Seized by the System

After Fang Ning returned from the Draconic Penitentiary, before he was able to be in a daze, he delivered the message to Ren Ruofeng and the others.

‘They’re probably very busy too, won’t they?’ He wondered.

He moved away from his computer, the WeChat message for Ren Ruofeng was still in the message box. Just like that, the message that determined humans’ fate was sent out in the most common method, with no special encryption to it, and no special channels used. It was just like a usual conversation.

Fang Ning leaned against the couch. Although there were many prediction drawings done by Anderson and their followers, he was clueless about how the matter stood. A feeling of helplessness sprung in his heart.

This was natural. Faced with a ghastly change, he innately felt tiny and powerless – A celestial object that had existed throughout time was drawing closer to Earth. Humans were more insignificant than ants, right?

He let out a long sigh as he positioned his head backward on the couch, he felt so dejected as if he was showered in the blues of a poet.

“How are we going to live in the future?”

“Yes, with the extreme change nearing, it won’t be easy to survive.” Sir lamented as well, it then shifted the topic. “The money saved in your little treasure house will depreciate and will be worthless soon, you should quickly withdraw it for me to spend…”

“Look at you.” Fang Ning’s depression instantly vanished into thin air, he quickly paid attention to his wallet. “I’ve entrusted Zheng Dao to change them into hard currency, they’ll only increase in price, they’ll never ever decline in value…”

“Damn it, you were pretending just now, I thought you’ll spend your money lavishly after feeling so down.” Sir was unhappy.

“Pretend? I wasn’t pretending, the near future is truly terrifying but I’ve made early preparations. I was only sighing, after all, I’m a human, I have human feelings unlike a system like you.” Fang Ning expressed firmly.

“Oh, stop sighing then, in case I’ll have to worry that something’s wrong with your mental state, I’ll need to do a lot of work to inspect that.” Sir replied in low spirits.

“… Hehe, I’ll go do some training now.”

“How rare, why aren’t you playing?”

“I feel guilty. I can’t play.”

“You can still be saved.”

“Hehe.”

…

In Truth Department Headquarters, everyone was on alert all night long. In simpler terms, all members were working overnight, including the aunt in the cafeteria.

A night had passed, even until dawn, the Moon was still hanging in the sky as if nothing had changed.

“The observatory’s observed data shows that the distance between Moon and Earth is unchanged.”

“Did the Venerable Dragon God provide us with the wrong information? Didn’t he say that the Moon will begin shifting closer to Earth from today onwards?”

“He said that it’ll begin, maybe it’ll take more time?” Somebody justified.

When the Sun rose up from the east day after day, everyone was slightly relieved, as it seemed like they had lived through another night safely.

Every day mattered to them. Perhaps all of this might not happen in the end, they could not say for sure.

While everyone thought that they were lucky, they suddenly heard somebody yelling anxiously, that person pointed at the sky with a horrified look. “Look, look above us!”

One by one, people started running out of offices, whereas some stuck their heads out of the windows to take a look.

All at once, countless heads were seen looking up at the sky from various office buildings.

What was that above the sky?

Up in the blue sky where the white clouds were, a gigantic shadow appeared. Around it, small shining ball-shaped objects were seen turning around this shadow.

Somebody reacted quickly and took a telescope out to look.

Subsequently, waves of agitated voices were heard.

“That, that shadow’s surface? It’s a flattened Moon!”

“How far is it away from us?”

“It’s 40,000 kilometers away from us!”

“Tss… What are those objects around it?”

“Those tiny round spots? They look like stars.”

“Quickly report this!”

“Quickly report this to the upper management!”

“Quickly investigate the situation of the coast!”

“That piece of…”

Directed at all corners of the world, phone calls were made, encrypted emails were sent, and the news was rapidly spread on the internet.

“The Moon vanished, a piece of land appeared in the sky!”

“Tsunamis are everywhere, but they don’t seem like a serious issue?”

…

In the System Space.

“Mr. Rich Boss, Mr. Rich Boss, wake up now, something huge happened!”

“Enough with the shouting, I just had my medicine. You’re being very noisy, you’re not going to stop until I turn deaf, are you?” Fang Ning exerted a lot of energy before he could get up from the bed, he yowled lazily.

That was right, as he cultivated, he fell asleep habitually…

“People might think that you can only fall asleep by taking sleeping pills, you sound like you’re suffering…but as a matter of fact, you fell asleep from eating my Honey-flavored Pill.” Sir was being straightforward.

“Stop blabbering.” Fang Ning immediately changed the topic. “What’s the matter?”

“You’ll know when you come and take a look.”

Fang Ning was reluctant to go out, he looked out through the System View.

“Tss…” As soon as he found out what was going on, he exclaimed, “Axiom Daddy is really too efficient, it hasn’t been long since it notified us about this, it actually happened the next day?!”

“Nonsense, did you think that everyone procrastinates like you? Putting things off till tomorrow, further delaying them to the next day until you forget about them?” Sir remarked scornfully.

“Quickly take a look, is Qi City flooded?” After all, Fang Ning was not the true hero, at the critical moment, he was most concerned about his properties…

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely not flooded. Previously, you’ve been scaring yourselves, though many waves were indeed seen on the ocean’s surface, they only flooded a part of the cities along the ocean, then they went away.” Sir was glad.

“Is that the actual case? As expected, the Heavenly Axiom with consciousness is totally different from the natural world with no consciousness…” Fang Ning responded thoughtfully.

It turned out that Axiom Daddy was not that cruel at the end of the day… This made sense as living creatures on Earth were its resources and manpower, who would actually spend time on tossing their manpower around?

In the past, the oblivious nature was unbothered about this. Disasters were disasters, there were no negotiations if it were to exterminate a person. One would be capable if one could survive but would be considered to have deserved it if one failed…

Of course, it was not the Holy Mother, the occurrence of the Divine List had proved that things were played out according to the survival of the fittest. It was the unshakable basic rule that it inherited from the original rule of nature.

“Eh, something’s happening!” Fang Ning blurted out abruptly as he looked outside.

An awe-inspiring gigantic bear showed up in an instant on the northern horizon. Obviously, since the Earth was arc-shaped, even with Vigilante A’s superb vision, he could only see its waist.

The gigantic bear was seen emerging far away, from the north. It was probably growing taller continuously, thus became visible to Fang Ning who was at Lu Dong in China.

“Go over there swiftly, what is that gigantic bear up to?”

“What can it be up to, it’s certainly thinking of holding the sky from under.” Sir casually added, “This idiot, it sleeps when it’s supposed to work, now that we don’t need it, it becomes proactive again.”

“Let us just watch first, it’s not necessarily true that we don’t need it.” Fang Ning continued, “Earlier on, Axiom Daddy informed it a few times, it’s impractical that it’s unnecessary, it was probably reminding it to make certain preparations.”

Vigilante A dashed into the sky.
