Chapter 673: Soul Imprint

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Morality City.

An area in the city was currently the picture of busyness. However, Fang Ning could care less about the cumbersome matters that came with managing a city, so he had handed everything to others to handle.

After all, real-life management could not be compared to simulation games, since there were too many troublesome things. In order to achieve something small, a lot of effort needed to be taken. This included, but was not limited to, arguing with people, coordinating different departments, and allocating resources...

With Fang Ning’s personality, how would it be possible for him to handle these things patiently?

These others were two people to be exact, Cang Gongzi and Dragon Carp.

The pair had always been in charge of urban construction and the operation of the city after its construction.

However, due to Cang Congzi being suppressed by his father, he became dispirited. Now, his body was taken over by Bai Ruocang. With the cooperation of Dragon Carp in addition to his foundation of being from a famous clan, managing a newly-birthed city was something that he managed to barely accomplish easily.

After all, the division of labor in the current society was a meticulous job. However, as long as one was willing to learn and knew how to delegate manpower, professional things would definitely be left for professionals to handle.

Be that as it may, Bai Ruocang was constantly distracted nowadays. One thought occupied his mind most of the time—how was he not able to successfully take over the Greater Rat Kingdom?

How was it possible for Bai Shixin to push him out through a few underhanded methods?

Otherwise, he would have sent hundreds of millions of Greater Rats to their death as revenge.

Although he was a weakling down to his bones, one should never look down on the ferocity of hatred.

Before going to battle, relying on hatred to boost morale had always proven to be useful, since it made soldiers too impatient to even wait to kill the opposing parties. This method produced outcomes more violent than using reward systems.

On this day, the Venerable Dragon God had sent Thomson over to meet him.

“Xiao Cang, you and Dragon Carp have to cooperate with Tom the tiger’s work so that he’ll be able to open up a Yin Energy herb garden as soon as possible. The earlier the production, the faster the results appear. Everything related to this project is to be listed as the highest priority, understand?”

Bai Ruocang shivered once; he immediately understood that although nobody else would be able to tell that he and Cang Gongzi were sharing a body; even the most minute of differences would still be noticed by the Venerable One.

It was obvious enough from the way the Venerable One had addressed him; the other party had called by his actual name, and not “Cang Gongzi”.

Dragon Carp had also noticed this particular thing, though it was not only because of the fact that the pair worked together every day, but also because Bai Ruocang came from a clan. Dragon Carp had realized this through observation of Bai Ruocang’s speech and behavior, and not through some mysterious skill.

However, the Venerable One had seen through him because his gaze saw all.

He immediately nodded his head and said, “But of course, Venerable One. I won’t forget it.”

“Very well,” said Vigilante A right before he was about to take his leave, when he suddenly continued, “You’ve been following me for close to two years, and you’ve always been diligent. Have you ever considered reincarnating your family?”

“Ah...” Bai Ruocang was stunned at these sudden words. He had of course considered this matter before.

He not only knew that the Venerable One possessed the miraculous ability of Resurrection, he also knew that Bodhisattva Spirit King had the ability to reincarnate the dead into Spiritual Insects.

However, he had never dared to hope for the Bai name to recover.

He had always thought that the souls of his family had already been destroyed completely by the Greater Rats.

Since that were the case, it did not matter if it were the Venerable One or Bodhisattva Spirit King, what could any of them do?

Besides that, he was a weakling down to his bones, so he had never been willing to beg others for help. He preferred working hard in the background while hoping for a miracle to happen one day.

“Venerable One, is it possible for people with their souls completely destroyed to reincarnate?” With a small glimmer of hope in his eyes, he looked towards his master standing before him.

Vigilante A did not answer immediately.

“I say, Mr. Rich Boss, what nonsense are you spewing this time? Resurrection isn’t that powerful. They must have died recently and their body must still exist,” huffed the System.

Fang Ning deadpanned, “Why’re you always so heartless? Haven’t you realized that the green dot representing Bia Ruocang is showing signs of turning black?”

“Uh, I did, and so what? If he dares turn black, we’ll just farm him. He isn’t Cang Gongzi anyways, so he isn’t completely aligned righteously. I have plenty of allies, he isn’t all that special,” said the System self-assuredly.

