Seized by the System

"Alright, I'll go seek clarification." After a while, Fang Ning finally said.

A god was a god, capable of creating an all-purpose bacteria without needing the slightest effort. Clearly, the other party wanted to accomplish the whole task in one stroke, letting the bacteria have multiple functions, even evolving freely and adapting to change.

The God of Plagues was notorious in ancient mythology; shunned by humans, ostracized by the gods. After all, wherever it went, the yellow winds billowed, and the green gas overflowed; Definitely not a fellow one wanted to hang around with.

However, things were different in this world. Having absorbed modern sciences, the God of Plagues' powers had increased tremendously, far surpassing many of the gods of old. ——Well, from now on, Fang Ning made the decision to take these guys seriously, starting from the way he addressed them.

"Sir System, tell Anderson to get ready immediately, find me an expert in microbes, and get me the consultations." Fang Ning ordered.

Naturally, he did not possess the same god-like wisdom or bank of knowledge, but he had his ways and he could cheat…

"Understood, Anderson is on standby, and so are 20 other evil scientists, ready to deliver you the cheat sheets at any time," Sir responded speedily.

"Consultations, not cheat sheets, the way you said it, my badassery's already fell into the lava…" Fang Ning muttered, at a loss for words.

"I'm not sure I understand." Sir replied, somewhat confused.

"Lava, in some business simulation games, also refers to the lowest rank." Fang Ning explained.

"Oh, then that's not deep enough yet, your badassery index's already negative with me." Sir quipped.

"…" Fang Ning had nothing to say because that was indeed the case with him, in the past, he would always push himself for a period of time, and then habitually regress again.

This was perfectly in line with the behavioral pattern of a normal person. However, when compared with Sir, the distinction became plain obvious, the difference between a slacker and a grinder.

Sir System had never once slacked off; he could be an idiot sometimes, but never a lazy one.

Awkwardly, Fang Ning quickly tried to change the topic. "Enough nonsense, I'll go ask him now."

That said, Fang Ning remained still in his place, not moving a single step, instead sending his voice through to a black figure in a distant.

"God of Plagues, what is the purpose of the bacteria that you are developing?"

"The effects are many; when there is sunlight, it can be converted into chlorobacteria to produce organic matter; when there is no sunlight, it can decompose organic matter and separate it into inorganic salts and water. It can also fight against various harmful bacteria and can evolve rapidly, changing its character positioning depending on the needs of the environment, be reprogrammed and accept regulation." The black figure gushily explained.

As if the squabble between him and Fang Ning earlier had never happened.

Sure enough, this was the caliber of the gods.

"It's very powerful, yet in this world, everything has its strengths and weaknesses, it can never be perfect. What are the flaws then, of your all-purpose bacteria?" Fang Ning asked.

The black figure smiled coldly, "The creation of a god is naturally perfect, even if there should be a drawback, it would not be seen by mere mortals."

"How so?" Fang Ning asked.

"Hoho, I shall give you a lesson today. Do you know what is void lending?" The black figure said with a hint of pride in his tone.

Although the power of a vigilante's strength was higher, he still had a ways to go in terms of experience, regardless if he was a true dragon or a God, he had only trained for less than three years. Compared to a God with millions of years of experience, he was no different from a newborn baby.

It's just that, this baby was holding a laser gun in his hand, much like cheating.

"I would appreciate further details." Fang Ning replied humbly.

With the earlier words from Sir System, he had already understood the pros and cons of both sides, these gods were indeed superior and possessed their respective strengths, but they do not have a system.

"Void lending, that is to say, borrowing power from Heaven in advance, and return it after millions, or even hundreds of millions of years later. In this way, you need only enjoy the benefits of it within the time span, without needing to pay any price, which also means there are no drawbacks. This is one of the root cause of the impeccable perfection of the creation of Gods. Its drawbacks are not something that a mere mortal is worthy of seeing." The black figure said nonchalantly.

"So that's how it is." Fang Ning had understood, while the other party had made it sound like such a big deal, it was just in fact, the same thing after all.

