CH 13

The system once said that when the Earth began to crack, the Earth shook, and the mountains shook; it was a sign that the trolls were awakening.

Although there was still a huge difference between this degree of shaking and the collapse of the earth and the earthquake, it was still a sign.

If the Giant Demon revives now, he wouldn’t be able to deal with it.

In these ten years, he had only read fifty thousand books. He was still halfway through the hundred thousand books, and he would need at least another ten years before he could read the hundred thousand books. Only then would he have the ability to read the old gospel.

The System had said that only by learning the power of the gospel could he kill the Trolls.

This was because real Trolls were different from Trolls in any movie or game.

Eight years ago, while he was experiencing a mental breakdown, he had wanted to use cannons, missiles, and even nuclear weapons to destroy all the Trolls underground at all costs to vent his anger. However, the system had warned him that only the central temperature of the nuclear explosion could wipe out the trolls. But that was an instant high temperature, and it had to be the center of the explosion. Thus, the maneuverability was too low. Besides that, no attack would have an effect.

That was because the Mountain Troll underneath the mountain city was colossal. It was like an indestructible steel mountain. That was the true form of a Giant Demon.

Trolls were creatures that did not exist in the modern world, nor the modern scientific concept. Trolls were beyond the cognition of modern science.

Although nuclear weapons were powerful, to put it bluntly, the main attack methods of these weapons were optical radiation, shock waves, early nuclear radiation, nuclear electromagnetic pulse, and nuclear electromagnetic contamination. Although the temperature at the center of the explosion was terrifying, it was only a moment of high temperature. The high temperature would instantly transform into shock waves, so it was almost negligible.

Other than the instantaneous high temperature at the center that could affect Giant Demons, the remaining attack modes were almost non-existent. That was because Giant Demons were existences that surpassed these things. Not only Giant Demons but the Giant Dragons, the frost giant, etc., not to mention the slumbering Gods. Although nuclear weapons were the ultimate weapons of modern human technology, apart from threatening some lower-level extraordinary creatures, they didn’t have the slightest bit of lethality against higher-level extraordinary creatures.

If even nuclear weapons could not do it, then there was no need to talk about other conventional weapons.

The extraordinary creatures were originally  material existences that surpassed the knowledge of modern technology.

The effects of nuclear electromagnetic pollution and nuclear radiation on extraordinary creatures were negligible. As for light radiation, shock waves, and nuclear electromagnetic pulses, just the extraordinary creature’s body barrier could offset these attacks.

Therefore, to advise him to stop this unrealistic thought, the System also added at the end that only magic could defeat magic.

If relying on technological weapons could cause harm to extraordinary creatures, an unknown existence would not have sent all mankind to another world to cultivate.

When mentioning an unknown existence, Chen Fann also took the opportunity to ask the System who the unknown existence was, but even the System didn’t know who sent all mankind to another world.

And it was specifically because of the conversation with the system eight years ago that he completely gave up the idea of using technological weapons to kill the trolls.

Only by learning the power in the gospel could he kill the trolls. That was why the System kept telling him to read books and not think about killing the trolls before he read the gospel.

However, because the system always urged him to read books, as if all hopes of killing the extraordinary beings were pinned on the “Old Gospel “, Chen Fann couldn’t help but ask the system curiously once. If there was no “Old Gospel”, would he not live for a hundred years even after the system turns on the super mode?

After all, it was a coincidence that he could get the Old Sun’s gospel. If he hadn’t gotten the Old Sun’s gospel, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to learn the ability to kill extraordinary creatures. If he couldn’t kill the extraordinary creatures, he would not be able to acquire more advanced abilities. Without those advanced abilities, he would have no way of killing the extraordinary creatures with the system’s help, which was equal to falling into an endless loop.

And if he couldn’t kill extraordinary creatures, the system could not replenish energy, and if the system couldn’t replenish energy, it couldn’t help him prolong his life, so the only thing waiting for him, in the end, was old age and death.

Therefore, if he did not have the ‘Old Sun’s Blessing’, the system would have given him these abilities and attributes, but the only function would probably be to let him live in this world for a few more decades. Thinking about it like that, the system didn’t seem that useful anymore.

Regarding this question, the System had two answers.

If he didn’t get the Old Sun’s Gospel from the start, the System would let him search the world.

The Old Sun’s Gospel was the only Book of Truth in the universe, scattered in space and time. Scattered in different parts of the universe, no one knew how many sections of the old gospel had. But as long as one was lucky enough to get one section, there would be a ladder to the highest latitude. There would be a passage to obtain supreme power, so the Old Gospel was a supreme treasure that all extraordinary creatures wanted.

Therefore, the system would let him search for the Gospel all over the world, and not let him stay in one place forever.

The second answer was if he did not find the ‘Old Sun’s Gospel’, the System would let him wait until some extraordinary creatures were revived. Then wait some more until the extraordinary creatures begin fighting, then let him take advantage of their weakness to get a cheap kill.

After hearing the system’s reply, the originally calm Chen Fann couldn’t help but be shocked.

It turned out that the Learning God System, which was initially not good at dealing with these things, was also desperately trying to keep him alive as the host.

Even the system was working so hard. What reason did he have to collapse? What reason did he have to give up?

It was strictly because of what the system said that he, who had once collapsed and was unable to gather energy to read books, lifted his spirits again. Otherwise, he might not have been able to read 50,000 books in these ten years.

Chen Fann stood by the window as he recalled these past events. He waited for the ice and snow to stop shaking until it stopped. After confirming that there would not be another earthquake, Chen Fann left the window and walked down the cellar.

He took out the remaining sweet potatoes and potatoes from the cellar.

The weather was getting increasingly worse.  Most of the vegetables could no longer be planted, and it was also hard to preserve them.

Hot summer and cold winter always came together, either high temperature or blizzard. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to plant vegetables. He could only grow this kind of food that could be preserved for a long time in the only two or three months in the year that was suitable for planting vegetables.

But this winter was longer than any previous one. It had already been snowing for five consecutive months, and he didn’t know when the winter would end. He didn’t even know if the hot summer would follow after the end of the winter.

The number of potatoes and sweet potatoes was getting lesser each day. This month, he had saved up to three days and only had one meal.

If he didn’t control his diet, he would probably have to sit on the mountain and wait for death.

This damn weather!

In this situation where food was severely lacking, were it not for his extreme weather resistance, any cold would probably have tortured him to death.

“Host, congratulations, you have persisted in living a life of eating only one meal every three days for a month. You have gained the ability to endure hunger.”

When Chen Fann heard this, he couldn’t help but open the attribute panel.

Sure enough, a hunger tolerance was added to the endurance column.

Hunger tolerance: Super anti-hunger ability; five days without eating would not affect you. Under no intense activity for ten days, not eating anything but drinking water will not affect you.   Under no intense activity, eating only one meal for thirty days will still be able to maintain normal physical strength. But when there is a high-intensity activity, it will shorten the eating time.

It had to be said that the system’s super mode was very useful. His daily ordinary life could also increase his abilities.
