sea level.

“The profoundness of its power is hard to imagine. I think that many of the evildoers that go into extremely deep hiding now won’t be able to escape from the Dragon God.”

At once, Fang Ning became alert. “I’m warning you, don’t cause any trouble, wait conscientiously. This Dragon God is from my home, it doesn’t have the slightest relationship with a martial art System like you.”

While Sir System and Fang Ning conversed, many people were also discussing softly at the VIP seats occupied by core members from different countries.

“China is summoning the Dragon God? How confident do you think they are?”

“At least eighty percent if not ninety, it’s such a big occasion, how could they take such a risk?”

Upon hearing that, everyone nodded their heads one after another.

A few of the guests, who were somewhat in discord with China, looked terrible after seeing the situation, but they could not disagree to that point too.

Especially for those from Russia, India, Goguryeo and others who were personally beaten up by Vigilante a the green dragon, they looked awful.

Initially, somebody suggested not to invite them.

Despite that, Ren Ruofeng said, “If we don’t invite them, how can we show our demeanor of being a great and impressive country?”

In actual fact, everyone knew very well that it was a pleasant and satisfying feeling for one to flaunt in front of their enemies.

Nobody from these countries wanted to show up, but they could not be absent.

If they were absent, how could they observe the power of the dragon totem at the first timing? How could they adjust their plans then?

Russia was easier to deal with, they had already carried out a strategic retrenchment, which was caused by some outstanding issues from their battle against Vigilante A previously.

Owing to the current situation, owing to the contrast of strengths between both parties, they no longer want to stir up any sharp conflicts with China. After all, the ongoing situation was actually very threatening.

Later, there was information from the higher ranks in China that Russia intended to make “Cloud Fog City” area into their new buffer zone. As for whether Guifang was included, they had already washed their hands off that topic.

This was unimaginable for the Russians, who have always had serious local sensations.

Therefore, they did not reveal it through media or the internet, only a tacit agreement between both parties.

This also meant that while China sent people for business in these two large areas, they would not receive any obstruction from Russia’s official organizations.

Hence, at this very instant, no matter how dreadful the Russian looked, they only kept quiet and did not express their opinions.

A few Indian representatives sitting beside were totally different.

They were taking this opportunity to go around covertly and associated with those countries that were not on good terms with China as well. They were trying to once again establish their position as the head of the third world.

The situations in India and Russia were entirely different.

India’s land was fertile and flat. This made it seem like their total territory was far below China’s, but in reality, the arable areas were not bad at all. Besides, whether it was the weather or precipitation, their land was much more suitable for agriculture than China. At least they had better harvest, which most of the grain-producing areas in China could not compare.

Hence, they were able to cultivate a larger population. Their history was similarly long, and their potential was equally profound.

In the past, due to several internal issues, they had only been inching forward. India was repeatedly the victim when comparisons were made between the development of both parties, as they had no good cards with them.

Now that the new era had arrived, they took the lead in gaining favor from three almighty beings from the Upper Realm.

These three almighty beings drew on the renowned Trinity name in India’s myth, taking advantage of the situation to recruit disciples in India and to nurture successors.

With these three almighty beings as their backbone, the Indians became more confident. As long as they were given more time, they would definitely get rid of the age-old evil practices and break out at once.

Formerly, they indeed suffered some small losses from battling with this gigantic dragon from China for a couple of times, but so what if they did?

In spite of losing a few powerhouses, Indian had tens of billions of people. Their total population was almost surpassing China, they could just simply bring up a few more of those.

They did not need to suffer or put themselves in trouble anyway.

After instigating the gigantic dragon a few times, as usual, perhaps they had lost their image, but they had actually taken things that they should take.

Their external environment was also even better than China.

Whether it was Russia or America, or even the former Japan, they were all fond of them and had never treated them as their enemies.

Today, as China was going to summon the dragon totem, they attracted the attention of the whole world, millions of people arrived at the scene to participate in the ceremony.

The ceremony was massive, such that the notable atmosphere and attention gained from the people was definitely the first in history.

In accordance with this, they were the ones who were the most dissatisfied, most displeased, and the ones who wanted to ruin the ceremony the most.

For all that, they were not idiots, after all. It was just a thought, they would certainly not carry out any actions as such, and never even looked into any related schemes.

Of course, China wanted to summon the Dragon God to display their strength.

At the same time, the true purpose was to solve the abnormalities in the tides, and the danger from the catastrophe that was dawning upon earth.

Should there be anyone who would go against this,, the people of the country would already shoo them away before anyone else could act on it.

Since they could not carry out any physical actions to ruin it, they could only vent through their mouths.

Thus, an Indian representative said with a mocking tone, “China’s purpose in summoning the Dragon God is naturally a good one, but can they really communicate with the Dragon God?

“Although the people from China are evolving very quickly, they’re greedy for personal benefit. They’re faithless, and the reason they worship God is for personal gain, mostly to seek for something in return.

“I think their Dragon God isn’t even fond on this group of children, or else why are they only communicating with it now?

“Us Indians are different, every one of us is sincere and faithful to our gods, we even hand over our bodies, which is why we’re able to gain the favor of the three almighty gods.

“They then often gave us oracles and guided us. India is the true hope for humans.”

At the end of his words, this Indian representative expressed a holy sense of pride on his face.

Right then, a representative from a small country who had a wavering attitude said in confusion after hearing that, “If that’s the case, why didn’t India take the lead to pray and inquire Mahabrahma and the other almighty Gods about the cause of this catastrophe? Why are you waiting for the people from China to start the summoning of the Dragon God?”

Upon hearing him, the Indian representative was dumbfounded, he stammered, “Actually, we’re still preparing for that. It’s just that we’re not as grandiose as the Chinese, we’re carefully offering sacrifices and cautiously praying to the Gods, I believe that an oracle will be given to us in no time.”

The representative from that small country was dubious after he listened.

On the other hand, this Indian representative looked very ghastly, he quietly went around to the other side to sit, and never said a word anymore.

While it sounded like an unintentional question, had hit the Indians spot on.

Originally, the occurrence of the unusual tides made the higher ranks in India ecstatic.

They thought that it was the perfect time to display the powers of the Trinity, which was also an opportunity for the Indians to be in exaltation.

“Now, it’s time for us Indians to save the destiny of the whole world!”

This was the slogan that they had yet to send out.

Later on, they did not send it out because of the oracle given by the Trinity after the worship.

The content was – “The unusual tides and the waves in the oceans are a test from the Gods. As long as you have fearless bravery, a sincere heart, courageous spirit, and are not afraid of sacrifice, you’ll be able to get through this catastrophe” and so on…

After the worshipers heard that, they were stunned on the spot.

The Trinity was very clear with those words – Whether you’d like to die or not, we’re powerless to help…
