Chapter 3089: Chapter 2288 Displacement

Chapter 2288 Displacement

Drake scratched his head with a wry smile.

"You-!" Davis pointed his finger at Drake, "What happened to the people on Earth? Is the Earth still even there?"

"Ah… don't be so angry." Drake neared Davis while gesturing for him to calm down, "Nothing happened to them."

Davis made a bewildered expression. After all, if the sun was destroyed, how could the people of Earth survive. The supernova itself would've roasted them alive and the resulting changes, and radiation would not let them live.

"What do you mean?"

"When I said that I caused the destruction of the Earth's sun, I only meant I have hastened its transformation into a dwarf star without it becoming a red giant as I have absorbed its core energy."

As Drake smiled, Davis unamusedly stared at him, knowing that he had done this to make him falter on purpose.

"You really need a beating…"

Drake nodded repeatedly, "But bro, I really need your help. I mean, I absorbed the power of our sun, and now its life is waning. Scientists predict that only a thousand years remain until Earth becomes an arctic planet devoid of life, but I predict that prediction is bullshit. I know that only the rich are trying to escape to outer space as things have already turned worse there, but I've provided the planet my yang energy, allowing it to stay afloat with warmth day and night."

Davis realized that Drake had made some amendments to his mistake, but then he still couldn't help but get angry.

"Are you crazy? Why didn't you go to the nearest star and absorb it?"

"How can I?" Drake gawked, "The nearest star is Proxima Centauri! The distance from our star to the nearest star alone is four point two light years, in other words, forty trillion kilometers. You understand? 40,000,000,000,000 kilometers, I say! If I get stranded or met with some kind of mishap, who's going to save me!? Not to mention the time wasted traveling so far!"

Davis went speechless at Drake's shamelessness yet not entirely unfounded worries.

Nonetheless, because he knew some shit like this would happen, he didn't touch the star of Earth's solar system, and neither did he go plunder other planets. Although he knew that he may not find any resources stronger than Earth Grade, the other planets still had phenomenons like terrific winds, mountainous pressure, and a frigid or poisonous atmosphere which could be used to comprehend many Laws, although he doubted if it was helpful as the level of the insight could be low.

There were also the rock, ice, and molten cores of the planets that could very well reach Sky, King, or Emperor Grade in value. He didn't know what kind of energy these cores held, so he couldn't make an accurate prediction, but he imagined that the stars and the planet cores were treasures of their own.

Even then, the only reason that he didn't touch anything was because Fallen Heaven was sealed somewhere in or near Earth, and if he disturbed something and caused an unstoppable collapse of the Third Layer, he wouldn't know what to do, but Drake just went ahead and absorbed the power of the sun, placing billions of people on Earth in jeopardy.

"Believe me. I didn't mean for it to happen."

Drake tried to sound convincing as he made an apologetic expression on his face, "I was only going to absorb a bit, but unexpectedly, I absorbed the sun's core energy as well during my breakthrough to the Ninth Stage while also miraculously creating a Supreme Immortal Rune, causing it to lose enormous amounts of energy. It is in the process of dying, and it would take millions of years, but since the heat it expends has considerably lessened, our planet would die out first from coldness."

"You want me to let the people and even the other lifeforms of Earth into the Grand Sea Continent?" Davis got to the gist of Drake's request.

Drake sheepishly smiled as he nodded twice. After all, the Grand Sea Continent was Davis's territory. How could he make the decision to take all people there?

On the other hand, Davis almost rolled his eyes in response. He found this situation entirely distasteful and unbelievable, but he could tell that the other party was telling the truth, so he wanted to resolve it as soon as possible, sharing the same thoughts as Drake.

However, Davis shook his head.

"You- You're going to let them… die?"

Drake gawked but receiving Davis's stare, he closed his mouth and scratched his head.

"I mean, I can't let them die because of my mistake and your hesitation. C'mon man. I'll look after them."

Davis raised his brows, "You're going to waste your time with those ungrateful bunch?"

"I don't want to, but since it's my mistake, sigh..."

Drake's shoulders drooped as though it was his fate, causing Davis to nod but shake his head.

"No need."

"Then?"

"Bring them all to the Grand Beginnings Continent."

Drake's eyes widened in response.

