Above the air of the Truth Department Headquarters.

Vigilante A was standing mid-air and looking down.

Fang Ning can’t help but sigh. “So this is the truth… It looks like we have wrongly blamed Ren Ruofeng. This old man is a really good man.”

“Um, you did mention that there might be more than meets the eye, you were right. It’s just that this guy is too much of a coward, he does not know how powerful I really am… It’s all just a waste of effort,” Sir System said resentfully.

“You should be more humble. Oldman Ren is right, so what if you win this time? They can still send stronger people. They can afford to lose many times but we only need to lose one time and we will have lost everything. Once the Pharos of the East is gone, Earth would not be able to continue on the path of righteousness and would turn into a jungle society. Ren Ruofeng is an intelligent man, he won’t make such a mistake,” Fang Ning shook his head.

“Your reasoning is sound. It looks like I am still not strong enough…” Sir System said gloomily.

“Yes, so you should continue cultivating. That woman won’t be up to anything major temporarily.

“After all, she is different from those devils intent on destroying the world. Her methods are much more subtle. If I’m not wrong, she must have something to do with the change in Earth’s Heavenly Axiom. Otherwise, she won’t be able to control all the Vitality on Earth,” Fang Ning deduced.

“I’m depressed. Let’s forget about it. I’ll just train in isolation and kill a few monsters,” Sir System finally let this matter go.

Fang Ning was relieved. He was already afraid of Sir System doing things bluntly. Main characters in novels might be okay to do so, but not them, especially since they would not have the opportunity to start over.

He recalled Black Dog and ordered him to stop the search for the woman. Ever since being aware of Ren Ruofeng’s plans, he had no intention of going head to head with her.

Ren Ruofeng was right. There was still a long way to go and they should wait for Sir System to achieve greater heights…

Black Dog Brett was gloomy. His head was down as if he had been no help at all.

“Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not your fault. Your ability is, after all, quite a distance from the level of those immortals. You should return to Morality City to cultivate and achieve your abilities, then you won’t be as gloomy as today in the future,” Fang Ning consoled.

“I understand, Master,” Brett replied listlessly.

He then hopped onto the nearest Golden Train and returned to Morality City.

The subject of the decreasing Vitality has been momentarily put on hold. Fang Ning continued the research on creating life in the River of Blood while Sir System also continued with his cultivation. It seemed peaceful again.

However, the Vitality Flow continued moving. This matter that affected the whole world was not about to disappear just because Fang Ning did not care about it.

After half a month, signs of Vitality disappearing became much more obvious. There were many locations where detecting the existence of Vitality was impossible. If one did not cultivate the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique, they would not be able to use any of their abilities…

This strange phenomenon finally caught the media’s attention.

Everything was calm within China but the media outside the realm which included the print media and online media were starting to publish news on the situation.

“Disappearing Vitality? Is this end of a mysterious era?”

“Is this a natural phenomenon or a man-made conspiracy? Let’s take a closer look at the mystery.”

“We demand the truth!”

There were various demonstrations on the streets that went on continuously. Many who had benefitted from cultivation were unable to accept the fact that Vitality was suddenly disappearing. They were unable to face the situation both psychologically and physically.

The start of the Vitality era had brought on many dangers but it had also brought a lot of perks. The increase of strength within individuals had allowed them to gain great wealth and incomparable status within society.

Now that Vitality had suddenly vanished, this meant that everything would revert to square one. How would they take this lying down?

Fang Ning was already savvy with the truth and couldn’t care less, but the same could not be said for these people.

They would refuse to listen to any reasoning and would only care about their own welfare. They wanted to know the reason for the disappearing Vitality and to find out how to recover it.

…

At the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau of America, in the Chief’s office.

There was an emergency meeting in the office.

“Has the investigation revealed the truth of the matter?” A robotic voice emerged in the meeting. The source of the voice came from the host of the meeting, a middle-aged Caucasian.

He had a stiff-looking face, which looked quite different from a normal person but did not look anything like the robocops that are frequently seen in America. The latter still had a sense of something human in them, but not him.

“Yes, according to the research of more than ten Vitality Scientists that are supported with evidence of related information, we can confirm that the last known location of the Vitality Flow is China. Obviously, China is using its advanced technology to rob the Earth of its Vitality source,” reported an investigator.

“This is unacceptable, they have finally started to lay their hands on the Vitality!” someone couldn’t repress the rage.

As Americans, they were quite familiar with this act. In the past, they had used their advantage in weaponry to control the international petrol industry. China was now copying the same methods they had used.

However, they were just controlling the market by fostering power and were not as ruthless as China, who wanted the rob the Earth of all Vitality.

Naturally, they were furious. This is something that only should be done by America, how could China take this advantage?

“Is there any way to stop them?” The robotic voice continued to ask.

“It would be difficult. We have yet to find out the basic theory behind the Vitality Flow, which makes it hard to stop it. The only thing we can confirm is that the reports have indicated that many of the realms are not affected. The realms are able to absorb the Vitality for their own use, the Vitality concentration there are not decreasing like many of the outer worlds,” continued the investigator.

“I see, the realms are the key. Damn it, we were the ones that discovered the realm yet it was taken from us by them,” the middle-aged Caucasian’s robotic voice betrayed his emotions as he said hatefully.

The meeting went into silence.

The Special Affairs Investigation Bureau of America was facing great pressure after losing the Land of Sanguinity. Politicians were starting to question their abilities.

At the moment, a new realm department was being established. None of the members involved were connected to the bureau.

It was obvious that they had lost the trust of their superiors. Most of the resources would be allocated to this new realm department.

“Chief, why don’t we use our abilities to control these politicians and get them to protest against China?” someone suggested.

“No. With that person around, this is as good as signing our death warrant. Otherwise, I would have done it long ago,” the middle-aged Caucasian rejected the suggestion.

“But if we don’t use any abilities, those cowardly politicians who are fearful of China’s powerhouses would just ignore our reports even if we submit them and choose to avoid trouble,” someone said bitterly.

“Don’t worry. I have a good idea. Contact the media, we are about to create a war of justice,” Chief Hook said coldly.

It was thanks to Vigilante A that he would not have become this thing. If it was not for the help of that person, he would not have survived.

Now, he was about to teach him a lesson and let him learn that justice is just a shield and nothing much but shackles.
