Chapter 219 - The System's Explanation
Jiang Daloong's wife signed the papers in a haze, then staggered away, dragging little Jiang Xiaolong behind her.
The onlookers felt a rush of satisfaction as the unhinged woman got her comeuppance, the frustration in their hearts melting away.
But their relief was short-lived as they remembered the thug Jiang Daloong, whom Jiang Hao had just crossed, and worry crept in.
“Hao Hao, you stood up for everyone today, but you've also riled up Jiang Daloong. Be careful!
And don't expect to see that five hundred thousand from him, ever!”
They warned Jiang Hao with genuine concern.
Jiang Hao just chuckled at the warnings.
“Don't worry. If Jiang Daloong wants to come after me, let him. I'm not scared of him!”
“I was really upset today and might have stepped on some toes. My apologies, everyone!”
He bowed his head, offering an olive branch to the gathered uncles and aunties, hoping to bridge the gap his actions might have caused.
Seeing Jiang Hao's contrition, smiles quickly spread across their faces.
“All's well, no harm done!”
……
After everyone had gone their separate ways, word of Jiang Hao's extravagant car spread like wildfire through Jiang Village and even reached the neighboring hamlets.
Parents sternly cautioned their children to steer clear of Jiang Hao's vehicle.
Back at home, Jiang Hao faced the inevitable barrage of questions from his family.
He kept it simple, saying his recent business ventures had paid off.
He had plans to purchase a suite in Tianhee City for his Fourth Uncle and move his grandparents there, but Fourth Uncle adamantly refused any more of Jiang Hao's generosity.
And so, the matter was dropped.
That night, as Jiang Hao lay in bed, he couldn't shake off a nagging doubt that had surfaced earlier.
His grandfather had mentioned a transformation that occurred forty days ago, which coincided with Jiang Hao acquiring the system.
Could the upheaval in the heavens and earth be linked to the System?
This was a question only the System could answer.
Jiang Hao delved into his connection with the System and inquired.
“System, was the cosmic shift forty days ago connected to you?”
There was a brief silence before the system's voice chimed in.
“[The Heavenly Axiom of this world lies dormant, with no laws in place.]
The emergence of the System has infused this world with new vigor.
Every instance of the System's deconstruction and synthesis gradually reawakens the world's natural laws, leading to a resurgence of spiritual energy!”
Upon hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Hao was taken aback.
“System, don't tell me the entire Earth is going to revert to ancient times?”
“Ding! Insufficient system authority. Please upgrade system level!”
“Not even a hint?”
Jiang Hao was disheartened.
“What's the extent of the changes to heaven and earth now? Have any beings more powerful than me emerged?”
“Ding! Insufficient system authority. Please level up!”
……
After several similar questions, the system kept indicating that his authority level was too low, which left Jiang Hao feeling quite frustrated.
Yet, so far, aside from himself, he had only encountered two individuals with supernatural abilities, suggesting that the transformations of heaven and earth might not be so extensive after all.
Nevertheless, he knew he had to start preparing early.
With that in mind, Jiang Hao drifted off into a deep sleep.
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, Jiang Hao was roused by jubilant shouts from the neighboring room.
Upon rising, he saw his Fourth Uncle, supported by Fourth Aunt, taking steps around the courtyard.
Fourth Aunt was weeping with happiness, while Fourth Uncle was bubbling with the excitement of a child.
Grandpa, Grandma, and Jiang Zixuan were astounded by the sight and gathered around to observe.
Soon enough, Fourth Uncle adjusted and insisted that Fourth Aunt release him.
He began to amble through the yard on his own.
Witnessing this, everyone's amazement at Jiang Hao's healing prowess grew even more profound.
After breakfast, Fourth Aunt set off for the fields, and with time to spare, Jiang Hao decided to tag along.
