Despite this position, if possible, Yukino Haruno would very much like to give Fang Yan the status of Director Hakuba, or even a higher position than Director Hakuba.
But when she thought about reality, Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent. It seemed that Fang Yan didn't need such a position. Although she didn't have real power, he could still get others to do things for him with just a word.

And you don't even need to do those chores.
"Moreover, it's not like no one has tried to get my attention before. It seems that the mainland wants to establish a new department specifically to deal with ghosts and manage cultivators, and they want me to become their manager. Of course, I might not be the highest-ranking manager, but it would still be a high-ranking position with great power. However, I refused in the end!" Fang Yan then shook his head slightly and said.
..........
"The mainland has such a grand ambition?" Artoria looked at Fang Yan in surprise. The idea of managing all cultivators was unprecedented, even in ancient times.
Why did Liu Bowen sever the dragon vein? Wasn't it to allow the authorities to better manage cultivators, reduce the appearance of ghosts and monsters, and thus maintain social stability?
The resurgence of spiritual energy is both a disaster and an opportunity for many, but it is more of a disaster.
But for most people, it was still a good thing, because there were very few people in ancient times, and their lifespans were even shorter.
Besides being related to war, various disasters, and illnesses, it is also related to ghosts and monsters. Countless people have died because of ghosts and monsters.
To be fair, the period of most rapid development actually occurred after the decline of spiritual energy; during this period, scientific development was the fastest.
But now that spiritual energy has revived, and the mainland is playing such big games, it still surprises Artoria. For example, would Fang Yan be willing to be controlled?
The stronger they are, the harder they are to control.

Chapter 376 What's so good about being a king?
Faced with Artoria's question, Fang Yan simply chuckled and said, "Confucians use their words to disrupt the law, and knights use their martial arts to break the law. This is a saying from the mainland, which came out a long time ago. However, I feel that this saying makes sense in any era."
Even I sometimes break the law with violence!
It's simply because my strength is too great! At the same time, I also restrain myself. However, many of those so-called masters are actually like this. They have their own considerations, but they don't like to submit to others. They like to do things according to their own rules.
Especially for those cultivators, restricting their behavior and controlling them is tantamount to restraining their true nature, which can even be considered an irreconcilable enmity!
"So, you want to make you public enemy number one?" Erina Nakiri immediately became furious, her whole demeanor like a cat with its fur standing on end.
She didn't particularly care about what Fang Yan had said before. As for marriage, Nakiri Erina believed that Fang Yan would give her an explanation. She would always be the main wife, and everyone else would be secondary.
But now that Fang Yan might attract hatred, Erina Nakiri couldn't stand it anymore. How could those guys be so irresponsible?
Is this meant to roast Fang Yan over a fire?
It's fortunate that Erina Nakiri couldn't defeat those guys, otherwise, she would have wanted to run to the mainland to fight them to the death.
"Whether it's a constraint or not, I don't particularly care. If I really wanted to manage this matter, it wouldn't be impossible, even if it offended people, I wouldn't care much! I'm just too lazy to manage it. In fact, if I took the initiative, I could be the one in actual power!" Fang Yan shook his head slightly: "Of course, there might really be some trouble on the mainland, that's inevitable!"
Actually, there's one thing Fang Yan didn't tell Nakiri Erina and the others: once he goes to the mainland, it might be difficult for him to return. At that time, Nakiri Erina and the others would also have to leave with him, since Fang Yan lived on the mainland in his previous life.
He also liked the mainland, but in this life, he had always lived here. Anyway, it was all the same country, so there was no difference.
Of course, the most crucial point is that, as of now, Fang Yan doesn't know how deep the waters of this world really are, or what level of power truly powerful people possess. What if he provokes some old monster that he can't defeat?
Fang Yan didn't know what the future held. Since those people hadn't bothered him and didn't seem to have done anything wrong, why should he step in?
Fang Yan even looked forward to seeing what the world would become in the future and to how far the privileges of the strong would extend.
In a sense, he and those powerful individuals, well, those with inherited lineages, belong to the same faction, or even form an invisible alliance, even though they have never met and even when they do, there are various conflicts and life-or-death struggles.
However, this does not prevent them from having the same interests.
