Seized by the System

After he finished investigating, Fang Ning had a plan and ordered the Dragon God to return to the earth, and then slept on the way back.

In order to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony for Heaven, to put up a show, he once again stayed up for the whole night for proper business to cultivate’Dragon’s Gambol and Tiger’s Gait’… ¹

…

After five hours, Sir System woke him up on time again.

“Great Emperor Host, you have arrived at your earth palace, it is time to enter.”

Fang Ning crawled out from the System Space Lounge, and with the help of the Dragon God’s view, he saw a large crowd of people still gathering in the desert below.

They were all looking forward to it, their necks must have been sore for quite some time.

Eleven hours had passed since the sacrifice, and it was now eight o’clock in the evening.

The sky inevitably darkened.

In the desert of the night, the night wind whistled.

Although it was summer, what the night wind brought to the people was not coolness, but chills.

Fang Ning understood the feelings of these people, standing in their shoes.

If he knew that he would be permanently disconnected from the Internet starting tomorrow, he would not be able to sleep tonight, either.

He thought for a moment, and let the Dragon God say five words for him.

“The sky will not fall.”

Those five words instantly spread across the world along countless copper wires, optical cables, and radio waves.

Just like magic, when the people heard this, they could not help but cheer loudly and run and tell each other.

At this moment, the whole world celebrated, and the earth sang.

Since the True Dragon from China had stated that the sky would not fall, what was there to be afraid of?

Go home early, do what you need to do…

That was what most people were thinking.

After the people of the Truth Department saw the situation, they looked at each other, and all felt a load lift off their chest.

The whole process was seemingly uneventful, but the fact was everyone was extremely worried, like a string pulled taut.

The end of the world itself may be dreadful, but before it, the chaos caused by the panic in human hearts may not necessarily be much better.

Even deadlier, the panic and chaos would wipe out any initial hope of survival.

Thankfully, we have the Dragon God.

Fang Ning installed the last wave and planned to send the Dragon God back home.

At this moment, the System complained, “Great Emperor Host, you bragged a lot, but if the moon really falls down and causes the sky to collapse, my Reputation will be completely wiped out.”

Fang Ning replied, “How would you know that I was bragging. I will naturally have a way to make what I said earlier come true.”

Sir System was both surprised and pleased, “If it can be achieved, I’m afraid that the Friendliness Attribute for all human gathering zones in the System Map will rise to ‘Worship’. Our Mythos will also soar.”

Fang Ning nodded his head, “That’s a good thing. At least we don’t need to make the Black Dog run around and open maps every day. It saves us some labor.”

The System then wondered, “What exactly is the Great Emperor Host’s plan to prevent the sky from falling? I’m telling you now, don’t count on me this time.

“I want to hold the moon and prevent it from falling. I would need trillions of experience points and rush to the Ocean-level boundary in one shot to be able to do it, but it would still be difficult to crush it.”

Hearing this, Fang Ning thought seriously.

He remembered that the System once said that only Ocean-level powerhouses had the ability to shatter a planet.

Obviously, there are still things that are beyond an Ocean-level powerhouses’ ability to do.

Naturally, an Ocean-level powerhouse was already terrifying. They could destroy mountains and reclaim seas. They could cause great damage to the Earth, and even exterminate the entire biosphere like it was nothing.

However, it was still very difficult for them to completely smash the Earth into cosmic dust.

Thinking about this, Fang Ning said, “Do you seriously think that there’s no one stronger than you on Earth?

“A System should be modest. Modestly will improve your System, but arrogance will make it lag behind. Did you know this truth?”

The System retorted, “I didn’t know. The only things I know are things to teach you humans with. Now cut the crap, who are you planning to use as a scapegoat to hold up the sky?”

Fang Ning would not tell this dimwit so easily. He had to use this chance to let the stupid growing System know who exactly was the boss and who was the lackey.

He only said slightly smugly, “Far from reach, near at hand.”

Just as Fang Ning finished speaking, a System Notification suddenly popped up.

[The Dragon God is evaluating…]

[The Dragon God is evaluating…]

[The Dragon God has decided to go home and sleep.]

