Seized by the System

Draconic Arcane Realm.

“Sob sob sob,” a skulk of foxes was crying uncontrollably.

“It’s all our fault, we did not see through the tricks of those shameless gods and deities. We brought so much trouble to our brother-in-law…” A young red fox wiped the tears off with its paws.

“We were too naïve. We should have realized that their gift came with a price. Their help must have come with an ulterior notice. Our sister’s relationship with that handsome human man has been jeopardized. He will think that this is our doing,” the snow-white fox said in depress.

“Don’t worry, our master is an intelligent and wise man, he can tell right from wrong. He would never malign all of you spirit foxes. Don’t worry, girls, just stay here.”

Black Dog ran here and there consoling one fox after another, his feet barely touched the ground from all the running around. He was truly playing the role of a ‘comfort dog’ at this point.

However, he did was not successful in the end. None of the foxes were consoled and all they did was continue crying.

“I give up. Better for me to go look for the master.”

Black Dog took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to his master, explaining the matter.

Fang Ning was lying down in the System Space lounge, he was planning to have a good sleep with his body.

He had just dozed off when Sir System heartlessly took back control of the body.

He was adamant with his decision, “You won’t know what is happening around you after falling asleep anyway, don’t waste the use of this body by sleeping. I might as well take over the body. Don’t you want to have your revenge?”

The handphone was ringing and he sat up lazily. Only then did he realize that there was unfinished business.

“Let me have the body back,” Fang Ning clamored at Sir System.

“Why?” Sir System asked suspiciously.

“I need to console all those foxes. Oh yeah, I remember that my body is able to enter the Draconic Arcane Realm, right?” Fang Ning was doubtful.

“Of course, you can. The Draconic Arcane Realm is an equipment space, not my System Space. You can go in anytime you want,” Sir System replied condescendingly.

System Notification: (System has terminated control status)

Fang Ning took back control of the body and closed his eyes. He then appeared at the Draconic Arcane Realm.

“Master, you are here,” Black Dog wagged his tail as he welcomed him.

At this point, the foxes suddenly stopped crying.

“I am aware of the situation. It had nothing to do with any of you, there is no need to blame yourselves. The gods and deities have chosen the shameless way by threatening the innocent. The heavens will make them pay for it in the future. All who were part of this will not be able to escape,” Fang Ning said righteously.

“Brother-in-law, you are indeed a hero…” the foxes looked at him starry-eyed.

Black Dog was immediately gloomy as he said to himself quietly, “A comfort dog indeed has no human rights.”

Spending half the day consoling them could not even compare to one word from his master.

The snow-white fox lightly treaded over, saying shyly, “Thank you for your understanding. These gods and deities are always acting this way, with no notion of trust nor an inkling of mercy. Most of them have hearts made of stones and are very cold entities, unlike us lower-level spiritual living beings, who have more compassion.”

“Don’t worry, you are all welcome to stay in peace. I’ll arrange a post for you,” Fang Ning said simply.

“Thank you, hero. Little foxes such as us have not much talent but we do have a green thumb when it comes to gardening and a penchant for alchemy,” said the white fox in delight.

“That does sound good. I have another piece of land somewhere planted with many lower quality herbs and pills that needs help with managing. If all of you foxes are willing to condescend to take the post, I will definitely pay you a worthy amount,” Fang Ning suddenly had the idea.

“Oh, dear brother-in-law, you are a big landlord?”

“That seems right, this land alone is not small, and you actually own another piece elsewhere, this must be a sign from the deities.”

“Looks like our sister is matched with the right person, she will have no worries for the rest of her life.”

The little foxes whispered to each other.

Black Dog immediately took the chance to show off to them, “This is nothing, my master even owns a realm and is also renting half of another realm to a Buddha.”

“Wow… such a generous hero of humans,” the little foxes were once again starry-eyed.

“When we were in the Upper Realm, some of the human swordsman there were on the poor side, only a few more famous ones were able to make a good living… Brother-in-law, you really are incredible.”

Black Dog immediately puffed up his chest, “I am always inspecting these realms to make sure no one causes trouble. Anyone of you can look for me if there are any issues. This is my WeChat number HG98892. Do jot it down, ladies, for easy communication in the future.”

“Oh, what’s a WeChat?” Asked a surprised red fox.

Black Dog was flirting with the Spiritual Foxes while Fang Ning politely made small talk with a few leaders. After that, he dropped by to see Ren Ruofeng’s daughter, who was in the middle of cultivating and left after answering a few of her questions on cultivation.

…

System Space.

“Mr. Rich Boss, you really did well. You’ve gotten another batch of laborers,” said Sir System in admiration.

Fang Ning had nothing to be proud about and sighed, “So what? There’s a huge gap between us and these evil deities. We need to constantly accumulate advancement in order to go up against them.”

“You’re right. You can be in charge of this from now onwards,” said Sir System decisively.

“Urm, I have a headache. Let’s talk about this tomorrow.” Fang Ning relinquished control of the body and went straight under the covers in the lounge. It was wintertime and it was nice and warm under the covers…

“This is unacceptable, how can we have our revenge when I’m stuck with a lazy bum like you?” Sir System said resentfully.

“A fool’s haste is no speed. Let’s take it slow,” Fang Ning pretended not to hear him.

…

Earth. Somewhere in the city.

A group of elderly were chatting in the park this afternoon, all of them looking grim.

“Migrate to outer space? It would be more convenient to die.”

“We can’t not go. Didn’t you hear what that evil god said? I never want to experience that pain a second time.”

“Sigh, what do you need to worry about? There are another thirty years before the move, do you really think all of us old geezers can live for another thirty years? It’s the children that will be suffering,” an old man with glasses who looked like a university professor sighed.

“Can’t the country do anything?” another old man, who was dressed tidily, asked in anticipation.

“What is there to be done? These are gods we are talking about. Every one of you used to worship them every single day, asking them to answer your prayers. Now, you truly understand the meaning of professing love for what you really fear. None of these gods are good,” the professor-like old man looked at the sky with a glaze over his eyes.

“Sigh, even those powerhouses can’t do anything much, all we can do is follow the will of heaven…”

“Yeah, we are no match against them. If it wasn’t for the precautions planned by those high up yesterday, it would have been a disaster. Just a heart attack suffered by a normal driver had caused such an accident, it’s hard to imagine what more tragedies lie ahead,” an elderly in the know shook his head.

“What should we do in the future? Do we really want to just give up our ancestral home of Earth to some outsider?” Some of the elderly could not take it lying down.

Well, who really could?

Humans have been populating Earth for generations. Now that a group of gods and deities have appeared for no good reason to chase humans off, it was just like history repeating itself with the Native Americans being driven away by European colonists. Who would willingly leave the land that they love?
