Seized by the System

It was still and silent on the Lunaette as the blazing sun shone unabashedly on the surface, so harsh it could blind one’s eye.

Somewhere in the crater, in a simple and unadorned wooden house.

Black Robe was kneeling on the ground reporting everything that happened in the arcane realm, no matter how big or trivial, to the demon lord and soon afterward pleaded guilty.

“Master, I’m indeed incompetent, not being able to snatch the Land of Sanguinity, thus allowing Vigilante A and his people transform it into some place of justice, completely wasting its talent. I’ve only able to take a small part in the middle of all that,” Black Robe spoke earnestly.

“Yes, I already know about this. Get up, you’ve done a good job. Well, at least you tried your best.” With a wave of his hand, Zhi Nan gestured for Black Robe to stand up.

“Thank you, Master, for your mercy,” Black Robe said as he quickly got up.

“You’ve set a good stage proposing that mech version 2.0, not bad indeed. I’ve also upgraded it while you’re at it. This is the full set of technical materials, everything’s in it. Take it and use it.” With that, Zhi Nan handed over a black USB flash drive…

If it were not for the fact that both of them were currently at a moon that had no trace of vitality, they might be mistaken as two programmers handling an illegal hand-over if they were to be seen by a passerby, especially with the eerie aura emitting from the both of them…

Although the situation seemed inappropriate, Black Robe seemed to be unaware of it as he accepted the item respectfully with both hands.

“Master’s wisdom is indeed absolutely unrivaled. Even the so-called intelligent righteous gods of the Upper Realm and those Bodhisattva ancestral gods are no match for you. They’re all constantly bragging about how they’re so skillful and proficient but in reality, they only make such a big show of their strength in front of their own people, who knows if they’re really that intelligent. According to the sayings in this realm, true wisdom is the ability to improve productivity in a more efficient and agile way…” Black Robe immediately responded with words of flattery.

“Hehe, that’s the truth,” Zi Nan nodded with a smile, feeling slightly pleased, “I just feel like vomiting when I think about those old faces. They’re all so calculative and they’re always saying how they’re following Heaven’s wishes but it’s never anything to do with the Heaven and Earth, and in the end, they’ve even caused Upper Realm to go into nirvana state…”

“Yes, Master, what you’ve said is correct. Spirit King Bodhisattva and the River God of the Sky River who always steers his decisions according to his convenience. Speaking of, Master, what do you think of the Upper Realm’s saints planting a secret pawn in this realm? Have you thought about how to face this?” Black Robe quickly reminded.

“I’ve already considered this matter. I already know where the secret pawn is, but I don’t have to tell them. Hmph, even if those old logs go against their righteous god, we can just watch from the other side. My concerns aren’t exactly on this matter right now. As long as the big event is completed, I’ll become the only saint of the Great Path,” Zhi Nan replied with a shake of his head.

“Alright then, Black Robe wishes Master to achieve the Great Path as soon as possible, and to unite the universe…”

“Alright, stop sucking up to me. The future is bright and the road is going to be tortuous, you’ve got to be careful in the future. Remember, don’t barge anywhere carelessly so there won’t be any accidents or miscalculations. You can go now.” Zhi Nan held up his hand and interrupted his subordinate, indicating him to leave.

“Yes, yes, I’ll leave now.” With that, Black Robe left in a pleasant mood.

He was extremely loyal to his master and after hearing such great secrets today, he was naturally filled with enthusiasm. When Master had completed the Great Path, the universe would belong to him, no?

All Master’s enemies would have to be completely ridden of!

Even the saints of the Upper Realm were not excluded!

He thought about it as he clenched the USB flash drive in his hand strongly. He then left the wooden house and flew toward Earth which was right below him, making his way to America.

Although America was not a prosperous country, their technology was second to none worldwide. They were still counting on the American factories to complete the processing of the spiritual mechs’ manufacturing information.

He had complete faith in Master’s skills, so he asked no questions. They must have a way to have complete control over those mechs there…

Then, in the future, hundreds of millions of mechs would be at the disposal of Master.

…

In the System Space.

Fang Ning was lying in his bed lazily. He had been playing for more than ten days straight without sleep so he was feeling slightly weak and was unable to get out of bed.

The so-called Lake-level power was just as such.

Taking the shortcut was evidently nowhere as sturdy as achieving it step-by-step through cultivation.

“Mr. Rich Boss, we’ve got another problem,” Sir System said upsettingly.

“If there’s something just handle it yourself, why are you bothering me…” he responded weakly.

“It’s because I don’t know how to give birth…” Sir System sounded frail as well.

“For goodness sake, such bullshit. Do I look like I can give birth?” Fang Ning was utterly speechless.

