Chapter 189: Chapter 59
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The autumn wind was blowing, causing the leaves to rustle . Sui Xiong fixed his gaze upon the dead body that was lying among the withered leaves . He let out a heavy sigh .
It was another clone of his . Traverser Sui Xiong MK3 had died .
The cause of death was merely sickness . It wasn’t even a severe sickness!
According to Sui Xiong’s judgement, he reckoned that it had been merely a cold . If he had been in the world before he had traversed, he might not even have needed an infusion, but only scheduled medication, proper rest and sufficient fluids in order to recover in a few days .
However, the poor woodman didn’t even have extra money to look for a pastor to buy medication . So, he dragged things out, allowing it to become more severe . In the end, he even coughed up blood!
Plus, he was short of food and clothing at that time, not to mention that his nutrition was very lacking . So, his body grew weak gradually, until he was so worn down and eventually died .
After he died, he didn’t even have a grave . Instead, his body was simply abandoned in the wild .
This may have been because he was so poor, even though he worked very hard all of his life . Even so, his income was barely enough to keep himself fed . For half a year’s time, he didn’t even manage to earn enough to buy a decent outfit . The level of poverty that he lived at would simply make one shed tears of sympathy .
Sui Xiong reminisced about the clone’s short life, feeling a righteous indignation on the clone’s behalf .
“No wonder bro resorted to killing and escaping back then . I thought it was just his character, but it seems that I was wrong . No one could withstand such a job!”
After taking care of the dead body of his poor clone, Sui Xiong was thinking about how to design the next clone .
In such a world, it’s better to have professional skills . The income of a job that depended on strength alone was too low, so the clone wouldn’t survive for long with that . However, with a skill, the clone would then be able to settle down and get on with his life!
He thought carefully and decided in the end…
Actually, it’s not bad being a chef . Let him be a chef on the next round then . At least I have never heard of any chef that starved to death!
Then, traverser Sui Xiong MK4 was officially created . He was a mediocre looking young man, who had some strength and was quick in response . There was also some knowledge about the food business that Sui Xiong intentionally planted in his brain .
Then, Sui Xiong left the clone with a hint for him to develop himself in town . A few days later, on a night when the breeze was whizzing in a nearby town, a young visitor went to a bar where adventurers always gathered to chat .

He did not ask for alcohol nor order any food, but went to look for the boss directly . He then said straightforwardly, “I am quite a good chef and am looking for a job . ”
The boss, who was once an adventurer, shook his head . “We are only a small bar, so we can’t afford a chef . ”
The young man wasn’t upset, but sniffed a few times . Then, he took a few deep breaths and said, “On your grilled meat, you put too many bay leaves and too little salt . You might need to add more oil, too . ”
The boss was stunned, as he looked towards the piece of meat that was grilling on the rack nearby curiously . The meat was slowing grizzling on the flame, its oil flowing out .
“Still need more oil?” he asked .
The young man nodded with confidence . “If you don’t believe, you could at least let me try . ”
The boss hesitated, but decided to let the young man try . Then, the grilled meat sold extremely well that day! Those adventurers, who were normally not interested in anything else other than alcohol, all complimented the grilled meat .
After trying the grilled meat personally, the boss instantly changed his mind…
It would nice to have a chef! Although I run a bar, I could do some restaurant business on the side . So, why not?
Looking at the clone settling down, Sui Xiong nodded in satisfaction and left . As the descendant of the nation of delicacies, being a chef was a more reliable, smart choice, just as he had expected .
After returning to the theme park, he felt that he had enough rest and was ready to make his holy kingdom . Regarding the design of the holy kingdom, he had received a few proposals . The higher ups in the church definitely devoted their energy and wisdom into researching seriously . In the end, they provided three vastly different proposals .
The first proposal was a holy kingdom that was militarized, complete with a fortress . It was constructed like an onion . The outer layer was a tough shell, then there were triple defenses as a buffer, followed by the training area and the residences of the military troop .
Next, it was civilians area, followed by the functional area . Sui Xiong’s throne was located right in the middle of the entire holy kingdom, in order for it to be held in veneration .
The second proposal was the total opposite of the first . It was a purely peaceful holy kingdom . Thin, floating clouds engulfed the entire holy kingdom, which would connect to the outside world via a rainbow-shaped bridge .
A piece of floating mainland was located among the floating clouds . The mainland had all kinds of weather and living environments for people to reside within and propagate .
As for those that preferred to live underground, they could also live in a built-in cave that was underground . Also, in the middle of the mainland, there was a big inland lake that water creatures could live in . In this proposal, Sui Xiong’s throne was like the sun, seated above the mainland to be worshipped by all living things .