Fang Yan didn't know what he wanted, but he still wanted the treatment he deserved.
There's no need to become the king of a country. Can't you just grant yourself initial power?
Even if he did have it, he wouldn't want it!
“Indeed, someone as powerful as you probably doesn’t want constraints. However, there are still some people who use their strength to do evil, and that’s the most unacceptable thing. It’s a pity that this world doesn’t have the merit and karma you’re talking about!” Artoria said with a sigh…
She had studied this kind of thing after she came here, especially the culture of the mainland.
It's a pity that such a thing doesn't seem to exist in this world. Even spiritual energy disappeared for a long time. How can we expect this world to reward good and evil in the end?
"Indeed, it's a bit of a pity!" Fang Yan sighed. If he had accumulated merit, he could have gone to fight those monsters with heavy karma in the future. He could not only get system points but also merit. How wonderful!
Can merits and good deeds be converted into points?
It should be possible. After all, my own system is quite powerful in this area.
"So you're always fighting for them? I see them coming to you for help all the time, and you help them out too!" Yukino Yukinoshita said, "If you do this for a long time, it will give them the illusion that it's easy for you to fight, or even that your help is cheap."
"It's not 2.4, they should understand that. It's just that I'm interested in this kind of thing, and it can solve some special problems and protect humanity, so there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not a saint, I don't want to save the world, and I won't sacrifice myself to protect others, but I can't just watch others die. Besides, they know I'm not a knife. If you really piss me off, I'm more terrifying than those monsters!" Fang Yan said seriously, "Alright, let's get ready a bit. We're going on an archaeological expedition tomorrow!"
(Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and auto-subscribe! Love you all!)
Chapter 377 Does Nuwa Exist?
"Archaeology?" Hearing Fang Yan's words, the corners of the other people's mouths twitched involuntarily. Archaeology? Isn't that a joke?
Are you sure this isn't tomb raiding?
"How can official matters be considered tomb raiding? That's archaeology!" Fang Yan said without batting an eye.
He recalled a cultural rogue from his past life who, in order to create the work he wanted, instigated the authorities to dig up an emperor's tomb, causing enormous damage. Afterward, the rogue went on a rampage, trying to rob other emperors' tombs.
I just wanted to see the burial goods!
Completely disregarding whether these things will be damaged after being exposed to the outside air, it can be said that such a person is really selfish.
However, Fang Yan did not have such concerns. He could dig up Himiko's grave without a care, since there was probably nothing inside anyway. If Himiko really was Amaterasu, Fang Yan estimated that it was just a cenotaph.
As for whether digging up Himiko's grave would provoke Amaterasu and thus make them enemies.
Heh, given the current situation, they will also regard him as an enemy, after all, he killed Susanoo!
In mythology, Susanoo doesn't have a good reputation, but they are practically one entity, like family!
Although family members may not have good relationships and may even fight to the death, they are usually united against outsiders.
Even Fang Yan often did the same thing; regardless of who was right or wrong, the people around him were the most important.
"Is there any danger inside?" At this moment, Artoria stepped forward and asked.
She now roughly knew Himiko's identity—the former ruler of this place. As a princess, the royal tombs of today might not be anything special, but she knew that the tombs of ancient kings were definitely not simple.
Moreover, Himiko was no ordinary person!
That era was likely far stronger than their current era on average. It was even the age of gods, whose power was unfathomable. Even Artoria didn't believe that King Arthur would be a match for those powerful gods, let alone her.
Now we must be careful when facing those ghosts and spirits.
“It’s definitely dangerous. After all, if it weren’t dangerous, they wouldn’t have invited us!” Fang Yan chuckled. “However, I am indeed very interested in Himiko’s tomb, so I accepted their invitation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to Himiko’s tomb for no reason.”
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yan continued, "However, I have something to do today and need to go out. You can cultivate on your own."
Fang Yan's words instantly drew everyone's attention. Fang Yan was going out? It was almost evening!
Was he going out to find girls? That's impossible! After all, Erina Nakiri never cared about Fang Yan's affairs in this regard. At least Erina Nakiri seemed quite magnanimous. As for Mai Sakurajima, nothing happened, right?
Moreover, Fang Yan has so many girls, but he only managed to take advantage of three of them. He hasn't even dealt with the ones at home yet, so how could he possibly go out and look for more?
