"We are becoming history, or rather, myth...."
When involved in nation-building, Lu Ping’an vaguely felt this. He could even sense that the term "Mentor" was becoming a "high-dimensional point" of existence.
Especially since this time, the founding of the country was not normal... It had no leader.
Generally speaking, such ethnic awakenings and the establishment of a new state are historically inevitable, but the importance of "historical figures" cannot be denied.
The Salvation Army had dozens of branches, too many representative figures at the same time, which also meant there was no real representative... The Grand Marshal was a relatively large branch, but it certainly wasn’t a one-man show, let alone a unified leader.
Without the existence of an imposing figure sent by heaven, the so-called new country was destined to be a loose sand. From the results, Lu Ping’an, the illusory "Mentor," had instead become the focus of faith.
After all, those lacking a sense of security and trust would somewhat hope for some protection. If the nation lacked representative figures, it would naturally turn to the proponents of thought, at least the "Mentor Theory" was always with them, guiding them.
Lu Ping’an himself had not expected that his initial nonsense would have such an impact. After all, it was a mishmash of modern Eastern Country thoughts and his own mix, but the problem...
"The problem never lies in whether it’s right or if it can be perfect. The key is actually to appear at the right time, in the right place."
When the entire world lacks a guiding ideology, when everyone is looking for a way out, even a wrong path will attract fanatic believers, not to mention the Mentor Theory, which isn’t brilliant, but actually has been verified by another world as a "development theory."
If the vague Mentor Theory really changes the world, then the beliefs that "There has never been a savior, only self-rescue can save oneself," "Intelligent creatures have no fundamental differences, uniting everyone as much as possible is the key to victory," those vague doctrines of self-strength, humanism, and inclusiveness, are indeed the most needed in this multi-racial, multi-cultural world.
It can be said that if Lu Ping’an truly wanted to achieve Ascension, merely producing evidence that he was a Mentor would make everything substantially easier... This is also why many native big shots in the homeland were so wary of Lu Ping’an.
"Now is the historical turning point, many of us are destined to become historical figures..."
The Twelve Marshals of the Founding, Four Pillar States, the Twenty-Four Founding Lords, even those of originally ordinary talent would naturally become historical figures or even characters in mythical stories.
"If the path of salvation can achieve the status of a Deity, what a powerful existence that would be..."
If this were about Mercury 42, it would probably just have evolved from primitive tribes, slavery to feudalism, capitalism, while history was gradually pushed forward, mythological history was also advancing synchronously.
After all, this world not only truly has Deities, but Deities are also destined to be the main units in war.
Then, if an individual really occupies a place in history, in myth, what does he gain...
"Everything? Eternity? Mere power? Or just a vain name..."
Lu Ping’an had not understood these before, but his Eye of Truth had explored the true nature of the world, understanding that the so-called "existence" is actually an interference that is perceived and perceiving; he would not underestimate the power of so-called "faith".
"You want me to compile a part of the mythological history, saying that the evil gods of the Exotic Realm brought forth evil Magical Beasts, and the heroes, wielding Divine Artifacts, hunted them down? Does that make any sense?"
"Right now, perhaps not, but later it might."
Lu Ping’an was thinking, strategizing, analyzing... He somewhat understood what Lin Nu’s old folks were up to; they were all planning long-term.
"On one hand, as the legend spreads wider, those ’Divine Artifacts’ names will become widely known, just like my ’naming’ ability, the world’s naming will bestow unto them the highest grade of consciousness enhancement..."
This was just one aspect. Lu Ping’an already had the ability to name. If he could make these Divine Artifacts part of history, akin to Holy Relics... perhaps, there really would be the emergence of an Upper Gold existence.
"Quasi-God level and abilities ahead are two different things, quantitative change cannot become qualitative change, these are truly akin to gods."
This was a trial, but however one looked at it, it seemed like a kind that wouldn’t suffer.
Furthermore, this was also the biggest investment Lu Ping’an was making in this world...
"Make sure to include this portion of content. The world’s Guardian God, from the Eastern Country, the God of Redemption, bestowed Divine Artifacts to the heroes. It was his kindness that allowed the saviors to embark on their own paths..."
"Hunting Divine Beasts to ’save’ the world is a fact, but how it is described is up to Mortals themselves."
"Deities need miracles, myths need hero stories, the Church needs saints and holy spirits, Mortals need saviors to bear the world ... The Church of the God of Redemption needs more miracles."
"If there is no history, create history; if there are no myths, write them yourself."
"The arrogant words become reality, and in this historic opportunity, Lu Ping’an tried to write himself and the ’saviors’ into the main history of this world."
"Mentors do not exist; they are merely an embodiment of the experiences and stories of countless strugglers and martyrs..."
Renouncing the mentor was necessary, replacing an individual person with a ’spiritual totem,’ a symbolic sign, neither worrying about the idol shattering nor being too aggressive."
"This world has seen many disasters, but the Mortals upon it have never stopped resisting. Don’t expect a savior, only those who try to save themselves and others can be saved by others, by their Gods..."
Lu Ping’an pondered as he wrote the Holy Scripture of the God of Redemption, which was also writing the history of this world.
The first Divine Position was defined, and it was not simply ’redemption’ nor ’war or resistance.’
The God of Redemption has never been omnipotent; instead of saving by hand, His greater power lies in encouraging you to exhaust all means to save yourself.
"The will to resist oneself is the shackle that breaks all bonds..."
When "Pope" Lu Ping’an determined the first content of the Holy Scripture, "Quasi-God" Guan Xinxian also began his own journey of evolution.
Unlike the ascension of other Quasi-Gods who brought out their "rules" hoping to be promoted to the World’s Rule... this was akin to the imperial examination, staking all their conceptual writings, hoping to gain the "emperor’s" favor and achieve their world-saving path.
For Guan Xinxian, he had already been directly nominated by the emperor, just waiting for his "memorial to the throne" to be enacted.
"Life forms, all have the right and obligation to struggle for themselves..."
Still not a Quasi-God, he could only write this sentence.
But that was enough.
Would warriors gain more courage? Not so easily.
But the first to be affected were the "Awakened Insect Race" and the "Free Fish People."
Their originally chaotic intelligence became clearer, "the call of the homeland" did not disappear, but could now be resisted by their will.
The World’s Rule of "Struggle" was written into the foundational template of this world, becoming the basic right and obligation of all life forms... the latter being more important.
"That means all life forms have the obligation to achieve autonomy, and enslavement is unacceptable..."
The existence of this "World’s Rule" currently only influences those Exotic Realm People striving to break free.
But Lu Ping’an was still writing...
"The Long Hand Clan obtaining freedom from slavery, food is a struggle; the Exotic Realm People of this world obtaining freedom is a struggle; facing the Exotic Realm Invaders, our own resistance is still a struggle..."
Guan Xinxian has not yet ascended to Godhood, but Lu Ping’an was already writing the scriptures of his Church...
"The God of Struggle encourages the resistance of Mortals, grants heroes with Divine Artifacts, to kill the followers of Evil Gods..."
Compiled rumors turned into the real history, the Divine Position of "Struggle" gradually being embedded into the "history" of this world, and the existence of the God of Redemption gradually being observed by the world.
"If one is to become the Guardian God of this kingdom, this world, then naturally one must integrate with the history of this world..."
