Fang Ning believed he was the only person in the world who knew the truth behind this battle.
As for Sir System, it was technically not a person.
“Here you are scolding me behind my back again, it has actually evolved to saying I’m not a person…” Sir System said gloomily.
“You’re peeking into my thoughts again, are you trying to control what I think?” Fang Ning said angrily.
Sir System had nothing to say.
Fang Ning then only started to check the System notification for the battle.
[Golden Deity’s form of ‘Million Lights of the Deity’,System under attack, Effect: No defense, no avoidance.
The System used 1.5 trillion experience points, upgrade for System Space.
The System Space has received Deity Level Special Skill –”Attack Absorption”.
The System absorbed Golden Deity’s attack.
The System caught Golden Deity.

The System received Astronomical Figure Reputation.
The System’s Mythos in the galaxy has been raised.]
Fang Ning was very surprised and could not believe what he saw, saying, “Wow… Does this skill actually need 1.5 trillion experience points? Has the notification gone wrong somewhere?”
“What do you think? I had to use all the experience points gained from the malevolent spirit formed by the energy from Chong Daqing and the five arhats to exchange this skill. Otherwise, I would have to escape and that would affect my reputation…” Sir System said bitterly.
“Well, that’s about right. After all, he was sent down to suppress earth and to create a new order determined by those in the Upper Realm. He sure was not sent down for nothing, it was definitely worth the points. If you had killed him, it would have compensated you for the loss, right…” Fang Ning said hopefully.
“There’s nothing to compensate. This guy’s attack is strong but even at full power, his strength is incomparable to those of the five arhats… Even if I had killed him, he would only be worth 80 billion experience points,” Sir System said bitterly.
Fang Ning was shocked but tried to console Sir System, “What? Isn’t that a big loss? Although it really wasn’t a total loss because you still do have a heart. You can continue using this ability, unlike those black-hearted netizens who get new gear and then refresh a new version, only to end up with rubbish, which means they would have to start all over again.”
“Of course I have always been a kind-hearted system… There is no loss though, that Golden Deity may not have high combined strength, but it does have a rare ‘light forming’ ability. It’s like creating that demon from the Draconic Arcane Realm, I can consider using it to upgrade my Dragon Soaring Sword,” said Sir System happily.
“There you go showing off again, I am really glad to hear that,” Fang Ning said in relief.
When he first saw the Golden Armored Deity, he had thought that they would lose.
He did not expect Sir System to come up with a plan at the last minute and destroy the deity, ‘curbing the enemy to go for the win’ was indeed the way to go…
“It’s not too bad, but I’ve used up everything. You would need to help me collect more resources and cultivate malevolent spirits and save up experience points to continue curbing them. If a stronger opponent comes next round while we have no experience points, it would not be good for us…” Sir System said worriedly.
“Haven’t we already started doing it? Don’t worry about it,” Fang Ning prepared to go to work. They were already on the brink of danger as this one deity from the Upper Realm was just that start, who knows how many more there would be in the future.
“That’s good. After you are done with your preparation, I’ll go and forge my precious sword,” said Sir System as he handed the body to Fang Ning.
“Good, you go and get busy,” Fang Ning was secretly happy at the words as now he could go around acting like a hero.
…
Outside Mount Indigo, the priests were discussing among themselves.
“The Venerable Dragon God is really formidable. That Golden Armored Deity may look powerful but he was defeated in one move.”
“Yeah, what is going on with this Upper Realm deity? His stance might have worked with us small fries, but how could he have thought it would work on the Venerable Dragon God? He really was over-confident.”
The priests in Mount Indigo might not look it but every one of them were elites representing China, even globally when it came to top cultivators in the world.
Each of them was either rich or noble, otherwise, they would be naturally gifted. Their Vitality aptitudes were all 2B and above…
Mount Indigo’s Monastery Master was after all a Lake-level powerhouse. This was a place that the Upper Realm deities wanted for themselves.
Their views would be quickly disseminated to the world’s cultivators, changing the mainstream perception toward the Upper Realm’s deities and Buddhas.
Fang Ning had always been too lazy to poke his nose into these affairs. Naturally, he was not well-versed on the ecosystem within the world of cultivators.
The deity in white did not leave but took a good look at Vigilante A and looked confused.
She could not help but ask, “Where did you take the Golden Deity?”
Fang Ning causally replied, “He was an arrogant megalomaniac and ignored the rules of this world by killing people over small matters. I have suppressed him within a treasure, never to be released.”
“I see. He did go too far but I would still like to advise you to release him for your own good. Otherwise, you will only incur the wrath of the deities and Buddhas, it is not a wise move,” the deity in white said casually.
“This would be impossible. If one disobeys the rules of this world, they will be punished, even if they are deities and Buddhas. This is a place that does not allow lawlessness. Morals exist here,” Fang Ning said in all seriousness.
“Urm…” the deity in white watched Vigilante A intensely with an uncertain look on her face as if considering if his words were true or false.
These were only mere mortals, why would he offend the powerful deities and Buddhas over them?
Oh yes, that old priest did mention that Vigilante A was cultivating the Path of Heavenly Punishment and had to be under the control of this world’s Heavenly Axiom.
Judging by what had happened earlier, one could not fight against him by going face-to-face as he was quite powerful. The only way was to approach the matter in a roundabout way. When this world’s Heavenly Axiom is in the hands of the Upper Realm, Vigilante A would be the most powerful tool.
The Golden Deity’s fighting abilities and his strength were considered superior among the deities and Buddhas.
The big robbery in the Upper Realm that resulted in its diminishing vitality had already caused the powers of the deities to be decreased. After arriving at the Lower Realm, it not only decreased further but the deities were also subjected to the control of this world’s Heavenly Axiom.
However, Vigilante’s A fighting prowess was top-notch. In fact, he had a unique attack mode that was far superior than most of the deities and Buddhas.
These deities and Buddhas would be able to suppress him at the peak of their power. However, under the circumstances of having equal power, they would not hold a candle against him.
That was why the deities and Buddhas had sent the Golden Deity down to suppress the earth and build a foundation.
They had not expected him to be defeated by the Venerable Dragon God in one move. It looked like he had deep roots and foundation that had surpassed the imagination of the deities and Buddhas.
At this thought, the deity in white decided not to prolong this battle, she would not choose to fight because she was a deity that did not enjoy battles. Furthermore, she has never studied much about fights but rather preferred to use talismans to defend herself.
Her strengths laid elsewhere.
For example, controlling a Heavenly Axiom.
Casually, she said, “In this case, I’ll not plead on his behalf. Since you have already suppressed the Golden Deity, do you anything else to settle?”
“There is none. Although I do want to officially inform all of you that you are welcome to take refuge on Earth but you are not allowed to create trouble, especially harming innocent lives,” Fang Ning masqueraded as he said.
He had a strange feeling about these deities and did not know exactly how to place them with their similar emotions as mortals with happiness, anger, sadness, and laughter, even when they have lost, they would admit their fear…
“I understand. I will take my leave now,” the deity in white looked at him intensely before flicking her sleeves and disappeared.
