Chapter 1055 - God-level System (1/2)
Chapter 1055: God-level System
Somewhere in the mountains on Earth.
The Fire Dragon, Long Lie had disappeared and its whereabouts were unknown.
The only ones left in place were White Dragon and Purple Dragon.
“We’ve appeased that guy, for now. On principle, at least he has agreed with our decision to maintain the order — to assign ranks and limit the amount of magical energy consumption in order to prevent disorderly conflict,” the White Dragon said, slightly pleased with itself.
“That’s good.” Purple Dragon was satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation. “As for the matter of hierarchy, well, that doesn’t matter. After all, we can live for countless lifetimes; the mortals live only decades, so there’s no need for us to fuss over that. We can’t be bothered with their offerings either as even the slightest things that we produce are valuable resources.”
“That’s right.” White Dragon nodded, but later shook its head. “However, that Dragon God is easy to deceive. After all, he is still inexperienced and it looks like he really did think that we were going to make him the Dragon Saint…”
“Haha, he’s still a young dragon after all,” Purple Dragon scoffed. “How was he to know, that if the Dragon Clan had not been hoodwinked by those saints would we have never placed our faiths in a saint?”
“Yeah, let the guy do the work for us so we don’t have to waste our energy.” White Dragon smiled sardonically.
“Hehehe…the world is cruel.”
“Hehehe… that’s how it is.”
The two dragons’ eyes met, and they laughed at the same time.
Only this time, their laughter was filled with delight.
…
After the Law-enforcing True Dragons had descended to Earth and the battle of the two dragons had ended, the days returned to a rare state of tranquility.
The major forces had progressed rapidly in an orderly manner, without causing any significant disturbances.
After all, the resources had to be there in the first place before any trouble could be caused, and such resources had to come from hard labor.
The only difference was that some depended on their efforts, and some forced others to work for them.
Time passed by swiftly, and within the blink of an eye came the end of the sixth year of Shenyuan.
One day, Sir System suddenly gave Fang Ning a heads-up.
“I’ve made the preparations to breakthrough God-level System status. Only this time, I may have to go into isolation for three, or maybe five hundred years. You need to be prepared.”
“What? Three, five hundred years? That, that’s quite long,” Fang Ning exclaimed.
“What sort of attitude is that?” Sir System exclaimed even louder. “You think five hundred years to become a God is long? You must’ve read too many novels where those characters become kings in a year and emperors in three. Within less than half a year in the timeline, they’ve already gone from a peasant to someone who could beat up the Gods. Is this realistic?”
“You were about the same, weren’t you? In five years, you’ve defeated a True Dragon that was one level higher than a God, yet you need five hundred years to turn into one. That time span doesn’t make sense.” Fang Ning appeared skeptical. “Also, the timeline in novels cannot be regarded as time. Readers take into account the duration and the events occurred to interpret how much time has passed. It is not to be taken as the same as real-time. Many big events have occurred since the time of your creation. I think that a year of cultivation in isolation is more than enough for you to become a God.”
“You’re guilty of making an idealistic mistake. You’ve made a brash, unrealistic judgment,” Sir System said plausibly. “I said that it would take five hundred years based on considerations for existing power levels which is founded on solid ground. While I may be able to defeat a True Dragon, it doesn’t mean that my powers have reached the level of a God. I had relied on external forces, just like a child who shot an adult with a gun. Now, would you say that his intelligence and strength exceeded that of an adult? It would still take him 18 years before he would be able to surpass an adult.”
“You can’t. What’ll happen if I get bullied while you’re gone?” Fang Ning found himself at a loss.
“There has never been a savior nor a System, and you have to learn to stand on your own feet. I’ve already taken care of you for over five years,” Sir System advised earnestly.
“Uh, what if an enemy shows up while you’re in isolation? It might be better for you to leave a combat thread to act as Sir System No.2?” Fang Ning was persistent.
“I understand your concerns, and I would never let myself fall in danger. During my time of isolation, I will deposit you and your body into an absolutely secured safe place. There won’t be any dangers,” Sir System said confidently.
“F*ck…” Fang Ning bristled, “so I’m supposed to be imprisoned while you’re in isolation?”
“That is the truth. You want safety, then that’s the only way. Don’t worry, the place I’ve found is definitely secure. Also, in order to keep you from getting bored, I’ve prepared millions of books, both ancient and modern, from China and abroad alike, and tons of games. You’ll definitely enjoy yourself,” Sir System reassured him.
“Then, I’ll give it a go?” Fang Ning found himself slightly swayed. It would not be so bad if he could spend five hundred years playing and enjoying himself.
“Mhm, give it a go. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied,” Sir System quickly replied.
