Chapter 380: The Show Is Starting

While Fang Ning and Clan Leader Shi Gan conversed, River God who was beside them had a rather strange look in his eyes, but he did not say a word.

It was after their serious conversation that Fang Ning finally noticed River God’s expression, he was instantly slightly shocked, then he secretly laughed to himself.

Even now, was he going to be overcautious like he was before?

In history, many forces had developed themselves discreetly in a similar fashion, and chose to become impostors as they were starting out.

Only when a force began to succeed and prosper was it shown to the public and start showing up with an open identity.

Now that Vigilante A had become powerful, ready with comrades, had allies both internally and externally, he had definitely reached the stage where his force had taken shape.

As he was caught in his thoughts, Fang Ning said to River God with poise, “My apologies, I forgot to greet you just now, Your Divinity, I’m the person in charge of this Draconic Arcane Realm, the warden of Draconic Penitentiary, the Venerable White Dragon…”

Alright, after introducing himself, he still did not mention his true identity.

Zhi Nan could tell that Vigilante A was Fang Ning himself, but so what about that?

In actual fact, he did not get it right. Vigilante A was being seized by Sir System, whereas Fang Ning was the host…

As for now, Fang Ning was in a soul state, he would not admit that he was “Fang Ning” himself, lest he was plotted a scheme against.

Mmm, he was this afraid of dying.

Upon hearing him, River God forced a laugh then said subtly, “I see, more like I failed to recognize someone important like you, but looking at your Dragonization Path, I think you’ve already attained a higher level. In a hundred years at most, one can officially undergo Dragon Transformation, I believe the Dragon Clan will have another new member then, I shall congratulate you in advance for your success in Dragonization.”

“Haha,” Fang Ning got the overtones from his words, he had already known that he was transformed into a dragon from a human, instead of having the origins of a True Dragon.

This was very normal since this fellow had open-heartedly met the Dragon Clan countless times, so he must have an extremely good understanding of them.

He said politely, “Thank you for your good blessings, Your Divinity. It’s still considered safe here, if you have nowhere else to go, you can stay here for the time being.”

“I guess obedience is the best way to show respect, thank you for your kind offer, Venerable One.” River God smiled courteously. “I have yet to repay your saving grace from before. Just now, I happen to be speaking with the clan leader of Whitestone people about this, though your arcane realm is like a paradise, it lacks running water. I’m willing to fix this shortcoming for you, Venerable One, I’ll build a Life Fountain for you as a gift.”

“That’ll be great, thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Your Divinity.” When Fang Ning heard that, he was elated.

The Draconic Arcane Realm had an area of one square kilometer, it was neither big nor small, thus it was hard to get running water.

Currently, the issue was being countered by using a water circulatory system based on science and technology. Even though it could guarantee the water quality, there were still various drawbacks.

For one, it could not get rid of the many pollutions. Secondly, it consumed a tremendous amount of power.

In order to generate electricity in the arcane realm, they had to rely on the fossil fuel supplies transferred from the outside, the consumption would be too huge in this case.

If he was able to overcome the space barrier and made running water possible, a big issue would be solved.

River God smiled slightly. “This is just a trivial matter, it’s not enough to repay all your kindness. As soon as I regain some of my strength, I’ll look for a big river outside to settle down and reform it, then I’ll connect it with the water vapor in Draconic Arcane Realm. By then, canals will be formed where water flows.”

Fang Ning did not quite understand it, but he was too lazy to be bothered, so he would just leave it to the professional.

Since this fellow wanted to play the role of the River God in human fairy tales, it would be unlikely for him to do any evil.

Stories were set to restrict the behaviors of characters, if he violated this, his position as god would be gone.

Owing to the fact that Fang Ning managed to get the Whitestone people to become sentinels, and that the problematic issue regarding running water in the arcane realm had been solved, he was in high spirits. Hence, he was going to leave.

All of a sudden, the leaves of the lush, evergreen wild ginseng in the herb garden were swaying violently in Fang Ning’s direction.

Due to its extensive movement, it was hard for him not to notice.

Therefore, Fang Ning turned to take a look and found a great green insect clinging tightly onto one of the wild ginseng’s twigs.

He pondered briefly then instantly understood what was going on, and he felt extremely helpless at once.

Fang Ning walked over and advised, “Daqing, this wild ginseng hasn’t fully transformed, don’t lie on top of it, you’ll scare it.”

