Seized by the System

All of them nodded when they heard that. It was right indeed. Regardless if they wanted to admit it or not, the truth remained as the truth.

If there was no limitation imposed by the Heavenly Axiom, the existence of the earth would be in question.

At this moment, Xie Dong spoke again, "As everyone knows, the era has changed now. In contrast to the materialism present in the past, the Heavens have eyes now, and the Heavenly Axiom has clear consciousness, instead of mere objective existence. Here comes a serious problem, will the Heavenly Axiom still be fair and equal?"

The meeting attendees looked at each other. They seemed to vaguely understand the real intention of the Truth Department…

"Would the Heavenly Axiom still treat all creatures on the earth fairly?

"I think everyone knows deep in your heart that it's impossible. Last year, the incident of the Divine Gate and the Divine List has clearly informed us that, the Heavenly Axiom only favors those with potential and strength.

"Coming at it from another angle, why does the Heavenly Axiom favor the races with potential and strength?"

Followed by Xie Dong's list of questions, the truth slowly became clearer to the attendees. They already realized the plan of the Truth Department.

However, the realization did not change anything, as they would still have to follow the Truth Department's plan. This was real brilliance compared to the schemes hatched by most people. It would not work anymore if someone had seen it through.

Anyhow, not everybody shared the same thoughts.

At this moment, somebody said drily, "It seems like you're trying to tell us that if we serve the Heavenly Axiom, there's a possibility for us to become the Son of the Heavenly Axiom, right?"

"Are you asking us to imitate the Venerable Dragon God and walk through the Path of Heavenly Punishment?" the other person chimed in, "Unfortunately we can't do that, we're not equipped with the toughness of a dragon."

Xie Dong was not angry at all while listening to the aggressive voices.

The records of the two speakers earlier were stored long ago in the Truth Department. They were the same as Pan Liang, who colluded with the Descended Ones from the Upper Realm.

They had long prepared to lead the way…

This was exceedingly normal. In the past, the USA only needed green cards and some dollars, even just an empty promise, to exchange for anybody's leadership.

In this time, the opposite world was the mysterious Upper Realm, there were countless benefits like the vitality pills, talisman, works of abilities, longevity… It was not rare to have a few who were willing to lead the way.

It was not rare at all. Under these circumstances, those who can hold on firmly were really precious.

Deliberately for the sake of the interest of the whole, for not annoying the Upper Realm, for buying more time, the Truth Department could not execute these traitors, and even had to show unity…

Maybe they also knew these reasons behind the situation, therefore they dared to disagree with him in the meeting.

In any case, this obstacle was within their expectations.

Xie Dong said faintly, "An ability is either powerful or weak, but there are no classifications for attitude. All of us are born and raised here with a cultivation base. That's fine if we contributed nothing to the Heavenly Axiom, but if there's anyone who betrays us and brings harms to the earth, wouldn't it be angry? Wouldn't it send some lightning and thunder to strike these traitors?"

As soon as his words ended, the thunder sounded in the mountains outside the hall.

All of them witnessed that moment. Some of them were terrified, while some stayed calm and took it to be the tricks conjured by the Truth Department.

Fang Ning was calm too. He silently spoke to the System in his heart, "Sir, your tricks were stolen away. The Truth Department has learned to play the sound effect now. It won't be shocking the next time you use it…"

"No, they didn't steal it from me, it's real thunder outside…" the System reminded him.

"Err…" Fang Ning was scared. "The end of his speech was accompanied by thunder. It's definitely some omen from Heaven. Xie Dong's just at Lake-level at most, how could he do that? Sir, not even you can do that, right?"

"I could if you wanted to, but it'll be expensive." the System said easily.

"I believe that you've the strength of an Inland-sea-level, and are able to cast heavenly omens. But how about them?" Fang Ning was confused.

System Notification: [The System consumed 20 Morality Bars, 10 Aggro Bars, and activated the Legendary Esoteric Skill, Spirit Gaze.