“Oh, it’s like this. Ren Ruofeng and his people want to expand the population so they’re hoping to borrow our River of Blood to give birth to a life, and then they’ll repay with something. In order to change the River of Blood’s breeding regulations, only you, someone of the Convergence of Path, can do something about it…” Sir System explained.

“That’s not right, you’ve already seized the Heavenly Axiom. Can’t you change the order?” Fang Ning was puzzled.

“Man, why do you have so much to say?!” Sir System was furious. “You do know that I’m just a martial arts system. I don’t understand anything about you humans’ biological breeding theories, so how can I change it? To change the Heavenly Order, one must have the ability of it in reality. Therefore, the person of the Convergence of Path must have a clear concept so that it can evolve.”

“Oh, I see. Well, you really can’t give birth.” Fang Ning finally came to a realization.

“That’s the truth.”

“Can’t you learn though? You’ve seen that tutorial on the Convergence of Paths before and don’t you find it easy to understand the rules of the Heaven and Earth? It’s just human birth theories, how harder can it be compared to the rules of Heaven and Earth in the ‘Convergence of Path Tutorial 101’?” Cozied up in his bed, Fang Ning’s mind was completely blank and he just did not want to move.

“There are specializations in the subject, even you’ve said it yourself. Anyway, I just don’t understand it at all, what more reasons do you want?” Sir System responded justifiably, just like a true underachiever.

Once Fang Ning heard his response, he immediately understood why that fellow was pushing the responsibility to himself.

Whatever Sir System had no interest in, it would not bother to waste time studying it… Just like this incident, learning about the human’s breeding ways was not going to help it improve its strength or powers, so it would not bother to learn.

On the contrary, if it was something like the Convergence of Paths where it could straight away increase its strength, it would understand it at just a glance…

“Hmph, you’re really an old system with fifty years of overtime work experience. You sly fox, you’re learning to be slick…” With no other choice, Fang Ning finally crawled out of his bed.

“Thank you for the compliment,” Sir System replied frankly.

After graduating from college for more than ten years, and now he had to go open his books once more. The worst thing was that it was the reproductive aspect, and that would really cause him a headache. How could it be as good as playing games?

Fang Ning found a book online that specialized in the human reproduction theory. He clicked on one of the entries and started looking through with full concentration.

He could not afford to not concentrate. In the future, hundreds of millions of lives would be decided in the hands of the arcane realm’s Heavenly Axiom. If there were to be any mistakes, countless lives might be affected.

For example, the shortage of one small part… Fang Ning could not possibly bear the consequences of irritating his countless children and grandchildren.

Being a heavenly father was not easy.

Therefore, he should keep all the tough work and uneasiness here. The greater one’s power, the greater one’s responsibility. Since he had taken up the responsibility in this matter, he should understand everything about the human’s reproduction theory thoroughly.

Moreover, he must do some on-the-spot observations as well to truly understand the entire birth process. The time and energy spent on it were so much more troublesome than going against five arhats…

No wonder Sir System threw the responsibility over to him with just the words “I don’t understand”.

Ten or so minutes in, Fang Ning was already extremely confused and began complaining, “This isn’t going to work. I’ll have to find dozens of experts to ask for advice. This is too difficult. How can I possibly master the workings and alter the Heavenly Order to allow the River of Blood to create lives? It’d be a miracle if they’re not a bunch of monsters. It’s better if I experience it once personally…”

Whatever “DNA”, “double helix”, “chromosome”, “embryonic development”… He had long forgotten all these biology knowledge since high school.

Not only that, this was just a tip of the iceberg, more complex things were awaiting him, especially the real birthing process, which was much more complicated.

Theories would forever be just theories. If one did not experience it personally, one would never truly understand the difficulties.

As a former programmer, Fang Ning understood the difference between textbook knowledge and reality online.

A system that was never introduced online would always be able to delicate.

To publish the birthing system online, the work that had to be done was not as simple as reading a couple of books. He had to practice it himself.

“Didn’t you learn about the story ‘Where is Mama’ in elementary school? How difficult can this be? Obviously, you’re trying to laze around,” Sir System scoffed.

“What kind of stupid metaphor is that? That’s not even the case, alright? Don’t spend so much online next time and get polluted by such ridiculous things. Be careful of the virus or your system’s going to break down, got it?” Fang Ning threatened.

“Oh… Is that so?” Sir System said meekly, clearly, being spotted by Fang Ning.

“It’s true. I guess that’s it. I’ll practice it once myself, and you’re not to interfere,” Fang Ning said boldly.

“Alright, got it,” Sir System responded sincerely.
