Ch. 2791..2800
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2791-Lufian was already reeling from his earlier collision with the God of Thunder Hammer when another devastating blow struck him.
A brilliant golden light pierced through his already grievously wounded body.
His injuries had already pushed him to the brink, and this new injury threatened to undermine his very foundation.
If he did not find somewhere to recuperate, there would soon be serious repercussions for his body.
He might never be able to make progress in the future.
This was something Lufian could not accept, no matter what.
He never expected the injuries to be more serious than the injuries he sustained when he fought the Robotias' Mother.
Both times, he was injured by partial Heavenly Overlords. This made Lufian question his own strength.
He was not that bothered by the Robotias' Mother. After all, it paid with its life.
This time, however, he was not only injured, but David was still standing there in front of him.
Moreover, he never managed to hurt David.
This entire time, he was just fighting with David's clones, and the opponent completely suppressed him.
No one would believe that a partial Heavenly Overlord could suppress a mighty Heavenly Overlord.
However, it did happen.
Lufian raised his head and looked in the direction of the last attack.
Then, Lufian witnessed one of David's clones wielding a golden bow, taking aim at him.
This was yet another weapon that posed a significant threat to him.
Lufian's body felt numb. The Evil-Splitting Sword, the hammer that could send him flying, and now this formidable golden bow - all three weapons had the potential to inflict significant damage on his body.
Lufian was a little skeptical.
Did David break into the tomb of an Almighty?
He was taking out new techniques and weapons, one after another.
If Lufian had them, his combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly improved.
Lufian knew he would not have a chance today.
He did not dare to continue fighting with David.
Even if he could risk everything and kill David, he would also suffer irreparable damage.
The consequences were something Lufian could not bear.
"Lufian, how do you feel about my God of Thunder Hammer and Sun Bow? Are you satisfied with them?" David chuckled.
With his cautious character, how could he expose his main form to Lufian?
This was all a plan from the beginning.
He would get Lufian to show up with his clones. Then, he would keep two more with him and secretly use the God of Thunder Hammer and Sun Bow to attack Lufian.
When David obtained these two weapons, most of their power was sealed away.
After he got it, he used the system to partially unlock its seal and restore some of the weapon's power, i The outcome was pretty obvious. 2 Whether it was the God of Thunder Hammer or the Sun Bow, they could easily hurt Lufian after part of the seal was released.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2792-They lived up to their names, indeed.
"David, I underestimated you! I thought that a mere partial Heavenly Overlord could not do anything to me, but unexpectedly, I was met with unexpected failure. David, you can be regarded as the strongest partial Heavenly Overlord even in the entire universe," Lufian sighed.
After his body was severely damaged, Lufian calmed down.
If he continued to rage, his body would be crippled.
'Thank you! To be honest, Lufian, I actually didn't expect you to force me to use all my trump cards. Although you are a Heavenly Overlord, you are just a beginner. According to my expectations, you should not be able to withstand the selfdetonation of my clones. In the end, not only did you survive, but you still have some strength left. I can't underestimate a Heavenly Overlord. This also reminded me that I must not be arrogant in the future. Otherwise, I might get killed if I'm not paying attention."
If what David said got out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation in all walks of life in the universe.
He might get overwhelmed by the criticism because the meaning behind his words was clear.
He was saying that a beginner Heavenly Overlord was not worthy of all his trump cards.
How dare a partial Heavenly Overlord look down on a real Heavenly Overlord?
No one would believe this, no matter where they were.
Even a beginner Heavenly Overlord was not someone a partial Heavenly Overlord could make rash comments about.
Lufian was enraged after hearing David's words.
However, he also knew that David was right.
If he had not experienced a huge surge in attack and defense after going berserk, he might not have been able to withstand the self-destruction of dozens of clones with his strength as a beginner Heavenly Overlord.
The power of a partial Heavenly Overlord's self-destruction was astonishing, let alone dozens of continuous selfdestructions.
"David, let’s end this, but don’t feel proud too soon because I will be back. I hope you will be ready by then. Let’s compete again and see how you, the number one partial Heavenly Overlord in the universe, can create a miracle and kill a Heavenly Overlord. If not, then I’m sorry. I won’t give you another chance to grow, and I will definitely kill you next time.” Lufian was about to leave and find a place to recover from his injuries first.
