Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start

Chapter 166: Mysterious People

With enough top-grade essence stones, Himmel Soan would gain a power that made him more formidable than God. He wouldn’t need as many as one might think. About 70,000 stones would do the trick.

That might sound a lot, but after the water was cleared away from the underground shelter, they found over 300 top-grade essence stones on the ground.

Zone 407 was a tiny area compared to the entire ocean. Therefore, collecting 70,000 top-grade essence stones wouldn’t be an issue.

If he could dive to the bottom of the ocean, he could probably find ten times what he needed.

However, he had been wondering about something. He hadn’t visited the bottom of the ocean, but the Himmelian Pavilion had.

Their people had dived 23,000 meters into the sea, and the deepest places in the ocean were thirty or even forty thousand meters below.

He should be able to find something there.

The bottom of the ocean shouldn’t be the only place where he could find top-grade essence stones.

20,000m was already very deep. Stones at 40,000m might not have been washed ashore.

Yet the people of the Himmelian Pavilion hadn’t found any.

Why?

Many people left comments while listening to his speech.

“I feel so ignorant! I can’t understand a word Mr. Soan has said! He could be speaking another language!”

“I have a Ph.D., but I still couldn’t understand Mr. Soan!”

“And I’m a scientist, but it didn’t make any difference! His knowledge is too profound!”

“Is he telling the truth, then?”

“Are you doubting him? He’s the god of science! Of course, what he said was true!”

“We couldn’t understand the space cannon’s blueprint either, but Mr. Soan still built it. It doesn’t matter if you can understand it. Mr. Soan is confident, and that’s all we need!”

“That’s right! All we need is Mr. Soan’s confidence!”

Scientists and presidents of various countries all started asking questions as well.

“Mr. Soan, what you said was too complicated. Is it possible to write it down or draw a blueprint as you did with the space cannon? We may understand it better that way,” said one of the presidents.

Luther said, “I don’t think a blueprint is necessary. I only understand a fraction of what Mr. Soan said. It’s so complicated that even with the blueprint, we won’t be able to do anything. The only thing I care about is how confident you are.”

William said, “Patriarch never does things he’s not confident in. If he says so, he must have confidence!”

Himmel Soan said, “I’m confident in my theory, but just like I mentioned, I’ll need an enormous amount of energy, which was something I couldn’t find on Earth before. But I’ve found it in those stones.”

Himmel Soan took out a top-grade essence stone and showed it to the camera.

Luther examined the stone through the screen.

People like Henry, Gordon, and Warren had all noticed that the stone was one of those that had been washed up by the sea.

“What is it?” Ichiro asked.

Himmel Soan said, “It’s an incredible stone that contains a great amount of energy. The energy can be extracted to power up other devices. That’s also how the space cannon is powered.”

“Mr. Soan, is that LQ2, the element you mentioned before?”

Himmel Soan nodded. “Yes. I’ve divided it into ten levels; the lower the level, the weaker the energy. The space cannon only used the second level, whereas the LQ these stones contain is at least level eight. It’ll become LQ8 after I refine it.”

“Are these stones only found in the ocean?”

“That’s my current speculation. Our research in the next year will be focused on the ocean. We must find these stones as soon as possible!”

A comment appeared online soon after, and many people gave it a thumbs up. It was created by a user named “Ocean Protector.”

Ocean Protector wrote, “That’s complete nonsense! Mr. Soan, what you said can get many people killed! The ocean is sacred! Anyone who dares to disturb the deepsea will be targeted by the ocean, and their country will pay for it, too! You can’t do it! I won’t allow it!”

The comment set off all kinds of reactions online.

“Who said that? Who?! You’re dead! How dare you question Mr. Soan’s decision?”

“Everybody, find out who that person is! Look around you and expose their cover!”

“That’s right! Who’s that idiot? Are they trying to be funny?”

“Has anybody found that person? Who is it?”

“They’re not in Panthera!”

“They’re not in Winland!”

“They’re not in Flamia either!”

...

It was as if “Ocean Protector” didn’t exist on Earth. The whole world was searching for that person, but no one had discovered their identity.

More people appeared online and supported Ocean Protector.

“What’s the matter? Ocean Protector is telling the truth! We’ve offended the ocean!”

“How many people have died in fires, earthquakes, and storms so far? Not a lot! How about floods and tsunamis? That number has to be greater than all the other disasters combined! Open your eyes!”

“The ocean is sacred! It has a soul, and the human race has to protect it! If we hurt it again, we’ll be struck by even bigger catastrophes!”

“I don’t know if Mr. Soan can build a portal because he can’t even handle the flood!”

“That’s right. I think our top priority is to build the moon, not explore the ocean to find some stones!”

...

“Why are there so many idiots all of a sudden? Where did they come from? Ocean Protector? They must have lost their minds!”

“Mr. Soan has just saved the world, but you’re still questioning him! Tell me who you are and where you’re from! I’m going to kill you!”

“Shit! Who the hell are these people? Look around you and see what other people are typing on their phones. We must find them!”
