No one knew what happened. Several powerhouses started talking in shock and awe.
"This… what just happened? Was this comprehension of heaven and earth?"
"It seems like that happened after that little insect exited the Divine Gate."
"In other words, climbing the Stairway can awaken people?"
"Eh, you're right. No wonder those humans would be willing to bash their heads in just to get a spot in the Stairway. Apparently, as long as they manage to climb one step, they'll get great benefits!"
All the gossip reminded Fang Ning that although they did not know that the current great green insect only became this way after eating the pill Sir System made, its ability to digest questions was indeed produced while it was on the Stairway!
Fang Ning did not believe that it had nothing to do with climbing the Stairway.
Although Daqing was a glutton with an astonishing appetite, it was still incomparable to the System's. However, the System was not a glutton. It only ate large volumes in order to stockpile energy.
Thus, he said to the System, "Do you feel like you awakened any new abilities? The great green insect only climbed two steps, but it already awakened the ability to digest questions. Since you climbed all the steps, you should have awakened some abilities as well, right?"
"Awakened what? I didn't awaken anything," Sir System refuted immediately and said, "You should be the one awakening instead. You were the one recognized by the Heavenly Axiom to be the actual climber. I was only seizing your body."
"Huh, uh, is that so? I just remembered I've got some stuff to deal with. Talk to you later." Fang Ning hurriedly ran away.
Earlier, when Sir System had been climbing the Stairway, he had been playing the bystander the entire time. He did not even think to comprehend anything, much less awaken something.
"Were you slacking off again while I was climbing the Stairway?" The System did not let him off easily.
Fang Ning turned a deaf ear to the words. Since the System seemed adamant, he quickly changed the topic. "Look, the great green insect is reacting."
At this moment, high above the skies outside the Divine Gate, the winds suddenly subsided, as if they did not dare to disturb the enlightenment of a powerhouse.
The great green insect's eyes suddenly snapped open.
"I'm enlightened."
It slowly uttered those two words, each word weighing as much as Mount Tai. Even the air seemed to tremble with every word spoken.
Everyone was completely shocked. They did not know which terrifying realm that Insect God had got itself into, but it was the image of the universe!
That was also the difference between this world and the Upper Realm!
No boundaries, no beginnings or ends, no past, no direction to go!
The Bodhisattva Spirit King was pleasantly surprised at the sight. The great green insect was the head of the spiritual insects. If it had successfully enlightened, that would be tantamount to it bring its own path to the next level.
Although he was the Bodhisattva and reached the phaseless realm, it was not surprising for his heart to rise and ebb at this point in time. In his position, all he sought for was a right path. As long as that path advanced an inch, it was enough for him to rejoice.
In his opinion, those Bodhisattva buddhas who had neither happiness nor sorrow actually verged into the wrong path.
If the goal of cultivation was to become a rock, then what was the point in cultivating the body?
He said gently, "Daqing, what did you comprehend?"
"One mustn't eat too much. One must always moderate one's appetite." the great green insect said with a serious face.
"That's… a good comprehension." the Bodhisattva hesitated for half a day before finally choking out four words.
Vigilante A lightly said, "Were you able to digest the 'hemispherical dome' current events essay?"
"Of course I completely digested it. I don't have to worry about getting stomach aches anymore." the great green insect immediately held its head high. "It's actually really simple. The sky is round, but the earth is square, and the sun, moon, and stars have to revolve around the Earth. Only in this way, we can live assured and not have to worry that Daddy Axiom will abandon us."
"Hehe, I see. Your comprehension isn't bad at all," nodded Vigilante A.
"Yeah, people of the same ilk share the same tastes. She's a curve wrecker just like you who don't even know what the law of universal gravitation is." Fang Ning was speechless.
"Your dragon ancestors don't know what the law of universal gravitation is as well, right?" The System said plausibly.
"Ay, you smart-ass. You cause me a headache every time." Fang Ning really did not know what else to say.
The Bodhisattva Spirit King said helplessly, "Alright, as long as you're fine."
He studied human sciences attentively and was deeply knowledgeable. In his view, this was indeed a way to recognize the true nature of the world.
However, due to the passage of time, situations would change, and human science would need to re-established a new system. Nevertheless, the scientific spirit itself was rare and did not need to be changed.
