Tianjing Fawang frowned upon hearing Vigilante A’s arrangements and said, “The evil souls will be dealt with as what the Venerable One wishes. However, neutral souls happen to be the most among the people, with nine out of ten. If we follow this arrangement, won’t a majority of the souls have nowhere to go?”

Little did he know that troublesome matters were Sir System’s pet peeve. The majority of these souls were neutral souls, who evil but did not conduct any good either. All they did was follow the rules.

Sir was too lazy to manage anything under this circumstance and would naturally prefer to release them into exile.

“In your opinion, what should we do, Fawang?” asked Vigilante A.

“Naturally, the souls would need to be judged in order to learn about mistakes in their last lifetime and arrangements for them will be made according to their conduct...” Tianjing Fawang said as he turned the beads in his hands.

“There are many deaths every day that produce a lot of souls, who would have the time and patience to judge every soul by the conduct of their previous lifetime?” asked Vigilante A.

“I am without capability, but I am willing to take up the responsibility,” said Tianjing Fawang seriously.

“From your words, do you intend to be the King of Hell?” Vigilante A said suddenly.

Everyone looked at each other, was the Venerable Dragon God happy or angry? He was not one to show his emotions.

“Venerable One, you have misunderstood me, I have no intention of grabbing power, I’m just willing to do my best within the best of my capabilities and help those poor lonely souls find their place,” Fawang placed his palms together at the words, and had a serious look on his old, orange face.

“There are so many neutral souls, what are the opinions of the rest of you in regards to an arrangement?” Vigilante A said with a look of slight annoyance.

The River God of Sky River smiled but said nothing while the Bodhisattva Spirit King shook his head, all Tianjing Fawang did was place his palms together.

“What’s going on, Mr. Rich Boss? Has everyone turned into mutes? I’m just a naïve and honest System and can’t handle this. Why don’t you deal with them instead?” said Sir gloomily.

“That’s simple, all of them are well aware of the huge benefit hidden here but they won’t voice it out since unlike you, they do care about having some face,” Fang Ning took the opportunity to put Sir down.

“Well thank you for the praise. Elders have said once before that with a thick skin, one will be unbeatable. Since you mentioned this hidden benefit, let’s hear your thoughts on how not to let it fall into their hands,” Sir said adamantly.

“First of all, those neutral souls do have rich working experience. As long as we are able to provide a medium for them to continue activity, we will be able to capitalize on their labor value. For example, those robocops from America, don’t they work on transplanting the souls from living people...?” Fang Ning suddenly came to a shocking realization at his own words.

He stood up immediately from the chair in the System Space and clapped as he said, “This is indeed frightening, no wonder Black Robe wanted to enter this realm at all costs, Demon Lord Zhi Nan is indeed a skillful strategist, he had thought so far ahead...”

“I’m not understanding, can you explain it better?” Sir said resentfully.

“I’m saying that Zhi Nan, that bald donkey, used America’s technology to research the robocops in preparation for today. His real target is all these souls... As long as human civilization still exists, there would be a limitless supply of souls to be used in the central intelligence of these robocops. He would have had so many warriors who obey only him,” Fang Ning deduced.

“Wow, is it really that incredible? That he is able to plan so far ahead? Didn’t he want to place all those souls into his Paradise Realm?” Sir asked dubiously.

“You have a point. If only we can find out what is his ultimate goal, then we would be able to understand his actions,” Fang Ning was starting to get a headache from all the thinking and was too lazy to continue...

“Let’s forget about it, I don’t want to continue this nonsense with you. Anyway, I’ve already found out that these souls are very useful. Pair them together with the shells of the robocops, we can have free labor... It’s not a bad idea, Mr. Rich Boss, your brainwave is as sharp as always. I won’t need to pay any labor costs for my properties and businesses, no more paying salaries, hahahaha!” Sir said delightedly.

“Keep a low profile... Don’t get overjoyed like an immature little kid. You’re an embarrassment to Systems everywhere,” lectured Fang Ning.

“Don’t forget I’m a 2 year old child system...” Sir said indignantly.

“Stop the nonsense already, there is important work to do. I’m tired and it’s time for me to take my rest. I’ve been exhausting myself for the past few days with all the worry and fear. I’d better rest for at least half a month,” Fang Ning was indignant as well.

“Just half a month? Not any longer?” Sir said condescendingly.

“No. You must have something up your sleeve,” Fang Ning covered himself with the blanket and blocked all the noise.

“Good that you are aware. When I’ve fully grasped this realm, I’ll seal your lazy memories, then we’ll see if you can still take your rest...” said Sir delightedly.

Fang Ning had long started snoring.

...

At the moment, Vigilante A was in a daze, but suddenly said, “Since no one has anything to say, I do have an idea.”

He shared the brainwave of placing the souls into the robocops.

“The Venerable One indeed has foresight. This way, man and spirit will not be mixed up and there will be no problem with the issue of reincarnation. I definitely agree,” the Bodhisattva Spirit King immediately gave his approval.

This way was much better than the Spiritual Insect Reincarnation plan. At the very least, utilizing the robocops would still allow the souls to maintain some sort of human form.

However, on further thought, there was an advantage to the plan for Spiritual Insect Reincarnation, the souls will still be living beings unlike robocops, which were created by technology and not considered to be living... They would have no hope when it came to cultivating their paths.

The other two powerhouses looked at each other and nodded.

Tianjing Fawang would naturally want to introduce the idea of three lifetimes into this world, however, there were at least two people opposed to this and there was no way he could force this on them. The only thing left to do is temporarily agree and to deal with it at a later time.

The River God of Sky River agreed because he needed the offerings of living people.

Vigilante A’s plan will bring an abundance of cheap labor. The more laborers, the more the population could be sustained. It would be greatly beneficial to him.

He would of course, not object.

“In this case, the four of us will determine where Earth’s souls will reside. The good will be reincarnated, the bad will fall while the neutral will depend on their souls. Let’s leave the details to your respective subordinates...” the River God of Sky River concluded.

Vigilante A nodded, as did the other two powerhouses.

At this moment, a voice rang out from afar.

“Hmph, a huge issue such as determining where souls will reside has man, spirit, God and Buddha present, how can us demons be excluded?”

Everyone turned toward the source of the voice.

A man in black robes emanating fully with demon energy arrived at the new realm.

“Black Robe, seeing as you have not committed any serious evil, I have given you leeway more than once. Yet, you have come to disrupt this discussion among the four of us. Your intentions are not pure. Are you aware this is committing a big sin?” Vigilante A said lightly.

“Hmph, stop pinning guilty verdicts on me. I’m here to say only one thing. If you are planning to place the souls in the robocops, you won’t be able to achieve it in another hundred years without the technology provided by my Master. The information that is in the hands of the Americans are only a scratch of the surface,” Black Robe came up the hill in a few steps, completely ignoring the people guarding it at the foot of the hill.

“In that case, you are indeed qualified to take part in the discussion,” Vigilante A said definitely without actually losing his temper.
