How could Sir System reject the chance to get his hands on three pieces of interspatial equipment that might contain an even larger collection of treasures in them just by granting such a simple request?

As so, the green dragon pushed his claw and the large bubble started moving towards the man, before swallowing him inside and lifting him from the seabed…

The robed man slowly stood up inside the bubble and looked at the green dragon.

Fang Ning quickly looked out through the System View as the darkness that clouded the ocean bed was lifted off by the glaring light.

The man looked kind with a smile on his round face.

His cheek was slightly blushing and the look gave out a warm feeling towards the others.

Those clear eyes and nice eyebrows could relax anyone that looked at him in an instant.

Fang Ning thought of the famous smiley face emoji after looking at him… 

This guy would become famous on the internet with that face.

As soon as the guy finally straighten his body, he closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath and started to relax.

He smiled and said, "It feels so great to be able to breathe once again. Thank you all so much. Thank you, the daughter of the Celestial clan, and to you, Supreme True Dragon…"

"Ew, what did he just called us?" Fang Ning heard something different.

Sir System replied, "Can't you hear that he's calling me the Supreme True Dragon? That must be how they address the king of the true dragons. Do you think it's ok for us to ask for tributes from those lesser dragons like Long San? We don't need to ask for their treasures. Well, since the ambergris is one of their local products, they should send one batch to us per year."

"I think that's an acceptable request," Fang Ning replied in agreement since he was also eager to use the wishing lamp…

The two of them started planning on the fate of the True Dragon.

The great green insect had no idea what the green dragon was planning and asked, "Mr. River God since you've breathed so much, can you ask the fish to return me my items?"

"Immediately," the robed-man nodded and turned towards the angler fish. "Da Kang, return these jade bracelets to the daughter of the Celestial clan."

The anglerfish waved its filaments on its head and replied, "Kind River God, are you talking about this gold bracelet, this silver bracelet, or this bronze bracelet?"

"Err…" the River God of the Sky River was speechless. The dragon and the insect looked at him in confusion.

They were questioning his ability to command the fish…

The River God replied, "Three of them. Return all of them."

"No, no. You all can only have one," the angler fish was acting weird.

Looked like the River God fell victim to his own trick that he had set up…

Da Kang the anglerfish mentioned that it was taught by the River God to question the way it was, and in turn, it would gain some power. That fish had no sign of giving up on that…

Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.

The River God tried to comfort the fish. "Are you becoming greedy now, Da Kang? I told you to be an honest fish and you have always listened to my words. Hurry up and return those jade bracelets to the owner."

The anglerfish shook its filament and replied, "I am sorry, River God. I wanted to return these bracelets but a voice stopped me at the moment. If I am to return these three bracelets now, we will no longer achieve our goal…"

"Err…" The River God smiled awkwardly towards the great green insect and said, "Alright, I think I understand what is happening right now."

"What's wrong? By the way, you guys are communicating like a human cartoon that I watched before," the great green insect shook her head and asked.

"Hehe, we are…" The River God looked to the right and made a smiley face, like an emoji.

"Ah?" Fang Ning was confused. If this man was trapped at the base of the ocean trench, how was it possible for him to reach the outside world and learn such a thing?

He conveyed his concern to Sir System.

The green dragon said, "Mr. River God, please explain the situation."

"Fine, I was ready to tell the story even if you all didn't ask," the River God sat in midair inside the bubble and started his story.

"Seven years ago, the Sky River lost all its vitality. I found the portal to enter this world at a dried up spot inside the river. I entered the portal but had no idea that I would end up here. I lost the majority of my power. Luckily I was prepared. I created the protective barrier using my remaining power to hold back the water pressure. I knew I was not a natural inhabitant here and thus will have a problem entering the deep sea with my deteriorated power, as I am only a golden carp in the Upper Realm.

"Through the years I slowly recovered and I became friends with this anglerfish. I opened its intelligence and named it Da Kang while teaching him the Path of River God. Last year, an innate talent awakened inside it, allowing it to swim to the deepest part of the sea without affecting its sight.

"Next, I taught it some human knowledge. The Morse code that it showed using its angler, its actions, and my facial expression, all the product of our lessons from learning the human race. I also learned that in this world, one can obtain power by being famous."

Fang Ning felt suspicious as he continued to listen.

It felt like déjà vu.

He said to Sir System, "Don't you feel something familiar?"

"Yes, he looks terribly similar to an emoji…" Sir System answered.

"Your thought process is abnormal… I'm talking about what he said. Don't you feel that the story sounded similar to the three Indian Gods? Those Indian Gods were also imposing as the God of the Indians in order to gather power.