He had to recover before he left seclusion.
I he had fully healed from the injuries he suffered with the Robotias' Mother, he would have already killed David.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Gosh, Lufian, why are you doing this? Is it fun for you to be so violent? As the saying goes, It is better to squash enmity rather than keep it alive. Besides, there is no deep hatred between us, so there's no need for us to fight to the death. We all learned about each other's strengths in this battle, so no matter who survived in the end, he will also not have a good time. Lufian, what you should do is explore the vast universe and not limit yourself to Leila," David persuaded earnestly.
In fact, he was relieved when he heard Lufian saying he wanted to end the battle.
As for what Lufian said about giving a chance next time, David was just treating it as a joke.
If Lufian dared to attack him again, he would not hesitate to kill him.
Whether he could do that was beyond David's consideration.
Lufian could not even kill him when he was the partial Heavenly Overlord, so how could he if he became a Heavenly Overlord?
He was only one million lavish points short of improving his Body.
With David's current strength and identity, people would swarm over to bring him treasures if he said the word.
When he paid them, he would have all the lavish points he wanted.
He could have done this back then, but David was not that bothered by Lufian.
He thought that since Lufian was just a beginner Heavenly Overlord, his partial Heavenly Overlord strength and Level 6 Cloning were enough.
That was how Lufian got a second chance.
Otherwise, this battle would not have been so difficult if David paid more attention to Lufian.
At the end of the day, David was a little too proud.
It had been smooth sailing for him the entire time, and he had not experienced any setbacks.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2793-"David, stop talking nonsense! I don't need you to teach me how to do anything, and you stole my wife. Isn’t this a big feud? I will kill you! And after I get Elora, I will completely resolve my inner demon. Then, nothing will hold me down anymore, and I, Lufian, will be able to roam freely in this vast universe!" Lufian laughed as he spoke.
David shook his head helplessly on hearing this.
Since he did not want to do this the easy way, David would do this the hard way!
He would definitely take Lufian's life next time.
"Lufian, I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If you want to take my life, you have to be prepared to be killed. Besides, there's no relationship between you and Elora. It’s just your wishful thinking, so how did I steal your wife?"
"You want to kill me? David, I’m not afraid to tell you that you only had a chance because my injuries have not yet healed. You won't have a chance next time. If you hadn’t appeared, it wouldn't take long before Elora agreed to be with me.
This all happened because of you! You're the culprit!" Lufian snapped and became emotional again.
Initially, the five Leila rulers were doing well, and everything was improving.
However, the Robotias and the Soul Devourers came to cause trouble, and then David came to destroy his relationship with Elora.
As a result, things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
He, Lufian, was the real victim.
In the end, everyone stood against him.
"Whatever, but you have to think this through. If you come back to Leila to cause trouble next time, I will kill you." After David finished speaking, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
"Hahaha! You? How dare a mere partial Heavenly Overlord like you threaten me? If you can kill me, why don’t you kill me now? I think you've also reached your limit! David, you think too highly of yourself. Even if you have the three ancient weapons and a heaven-defying technique, you are still just a partial Heavenly Overlord. If I weren't afraid that my injuries would affect my future progress, I would kill you now.” Lufian laughed.
"Lufian, you're right. I have indeed reached my limit, but I'm afraid you can't kill me. Of course, you can risk everything and give it a try. After all, this is your last and best chance. If you miss it, you will not have it anymore."
"David, I told you this is the end of it. I will not attack you again, so you should live well. Enjoy your last moments.
When I come back after I've healed my injuries, it will be your death day. Before this, you can run away like a coward, but if you do this, Leila will disappear from the universe under my rage. It’s up to you," Lufian threatened.
He was afraid that David would leave Leila early.
If he did, where would he find David in the vast universe?
Once David became a Heavenly Overlord, it would be truly terrifying.
He had the top three Ancient Weapons, plus the heavendefying Cloning that would produce dozens of Heavenly Overlord clones that would self-destruct if they could not win the battle.
Who else could rival him if not the Almighty?
If David became a Heavenly Overlord, he would be almost invincible among other Heavenly Overlords.
Even peak Heavenly Overlords would not be able to defeat him.
