Seized by the System

After reading Xie Dong’s report, the System suddenly grew suspicious, “Zheng Dao collected information on the main members of the Truth Department, this guy is only 34 years old, why would he claim to have decades of working experience? This could be a lie created to trick us, you humans only know how to put up an act…”

“Erh…” Fang Ning was surprised at the words, Sir actually initiated suspicion for the first time.

He was not able to remember clearly anyway.

So, he said.” You are really being silly, it’s normal to have decades of working experience even at 34 years old. It doesn’t necessarily mean that he is pretending.”

“You are lying to me again, aren’t you humans supposed to officially begin working only after the age of 16? Then it should be over 10 years of working experience, not decades. This Xie Dong is not an honest person. One really should not judge a book by its cover, he looked like an honest man.” said Sir indignantly.

“I’m not wrong when I say you’re being silly, have you forgotten that there is still one logical explanation…” said Fang Ning indifferently.

“What explanation?” questioned Sir immediately.

“Overtime! If he worked for 16 hours a day, it would be working experience for two people if based on the normal working system of 8 hours a day. This could explain his decades of experience.” answered Fang Ning carefully.

“Oh, based on what you said, I now have 571 x 3 / 365 = 4 and a half years working experience.” said Sir with relief.

“Your calculation is wrong, it should be 571 x 3 / 365 * 11 = 51 years of working experience.” Fan Ning said solemnly.

“Erm, the Mr. Rich Boss is indeed wise. I have forgotten to include the ten cases of threading work… It would seem like I do have rich working experience.” Sir was excited.

“Of course, you will slowly find yourself and others to be at different levels. The richer your working experience, the harder it is for someone to beat you on the same level.” Fang Ning said seriously.

“Somehow, your statement doesn’t seem to be correct, and yet I am unable to pinpoint the inaccuracy, what a headache for the System…” said Sir gloomily.

“You aren’t even interested in saving face, how could you even have a head…” Fang Ning was secretly glad.

No wonder he was always admitting defeat to the System recently. Fang Ning had never realized that it had accumulated more than 50 years’ worth of IQ and EQ. If everyone was able to achieve the same level as it, they would be unbeatable.

…

While Sir was working hard, there were others who were not relaxing either.

There’s a random tropical island in the Caribbean, where clear water babbled on a fine spring day, which used to be the considered the backyard of the US.

The entrance to the Spiritual Insect Realm was here.

This used to be the Demonic Realm, where some of the high-level management of the country used to create Demon Generals but were eventually stopped by Vigilante A and were given to the Bodhisattva Spirit King to convert the Demonic Realm.

The involvement of the Bodhisattva Spirit King had seen him use the power of Buddha to transform the Demonic Realm and become the master of the Realms, giving half of the ownership of the newly reformed Spiritual Insect Realm to Vigilante A.

There was no acknowledgment from the US during the whole process and despite being a powerful country, this case had given them no choice but to take it in their stride in order to let matters rest.

Furthermore, this land did not belong to the US, if they were to challenge the situation head-on, Vigilante A might not go out-of-line but it would be a different matter for the Bodhisattva Spirit King as his followers included the Association of Spirit Kings, who were very good at driving out spirits.

The inner departments within the US were never stable in the first place, if they were to create trouble with a Powerhouse from the Upper Realm, it would come at a price that they might not be able to pay.

The entrance of the Spiritual Insect Realm was at a streamside, two people appeared at the front of the gleaming oval-shaped gateway.

One was a bald old gentleman in a yellow robe, the other was a young man with a smiling face.

“Fawang, good to see you.” the young man gave a smile,

“You are too kind, River God. I am but a junior. It’s too much of an honor for me.” the older bald gentleman cupped his fists courteously.

“Haha, after you, Fawang.”

“No, no. After you, River God.”

The young man smiled and walked towards the gateway without further ado.

Tianjing Fawang followed close behind.

…

The world changed in one step.

It was a fine spring day where the air was filled with butterflies, an atmosphere that was full of life.

The lands were flat, rich and were surrounded with luscious green. It was no longer a black sand dune and there were no dead bodies floating around.

“My two honored guests, do forgive me as I was busy managing the realms and unable to give you a proper welcome.”

An ardent voice came from a distance.

At that moment, the butterflies in the air formed into two welcoming lines, creating a pathway in the middle.

“Haha, merciful Buddha. You are busy suppressing the Devilish Realm, of course, I wouldn’t mind.” the young man smiled and continued on towards the butterfly road.

Tianjing Fawang followed.

Not long after, all three Upper Realm Descended Ones congregated at a spot on the butterfly flower hill.

“Long time no see, Bodhisattva Spirit King. I do recall you owing me quite a sum for incense…” smiled the River God of the Sky River. He may be collecting a debt, but one could not tell it was his intention by the expression on his face.

“Haha, my old friend, River God. You had taken good care of my followers in the past, it’s a favor I will definitely repay.” smiled Bodhisattva Spirit King, who did not shy away from the debt.

“You are indeed a Bodhisattva and keep to your promises, unlike the True Dragons, who are petty and greedy. It is quite difficult to collect a debt from them.” the River God of Sky River shook his head helplessly.

Tianjing Fawang just smiled. Both of them were his seniors. If he was not the pioneer representative of the Upper Realm Buddhists, he would never be qualified to be here with them.

This was a huge opportunity!

One needed to take risks in order to obtain something, if he had chosen the safe route, he would never have the chance to speak to these two honorable seniors.

“Haha, the True Dragons have their difficulties. They have a responsibility to guard the world, which takes a lot… I’m sorry, I’m really unable to continue with the excuses.” Bodhisattva Spirit King laughed.

“Haha, I had never imagined that your descent here would influence you to be so lively, it has given me whole new respect for you.” the River God of Sky River laughed along.

“Haha, isn’t it the same for you, old friend?” Bodhisattva Spirit King said as he shook his head.

“There’s no choice for me, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It gives us much more convenience to make our mark.” the River God of Sky River nodded.

“Exactly. It is the spirit of nature after all and quite easy to adapt to.” praised the Bodhisattva Spirit King.

“You’re too kind. If it weren’t for the Dragon God, I would still be in a catastrophe.” the River God of Sky River sounded like he was haunted by the thought.

“Hmm, by right your catastrophe hasn’t ended. I did a reading for you years ago and you still have at least five hundred years of filling up the sea in order to make up for the sins committed by the Upper Realm’s Sky River.” Bodhisattva Spirit King’s tone was serious.

“Yes, and now that I have released myself from catastrophe, it isn’t necessarily a good thing. Hiding beneath the sea without powers might help me avoid bigger troubles.” the River God of Sky River said seriously.

“The next catastrophe is right in front of you.” said Bodhisattva Spirit King indifferently.

“Do you mean the Heavenly Beings that are about to descend? Isn’t there a Dragon God suppressing them?” the River God of Sky River furrowed his brows.

“Suppress one and another will appear. The basics of their path are different from us, we are destined to not live in harmony.” Bodhisattva Spirit King shook his head.

Tianjing Fawang watched as the two men discussed the matter. He understood them as the Upper Realm has always had a clash in cultivating paths.

The Path of God and the Path of Truth.