Fang Ning was dumbfounded. Even an old ancestor knew how to make these kinds of notifications?

He immediately responded and opened his mouth to ask a certain dimwit, “Did you do something? How could you mess with my Dragon?”

The System said in a surprised tone, “I didn’t mess with anything. The Dragon God must be bored with you acting for too long, so the thought of wanting to go home was so strong that even the system rules caught it.

“Looks like although there are no definite time limits to summoning the Dragon God, there are still limits. Otherwise, if you don’t let the Dragon God leave, it won’t leave. How can it continue to grow then?”

Fang Ning only half believed it. This numbnut had a criminal record of usually doing things its own way for the sake of its strength and survival.

Right at this moment, the System suddenly said, “Hurry and send your ancestor back. Something big is happening.”

Fang Ning, puzzled by what it said, immediately used the System View to look around.

He very quickly discovered a large white bear in the sky hundreds of kilometers away, standing on a cloud in the north and running towards the Dragon God’s direction at a very high speed.

Sir System could clearly see the mouth shapes of people tens of thousands of meters away. This big white bear’s figure was several meters high, and it was high up in the sky. There was no terrain obstructing it, so naturally it could be discovered from several hundred kilometers away.

However, what was this?

After carefully observing, Fang Ning suddenly realized. Wasn’t this the Russian totem Spirit Bear that was fatally beaten by the System that time?

He remembered that it had the ability to resurrect.

In the past, the System kept thinking about it. Who would have thought that after not seeing each other for just a few months, the bear would be working hard to develop, and even learned how to run in the sky…

The big white bear’s four limbs each stepped on a small little cloud, and charged towards where the Dragon God was located.

The bear’s head was raised high, its state full of fighting spirit.

Fang Ning carefully sensed, and found that its presence was extremely large. Last time, it only had the strength of one at the pinnacle of Lake-level.

However, now, he could not sense the bear’s specific level of power. It was obvious that it was already above Lake-level.

Could the totem have surpassed the power limit of the current world? The Dragon God could reach Inland-Sea level, but could the Spirit Bear also reach that level too?

Fang Ning was immediately surprised, and then he was relieved.

That was also possible. After all, the totems and the Heavenly Axiom were one big family. The Heavenly Axiom could just open a back door and make it convenient for the totem to suppress evil. That was very common.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Axiom was very strict when managing the people of the Upper Realm. Outsiders were never welcome.

Fortunately, he had a local account. In fact, it was a local account all the way back from eighteen generations of his ancestors.

Now, what was this dumb bear doing here?

Did it still want to arm wrestle with his Dragon God?

As Fang Ning thought about that question, the white bear had run until it was only around a hundred kilometers away from the Dragon God. An expression of inexplicable surprise suddenly showed up on its huge face.

Then, it suddenly braked on all four paws, forcefully turned its body away, and fled backward at a faster speed without looking back…

Fang Ning heard the System anxiously urging, “Come on, hurry, send your ancestor dragon back.”

…

“Misha?!”

“Misha?”

Seryozha called the totem Spirit Bear that was possessing his body.

“Why did you turn around?”

“I can’t beat it,” The white bear Misha answered truthfully while running, “The guy who killed me last time also summoned a totem. It’s much stronger than me.”

“Damn it, how dare he act so shamelessly! We agreed that you two would challenge each other, but he actually called out the Dragon God!” Seryozha grit his teeth.

Ever since the fiasco last time, Seryozha had been cultivating in isolation. He was not connected to the Internet, so he did not know that the Dragon God was summoned.

He had just exited isolation when he received an order from the higher ups. He was forbidden from provoking the people of China for the time being.

However, he did not forget the three-month challenge deadline.

Now that it was over, in his view, the other part must be laughing and mocking him as a coward, which was why he rushed back so hurriedly.

He was right, the System had actually been calling the Spirit Bear a wimp.

It seemed like the System actually guessed correctly this time.

The Russian man the Spirit Bear possessed, Seryozha, was not someone to be intimidated. Hailing from a nation of fighters, he would rather get beaten to death than scared to death.

