Chapter 528 - With Ones Own Power (2/2)

“Hey, sir, this is not a nice thing to say. The Venerable Dragon God had never appointed anyone because he’s strong. He would only eliminate criminals and left the management of the city to our own,” explained the staffer.

“Is that so? That’s uncommon, could it be that he’s someone who’s obsessed with cultivation?” Elder Ancestor Bai asked pointedly.

“I… don’t think so? He has many things to take care of. With the kind of things he had to worry about, he probably didn’t have a lot of time to cultivate.” The staffer explained in confusion.

Elder Ancestor Bai nodded, saying, “Heh, that means he’s not power hungry, that’s a good thing.”

Staffer Zhang was puzzled. The letter of recommendation said that the herbologist was someone who often loses himself in the world of botany and never cared about secular issues.

However, from the way he spoke, he looked like an upper-level manager of sorts.

He became slightly wary and thought, ‘Is someone outside trying to infiltrate this paradise?

‘I can’t let it happen. Everything here was built brick by brick by moral people like me and the others. It’s basically a perfect world.

‘At the very least, there are no other places where everyone was kind and friendly to each other.’

He would not let anyone destroy this place.

Staffer Zhang immediately made a decision and said snakily, “He must not have time to care about these affairs, this is a good thing. After all, everyone has their own strengths. Only if everyone holds their own can we change the world for the better.”

“Heh, maybe.” Elder Ancestor Bai shook his head. He had his own precepts that were unyielding.

Staffer Zhang pressed a button hidden in his pocket and kept the conversation, “With your age-granted wisdom, you must have some opinions about how we run things. Perhaps you could give us some advice?”

“Sure, alright.” Elder Ancestor Bai was in a good mood, so he immediately said, “You guys are pretty good at most of the things but one. Snakes cannot go without a head. Like all things in the world, you need a strong leader to make sure everything is in control. Only with every part of the organization together can you move together as one and destroy your enemies.”

“That is a really good speech, sir. That’s right, we are building this city under the leadership of the Venerable Dragon God.” Staffer Zhang nodded in agreement.

“No, no, you’ve misunderstood me,” Elder Ancestor Bai shook his head. “The Venerable Dragon God is like a protector. He did not behave as a leader. A leader in the Era of Vitality is different from the past ones. He should be able to satisfy a few conditions…”

“Please enlighten us.” Staffer Zhang’s interest was piqued. To him, Morality City’s operation was already close to perfection.

Every intendant was doing their best for the city, would never steal from the city, operating within the law, and would never push away tasks they can handle.

Meanwhile, normal citizens treated each other with kindness, worked hard, and repaid each other fairly. That, to him, was already a really good mode of operation.

‘There are better ways than this?’

He did not believe they needed any more strong leaders. Would it not be enough to have them rule themselves? There were no huge problems before this.

Elder Ancestor Bai stated while maintaining his poker face, “Firstly, the leader should have extremely remarkable power. The power I’m speaking of includes intelligence, strength, and will. With high intelligence, one can enrapture the hearts of thousands upon thousands of people, lead the fates of thousands upon thousands of lives, and point toward the futures of thousands upon thousands of souls. With a strong body, one can protect the peace among thousands upon thousands of citizens.

“One would also need a strong will and resolution to keep his head on the initial goal no matter what had happened and see things to the end. Only with that can he lead a race, a nation, and a realm to its highest achievement.”

“Can such an individual exist in real life?” Staffer Zhang listened with a dropped jaw.

“Not currently, but he will appear soon enough.”

“Who is he?”

“God.”
