Chapter 176: This world is suspected to be a bit too urbanized

"Indeed, how could something like Merit ever be enough?"

Gada looked at Su Nian with her emerald eyes and sighed softly, having just listened to Su Nian's introduction and the pursuit of Merit by those Gods and Buddhas.

She understood clearly that in Little Garden, Merit was the absolute hard currency.

Strengthening Spirit Status, enhancing Gifts, weaving Authorities... which one of these didn't require the consumption of Merit?

Even the reason for holding Gift Games was to expand influence in order to acquire sufficient Merit.

However, Gada was still very lucky, because the Three True Ancestors stood at the pinnacle of the world, having jointly ruled this world for thousands of years; they were almost a part of this History itself.

For the Three True Ancestors like Gada, at least for the time being, they would not lack Merit; the Merit accumulated over thousands of years was already enough for them to grow to the Four-digit level.

It was just that for Su Nian, the Merit from simply being the Fourth Progenitor, the strongest Vampire, and the Merit brought by observing the world, was a bit like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a single cup of water.

Even after establishing the Fourth Night Empire, the total Merit gained added together might not even be one percent of what he got from saving the world last time.

After all, the Apocalypse World strictly belonged to the future Human History and was also part of the Pan-Human History, not to mention that Su Nian had been judged at the time to have overcome a Humanity's Final Trial.

As for the Strike the Blood world, it was purely an alternate Human History; the scale of Merit harvested differed from the Pan-Human History, which served as the main trunk, by two orders of magnitude.

If the Three True Ancestors were True Ancestors who had dominated the world for thousands of years within the Pan-Human History and had almost become a part of History, then they should have been Two-digit after being observed by the Central Hub.

Instead of only reaching the Four-digit level.

It was just that the Merit of the Pan-Human History had long since been carved up clean; those who dared to reach out had long ago been beaten to death.

The current Su Nian did not have the ability to snatch food from the dining tables of the Gods and Buddhas.

"So, I intend to bring true peace to this world."

Su Nian yawned and said nonchalantly.

"This world is suspected to be a bit too urbanized."

"Hmm???"

Gada revealed a bewildered expression; what did it mean that this world was suspected to be a bit too urbanized?

Wasn't urbanization a good thing? Surely he didn't mean to return to the era of drinking blood and eating raw meat from thousands of years ago?

"Cough, cough, of course that's not what you think it means."

Su Nian waved his hand at Gada, speechless; he wasn't some extremist, so how could he really be thinking about destroying the world?

Truth be told, the technological level of this world was quite advanced; after experiencing the Great Saint Annihilation, it had re-developed for thousands of years to bring the technological level back to the level of the Heavenly Tribe back then.

Su Nian still understood the principle that science and technology were the primary productive forces; how could he possibly give up such a good rear-guard world like Strike the Blood?

"It's just, Gada, haven't you felt one thing, and that is that this world is a bit too chaotic?"

Chaotic? Not really, right? Whether compared to the ancient past, or even compared to the primordial era when the Heavenly Tribe was still around.

The present, after signing the Sanctuary Treaty, was peaceful to an unbelievable degree.

Gada looked at Su Nian, revealing a look of interest; she was curious if Su Nian had some new ideas again.

Su Nian continued.

"This world has too many small organizations behind the scenes, and there are also too many ambitious people."

Why call them small organizations behind the scenes? Probably because these organizations were truly too weak; clearly, none of them could beat a True Ancestor, yet one after another, they all thought about defeating the True Ancestors to rule the world.

And those ambitious people who had absolutely no self-awareness—even Su Nian didn't know where they got the guts to scheme against the True Ancestors.

It was only because the Three True Ancestors suppressed the world for an age, and whether in experience, influence, combat power, or technology, they could crush this world, and the Three True Ancestors were also quite united.

God knows how chaotic this world would be otherwise.

"Moreover, Gada, don't you think that more than two hundred countries are a bit too many?"

As a Celestial, Su Nian couldn't help but have the thought of completing the unification of the world; he was already the Fourth Progenitor, the Emperor, so why couldn't he be more thorough?

"Interesting, is this your idea?"

Gada clasped her hands behind her head and crossed her legs without the slightest concern.

"I reckon Joy would be very supportive of your idea."

As for her, she wasn't interested in these things; the Earth was filled with large and small forces and countries, and although they each had their own ambitions and often brought a little chaos.

But these bugs that occasionally popped out were a rare diversion for True Ancestors like them who had lived for a long time, and they were also topics of conversation when they met occasionally.

Of course, they could also unify the world; the reason they didn't was that the cost was truly too enormous, and the conflict between humans and demons was too difficult to reconcile.

Even if they could forcibly suppress it, it would only produce greater chaos.