“I’m not scaring it, I’m talking to it nicely, it won’t be afraid.” Chong Daqing blinked its insect eyes, showing an innocent look.

“Uh, how about this…when it becomes full-grown, I’ll make it send you a few ginseng rootlets,” Of course, Fang Ning knew what Daqing was up to, he immediately comforted it and said, “Actually, this wild ginseng shows human attributes, for an example, it likes to listen to me sing, such that its emotions will rise after and cause it to grow quicker.

“If you lie on it now, it will certainly be low-spirited once it is scared. It won’t grow well if it is feeling down, and when the quality of its ginseng rootlets becomes worse, you won’t be able to get any nice ones.”

Daqing’s eyes turned when it heard that, it was surprised. “I see, it is a ginseng with a good taste after all. I happen to like singing the most, I can sing for it every day. In this case, it’ll be able to grow faster and better.”

“Uh…”

Fang Ning thought to himself, ‘You’re quite reasonable, I have nothing to say against that.’

Followed by that, Fang Ning heard Daqing singing out loud.

“I found a big ginseng,

It wants to eat and it wants to drink,

Above all, it likes to listen to songs.

Daqing has many nice songs,

Ginseng, ginseng, quickly grow,

Follow me home when you’re fully-grown…”

A crisp singing echoed in the arcane realm.

Eh, put a sock in it, Daqing’s singing was streets ahead of his.

As for the wild ginseng that was initially swaying vigorously and sought help from its owner, it had actually calmed down now, to the extent that it was even moving its leaves around to chime with it…

After Fang Ning heard it, he instantly felt a multitude of crits against his psyche.

Just before this, he bragged about himself. However, he knew that this wild ginseng was only flattering him by showing that it loved listening to him sing, it would need to clean its ears after…

In contrast to that, this wild ginseng was clearly into Daqing’s singing at the moment… Since its owner was present, it had no need to flatter the insect.

“Alright, in so doing, an insect and a ginseng are living happily ever after.”

Fang Ning sighed, he could not be bothered about the old ginseng that was courting its own death.

Daqing was a kind child, it probably would not just sit idly to eat that old ginseng away.

“Of course it won’t eat it away, I’ll be watching over it.” Sir System said abruptly.

“You’re peeping into my thoughts again, mousing around my privacy,” After Fang Ning had settled two serious matters, he became bold, he said, “I’ve settled everything, look for the remaining locations yourself and situate the Whitestone people sentinels.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to sleep.”

…

Time flew, and the stars moved.

A month later, Sir System had situated Whitestone sentinels at all the remaining 12 Descended Lands in the upper realm, where a total of 12 allies and 12 Dragon God cellphones were consumed.

At this moment, the approach of a massive event was making Fang Ning anxious again.

It was already the end of September, in about ten days at most, he remembered that it was probably the day for the release of “Stairway to Heaven”.

The Divine Monument would also be officially presented to the beings and clans of the world for the first time ever.

The occasion would not be of a smaller scale than the summoning of Dragon God previously, it could even be said to be even more monumental because it directly involved the immediate benefit of all the clans.

Formerly, when the Dragon God was summoned to settle the danger of returning of the moon, the underground Greater Rat Clan, the demons from the ocean, and many other demons did not really take it to heart.

They all thought that they would not be greatly affected, as humans were mainly the ones who would suffer, whereas they could take the opportunity to benefit from it.

This time, it was impossible for them not to pay attention to it, because this would be the first appearance of the Will of Heavens among all beings.

Since it would be a huge scene, Fang Ning naturally valued it a lot, so he started to get himself together.

He revised the etiquette he learned in the past and notified Anderson to prepare different speeches for him so that he could memorize them beforehand in order to react to all sorts of situations.

He had no choice, as compared to many successful people in the 80’s, he lacked training for big occasions like these since he was young. Hence, he could only make a last minute effort to avoid embarrassing himself.

“Rich-man Host, you’re pretending to be cool again…” Sir System said as it had already seen through his motives.

“What are you saying, how can you say that your host is pretending?” Fang Ning said confidently.

After that, Sir System said things that were hard to comprehend. It said things like “how are humans different from salted fish if they don’t pretend to be awesome”, “host’s pretending can’t be said to be pretentious, it’s to create a good image for others to see” and so on.

While they spoke, Fang Ning arrived at the System Preservation Area, and he retrieved the Divine Monument to check its concrete condition.

