The Earth Realm, or the native land in the minds of most people within the Evolution World, has long been entirely transformed into Purgatory.
The life here is ignorant and simple, yearning for heroes yet willing to be ordinary... This is a hero’s seed, also the most primitive "protagonist" model.
The character of intelligent creatures is often decided in their initial dozen or even few years, and the saying that character determines fate carries some truth.
Childhood is precious to a lifeform, often the origin of a soul’s character and traits.
Simplicity, sincerity, goodwill, hero admiration, fearless challenges, resilience, unafraid of death... The more Lu Ping’an interacts with the residents of the Earth Realm, the more he feels anger.
"Human virtues should not be used to mass-produce quality losers."
This feeling is akin to giving Fake Men a mask, using brainwashed "kindness and simplicity," transforming them into mindless charging "bravery."
It’s the same hymn of virtues, yet it feels as uncomfortable as Fake Men holding a meeting.
The fabricated "childhood" like Truman’s World further reminds Lu Ping’an of cattle and sheep on a ranch.
"...In the end, quality resources and souls, life, are all cheapened for outsiders."
As the Guardian of Life Value, Lu Ping’an can feel the life in this world still vanishing at high speed.
It seems everywhere is a hunting ground, and the battlefield has no possibility of ever stopping...
"Without the nourishment of civilization, these lives’ upper limit is actually decreased...."
The Underworld is the clearest proof, as warriors they are clearly qualified, but higher beings encompass more than pure combat power.
Lu Ping’an can overwhelm this world’s God of Life, for its "Life" concept remains at the level of planting trees and nurturing grass.
More complex societal forms have more developed "Order" and "rules," and these concept powers from the Order side can restrain "Contamination" to become higher beings... Even if not at that level, Earth’s diverse Racial Ability, Career Ability, are far more vibrant than this world’s simple-minded giants, with clearly higher limits.
Purity, in the supernatural concepts arising from contamination codes, is not a good thing.
"Souls that are overly pure, are instead more susceptible to deception, to pollution...."
Lu Ping’an has noticed the emergence of "wounds" in the Earth Realm.
The vortices on the ocean, carrying black tides and storms, spit out Fishmen and Sea Monsters.
In the desert region, many cracks in the ground are crawling out various Insect Swarms.
There are many similar special areas; it’s somewhat similar to the "exoticization" of Earth, only this time it’s been completely turned into an Exotic Realm, even copying the opponent’s "troop production points."
And what makes Lu Ping’an a bit helpless is that those Fishmen and Insects often have some "Beastmen traits."
"This world’s natural cycle has been broken, souls can no longer smoothly enter the Underworld... the intercepted life directly transforms into hybrid Foreign Domain invaders."
The newcomers have new troops, naturally killing more happily, and this is just natural death.
Lu Ping’an just saw some outsiders directly throwing local Beastmen into those Exotic Realm Zones, allowing them to transform... or transform after death.
The basic rules of the world have already been plundered and rewritten, this is the omen of the complete loss of control in this world.
And those Exotic Realm Zones will also become eroded wound points, bit by bit stealing the world’s land, along with its life, souls, resources...
"Isn’t this like what you’re doing now meow?"
With keen intuition, Meow tilted its head, stating the truth.
Lu Ping’an’s Silver Fortress is indeed another form of "exoticization," eroding and merging the world’s fragments, transforming them into part of itself.
"Ah, but this is completely different, they are invaders, and although I am an outsider, not recognized by the world, but I... Can a fair and equal matter be called an invasion?"
"I can grant the locals a happy life, can those outsiders?"
Quite naturally, the air tinged with a sense of joy.
Faced with Lu Ping’an’s "defensive arguments," Meow tilted its head again and smiled.
"Oh yes, yes."
And thus, Meow enjoyed the usual face rub service.
Putting down the now soft and crumpled Meow, Lu Ping’an focused his attention outward.
The newly joined batch of Demigods has already set off; their task is quite simple, which is to "save" as many lives as possible.

Considering the upper limit issue of this world’s strength, these slightly overpowered ones shouldn’t fail midway, but whether they can complete this mission, and what means to employ, are what Lu Ping’an needs to consider.
The developments soon went as expected....
"As expected, the fight has started..."
These Demigods all came from the Underworld, their behavior also embodies the simplicity and bluntness of the Lower Realm: since you outsiders can plunder population, we can too.
Rather than struggling and being questioned through a "disaster rescue," it’s better to employ direct coercion with swords and guns.
Several Demigods even attacked the towns still holding out, forcibly relocating the residents... though Lu Ping’an knew they were saving lives, yet such methods were indeed too extreme.
"But didn’t you not stop them? Isn’t that a recognition?"
"Though it’s rough, doing this is indeed efficient..."
Lu Ping’an sighed, in the current environment, efficiency is a necessity, because time is overly limited.