Therefore, Lufian must kill David before he becomes a Heavenly Overlord.
Otherwise, no one would be able to restrain him.
So, the only way was to threaten David with Leila's entire being.
"I'll wait." David only replied with two simple words.
"Okay! We’ll meet again later! I hope you won’t run away then."
After Lufian finished speaking, he looked deeply at David as if to remember this person. Then he disappeared as his body turned into dots of starlight.
David stood where he was.
After he felt that Lufian had indeed left, he let out a long breath.
"Phew!"
The clone holding the Sun Bow dissipated, and the bow fell into his hands.
David put it away, together with the God of Thunder Hammer and the EvilSplitting Sword.
Then, David seemed to have lost all energy. He almost could not hold himself up.
The tearing pain in his brain caused him to gasp for air.
He was just pretending to be calm just now.
This battle was definitely the most difficult and dangerous one he had ever experienced.
He looked like he had the upper hand, and Lufian never once touched him, but only David, the person involved, knew the dangers involved.
Lufian was a true Heavenly Overlord.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2794-After he went berserk, his combat power was close to peak Heavenly Overlord Rank.
If David fought with such a peerless powerhouse, the consequences would be very serious if he was not careful.
David did not dare let Lufian get close to him.
His advantage lay in the number of clones, and he would win in quantity if he did not have the quality.
Fortunately, it was successful.
Although he did not win, he did not lose either. This was the best ending.
He did not have any physical injuries, but his mind power was in shambles.
After detonating dozens of clones, David’s mind power was seriously damaged.
Now, he just wanted to sleep and take a good rest.
However, not here.
Who could guarantee that Lufian would not come back?
David dragged his tired body and left.
As he walked, he summarized the gains and losses of this battle.
"Gosh, I was too careless," David sighed helplessly.
Who would have thought that just after Lufian stepped into Heavenly Overlord Rank, his combat power would reach peak Heavenly Overlord?
David never expected this.
Otherwise, he would never fight him as a partial Heavenly Overlord.
Now, he must find a way to break through to Heavenly Overlord Rank.
He needed more than one million lavish points to break through now.
However, it would be easy with David's current status.
He just needed to say the word, whether in Leila or the Spirit Cage.
He did not need to worry about exposing himself anymore.
So what if he exposed himself?
What if he did not?
Who else could harm him?
This battle was so tough only because he looked down on Lufian.
He originally thought that he was the only one who could do leapfrog challenges, but it turned out that Lufian could do it too.
He could abruptly improve his strength close to peak Heavenly Overlord Rank.
At the same time, David was also lucky.
It was good that he had a lot of different methods. Otherwise, he might have died in Lufian's hands.
He could become stronger, but in the end, he lost because of his carelessness.
It would be such a waste if he died and affected the other living creatures in Leila.
David would not be so stupid next time.
He would improve his strength after he had a good rest.
Improving his Body to Heavenly Overlord Rank was no longer his goal.
He must raise it to the limit, which was raising both his Mind and Body to Heavenly level 10. Then, he must also level up his Cloning.
This was the limit David could reach so far.
As for how he would get his lavish points, he only needed to say the word.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2795-David moved quickly and aimlessly into the void!
He just wanted to get away from where he fought Lufian.
The further away, the better, so that he would not be killed by the opponent.
Although this possibility was slim because Lufian was so seriously injured,
David's injuries would have serious repercussions if he did not treat them in
time.
Moreover, Lufian was very ambitious, so he would never accept this result.
Therefore, he would definitely find a place to recuperate quickly and then come
back to defeat David.
Yet, even so, David had to guard against it.
He would not allow that to happen.
As time passed, David felt that he could no longer hold on after he put down his
guard.
So, he sent a message to Sylvio.
[Sylvio, Lufian is seriously injured and has now left Leila. I don't think he will be
back in the meantime. I also need to find a place to recuperate, so don't worry!]
After reporting to Sylvio that he was safe, David closed his eyes. His mind
power was dormant as it recovered while his body was floating in the void.
It did not matter where he ended up.
With his partial Heavenly Overlord body, no one could breach his defense as
long as they were not an Overlord.
So, he did not need to worry about being discovered because even if someone
found him, they could not hurt him.
There were only a few Overlords in Leila, and Sylvio and others were on David's
side.