Did something happen?
Or perhaps, some kind of ghost or monster has appeared again?
Seeing the others' confused expressions, Fang Yan simply chuckled, then his entire body was enveloped in golden light as he donned golden armor. This was a glittering suit of armor; Fang Yan had also obtained this armor when he received Gilgamesh's inheritance, and it was quite useful.
"This is similar to my armor!" Artoria looked at Fang Yan in surprise: "This should be an awakened ability, but what's going on with you?"
Artoria expressed that she had many questions.
She began to wonder if Fang Yan might be the reincarnation of some historical figure.
But those people in history didn't seem to be a match for Fang Yan either, did they?
Artoria had some understanding of Fang Yan's strength; in fact, she didn't believe that Fang Yan had used his full strength when fighting that monster.
Fang Yan's strength is deeper than anyone imagined.
“Gilgamesh!” Fang Yan said calmly, “However, I am different from you. I only obtained Gilgamesh’s 447 ability!”
“Gilgamesh?” Artoria murmured, then her expression changed slightly: “That legendary hero! The oldest king?”
“It’s probably the oldest village chief!” Fang Yan said directly. “I believe that the lineage on the other side of the continent at the same time was probably much more prosperous than that in Uruk.”
Now that it's been confirmed that there are gods and cultivators in this world, Fang Yan is filled with doubts about history. Is it really true that our continent only has a history of five thousand years?
In Fang Yan's view, there should be more than that. He now even suspects that a powerful figure like Nuwa should still exist.
As for the primordial system, that's unlikely. If this world truly had a primordial system, it would have been in chaos long ago, and there wouldn't be a God to speak of.
It's a direct dimensional crushing victory, isn't it!
"Probably!" Artoria's lips twitched. She hadn't expected that Fang Yan, who had obtained Gilgamesh's power, seemed to disdain Gilgamesh.
(Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and auto-subscribe! Love you all!)
Chapter 378 Fang Yan Makes His Move
Artoria knew that Fang Yan's disdain for Gilgamesh's identity was not due to his disdain for Gilgamesh's strength, but rather his disdain for Gilgamesh's power. Σ(っД;)っ If this had happened to someone else, Artoria would never have believed it, after all, Gilgamesh was a super strong person, and it was said that Gilgamesh even had the blood of a god.
Gilgamesh was able to lead humanity in battles against the gods in ancient times, so he was definitely not a nobody. In some ways, Gilgamesh was even greater than King Arthur.
Even Artoria had to admit this.
The next moment, Fang Yan's appearance changed again, transforming into a boy with golden hair and wine-red eyes. This scene surprised everyone. They knew that Fang Yan could transform into other people, but this appearance seemed to make them want to beat him up.
This doesn't make sense! But it actually happened.
Does Gilgamesh look like this?
"Alright, I'm going out to do some work. Don't worry, there's no one around. Well, at least here in Sakura, no one is a match for me!" Fang Yan chuckled and said, "Some pests are about to be dealt with, but we still need to use aliases."
"The Tsuchimikado family and the Anbei family?" Yukinoshita Haruno quickly recalled Fang Yan's words from before. Now that she thought back, it seemed that Fang Yan's conversation with Director Hakuba had been a war of words.
Fang Yan had been hinting to Director Bai Ma that he was going to eliminate the Tsuchimikado and Anbei families. Initially, Director Bai Ma wanted to speak well of them, but later, even he chose to give up. It was an unspoken understanding between them.
"Let's start with the Tsuchimikado family; they're easier to deal with!" Fang Yan pondered for a moment before saying, "As for the Anbei family, we'll leave them for now; we still need them here!"
"But would they be willing? The Tsuchimikado family and the Amau family are irreconcilable enemies, but if the Tsuchimikado family were to be destroyed by the mysterious person, wouldn't the Amau family still care?" Yukinoshita couldn't help but remind her.
As Fang Yan's attendant, Yukino Yukinoshita has defined her role: not only to be Fang Yan's woman, but also to be his housekeeper and his spokesperson.
Theoretically speaking, this position should belong to Erina Nakiri, after all, she is Fang Yan's childhood friend, and the two grew up together!
