Chapter 846
In the year 8022 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Lingjing Star
In a room in Modern City, Fa Kong sat upright on a chair. In front of him was a video projection using VR technology that made him feel like he was there.
The projection was a documentary about the changes at Lingjing Star over the decades.
The documentary started with a traditional society in Lingjing Star, filled with Buddhist cultivators, temples, and people in front of the camera, most of whom wore ragged clothes, were very thin, and had blank expressions on their faces.
Then, the cultivators from Blue Star appeared. They killed the Buddhist cultivators, destroyed the temples, seized all the farmland, and distributed it to the people. Amid the people’s anxiety, teams of workers also appeared one after another.
These workers operated strange machines to build roads and bridges for the people in the area, to create water systems, and to forcefully promote their so-called fertilizers.
Then the harvest was abundant, a real bounty. Fa Kong saw the surprise on the faces of the people. Even more surprising was that the Blue Star people collected very low taxes, leaving most of the food for the people. Many of them finally ate until they were full for the first time, and they knelt to worship the Blue Star people with more sincerity than when they knelt before any statue.
Next came a great change in society. The Blue Star people opened schools and stores, set strict laws, and told the people what they should do and what they could do.
The knowledge in the schools was very unique, the goods in the stores were plentiful and very cheap, making them affordable even for the poor. The numbness on the faces of the people slowly faded, and smiles became more common.