As long as Lufian did not find him, everything would be fine.
Soon, he would wake up again from his hibernation.
Very far away from David, Sylvio and others were gathering together, quietly
waiting for the outcome of the battle between David and Lufian.
Although the four of them looked calm, they were all very nervous on the inside.
The outcome of this battle would not only determine their lives but also the fate
of Leila as a whole.
If David won, everything would remain as usual.
Everyone could still live in peace and work happily in Leila.
However, if Lufian won, it would be Leila's nightmare.
No one knew how many living creatures would survive in the end.
Maybe from now on, Leila would no longer exist.
Of course, there was another possibility.
That was, both David and Lufian suffered losses.
This result was not good, but it was not bad either.
At least it would allow everyone to have more time to prepare.
Ding!
The sudden sound pulled the four people back to their senses.
Sylvio took a look and saw that it was his communication device.
When he saw that it was from David, his eyes shrank, and he quickly opened it.
Then, they heard David's voice.
"Sylvio, Lufian is seriously injured and has now left Leila. I don't think he will be
back in the meantime. I also need to find a place to recuperate, so don't worry!"
Upon hearing this, Sylvio and the others let out sighs of relief.
"Phew!"
They finally waited for a relatively acceptable result.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2796-Lufian was injured and had left, probably to recuperate.
David seemed to be seriously injured as well.
In the end, neither side won.
"Sylvio, ask where David is now. Is he seriously injured? Does he need help? I will go find him now," Elora asked worriedly.
"Okay, I'll ask him."
After Sylvio finished speaking, he called David back to ask him how and where he was.
However, he did not get a reply.
"Elora, don’t worry! Since David sent the message, he must still be alive. With his current strength, he will be able to recover as long as he's still alive. Let’s not disturb him and just wait patiently,” Sylvio comforted Elora.
"Okay, Sylvio, I understand. Don't worry! I'm fine. I have confidence in David."
Elora nodded.
In fact, she really wanted to find David.
At the end of the day, she was the one who caused this.
This only happened because of Lufian's hatred that stemmed from unrequited love.
Elora had always known how good Lufian was to her.
He even risked serious injuries to destroy the Robotias to avenge her, but Elora did not feel the same way toward Lufian.
No matter how good Lufian was to her, she was just touched by what he did.
Being touched was not a feeling, and the two things were not the same.
Yet, Lufian was right about one thing. After such a long period of hard work, Elora finally began to change for him.
Perhaps after a little while, they would have already become a couple.
However, at this time, David appeared in Elora’s life.
When her soul was damaged, and she became a little girl, he was always by her side. They were inseparable almost every day. This left a huge mark deep in Elora's heart.
Elora knew that the feeling David gave her was what she truly wanted, and this was something Lufian could never give her.
"Sylvio, who is David? Where did he come from? We can accept that he has the strength of a partial Heavenly Overlord, but he can cause both sides to suffer in a leapfrog challenge with Lufian. Although Lufian has just become a Heavenly Overlord, his strength will increase a lot after he goes berserk, and it's far beyond the beginner Heavenly Overlord Rank. Therefore, it is simply unimaginable that David can cross such a huge gap and seriously injure Lufian," Valentin could not hold himself back from asking.
Upon hearing Valentin's question, Drogo also became interested.
He wanted to know as well.
It was shocking that David had the strength of a partial Heavenly Overlord at such a young age. Even more amazing was that he could fight in a leapfrog challenge.
Moreover, this was not an ordinary leapfrog challenge.
Who did not know that there was an insurmountable gap between the partial Heavenly Overlord and the real Heavenly Overlord?
However, David shocked everyone and crossed that gap.
"Elora met David after her soul was damaged, and she went into The Spirit Cage. It was thanks to David's help that she was able to recover so quickly both times that her soul was damaged. As for where he came from, you don’t have to ask as it’s definitely not Leila," Sylvio explained.
"What is David, a partial Heavenly Overlord, doing in The Spirit Cage? Isn't The Spirit Cage only helpful for souls below Overlord Realm?"
"No clue. Anyway, all of this happened because Elora met him in The Spirit Cage. After Lufian merged his dual souls, he was like a time bomb that could detonate at any time. Even if he didn't detonate now, he would one day, and then he would plunge all of Leila's living creatures into misery. According to my guess, David's fate will give Leila a glimmer of hope."
