In the System Space.
Fang Ning was playing a game. Recently, the situation had stabilized and several masterpieces that fit the background of the times had been published.
‘Devil Hunter’, ‘God of Justice’, ‘Pharos of the East’… were all recently released this year. After the programmer’s cultivation, it was obvious that his work efficiency increased as well. At least, there were much fewer bugs, and the update iteration of game patches was also much faster.
Of course, the most popular game, or the ‘Battle of the Beasts’ that the Truth Department released behind-the-scenes was in its third year of operation and was still growing strong. It had spread across the globe.
However, Fang Ning had a characteristic. When he played a game thoroughly, he would not be bothered to touch it again. That was why his brilliance and glory in this game was destined to become legendary history.



Stop playing. Anderson has something to report. Go take a look.
The System snapped.
‘This Host really only knows how to laze around.’
After feeling guilty, he would exert himself for a while but return to his decadent life after making a small achievement… This routine had repeated so many times that it had long since given up.
Terminal procrastination syndrome was indeed incurable.

Alright, I’ll go.
Fang Ning reluctantly stopped his game and emerged from the cyber cafe.

What’s up with Anderson?
He asked question after question.

Oh, he detected that three top-notch cultivators in the Draconic Penitentiary have abnormal movements. I don’t understand what they said either. You’ll have to go and find out.
The System prattled.

Oh, it should be the Old Master Ling Yunzi, the Upper Realm Heavenly Treasured Child Yun Ze, and that four-headed snake monster Aachman. They’ve been locked up in sealed cells inside and outside. They have no way of contact with the outside world, so what abnormal movements can they make?
Fang Ning was baffled.

You’re really lazy to the point of no return. You don’t even care about the overall situation. Anderson made an report to me the other day saying that they found some unusual circumstances, so he applied for the three men to be transferred to an ordinary cell for a period of time so that they could feel the movements of the Upper Realm.
Sir System said disdainfully.

Oh, my bad. I was busy at that time. Besides, you didn’t call me, how would I know about that?
Fang Ning felt guilty and hurried over to the Draconic Penitentiary.



What would be the point in calling you anyway? You were having the time of your life playing.
The System refused to let him go.

Uh, you really do understand me.
Fang Ning said sheepishly.
Right in front of him, he saw Anderson, whom he had not seen in a long while, looking just like an ordinary white young person. It seemed they benefited a lot by relying on Sir System’s Soul Strengthening Pill. His cultivation speed was even faster than before.
‘Their Spiritual Slash was unrivaled in this world and had reached the peak, but since entering the Draconic Penitentiary, they had no place to perform.’

Sir, according to my analysis, there might be a huge change soon.
Anderson’s face was solemn.

Speak clearer. Don’t be so mysterious.
Fang Ning felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Uh, it’s like this. According to my intelligence collection and collation from the past two years, as well as what I’ve seen and heard in the Upper Realm before, and the recent unusual movements of the three top-level detainees, I’m guessing the Upper Realm will be making a big move soon. This move would likely topple our world.
Anderson sensationalized the news.

Eh, be more specific.
Fang Ning suppressed a shudder. His entire person had been completely freed from the immersion of the game earlier.
In these two years, Vigilante A could be considered unrivaled and invincible by relying on his unique advantages. ‘Those that resisted were defeated, and those that were defeated were subordinate. Thus, they had not been defeated’. That saying was not just empty words.
However, now, the Upper World with its vitality cut off on the verge of extinction was finally ready to make a move.


In contrast, how could the Earth, that was only a corner in the universe, possibly resist?

Well…
Anderson was also very nervous and started to explain.
They were now considered a person with vested interests. As long as the Draconic Penitentiary existed, they would not die unless their soul reached its limit.

Ten days ago, that Old Master Ling Yunzi suddenly started trembling in fear in the ordinary cell, as if there was someone commanding him. There was no trace of the obstinate attitude he had before, only a meek yes-man. This connection was very mysterious, and no news was captured.