“You really are ruthless and cold-hearted. It’s no wonder I was the one that triggered all those Heroic Achievements...” Although Fang Ning had long known about the System’s true personality, he was still dumbfounded. With deep hatred and resentment, Fang Ning continued, “It’s still good to give people hope, you know. In this difficult world, hope is the only thing that will keep people positive instead of falling away into despair.”

“Oh, to put it bluntly, you’re still fooling people. If his hope does turn into disappointment, then the speed of his fall would be even faster,” retorted the System.

“Why would I be as shameless as you? I’ll have you know that I’m in harmony with the Divine and Earthly Monuments, so I understand well how the Heavenly Axiom operates. Their entire family died after the birth of the Heavenly Axiom, so their soul imprints are definitely recorded within the Heavenly Axiom... The Divine Monument keeps records of all clans and races, the Earthly Monument protects us all, and the Mortal Monument that hasn’t been born yet is a Heavenly Axiom treasure that records soul imprints! We’ll be able to reclaim these soul imprints through the Mortal Monument, then we’ll restore them...” argued Fang Ning.

“Hiss... I never expected you to have mastered means that even I didn’t know, this is quite a whale of a shocker!” The System was still a system that had gained enlightenment, so it understood the feasibility of the method Fang Ning had suggested, which was why it was so surprised.

“Hahahaha, did you really think I only played every day...” hooted Fang Ning proudly.

“No, haven’t I said this a few times before—not only do you play every day, you sleep too... You’re too lazy to even eat sometimes. Oh yeah, since you’ve finally come out, quickly clean up the Morality City for me. I’m running out of money to use since I’ve spent almost everything on this, so you better get it to earn money for me quick,” grumbled the System.

“Alright, alright. Let me finish this matter with Xiao Cang first,” placated Fang Ning.

Then, Bai Ruocang heard the song of a miracle.

“It would be impossible before. However, I believe that we’ll be able to find the soul imprints of the Bai clan in the future. You must remember to never give up hope, to never let hatred blind you, and to always walk the righteous path,” said Fang Ning sincerely and earnestly.

“Yes, you’re right, I will follow your teachings faithfully,” said Bai Ruocang with a bow, deeply moved.

“Hmm, that’s very good. As long as you keep love and justice in your heart, you’ll never stray from your path. Only then, will you be able to make decisions that are humane and moral.” Through the System Map, Fang Ning saw that the blackness from Bai Ruocang’s green dot was slowly disappearing, and immediately felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

“Yes, I’ll definitely keep your words in mind.”

“Good. Now, tell me about Morality City’s operation. The daily consumption of this place is huge, be it food, energy, or materials, everything has to be transported over a great distance from the outside world, which isn’t a simple feat. The earlier this place achieves economic independence, the better,” continued Fang Ning.”

“You’re right. We’re currently working towards that goal eagerly. The current situation is like this...” explained Bai Ruocang.

Although he was only a weakling, he was not only diligent enough. There were plenty of people that were willing to teach him as well. Besides, he was still a Cultivator, so he had a good memory, which meant that he could recite all information about Morality City off the top of his head.

As it turned out, a few of Morality City’s major districts—namely the Central District, the Commercial District, and the Residential District—had already been completely set up and were beginning regular operations.

The Agricultural District had already achieved a certain level of development and was in the process of gradual expansion. Grains and vegetables were already on the market and in the process of distribution to the residents of the city, which meant that their dependence on the outside world had greatly reduced.

The core output that the city could provide currently was the Scientific Academy for Vitality, which was responsible for producing intellectual achievements. Recently, a number of new achievements had been made, so they were currently in the process of applying for patents and promoting their achievements.

As of right now, the city could not provide any more features. It still could not become a complete industrial chain like the Truth Department’s Land of Heritage.

After all, it had only been built for slightly over a year. Completing the infrastructure of the city within the timeframe was no easy task either.

For example, the nuclear power plant that was being built had just started. Right now, the city was still depending on the temporary emergency diesel power stations for power, which was costly.

This was no game played by Fang Ning where construction could be sped up at the click of a mouse.

Fang Ning had previously not only thought about using vitality as a power source, but had succeeded as well. He only realized the value of vitality later; vitality was to be used to strengthen living beings, and should never be wasted on providing power.

In the Upper Realm’s extensive history of development that Anderson had records of, never once was vitality used to improve the livelihood of the people on a large scale.