"So David is the savior sent by Heaven to save Leila?"
"You can understand it that way!" Sylvio nodded.
Valentin and Drogo were stunned.
Since he was the savior sent by Heaven, it was understandable why he was so strong.
'That's the end of this matter. All of you should go back and continue your recovery. Especially you, Elora. You have just successfully restored your body and experienced the baptism of the catastrophe, so you will need some time to adapt to your new body. At the same time, we must also be prepared, as Lufian may come back at any time. Although we can’t do much to help David, we must deal with the aftermath for him."
"Understood!" Elora and the others replied at the same time.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2797-Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was three years later.
Leila remained as calm as ever.
Lufian had not been seen again since he suffered a heavy blow in the battle with
David three years ago.
David was nowhere to be seen either.
He was still floating in the void at this time. His spirit was still in a dormant state,
and he had not awakened.
This battle was indeed the toughest one after David obtained the system.
Although his body was intact, his spirit was riddled with holes.
So, he had to hibernate to recover.
As David's body floated past a primitive living planet, he was attracted by the
planet's gravity and slowly moved toward the strange planet.
The closer he got to the living planet, the greater the gravity and the faster
David's body plunged.
After being heated by friction with the atmosphere, David became a fireball.
All the clothes on his body were burned into ashes. ’
Woosh!
Finally, he fell into a lake on the strange planet, causing a huge splash.
When his ultra-high temperature body met the water in the lake, it accelerated
the rise of water vapor, causing the lake to become foggy.
Since it was late at night, David's arrival did not cause any sensation except for
the sound he made when he fell, which woke up the indigenous people around
the lake.
The next day, the fishermen realized something was wrong when they rowed
their boats to fish in the lake.
The water in the lake seemed to have decreased, and there were countless
dead fish, large and small, floating on it.
This scene shocked the fishermen.
They had been here for generations, and they all made a living by fishing, and
yet, they had never seen anything like this.
They had also never heard the older generation talk about this.
For these fishermen, fish was their lifeblood.
Only after catching fish could they take it to the market to exchange for some
necessary daily necessities.
Now that all the fish in the lake were dead, their way of life was cut off. Where
should they go from now on?
Some old fishermen could not accept this reality and knelt on the ground,
wailing loudly, "God, are you punishing our village? Why are you cutting off our
escape route? No one in Village Pescado has done anything harmful to nature
for generations, so why are you punishing us like this?
"Our village has always made a living from the fish in Lake Pescado, but now,
the fish are dead! God is determined to destroy our village!"
A sad atmosphere was looming in the air.
Although the young fishermen did not cry like the old fishermen, they had a
blank look in their eyes that said they had no idea what they were going to do in
their future.
They had made a living by fishing, but now that the fish were gone, they could
not continue doing this anymore.
Village Pescado was a small village on the edge of Lake Pescado.
The villagers had no farmland and made a living by fishing for generations.
In order to continue their posterity, they developed a series of fishing rules.
For example, when fish were spawning in large numbers, they should stop
fishing. If they caught a fish that did not meet the standard, they must release it.
Otherwise, they would lose their fishing qualifications.
It was these rules that allowed Lake Pescado to form a virtuous cycle of
development, and the fish in it had also nurtured generations of villagers.
However, the virtuous development was broken at this moment.
From the looks of it, all the fish, big or small, were all dead. Even if some were
alive, there were not many.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2798-This meant that the fishermen of Village Pescado would no longer be able to
catch fish.
Without fish, they would not be able to exchange other necessities of life.
The villagers of Village Pescado only knew how to fish and nothing else.
What happened at Lake Pescado quickly spread back to the village.
Then, an old man with a beard several centimeters long walked over with the
support of a young girl and his cane.
When he saw all the fish in the lake dead, the village chief of Village Pescado
burst into tears.
He knew exactly what this meant, but now was not the time to be sad.
There were more important things waiting for him.
Now that the fish were dead and the facts could not be changed, he must find a
way to remedy it.
The old man said to the girl next to him, "Peach, go get me a dead fish."
"Okay, Grandpa!"
