Chapter 1925: Chapter 1919 Prayer

Honor belongs to the victor; for the loser, no matter how aggrieved and unwilling, it will only be seen as an excuse by others.

Lu Ping’an is a guy who doesn’t value honor too much. He just wants to win, just wants better results…..

“The population still hasn’t reached the limit? Is this a good thing?”

Among the nine new Demigods he dispatched, two have completely lost contact (suspected Godfall), and two have no intention of going out again after performing a few rescue missions.

Only Zeta Duna has gone out seven times, and she and her people have brought back at least over twenty groups of people, becoming a model of labor.

Her actions have inspired a batch of rescuers.

“We are the residents of this world. The Earth Realm used to be our world. Now those refugees are very likely our descendants….”

Her calm and firm words indeed moved many, especially in this world where heroes are needed.

However, the cost of being a hero is quite heavy…

“…I suggest you go straight into slumber. When we reach Earth, I’ll wake you up.”

Looking at the long medical report with lines of red warning data, Lu Ping’an was a bit surprised at how Zeta Duna managed to return safely.

“I want to see the end.”

She frowned, hesitated a bit, and did not insist on going out again.

She had actually already reached her limit. This journey was too arduous; her own world’s strong suppression almost crushed her.

Though now back in Silver City, most of the pressure is taken on by this Divine Realm… once she goes out, the pressure might even double.

Currently, her evaluated combat power might have stacked to a seventh-tier level. If she continues to insist, it would be too regrettable if she died.

“Alright…. By the way, let’s have breakfast together tomorrow. My ‘children’ want to hear about your experiences outside.”

“Ah, of course, okay…”

Zeta Duna was somewhat surprised. Isn’t this the legendary “Lu Ping’an’s family feast” or, in more Earthly terms, Lu Ping’an’s “shadow cabinet.”

This decision-making group that never invites outsiders surprisingly opened its doors to a New God? Zeta Duna was a bit surprised, even after reassessing her new boss repeatedly, she still seemed to underestimate his magnanimity.

Seeing her accept, Lu Ping’an smiled, bade farewell, and left, not continuing to waste her break time….. In fact, his daily active time is also quite limited, so it’s better not to be too extravagant.

Absorbing some personnel into the “Inner Ring” is not a sudden whim of Lu Ping’an.

A department, a force needs stability, hope must be given to individuals in positions, whether promotion or raises, as long as there is a possibility of change, they will be more motivated to work hard… If hard work proves meaningless, once risen to a certain level, further advancement becomes impossible, just slacking off is considered quite professional, there’re too many examples of trying to replace those above which ends up destroying the company/group/nation.

Of course, though it appears that anyone could… this door will only open a crack, followed by “rules” being patched up later.

If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow’s family feast will witness an unexpected event, Chris will be moved by Zeta Duna’s “effort” and actively propose to take her as a disciple.

Thus, they become a family…. And this attitude of “casually finding a reason to absorb one or two people into the Inner Ring” is also a signal Lu Ping’an is conveying to the outside.

“Tsk, truly troublesome.”

Though somewhat annoyed, since rules have been established, even the rule-maker Lu Ping’an himself cannot arbitrarily cross or twist them.

If he could do this, then the effect of these rules would naturally be greatly reduced.

At this point, it has transformed from a small company into an international corporation and even a country… The original small workshop’s style is inappropriate, all actions must have “rules” that can at least convince on the surface.

Or it would bring about a series of unfortunate issues including internal management chaos, reform implementation failures, veterans relying on their seniority, etc.

Shaking his head, Lu Ping’an cast aside his thoughts. Truly absorbing Zeta Duna into the Inner Ring still largely depended on his personal preference.

Lu Ping’an had already reviewed her information, capable of “retiring from Jianghu” for so many years in the Underworld Realm, even watching her own decline, this kind of “endurance” and “will” is something Lu Ping’an himself feels he couldn’t achieve.

Just as Zeta Duna appreciates Lu Ping’an’s attitude towards mortals, Lu Ping’an likewise, people with similar worldviews naturally become friends easily.

“The more like-minded individuals, the better…”

Perhaps, the true entry threshold for the Inner Ring is instead this.

Even if veteran cadres like Guan Xinxian and Xue En don’t participate in the family feast, the family won’t treat them any less as the Inner Ring.

“…Time, is running short.”

The unfortunate Dancer Demigod who touched the world’s essence almost got taken away in a wave, also brought more accurate doomsday information.

The world is not about to perish, but has already died… he is now like a pieced-together monster segmented into chunks of fresh flesh, not yet torn apart completely, only because it hasn’t encountered a strong kick from the Knight.

Just need external guidance, or even left unattended for a period, the Shattered World will naturally fracture into fragments, becoming the delicacies on the Gods’ table.

And the reason Lu Ping’an hasn’t left yet is merely because there are still mortals to be saved, meanwhile, this time Lu Ping’an himself has also early on sat at the table.

Though now he’s already full….. but World Origin fragments are rare, often only emerging in Doomsday World, Shattered World.

If the Rule-level can achieve Fusion, evolution in essence can be completed, successfully achieving Advancement by following this path for the eighth or ninth order is merely a matter of time.

And those higher-tiered beings need him the most….. They can even merge the World Fragments into their “Divine Kingdom,” making it more “real” and “stable.”

Who can refuse such an opportunity for evolution, even if absorbance fails due to poor compatibility, bringing it back to sell can still fetch a fortune.

Confirming that the state of the returning Demigods is not bad, Lu Ping’an yawned, planning to hold his Spirit patrol one more round to highlight his living presence, then go back to catch up on sleep.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice, a call from a Believer.

“Oh mighty God, I am an original Warrior searching outside. I have made a significant discovery here; there seems to be ancient civilization relics…”

Hearing the clearly directed prayer, Lu Ping’an was first happy, finally finding treasures, then he was stunned.

“…Yet another prayer without their name and location?! Heaven, how do I know who you are and what place you are reporting?!”
