Chapter 1981: Chapter 1975 The Evil Wolf

If we are going to do it, we must do it to the extreme… Although it sounds impressive, Lu Ping’an is thinking more realistically.

“We only have one chance to try… Most reform opportunities only come once, and if we don’t see results, we will quickly become enemies of the people and be kicked to the corner.”

The reality is that others will only give you one chance.

Excuses? Reasons? They don’t exist. Failure is failure. Taking the wrong path is failure; slow progress is also failure.

Countless pairs of eyes are watching you. As soon as you show any weakness, they will try everything to pull you down… Resistance doesn’t increase gradually; it’s full force once weakness is shown. To succeed, you must win your initial battle.

Since it can only be done once, Lu Ping’an naturally wants to push to the limit, starting from the framework, providing a reference for those who come after.

In the end, even if he fails, if there’s a future reformer, they will begin with Lu Ping’an’s failure…

[The evolution of life. Education and growth are gestating…]

And Lu Ping’an’s efforts unexpectedly received feedback in a strange direction.

“Uh, isn’t it only through the ritual of Ascension that one can obtain a Divine Position?”

“That’s a shortcut; what you’re doing is the Main Road… You are using the Divine Position of the God of Life to complete the evolution of life in the educational field. You might even gain a God of Education position or something like that.”

After confirmation from Big Cat, Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief… and then decided to seal the information as much as possible before completing it.

After all, there are deities related to this in the world, and Lu Ping’an doesn’t want to unknowingly start a Divine War with the “God of Scholarship” or “God of Graduate Studies.”

But from another angle, this Divine Position seems to link him to the power of the “Scholar” domain.

Understanding life, explaining life, constructing life, as the God of Eternal Life, the more Lu Ping’an elaborates on the concept of “life,” the stronger he becomes… and this seems to be the source of his conflict with Lin Nu.

“Seal the news, at least temporarily. I have no desire to be backstabbed by the deities of the Scholar series while entangled with Lin Nu…”

This Divine Position vaguely links “education” and “life evolution,” clearly a new exposition of the World’s Reason.

In Lu Ping’an’s courtyard, a “school” is rising. This time, Lu Ping’an is not digesting any rules but “producing” new rules.

Visible to the naked eye, two “conduits” are providing nutrients for the new rule building: one is the Hatching Pool of Life’s origin, and the other is the “Taboo Library” symbolizing knowledge.

How to interpret “life” remains the theme of the God of Life.

Lin Nu is laissez-faire, while Lu Ping’an guides; one is chaos, the other is order.

When faced with the tier of life, Lin Nu has kings and gods, while Lu Ping’an offers the chance for all beings to become dragons; one is order, one is chaos.

Chaos and order originally have no hierarchy, just a state and concept, and that’s why Lu Ping’an constantly evolves his “reason,” growing stronger and stronger.

Perhaps, at some point, when he can explain what he understands as the “entirety of life,” that will be the day he steps further into the Eleventh Tier.

Of course, that’s still far away… Developing a new field now is a direct improvement, with the most immediate manifestation being the expansion of the courtyard and the people inside gaining beneficial buffs like “insight increase” and “willpower (concentration) increase.”

Explaining life, perfecting life, is the path of Lu Ping’an, the Master of Life.

And his actions, out of his own will, strangely align and complete his reason, making it visibly more magnificent…

“We can’t wait any longer.”

“His reform must fail.”

“Yes, if he succeeds, Eastern Country will protect him, and those organizations currently leaning towards My Lord (Lin Nu) will all betray us.”

Your enemies have always been the ones who understand and concern about you the most. In some shadows of Changping State, “competitors” are already prepared.

Their core has always been the remnants of Lin Nu’s force… but the most attentive and neutral force is also Lin Nu’s remnants, with many high-tier life professionals waiting for the outcome between Lu Ping’an and Lin Nu.

From the current trend, Lu Ping’an is evidently getting stronger, while Lin Nu’s side is naturally weakening.

Thus, the remnants of the “Loyalist Faction” no longer have the patience to wait for Lu Ping’an to show a flaw… Since waiting for an opportunity is not feasible, they will take the initiative to create one.

“Boom!”

So, while Lu was still striving for reform, the Ancient city suffered several terrorist attacks, and during the attacks, they declared that their target was the “evil force of Lu Ping’an.”

This is undoubtedly quite effective… They don’t need to win, just drag Lu Ping’an into disputes during a sensitive period, which can be seen as triggering a scandal of negative news.

But unfortunately, they were a bit late…

“Caught three more groups of Lin Nu’s forces? Uh, there was no unexpected loss?”

“No, our people are keeping a close watch. There was only property damage, no deaths… surprisingly weak.”

Some things happen that leave the parties involved feeling completely baffled.

Lu Ping’an has already sent a large number of key members to the Special Service Team, many of whom are veterans from the War Zone like Mercury 42, leading troops that include ferocious Strong Battle Beastmen. The entire Special Service Team can be called a rule-level team led by decree-level veterans.

“Did they not keep up with the current version?!”

The initial confusion soon had an answer: Lu Ping’an found out that the “Bishop” leading them was merely Decree-level fifth-tier.

“Perhaps they are truly still living years ago…”

Some people kept up with the times, while some deliberately stayed in the past.

Back then, when Lu Ping’an encountered an attack from Lin Nu’s Sixth Tier Peak big shot, he barely survived… Now, it’s a matter of a slap, not even needing to meet them.

The “legitimate line” left by Lin Nu locally, their strength was originally stuck in the old era. A fifth-sixth tier master could become a regional bishop responsible for an area’s church affairs and industries.

Now they are sending the “Special Forces” from the old era to trouble Lu Ping’an? No, these are just remnants of the old era, struggling unwilling to exit the stage of history.

Lu Ping’an always has to guard against the real legitimate line, those directly affiliated with Lin Nu and bound too tightly to separate… but seemingly, none of them have stepped forward to become cannon fodder yet.

Those top-tier strongmen are perhaps not only bound by Lin Nu but also bound by the Eastern Country.

Lu Ping’an’s actions continuously represent the will and face of the entire Eastern Country, making it inconvenient for those top-ranking extraordinary beings with legitimate identities to act.

“Tsk, a pack of evil wolves behind…”

Too many people are waiting for Lu Ping’an to fail and err. He can’t even show a hint of weakness.

But, where is reform ever smooth? Progress comes little by little, back and forth amidst twists and turns… those evil wolves aren’t worried about not catching a flaw.

However, they seem to have overestimated Lu Ping’an’s lower limit…

“Yes, I cheated, I falsified the data, I fabricated the reform results, so what?”
