After that fateful day's worth of discussions and revelations, the King of Ress found a new purpose to work on. While he knows he can return to his home world, and is able to not give a fuck about this place any longer, he chooses not to. Jin still feels that if he does have some responsibility in giving the city the proper closure it needs, the proper laying of foundation before he goes.
After all when he considered all the worlds he had passed through tribulations, he had asked the System and his fellow teammate Qiu Yue to clean up the mess he had made. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was merely using her to clean up his mess. When he thought logically on the surface, Qiu Yue came to help him mainly because of one thing and perhaps one thing only.
Money.
What the dungeon supplier admired about her was that she could put all her emotions aside and placed her goals and dreams based on the money that she received. Unlike Jin who wanted money to build his reputation, his goal of spreading dungeons like a crazy man, Qiu Yue was doing this job because of the money.
Of course, the perks of building brand new cities from scratch were a bonus for her and motivation to continue the work despite the heavy load of duties, tasks and responsibilities but the money that Jin paid her was considerably higher than anything she or her peers could ever earn.
In that one year, if Qiu Yue so ever wishes, she could already get a penthouse in central Shanghai with leftover money to spend for renovation purposes plus get a new car with a cleaner and chauffeur to drive her around. There was no way her current peers were able and capable of doing such a thing previously. The only problem is that all this money while technically legal, people would be suspicious of her.
So, Qiu Yue decided to stay in Jin's place for the moment while accumulating more money until the dungeon supplier got bigger and had a reputation under their name. This way, she could spend money while not even worrying about being audited. (Although the System had Claire, their System financial bookkeeper and accountant to make sure that things were as sparkling clean as it is.)
"Guess, I will just clean up this mess I made then?" It was a thought that Jin had been fighting for a long time in himself before deciding that this was one of the ways to get things done even though he knew that when he left, Ress would ultimately disappear because of the timeline as compared to his home world.
But after coming so far, working so hard to achieve his goal and the trial set by King Baal, he feels responsible for making sure that he can leave a proper legacy for Ress even though he was not of this world.
So, in the next few days, the King of Ress hosted a small event in Lyro saying goodbye to their enemies turned precious allies as the Celestials returned to their home plane. It was at that moment that he started to work his way back to Ress, recreating and repairing the initial roadworks that his citizens had laid the foundation prior to the war.Since his powers and skill rank had grown tremendously as compared to the initial start of it all, Jin was able to bring out Mr Hammer and get things done in a jiffy as long as the military had prepared the necessary materials out in the open for him to work on.
Thus, he was akin to a literal Jesus in Earth Mages's terms. As he walked by the pile of construction or junk materials, roads and houses were rebuilt with just a knock from Mr Hammer. Things were proceeding so smoothly that those who never believed in magic and saw Jin, would worship him as a person of tremendous power. Even the current Archmage of Ress, the supposed strongest mage alive in the world felt like he was a mere assistant walking beside him.
Even though the road from Lyro to New Ress City took a few days, Jin did not stop walking nor did he stop for a break. Naturally, this was brought into the headlines and citizens from all walks of life had decided to join their King in this so called 'Sacred Walk of Restoration' the moment Jin was close to Ress's borders.
Of course, people would get tired from walking a day without rest not to mention without food but Jin told them to rest as needed while he continued his way to the capital. Unlike the mages who still functioned themselves as normal humans, Jin had his cultivation style to rely on. All the sleepless nights of planning, and the hectic clearing of major workload, the citizens never knew all of this at all.
Only now when they saw their King, live in broad daylight that he was able to clear to perform such deeds that were only heard in rumours that they realised their King might be someone of an extraordinary status. They had always known that the Hero summoning in their kingdom would provide someone that was beyond their usual capabilities but to think that they had been graced by someone as strong and resolute as him was not something they could get off the shelves.
Hence, many came to bask in his presence the moment Jin came into Ress's borders. It was to the point the Commando Mages had to step in and make sure that their King would be well protected from the growing mass of followers coming in to see the 'miracles' that Jin was doing.
However, as much as he wished to restore every single thing with a snap of a finger or a knock on Mr Hammer's head, he was not a god. (yet). He urged everyone to stay calm and follow the entourage towards the edges of New Ress Capital where he would proceed to the Central Square and send out the celebratory fireworks that Ress had finally won the day and commemorate the end of this 'Sacred Walk of Restoration".
Experience tales at empire
Needless to say, this event eventually sparked the annual Walkathon by the government where they raised money through the event for the charity of Ress.
