Chapter 571 - An Alteration of Destiny (1/2)

Fang Ning approached the Earthly Monument where the green frog had already shifted back into its frog form. It reminded Fang Ning.

“Brother, just allow your spiritual sense to come out and communicate with it, I’ve already told it that this would happen.”

As expected, no matter where they went, connections were important. Helping others was as imperative as helping oneself.

The System could not understand this and would never make an exception for special situations.

Fang Ning gave it a thought and turned into a tiny white dragon as he zoomed toward the Earthly Monument.

The System tried to stop him. “Hey, Billionaire Host, what are you trying to do? You’re only required to communicate with it with your spiritual sense, but you look like you were gonna sell your body to it…”

“Pfft…” Fang Ning almost puked. “Sell your *ss, haven’t you heard about Divine Unity?”

“Of course I did, but right now ‘it’ is only an Earthly Monument, so the most you can achieve is probably bury yourself in the dirt…”

“Stop spouting nonsense, am I the type who would bury myself alive?” Fang Ning ignored the System’s teases and went straight for the Earthly Monument.

The green frog did not stop him this entire process, so Fang Ning’s confidence in his move was bolstered up even more.

In the next second, Fang Ning had dove into the ocher-colored Earthly Monument, his presence completely disappearing.

“Billionaire, where are you? I can’t sense you at all.” The System sounded concerned.

Fang Ning did not answer.

The Earthly Monument was slowly shifting between light and dark, turning yellow, green, white, black, and a myriad of other colors, it was as if it had decided to set up a dyehouse…

Moments had passed before a low draconic grunt rang inside the System Space.

“My path hath been completed.”

A majestic voice with swathes of regalness came out of the monument.

The System asked flatly, “Billionaire, will you die if you don’t pretend to be such a badass?”

“Um, how did you know it’s me?” asked Fang Ning curiously. “With your intelligence, you shouldn’t have guessed.”

“Nonsense, there’s only one human in here, who else could it be? Even if you were burned to ash, I will still recognize your voice,” said the System bitterly.

“Your intelligence is a problem. If I’m a pile of ash, how would I speak?” snapped Fang Ning. “I’m done wasting time talking with you, I wanna go out.”

“Hm? This is your way of coming and going as you will?” asked the System in fascination.

“That’s right. I’ve already merged with this Earthly Monument successfully. With its protection, my spirit would never be harmed by most, if not all, weapons and spells, so of course I can come and go as I please.” Fang Ning was pretty proud of himself.

“Is that so? I don’t believe you, I have to do an experiment,” announced the System.

“What are you trying to do?” Fang Ning instinctively felt a looming danger.

“Heh, I gave it some thoughts, I think I need to add a layer of protection on it…”

In the next instance, before Fang Ning could escape from the Earthly Monument, it was sent into the smithy…

“Croak…” The green frog’s eyes widened as it waited in front of the smithy, staring in disbelief.

“Brother, you were sent in there too? Even you couldn’t resist…” It said with a surprised expression.

“That’s right. I have no other choice. A certain evil presence had always used its might to bully others no matter how wicked or contemptible the actions were. Even I was no match with it.” Fang Ning sighed helplessly.

“I see, as long as we’re here, we would always be beaten up without reason. That’s a completely evil presence who wanted to twist our wills to its own benefits,” yelled the green frog indignantly.

“Hey, Billionaire, you’re talking bad about me in front of my treasures, have you no shame?” The System was not happy.