"Somehow he was also doing the same and obtaining power via the legends of the human race. I feel like something fishy is going on here," Fang Ning replied.

"Fishy? What's there to worry about. I think they're just too lazy to think of a new identity. Didn't the black dog and others use to tell us about it?" Sir System said in disdain.

Fang Ning was dazed. "Heh, it can make sense if there are only a few of them, but there's currently too many of them that use the same story. Something must have made them do so."

"This is easy. You can just ask daddy axiom by spending some merit points. It surely knows the reason behind it."

"Nah. Those merit points are hard to earn. I can see that we can't earn any merit points from this River God as well," Fang Ning refused.

"Why?" Sir System was confused. "Even though he is a nice person, Gu Buwei said before that the Heavenly Axiom doesn't differentiate between good and evil. So, we can still gain the merit points from good people like him…"

"Wow, I think you're going insane. You're willing to sacrifice a good person just for those merit points? As a hero, we must help the people instead of the principle of the Heavenly Axiom. If not, you will start to break your System Rules," Fang Ning replied.

Sir System was basically a one-year-old child, so he would not let go of the chance to teach him a lesson.

"Oh, I'm not planning to do so. You misunderstood me, Richman Host," Sir System tried to argue, "Since we don't plan to get to the bottom of the story, we shall focus on the main issue here, which is taking back the jade bracelets. All you have been doing up till now is wasting my time asking pointless questions."

"Whatever, let us follow the standard operating procedure."

"What standard operating procedure?" Sir System was baffled.

Fang Ning replied, "Watch and learn."

Fang Ning took control of the green dragon and spoke to the great green insect through his spiritual sense.

The great green insect nodded in return as a sign of understanding.

What came after that was all according to the operating procedure…

As Da Kang the anglerfish finished speaking, the great green insect replied, "I dropped the bronze jade bracelet."

Da Kang was delighted as it heard its reply, "Yes, you are an honest insect… I shall reward you this gold and silver bracelet as well."

"Thank you," the great green insect rushed towards the bracelet as the fish pushed them into the bubble.

As the three jade bracelets touched their owner, they shrank to a smaller size and easily fit onto the feet of the great green insect.

"Alright, honest insect. I am leaving now. Goodbye."

Da Kang swam away after he finished…

Fishes and prawn were worth more in its eyes compared to the three jade bracelets.

The River God felt awkward…

"I am so sorry. I think Da Kang has finally understood the Path of River God. It will only return us all the bracelets if we did that. Luckily, it was never a greedy fish and we were able to solve this easily. You are really a legendary character to be able to dissect the situation," he tried to cover up his awkwardness.

"That's it?" Sir System was in utter shock.

"How complicated did you imagine it to be? The River God that what they were imitating was a kind person," Fang Ning replied in confidence.

"No wonder you talked about what operating procedure. Why couldn't you say it earlier? You make it sound so troublesome."

"You never look at the big picture. For us, the truth behind the story is more important than the three treasures," Fang Ning said.

"You are fooling me again. The treasure is most important right now. We have no use of finding the truth. Ren Ruofeng and his group can handle that," Sir System replied.

Fang Ning ignored the idiot System and continued controlling the green dragon. He said, "Mr. River God, why do you keep addressing me as the Supreme True Dragon?"

"Haha, the leader of the True Dragon Clan, Long Wu, used to come fishing and shower at the river and always bluffed… I mean, mentioned about a Supreme True Dragon. I can sense the aura coming out from you, which felt different compared to the other true dragons. It is pure and concentrated. You must have an unlimited potential. Who else could you be other than the Supreme True Dragon that Long Wu talked about?" The River God said with confidence.

Fang Ning finally understood what was going on.

The River God from the Upper Realm was closed to the Dragon Clan.

Well, this River God was basically the manager of the natural bathhouse for the true dragons.

He should know everything about the true dragons since they were treating each other with honesty.

However, was the clan leader Long Wu bluffing about the presence of such a Supreme True Dragon or was he telling the truth?

Fang Ning realized that he could take the opportunity to make some noise in the world. A new Mythological Era was about to kick off.

Nonetheless, he chose not to say a word before he was certain on some of the details.

Since they had already taken what they were seeking, it was time to get back to their most important work at hand.

"Sir System, come and have a look at the surrounding space and try to understand the process of descending. After all, we have two descenders right here explaining it for us. It will help us and daddy axiom both in setting up his Skynet."

"Yes, you're right, Richman Host," Sir System would never refuse to work on the important task and got his hands dirty.

The long green dragon dragged the large bubble and started investigating the ocean trench with the help of his bright head.a famous emoji in the Chinese internet. https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BB%91%E7%A8%BD_(%E8%A1%A8%E6%83%85
