In the southern mountains of Qi City, there was a hill that was covered in greenery and surrounded by clouds and mist. A giant dragon could be vaguely seen sitting on top of it, breathing clouds and spitting out mist. It was like a picture scroll from the ancient mythological era.
That was right, this dragon was Sir System …
It no longer lived in the farm villa as there was no one to serve it anyway.
A group of hired Greater Rats had just opened up a wide and deep cave on this hill. The cave was winding and long, and was at least a dozen kilometers deep. It was completely big enough to accommodate a gigantic dragon. Moreover, it was warm in winter and cool in summer, so it was very comfortable to live in.
Fang Ning looked at this scene through the System View and could not help but complain, "Rice Bucket, are you going to become a dragon completely and not be a human anymore?"
"What do you know? The Dragonization Ability has already entered the Mythical Level. I want to experience the mysteries of the dragon body at all times in preparation for upgrading to the Ancient Level. The upgrading of abilities is different from upgrading treasures. The higher the proficiency, the more experience points are consumed. If you cultivate diligently and for a long time, you can still upgrade even without experience points. "Sir System said in disdain.
"Oh, I don't know. As long as you do. Speaking of treasures, when will my dear Soaring Dragon be able to tour the universe and find suitable empty planets so that it won't be tied down? "Fang Ning asked.
"Oh, didn't I say that you need to accumulate the magical energy of a Death bubble to be able to teleport a hundred light years? Have you accumulated it?" Sir System said in disdain.
"I should be asking you that. Don't you have all the money?" Fang Ning said gloomily.
"Magical energy can't be bought with money now. I just asked Robert and the Whitestone Clan Leader. They said that they received a notice from the Human Community Executive Committee that all magical energy deposits must be used as strategic reserves. Large amounts of loans and withdrawals are prohibited." Sir System said angrily.
"Uh, what should we do?" Fang Ning could not help but feel a headache coming on.
"Let's just do nothing. We can't be evil dragons and rob humans like the World of Spirits and Souls." Sir System sighed.
"Uh, of course not. Oh right, why didn't you help them seal the cauldron incident this time? There must be a lot of thank-you gifts." Fang Ning suddenly brought up this issue.
"Why didn't you go?" Sir System asked.
"I won't …" Fang Ning said confidently, "Those sealing techniques give me a headache."
"That's right, it's not as enjoyable as watching it, and I don't even need to use my brain," Sir System said condescendingly. "Didn't I say just now that I want to spend my time cultivating the Dragonization Ability? I can't afford to waste any time. Besides, that giant cauldron isn't a fatal threat, so I can't lose sight of the bigger picture because of a small gain. If there's a stronger opponent next time and I don't upgrade in time because of a waste of time, then we'll both be finished."
"You've spent one trillion to upgrade the Heavenly Sword, and you still have 5.3 trillion experience points. Isn't that enough to upgrade the Dragonization Ability?"
"It's not enough," Sir System said matter-of-factly. "Do you think it's so easy to upgrade this perfect-level Mythical-level ability? This is a core cultivation technique. If it is raised to the ancient level, it will undergo a qualitative change. "
"Oh, so that's how it is …" As a slacker, Fang Ning could only follow whatever the top student said. He did not understand anyway, and the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger. He had long given up on the idea of surpassing the System in terms of ability cultivation.
"That's more like it. Don't bother me if there's nothing important." Sir System shooed Fang Ning away like a fly.
"That's more like it. Don't bother me if there's nothing important." Sir System shooed Fang Ning away like a fly.
…
In the Land of Heritage, the Eastern Building World, next to the bronze cauldron.
A group of Lake-level cultivators surrounded the cauldron, working busily.
Other than them, there was no one else nearby.
According to the previous information, only cultivators above Lake-level could resist the cauldron's curse.
This scene once again stimulated many people and they decided to speed up their cultivation.
However, they did not know that this cultivation speed was already very fast. It was because of the Heavens and Earth's Favor during the pioneering period. The cultivation path was smooth and unaffected by the invasion of external demons.
According to the World of Spirits and Devils, Lake-level magical energy was equivalent to a thousand-year cultivation base. Sea-level was equivalent to a ten-thousand-year cultivation base.
