Chapter 1776 The Pious
Majila never thought that she, who was suffering in hell yesterday, would be able to return to her normal life.
Go to school? What is that?
Of course I knew it was a place to learn knowledge, and I was a good student. I just didn't expect that there would be a day when I could sit in a spacious classroom to study.
“I want to drop out of school.”
But in less than three days, the excitement had just faded away, and after repeated consideration, amid the sighs of the outsider teacher, Majila chose to leave.
“I can’t use what I learned here, whether it’s cultural history or industrial knowledge, I can’t find a place to apply it.”
Don't talk to him about the future, he doesn't think he can live past three years, let alone the reconstruction of this area.
Even if there is a new island or a new country, what does it have to do with him? The people who really hurt him are his former countrymen and people.
Mortals who have had enough of the chaos and suffering of the world only desire the power to protect themselves.
Study hard and work as a civil servant in civilized society? In such a region and era, staying in a safe zone for several years or even more than ten years and enjoying the support of others is too extravagant and unrealistic.
“I also have a mother and a sister.”
His mother was ill and his sister was chronically malnourished. They all needed him to take care of them. Even if the outsiders were kind enough to waive his tuition, would they really stay forever? Even charity had its funding limit. When they left, his family would fall into hell again and it would be even more miserable.
".If possible, I hope to join you and become as powerful as you."
Majila had seen these young men in red and white uniforms, who were only a few years older than herself.
Not to mention ignoring bullets, those armed jeeps and modified armors are like toys in their hands.
“We are not hiring”
In Lu Ping'an's plan, there was no problem in using some local workers in the safe zone, but he did not plan to recruit core personnel here.
Considering many historical reasons, hiring people randomly can easily become hidden dangers and bombs.
Since we can recruit people from the East Country, especially the ancient city, there is really no need to recruit locals. If they are from foreign countries, there are still some racial advantages, but here there are only unstable factors.
"Life is valuable. Everyone's life is his own currency. He can choose where to use this currency, for himself or for others. As long as it is his own choice, it is the sacred self-will."
The young man suddenly said something that startled the members of the Life Preservation Corps.
This comes from the scriptures, but has different understandings.
And if that were the only thing, the two members wouldn't care. Part of the content of the holy book has been made public and can be consulted at any time.
".Life preservation."
The light blooming on the hands of this young man is particularly attractive.
[Life preservation (lower-level divine grace in bold): sacrifice one’s own life to allow another life to continue.]
This ability is considered an extremely rare "altruistic" ability, but it is very practical. It can prevent the injuries of the injured from worsening, save the lives of the seriously injured, and even treat diseases and malnutrition to a certain extent.
This is a God-given ability that reflects the essence of the Life Preservation Corps, but Lu Ping'an does not have complete control over it. As a "god", the courtyard will only grant divine grace to those who are closest to God.
In other words, the child in front of him not only understood the holy scriptures in a short period of time, but also spent his life points to transform himself into a devout believer of this path, and finally succeeded in resonating with the will of the gods and was granted divine grace.
".I'll go ask."
Although members may say they are unsure, they do not actually feel they will be rejected, and in a sense, they are already new members of their church.
The reality is that most church members cannot make rapid progress in one path and at the same time be devout enough to receive divine grace.
"real or fake?"
Even the "God" himself was somewhat surprised to hear the news.
The courtyard has assumed the duties of the gods and has begun to operate under new rules on its own. The appearance of believers is not surprising, but the appearance of devout or even fanatical believers who can obtain unconventional divine grace is obviously a bit amiss.
If he was a member of the team, Lu Ping'an could still understand it, but he was an outsider.
"I thought my teachings were twisted, tangled, and difficult to understand, spread, and comprehend."
The deity himself made outrageous remarks that made his followers look at each other in astonishment, not knowing how to respond.
"You know you're awkward."
Big Leo, says what others dare not say.
Lu Ping'an's "doctrine" is not easy to spread. It does not directly declare the goodness of human nature, and even directly eliminates subjective human nature. Not to mention that it does not answer the classic question of whether human nature is good or evil, it does not even mention the ability in this regard.
Rather than a normal religion that encourages people to be good, it is more like a cold "life economics" theory.
"I just think that good and evil, morality, etc., cannot be restricted by religion. It is up to the individual to decide. Instead of writing it into the scriptures and forcing people to be good, it is better to talk about 'interests'. If you protect the right to life of others, others will protect yours. If the total number of lives increases, it will benefit everyone."
Lu Ping'an also knew that he was awkward, but the teachings and scriptures of the gods were not only his will, but could even be said to be his existence itself, which could not be distorted or lied to.
It’s not that Lu Ping’an doesn’t understand human nature; on the contrary, he understands it too well.
He believed in the goodness of human nature, but also believed in the evil of human nature. The more he understood it, the less he felt that human nature could be tested or indulged.
So, let’s not talk about the good and evil of pure human nature, or about persuading people to be good.
Let’s talk directly about the benefits, the win-win situation brought by transactions, the stable income brought by more trading partners, the overall progress brought by the evolution of countless individuals, and then feed back to the interests of the individuals.
“All spirits” is the essence of Lu Ping’an, but how he interprets it is up to him.
This is not reality? As a god, he is creating this reality.
He is creating a system where "goodness" is rewarded, and therefore he advocates goodness.
Evil? Now Lu Ping'an can only define and fight against it, but in his ideal environment, evil will be of no benefit and may even boomerang, so that evil can be naturally suppressed on a large scale. Lu Ping'an is both naive and mature in this regard, contradictory to the point of distortion. No wonder he himself thinks he is awkward.
"God" is a great being that can rewrite the world into its ideal state. In this regard, Lu Ping'an may have to take this step.
He does not believe in people's active choices, because many evils and good are really caused by the environment. If one wants to promote good, the prerequisite is to allow it to have the soil and environment to germinate.
And that Majila, seeing the "great love" under the cold doctrine, he understood it himself.
"Let him have a try. Give him the standard equipment for the group members and let him participate in our mission. By the way, aren't there any warlords who are clamoring against us? Go and hang them on the street lamps."
