How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 1938: Chapter 1932 Undead Legion
Queen, values Lu Ping’an’s upper limit, or rather, divinity.
Knight, retains Lu Ping’an’s lower limit, or rather, humanity.
“Sometimes, comparing oneself to others, one indeed wonders if one is still truly human…”
Having divinity in one’s actions isn’t a big issue, but having no humanity towards one’s own kind is quite problematic.
Xia Qin, who has always been Lu Ping’an’s external conscience, actually also bears the responsibility of reminding from another perspective.
Sometimes, being high and above for too long indeed makes one detached from the mundane world.
Lu Ping’an cherishes being part of “humanity,” as it is only with his kind that he can resonate; losing one’s self-cognition as part of “humanity” will eventually turn one into something unimaginable.
The so-called original intention is the source, and perhaps, also the endpoint.
“Life should be brilliant, should have value.”
Calm words, yet they reaffirmed the “core rules” of the courtyard.
Infinite resurrection on the battlefield? Impossible, it’s just that the courtyard can partially retain souls and regenerate them, but who should bear this cost?
“War dead, transformed into Burning Warriors and died again, can use Life-points to revive themselves… uh, isn’t this ‘buying life’?”
Returning once more to the Throne, Lu Ping’an already shifted his gaze away from the battlefield.
Since the “General” has fulfilled his duty, this “King” should also attend to proper business.
The frontline warriors are fighting hard, and this “logistics” must also fulfill its duty, with proper allocation.
“Actually, it’s quite simple….”
Some things, some rules, once really touched, are just about resource allocation.
In Lu Ping’an’s domain, death is not the end… and those who receive his Blessing and hold “Life Insurance,” as long as they can retain most of their soul’s integrity upon death and reside in the same world as the courtyard, the courtyard can reclaim their soul.
“As the Master of Eternal Life, my believers, my warriors, will not think death is the end…”
The Deity pronounced a declaration, calm words resonating through the world like the sacred chime of a church bell.
“… I will give you another chance, dissolve Life-points, and gain Newborn.”
Henceforth, Lu Ping’an himself will not give the Blessing of “Life Insurance,” instead, he will entrust this authority to the professionals of his “Life Bank” and the courtyard itself.
One only needs to purchase “Life Insurance” and be a believer of Lu Ping’an to enjoy this “second chance.”
The insurance itself has a limit; when encountering death, this contract gathered by Life-points will allow them to resuscitate as part of the Burning Legion.
“… An unavoidable term of service will be one of the costs of revival…”
The revived Flame Life will become part of the legion, serving a term.
In a sense, this also forces the resurrected to enjoy a period of “Flame Life State,” live for a time in a collective life.
“… In this process, accumulating battle accomplishments and Life-points, offering wishes in front of the Life Holy Image, can obtain the potential for reincarnation…”
In some sense, Lu Ping’an is the Deity who understands the underground rules the most thoroughly.
He already had related components and rules, simply further complementing and perfecting them in this world.
The ability to transform the dead into the Burning Legion, he already had, and the ability to let the souls of the dead enter the Divine Kingdom is a basic trait of Tenth-order life.
He merely further integrated all capabilities.
And the biggest rule change in this world is the conservation of “Energy/Soul”… this means the warriors of the Burning Legion, as long as they are within Lu Ping’an’s Divine Realm, can have negligible life force loss, without the need to maintain life through constant battle and looting.
With this weakness removed, they don’t seem different from truly “living.”
And this is not the endpoint.
In Lu Ping’an’s courtyard, the Beastman Statue radiates golden glimmers.
The already massive statue further “scaled up.”
The independent statue transformed into a “plaza” composed of statues, with various statues of Beastmen, the Dragon descendants, Four-hand Clan, Fishmen, and other species flanking the largest “Balance Disaster Beast” statue.
This represents the “species” that Lu Ping’an collected, also serving as his gene pool.
Before Chris’s statue, a large fountain pool stands; seemingly decorative architecture, yet it’s actually the embodiment of “rules.”
The statue inherently had the ability to collect points and acquire Beastman Transform genes, and his Life Wishing Spring can fundamentally Modify Life species.
Henceforth, within Lu Ping’an’s “courtyard,” species are not absolute; just pay Life-points, and they can be replaced.
And those “Burning Warriors,” by paying battle accomplishments and Life-points, can transform back into “living beings” through rule building.
Of course, the cost is very high….
“Follow my will, abide by my principle, and achieve true eternity….”
Will it be true eternity? Xia Qin specifically reminded Lu Ping’an, how could he allow the mass production of Undead?
If “Burning Warriors” become “New Beastmen,” as the cost of buying life, it’s also a maintenance fee for the soul’s integrity, requiring the periodic payment of Life-points.
Also not expensive, one point per day….
“…In the pursuit of life’s value, gain mutual win in the evolution process, you will gain true eternity.”
Lu Ping’an’s past experiences would provide common treatment standards to those revived.
There is still a distinction between the living and resurrected; that “maintenance fee” will constantly remind them they once died and must continuously act to keep living.
Be it business, hunting, or serving as a mercenary, they cannot stop moving.
Just as Lu Ping’an was once pushed forward by this “expenditure,” so will the resurrected by continuing action.
These things need not be announced to the world now.
Simply the matter of “dying in battle” not being eternal suffices to drive all warriors into frenzy and fearlessness.
Considering their previous “accumulation,” even knowing a maintenance fee of one point per day, they wouldn’t care… until they truly run short of points, it’s another matter entirely.
One step at a time, the proclamation completed, the frontline warriors’ morale surged—the battlefield ignition stronger than anything “not dying.”
The depiction of this rule also signifies that Lu Ping’an’s “kingdom” has formed its basic cycle.
Life flows through the Divine Kingdom; as long as warriors don’t face complete Divine Soul annihilation, they have the potential for Infinite Evolution.
Though it’s a “costly” immortality, it suffices to attract countless strong men under Lu Ping’an… Or from another angle, willing to pay, even the weaker can eventually evolve into strong.
“Hope to obtain the local ‘Heroic Spirit’ technology before this world perishes, then the cycle here will be even more complete….”
