Chapter 665 - The Alliance of Kind Deities (1/2)

After listening to the Sky River of the River God’s confession, Fang Ning finally had an inkling on how different the mindsets were between the powerful beings and normal people like himself.

In their eyes, human lives did not matter at all. As long as they could achieve their goals, they would not mind the number of sacrifices that had to be made because they were the final determiners.

As the saying that went, “In a fit of anger, a single thought is all that suffice to destroy a whole city.”

That went without saying that those born in an inferior context in the Upper Realm had to live in fear like worker ants.

On the contrary, those who were talented lived a blessed life.

Unlike being on Earth, no matter how talented, diligent, or great your achievements were — even if the best opportunities presented themselves — only dust remained after a hundred years.

In the Upper Realm, the upper limit of all entities was unlimited. A genius could ascend to become a Saint or Buddha, becoming immortal and invincible.

As for himself, being seized by the System meant a combination of both.

The most normal person merged with the most extraordinary system, granting him the perspective of a normal human being and simultaneously, power beyond imagination.

This situation allowed him to stand aside and retain the necessary considerations as a human being. He did not gain the perspective as a powerful being automatically as he improved in strength.

“Sir, you no longer have to worry about experience points after this,” said Fang Ning in a serious tone once the thought occurred to him.

“Eh, this is good news. Why do you sound as though you got hacked…” said the System, surprised.

“Eh, that description is indeed accurate,” Fang Ning was speechless. “Anyway, it’s definitely not easy to change the minds of those mighty beings from the Upper Realm, so you’ll have plenty of chances to beat them up…”

“That’d be great. Then, I’ll no longer have the need to worry about not being able to find great evil to farm. Can’t wait for them to descend,” said the System in anticipation.

“Don’t be cocky. Don’t want you to get a big head now,” lectured Fang Ning.

“Eh, that’s true as well. But the asshole Heavenly Axiom would not allow those bigshots to descend, I assume. Even if they descended, they’ll be restricted…” said the System indifferently.

“Yeah…” Fang Ning nodded. Suddenly, he was hit with a wave of realization and said, “Oh no, I finally understand what Ling Yunzi said before!”

“Can you stop being so jumpy?” The System was displeased. “You do realize that your emotional turmoil is bad to my internal organs, right?”

“Those are actually my internal organs, alright?” Fang Ning rolled his eyes and said resignedly. “You should remember, Ling Yunzi said before, ‘When the time comes, the Heavenly Axiom from your realm will soon become ours.’ Now that I think about it, the motive behind his words is definitely because our Heavenly Axiom has placed a limitation on those powerful beings from the Upper Realm for so long that they hated it down to their core!”

“Oh, it seems like Axiom Daddy is still with me…” Once the System heard his words, it said gratefully, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat the villainous god just now.”

“Exactly. But he’s no idiot as well. He’d definitely start to unravel our umbrella of protection. Our relationship with the Heavenly Axiom is like skin and hair; without skin, what can hair depend on?” Fang Ning said with a serious expression.

“It seems like I shouldn’t scold the idiot Heavenly Axiom that often now, considering all the good deeds it has done,” The System said ashamedly.

“Nonsense, it only cares about the big picture, not the details. It builds the stage, but it won’t ask who the performers will be as long as they abide by its rules,” said Fang Ning nonchalantly.

“But now, someone has come to destroy the stage that it built. If the System doesn’t step in, what can the rest of the world do…” At first, the System’s tone was laden with pity and sorrow, then it suddenly took a full turn and said, “So the idiot Heavenly Axiom should let its hair down. The next time it grants me a reward, it should simply give me double the usual amount.”

“Eh, in your dreams.” Fang Ning shook his head and continued, “Unfortunately, it’s fated to never work.”

“Why don’t you go and talk to it? After all, you’re good friends with both his sons. You can at least pull some strings, can’t you?” The System persisted.

“Eh, using the backdoor and pulling strings? Is this how a Hero should act like? No way.” Fang Ning rejected immediately.

“Hmmph, you’re just being lazy…” grumbled the System.

“Lazy to talk to you…” Fang Ning ended the conversation.

…

At the same time, in Northern China where the headquarters of the Truth Department are located, a heavy atmosphere was slowly seeping at every corner.

In a huge meeting room, a horrifying scene was playing on the big screen on the president’s platform.

Dark black bodies littered the scene, lying between the low slum houses with their eyes full of terror.

“This is– This is…” Ren Ruofeng gripped his folding fan and said severely, “This is a God indeed!”

“There will always be good eggs and bad eggs among humans and gods. If one meets a kind god, one is lucky; if one meets an evil god, disaster looms.”
