The Sahara Desert in Africa.
Hot weather, drought, poverty, a forbidden zone for life.
There was a piece of a sandhill though, that had a huge greenhouse built on it. The length was 30km with a width of 20km and was 100 meters tall.
Such a huge construction was unimaginable with past technology.
Well, not impossible but too expensive. No country will invest finance and people on such a building.
This huge greenhouse was where the Biosphere Plan started.
Fang Ning had just come into a huge batch of cheap labor but has yet to carefully transfer them to the various property. This was because Sir System had forced him into labor by supervising the God of Plagues.
Sir System was naturally busy with cultivating abilities and skills at the time.
The God of Plagues had wanted to give help to Earth by giving a hand with the Biosphere Plan. Though really, who would believe him?
He had previously displayed no care for human lives and had treated humans with utter disregard.
Under such circumstances, the only way to stop him from conspiring against humans was to get someone who could keep him under control.
The most suitable candidate was Vigilante A.
Of course, Vigilante A was working for free. A huge batch of resources was transported to China and later transferred into the hands of Butler Zhang, who eventually kept everything into the Draconic Arcane Realm.
The move was in 30 years’ time anyway. Even though there was still trepidation on causing overdevelopment, but whatever can be mined or harvested were taken care of and there was a huge surge in various resources. Of course, these actions would pay the price of sacrificing future development.
Since he had already accepted the goods and Fang Ning had coincidentally decided to work hard, Sir System took the opportunity to let him take over the body.
Fang Ning did not need to do much anyway, all he needed to do was to give the God of Plagues a good scare.
Fang Ning was in the mood for work, which was why he did not reject the job but took it as an opportunity to train properly.
The God of Plagues may be as good as rubbish, but he was after all, still a god. He would be able to help Fang Ning gain experience in handling those gods.
Fang Ning wanted to make a summary of their actions and thoughts.
After all, man’s work had always included the presence of gods, but some were stupid, some were arrogant, some were prideful, some were despicable, somewhere were cruel. What they had in common, were their immensely high level of power.
Some gods boasted of being all-knowing, but according to Fang Ning’s research, even the Upper Realm sages had not made such a claim.
They were obviously aware that it would somehow fall apart and end up giving them a negative image instead.
Only ignorant humans would treat the gods as all-knowing.
Fang Ning came to the outskirts of the huge greenhouse. There were two rows of high officials from various countries waiting to greet him.
The gate, which was made entirely out of glass, reflected brightly under the sun as if representing the future hope of mankind.
He was welcomed by a marching band and walked on red carpet… It looked a little ridiculous in the middle of the desert but there was a sense of an imposing atmosphere that gave a lot of prestige to the guest.
Far within the greenhouse, a shadow was moving around without looking at his direction.
Fang Ning gave a glance and clearly saw the God of Plagues.
An official started to give an introduction, “Your Excellency The True Dragon, this is the lead designer in the Biosphere Plan, Dr. Edison. He was in charge of the Biosphere Plan Number 2 and has rich experience…”
Fang Ning reached out and shook hands with the white-haired professor.
Dr. Edison was grim as he pointed to a part of the huge greenhouse and said, “Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Your Excellency The True Dragon. The Biosphere Plan directly affects the success of mankind’s migration. The difference of the experiments here from others is that even if the rate for failure is high, it will only do damage a small part at failure. If there is even a minor fault in the final results of the Biosphere Plan, there is a possibility of the extinction of mankind among the stars. That is why all the researchers here are under high pressure, many of whom have contracted mental illnesses, causing the progress to slow down.”
He was indeed a true researcher for reporting bad news instead of good and was definitely not an official.
Fang Ning nodded, “Don’t worry. If such a situation occurs, I will be there to temporary move everyone back here until the technology is perfected.”
This was, of course, quite a tormenting situation, but the advancement of science was nothing but enduring torment.
These people who were not fond of trouble have failed in the face of science.
…
“Let’s take a look inside.”
Fang Ning patiently met every member of the team and followed Dr. Edison into the greenhouse.
“Humans are indeed a pointless bunch, still wasting time on such extravagance at a time like this,” a sarcastic voice was immediately heard at the entry of the greenhouse.
Everyone’s turned pale yet no one dared to say anything.
The voice belonged to a god, after all.
Although he did not have a nice name, the Celestial Aura he had performed previously had everyone convinced to the fact that humans are completely vulnerable against them.
They did not need much effort to attack humans. All they needed to do was to gently disturb the Earth’s biological chain to cause the immediate extinction of mankind.
This was the power of the Celestial Aura.
No one dared to voice out, Fang Ning was the only one to casually say, “Now that you mention this, all of you pathetic gods are the ones who favor extravagance. Every one of you is decadent and corrupt. Take a look at the Upper Realm’s history, there is no change in society. It is exactly the same as a hundred thousand years ago. All you gods are indeed about extravagance.”
“Hmph, stop it with your cheeky words. The Upper Realm was able to maintain a billion years of stability with what they did. How can you mere humans understand the planning of a sage? If there were changes everyday like what you are doing, there would be no stable order of power and the Upper Realm would have collapsed instead of still standing to this day,” argued the dark shadow.
His reasons sounded solid to the others, but Fang Ning was aware of what really was going on and knew that the God of Plague was feeling guilty.
The Upper Realm was perishing because of these corrupt gods. They were in charge of the orders of Heaven and Earth, stopping many changes of events from happening in order to maintain the benefits they enjoyed. They were able to remain up in the heavens to enjoy their status and immortality.
It was considered destiny that predecessors who came to massive power would use the power conservatively.
However, it was also destiny that the fortunes would turn in Heaven and Earth. When changes become less, there would not be a chance for something new to emerge and at the end, it was only natural to die away.
“Hmph, truth or lies, reality or hallucination, good or bad, you gods with self-proclaimed wisdom would know best. All of you are smart enough to create a situation to use earth and escape from the catastrophe of being perished. However, if you are do not make some changes, there will be no second chance,” Fang Ning replied coldly.
He had looked through the information these few days and have slowly grasped the whole situation. Many unsolved mysteries were slowly revealing their truths.
“You can stop worrying about us and worry about the state of humans instead. It’s still uncertain if mankind can continue another ten thousand years of civilization,” said the dark shadow with disdain.
“You don’t need to worry about us, either. Mankind has always had a talent for survival, the fire of civilization will continue to be passed down to generations. It may be weak, but it will become stronger,” Fang Ning replied firmly.
“Hmph, let’s see how things turn out,” the dark shadow stopped talking and continued with his work.
Fang Ning ignored his last words and continued his inspection.
Once there was a distance, Dr. Edison asked in a low voice, “Your Excellency The True Dragon, aren’t you worried he will take his revenge after berating him and affect our plan?”
“Hoho, don’t worry. These gods are best at weighing their benefits and won’t be easily disturbed by emotions. He wouldn’t risk a catastrophe in the future by creating trouble for something he had promised to do. My presence today serves to remind him of this. Someone would need to supervise and punish him accordingly,” Fang Ning said confidently.
“I see,” everyone looked at Vigilante A with admiration.
It was true that only supervision would be able to prevent power abuse, otherwise, the bigger the power, the bigger the disaster.
Among humans right now, the only one who was able to keep these gods in line was this person.
Even though it was just one person, but it was enough to bring unlimited hope.