However, the Spirit Bear was a natural totem, and had the nature of a bear. Its courage was sometimes great, but it was also sometimes small.

Seryozha was only a possession target. If the Spirit Bear made up its mind, he had no way of stopping it by force.

For matters such as judging power gaps, the Spirit Bear was much more accurate than he.

However, he still did not give up. He launched his mouth cannon and started to urge the wildly fleeing Misha.

“The three months until our battle has already passed! As soldiers, how could we make careless remarks and go back on our word like politicians!

“The politicians fear China’s prestige and secretly make concessions, but as the children of a fighting nation, we cannot bow our heads! Go back, Misha! Fight bravely!”

“Lord Knight Ivan said before, a soldier can be beaten down by others, but a soldier cannot be defeated!”

As he shouted, he suddenly realized that the Spirit Bear had abruptly braked again.

Seeing this, Seryozha thought that he managed to convince the Spirit Bear, and was immediately overjoyed, “Misha, you’re willing to listen to me at last!

“The Chinese have said so themselves, when they face a strong enemy, when they meet on a narrow road, even if they don’t know the enemy, they will still rise to the challenge. They will still draw their swords!”

The white bear rubbed its head, “I don’t want to rise to the challenge. I just suddenly sensed that that guy’s totem possession, that large dragon, seemed to have disappeared. It’s only him left now.

“Hehe, him, I can beat…”

While speaking, the white bear had already gleefully turned around. It faced Vigilante A’s direction, swaggered again, and charged towards him with its head raised high.

Seryozha immediately saw from the bear’s eyes that the long and huge dragon had indeed disappeared.

Among the white clouds in the distance, there was only a small black dot with a strong sword energy that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

Although he could not see him clearly, that familiar sword energy clearly told him that that was Vigilante A. No doubt about it!

He immediately felt an immense hatred for him. Vigilante A had killed him instantly twice before. It was a great shame to him.

After returning to his country, he had been mocked and laughed at by his companions. Many people pinned the blame of the Spirit Bear’s failure on him.

He should not expect everyone to be wise and patiently analyze the reasons for his defeat. Most people would simply find a scapegoat to vent their frustrations on.

As the chosen one of the totem Spirit Bear, he suffered as much slander and abuse after his defeat as he had glory and envy before.

Since the totem was entrusted to him, he could not let the Spirit Bear lay a hand on the people of their own land.

He even had to hold himself back, otherwise the agreement between the two sides would be affected.

In these three months, no one knew just how he managed to get through!

That was why he ignored his orders the moment he exited isolation, and broke into China’s airspace from a high altitude. It was all to challenge Vigilante A again and wash away his disgrace and humiliation.

…

At this moment, in the desert after the Dragon God returned, the Truth Department was maintaining order and evacuating the crowd.

This time, Ren Ruofeng received a distress call.

His expression immediately turned solemn, “The Russian Spirit Bear suddenly entered the country from an extremely high altitude. Nets Above Snares Below has just sent in a report. It’s estimated its strength exceeds Lake-level, and is suspected to be an Inland-sea Level powerhouse!”

Ren Ruofeng went drinking many days at the Venerable Dragon God’s house. He naturally knew more about the Dragon Clan’s power level ranking…

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked upon hearing that. Hardly one wave had subsided before another one rose again.

Director Hu did not panic, and merely asked, “The power limit of the totem Spirit Dragon from earlier already exceeded Lake-level. Looks like the Heavenly Axiom is extra tolerant for local totems. You all, start monitoring immediately. I suspect it only has one target.”

Everyone nodded. This totem Spirit Bear could only have one target, and that was Vigilante A.

They immediately felt like it was a shame. If the Dragon God had left just a little later, they could have easily defeated the Spirit Bear now.

They had no doubt about it.

However, they were incredibly worried. Could the Venerable Dragon God, whose power was limited to Lake-level by the Heavenly Axiom, have the ability to deal with this suspected Inland-sea Level Spirit Bear?

What if it couldn’t?

Their eyes turned to the calm director. If that happened, they would just have to let the old man act.
