After some time had pa.s.sed, Mount Everest was filled with numerous howlings.

“Let us go…”

“Release us.”

“G.o.d, please pardon us.”

“Stop!” Vigilante A said coldly. “Otherwise I’ll exterminate you to ashes and make sure you never escape from eternal d.a.m.nation!”

“I’ve already said that I’d changed the environment of the earth, there’s no use killing me. They’d stop suffering after an hour, and it’ll happen again every year as long as they’re still here,” the figure in black shook his head.

Vigilante A glared at him furiously.

Bodhisattva Spirit King said earnestly, “The migration’s a huge matter and it’d take time. I think it’s better for G.o.d of Plagues to allow us more time to deal with it. Why don’t you postpone the bacteria attack for a few hundred years?”

“Alright. I’m not that unreasonable anyway, but a few hundred years is too long, thirty years would do. I’ll also help you to build a new planet as the place of migration to compensate the human beings,” the figure in black was willing to compromise unexpectedly.

Fang Ning had mixed feelings about it. The past hour seemed to pa.s.s by briefly but he was totally aware of the pain that humans just went through!

That was one of the consequences of wors.h.i.+pping the G.o.ds.

Some people complained about how pointless it was to pray to the G.o.ds, but they did not know that if the G.o.ds really listened to their prayers and fulfilled them, it would not necessarily be a good thing.

During the older days of the technology era, at least human beings were still in charge of their own fate, but it was almost impossible now.

“d.a.m.n it! He’s so brazen, he’s oppressing the weak just because he’s incapable of fighting against me. All these G.o.ds really don’t have any sense of shame!” the System was furious.

“They’re wise and crafty. They’re not like those bosses

who are waiting to be farmed. A war between two parties is a fight for interests and gains, of course they’re willing to use the most extreme ways if needed. Our strength is our determination to serve justice, our weakness is our determination in preventing the innocents from being harmed in all situations. They’re using our weakness against us,” Fang Ning felt helpless.

“What should we do now?” the System asked.

Fang Ning slammed his hands on the table, “We can only endure for now. Wait until we govern the place in the future, then only we can reclaim everything that was ours.”

“I’m going to turn them into sandbags sooner or later!” the System solemnly swore.

“Now the G.o.ds and deities of the Upper Realm have a common interest in invading this realm. When they descend, they’d be in conflict and start to fight for territory. Once we have stabilized our home front, we’d start to attack them one by one,” Fang Ning came up with a strategy.

Concessions needed to be made to march forward for better progress. A s.h.i.+ft in plans was an essential part of developing a strategy.

There was a wide disparity between the powers of both parties. The weapons developed using human technology would not be effective in fighting the G.o.ds. They could just s.h.i.+ft into the state of void and immunized themselves against any physical and chemical attacks.

On the contrary, the body double of G.o.d of Plagues could quickly discover the fatal weakness of human beings and the weak links in the biological chain of the earth only in the span of a few days. He even used his own divine powers to directly attack the earth.

During the Vitality Era, the time for humans to develop was too short. They could only compromise for now in exchange for the time and s.p.a.ce to develop themselves, only then they could have a chance of survival.

If they insisted, they might face complete destruction.

There was a historical precedent of this.

“It’s not up to us to decide. Just like what I’ve said, I can’t represent humans. It’s completely up to the human beings to decide,” Fang Ning said at last.

“I understand. I’d never become Li HongZhang

. I understand human beings better than you think, humans are ungrateful beings who only hold grudges, never mind how many good deeds I’ve done before. If I signed the pact of humans and G.o.ds, I’ll leave a foul reputation for thousand years to come,” the System said bitterly.

“I’m the type of person who distinguishes clearly between a benefactor and an enemy. I still remember all the kindness you’ve shown me. You can’t paint everyone with the same brush,” Fang Ning felt wronged.

“No, you’re actually the perfect example. You are where you are today because you were seized by me, but you always go against me,” the System was indignant.

“You’re simply accusing me again. I’ve put a lot of thought in helping you to grow your powers. How could you say something like that?” Fang Ning said depressingly.

“Well, I was wrong. We’re still on the same boat after all. I’ll leave today’s matter to Ren Ruofeng to handle,” the System made a decision.

“Alright, then that’s settled,” Fang Ning habitually dodged the responsibility.

…

Several hours later, those in power who could decide the fate of the nations gathered on Mount Everest. To Fang Ning’s surprise, they made the decision quickly, as if it had already been made earlier. The pact between humans and G.o.ds proposed by G.o.d of Plagues was accepted in its entirety, and the thirty years’ time limit for migration was accepted. They even thanked G.o.d of Plagues for helping in the reformation of a new planet and for acting as a mediator.

Even the Dragon G.o.d who had been standing on the humans’ side all along expressed his most heartfelt grat.i.tude. There was not a trace of discontent, nor a hint of regret. It seemed that the result was way better than what they expected.

The representatives of China, America, India, Europe, and the other smaller countries agreed to it unanimously without any dispute.

“Sure enough, there are more foolish superordinates in the movies and less of them in reality,” Fang Ning declared.

“They’re very clever, they only talk on nothing and never give us any benefits,” the System said bitterly.

“Rest a.s.sured that you’ll always be involved when there are benefits. As long as humans are alive, that’s our biggest gain. They play a huge role in The Morality City and the Land of Sanguinity,” Fang Ning said.

The pact between G.o.ds and humans were officially agreed.

Blood was smeared as a token of the oath. The heavens and the earth trembled.

A real new age was dawning.

…

Back in Vigilante A’s farm villa, Fang Ning was lying down on the bed carefreely, he could finally rest at ease for two days. After the pact between G.o.ds and humans, the threats he previously faced from the G.o.ds were gone for now, and the conflicts had taken a back seat.

“Richie, were our efforts in building the checkpoint in s.p.a.ce Pa.s.sage all in vain now?” the System suddenly thought of something.

“You’re wrong. The G.o.ds were willing to compromise because we blocked the s.p.a.ce Pa.s.sage, they even gave us a time limit of thirty years to migrate. Otherwise, when all the G.o.ds descend, our advantage in one-on-one battles would be pointless and humans would’ve turned into their slaves. The only part we miscalculated was that even a weak body double that pa.s.sed through the s.p.a.ce Pa.s.sage could have the ability to threaten the entire human race,” Fang Ning sighed.

“What should we do next?”

“Build higher walls, store up grain reserves, and claim the throne in due time.”

“We should just endure for now…”

“You’re ignorant.”

“You’re pretentious.”

…

In the Headquarter Base of Truth Department.

“Fortunately, the worst situation didn’t happen. After all, we managed to avoid doomsday, time was given for migration to take place and a.s.sistance would be provided. All thanks to the deterrence of the Venerable One,” Ren RuoFeng was glad.

“That’s right, I guess this is the second best scenario to them,” Director Hu nodded and loosened his frown.

How could humans oppose the G.o.ds? It could only be a fantasy.

In the harsh reality, the existence of a real G.o.d could be devastating. Just like in science-fiction novels, human beings were no different from insects in the face of an advanced civilization.

Now they could still have the opportunity to survive and develop, the outcome was still favorable to them.

Asking for G.o.ds and humans to be equal and keeping the ancestral lands on earth was apparently impossible.

At the very least, the Venerable One had managed to keep the Pond-level masters on earth. Their hometown would not be completely taken over and be filled with demons.