Sir exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, that sounds good, we should do the same."

"What are you getting all excited about?" Fang Ning lashed out. "We did something similar in the past. Do you still remember when I said I wanted to build a Galaxy Skynet? At that time, Heaven and Earth paid 30,000 days of merit, with a limit of a thousand years, yet I haven't taken any actions since! Heaven and Earth were stingy and froze most of it, and we'll only be able to unfreeze it after we accomplish the missions. So that's why the other party's tactic may not work on Earth."

"Oh, is that so? Then why not ask him if it's possible or not?" Sir asked, still skeptical.

Helpless, Fang Ning asked again, "From what I know, the way of the world believes in the rule of give-and-take, of equivalent exchange as the so-called Law of Energy Conservation is, therefore, your talk of void lending, may not necessarily be as feasible as you mention?"

"Hoho, what you've said is in the past, the same may not continue in the future." The black figure pointed out.

Fang Ning's heart cooled, he quickly turned to Sir, "It seems that their interference towards the Heaven and Earth has entered a new phase, you should pay closer attention."

"How am I supposed to do that? Your Axiom Daddy never talks to me, he probably doesn't know I exist. Sigh, this is what mean when they say good warriors have no merits, because all their merits are stolen by the bootlickers." Sir System exclaimed in a depressed tone.

"Cut the crap, you keep an eye on the skills related to the Heavenly Merits Points, see if they can be used. I'll have the frog and parrot help you survey the evolution of Heaven. I don't think Axiom Daddy is as weak as he appears to be, he doesn't seem like someone who could be easily manipulated. Even though the history of humankind is short, Heaven and Earth being born only 3 years ago, at most 20 years, but its foundation is profound, with at least 4-5 billion years of evolution. With such a long history, far and few saints can ever reach the upper bounds, not even regular Gods can achieve this, those who are able to make it past a million years are already a rarity. Among the information provided by Anderson, many gods are only able to have a visibly recorded history after millions of years." Fang Ning analyzed.

Sir System was spurred on once he heard this, "That's true, your Heaven may be useless, but the Heavenly Axiom is still very powerful, it's amazing how despite running on his own for over billions of years, it's still safe and sound. If your Axiom Daddy could absorb this legacy, mastering the operations of the universe, he could be able to suppress the other gods and become a powerful ally to us."

"That is the case, and also the reason why I would compromise for the sake of it, if we're going to fight a prolonged battle, to delay as we wait for change, aside from humankind's own self-value, they're also one of the main foundations of Heaven and Earth. Although Heaven may not cease to exist by humankind's existence, the consciousness of the Heaven is that of the accumulation of human consciousness." Fang Ning spoke plausibly and volubly.

At this time, the black figure, after seeing Fang Ning going so long without a response, spoke up again, "I am quite occupied at the moment, you are free to yourself, do not bother me again."

Fang Nin was unbothered by the tone of the other; his problem had already been solved, the other party seemed to want to borrow the power of Heaven to create a perfect, all-purpose bacteria without any side-effects, and it seemed that that was not untrue.

If he dared to lie to him in his face, he should be very well aware of the consequences.

In this case, the Biosphere Plan Number 3 should be able to be completed smoothly.

Fang Ning remembered that one of the main causes which led to the failure of Biosphere Plan Number 2 was that the microbes consumed too much oxygen, with the number of plants being too little in proportion. They were unable to complete the circulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide, in addition to the interference of the construction materials, which lead to the ultimate failure of the cycle, and the extinction of the species.

With the help of the power of the gods, these problems should be solved within a matter of time.

Naturally, the mysterious side had its own pros. The advantage of science and technology was that everything was done in a logical manner, one step at a time, which was very conducive for learning. Theoretically speaking, anyone could become an expert of the entire scientific system, provided their time and energy allowed.

The mysterious side, on the other hand, was difficult to understand and to be generalized, yet it is this particular mysterious side that is able to generate miracles.