The girl came to the lake, bent down, and picked up a dead fish weighing about
half a kilogram before returning to the
old man.
After the old man took the dead fish, he examined it and put it in front of his
nose to sniff it.
It was still fresh, and it did not smell.
Therefore, this could be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
They needed to preserve the dead fish as soon as possible so that the villagers
of Village Pescado could eat them for a long time.
The first thing to do now was to appease everyone, so the old man announced,
"Everyone, listen to me. This is a test God gave us, not a punishment. As long
as we pass this test, we will be able to venture on a brighter road."
The old man was the village chief and the most prestigious person in Village
Pescado. Therefore, the fishermen all became quiet when he spoke.
"Don’t be sad, everyone, and don't be discouraged! I just checked, and these
fish are still very fresh. Let's transport all the fish first. After processing the
internal organs, we can pickle them and preserve them. That way, it will be
enough for us to eat for a long time. As for losing Lake Pescado and how to
proceed in the future, don't worry. I will find a way."
Soon, everyone began transporting the deceased fish home, doing so in an
orderly manner.
Among the fish, there were small fry as well as larger ones, some weighing over
ten kilograms and even others reaching dozens or hundreds of kilograms,
necessitating the efforts of two people to carry them back.
The girl, Peach, supported the old man as they watched from the side.
"Grandpa, why did the fish in the lake die?" Peach asked curiously.
She was still young and did not quite understand what consequences the death
of the fish in Lake Pescado would have on Village Pescado.
The little girl figured that since everyone had to work so hard to fish every day,
wouldn't it be better if the fish could be delivered directly to their door instead of
fishing them?
"Maybe it has something to do with the noise in the middle of the night last
night," the old man replied.
"What happened last night? I didn’t hear anything." The little girl looked
confused.
She slept so soundly that she did not hear the sound.llen into the
lake and caused so many fish in the lake to die."
"Something fell in the lake? What?"
"We don’t know yet. After everyone transports all the fish back, we will see if we
can find anything. If not, we will row a boat to the middle of the lake to look for
it."
"Okay!"
The little girl's eyes were darting all over the place. Apparently, she was very
interested in the unknown.
One would be the most curious during one's teenage years.
A naked body floated in the center of Lake Pescado at this time.
It was David who had been floating in the void for three years and was attracted
by the gravity of this primitive living planet.
He still showed no sign of waking up, which showed how seriously damaged his
mind power was from the battle with Lufian.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2799-The planet where David landed was a relatively primitive planet called Planet
Gorgon.
There was no modern advanced technology on this planet, only the most
primitive living conditions.
Village Pescado was the most remote and backward small fishing village on
Planet Gorgon.
As the saying goes, if you lived near the mountains, you would make a living
from the mountain, and if you lived near the water, you would make a living from
the water.

The villagers here had relied on Lake Pescado for generations.
In fact. Lake Pescado was not called Lake Pescado before. It was just that the
villagers integrated their surnames into the name of the lake to declare their
sovereignty, and as a result, it was now called Lake Pescado.
As for the original name of Lake Pescado, no one knew.
The total population of Village Pescado was about a few thousand people, so it
was a medium-sized village on Planet Gorgon.
For a small fishing village that had relied on Lake Pescado for generations, the
fish in the lake were their life.
Now, due to unknown reasons, a lot of fish died. Although Village Pescado could
still live on these dead fish for a while, what would the villagers do as time went
by and they ate all the fish and had no more fish to catch?
Of course, they could only think about this in the future.
For now, Village Pescado had not been reduced to that level. 4
The large amount of preserved dead fish was enough for them to live
prosperously for a while.
There were thousands of people in the entire Village Pescado. Except for a few
babies and elderly who could not walk, almost all the others were helping to pick
up, slaughter, and pickle fish to prevent them from rotting, i
These dead fish were the guarantee of life in the future.
It took almost a whole day for everyone to clear all of the dead fish.
While they were handling the fish, the villagers of Village Pescado discovered a
very strange phenomenon.
All the dead fish were piled up on top of each other two or three meters away
from the lake. Yet, there were no fish beyond two or three meters.
It was as if a mysterious force was pushing the dead fish to the side of the lake
to convenience the fishermen.
