Fang Ning could not be bothered about the Indians' internal conflict; he should not be interrupting in such affairs as an outsider.
Sometimes when one thought that he had done good deeds by stopping conflict and maintaining order, he might earn an ill reputation for eternity for it instead, so why bother?
Fang Ning had never thought that he was a saint, but he involuntarily became the imperfect "hero" because he was being seized by Sir System…
How could a sluggish person like him have thoughts to join in those complicated inner disputes?
If he had the time to, he would have spent reading novels or playing interesting single player games.
After he settled the issue with those Indians, he went back to the Draconic Arcane Realm to look for River God of the Sky River.
He had just witnessed River God's capability, where with the help of his information, he was able to force the mighty Trinity to give in by just a few words. This gave him a new idea.
When Sir System saw Fang Ning walking towards River God's villa, it suddenly said, "Why are you looking for that fellow again? You better not tell him about how we were able to get eighteen golden mountains because of his information…"
"What are you talking about, if I have to wait for you to remind me of these things, would I have this many treasuries?" Fang Ning said in disdain.
"Uh? Mr. Rich Boss, how many treasuries do you have now? Could it be that I'm still unaware of the exact amount?" Sir took the opportunity to ask.
"Hehe, I'm not telling you." Fang Ning turned a deaf ear to it.
As he strode into the villa where River God was staying at for the time being, he heard a familiar voice.
"Oh young man, do you want this golden technique, this silver technique, or this old technique?"
'Heh, I don't want any of them, I'm still halfway through learning the four supreme celestial arts given by Sir…'
Fang Ning secretly complained to himself. After he walked into the main hall, he saw River God leaning against the couch with a golden book in his left hand, a silver book in his right hand, and a paperback book floating in front of him. He was doing a livestream using his laptop on a coffee table.
A young man could be seen on his laptop's screen, he looked blank as if he had no idea of how to make his choice.
"Young man, unfortunately, you've wasted your precious opportunity. I have an important guest to meet now, I hope you'll have the same luck again and will be chosen again during my livestream." River God shook his head and snapped, causing the three books to disappear.
"What a fool, an idiot."
"It's such a fortunate thing to be picked by Sir River God! How could you hesitate, you're really retarded!"
The livestream was instantly filled with all sorts of mockery, gloating comments kept popping up on the screen.
"Alright, my viewers, see you next time. Please remember me, River God of the Sky River, your dearest friend, another word for honest, the only one between heaven and earth." River God elegantly said his final words before ending the livestream.
"Brother, how was it, was I right? The three Indian Gods are the three old monstrosities?" River God turned around and asked Fang Ning right away.
"Mmm, it's just like what you've said, River God. The three Indian Gods are the three old monstrosities." Fang Ning smiled and replied.
"As expected, it really is them, they have some strange religious practices since they were able to subdue all the believers quietly." River God sounded envious.
Fang Ning was moved. By the looks of it, the believers from the Upper Realm might not even be able to carry out worship of spiritual force… The exhaustion of vitality was probably not the only problem faced by the Upper Realm.
Nonetheless, he did not ask about that, he only nodded and said, "The Indian Trinity is very resourceful indeed, I wonder how I'll have to face them if they descend to this realm?"
"Hehe, don't be alarmed, brother, I haven't been idle these days. Among Indian myth, among the three mighty gods, 'Mahabrahma' initially had the most apprentices. Later on, those priests made up a number of rumors and spread them, so he was despised by the people hence resigned from his leading post, which was also when the God of Destruction took over his spot. It was said that those three aged and old monsters would certainly have internal conflicts and would not be a monolithic whole; there must be quarrels between them regarding their incense offerings, which will be useful in the future." River God was not at all worried about this.
Fang Ning nodded while he listened, he suddenly thought of something then flattered him, "River God, it sounds like your understanding towards the path of godhood has already reached the pinnacle, it's remarkable. I'm afraid nobody from the upper realm can surpass you."
"Hehe, it's nothing, practice makes perfect." River God laughed and said proudly.
"I have a friend who's cultivating the path of godhood too, I wonder if he can get some pointers from you." Fang Ning took the opportunity to mention his true intention.
His power was currently equivalent to Lake-level, hence he was afraid that the road would only get tougher from here.