Plus, they had lived too long and truly lacked this ambition and interest.

Power and desire—in their long lives, they had already enjoyed everything they should have.

Of course, Gada didn't ask if Su Nian needed help; that would be somewhat insulting to Su Nian.

The Three True Ancestors alone could completely pacify any superpower in the world with their own Familiars.

Let alone Su Nian, who was nearly a god.

And rather than asking that, it would be better to ask Su Nian if he needed the Three True Ancestors to come out and put on a show, to act as a stepping stone or something.

The First Progenitor, the Forgotten War King, and the Second Progenitor, the Extinction Eye, were very curious about Su Nian's true strength.

As for her? She wanted to go to Little Garden, digest her Merit, become a Four-digit, and then challenge Su Nian again.

——

Inside an ancient shrine in Kyoto, Island Country, two women were sitting cross-legged.

Both women looked young, and both were wearing kimonos; at this moment, they were closing their eyes, as if fallen into a deep sleep.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already conveyed the order; it is said that the order was issued personally by the Prime Minister. I think you should know by now, Xian Guyong!"

One of the two girls sitting opposite each other spoke; from her appearance, she looked young, like a cute loli.

But when she spoke, her manner of speaking was extremely inconsistent with her age, like an old person, carrying a rich, aged aura.

Kuraki Anai, one of the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization; of course, this was not her real name, but the inherited name of the Three Saints.

Possessing a dual personality with two consciousnesses, one was the consciousness of darkness passed down through generations, a clan that strengthened spiritual power and memory generation by generation through inheritance. The second was her own consciousness, which served as the vessel for the power of darkness.

"I have already received the order, Lady Kuraki Anai."

Xian Guyong said indifferently.

"It's just, what do you mean?"

Hadn't their Lion King Organization already decided which side to stand on long ago?

They had even already sent Ji Dong Xue Cai, the next of the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization and the one who had mastered the Divinity fluctuation expulsion technique, to Su Nian's side as a monitor.

Seeing that Kuraki Anai still remained motionless, Xian Guyong felt somewhat dejected and could not help but ask.

"Is there some problem with my arrangements?"

The white-haired loli spoke in that ancient tone.

"Your arrangements have a major problem, Xian Guyong."

"A mere Sword Shaman is not enough to demonstrate the sincerity of the Lion King Organization."

"Huh?"

Was the next candidate for the Three Saints, who had mastered the Divinity fluctuation expulsion technique, not enough?

The corner of Xian Guyong's mouth could not help but twitch; she now began to doubt in her heart whether the Lion King Organization was actually a marriage agency.

Hmm, there was no need to doubt it anymore; looking at both Kuraki Anai and the instructor Yuantang Yuan, their first thought when facing the Fourth Progenitor was to send women.

This was no longer a marriage agency; it was practically becoming a government-run brothel.

"Yes, and Xue Cai's progress is too slow. She has monitored that Emperor for a long time, but there has been absolutely no progress in terms of feelings."

A voice carrying a hint of a smile drifted in from outside the door, and following the voice, a fairy dressed in cool, green attire walked in.

Yuantang Yuan looked Xian Guyong up and down, then sat cross-legged beside Xian Guyong and Kuraki Anai.

She blinked her eyes and said with a playful laugh.

"Hidao, your foundation seems quite good as well; you would be very beautiful if you dressed up a little."

It hardened; her fists hardened.

Looking at the trashy fairy and trashy instructor in front of her, Xian Guyong only wanted to use her fists to kiss the other party's cheeks fiercely.

No, was this something to joke about? Letting her join in too?

"And Kuraki Anai as well, your appearance as a loli with a baby face and huge breasts is simply the favorite of many men; I estimate the Fourth Progenitor might like your state like this?"

"Plus the knowledge and experience brought by your dark personality, using a real loli's age to perform seductive acts that only a mature woman could do, it would surely be twice as effective with half the effort."

"You might even be able to contend with that Void Witch."

Kuraki Anai nearly spat out; she now had the same thought as Xian Guyong, wanting to beat up this trashy fairy who only thought about seduction.

She really didn't know who had coined the name "Lion King Marriage Agency"??

If it weren't for this old fairy aunt blindly suggesting all sorts of ideas, the Lion King Organization wouldn't have earned such a nickname.

"Yuantang Yuan, you don't seem to look too bad yourself, so why can't it be you who seduces that Fourth Progenitor?"

Kuraki Anai said angrily; she was not as repressed and gloomy as Xian Guyong, keeping every thought bottled up inside.

Her white personality was, after all, a righteous young girl in her prime; how could she possibly allow such a thing to happen to herself?

Yuantang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Now that you mention it, Kuraki Anai, I feel this method is also quite reliable."

"Eh, does this count as us acting together?"