The thousand-year and ten-thousand-year cultivation bases were the cultivation speed of the spirits and devils with top-notch qualifications.
Spirits and devils respected power, so they would never use low-level spirits and devils with trashy qualifications as a standard to measure magical energy.
Ren Ruofeng, Principal Xu, an old white man, a black sorcerer, and various cultivators were casting spells in an orderly manner according to the few sealing techniques.
Golden runes were imprinted on the cauldron like chains.
However, the cauldron did not budge. The dense Yin Energy did not weaken at all. It was as if nothing could move it.
Everyone's expression was calm as they worked step by step.
From time to time, a curse would appear between a cultivator's eyebrows. At this time, a backup would need to replace them. After the curse was removed, they would take turns again.
Some people who were watching from afar could not help but whisper.
From afar, the Lake-level cultivators looked like ants, while the bronze cauldron was like an elephant.
Their work was like ants tying a straw rope to an elephant …
"Will this kind of seal work?"
"Since it's from the two Venerable Ones, it shouldn't be a problem."
"There's no problem with the sealing technique, but there's a problem with the people who are sealing it. They've only cultivated for ten or twenty years, or even just a few years. With such a foundation, how can it compare to the World of Spirits and Souls that has existed for who knows how many years?" A middle-aged man with a face full of wrinkles shook his head and sighed.
"Sir, lower your voice. Be careful that the management chip doesn't judge you as a capitulator and re-educate you." Someone reminded him in a low voice.
"Sigh, what sir? I'm only 35 years old, alright?" The middle-aged man replied resentfully. "I'm neither a capitulator nor a warmonger. I'm a realist. That's the truth. Those powerhouses have profound cultivation bases and can resist the curse. Of course, they'll fight to the end. Us civilians won't be able to resist it. This is different from the previous war model. There's no such thing as a front line or a rear. It's a model where everyone is facing the enemy. It's easier said than done. If no one can produce in peace, how can we fight the enemy? "The middle-aged man hit the nail on the head.
The others fell silent. He was right. This was the horror of the Shenyuan Era.
Even the World War II, which was the largest in human history with the most casualties and affected the largest area, still had a rear. Most people were still able to produce weapons, train soldiers, and finally go to the battlefield in a safe place.
However, now that they had finally mobilized the entire population and retreated to the Land of Heritage, the enemy had directly cast the Curse Origin in the heart of the land. They could only defend passively. This kind of war situation was too passive.
It was so passive that many people were in despair. Perhaps they could win one day in the future, but many people had to endure every day in fear.
"Damn it. Is there really no safe place? Do we have to spend every day in fear? "Someone thought bitterly.
At this moment, an old man in a Taoist robe mysteriously appeared. He looked around and said to the crowd, "Do you want to be safe? As long as you go home and worship this wooden tablet, I guarantee that you won't be harassed by the spirits and devils again. "
As he spoke, he took out a stack of sandalwood tablets engraved with mystical patterns and began to distribute them to the crowd.
The crowd hesitated and did not dare to accept it rashly.
At this moment, an electronic voice suddenly sounded.
"Illegal personnel have been detected to bewitch the people. Executing arrest mode."
The old man in the Taoist robe who was distributing the wooden tablets dropped the tablets and was about to escape. However, a few red lights fell from the sky and firmly locked him in place.
"Sigh, another fool from the old era who can't tell the current situation. Wake up." Someone suddenly mocked him. "It's no longer the loose management of the past. Any signs of trouble will be dealt with immediately."
Not long after, a few tall robots appeared and took the bewitching old man away, including the wooden tablets that he had distributed.
"What did that old man give out?" Someone asked curiously.
"Why do you care about that? I guess it's another small fry from the Upper Realm who wants to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the invasion of the World of Spirits and Souls to get a share of the loot. "Someone said disdainfully.
"Looks like the current management model is still useful. Otherwise, it will only add to the chaos."
"It's a jungle society now. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimps …"
"So we're the shrimps that are being eaten? How pitiful. "
"You wish. We're just water plants. Anyone who comes will get a cut. "
