Is it the world that shapes the individual, or the individual that shapes the world? This is a conundrum without a standard answer.
In different worlds and different eras, there naturally exist different systems and standards. If one lacks the ability to counteract the times or the world, adaptation is the only proactive choice.
Deities, in different worlds, also vary greatly.
In most multiverses, It is often regarded as a part of the World Rules, a derivative of the World’s Will... After a large amount of "foreign investment" is injected, control naturally belongs to the "investor (world)".
This is a hidden danger, although in most cases it doesn’t pose much of a problem. After all, except for some unlucky worlds, the vast majority are without definite personality consciousness.
At this moment, all high-level combat power of Lu Ping’an’s group is concentrating all efforts on "transformation".
They intend to remove the remnants of the Underworld’s power and return to their normal, independent state.
If control isn’t exerted, it amounts to nothing, and now....
"In the World Apocalypse, the world also activates its survival instincts. Its actions will not only become more proactive, but also resort to desperate measures..."
Though Easterners hold a traditional belief in Heaven’s oversight, the reality Lu Ping’an frequently encounters is the frustrating "Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise".
Some world consciousnesses truly disregard humanity.
Or, after being forcibly awakened by crisis, It resorts to instinctive, ruthless survival, seeing all Life as mere Tools... Most strategy gamers, as long as they can win the game, don’t care how many of their pawns are lost.
Even if there is a nascent personality... in a short time (decades), a new batch of resources is regenerated. Is there really a need to cherish it? The world and the individual are simply not on the same level of perspective and value judgment.
Sometimes, the heavens controlling countless Lives with indifference and impartiality is the true form of "compassion and love".
"For the true Savior, it’s already decent if the World’s Will doesn’t hold them back... heh, true Wind Reversers are few, most people go with the flow, and there’s nothing wrong with that."
Lu Ping’an shook his head. Wind Reversers still have filial sons. An apocalypse of absolute doom, just like the end of the Silent Mountain Range World, is when those powerful old Divine Kings fled faster than anyone else.
Lu Ping’an respects heroes but has no intention of becoming such a predestined black-and-white framed hero himself.
In his view, rather than a crisis forcing sacrifices, it’s crucial as a decision-maker to avoid such crises from the beginning.
"First, remove the hidden dangers, or you’re likely to be forcibly recruited... remember when the earth Gods were fed the New God?"
When the World’s Will truly behaves inhumanely, everything becomes a dispensable Tool, and immortal deities with a degree of direct control authority become the front-line losers.
Now, the entire Earth Realm is in dire straits, and Lu Ping’an suspects if his demigods still carry the "divinity" and "Divine Power" of the Underworld, they might be forcibly recruited and sent out to engage Foreign Domain invaders upon exiting.
It’s not about winning or losing; it’s a doomed-to-be-a-loser ending regardless of how many battles are won beforehand.
".... The Explorer mechanism, which leans slightly official, exists because for Extraordinary individuals, having the right to choose is extremely important. The doomsday is an ever-ringing death knell; even if moral blackmail works once, it can’t work every time. Without providing enough choice and interest allocation, rebellion is inevitable, and defection would be considered mild."
Extraordinaries are destined for a "Raising Gu" like growth process, forcibly suppressing them will surely lead to problems eventually.
"Let’s set off..."
After completing the removal, the deity turned back into a "Mortal", but this time, they’ve clarified their path, and they won’t hesitate to evolve again.
What unites the forces of Lu Ping’an is perhaps the strong grasp of control over power, from being constantly exposed to it, far exceeding its strength. Only power that is held firmly in hand and controllable can be considered a true asset.
"If salvation is necessary, at least this will must originate from my personal judgment, at least that world should be worth my saving..."
Standing on this shattered world, Lu Ping’an looked up to the sky.
His eyes seemed to transcend the constraints of time and space, seeing his homeland, the troublesome Water Blue Planet that narrowly avoided destruction a short while ago.
Shaking his head, he calmed himself down again.
"Consider it a rehearsal and practice.... "
As the God of Redemption, his purity is clearly less than that of Guan Xinxian.
Inappropriately compared, Guan Xinxian is like a child rescued by lifeguards since childhood, full of aspirations for this profession, even treating it as his Life value, dedicating all his time and energy to improvement in this area.
Whereas Lu, only happened to require this "lifeguard" position.
He has the ability and hopes to gain benefits belonging to him in the process of working.
However, in terms of proficiency and competence limits in salvation, perhaps no one can match this "utilitarian"....
"I am the God of Redemption, the Watcher of Eternal Life, the Protector of Life Value, the Shepherd of innumerable Souls...."
Once again proclaiming his existence to the world, but more so informing the still-struggling mortals of his presence.
The power of this proclamation is the most valuable aspect of this Divine Position.
At the source of the voice, there may exist a Land of Redemption and a Savior.... At least, Lu Ping’an has provided hope to mortals still striving to survive.
And in this doomsday, that hope is extremely precious.
"Submit regular reports if possible, plant a bit more... never mind, I’m not forcing it."
However, unlike the previous convenient "tree planting" endeavor, this time Lu Ping’an came too hurriedly, and many things could not be prepared in time.
Planting the Lamp Tree" is not a one-time action; it requires the growth of the earth’s veins, and its ability also needs to absorb the power of the surrounding Domain to construct a small "Divine Kingdom".
Currently, the world is fractured into pieces, and most of the earth’s veins are severed. Even if some power remains in the earth’s veins, it will be directed by the World’s Will to resist enemies, making Lu Ping’an’s tree planting almost impossible to survive.
"At a time like this, I hope for a high-level Dancer..."
The most advanced Dancer excels in resonating with nature, which can, to some extent, borrow and direct the world’s power.
If there were a high-level Dancer, Lu Ping’an could channel the power of the earth’s veins to plant trees, or more directly, communicate with the World’s Will to request more "authority".
"... I have similar powers, can I try? I’ve already purchased the knowledge and Profession of a high-level Dancer."
At this point, a new demigod stepped forward.
Lu Ping’an then realized that perhaps his greatest gain, the sudden surge of eleven "demigods (Ancient Gods)", is this world’s greatest asset.
Ten or more "Divine Kingdoms" each with complete forces and unique authority, this might be the new foundation for Lu Ping’an’s power.
