How Am I Still Alive?
Chapter 1988 - 1982: Saintess

Chapter 1988: Chapter 1982: Saintess

Those in power cannot see clearly while the bystanders can. While Lu Ping’an was still hesitating in advancing reforms, the decision-makers in Wanjing were, in fact, much more decisive than him.

The truth is that many of the Neutral Parties were quite shocked by Wanjing’s indulgence towards Lu.

Certain matters had already crossed the line... the barrier between the Extraordinary and the Mortal had been completely shattered, instability brought by a Superhuman society was spreading, and the "Heavenly Net" gradually monitoring everyone looked like a precursor to dictatorship from any angle.

Yet Wanjing did nothing, seemingly consenting to all of this happening.

"It shouldn’t be, right? Could they have completely abandoned the Special Zone? Given up both the underground and surface Special Zones? This isn’t the Eastern Country’s habit."

"Could it be that they feel the reforms can be controlled... when information spreads, when the fact that ’future life will be better’ emerges, intelligence blockade becomes meaningless."

The reason probably surpasses everyone’s expectations and guesses.

"Is it because the reforms have shown hope? But there are already several plans and experimental fields within the Eastern Country, a basket full of various reform plans has been organized, and they even have experiences from implementing them in Otherworldly lands, they really are not missing this one... What they lack more is the determination to burn their bridges, and also the opportunity and timing to make this determination."

"Is it because the young Deity has a positive influence on the entire Extraordinary System..."

Many suppositions are all answers, but what truly makes them acquiesce or even indulge is actually a quite pure reality.

"His Divine Realm promotes the evolution of species within its range, granting them ’Racial Traits.’

The impact isn’t significant? Currently, the impact isn’t significant, even if Lu Ping’an elevates once more, this ability cannot directly influence the entire world.

"This, is a Trait of the God Above Gods or even the Twelve-Pillar; to endow one’s own ethnic group with Traits and Talents..."

The mere existence gives the race transcendent talents and abilities beyond reality, with too many precedents in this aspect. The Twelve-Pillar observed includes the Lord of Myriad Changes, the Blunt Beast, and Firebird’s Family Clan, all possess racial talents far surpassing ordinary life forms.

The Lord of Myriad Changes grants Energy Creatures infinite possibilities and wisdom, the Blunt Beast brings forth a life talent to absorb all energy, while in the world under the wings of the Firebird, the clansmen inherently possess an "inert stable energy flow," becoming a Strongman seems to just require studying and learning diligently.

Even the Octopus King, it can confer its clansmen with frenzy, bloodthirstiness... or, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a kind of madness, but in the eyes of researchers, this indeed is a "meme-like contamination ethnic group trait."

"Our planet is too eager for one of the Twelve-Pillar... the God Above Gods also works. Our ethnic history is too short, we joined this survival competition too late, the chance of nurturing a top-tier Strongman is too low."

Therefore, even though Lu Ping’an is still a far cry from the Twelve-Pillar, just a slight tendency towards Trait and Evolution allowed him to gain substantial external support.

The reason is really quite simple, in the eyes of the true decision-makers, the survival competition amidst "Contamination" has never ceased. The Multi-universe is like a flood continually rising, those who go higher are more likely to survive, the issue is the materials for the "stairs" leading upward need to be seized.

In such situations, backwardness means getting beaten, which is reality, and in an era where individual strength is indeed limitless, a Seed that might become the God Above Gods, no matter how indulgent, is not wrong... especially when Lu is now behaving exceptionally in "Order," with considerable social ties.

Even if the success rate is less than one in ten million, as long as it is not zero, it can receive support.

He might fail, his inheritance, his genes, his thoughts, they all might become the nutrition for a new generation of geniuses to grow... Many of those God Above Gods and Twelve-Pillars came about this way.

A powerful world can nurture powerful Deities, even if this generation fails, its inheritance still becomes the world’s asset.

His ability brings an uplift throughout the entire ethnic group... as Lu Ping’an shows more of his value, the tolerance from above towards him is also rising continually.

Even the long-awaited final battle with Lin Nu was delayed due to the Eastern Country suppressing Lin Nu.

Now, the loyal faction of the Lin Nu Force is no longer at the level of being ostracized domestically, many of them have even had their old issues dug up with wanted lists produced... Given the behavior style of old-era professionals, making a case for administrative punishment offenses is without difficulty.

This might seem a bit like breaking the bridge after crossing the river, but indeed, this is the reality.

After Lu Ping’an and Lin Nu demonstrated destined antagonism, they naturally chose the side with more value... The laissez-faire attitude of Lin Nu, in many people’s eyes, is the most dangerous "anarchism" and "Theocracy."

If there really were someone to become the future Master of Life on Earth, clearly, Lu Ping’an is more gentle, with a higher ceiling, and would not overly interfere in Mortal life.

"The advantage is that many dangerous elements were warned or controlled, when Lin Nu declares war on us, they might come reluctantly, the disadvantage is..."

"If they come, it probably would be a desperate final battle."

Lin Nu probably has only one chance left... Upon receiving this information, Lu Ping’an felt both amused and helpless, whereas Chris rarely dragged Lu Ping’an for a night of drinking, voluntarily getting drunk once.

Perhaps, for her, this was already an unimaginable future... After all, Chris truly once contributed to the local ethnic group, but when later forced to choose between Chris and Lin Nu, everyone knew who to pick.

Ultimately, she took to extremes, partly because there were no longer any friends around her.

"Indeed, it’s the wheel of fate... whoever writes the fate scripts must have quite a morbid sense of humor."

"Meow, it’s indeed ironic meow... Can the cat get off work now?"

"No."

And now, what Lu Ping’an is busier with, apart from controlling and training those Divine Envoys, is cultivating his own "Divine’s Avatar," which is to be his Saintess and Saint.

"Meow doesn’t want to be this Saintess or whatever. Besides, cat... controlling speech habits, is way too much meow!"

Yes, Lu Ping’an chose one Saintess, which was Meow.

The reason is really quite simple, she has the highest tier of Spiritualization talent.

However, becoming a Saintess is not that easy, it requires compatibility on multiple levels, not just of soul but also of concept... Meow and Lu Ping’an were actually "fused (soul)" a few times, so the compatibility should not be low.

Lu Ping’an indeed could recruit those rare extraordinary professionals with soul abilities, but having someone available and reliable now... mainly, this identity is too special, trust is more crucial.

Yet after truly testing it, Lu Ping’an did not hesitate to throw the other candidates’ resumes into the trash bin.

"210% synchronization rate... Uh, does that mean if I ’God’s Descent’ onto her body, it will be stronger than this avatar of mine now?"

"Much stronger... should be considered our strongest combat power."

Thus, during the current preparation period, naturally, Meow could only work overtime.

"Ladylike speaking style? Can’t lick hands and corners of the mouth? Must walk politely and can’t leap or climb rooftops? Ugh, just kill me meow!"

But as the Saintess, the spokesperson of God, the basic demeanor is essential.

During this coercion process, Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but think of another matter.

"I remember Lin Nu also seemed to have a Saintess, who was responsible for hunting us down back then...."