The System consumed 1 million experience points and activated an additional skill, Penetrative Vision.

The System is looking at the mysterious unknown peak.

The System has uncovered the mystery of the lightning and thunder.]

Fang Ning quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"There're some outstanding people in the Truth Department. Do you know why they choose this place as the meeting venue?" the System threw a question before Fang Ning.

"I know, you think my brain is dead like yours? This is the Wolf Mountain, where the Han Dynasty's famous general Huo Qubing who defeated Xiongnu and worshipped the fields of heaven…. Hmm, could it be they used this classical allusion to provoke the omens of heaven?" Fang Ning was shocked.

"Hey Richie, your brain is still as sharp as always. You guessed it right…" The System sighed.

"Hahaha, afraid already? How can you simply say I guessed it? Explain to me the details…" Fan Ning curiously asked in return.

"Well, it's true that they carried out a sacrificial ritual on this mountain to the earth and heavens. Just now, I examined the peak and found a hidden altar. The smell of burning incense just dissipated. It seems that it was in cooperation with Xie Dong…" The system explained in detail.

"Ah, I see. Not bad. The Truth Department was able to carry out a sacrifice to the earth and heavens and converse with the daddy of the Heavenly Axiom. After all, a nation's strength should be extraordinary." Fan Ning was full of envy and jealousy.

This was the difference between an organization and an individual. It was easy for an individual to slack off, but as long as an organization had a perfect and flexible system, it couldgo on for many years with an increase in strength.

"What's so amazing about this? I just need to spend some gold. The Heavenly Axiom will grant me luck and I'll be more powerful than they are. Even if I don't spend any gold, as long as the two broken monuments cooperate with me they will still be no match to me." The System sounded dissatisfied.

"Right, right, my mighty Sir." Fang Ning was too lazy to argue with him.

Of course, regardless if it were an organization or individual, there was no way to compare with the System. The System would never be lazy.

That was why it found it hard to bear with that lazy person.

During this time, certain individuals have also discovered the truth.

The truth was not deliberately hidden, there were still some very high-ranking people present, such as the rarely seen Lake-level, Old Master Ma.

In fact, he was very supportive of the purpose of the meeting organized by the Truth Department. After all, he was a Demon Slayer who contributed to the Heaven and Earth, plus was aware of the power of the Heavenly Axiom.

Rely on the people up the food chain and you might obtain benefits. However, you may not be able to go far.

The truth was they were also bounded by the Heavenly Axiom, after all.

Unless they were able to…

Old Master Ma abruptly stopped that thought, and dared not think further about it.

If the thought went on, maybe the Heavens' Blessing would be gone.

After that when he looked at Xie Dongzhi again, his eyes gave off an extremely complicated gaze.

It was unknown if the other person had also thought of this matter. It was possible for him to have also thought of it. After all, the essence of the Truth Department was heavily concentrated in central China. People who were smarter than he were everywhere.

Even if they had thought of it, were they able to stop it?

Maybe this was the main purpose of this meeting…

The Heavenly Axiom is Earth's biggest protector for all creatures. That's right, on the flip side, isn't Earth's protector also the biggest protector of the Earth's Heavenly Axiom?

At this time, some familiar people were secretly asking Old Master Ma about the truth regarding lightning and thunder.

They naturally did not dare to ask Vigilante A.

Old Master Ma heard about the questions and faintly said, "The lightning and thunder are real, not magic tricks. This is a warning from heaven.

This news quickly and quietly spread among the people present at the venue.

All of a sudden, no one dared look down on the guy at the stage.

Just now two speakers who stared down all along now tried to hide themselves on their seats. Worried that the lightning and thunder would strike them next.

The people around tried to distance themselves from them, worried that they would also be struck.

Xie Dong nodded with satisfaction. The correct way is to show both kindness and power. If you only show kindness but not power, it is an act of the fool.
