Chapter 1143: Retreat

Fang Ning of course simply chose to handle the external affairs because naturally, he could continue to be lazy. The interior works within the world would have made it harder for him to be lazy.

If there was an uprising of the people, he would still be able to sleep here right?

The exterior affairs were not that urgent. As in the void, there were only these two worlds and there was no sense of urgency.

“Alright, then it’s settled. The exterior affairs are yours, and the interior affairs are mine. Hmm, is this is the case, then the world’s share should be divided into two sides.” Sir System asserted.

“What divided share?” Fang Ning felt something was up.

“That is, the exterior’s assets are all yours and the interior assets are all mine. We’ll just divide it this way, we each get half. I’ve always been a fair System,” Sir System said in confidence.

Fang Ning looked at the Saint Cup that was outside, it was indeed an artifact. However, it was only one item, how would that compare with the other future half of the world?

“You’re just that good at stealing concepts.” Fang Ning refused immediately. “This is impossible, you actually think I’m as stupid as you are.”

“Sigh, too bad,” Sir System said gloomily, “You weren’t fooled.”

“If I were to be fooled then that’d be weird. The worlds are to be divided equally, the earnings would be shared and each person gets half.” Fang Ning scorned.

“Tsk, the real earnings are the spiritual powers. It’s useless to you anyway, might as well just let me keep them,” Sir System said, unwilling to give in.

“Eh, you’re right. Let’s make it this way, each time you provide me with an ability to read three days’ worth of novels in one go or play a month’s worth of game in one single breath, I’ll share a year’s supply of spiritual powers with you,” Fang Ning said as he clenched his teeth.

“...” Sir System was speechless from being overjoyed and it took it a while to reply. “Now I understand why I’m attached to you.”

“Didn’t you understand it long ago?” Fang Ning sneered.

“No, I now have a deeper understanding. We’ll never have a fundamental conflict of interest,” Sir System said in confidence, “You’re so easily contented, it makes me feel a bit guilty.”

“Since you’re feeling guilty, then why don’t you do the exterior works as well?” Fang Ning took the chance to add in.

“That will never happen.”

After discussing the distributions of earnings and distributions of work, Fang Ning finally gotten the enthusiasm and quickly tidied up the world. Then, he would be able to enjoy some spiritual food.

A magnificent God, making a living by counting on these mere things. If those created beings found out, would they not be dumbstruck?

He had not gone back to bed. Instead, he went and took a look at that Saint Cup. He took out the ‘Artifacts Instruction Manual’ and did more attentive research, and figured out the main control points.

When the Saint Cup was in use, it will need to infuse lots of vitality as well as a certain amount of spiritual powers. Only then it would evolve into a battlefield.

In the instruction manual, there was an annotation in the final note. This was a prop for the gods and deities’ amusement. Select a few of the strongest mortals and watch them battle it out, and the gods and deities were allowed to place bets on the ones they preferred.

“It’s as rotten as we’d expected. What a high-leveled plaything, no wonder it had to be overthrown.” Fang Ning sneered and fondled it admiringly. “Now that it’s in my hands, it’s finally on the correct path.”

“You’re more or less the same. Trifle with playthings and have no serious ambitions. It’s just that you’re more economical when you’re playing.” Sir System scorned.

“Shut it, go and handle your matter. Moreover, how long until the world’s formed?” Fang Ning started to get impatient.

“I said it once before, it’s still early. You should just go and cultivate, wait no, you should go and study.” Sir System immediately changed its words. This guy’s cultivating was equivalent to napping, it no longer could tell the difference.

Fang Ning was indeed bored, he then continued his read on that ‘True Dragon World Creation Tome’ book, which might come in handy soon.

Once he started his read, an uncertain amount of time had passed again.

This time, Sir System called up to him in panic.

“Not good, Mr. Rich Boss. Hurry and wake up.”

Fang Ning heard this and held up his head with much effort from the book he was laying on. He then wiped his slobber up, as he accidentally fell asleep.

“What’s wrong? You son of a b*tch, has the screen turned black again?” Fang Ning asked as he looked through the System View.

As soon as he saw it, there was no need for another word from Sir System. He immediately knew what was happening!

There were five lumps of clouds hovering beside the near-death ancient bronze-colored giant’s body. Among them, there was a lump of cloud that was close to Fang Ning’s data world.

“F*ck, as the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind 1 !” Fang Ning immediately became wide awake, “I can’t believe I’ve overlooked this. It’s like thriving in calamity and perishing in soft living!”

“Stop your lamenting, what’s going on? I still don’t quite understand.” Sir System was confused.

“Sigh, think about it, the four Ancient Dragons were resourceful enough to survive the chaos crisis in the past. Do you think that five saints there don’t have a strategy? Look at that five lumps of clouds, that’s their strategy taking place. They wait for a world to take form and re-enter the Primary World to reaffirm their position as saints!” Fang Ning said in a complex frame of mind.

He should have guessed the probability of this occurring. After all, the mess from the previous world was not properly cleaned up. He then rushed out along with Sir System to create a new world.

This was the counterattack of the old forces. Furthermore, the other party had the patience to wait for the world to almost take form before they showed up.

If they came at a later stage, such as after the world was formed then they would have missed the chance. If they came earlier, the Creator Dragon would regard them as enemies.

“That’s not right, the True Dragons looked shrewd. Could it be that we’d just be giving away the fruit of victory to them?” Sir System doubted.

“This, I can’t figure out just yet. Perhaps they’ve done some sort of PY trade 1?” Fang Ning speculated.

“F*ck, if they wanted to conquer the Old World I wouldn’t have minded. Now they’re even after our data world, they need to just f*ck off!” Sir System was furious.

“That’s just the way it is, isn’t it? They’re trying to do one thing and gain another from doing nothing.” Fang Ning frowned.

“Fine, I’ll just recall the data world back. For now, it no could no longer continue to absorb Chaotic Energy. Next time it’ll just need to consume a lot of Spiritual Power to make up for the loss.” Sir System felt that it was such a pity.

“Can’t you defeat them?” Fang Ning suddenly asked.

“Can you?” Sir System retorted.

“Hiss, doesn’t your job include going on battles?” Fang Ning was speechless.

“I can’t right now, I’m afraid of dying.” Sir System was dispirited. “You may go ahead, I won’t stop you.”

“Eh son of a b*tch, you can’t do this. You’re quickly becoming a Creator, yet you’re still not invincible. What a piece of garbage.” Fang Ning scorned.

“As you said, I’ve only cultivated for two hundred years. Those saints are probably billions of years old. How’d I compete?” Sir System felt wronged.

“Sigh, you’re right. Let’s just retreat for now and find a void to farm. We’ll come back and settle these guys,” Fang Ning said seriously.

“That’s good.” Sir System immediately agreed, as long as it was not the one putting in the extra effort.
