Chapter 1078 - Working Overtime To Find A Way Forward (2/2)

“It’s still too early to tell who has won this round. From today onward, you’ll continue to work overtime,” Sir System said heartlessly.

“Wise men of the past once said that choice is more important than hard work, so right now we shouldn’t be working overtime. Instead, we should find out the way to become the Master of the Universe first.”

After working overtime for ten years, he was nearly dying of exhaustion now. He could not allow this to continue on.

“Oh, what you said makes a lot of sense. Well then, work overtime and find us a way forward.”

Fan Ning was speechless again.

…

It was two in the morning, and Fang NIng was still working.

After going through countless materials and questioning numerous related parties, he finally arrived at a conclusion.

“It seems like we must pay a visit to the Upper Realm and find the Heavenly Axiom of the Upper Realm to get our answers. After all, it’s the only entity that’s closest to this position,” Fang Ning mused.

“It’s too dangerous there. No way,” Sir System said immediately.

“You’re right,” Fang Ning agreed, sounding just as cowardly.

He was definitely not a self-torturous protagonist. For the sake of achieving a breakthrough, there were some protagonists who would purposely seek out training methods that would require them to place themselves between life and death. Frankly speaking, were they not just taking advantage of the fact that they could not die easily?

If they had tried to do this in real life, they would have died at least eight out of ten times during such trainings. They would have lost their lives so many times that they might have no more lives to lose…

“Since we can’t ask the Upper Realm Heavenly Axiom directly, then we can only ask indirectly through someone else,” Fang Ning said helplessly.

“In that case, what if someone lies to us?” Sir System hesitated.

“Right, that’s a problem too. I have a question: If you upgraded all the areas that could be upgraded in your system module, would you be able to become the Master of the Universe?” Fang Ning asked with slight hope.

“Oh, this I don’t know. I only know that, in such a case, I would become stronger. In fact, I would become so strong that there would be no room for further improvement.” Sir System said excitedly.

“Well then, it’s better for us to strengthen our foundation first rather than reaching for something beyond our grasp. We’ll improve ourselves while keeping a close watch on those two dragons to see what they’re actually doing. Then, we’ll cut off the paths they’re planning to take in advance, so that they’ll be left with no way to proceed further.” Fang Ning finally managed to cook up a scheme.

He had no other ideas. Sir System’s situation was too unusual, so they could not count on anyone else to point the way forward for them. They could only rely on themselves.

“That’s a great idea. Let’s do that then. Now, quickly go and check to see if the malevolent spirits I’ve been keeping are mature enough for harvesting. I remember a pig farming quality-price ratio graph said that you can’t keep them for too long or the quality-price ratio will decrease.” Sir System urged.

“Okay, got it.”

As Fang Ning was speaking, he came over to the north side of the System Space.

After a few rounds of expanding the System Space, a customized malevolent spirit farm had been built here.

The area was not very large, and was only the size of the basketball court. There were rows upon rows of blue and white porcelain vases neatly arranged on the ground.

Needless to say, the vases were filled with malevolent spirits.

Sir System fed them pills and food for all three meals every day. By now, these had all grown into Sea-level malevolent spirits.

As Fang Ning walked through the place, he did feel rather afraid and on edge. After all, the powers of the presence contained in most of these vases were much stronger than his soul.

“A living soul has entered this place…” echoed a voice from a vase all of a sudden.

“It’s been so many years since I’ve consumed a living soul. This is so frustrating!”

“Let us eat him!”

“Eat him!”

The chaotic and evil voices began to spread in the malevolent spirit farm.

These spirits were really not aware of the situation they were in at all. Then again, if they possessed the slightest rationality, they would not have been kept here but would have already been redeemed and saved by Bodhisattva.

When Fang Ning heard these words, he no longer felt afraid. After all, the unknown is the scariest part.

“All you evil, confused dimwits, your fates have already been decided since the start. However, everything exists for a reason, and yours is to become nourishment for Morality.”

“Okay, Richie, stop showing off. Tell me, are they ready for harvest?” Sir System said impatiently.

“Yes, they are. Drag these noisiest ones outside to be executed first.”
