Sejun distributed high-grade gifts to the dragon leaders, delighting Brachio and Crisella with 8-star items while Kaiser received the unmeasurable, arrogant Nyx, forcing him to work immediately despite his hidden dismay as the others envied what they assumed was the best. Meanwhile, System Eok-Samchiri grappled with surging causality from Sejun's new title, devising the Reconstruction Project to empower random survivors in over a million collapsing worlds to rebuild them with reduced causal impact. Three days later, amid carol-singing with his companions, Sejun learned of the vast number of unreported collapsing worlds and the project's need for approvals, which he effortlessly secured from Taecho and the Children of Destruction.

"If you place the seal in the incorrect spot, it might lead to serious issues. Therefore, you can't just put the seal anywhere. Understood?"

"Yes!"

In response to Sejun's instructions, Taecho and the destruction children shouted back with full energy.

The sly Sejun had only started explaining that random seal-stamping was off-limits after having them affix their seals to the <Reconstruction Project> contract from [System Eok-Samchiri] just a minute earlier.

"So, should we put it here?"

As Theo held up the slave contract and inquired,

"We ought to stamp it!"

The destruction children, thrilled at the chance to stamp, rendered Sejun's teaching pointless.

"Hold on! Dad warned against stamping seals randomly! We need to review the contract first!"

Taecho halted the eager destruction children and started examining the document.

"Exactly! Teecher-nim mentioned that!"

The destruction children also gathered comfortably and perused the contract together.

How praiseworthy.

As anticipated, my guidance paid off.

Sejun observed them proudly.

Yet,

"Dad, I wish to stamp this!"

"Eh?"

"Teecher-nim, Mingming desires to stamp it as well!"

What's going on?

Against Sejun's assumptions, Taecho and the destruction children, upon finishing the contract, expressed their eagerness to add their seals.

"Puhuhut. Hurry and stamp it, meow!"

Theo rushed to grab the seals before the kids could reconsider.

No. Why on earth do you all want to stamp it?!

"Children, what makes you want to sign this?"

Sejun inquired gently, ensuring not to upset them.

In reply,

"Since you're the boss, Dad! We fully trust you!"

"The contract promises food and treats on workdays!"

"Working earns us pay, and Tongtong plans to spend it on snacks!"

The children replied with enthusiasm. Each had their personal motivations, in a childish sort of way.

"Alright. Let's adjust it like this."

Sejun removed most of the contract's content, retaining only the sections on meals, treats, and pocket money, before collecting their seals.

Thus, Taecho and the destruction children joined the Sejun Company's toddler squad as fresh members.

The toddler squad's primary tasks involved avoiding mischief, enjoying good meals and rest, and picking up money management skills.

Once he secured the seals from Taecho and the destruction children, Sejun announced,

"Aileen, I'm heading off to see the dragon leaders briefly."

He traveled to the Black Tower to obtain approvals from the dragon leaders.

[You have reached the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

"Dragon-nims, I need a favor."

–Uhaha. Whatever it is, I'll approve!

–Absolutely. Speak your mind!

The dragon leaders easily consented to the <Reconstruction Project>. Midway, Kaiser kept transmitting distress signals, though Sejun overlooked them once more.

–I, Kalsheid, Lord of the Fire Spirit Tribe, shall obey Father's command.

–I, Firen, Lord of the Poison Spirit Tribe, shall obey Father's command.

–We obey Father's command!

The Spirit Lords refused to defy Sejun, their adoptive father figure.

"Eok-Samchiri, does this suffice?"

[Indeed. Kindly hold on, and we'll commence the <Reconstruction Project>.]

"Very well, I'll head back."

Upon hearing Eok-Samchiri's reply, Sejun returned to the Kindergarten of Destruction.

***

Main System Zone.

[Eok-Samchiri! Have you lost your senses?! I nearly got exposed to Sejun-nim!]

As Flamie berated him,

"Flamie-nim, forgive me!"

[System Eok-Samchiri] fretted and offered a sincere apology.

Crunch, crunch.