He also benefited a lot from it, so now that he heard such an anti-scientific theory from the great green insect, he really was helpless.
The great green insect was safe and sound, and what it comprehended caused others to be dumbstruck.
The numerous powerhouses retracted their spiritual gazes and shook their heads while sighing.
"What an ignoramus. A great chance to comprehend heaven and earth was wasted just like that."
"Yeah, that was a chance to explore the truth of the world. The universe undoubtedly exists, so it should be comprehended seriously. How could that it say that it was something like 'one must moderate one's appetite'? I think this insect's future is bleak," someone asserted.
"Yes, that insect that wasted an epiphany would definitely come to regret it in the future." Someone said disdainfully.
Fang Ning, who knew the truth, only chuckled at them. Perhaps the great green insect would be taken in by the heavens. From then on, it might go all the way to the peak of insect life, it would not have to worry about eating or drinking, be rewarded even after falling, and meet its grandfather while walking...
Thinking about this, Fang Ning suddenly asked the System, "Regarding the Boundless Ocean Stone that was given to you by the great green insect, according to it, the stone was given to it by a blue whale it met in the ocean, right?"
"Yes, why are you concerned about that? It's weird. My Luck is so high, but I haven't gotten good items for free yet…" the System was very envious.
"You've gotten quite a few," Fang Ning said placatingly, then added, "I think the great green insect might be treated like a protagonist in the future. You should watch it closely."
"Do you think I need you to tell me that? Didn't you see how I made it my follower just now?"
"Yes, yes, you don't need me to tell you anything. You chase after treasures when you see them and are always anxious to display your skill, so you've never fallen behind before, Sir."
"Thanks for the compliment, Billionaire Host. When do I get my reward?"
"Ah, we'll talk about that another time," Fang Ning quickly ran away at the words.
Since the great green insect was safe and sound, the Bodhisattva Spirit King was about to take it away when it ran towards the black dog. He shook his head.
'This is fine as well,' he secretly thought. He looked up at the Divine Gate and made a decision.
"Elder Da, bring some people here to continue the observation. Quite some time has passed, so I have to go back to the Infernal Realm to suppress it. The spiritual insects clan already progressed two steps. It's satisfactory, so there's no need to force anymore."
The Bodhisattva instructed Elder Gui Da and the others.
"Understood," Elder Gui Da and the others hurriedly pressed their palms together and agreed.
"Mm, I'm leaving now."
After speaking, the Bodhisattva Spirit King's body moved to leave.
"Please wait, Bodhisattva," Ren Ruofeng's voice suddenly sounded as he approached.
"Hehe, what can I do for you, Almsgiver Ren? Since this place is stable, and there are so many great powers here as well, my services should not be required anymore," the Bodhisattva pressed his palms together.
"I wouldn't dare trouble the Bodhisattva. Since you've helped so much, this is just a personal gift to you. I hope you'll accept it," Ren Ruofeng said while handing over a check.
"Very well, very well. Elder Da, please accept it on my behalf…" Saying this, the Bodhisattva suddenly felt a scorching line of sight on himself and hurriedly rectified. "Ah, there's no need for that trouble. Just pass it on directly to the Venerable One."
"Ah, understood, understood." Ren Ruofeng realized at a glance and handed the check over to Vigilante A's direction.
This year, even if one were a Bodhisattva, they would still have to owe the Venerable One...
The next moment, the check disappeared.
The Bodhisattva Spirit King smiled bitterly at the sight and left again, this time for good.
"Oh, Billionaire Host, you were right. That Bodhisattva Spirit King really is a kind person. He knows how to pay interest first."
In the System Space, a check billowed up and down in the air.
"Hehe, yep. Since he was stared at with that kind of gaze, how couldn't he be kind?" Fang Ning said while looking at the check.
Although it was a check, there was no amount written. It read 'the ticket can receive the following materials…'
"Sigh, as expected, the world is changing. If you ask me, I think food stamps and hostages will start coming up." Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.
"As long as it doesn't have any effect my items, I don't care what ticket or stamp it is." the System happily kept the check in the System Preservation Area...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
No one knew what happened. Several powerhouses started talking in shock and awe.
"This… what just happened? Was this comprehension of heaven and earth?"
"It seems like that happened after that little insect exited the Divine Gate."
"In other words, climbing the Stairway can awaken people?"
