Vigilante A’s farm villa.
Ren Ruofeng visited this place once again to speak to the Venerable Dragon God.
They had already determined their emigration target, the only problem was how to get there; this was also why he decided to visit the Venerable Dragon God.

Venerable One, we called a meeting just now. In order for us to endure a long-time battle with the Gods and Buddhas of the Upper Realm, we need to lay out our plans beforehand. We plan on undergoing an exoteric emigration…
said Ren Ruofeng without beating about the bush.
Fang Ning nodded his head and said,
Hmm, if one has no long-term considerations, one would hardly be able to avoid troubles now and then. Your idea doesn’t seem bad, but I wonder what can I do to help you?




The initial planet that we planned to migrate to is about 600 light years away from us, and it also possesses a global environment similar to Earth. However, immigrating across such a long distance would be difficult to achieve with current technology.
Once Ren Ruofeng’s sentence fell, Fang Ning immediately understood the purpose of the other’s visit.
It seemed that Ren Ruofeng was hoping that he would aid them by letting them use the Land of Sanguinity to open a light gate that would allow them passage to the other planet, thus solving the distance problem.

Get me that planet’s cosmic position and I’ll find a way,
Fang Ning agreed.
Once he answered, the System suddenly said,
What are you worried about?


Uh, haven’t you heard? They’re planning an exoteric emigration; after all, a cunning hare has three burrows. Nobody is as stupid as we think, since they’re also coming up with a back-up plan. It seems that despite the fact that we cleanly dealt with a Sky Deity, not everyone is all that confident in us,
lamented Fang Ning.

You’re spouting nonsense. What I mean is that if you want to go with them, you’re going alone because I’m not going with you. Do you know how far away 600 light years is?
grumbled the System.

Ah, you’re really something. Look at my small arms, my thin calves, do you really expect me to run to such a far off place? You’re not worried that some cosmic storm will come along and kill me?
exclaimed Fang Ning in shock.

If you’re not going to do it, then who?
Totally unconcerned, the System continued,
You have the Earthly Monument as protection, so there’s no need for you to worry about some cosmic storm. Just bring some medicine with you and you’ll get along just fine as long as you take it… Besides, you’re a soul, so won’t be harmed by physical attacks. A cosmic storm won’t affect you at all.

Fang Ning immediately felt fear rise in him. The chances of the System’s words becoming a reality have been increasing lately, and he no longer felt like he was being fooled…

That’s impossible. I would never leave to such a far-off place in my life.
Fang Ning shook his head in denial.



Same goes for me. This is 600 light years we’re talking about; even if I could teleport, do you know how many medicinal pills I would have to eat to make up for the vital energy and magical energy I would’ve used? How much time I would have wasted?
asserted the System.

Oh, by the way. I just remembered that if we want to open a door in the Land of Sanguinity, there’s another way we can do it in addition to going there personally. All we need to know are the coordinates of the place we’re going to.
Fang Ning was suddenly hit with inspiration; in order to goof off, he had squeezed out his biggest potential.

Oh, who do you want to shift the blame onto this time?
The System had already seen through everything.
Fang Ning was rendered speechless instantly. There was no helping it, he only had a few tricks up his sleeve and the System was all too familiar with them already. It was time for him to come up with some new tricks.

I do have someone in mind. I know just who to find to get this done and I’m sure he would be more than happy to do it,
said Fang Ning in revelation.

Who?


I’m not telling you.


Heheh, even if you don’t tell me, do you think I won’t pick into your thoughts?
hummed the System,
Huh, you want to get River God of the Sky River to do it? Would he be willing to?


Dmn it, how could you?
Fang Ning was beyond angry. He finally managed to put on an act, yet the System cheated by peeking at his thoughts once again.

It’s none of your business. By the way, Ren Ruofeng is still waiting for us, I think there should be a time limit for Vigilante A to daze off, right?
reminded the System.


Fang Ning was alerted to the matter at hand and immediately told Ren Ruofeng,
That’s all there is to it. Once it’s done, I’ll contact Brother Ren.


