The First Reforms

Ming Ge nodded slightly, which relieved him of his concerns.

Next, we will organize the story, as well as some original heroic tales collected from the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia, and mass-produce them using papermaking and printing techniques, selling them all over the world.

Especially the story of Abimedius, although it had nothing to do with Ming Ge, he just couldn't stand it.

Abimedius, who saved most of the lower realms, harbored hatred because he failed to save everyone, and he used his honest benefactor as a dumping ground for his anger.

Because of their constant missions to save others, they were accused of having no achievements, and even the tombstones and names of their comrades were not allowed to be left behind.

Because of Abimedius's immense power, he aroused the fear of kings and nobles.

After being lost for thousands of years, Abimedius finally turned his malice toward the mortal realm.

Having read the original novel, Ming Ge still finds it hard to imagine that the protagonist's conviction could overcome Abimedius's malice.

Of course, if Abimedius still wanted to destroy the lower realm as in the original story, Ming Ge would definitely stop him.

Despite his displeasure, Ming Ge didn't want the lower realm to be blown up into the sky. At most, the lower realm would be repaired by the world's corrective forces, and the gods would rebuild the game board. On the contrary, Ming Ge's life would become a mess.

"Let's deal with the Heavenly Fire in a while."

Ming Ge murmured, "However, it's a bit difficult. Before dealing with the Heavenly Fire, perhaps we can get our hands on the Heavenly Fire's Ritual Sword first?"

Speaking of which, ever since Abimedius gave up his conquests and built Olympia according to Prometheus's oracle to guard the Heavenly Fire, this thing has been constantly polluted by the environment of the lower world.

Ultimately, the celestial realm is a perfect world completely different from the material world. It is only natural that the perfect fire of Heavenly Fire, falling into the filthy lower realm, would be polluted.

It erupted three hundred years ago, destroying most of Olympia, and it could erupt again in a little over ten years, destroying the entire Netherworld.

It would be a good thing if we could deal with the Heavenly Fire ahead of time, as it would remove a major threat.

It's extremely difficult; even Hestia, who wields the eternal holy fire and possesses powerful purifying abilities, had to sacrifice herself to purify the Heavenly Fire.

Although Hestia was sealed away, Ming Ge didn't think his ultimate purification magic would be effective against that behemoth.

If we were to actually do it, we would have to create a fairy specifically designed to counter the Heavenly Fire.

Container, purification, and transformation— Ming Ge currently has these three methods.

Time flies—several days have passed quickly.

The news of Orario's outer city being established quickly spread throughout the world.

Although it has not been officially crowned yet, it has already attracted countless people who want to become residents of Orario.

With the gods now sealing their divine power, Ming Ge is truly a god among men.

I'm overjoyed to have such a powerful hero protecting me.

No more worries about being attacked by monsters, no more worries about disease, and no more worries about going hungry.

In just a few days, one-twentieth of the outer city was filled.

Cement, food, medicine, various metals, parts—numerous factories were established, and countless people gained new jobs.

The adventurers dropped their swords and headed to the factory to tighten screws.

Life seems to have changed, yet it seems to have remained the same. At least I no longer have to live a life of constant danger, and my salary is no less than what I earn from playing in the newbie zone of the Dungeon.

Gradually, they also realized that this kind of life wasn't so bad.

"I feel like... I no longer have a reason to be a hero."

Finn stood on the inner city wall, looking at the outer city that had appeared in just half a day, and the bustling factories, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

The rise of the Dungeon and the reforms in Orario have undoubtedly changed the fate of too many people.

Even this future hero candidate, who would be known as the 'Hero,' couldn't help but feel lost.

"Overall, things are moving in a positive direction."

Riveria stood beside him, maintaining a certain distance as she gazed into the distance.

Her dream is to travel the world, and as a member of the Elf royal family, what happens in Orario or the Dungeon doesn't affect her much.

However, the changes in Orario also piqued her curiosity. What would Ming Ge bring to this world? These were things she eagerly anticipated.

Especially... thinking of Ming Ge, Riveria felt extremely complicated emotions rising within her for some reason.

Perhaps, it's a longing?

P. S.: The Orario image in the first chapter seems to have been created by a skilled player in Minecraft.

Chapter 123 The Initial Reforms

Finn was Pallum, a race of weak Pallum. Furthermore, the goddess they worshipped was a fictional goddess who did not actually exist, so their lives were very humble.

This world is rife with racial discrimination, and the Pallum are the lowest of the low among the inhabitants of the underworld... Therefore, Finn's dream and ambition is to stand at the top as Pallum.

This is the only way to prevent the Pallum from being discriminated against and to help Pallum become confident and no longer feel inferior.

In the city that Ming Ge created, even the Pallum could have the most suitable jobs for them, and they would no longer be bullied and oppressed.

That's why Finn felt confused.

"Yes, it's all moving in a positive direction."

Finn sighed, then added, "But looking at this city, even the Pallum are assigned to areas suitable for them. This makes me wonder if I've taken the wrong path in the past."

"Compared to my method, the Demon King's method is far superior."

Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness.

These 24 core values are engraved on the walls inside and outside the inner city of Orario, and this is not just a symbolic gesture.

At least Finn, who had observed it firsthand, knew that Ming Ge was genuinely working to ensure that the Pallum received equal treatment with other races.

As for the rest... that's for the Pallum to fight for themselves.

Even if the Pallum's humility cannot be changed in a short time, Ming Ge will take extra care of them to fundamentally eliminate bullying.

"So you've lost your goal and feel lost?"

Riveria chuckled and said, "As expected of the Pallum, so fragile."

Finn was the first member of Loki Familia, and Riveria was the second.