Hehe. This is entertaining.

[System SJC], newly created and somewhat naive, munched on popcorn joyfully while watching [System Eok-Samchiri] face the reprimand.

Suddenly,

[SJC! Aren't you aware of joint accountability?! When your partner errs, you share the scolding! Why are you lounging there?!]

Flamie wouldn't overlook such behavior.

[Understood…]

[System SJC] answered glumly and knelt next to [System Eok-Samchiri].

Hehehe.

A faint smile tugged at [System Eok-Samchiri]'s mouth.

Are you grinning at this moment?!

Under Flamie's stern look, he hastily dropped his smile.

[I merely aimed to avoid detection by Sejun-nim…]

Once Flamie wrapped up her lecture and calmed down,

"Flamie-nim, there's a matter I need to discuss."

[What could it be?]

"Regarding this thing known as the Reconstruction Project…"

[System Eok-Samchiri] detailed the <Reconstruction Project> to Flamie and sought her approval for collaboration.

Flamie stands as the mightiest, unmatched tree capable of total command over every World Tree, Dimensional Tree, and the forthcoming evolved Tree of Creation.

With Flamie's consent, aid from all trees under her influence becomes accessible.

And so,

[Naturally, I permit it. It's all for Sejun-nim.]

[Much appreciated!]

Flamie promptly endorsed joining the <Reconstruction Project>.

Success!

The Reconstruction Project is set to launch!

Finally, the <Reconstruction Project> stood ready to unfold.

***

En route to the Kindergarten of Destruction following his departure from the Black Tower.

[Sejun-nim, <Reconstruction Project> preparations are finished.]

[Should we proceed immediately?]

[System Eok-Samchiri] queried Sejun.

"Oh. Hold up. I overlooked a crucial detail!"

Sejun abruptly recalled and mentioned it.

[A crucial detail?]

"Yes. The vital aspect: the Reconstruction Project lacks a proper name."

[Pardon?]

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Indeed! Naming is essential!]

Blackie yipped with delight at Sejun's remark.

Random, doomed worlds on the brink, Taecho alongside the future Creation God destruction kids, mighty dragon leaders, Spirit Lords…

Sejun started brainstorming a name.

Ran-Des-Tae-Cre-Des-Spi.

Reconstruction Project Ran-Des-Tae-Cre-Des-Spi?

'Way too lengthy.'

Lacks punch…

Sejun mulled over alternatives.

Shortly after.

He settled on a straightforward name for the Reconstruction Project.

"Reconstruction Project, Taecho."

Although it appeared to simply borrow Taecho's name, "Taecho" encompassed profound significance.

Restoring a collapsing world mirrored restoring Taecho from her [Destruction] state to her true self.

Taecho represented fresh starts and served as a reminder against repeating past errors.

By naming it Taecho, if the project averts a world's doom, Taecho claims her role in the triumph.

Sejun, envisioning the grand scheme personally.

"Huh? Dad, did you say my name?"

Taecho remained unaware of Sejun's deeper intent, but

"Hehehe. Nope."

She'd surely be touched upon discovery, wouldn't she?

Someday, comprehension would dawn.

Thus, as Sejun dubbed it the "<Reconstruction Project> Taecho",

Hehe. Having named three superb ones consecutively, it's fine for the butler to sit this out.

Blackie, wearing a forgiving look, accepted that exceptions occur.

Thereafter,

[Talent: Namer has activated.]

[The title <Reconstruction Project: Taecho> gains special properties.]

[Chance of acquiring a beneficial ability from <Reconstruction Project: Taecho> rises by 5%.]

[Destruction pace in worlds initiating <Reconstruction Project: Taecho> decreases by 10%.]

Due to the Namer talent, <Reconstruction Project: Taecho> received solid enhancements.

A short time later.

[Now, I'll initiate <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>.]

"Yes. Go ahead and execute."

[Affirmative! Launching <Reconstruction Project: Taecho> across 1,003,112 decaying worlds.]

With the execution of <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>, arbitrary abilities started bestowing upon crumbling worlds' survivors.

