Chapter 1679: Savior, All Things Renewed (2/5, please subscribe)

"Is that a god?"

That thought rose unbidden in everyone's mind.

In this era, the political system had long since collapsed, and the world was controlled by a handful of mega-corporations.

They were the ones who destroyed the world, yet in the end, they were also the ones who profited from it.

Only the common folk at the bottom shouldered everything in the end.

Subsisting on nutritional supplements, living lives no better than beasts of burden.

Those who did not live in this era cannot imagine the misery of its people.

Fine food was a luxury, education was a luxury, freedom was a luxury…

Only entertainment after work could be considered the one bright spot of this era.

And that, too, was merely the anaesthetic the upper-tier mega-corporations had injected into the common folk.

Although the lower class no longer had the strength to resist the upper class, if all these people despaired and killed themselves, then who would the upper class go on enslaving?

"Five-four-zero"—that was a very practical question.

In a world like this, beyond the numbness of the common folk, who would not yearn for a saviour to descend?

Only, as time wore on, that wish had long been buried deep in their hearts.

Every adult knew that myths did not exist.

But now, a being just like a god had truly descended!

"Pay homage to the god!"

"Lord God!"

Some came to their senses and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Suzuki Satoru looked down below, his heart a tangle of feelings.

He was clearly only an avenger, yet now he had become a saviour.

"Still, it doesn't seem so bad, does it!"

Suzuki Satoru's thoughts turned quickly, "With the chat group, I can probably reshape this world into the form I want, right. Clear mountains and waters, all things reviving—that's the world I want."

Glancing once at the prostrating crowd, Suzuki Satoru made no further promises. He swept his divine sense across the ruins, drew the gold up, and sent it into a red packet.

After finishing this, he manipulated his true qi and flew off toward other places.

Although the whole world was ruined, the places where the upper class lived were not few.

One day's time.

The entire world had been swept clean, and all the gold had been gathered up—a full one hundred and fifty thousand tons.

Before this world was ruined, its industry was extremely advanced, and its mining technology was very sophisticated, so naturally there was far more gold than in ancient times, or even more than in Zhou Qing's era.

Most importantly, apart from the great powers, Zhou Qing had not gone to plunder those innocent small countries at all.

Although he was utterly unscrupulous, he still had his own bottom line.

Plundering the great powers counted as revenge; plundering innocent small countries would count as what?

If he did that, wouldn't he be no different from the great powers, becoming a bandit himself?

And on Suzuki Satoru's side, apart from the mega-corporations of the major nations and the beasts of burden under them, there had long been no people left anywhere else.

In a world like this, the technology of small countries could hardly let them survive.

In the world after its ruin, resources were limited. Only the corporations, and the beasts of burden under the corporations, had any value in surviving; the rest of humanity could only be left to perish.

Chat group.

Zhou Qing: "Bones, there's really a lot of gold on your side!"

Su Xiao: "Over a hundred thousand tons of gold in the whole world?"

Xiaomai: "Young Lady, you aren't tempted, are you? You're already a Da Luo, just finding a few things would be worth more than that little bit of points."

Su Xiao: "No, I'm regretting that I didn't know about it back when I was weak. Otherwise, I could have plundered a wave and made a fortune too. Now if you asked me to do it, of course I wouldn't."

Hu Yifei: "The nations should count themselves lucky, otherwise, he'd be another world-class bandit."

Suzuki Satoru: "My side used to be a great industrial era too, so of course there's a lot of gold. Add to that the small countries all dying off, the gold all became ownerless property, so I struck it rich."

Zhou Qing: "【Red Packet】 Split half and half, three hundred million points credited to your account."

Busujima Saeko: "I'm tempted, I even feel like plundering the whole world."

Yue Buqun: "These points really are tempting. If I hadn't already become an immortal, I wouldn't be able to hold back."

Suzuki Satoru: "By the way, Dao Lord, may I ask you to step in and save the world? The world on my side is too miserable, and I have no way to save it."

Suzuki Satoru's realm was still low, and he had not cultivated any divine abilities; he only had destructive power, and as for abilities of creation, he had none at all.

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course."

Suzuki Satoru: "【Red Packet】 One hundred million points, Dao Lord, is that enough?"

Su Xiao: "Giving a hundred million, Bones really has money!"

Zhang Taixuan: "No need for that much, a million will do. The welfare for group members still has to be provided; saving the world is very simple!"

Suzuki Satoru: "Then many thanks, Dao Lord 0..... "

Zhang Taixuan: "【Red Packet】 I'll give you a talisman; take it out and channel it into the Earth."

Suzuki Satoru: "Many thanks, Dao Lord!"

Ending the chat, Suzuki Satoru took out the red packet, and saw it was a talisman refined from jade, inscribed with two mysterious ancient characters.
