Time flew by quickly; the huge explosion that destroyed half of Garth city was one and a half year ago.

Initially, the survivors lived a very tough life. Even though Ray wrecked his brain and took measures that were both legal and illegal, he only wanted to provide the utmost basic material security for victims that had lost their homeland. During winter that year, many of them froze to death, which saddened him.

After the winter, Garth City finally went through a time of repair. Although they were still in a depression and it was still quite a distance from the true “revival,” the entire city was on track to develop stably.

The harvest of the year was not too shabby and made Ray, who was ruler, beam with joy. He reckoned that no one would suffer cold and hunger that winter, or die due to poverty.

To celebrate their bumper harvest, when they had completed their work of reaping autumn grain, he who was called “Garth Iron Rooster” decided to splurge. He held a celebration for his people who had been working for one and a half years to relax and have some fun.

“That’s great! I totally support the idea!” Sui Xiong said. “Are you lacking money? If you are, I have a batch of magic nuclei that are quite good in quality. Although they are all negative energy, they should be worth quite a bit of money…..”

“Money is not a problem,” Ray replied with a smile on his face. “A simple celebration wouldn’t cost much. A normal barbecue, normal wheat wine, normal water, white bread, normal porridge… If we don’t prepare really luxurious items, three thousand gold coins will be sufficient for such celebration. Although it ain’t a small figure, for Garth city now, it is affordable.”

“Huh? You’re not preparing any noble items?”

Ray smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, “I have no choice. I can’t afford it. A noble celebration would cost three to five gold coins per head, while a commoner’s celebration would be able to feed three heads happily with one gold coin. If it was Garth city back then, it wouldn’t be a problem to hold a celebration that was of an even bigger scale. But now, we really can’t afford it!”

“That’s really tough…” Sui Xiong sighed. “Then, is there anything that I can help you with?”

“Of course!” Ray smiled, “I want to invite Your Majesty to join our celebration. I know that you are taking a rest, so sending over your clone would do.”

Sui Xiong was stunned and said in confusion, “Why do you want to invite me? I’d really like to join the crowd, but during a celebration for human, if suddenly there was a green jelly fish that flew around… That wouldn’t be a good idea.”

“What’s not good about that? You are the God that I believe in, you are the final settling place of my soul. At such a celebration, if you are not there, that’s really not good!”

Seeing Ray being so persistent, Sui Xiong hesitated but accepted his invitation.

It’s just another clone after all; it wouldn’t expend much of my energy.

So, after half a day, an invisible green jellyfish was flying around happily on Garth Plaza, which was preparing for a celebration. It flew in circles and up and down, just like a naughty kid.

Ray could clearly see Sui Xiong’s delighted look from his office window. He couldn’t help but smile.

“Even if he is God, he needs entertainment just like human!” He sighed. “All this time; His Majesty must be exhausted from training and building the church. I’m glad he will seize the chance to relax. Looking at people’s smiling face would made one feel happy too.”

Then, he lowered his head to continue managing government affairs.

Along with Garth City’s gradual revival, the government affairs that he had to take care of increased. There were urgent cases every day. Even those that were not urgent, would become so over time. Plus, there would be more unexpected trouble that could happen.

Ever since he took up the post, for the past a year and a half, he didn’t even have time for martial arts training during his busiest times.

Fortunately, it had gotten much better…

Sui Xiong didn’t know Ray was having a tough live. At that very moment, he was enjoying his time flying around the plaza and savoring the leisure that was hard to come by.

All this time, he had been busy working underground and couldn’t see broad daylight. Even though his body didn’t feel exhaustion, spiritually it was tiring. He was delighted to be able to relax at the moment.

He flew past the busy crowd happily and saw smiling faces that were filled with anticipation and hope. He was feeling even happier then.

“Ray deserved his origins of a prince. He was capable, just as expected! Within the short timespan of two years, he turned Garth city, which almost fell into ruins, into quite something. Such efficiency; he could be considered as a capable person even on Earth!”

He flew while he sighed with emotion. Suddenly, his body shook and he stopped immediately to look at a corner of the plaza.

It was a stage set up for bard to perform. That very moment, there was a good looking young man that was playing his flute gently on the chair. He was not the kind that had broad chest and enough breath. He didn’t look like he was using much effort, but the deep melodious flute seemed to have penetration power to spread all over the plaza, leisurely. It was like a warm wind in summer, warming up everyone’s heart.