The Divine Monument was only the size of a palm, pitch black and unadorned, just like an ordinary monument by the road.

He was not concerned about this, with a stern look, he recited the chant which was passed on to him.

A brief moment later, the monument magnified rapidly, its whole body appeared to be greenish purple and it looked dignified.

Later on, golden letters were seen protruding on the monument.

“The Stairway to Heaven will be activated ten days later.

“Those who made it to the list and have not exceeded the time limit, the allocation of vitality for the next quarter, the production rate of valuable resources, and the birth rate newborn geniuses will be halved.

“Names of those who were overdue three times will be removed from the list.”

This was the content on the monument, by which the golden lights contained an unshakable will.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Fang Ning’s mind.

“Owner of Divine Monument, you need to activate the Stairway to Heaven ten days later to provide entrance to those on the list.”

The voice was mighty but did not have the slightest feeling in it. It was like the wind, the rain, and like the thunder, it gave an awe-inspiring feeling.

Fang Ning was utterly shocked when he heard that, he then asked Sir System, “Sir System, did you hear a voice, one with no emotions at all…”

“No, aren’t you the only one talking here?” Sir System said.

“Uh, then I can confirm that Heavenly Daddy was speaking to me.”

“What? Why did he look for a sloth like you, this is ridiculous…he didn’t look for me.” Sir System was extremely dissatisfied.

“Haha, in Heavenly Daddy’s eyes, you’re just my artifact tool, how can you hope for treatment like you’re his own son?”

Fang Ning said proudly, he felt that he made a right judgment.

Earlier on, the Spirit Bear mentioned that this was how Heavenly Will worked; it would notify one person directly. Whether or not it could be heard, was entirely up to that person, and no response would be given if a question was asked…

As it was sleeping at that time, it missed the Heavenly Will regarding the danger of the moon. As a consequence, initially the Russians could put on an act, but they were the last to find out in the end, and a lot of trouble was caused…

Da Kang the anglerfish had also mentioned before that a voice reminded it of the risk of its path of pursuit.

When Fang Ning thought about this, he said, seemingly lost in his thought, “It seems like the elites of living beings in this realm are probably under the watch of the Heavenly Axiom, I didn’t think that I, Fang Ning, have become someone of importance to the heavens…”

After he said that, he placed his hands on his waist and laughed out loud.

“Is it so? Don’t be overly pleased, Mr. Rich Boss. You seem to have forgotten that once you’re being taken note of by the heavens, you can no longer sleep soundly… Think about Misha the Spirit Bear who overslept.” Sir System struck back at him ruthlessly.

“Uh, this seems like the case… This won’t do, I can’t stop my Dream-Cultivation Method then, I’ll have to pick it up again.”

When sir said that, Fang Ning was unable to refute at all, he knew at once that he needed to work extra hard to settle all his uncompleted projects.

Nonetheless, the most important thing at the moment was not cultivating the Dream-Cultivation Method, but to complete Axiom Daddy’s task.

“Activate the Stairway to Heaven ten days later to provide entrance to those on the list. This is what Axiom Daddy said, what do you think, Sir?” Fang Ning asked in a serious manner.

“Mmm, just look for an empty space for the entrance then.” Sir System said naturally.

“What happens if somebody is not aware of it? There are quite a number of names on the list who come from over ten clans, are you saying that I’ll have to make personal trips to notify them?” Troubled, Fang Ning said so.

He hated running around the most, especially if he needed to interact with a lot of people.

“How can you be the one sending the message? Don’t feel so good about yourself, you’re just the one responsible for opening the entrance, your job is done after that.” Sir System said firmly.

Fang Ning thought for a while and felt the same.

From a different perspective, if the owner of the Divine Monument was someone else, would that person have the ability to inform all the clans in the world?

Time was limited, they only had ten days left…

“Mmm, this will be much simpler. Sir, in your opinion, where should the Stairway to Heaven be placed at so that those on the list will be able to enter?” Fang Ning asked modestly.

There was nothing he could do, as the Sir had gone to places more than he could ever go to in ten lives.

“This is easy, just open it up to the sky above. The entrance will just be placed there, it’ll be their own worries if they can’t enter it, it has nothing to do with us.” Sir replied.

“That’s justifiable, very well, let us inform Ren Ruofeng now, the show is starting soon.”

Right after Fang Ning said that, he showed a proud and complacent stance as if he ruled over the world.
