Chapter 585: The Path of Godhood and The Path of Immortality

Seeing that Yun Ze no longer had his arrogance inside the cell, Fang Ning was incredibly satisfied.

Since the other party had stopped talking, he was also lazy to talk nonsense with him. Thus, he told Anderson, “Little Andy, this person’s skull is a little thick. He disregards human life and has a malicious temperament. You must remember to pay more attention to him. Don’t let him become the next four-headed snake monster Aachman.”

A trace of shame flashed past Anderson’s face, and they immediately said, “Yes sir, that Aachman was indeed because of my poor disciplining. It was too stubborn, and even though I used all kinds of methods, it remained indifferent. As for that Mahabrahma, even though he has been completely cut off for more than a year, he’s still pious and devout as ever. This is all my incompetence.”

“Hmph, Aachman is the direct disciple of those three old men. He’s seventh in line and conducts himself with sincerity and honesty. His loyalty is unrivaled. Nevermind a year without contact, even if it’s hundreds of thousands of years, he won’t waver in the slightest.” Yun Ze suddenly spoke from inside the cell.

Fang Ning was puzzled. ‘Why is he interrupting all of a sudden? Is he planning something?’

“What do you mean?” Fang Ning asked directly.

“It’s not impossible if you want Aachman to serve. I can help, but on one condition.” Yun Ze lightly said.

“What condition? Releasing you is impossible. You’ve committed countless crimes and massacred the innocent…”

“Hmph, I just want to purify myself…” Yun Ze interrupted Fang Ning, a hint of arrogance still remaining in his tone.

Fang Ning did not get angry, but instead sat up and took notice.

‘As expected of a Heavenly Treasure Child from the Upper Realm. He’s arrogant beyond measure, but once he realizes the reality, he can quickly compromise and find the most appropriate response instead of fighting to the end unnecessarily.

‘He wants to purify himself. It’s definitely because he wants to continue cultivating his soul in order to find the System Space’s weak spot so he can break out… He really has a firm mind.

‘However, he’ll just end up badly hurt.’

Thinking about this, Fang Ning was just about to agree when the System suddenly spoke, “What are you trying to do? Since when did I want that four-headed snake monster’s service? It’s even taking my aggro like it’s a battery. The more stubborn it is, the more efficiently aggro is produced…”

“Oh, sorry. Even the wisest man will make mistakes. I’m too busy every day, so I even forgot that…” Fang Ning said in embarrassment.

“No, you’re too lazy every day, so you even forgot such an important thing. You’ve never been concerned about my affairs…” Sir System prattled on.

“Hehe, I’ve pretty much let you seize everything, so of course don’t worry. It’s a symbol of my absolute trust in you!” Fang Ning said righteously.

“It’s only a symbol of your laziness and procrastination getting worse…” The System continued to nag.

“How could you slander me like this… Ah, I really miss the time where you were pure and innocent.” Fang Ning said emotionally.

“Yeah, the me back then was easy to fool…” The wise and farsighted Sir System could now see through everything.

“…” Fang Ning was left speechless.

Reality was cruel. Fools would only evolve into experienced fools. If the methods used were not updated, then it would be weird if they still managed to work.

Fang Ning held back for a while before he was struck with inspiration and a new method appeared in his mind. He said righteously, “You’re really wrong about me. I’m bustling around for the sake of our future and the overall situation.”

“Oh? What are you bustling about? You were clearly just pretending earlier to satisfy your senseless spiritual needs.” The System did not believe him.

“Wrong, I’m not senseless. My aim is to convince this guy. Look, he sunk into despair after hearing my profound speech, and is now seeking cooperation. This guy is a Heavenly Treasure Child from the Upper Realm, how many secrets does he know? Anderson and Chong Daqing won’t know any of them. The River God is cowering, so he won’t willingly speak and risk offending someone.” Fang Ning said with force.

“Oh, that makes sense. Then, continue capturing him, but don’t use Aachman as a bargaining chip. Its strength is profound and its very stubborn, so just a few blows and the aggro will soar. It’ll be hard to find another like it. For people like Ling Yunzi, although their strength is high, they’re all very shrewd. They’re good at compromising, so it won’t be easy to generate aggro.” The System said.

“Hehe, there are tons of those kinds of people walking the path of godhood…” Fang Ning casually said, and froze.

“What crooked idea did you think of this time?” The System said doubtfully.

“Oh, a light just flashed in my head, but I didn’t manage to catch it. Forget it, I’ll think of it tomorrow.” Fang Ning said indifferently.

“Eh, you’ll definitely forget tomorrow. Do you want me to inspect your thoughts instead? I’ll dig it out for you.” The System said generously.

“Get lost, can I have some privacy please?” Fang Ning refused strictly.

In order to prevent the System from acting on its own initiative, Fang Ning quickly hurried off to business.

He said to Yun Ze, “You don’t have to worry about Aachman. I have countless elite troops in my hands and innumerable excellent generals as well. I’m not lacking for a stubborn person like him. As for you, you should be sincere and reflect upon yourself. You need to understand that only love and justice can save this world. A person will only be successful if he has love in his heart and walks the righteous path.”

Hearing this, Yun Ze did not immediately speak. Instead, he stared intently at Fang Ning for a while.

His eyes completely revealed the meaning of ‘is this person a retard’…

“What’s with that look? Do you think I’ve said something wrong?” Fang Ning said in an inspiring tone.

“Haha, you’re not wrong at all. Brilliant, truly brilliant. The Upper Realm people who walk the path of godhood really should learn a few things from you. Your methods really are a million miles more advanced than theirs.” Yun Ze suddenly sneered.

“Hm, this kid, is he mocking me now?” Fang Ning telepathically asked the System in astonishment.

“No, he’s being sincere. I can sense the waves of his soul. He wasn’t lying. I can’t guarantee it outside, but here in the System Space, I can be absolutely sure.” When it came down to proper business, the System naturally did not mess around.

“I see. I found the thought that flashed by earlier. It seems that the Upper Realm people who descended can roughly be separated into two groups…” Fang Ning nodded.

Without waiting for the System to ask, he said towards Yun Ze, “Hmph, don’t measure the stature of great men by your own yardstick. I do what I say, not like some gods who only fools their believers and then plunder their blood, sweat, and tears.”

“Haha, is that so?” Yun Ze said lightly, “Forget it, stop beating around the bush. Since I can’t leave, I just want to purify myself while passing my days. Just say what you want. I can’t be bothered to speak any more nonsense.”

“You’re quite straight-forward. In that case, I’ll ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, I’ll let you purify yourself.”

“Ask away.”

“Why did you kill people in their dreams and slaughter innocents?”

“Trash doesn’t deserve to consume an iota of Vitality.”

“Why did you concoct the five hundred year life span trap instead of acting directly?”

“Haha, I still have to give those morons some semblance of voluntary action. If I acted directly, wouldn’t that be the behavior of the path of devils?”

“Are there many people like you in the Upper Realm?”

“Anyone who cultivates and has to compete with others for resources will have this thought. However, they do not have the means.”

“Even practitioners of the path of godhood will do the same?”

“Haha, they’re slightly different, but there is no fundamental difference between us. They like fools, but detest smart people like themselves…”

“Why don’t you hate smart people? Wouldn’t smart people be better at snatching resources?”

“Smart people can be negotiated with.”

“Very well, I’ll let you purify yourself.” Fang Ning already came to a realization. He gave Anderson a few orders and left the Draconic Penitentiary.

After the two people left, in the quiet Cell 986, Yun Ze’s eyes flashed.

Love and justice? How ridiculous. Before Nirvana, those were all meaningless.