"You- the only reason I thought of bringing them to the Grand Sea Continent is that they'll have some peace and gain enough time to adapt to the cultivation world, but if you-"

"It's the perfect time for them to grow and adapt as the Grand Beginnings Continent has entered a more peaceful state than ever before in its history, probably." Davis interrupted Drake before displaying a disdainful smile, "If they can't even make growth here, then it's their own headache."

Drake's mouth was wide open while Davis continued.

"Let them understand that man-made laws are nothing in front of true power. No more lies and deceit. The hard workers will rise up, unlike the corrupt politicians and oligarchs who rely on wealth-making schemes and underpaying labor to live an undeserved life. Isn't this what the people wished for? To carve a path of their own with their own hands?"

"The rule of the survival of the fittest will prevail, and no matter if they live a happy life or face a tragic end, people will finally have a taste of the true freedom they desired, except it would take time for them to understand that it came at a steep cost..."

Davis deeply smiled while Drake appeared widely taken aback.

However, Drake quickly felt Davis was correct. Unlike the modern world, the cultivation world was just that cruel.

Fairness? Justice? Human rights? All of them were illusions not worth a single spirit stone.

If one needs fairness, then one must enforce it with their own hands. Same with justice, but as for human rights, although it did a good job of protecting many lives, it was just a plain old-fashioned veil for rich people to keep hold of their accumulated wealth while the poor people starved, unable to even buy food while the middle class makes ends meet, trying to live their lives miserably or dignified.

Regardless of the presence of human rights, bad things always happen to anyone who isn't an upper class or above, ending up badly hurt while they could simply escape the hand of justice using so many loopholes.

If it were not for human rights, how could the rich protect their money and authority in the name of keeping the peace? It was simply not possible against the hunger pangs of the ordinary people who were simply trying to survive.

Moreover, it wasn't like the stock market didn't exist in the cultivation world, but who would dare invest in some business without having equal power as the business owner? The stock market wasn't listed but would have to be found in person, approached and formed a deal face to face, and lastly, signed a Blood Soul Contract.

Such Blood Soul Contracts are personally dealt with, and the shares are as few as a hundred, given to the trustworthy and wealthy in order to keep the business afloat and not in the volume of thousands or millions to eat up the poor people's money, similar to ponzi schemes.

After all, cultivators had no need to rely on ponzi schemes. They could simply beat up someone and take their money and even their life as long as they had enough power and authority.

In this case, Drake felt all those people would truly become equal when arriving in the Grand Beginnings Continent.

"However, let them know that they're entering a vast jungle, returning to the old days where mankind hadn't conquered the planet, where true danger is just lurking around the corner. Since it's also your fault that they're changing homeworlds, give them one purple coin per person. Whether they wish to remain on their dying planet or walk the path of cultivation as they seek to grab their own fate, it's their own choice."

Davis reminded Drake, causing him to smile wryly, not because he would have to spend but because…

'Even their personal choices would be up to their governments...'

Drake's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain as he imagined that the rotten governments always welcomed meat shields, naming them martyrs, heroes, and whatnot.

But after they arrived in the Grand Beginnings Continent, would their governments still exist? Would the people try to riot and try to take everything into their own hands after seeing the potential they could achieve?

Drake couldn't help but want to see the result with his own eyes as a glimmer of excitement surged.

'Goddamn, they're all being isekai'd together by higher beings like they are in some novel! I wish I was a part of it, but I was already reincarnated, already experiencing the isekai life while I'm the higher being...'

Drake inwardly chuckled. However, his expression became strange as he turned to look at Davis.

"But… aren't you strangely ruthless? This is not how you were before."

"You'll understand after learning the things that happened here while you were away..."

Davis suspensefully smiled before he left with Evelynn, leaving a dumbfounded Drake, who quickly went to hear what he missed. He had heard Davis had saved them all from the terror of the Calamity Light in hearsay as he had just returned, but from what exactly, he heard about all kinds of terrifying beasts which he initially thought of them to be immortal beasts but now, he realized that they had no souls, toxic blood containing no vitality and annihilated hundreds of billions of lives!

This news shocked him to his very core, finally understanding how Davis was able to make a decision like that without batting an eye.

For a person who was unable to save hundreds of billions but saved a trillion others, he was almost like a… god in his eyes, much less the eyes of the common populace.
