Chapter 1919: Chapter 1913: Different Warriors

In the vast hall, the Deity offered their promise.

To become a warrior facing nine lives and one death? Or a busy yet calm daily life,

Most heroes choose to give up being a hero… Although somewhat unexpected, these deceived Awakened ones are the most complex and distrusting individuals in the group.

They, having suffered betrayal and deception, often after committing serious crimes of rebellion, may only want a safe and peaceful life.

They stand here, perhaps only because Lu Ping’an offered a nice reward.

“…We just want to survive.”

The words did not need to be spoken, but the dull eyes filled with unease and suspicion, Lu Ping’an understood.

Those without resolve step onto the battlefield, especially this battlefield of nine lives and one death, often die quickly.

Lu Ping’an did not insist. He at least briefly mentioned the rewards for “missions abroad,” which were at least ten times the income of ordinary mercenaries, swaying many former heroes.

But ultimately, less than a third of the heroes chose to continue being “saviors.”

In stark contrast, however, were those ordinary warriors, who may not long ago have been the henchmen of “lords,” with over eight out of ten opting to carry out missions abroad.

Are the weaker ones more brave instead?

“No… After witnessing the strong, the weaker naturally crave strength more, to better grasp their destiny.”

Now, Lu Ping’an viewed the expressions of those who gave up with more subtlety.

He shook his head and did not stop their decisions.

As the Master of Life, he longs to see the shining brilliance of humanity, but the simple, ordinary mortals are also streams flowing in the river of life without issue.

“For those executing duties abroad, a long-term interest-free loan of three hundred Life-points will be granted to each…”

This “sum” is almost a handout, a massive fortune enough for a qualitative change for the now lacking local beastmen.

At the same time, Lu Ping’an spread his hand, with light-white spheres appearing in it.

“I am the Master of Eternal Life, the Guardian God of Life Value and Evolution…”

The calm words transformed into elevated holy words, Lu Ping’an bestowed the Divine Grace of the God of Life, and it was a customized version.

[Lu Ping’an’s Evolution Blessing (Upper Silver)]

Seemingly ordinary in description, but in reality, it is quite something exceptional.

[It grants struggling heroes lucky blessings, offers the desperate evolutionary possibilities to forge paths, and gives the unlucky another chance…]

Sometimes, the more powerful the ability, the more vaguely it is described.

This is not just a single blessing, but Lu Ping’an fused several systems’ powers into an Evolution Seed.

It concerns the destiny pathways of “heroes,” and the more one fits the role of a hero and struggles, the more likely one will receive the world’s favor and occasional luck.

At the same time, it is integrated with the rules of the Underworld… As long as the prerequisites for evolution are met, evolution can be achieved in species, obtaining a better physical Panel.

The last blessing is more hidden, yet it is Lu Ping’an’s “compassion,” raising the level of this “Seed Blessing” significantly, consuming much more power.

“If dead, they will return as part of the Burning Legion…”

These words Lu Ping’an didn’t utter, because heroes without a retreat shine more gloriously… Of course, they might also end up dying faster due to fear of death.

Lu Ping’an did not mind the waste of this power; as long as one or two heroes shine with more elevated life brilliance, opening up new pathways for Profession, Lu Ping’an would feel it wasn’t a loss.

One by one, the warriors ventured out, quickly completing their purchases in the courtyard, and began their journey.

They cannot understand Lu Ping’an’s goal of actions, but can feel the goodwill…

“That’s enough.”

Smiling, Lu Ping’an turned his attention to more mundane tasks.

The courtyard continues to expand, the layout and development of various industries driving the secretary group nearly mad, while the overall “production value” of the courtyard casually increased by hundreds of times.

Previously, the factories within Lu Ping’an’s courtyard more played a role of “self-sufficiency,” mainly meeting the basic requirements for survival needs across various worlds, while some excess products were sold to earn “foreign exchange.”

And now, this is a mobile nation, a producer continually exporting goods and crops outward.

This actually aligns with Lu Ping’an’s existence concept as a “Deity.”

“Let the Dragon descendants join in too… People from the Underworld can also partake in this work, with pay referenced from those before.”

As a ranch of the three-layered world, the Earth Realm is vast and severely sparsely populated.

They strictly control information technology, and the communication system is often dominated by local high-level leaders in the form of Holy Relics, with many remote areas not under the control of a major lord likely unaware of what’s happening.

If the invaders from the Foreign Domain come first…

“Save one is one…”

The personnel dispatched by Lu Ping’an began fulfilling their duties.

They set out in all directions, starting “saturation rescue”… Most of them would likely return here in the form of burning Elemental Creatures.

And this is already the limit of Lu Ping’an’s goodwill. He could not throw the lives of his brothers who’ve followed him along the way into this region.

Before the warriors embarked on their journey, Lu Ping’an provided them a surprise, a set of “Gift” rushed out in emergency overtime.

“Warrior’s Sword. Copy version… Don’t expect it to connect to the Upper Realm; it can only link to me, but it’s enough to help you break the shackles of evolution.”

In hero epics, the initial strength of warriors is often ordinary, yet their growth potential is endlessly escalating as if they were cheating.

Lu Ping’an can improve basic strength and bestow power yet finds it unappealing and unnecessary.

As the “hidden hand,” Lu Ping’an only needs to patiently sow the seeds and wait for the day they sprout.

This batch of fake Warrior’s Swords is also a Creation of the “God of Craftsmen,” premium customized products of the courtyard’s extraordinary industrial sector.

Who is the true warrior? The Divine Son favored by Lu Ping’an? It’s the one who survives until the end and contributes the most.

In some sense, the result-oriented Lu Ping’an occasionally acts quite “Lin Nu.”

“I bestow upon you the blessing of Martial Destiny…”

And at this moment, the Big Cat acted too.

Having acquired the Martial Fight and War Divine Position, she could also bestow Divine Grace and blessings,

However, she did not interfere with their decisions.

What’s noteworthy is the next day, after the warriors departed, Lu Ping’an instead received grievances and complaints.

“We also want to become heroes, to save our local compatriots.”

Looking at the beastmen voluntarily requesting to fight, Lu Ping’an was puzzled, wasn’t gathering warriors not a self-sign-up? Why didn’t you go to save before?

“Your 300 Life-points interest-free loan was leaked…”

Okay, so they came for the perks.

Maybe if they get their hands on a fake Warrior’s Sword, they won’t work properly anyway. They might just go find a place to hide and suddenly reappear when it’s time to leave.

“Nonsense, how about we contact the secretary department to deduct their wages.”

“No, promise them… Those who receive my fate blessing will be watched by the world, unable to stay quietly in the doomsday. I am also looking forward to seeing whether those who voluntarily save and those forced into it have more life value, whose upper limit and potential are higher!”
