That night was extremely long, as if something had happened, yet it seemed as though nothing had happened.
But something had quietly changed.
At the very least, the smile on the young man’s lips grew a bit broader and distinctly more genuine.
Perhaps some would not believe it if it were said, but Lu Ping’an was actually a man rich in emotion and sincere towards others... Of course, qualifying as a "person" in his eyes was quite difficult.
𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
In any world, the terminal illness that nearly killed him affected not only his body, but also his social relationships and the so-called "partners" he once trusted, shattering his spirit and fractured values altogether.
It was his parents who had brought the kite string back... Such a man actually valued family considerably, or perhaps, only valued family.
He had no barriers to starting a family, just that it would be better during a relatively safe environment and time...
"Now, let’s just leave it at that, as long as there are no accidents, everyone’s lifespan isn’t short."
It is worth mentioning that Lu Ping’an’s courtyard was fairly average in effecting Quasi-Gods, but still provided considerable benefits to seventh and eighth order professionals.
From the results, those of Rule-level in our party had also seen significant improvement during this period.
Of course, there wasn’t a single eighth-tier... The closest would probably be Fei’er, whose progress might even be ahead of Lu Ping’an’s, but her overly young body hindered her progress.
During this time, the biggest change for Lu Ping’an and Rebirth Commerce was, after all, expected...
"He... It has finally taken that step."
If Lu Ping’an had any complaints about the birthday banquet, it was that one of his few male companions, ’I’, was forcibly absent due to certain reasons.
After many conditions were met, he finally embarked on his own path of Ascension.
By now, his Divine Body should be housed within the "Ark," wandering in a certain region of this world.
"...The first batch of ’Traders’ has successfully returned to their bodies, we have succeeded."
And Guan Xinxian, who had become a Demigod, was also able to intervene in some major matters.
As a Holy Item of the God of Redemption, in the core area of the New Kingdom, the density of Lamp Trees, Water Lantern Grass, and Lamp Flowers was already considerable, forming a network ready to begin trial operation.
[At the brightest moment of the moon, pray towards the Lamp Tree, and offer sacrificial offerings.]
[’Lord of Redemption, I yearn to save myself, and hope to possess the power to protect myself, please grant me a chance to trade,’ such prayer phrases are sufficient.]
[If there is no effect, it might be due to insufficient sincerity, please conduct this ritual repeatedly, if there is still no effect after seven days... the signal in your area might be poor, you are advised to change locations.]
[If the prayer falls into a coma or loses consciousness... Don’t worry, and don’t cremate the body; it’s a normal phenomenon.]
[PS. The sacrificial offering only needs to consist of three meals a day, the God of Redemption is not greedy.]
[PS2. Brawls resulting from ’resuscitated dead’ due to grave dancing are not related to our Church or Chamber of Commerce.]
The content of the new ritual is now widespread, and according to the common sense of this world, most people would not try it... but if the promulgators are officials of the New Kingdom, even endorsed by the Rebirth Commerce, then it’s a different matter.
Even so, those who successfully conducted the ritual were still few.
This wasn’t due to poor dissemination or possibly poor signal, it is merely that the several gathering areas nearby all had a large number of potential traders.
"The courtyard’s carrying capacity has reached its limit..."
It seems there truly isn’t much that can be done about this.
This isn’t a physical limit, but the capacity of souls that the "Land of Rules" could bear.
Unlike the original version of the ritual, entering the courtyard to trade was not the original body but the spirit body trader state created in the Reception Room previously.
After all, the cost of "space transfer" was just too high, and it became feasible for Lu Ping’an to host thousands of spirit visitors simultaneously only after he spent a substantial sum to upgrade the Reception Room, allowing the transfer through each Lamp Tree.
And by completing the transformation of their spirit bodies here, they could also influence the transformation of their own physical bodies after returning.
This proved on one level that, in this multi-universe, the soul and body have no fundamental difference; they depend on each other, influence each other, and can even convert into each other.
Lu Ping’an’s experiment wasn’t considered successful, since the production speed and range of professionals were still far below expectations even though the trial operation had begun; it still required a lot of "tree planting" to connect the suburbs to the signal.
But this was enough to make Lu Ping’an and Rebirth Commerce hotshots in the New Kingdom.
It was also because of the legend of the Land of Redemption that Guan Xinxian, who had not yet truly become a God, not only joined the ranks of the seventeen Guardian Gods but was also ranked in the top five.
Yes, seventeen—after several months of tug of war and bargaining, the committee of Gods of the new world was set up.
Even Lu Ping’an hadn’t expected it to eventually add up to seventeen... including fourteen True Gods, two suspected Powerful Quasi-Gods, and Guan Xinxian, the "mixer."
In the grand scheme of things, this was clearly a good thing, a very good thing.
Due to the fall of the previous World Consciousness, this world had also experienced large-scale Godfalls, and the most direct effect on mortals was the loss of much-needed Divine Grace for frontline warriors.
This time, organized and communicative joint action, forming a new system of Gods, was much better than a disorganized mess, at least in terms of avoiding some unnecessary competition... Although there were still many instances where the Divine Grace provided by the two War Gods was overly redundant.
This was actually a problem of the Saphire War God, who leveraged its individual capability advantage; whenever the first Ascension granted any Divine Grace, it would immediately offer something better, engaging in unfair competition.
And reality was even more ruthless, even though everyone knew this was likely pointless infighting, no one intervened... Too many were covetous of the "War" domain, wishing they would immediately fight to the death.
But on the other hand, the new system indeed demonstrated its vitality.
The Gods were more involved with the Mortal World and the frontline, displaying Miracles... wasn’t this also to curry favor with the citizens of the New Kingdom.
Before, the paths of Lu Ping’an and Lulu weren’t wrong, the establishment of the New Kingdom was extremely necessary, even if only planting a flag made the previously indifferent Gods not only pay more attention to the front lines but also sparked a new round of intense internal competition...
"The Church of the God of Justice is willing to join the battle at the frontline? They even have a Divine Envoy appearing?"
When the national flag was raised, history Turned a new page, and the mythologies, whether integrating with this new era or returning to the history of mortals.