The Heavenly Treasured Child Yun Ze revealed a shameful expression, as if he lost and was not reconciled, as if he was explaining something.


Aachman’s face was hallow, but on it was some excitement and expectation.


From the intelligence I’ve collected, the Upper Realm has two main attitudes towards Earth. The first is cooperation, and the second is enslavement. The former is represented by good gods like the Bodhisattva Spirit King, who are willing to spread their knowledge of cultivation and share the world with us. The latter can be represented by those like the Indian Trinity. They hide their heads and show their tails. They pose as myths from Earth and make a fool out of humans and steal spiritual offerings.
Anderson continued.

I see, so which one does Elder Ancestor Bai belong to?
Fang Ning asked curiously.

Oh, he should have been the biggest spectator, but he failed and was reduced to a prisoner. However, we can’t draw any conclusions. After all, he received Heavenly Merit before, but as he was suppressed by the Venerable Dragon God, he did not die, and the Greater Rat Clan thrived again. From this perspective, he succeeded.
Anderson analyzed.
Fang Ning nodded and said seriously,
In that case, it must be enslaving group that is making the big moves?




Indeed. Long ago, Ling Yunzi already said that they would replace the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom. In the past, they had no choice but to go along with the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Axiom. It didn’t matter if they were holy immortals and buddhas, or devils or saints, they had to lower their heads to the Heavenly Axiom. Now, they obviously want to take advantage of the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom’s new life to take a big action and completely enslave the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom the moment it was completely born. By doing that, it’s equivalent to enslaving all people on Earth. By then, even someone as strong as the Venerable One might have to bow down to them…
Anderson worried.
Now, they no longer thought of themselves as a person from the Upper Realm. They considered themselves a member of the Draconic Penitentiary…

They really are ambitious to have such big plans.
Fang Ning was shocked.
He was seized by the System, so he naturally had not developed the mentality of a real powerhouse. He still had the mentality of an ordinary person.
Eating, drinking, and playing every day. Binge-watching and binge-farming were the happiest times of his life…
However, a person with the same strength and natural trait as Vigilante A was far more ambitious than he expected.

Hmph, look at you, are you scared now?
The System said disdainfully,
Quickly communicate with your Axiom Daddy and let it give me more treasures and merit so that I can become stronger and deal with these Upper Realm conspiracies.


Eh, I was wondering why you reminded me to come here so urgently today. So you were waiting for this.
Fang Ning was struck by a realization.

That’s right. Got a problem?
Sir System said righteously.

Nope, you’re right. However, I don’t have the ability to directly communicate with Axiom Daddy. I’ve always waited passively for notifications. It’s impossible to summon the Dragon God since our Friendliness Attribute hasn’t reached a standard.
Fang Ning grew gloomy.



That’s easy, you can just look for that stupid bear. I remember it had the ability to communicate with that stupidly cute Heavenly Axiom. Don’t you think that Heavenly Axiom is really stupid and doesn’t know the reasoning of centralizing resources to do great things?
The System grumbled.

Well, when you’re looking for things in your element, you’re exceptionally smart.
Fang Ning was speechless.

I’m speaking the truth. Let it give those materials, artifacts, and Merit to me. I’ll cultivate and get twice the results with half the effort, and train tens of thousands of Pond to Lake-level evil monsters, save trillions off of experience, and shoot straight to Ocean-level. I won’t have to be afraid of any powerful being then. When they descend, they’ll be at this level at most, and even if they’re higher, even if they exceed the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom’s limits, this universe’s current vitality amount won’t be able to support a higher strength.
Sir System prattled on.

Ay, you’d know the former but not the latter. Under the Heavenly Axiom, the most important thing is balance with external and internal factors, and to never let just one single family become dominant. Just like the food chain, there are layers restraining. There’s absolutely no invincible existence. Even the overlord humans aren’t invincible.
Fang Ning shook his head.