That way, they did not need to take a boat to take back all the fish. 1
After working the entire day, everyone was exhausted, so they went to sleep
early.
In the evening, Peach came to the lake with her grandfather,
Village Chief Cy.
Looking at the calm lake, the old man, who was on the brink of death, was
devastated.
Before this, he would see a lot of fish jumping about in the lake when he took a
walk by the lake at this time.
Some would even go beyond the lake, but now there was nothing.
He had no idea if there were any surviving fish in the lake.
Even if there were, there were probably only a few fish that lived at the bottom
of the lake.
He could not catch that kind of fish at all.
"Grandpa, why are you crying? Do you feel unwell?" Peach asked nervously in
concern.
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about the future of Village Pescado," Cy replied.
"Even if we can't fish, we can still do other things!"
"Gosh, Peach, you are still young and don't understand the rules of this world.
Do you know why no other village comes to Lake Pescado to fish? It’s not that
they don’t want to, but that they can’t. It's because this place has become our
private property, so once someone comes, they will be desperately
counterattacked by all of the villagers. Similarly, we cannot rob other villages of
the resources they need to survive. Otherwise, the result will be the same," Cy
sighed and explained.
On this primitive living planet where survival resources were scarce, almost
every resource had an owner.
For example, the fish in Lake Pescado were one of them.
They would not dare plunder it as long as they were powerful enough to crush
others.
I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2800-f not, both sides would lose out.
Aside from the safe resources, some dangerous ones did not belong to anyone.
Hence, anyone could take them, for example, the beasts in the old-growth
forest.
However, once someone entered the old-growth forest, their life or death would
be unpredictable. Humans wanted to capture the beasts for food, and the
beasts also wanted to eat humans. Naturally, they were not as gentle as fish.
If one were not careful, they might become a beast's meal.
No one was willing to gamble with their life if they had a choice.
Therefore, C/s worries were not without reason.
Village Pescado had made a living by fishing for generations. So, it could also
be said that they knew nothing but fishing. 1
Letting them go to the old-growth forest to capture wild beasts would be asking
them to die.
Only people who had been living near the old-growth forest and had inherited
the hunting skills and experience of their ancestors from generation to
generation dared to venture into the forest to capture wild beasts.
However, even the most experienced hunters could not be absolutely safe.
"Grandpa, don't worry too much. Even if we don't steal other people's resources,
the world is so big, so there will always be a place for us," Peach comforted.
She was still young and had always been well protected by Cy. As a result, she
was naive and unaware of the dangers of this world.
"Hopefully!" Cy replied.
He knew his granddaughter’s character, so he stopped talking about this
because there was no way Peach could give him any good advice.
"Come on, let's row to the center of the lake to have a look."
"Okay, Grandpa!"
The two of them rowed the boat and slowly headed toward the center of Lake
Pescado.
Lake Pescado was not big.
Even if it was called a lake, it was actually just a larger fish pond.
Along the way, the lake was extremely calm. Apart from the ripples caused by
the oars paddling on the water, there was no other movement. This was
completely different from before.
"Grandpa, this lake is so quiet that it's scary," Peach said.
"Almost all of the fish and aquatic creatures are dead, so of course it's quiet," Cy
replied.
"Grandpa, what fell into the lake that caused so many fish to die?"
"I don't know yet! But if my guess is right, it should be a meteor."
"A star from the sky?” The little girl’s eyes immediately showed surprise.
A star fell into the lake?
Did it mean she could touch a star, then?
Girls had no resistance to beautiful things like stars.
"Not a star, a meteor! The two are different. According to some ancient
documents, the stars are huge and also very far away from us. Once they fall on
our planet, all living things on Planet Gorgon will perish, while meteors are rocks
floating outside the planet. They are very small, and they don't produce a lot of
force when they fall, just like what's happening now. Similar situations have
happened in other places before," Cy explained patiently.
He was not only the most prestigious person in Village Pescado but also the
most knowledgeable.
When he was young, Cy left Village Pescado to travel, so that was how he got
into contact with the wider world outside.
"I see! Grandpa, you know so much," the little girl praised while rowing the oar.
"I also learned this knowledge when I was studying abroad as a boy."
The grandfather and grandchild chatted with each other.
Suddenly, Peach shouted, "Grandpa, look! There is something ahead!"