Now that they had an increasing number of enemies, Fang Ning naturally wanted to think for his allies, wanting to expand his force.
"This can be done, since you recommended him, as long as he passes the River God's test, he can acknowledge me as his master." River God agreed at once.
"If that's the case, we might as well have it today, I'll call this friend of mine over now."
"That sounds good, I need to recruit a few apprentices in this realm too to establish a new pantheon." River God nodded.
Therefore, Fang Ning shut his eyes, a brief moment later he opened his eyes and said, "Senior, please wait for a while, my brother will be here soon."
Sure enough, a short moment after, an eagle cry could be heard from the Draconic Arcane Realm.
Upon hearing that, Fang Ning said, "Senior, my friend is here, I'll go get it."
"Oh, no worries, we can go together." River God smiled and stood up.
The two of them left the villa's main hall then saw a male eagle outside the courtyard.
This eagle was extremely dignified, it was about ten meters tall, and could almost reach the arcane realm's ceiling if it completely stood up straight with its head up.
Fang Ning knew that this was still the shrunken body of Sky Eagle, according to its Lake-level powers, it had a body of over a hundred meters. Since the Draconic Arcane Realm's ceiling was only thirty meters tall, it could not fit at all.
"This is your friend who's cultivating the path of godhood, am I right?" River God smiled and said.
"Greetings, mighty being of the upper realm." Sky Eagle bent forward and lowered its head as it greeted him with an unusually gentle tone.
Fang Ning was surprised. Sky Eagle always had an arrogant air about him and it liked flying around freely. Even if Vigilante A's grace for it was as high as a mountain, the System Map only showed it as an ally.
He did not think that it would actually be so respectful towards River God.
Fang Ning said out of curiosity, "Brother Eagle, didn't you come from the Land of Heritage? Have you actually met Senior River God before this?"
"I never did. I can tell that he had a strong aura of the path of godhood and has entered a sacred realm. Although his powers have weakened, he has entered a realm so high that those in pursuit of the path of godhood can only look up to him. He is more than deserving of my respect." Sky Eagle said admirably.
All of a sudden, Fang Ning was very satisfied, he did not think that the haughty Sky Eagle needed to treat River God as such. On the contrary, it always acted as it wished towards him and treated him like a brother as well.
What did this mean?
"Of course this means that I've done a great job, you should reward me." Sir System popped out of nowhere again.
Fang Ning paid no attention, he did not bother about Sir peeping into his thoughts.
He just said to River God, "Senior River God, Brother Sky Eagle has remarkably high qualities and is an extraordinary being, having come from the Land of Heritage in this realm. It is also worshipped by many powerful souls in the Draconic Penitentiary, where its apprentices have extremely high qualities and profound potential, far beyond an ordinary person…"
River God nodded as he listened whereas Sky Eagle became abashed.
"Based on what you're saying, it is more than enough to be my apprentice. Let me ask you a question first, if you get it right, I'll take you in. If you answer it wrongly, I can only say that we're not fated." River God said with a smile.
Sky Eagle quickly replied, "Mighty god, please go ahead, I'll do my best to answer it."
At this moment, there was not even a hint of arrogance coming from this male eagle.
Fang Ning was just astonished as Sky Eagle who had always been egotistic was so eager when it was faced with its master, it was even willing to stoop to compromise.
As compared to the novels he read where masters would request to recruit apprentices, prestigious masters in the real world would never beg to take in apprentices.
The common situation would be apprentices usually had to pay a high price to learn from a reputable master. Much like a get-into-school card…
"Mmm, very well." River God's mouth curved up into a smile then said, "Oh young male eagle, do you want to be a golden divine eagle, a silver divine eagle, or a normal divine eagle?"
"Uh…" Sky Eagle used its wings to brush its head, it was instantly confused and in doubt, thus it subconsciously turned to look at Fang Ning.
Fang Ning was dumbfounded as well, how should this question be answered?
"Very simple, I know the answer." Sir System said happily.
"Tell me."
"Hmph, you'll have to tell me about your treasuries first." Sir System took the chance to demand for this.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Fang Ning could not be bothered about the Indians' internal conflict; he should not be interrupting in such affairs as an outsider.
