Vigilante A returned from his exchange with the River God of the Sky River, who had generously taught him the method of converging paths.
For ordinary practitioners, they would have to pay a hefty price in order to even hear about this kind of technique, let alone obtain the technique itself.
The River God of the Sky River, as a god born from Heaven and Earth, was naturally proficient in how to integrate heaven and earth and control the rules.
Now, the River God was a tiger who went down to level land 1 , and had to strive to woo the local strong ones.
After Vigilante A separated from the River God, he went to the giant tree the Grand Wizard Abraham transformed into and started to meditate.
The tree’s branches moved slightly and then stopped, just like a soldier in full alert.
At the same time, in the System Space.
“Oh my, Mr. Rich Boss, I suddenly remembered that I should have taken the opportunity to beat my Daqing up yesterday. I wasted so many potential experience points.” The System was extremely regretful.
“Hey, you’re too heartless. Not only is Daqing an ally, but she’s also still a kid as well. Can you actually bear to beat her up?” Fang Ning was speechless.
“Well, I was just worried that I’ll beat her out of being an ally, so I didn’t make you turn her red… Now that I think of it, it’ll be fine if I just give her some food. Sigh, I really regret that I was too cautious.” Sir System lamented.
“Stop saying nonsense. Aren’t you unifying Heaven and Earth now? How do you have so much time to regret this and that?” Fang Ning scoffed.
“That’s your job, okay?” The System retorted, “Your intuition is quite sharp. You need to act personally in the end.”
“What?” Fang Ning was shocked and said in disbelief, “I just spoke out of my *ss, but I really need to do it myself?”
“That’s the truth.” The System said gleefully, “Don’t forget, you’re the only one who’s able to communicate with the Heavenly Axiom. It can’t see me, so that means there’s no way for our paths to converge.”
“Damn it. I, I haven’t prepared yet. Let me make some preparations…” Fang Ning was immediately flustered.
“How long do you need?” The System asked.
“Around half a year or so, maybe…” Fang Ning had a habit of dragging it on.
“Alright then, I’ll give you half a day to prepare.” Sir System said dogmatically.
“Damn it, I said half a year.” Fang Ning felt indignant.
“You heard me right. I’m giving you half a day.” The System said forcefully.
“I’ve never come across such a shameless System… Fine, hurry up and tell me what the River God taught me.”
An arm would not be able to win against a thigh, but the System was a golden thigh, so it was even more impossible to win against it.
That’s more like it. Half a year? A new Heavenly Axiom consciousness would’ve been born by then. How dare you try to drag it on…” The System said righteously.
Fang Ning was speechless. Then, he heard a ‘bang’, and a thick book fell on the table out of thin air.
‘Convergence of Paths Tutorial 101′.
“Can’t the title be a little more creative? Don’t think you can try fooling just because I’m the only one reading it.” Fang Ning grumbled and flipped over to the illustrated tutorials.
“You’re the one who’s doing the fooling.” The System said nonchalantly.
Fang Ning no longer had any intention to bicker with this retard. He was already deeply caught up in the complexity of the tutorial.
“The universe is a temporary inn for all living things.
“The heart of the individual knows no bounds, encompasses all, and remains tolerant. The converger of Heaven and Earth also converges Heaven’s will in the chamber of his heart; takes heed the workings of the Heavenly Axiom, and executes the will of Heaven…”
Just by reading the outline, Fang Ning threw himself at the bed and thoroughly gave up.
“I can’t learn this. It’s impossible. It’s too profound and mysterious, an there’re no operational details at all. How is this Convergence of Paths 101?” He said dejectedly.
“What are you talking about? It’s so obviously simple.” The System was bewildered, “Isn’t your brain very large? Aren’t you smarter than me? How can you not understand this?”
“How is this simple?” Fang Ning was immediately speechless, “Everything is written vaguely and mystically. I’m an engineering student. I’m not used to these kinds of illusory things.”
“I’m a System but I could understand that, so why can’t you? It’s obvious that you’re trying to slack off again.” The System did not believe him at all. After being fooled by Fang Ning one too many times, it had learned how to doubt the essence of everything.
“I’m not trying to slack off this time. Let me think. Right, you can understand it because you’re the embodiment of rules. According to what the yellow dog said, you’ve already attained the realm of enlightenment, and the strength of your soul condensed to form the rules! As for me, what realm am I in? I’m just a normal human soul.” Fang Ning said with conviction.
“You’re not a normal human. You’re a Pond-level soul… But you’ve just never risen to Lake-level.” The System suddenly realized.
“Yep, that’s the crux. I’m too far from the Heavenly Axiom’s realm, so I can’t touch it at all. That’s why I said I wasn’t trying to drag it on. I really do need the time.” Fang Ning said helplessly.
“Damn it, it’s because you always drag things on and slack off. Otherwise, you would have been promoted to Inland-sea Level long ago after so many years of work. Merging a small little arcane realm like this wouldn’t be a problem at all!” The System fumed, “In Morality City, we borrowed the artifacts and used them as a control hub, so you avoided the trouble of converging the paths. I’m so stupid. I should’ve made you study hard from that time on.”
“Uh…” Fang Ning really had nothing left to say. It was true that he had a great advantage, and it was difficult for his peers to compare to him.
Every pore, every strand of hair, and every vein had been flesh body had been trained by the System. There was none that were obstructed, and none that were not elite.
His qualifications had long surpassed the standard of the so-called SABCD vitality endowment level
In other words, from a Lake-level master onwards, it would no longer be accurate to summarize them using the humans’ Power Level standard. New quantitative methods would be needed to define it.
“What now? The River God has taught everything that has to be taught. Who can you blame if your cultivation is too low, or if you don’t understand or can’t learn it? Are you blaming me?” The System was very dissatisfied, and Fang Ning was immediately caught in a torrent of abuse.
“I, I’ll go cultivate now.” Fang Ning said weakly.
“Will you make it?” The System did not believe him.
“Probably. Wait, I’m about to break through. When I’m Lake-level, I should be able to sense heaven and earth. You can just give me some money and let me eat that Empyrean Pill. That should be enough.” Fang Ning gritted out.
“I’ll give you three days at most. Otherwise, just wait and see what I do to you!” The System said ruthlessly.
Fang Ning was unable to retort and had a guilty conscience, and no longer had his pretentiousness from before. After all, it was no one’s fault but his own.
The delicious fruit was right above their heads, but he did not prepare a ladder beforehand. By the time a ladder could be built, even temporarily, the fruit would have rotted.
“Three days? So be it!” Fang Ning gnashed his teeth.
He was very clear about himself. The truth was, all the concrete details were already sufficient, but he had never broken through to Lake-level because the process was not very comfortable…
The crucial point was that he had always been lazing in the System Space and did not have much driving force, so he kept dragging it on. Terminal procrastination syndrome was not just for laughs.
