Seized by the System

“That was before, the situation’s different now. We’re on the verge of death so I doubt that heavenly father of yours would be fretting over problems like the equilibrium.” The System had yet given up.

“Alright then, go find the giant bear. After all, it is the easiest creature to find on Earth currently.” Not being able to get past the System’s stubbornness, Fang Ning could only give in.

After all, he used to be addicted to gaming in the past so he would be unaware of such a serious matter.

This moment, he was only fortunate to have set up a team early. Even if he got lazy now, everything would still operate as expected and unforeseen events could still be prevented.

Heading North, Vigilante A sailed through the sky and arrived before the Gigantic Bear, which was lifting up the sky, not long after.

Fang Ning looked up and all he could see in the great expanse was the Giant Spirit Bear Misha, with its eyes half-closed, seemingly snoring. Fortunately, its head was right outside the Earth’s atmosphere. Otherwise, every snore it made would have caused a huge storm.

Looking at this figure every time, Fang Ning would feel that he had entered a mythical world. There was an indescribable feeling that let him understand that this world was now completely different.

Perhaps the ancients would find it hard to imagine that such an enormous Gigantic Bear would exist in reality.

At the foot of the Gigantic Bear was an ice-cold ocean, and there it stood right in the center.

There were many ships above the waters, where many of whom were worshipping the Gigantic Bear.

“Seems like this fellow managed to gain some popularity,” Fang Ning said distractedly.

“Of course. After all, it did successfully lift up the sky. With such merits, who knows what kind of benefits would it get from that stupid Heavenly Axiom,” The System responded in a resentful manner.

“Stop being envious. If it were you, would you be willing to do it?” Fang Ning stated with a look of disdain.

“No,” The System replied with no hesitation.

“That’s that then. Fly to the nose of the Gigantic Bear, I want to speak to it.”

Vigilante A flew straight up into the sky.

At the sight of this extraordinary sight, all the faithful followers below the Gigantic Bear fell down in adoration.

This was indeed a conversation between the almighty and it was a rare occasion that they were able to witness this historical moment.

“Misha, wakeup. There is something I have to tell you,” Fang Ning asked the Gigantic Bear through a telepathic message.

“Who’s calling me? It took me a while to get used to this new sleeping position, just let me sleep for a while more.” Misha shook its head, not bothering to open its eyes.

“I’m your elder brother,” Fang Ning said gloomily.

“Uh, Big Bro, why are you here?” With a violent shudder, Misha’s gigantic pupils widened and looked towards Fang Ning.

“Recently, a sudden thought hit me and I realize that there might be some vast changes so I need to use your channel to inform the Heavenly Axion. It’s easier to be prepared in advance,” Fang Ning said solemnly.

“Oh, whatever you say Big Bro. Ever since I’ve pulled back this piece of land, the Heavenly Axiom started being courteous with me. Whenever I speak, it will indeed listen,” Misha grinned.

“Pulled back? What do you mean?” Suddenly, Fang Ning realized that he may have misunderstood something.

” It’s this huge pot lid. It’s always so eager to fly outwards but I grab the handles and sink both my feet into the deepest part of the ice-cold ocean so it can’t fly away. This is all my work,” Misha bragged quickly.

“Oh, I see. I was just wondering how are you still able to sleep when you’re holding up the sky. If that’s the case then everything would make sense. Holding on to this Lunaette doesn’t require any extra strength as long as your body is strong enough. I was worried before that you would be too tired and wanted you to lie down while supporting the sky, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary,” Fang Ning said as he came to a realization.

“Sure enough, Big Bro is good to me. You really do know me well. However, since I’ve already learned how to sleep while I stand, there is no need to trouble you anymore,” Misha replied gratefully.

“That’s good then. Actually, I’m here to tell you that the mysterious immortals of the Upper Realm are plotting against Earth’s Heavenly Axiom, and they’ll probably take action soon. Warn the Heavenly Axiom to be more vigilant. It’s best to choose one or two talented key people and cultivate them to resist any of the Upper Realm’s actions,” Fang Ning instructed.

“Eh, there’s such a thing? I… Got it. I’ll call that fellow right away.” Once Misha heard the words, it first panicked, but then suddenly smirked. “Hehe, if it’s all about cultivation, then I should be first in line since I am the greatest on Earth…”

After that, Gigantic Bear Misha began mumbling as its eyes closed as if it was communicating with some sort of being.

“Hehe, Sir, seems like your wishful thinking is probably not going to work anymore,” Fang Ning said as if he were absorbed in deep thought.

“Why? This stupid bear might be huge in size but don’t get fooled by it. I can beat up ten of it at once. If there’s anyone to go through cultivation, it should be me,” The System argued in a resentful tone.

