Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The three of them went on to the next place and followed the usual procedures.

In the System space.

“It’s such a pity. The young lady’s clever, but she left without any hesitation. Just like what she said, she was very adaptable to changing situations,” the System was chattering idly with Fang Ning while developing an inferior Space Ring.

“I agree. If it was someone stubborn, it could’ve caused us lots of trouble,” Fang Ning said.

“Come to think of it, I shouldn’t block all the passages yet. I should leave a gap for some monsters to pass through,” the System realized.

“You’re really quick-witted when it comes to advancing your power level,” Fang Ning complimented the System, “... And I almost forgot to remind you about that.”

“I guess I am...,” the System said proudly.

“However, I have a suggestion. Since the space passage is determined, it’s completely possible for you to build a checkpoint...,” an idea suddenly came across Fang Ning’s mind.

“I didn’t really understand. Can you further elaborate?” the System was puzzled.

“Ish... You really are ignorant. I’m guessing you’ve heard of customs. How about tariffs? Do you even know what those?” Fang Ning said in a condescending tone.

“Such a knowledgeable millionaire. My admiration for you is like the surging waters and the overflowing Yellow River; it can never be stopped,” the System was behaving unusually and flattering Fang Ning.

“Haha, your wits are incomparable to my big wisdom, that’s the apparent difference between us,” Fang Ning took the opportunity to boast about himself to the System.

“Yes, I agree and I have no doubts about that. You are endowed by the nature with extraordinary intellect, no wonder I can only be in aid of you...,” the System said with admiration.

“Well, it’s good that you know where you stand now. You shouldn’t disregard me and make your own decisions in the future,” Fang Ning demanded.

“Yes, yes, I get it. A millionaire like you should call the shots and be in control of the whole situation. An idea of yours can easily cost more than a billion dollars, but sadly you lack the initiative in taking actions,” the System felt pity for Fang Ning.

“That’s the whole point of your existence...,” Fang Ning mumbled, “... A month went by without any disruptions, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Elder Ancestor Bai has already blocked the last main Space Passage that was controlled by him.”

“Wait a minute. Although the divine being from the Upper Realm had ulterior motives, what she said was not entirely unreasonable. We have to build a blockage, but we can’t close it completely. Just like an opened window, it allows insects to get in, but it also allows ventilation of fresh air. Therefore we should add a window screen, instead of building a wall to block out everything,” Vigilante A said calmly.

“Erm...,” Elder Ancestor Bai was confused because he did not get what Vigilante A was saying.

A few seconds later, he finally understood. He nodded, ” Oh, I see. I’ll leave some gaps so that any powerhouse from the Upper Realm that has a power level below Inland-Sea level can pass through.”

“That sounds great. That’s exactly what I meant. Bodhisattva, what’s your opinion on this?” Vigilante A turned around and asked.

“Seeing that you took everything into consideration, I have no objections. However, I am afraid that the ones who have yet to descend from the Upper Realm will take extra precautions or even plot against us. It might be extremely dangerous later on. I hope you will be on your guard at all times,” Bodhisattva Spirit King advised.

Bodhisattva Spirit King said so out of good intentions, and also because he was aware that the misfortune of someone as important as Vigilante A would not be advantageous to all of the powerhouses on earth.

If there was a powerhouse on earth as strong as Vigilante A, it would have been the reign of terror. Freedom and prosperity would not have existed.

The vitality era was initially closely linked to the apocalypse, but because of Vigilante A, the world line had been shifting.

A mighty being like Bodhisattva Spirit King had already mastered the art of divination, so he naturally understood the importance of Vigilante A in this situation.

Of course, there were plenty of beings who were stronger than Vigilante A, but only a few had the strong willpower and motivation to take actions like him.

Most of the powerful beings had powers that exceeded Vigilante A’s, and had the heart to do good deeds. However, it was only for a short while, their actions lacked persistence.

There were some noble souls as well, who insisted on doing good in every single lifetime. However, they did not have Vigilante A’s strong willpower to face evil.

His cultivation values in this lifetime were closely related to Vigilante A, it was said to be a symbiotic relationship.

He had extremely virtuous plans, he wanted to help good people to prolong their lives and to reincarnate. Even the Spiritual Insects Clan was inseparable from the current stable situation.

Vigilante A nodded his head and expressed his gratitude, “Thanks for your reminder, Bodhisattva Spirit King. However, I won’t be afraid of these insignificant creatures. As the saying goes, ‘when a friend arrives, you prepare good wine; when the jackal comes, you prepare a shotgun.”

‘I guess the latter is what you’re really expecting...,’ Elder Ancestor Bai thought while choosing five space rings out of the nine that were laid out in front of him, and began blasting them.

The destruction of Space Passages was relatively easy compared to its construction. Opening up just a single Space Passage required humongous efforts from the beings in the Upper Realm, but now most of them were abolished due to the betrayal of Elder Ancestor Bai.

Thus it was apparent that a mole could be destructive. No wonder everyone said that it’s important to eliminate the mole before killing your enemies.

Elder Ancestor Bai wiped off his own sweat and said flatly, “Now that I’ve settled what I was supposed to, can you remove my golden fillet?”

“No, not yet. I just promised that I’ll grant you freedom for the time being after you’re done with this. In order for me to remove your golden fillet, you ought to be a better version of yourself and understand the true meaning of love and justice. On top of that, you need to have some compassion and stop turning a blind eye to human lives...,” Vigilante A said in a righteous way.

Elder Ancestor Bai was not surprised by Vigilante A’s words, but his veins were still popping out of anger.

He finally understood Hou Dabai’s state of mind, about how hard it was to be imprisoned and to lose one’s freedom without having the ability to fight back.

“Well, then, can I at least leave now?” Elder Ancestor Bai was annoyed.

“You can do as you please, but let me remind you to behave. If you relapsed to your evil means, you will suffer from the consequences,” Vigilante A said.

“That’s very kind of you...,” Elder Ancestor Bai said sarcastically and disappeared right after he waved his sleeves.

“It seems like he’s still resentful, he might cause us trouble in the future,” Bodhisattva Spirit King reminded Vigilante A.

“Now that he’s gone, I have to inconvenience you to reexamine for the possible hidden threats that he might’ve left behind,” asked Vigilante A.

“You have a point. Although he was following the rules all along, an old demon like him wouldn’t be so obedient. It’s highly possible that he planted some secret traps here,” Bodhisattva Spirit King agreed.

This was the reason why Vigilante A asked to form an alliance with Bodhisattva Spirit King.

This was a matter worth spending his time on. He did not want anyone from the Upper Realm to wreak havoc until the foundations were laid. His beliefs and values were in conflict with many of the other beings in the Upper Realm.

The doctrine of doing good and being virtuous was not welcomed in the Upper Realm. After all, most of the cultivators were willing to seek personal ends at the expense of others.