The third proposal was tastefully adorned . The entire holy kingdom was a huge city, and the buildings in the city were extremely luxuriant, where every brick and stone was crafted exquisitely .
Various kinds of artistic venues could be seen around the city, and there was a magnificent sports complex that could hold grand sports events . Sui Xiong’s throne was located somewhere behind the rostrum in the middle of the city, just like a judge’s bench!
Besides the three proposals, there were also a few classic holy kingdom design proposals offered among the various Gods, such as a militarized grand colosseum, a magic and research-focused big college, and a sphere world .
Sui Xiong looked into those proposals carefully and finally, before deciding that the idea of city of arts suited him the most . Although he was well-aware that the design proposal of the city of art was luxurious yet impractical, he reckoned that it wouldn’t fit most of his believers ideals . However, as an artist, he really liked the proposal too much!
Olian deserved to be called a genius . She and her teacher, Wor, collaborated and designed the proposal, which was not only luxurious and delicate, but also totally fit the requirements of an art lover!
But, Sui Xiong still remembered the purpose of the holy kingdom . Taking into consideration the believers’ needs, and also the necessity of practicality, he finally decided to design the holy kingdom into a few floating islands among a sea of clouds .
The original body of the holy kingdom was a vast sea of clouds . Among the clouds, there were be large pieces of floating mainland, just like islands .
On every island, there would be different people residing, with different styles . Regardless of the type of believer, regardless of the lifestyle they liked, they would be able to find a living environment that was suitable for them .
It was also fairly easy to build such a holy kingdom in a way to where it would be convenient to expand in the future . Even if there was a God war in the future, and he wanted to switch the holy kingdom into battle mode, he would only be required to move those peaceful floating islands to the middle of the holy kingdom, while moving the floating islands, where warriors and mages were gathered, to the outer region of the holy kingdom . Then, he could quickly transform the entire kingdom from peaceful mode to battle mode!
Perhaps the best part of the design regarded the throne of Sui Xiong . It was located on a floating island, which was an exact mini version of the city of art itself!
After making a decision, he informed his allies, then began making moves . He was prepared to open up a brand new world!
Under the attentions of the God of Justice and the other people, the huge jellyfish slowly flew into chaos . He was deep in thought, then suddenly transformed into a giant that was holding a huge axe!
The giant roared in anger and waved his axe . He slammed brutally at the chaotic scene around him . The chaos calmed then .
The giant was a little awkward . He saved some energy, then let out another thundering roar, as he waved his huge axe to break the chaos again .
After a few minutes, Sui Xiong turned back into his image of a jellyfish . He came out disheartened .
“Everyone, how do we open up a new world?”
Dealing with the question, various Gods were dumbfounded .
Opening up a new world is easier said than done . What should we do?
The God of Justice quickly got in touch with the King of Order to ask about a concrete method .
“Opening up a new world means bestowing order upon the entire world . It is a process for everything in the world to go towards order from disorder,” the King of Order said .
“It’s that simple?” the God of Justice asked in doubt .
“It’s not simple at all . ” The King of Order shook his head . “The order that I was talking about isn’t my order, but rather the most fundamental order in the entire world . Segregating light and darkness, kindness and wickedness, order and mess, life and death, success and failure, more and less, existence or vanishing… And so on…To segregate all of this is the order that is required by opening up a new world . ”
The God of Justice was stunned and asked, “So, what should we do exactly?”
The King of Order shook his head . “There is not an exact right way . Try to find out for yourself . If you know, you’ll know . If you don’t, then you don’t . Let the jellyfish think about it slowly . ”
The God of Justice told Sui Xiong what he said . Sui Xiong thought about it carefully, then laughed .
“I understand now!”
“What?! You understood?!” The God of Justice was shocked . “You are too smart!”
“So, what should we do?” Morani asked curiously .
“How would I know?” Sui Xiong shook his head, . “I only knew that, from what I see now, I can’t do it . ”
“Then, how could you say you understood?”
“I understood . ” Sui Xiong chuckled . “As I couldn’t do it as of now, I’ll just leave it here then . We’ll talk about it when I can . I said, ‘I understood’, which didn’t mean that I knew how to open up a new world, but that I understood that ‘I shouldn’t force it, if I couldn’t do it’ . Don’t be in a hurry!”
“But… Just to keep dragging it out won’t work, either…”
“Don’t panic . We will figure out a way sooner or later,” Sui Xiong said casually . “Before that, I’d better do things that I already know how to do!”
“What do you plan to do now?” Morani asked curiously .
Sui Xiong smiled faintly, then said three words unyieldingly…
“Paper! Making! Technology!”

Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.