“Hey, don’t you know that God prefers stupid children? You’re too smart now, the Heavenly Axiom won’t just pass you the powers that easily,” Fang Ning comforted.

“Oh, I’ve actually always been really stupid.I’m constantly dismissed by you. The longest journey in my life is no other than being a part of Rich-man’s plot,” The System immediately corrected.

“…” Fang Ning was speechless. After all, that was the truth.

After a short while, Misha reopened its eyes with a frustrated look.

“Big Bro, that fellow said it already. Let us just do our own thing and worry less about the others. It has its own ideas so don’t bother him if there’s nothing,” Misha said sulkily.

“Eh, this stupid Heavenly Axiom, biting the hands that feed it. How unreasonable!” The System huffed.

“Relax, the root of your problem now is that you have insufficient money,” Fang Ning reassured.

“Since there is no money to replenish, why don’t you sponsor some?” The System asked with a hopeful tone.

“How would I still have money? You’re so high-ranked that I can’t even do much anyway,” Fang Ning quickly refused.

“Forget about it, I’m going back now. Damn it, I wasted my precious farming and practice time to come and remind it, and not only did it not stand by us, it asked us not to bother it. What an ungrateful wretch!” The System mumbled.

“Alas, this is the sorrow of the weak. In ancient times, loyal generals often encountered similar situations, all their pains painstakingly ignored. We’re just playing that role now. After all, a humble master who is open to criticism like me is hard to come by,” Fang Ning boasted as he shook his head.

“Hmph, just ignore it now. Sooner or later, I’ll replace it,” The System said ambitiously.

“Ah, don’t be so loud. If it hears you, we’re going to be in deep trouble,” Fang Ning paled.

“What are you afraid of? I understand everything now. This Earth’s Heavenly Axiom just achieved something and it’s starting to be so obstinate and gets on its high horse, completely looking down on us now. It’ll come to no good end.” The System was clearly still upset about it.

Expressionless, Vigilante A then left, and the Gigantic Bear Misha closed its eyes again and went back to sleep.

…

In the System Space.

After listening to Fang Ning summarizing everything, Anderson fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he said, “It seems that the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom has other plans. There is no say how much wisdom such an unknown mysterious existence would have. Not knowing the details beneath the surface, it is hard for us to use our common sense and guess. As it said, let’s just do our own thing. There’s no need to worry about it.”

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Just continue to keep a lookout on this,” Fang Ning ordered.

After leaving the Draconic Penitentiary, Fang Ning was not in the mood to game anymore. He was immersed in thought.

He was thinking about something the Gigantic Bear had said and the way the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom responded seemed unreasonable.

It was not that he never communicated with the Heavenly Axiom, just that he used to be the one being contacted. The feeling the Heavenly Axiom used to give him was neither good nor evil, it was just a matter of usefulness. It was the purest way of nature.

The “good and evil” meant humans, or perhaps the internal definition of an intelligent creature. It had nothing to do with nature.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Axiom was a place where human feelings were non-existent.

As for the Gigantic Bear’s response just now was just like a tyrant, an impatient king…

This made him suspicious.

A frightening guess flashed through his mind and was then quickly dismissed. After all, there was no evidence.

He also did not intend to bring it up with the System since it would be pointless as well.

For the sake of the present, he could only be cautious with every step he took.

He ought to think about it more after improving his strength.

At this thought, Fang Ning sat up and started to get busy, drafting up a schedule on his computer.

The System saw it and asked curiously, “What a rare sight. Everything’s alright but you’re not out; you’re actually taking your own initiative to do something properly.”

“Hey, I’m doing something and you still have an opinion about it?” Fang Ning responded without even lifting his head.

He was clearing the strength controlled in his hands on the computer while searching for the most efficient point of force at the same time.

There were two main points of force.

One was a large group of wicked spirits that had been cultivated for a long period.

The other one was a wishing lamp that had not been used for a very long time. The material of the oil lamp had also been collected for a long time so it was quite adequate. It was time to harvest.

“No, nothing at all. Just that when are you calling back that stupid book? Seems like it’s been out for too long. I quite miss it…” The System smiled.

“Hey, you just want its experience points.” Fang Ning exposed the System’s true motive with no hint of mercy.

“Watch what you’re saying. Am I such an acquisitive system? No matter what, I was the one who created it so it should, in fact, come back regularly for an inspection,” The System justified.

“Alright, alright. I’ll call it back now.” To his surprise, Fang Ning agreed.

“Hmm, why are you being so easy? Is it because there’s a new agenda?” The System asked uneasily.

“Hey, am I one of those tacky people? Whatever you say, you’re still bound onto me, so you still have to be updated regularly.” Fang Ning repaid the words of the System.

“…” The System was speechless.