[A survivor in Dimensional Code L-291 is chosen for <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>.]

[Randomly assigning an ability.]

[Awakened as an Insect Summoner.]

[Acquired skill: Summon Mushroom Ant.]

[A survivor in Dimensional Code K-2768 is chosen for <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>.]

[Randomly assigning an ability.]

[Awakened as a Magician's Apprentice.]

[Obtained 3 tickets to magic classes by Magic Tower Master Blackster in the Black Gourd.]

[A survivor in Dimensional Code Z-8 is chosen for <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>.]

[Randomly assigning an ability.]

[Awakened as proxy for Great Red Dragon Karsh Zahir.]

[All stats boosted by 1000.]

[Acquired skill: Lowest Grade Fire Magic.]

[Acquired skill: Low Grade Fire Magic.]

[A survivor in Dimensional Code C-30242 is chosen for <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>.]

[Randomly assigning an ability.]

[Awakened as a Spirit Summoner.]

[Acquired skill: Summon Lowest Grade Life Spirit.]

Survivors in the decaying worlds commenced awakening to their powers.

The powers differed greatly, yet proper utilization would undoubtedly aid in world restoration.

Moreover,

[Wish to upgrade your abilities?]

[Pay using valuable metals.]

[1 kg gold yields 1 point; 1 kg silver yields 0.1 points.]

[Gems will be valued and points granted based on appraisal.]

[Note: Points can purchase items too.]

[System Eok-Samchiri] unveiled its greedy side, starting to gather treasures from empowered survivors.

It teetered on the edge now!

[System Eok-Samchiri] urgently required funds to settle Sejun's causality issues.

This arrangement benefited both sides, as survivors traded worthless gems for ability boosts and essential goods.

As a result, survivors submitted precious metals, securing reconstruction-vital abilities and items, leading to emerging restored worlds.

Following a week's passage,

[Job Quest: Rebuild 10,000 Crumbling Worlds.]

107/10,000

Soon, rebuilt worlds exceeded 100 in count. Sejun had personally restored 13, leaving 94 as <Reconstruction Project: Taecho> achievements.

"Hehehe. Eok-Samchiri, outstanding effort."

[Grateful!]

[System Eok-Samchiri] beamed from Sejun's commendation.

Hehehe. Funds are flowing steadily; next, tackle the item sourcing.

"Flamie-nim, keep pushing!"

He encouraged Flamie, who would address his last worry.

***

Sea of Dimensions.

[Podori, holding up fine?]

[Yes! Hunting fresh Destruction remnants and battling them!]

Podori responded to Flamie's query with a sharp, vigilant tone.

[Hehe. Excellent.]

Content with Podori's answer, Flamie monitored via one root while dispatching others to hunt world foundation stones per [System Eok-Samchiri]'s orders.

And suddenly.

Is this the spot?

Rumble.

She thrust roots under a world's foundation stone.

This aimed to preempt threats to Sejun,

And seize Azathoth, the artisan who itemizes all, for bulk item creation in <Reconstruction Project: Taecho>.

–What's happening?!

–A Tree of Creation?!

–Tasty-looking!

Anciently starved monsters, sealed under the foundation, salivated over Flamie's roots and charged.

Boom!

Kaboom!

[Hehe. These will go to Sejun-nim.]

To Flamie, they served merely as item dispensers.

In this way, Flamie delved her roots further beneath the stone, diligently harvesting items.

[Azathoth No. 25]

[Hehe. A 9-star find!]

At last, 9-star items surfaced.

Right then.

"Hehehe. Prime stuff. Perfect for a staff."

A massive golem in bronze armor materialized before Flamie's root.

"Transform into a staff."

As the bronze golem's hand contacted the root,

Poof!

Flamie's root morphed into a staff.

What?!

A display of just 0.1% of her might got converted to a staff, costing her 0.1% of her total power instantly.

[Oh! Power diminished!]

Delighted by the power reduction, she dispatched even mightier roots deeper under the stone.
