Seized by the System

Chapter 665: The Alliance of Kind Deities

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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.”

“We should step up the Tripartite Defense of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Humans! We can’t let what happened before to repeat itself!”

“Human Defense has already been implemented. All the factions and schools are studying different defenses; Earthen Defense should focus on the moon-landing to create a moon shield. The expenses are great and not something that can be afforded by a single country. We need everyone’s help to succeed.”

“Heavenly Defense used Nets as its pillars and hearts from the people of China as fuel.”

“Even so, the effects could not still be seen in the next three to five years. We have to come up with buffer strategies...”

Under the stage, everyone looked very serious. They originated from all corners of China, having the skills of the Special Affairs Department and the sharpness of the Truth Department.

However, as they witnessed the scene, they finally realized the terror of Celestial Aura.

Xie Dong, who lurked in the lake of the Black Jade People, was the one who took a live video of the scene.

He was not sure if it was luck that allowed him to record the whole scene without having Divine Punishment befalling him.

Unlike mischief from the demons and devils previously, it was truly a deity who was showcasing his abuse of power this time.

The reason and process were simple enough. The Black Jade People broke the divine contract with a deity by not attacking, and therefore, received divine punishment.

However, in a few seconds, the group of people seemed to have died for no reason.

If reined over by a deity like this in the future, one did not have to imagine to know that those days would be like hell.

In feudal societies, the rule of the imperial power was once considered dark and horrifying. In truth, the high and mighty imperial power was basically incapable of reaching rural areas. The simple commoners’ biggest enemies were often the rich and patronizing aristocrats.

The situation changed now. These deities had information reaching far and wide, like the Internet, that loomed over everyone’s heads.

If there was any hint of disrespect in demeanor, trouble would come.

A life like this was definitely not something that a modern man, who was used to the idea of freedom, could bear.

Everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts. They gritted their teeth in silence as their helplessness floated to every corner of the hall.

The damage done by an evil god was severe, more than anything.

“For the sake of coming up with a buffer period strategy to gain some time to build our defense, we have to transfer some of the benefits to rally kind deities and powerful beings. We ought to contain those villainous gods and devils who descend to the best of our ability.” Ren Ruofeng finally revealed the ultimate objective of the meeting.

In blunt words, to kiss ass to gain favors first... Then, develop yourself in between those crevices.

The latter was fundamental. If one relied only on external forces to live in the falsehood of security, then one would end up losing all support. The history books saw too many repeats of the same mistakes.

“And the first kind deity that we should pull over to our side is the Upper Realm Real Dragon, the Venerable Dragon God, who will soon be born into the world!”

The screen shifted to show a handsome young man with a gaze as soft as jade and a mischievous look, yet he was expressionless.

Time rushed past. After two years, there was no hint of age on his face, like a young man of around twenty years old.

The audience had mixed feelings.

Once upon a time, barely two years ago, many people had one too many opinions about this character, thinking that he was disregarding the law and was only concerned about his vengeance.

When compared to now, it was obvious why he was highly appreciated.

Compared to the powerful beings on the Upper Realm who did whatever they wanted, even the cruelest king in the history of human beings could not compare.

After all, if those cruel kings wanted to do bad deeds, he would need his servants to do it. Yet, the deities could go it just a thought.

Also, there would come a time where the cruel kings would have to stop doing bad deeds. Yet the deities would live on.

This time, if it was not for the Venerable One, this evil god would have eradicated a whole race.

Compassion was common to all men. If today he could kill off a race, tomorrow he could kill himself.

However, no matter how powerful the Dragon God was before, he could not kill off these villainous gods directly. It was obvious that a new time had come...

“We will build an Alliance of Kind Deities and spread the idea of those powerful beings. Participants must have at least Inland-sea level, accepting the offerings from China to defeat the evil trio...”