I’m so grateful for your help. Once the matter is done, the Truth Department will definitely remember your kindness, Venerable One. You’re benefitting all of mankind after all. If we do develop a new habitable planet, not only would it provide us with a safe haven, it’ll also bring great wealth with it,
said Ren Ruofeng before breathing a sigh of relief.
The biggest problem in this entire emigration process was the distance.
The other survival problems had their solutions since the Truth Department had been developing black technology 1
 for a while now.
However, the scary distance of 600 light years was practically an uncrossable chasm.
Just then, a System Notification appeared. [The System has seized the Host’s body.]
Vigilante A’s immediately lit up as he spoke,
What’s the state of the planet? How much development value does it have?


Uh, the planet is twice as large as Earth and water covers part of the surface as well. Its temperature is around 21 degrees, and it is about 100 million kilometers away from the center of its universe, so it isn’t too far away or too near. The rest of the data isn’t complete yet so we’ll need to make field visits. If we do manage to develop it, the output won’t be inferior to Earth now,
replied Ren Ruofeng.
Vigilante A was silent.
Ren Ruofeng understood what the silence meant and immediately continued,
If this whole thing succeeds, we of course would not let you work for free.




That’s great. I just fought a Sky Deity from the Upper Realm not too long ago, so I’ve expended a lot of strength and am in desperate need for replenishment. Vitality materials are the most vital right now,
said Vigilante A without keeping anything a secret.

You must be exhausted. Once this planet has been successfully developed, we will definitely allot a part of its output to Venerable One.
Ren Ruofeng did not think anything of this; after all, there was no law stipulating that heroes needed to work for free.
Fang Ning was stunned speechless.

Sir System, you really are quite thick-skinned. This is an entire planet we’re talking about, yet you still dare to ask for dividends,
said Fang Ning in admiration.

I think it’s quite alright though? Didn’t you talk about colonial history or something before? You even accused me of being ignorant and incompetent before. However, I’ve done my reading and I know during the human colonization era, there was a company called the East India Company or something, and didn’t they also run their colonies like businesses? They’re planning to colonize a new planet and since they’re relying on us to pave the way, it would be natural to give me dividends,
responded the System confidently.

No wonder you suddenly seized control,
said Fang Ning, utterly convinced.
The System was a system of action. He had only mentioned it once, yet not only did it remember, it also acted on his lessons.
If it were him instead, he would have been too embarrassed to even ask about it.
Now that Ren Ruofeng had received a definite reply, he left the place in satisfaction.
As for the conditions he had promised, it was as it should be.


If it were some old fogeys instead, they definitely would have wondered why they were entrusting a single person with national affairs. They might even feel that the route to outer space should be in the hands of the organization instead.
However, Ren Ruofeng was not them. He had long predicted that strong and powerful individuals might be able to replace organizations during the Era of Vitality.
After all, these individuals would have long lives which would far exceed the life of an organization. A country might only be ruled for several hundreds of years but a truly powerful individual could easily live for more than thousands of years.
Strong individuals usually lived for thousands of years, and if one had not been alive for almost two thousand years, they would not even dare to leave the house to greet others…
Nowadays, most Lake-level powerhouses did not even count as true powerhouses. After all, their life expectancies were usually slightly higher than that of regular humans, and they only live for about 200 years.
Besides, these powerhouses attracted followers easily, which goes even further to show that relying on the strong to survive would become the trend in the future.
Although it was a difficult thing to admit, the world operated in such a reality now. Power was the ultimate determinant of all things now.
…
Right after Ren Ruofeng left, Vigilante A prepared to summon River God of the Sky River.
However, the System just could not feel relieved. Fang Ning still had not answered it question from just now.
It decided to repeat its question.
You still haven’t answered me. Why would River God of the Sky River be willing to help?


Nonsense. Didn’t you already peek into my thoughts? Why are you asking again?
grumbled Fang Ning.

Uh, I only peeked into your shallow thoughts, I couldn’t see the ones that were deeper in. After all, I’m an honest System, I would never invade someone’s privacy,
asserted the System.

Beat it, you,
Fang Ning was dumbfounded but continued,
It’s simple really, didn’t I mention it before? River God of the Sky River’s future lies in outer space. The Milky Way is a river after all…

Oh, I see. If that’s the case, he’ll definitely be more than happy to go develop a planet in outer space. Who knows, he might even become a saint in the process!
exclaimed the System.

Ugh, do you even know the conditions to become a saint? Why are you so shocked?
jeered Fang Ning.

At least I know more about it than you do,
retorted the System.
