Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 398: Chapter 397: What the Hell Kind of Title Is This?

He was finally back.

Standing once again in that pure white space, Fang Zheng let out a sigh of relief. This world had left a far greater impact on Fang Zheng than any other, not just because he had broken through the legendary bottleneck here. It was more because the darkness and corruption of this world made it somewhat suffocating for Fang Zheng. Honestly, even facing the cultists back in the Main World seemed better than continuing to stay in this world. After all, in the Main World, despite the chaos and decay among the cultists, you could at least find some comfort from the kindness of ordinary people.

But in this world... damn, Fang Zheng felt like drawing his sword and slaying anyone he passed on the street.

Let the Swarm deal with this hellish world; I can’t take it anymore.

With that thought, Fang Zheng shook his head, then once again looked towards the system in front of him and spoke.

”Begin the settlement.”

As his words fell, rows of system information quickly reappeared in front of him.

[Beginning the evaluation of the user’s completion of the Dimensional World]

[King Shurou: Unblossomed flowers are treasures worth protecting. As the gardener of the garden, you have resolved to protect these immature fruits at all costs. Your kindness and love will nourish their growth, conquer the lilies, making them shy. Your love for them transcends time, space, and all boundaries, and no one can deny the fierce passion burning in your heart (Wearing this title, all young girl attribute characters start with a close initial fondness towards you and have a higher chance of drawing the Soul Summoning Stones of young girl attributes; the title is automatically worn and cannot be removed.)]

”............”

What kind of nonsense is this?

Looking at the system description floating before him, Fang Zheng was utterly speechless.

Although he admitted he really liked Fumie Busei, Tina, and Natsuse, by heaven, Fang Zheng swore he had never thought of making a move on them! At most, he would just hug them or kiss their cheeks, which was surely a very innocent form of affection!

I’m a respectable person! How am I supposed to face anyone with this title on?

And what’s this about automatically wearing it and it being non-removable?!

Even if I did resolve to protect them, it’s because they are young, not just because they are young girls... at least not only that!

Even if you were my son, you shouldn’t be compromising your dad’s right to a good reputation!

The only consolation Fang Zheng now had was that this reputation title would only be seen in the system. If the title King Shurou were visibly displayed above his head, then Fang Zheng would never go out again, how could he face anyone!

However......

Looking at the last line of system prompts, Fang Zheng was serious.

He hadn’t received any missions in the Pitch Black World, not because of a system bug, but because he had resolved to convert this place into a Free World. Instead of issuing him tasks, the system evaluated his actions. This time, his rating was B+, which was barely passable. Naturally, it couldn’t compare to the S rating in the World of Shana, but considering how he had dealt with the people of the Pitch Black World, Fang Zheng thought B+ was fair enough; at least he had rescued those children from hellfire, and other Cursed Children would gradually move away from their original environment to a better place where they could receive education and lead better lives.

Changing the Black World was far more difficult and time-consuming than dealing with the Void Domain. Fang Zheng did not expect to accomplish change in a short period of time. Truth be told, even reaching this step was buoyed by the brainwashing bonus of the Amoeba. Otherwise, it would have been even more challenging.

However, aside from that, Fang Zheng had another worry.

It was the Amoeba.

After Lulana had modified the Amoeba, Fang Zheng felt as if he had created Pandora’s Magic Box. Although the Amoeba seemed useful, it was precisely because of its usefulness that Fang Zheng needed to act with caution. If he wished, he could even brainwash everyone around him, whether it was Nanali, Kuliya, Natsuse, Tina, or Midori, turning them into puppets who would completely obey him yet retain their original memories.

Alternatively, he could simply infuse his enemies or those secretive rivals with an Amoeba and utterly transform their thoughts and personalities.

But by doing so, Fang Zheng felt he was treading on a dark path. Such actions might be justifiable on occasion, but ultimately they were not presentable. If he failed to control his impulses, he would likely find himself in a troublesome situation later on.

Great power and strong will are indispensable; self-restraint and self-control are equally critical.

With that thought, Fang Zheng clenched his fists. NovelFire.Côm-cσ๓

He had already broken through the bottleneck of Legendary, and he possessed a considerably large force; what came next... he had naturally already decided.

Accumulating power, waiting for the opportunity, to reintroduce Heavenly Dao Palace to the world.

However, at the moment, Fang Zheng had not yet found the opportunity.

A flash of Radiance.

Fang Zheng returned to the Heavenly Dao Palace, where he could feel that, with his return, the dimension of the palace had also shifted back to the Main World.

”Ah, Brother Fang Zheng!”

”Mr. Fang Zheng!”

Walking on the street, he could frequently see Cursed Children greeting Fang Zheng. The current state of Heavenly Dao Palace had greatly changed compared to before. Previously, other than the initial grand palace and the subsequent manor and a few eateries which he had exchanged for, it felt like a small village.

But now, it was gradually transforming into a town.

Initially, Fang Zheng had wanted to directly exchange for an Academy City, but he realized after looking through the exchange list that these Academy Cities were not only expansive but also required billions of Furniture Coins... In the end, Fang Zheng had to choose to expand slowly while gradually improving the urban system inside Heavenly Dao Palace.

The places where these children lived were somewhat manageable, but schools were genuinely a headache for Fang Zheng. His Furniture Coins were all from selling Ironblood Warships in the Ironblood World. Now that Ironblood was ruined, the warships were nearly all sold, so the schools he could afford to exchange were naturally only the cheaper ones.

Initially, Fang Zheng planned to exchange for a few elementary schools, given that all these children were of elementary school age, but after looking through the list of exchanges, he was completely at a loss for words...

Tenjin Elementary... Teitan Elementary... well, Fang Zheng was definitely not interested in playing horror or mystery games in Heavenly Dao Palace, so he had to settle for high schools instead... however...

Fujimi Academy... Private Hope Peak Academy... Megurigaoka Academy...

Okay, Fang Zheng silently flipped past the exchange list.

He was equally uninterested in despair games and Resident Evil, okay!

So what was left was...

Private Lilian Women’s Academy... Seiun Girls’ Academy... Oarai Girls’ Academy... Senriyama Girls... Otsuki Academy...

Well, Fang Zheng could already smell the scent of lilies blossoming in Heavenly Dao Palace...
