Chapter 399: Our Plan Was Progressing Smoothly
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ling Ping’an looked at the young female kindergarten teacher in front of him.
She was very young!
She looked a little smaller than Ling Ping’an?
Her eyes look like jade, like gemstones.
Her face is very small and she has two shallow dimples.
She seems to have a poisonous bloodline?
Ling Ping’an didn’t think too much about it because the Federal Empire had been a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country since ancient times.
In this country, the legal rights and equal status of all ethnic groups and religions were protected by the Const.i.tution.
He smiled and asked, “Are you doing well here?”
The young teacher lowered her head. She seemed to be very shy and said timidly, “Young master, thank you for your kindness… We are all doing well…”
Ling Ping’an frowned slightly. “There’s nothing to be grateful about…”
“It’s just a small matter!”
“Yes!” The other party lowered her head even lower, almost shrinking to her chest.
She understood her status.
The sect of the feast witches had already clearly defined their ident.i.ty and status from the beginning.
They were just seeds casually sown by the great Father G.o.d.
They were weeds that did not even have the right to be chosen.
Now, the Father G.o.d had shown mercy and actually gave these lowly weeds, the dust of the universe, the chance to be chosen.
What kind of grace was this?
What kind of luck was this?!
Ling Ping’an looked and shook his head helplessly.
“She may have had an extremely pitiful and unfortunate past…”
“This resulted in her inferiority complex and cowardice…”
Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an slowed down his tone and asked, “Where are the others?”
“Do you want to see them?” The young teacher raised her head. Her jade-blue eyes were like water.
“They aren’t here?” Ling Ping’an shook his head, “Then forget it…”
He had only come to see how these people were doing.
It was enough to see that they were doing well.
Although, in the tradition of the Federal Empire, it was not the conduct of a gentleman to do good without asking for repayment.
This was because the Empire believed that only by allowing the righteous warriors to receive sufficient rewards, the brave warriors would receive rewards that matched their contributions.
Only then could the entire society continue to develop in a good direction.
This was the lesson of Zi Gong ransoming the people.
It was also the social trend of thought that appeared after the Donglin Gang of the previous dynasty was criticized.
Therefore, in the primary school ideology cla.s.s of the Federal Empire, the students would be told: those who did good deeds must be rewarded and they must also be rewarded.
This was to prevent people from fis.h.i.+ng for fame, like the Donglin Gang, which would bring disaster to the country and the people.
It was also the foundation that allowed the number of good people to increase and the number of bad people to decrease.
For example, Ling Ping’an family, for generations, donating their own land income was not free.
Because of the donation of the land, his family was able to avoid all land taxes and real estate taxes.
Otherwise, with the turnover of his bookstore…
It would have long gone bankrupt!
How could he still be so leisurely like a rice worm?
He probably had no choice but to find a job long ago. He would be able to commute to work at two o’clock and one o’clock in the morning, becoming one of the tens of thousands of workers.
But when it came to this matter, Ling Ping’an didn’t pay much.
He only acted as a liaison.
Therefore, from Ling Ping’an’s point of view, these poor people should be thankful to the Federal Empire’s relief system.
They should also give something back in the future.
Just like the Empire’s aid policy, those who enjoyed interest-free loans should donate to the aid fund when they had the ability.
They would even take the time to go to areas that lacked educational resources and take up teaching jobs.
…
Listening to the words of the great ruler in front of her.
Yu Jiaonu felt as though her entire body was filled with happiness.
She carefully moved closer.
This was so that she could get a closer feel of the great ruler that the Father G.o.d served.
And so, she succeeded.
Her soul almost suffocated the moment she got close.
A strange whisper appeared in her ears.
Crack crack crack…
Crack crack…
This was the sound of the universe.
It came from truth as well as reality.
It contained truth that humans couldn’t understand or even think about.
It pointed to the origin of the universe, the foundation of all things.
Being unable to understand was humanity’s good fortune.
Because if it could be understood, then a fragile species like humanity would be distorted by the terrifying knowledge and endless truth the moment they started thinking.
Eventually, they would be dominated by the reality and truth.
They would become the puppets of knowledge, the minions of truth.
Fortunately, Yu Jiaonu was a feastg witch and she had the protection of the great G.o.d of Feasting.
Therefore, she could avoid listening to the terrifying knowledge and truth.
Like a child, she smiled brightly and innocently because this was a gift.
Just like the palace maids serving the Emperors in the Mortal Palace, her smile was full of caution.
And because this was a gift!
“Young master…” Yu Jiaonu said ingratiatingly, “Actually, it doesn’t matter… I’ll call them right away…”
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and pretended to call.
But in fact, she had no such intention at all.
With the arrival of the great ruler, how could she share such grace with others?
The feast witches had always been selfish.
Extremely selfis.h.!.+
If possible, they wanted to destroy each other the most.
But now, under the command of the great ruler, they put away their claws and teeth, put down the butcher’s knife and put on human skin.
However, underneath the human skin was still an evil soul and a crazy body.
Ling Ping’an shook his head and said to the person in front of him, “It’s better not to…”
“I just came to see you…”
“I’m very happy that you’re able to adapt to the life now…”
Yu Jiaonu immediately lowered her head respectfully.
If she didn’t know the rules and her status, she would have already prostrated herself on the ground, wors.h.i.+pping and bowing her head.
But she knew that she was not qualified to wors.h.i.+p.
Even being respectful was actually an transgression.
She now knew her own status.
The feast witch was just a seed casually sown by the Father G.o.d among the stellaris.
It was weeds and dust.
The amount of weeds and dust like her among the stellaris was immeasurable.
So, they were never the children of the Father G.o.d because they were not worthy!
They were only the weeds and dust that were lucky enough to be picked out by the Father G.o.d from the stone.
Therefore, they were not even qualified to believe in the great G.o.d of Feasting.
The great G.o.d of Feasting would not accept their faith and wors.h.i.+p.
They would not even admit that they were his children.
Only those who were chosen, who met the requirements of the Father G.o.d, or who were honored by the Father G.o.d, were his children and believers.
Only then were they qualified to offer tributes to him, offer sacrifices to him, and receive his response.
Those people were the ‘millions of favored ones’.
The son of G.o.d who possessed near-eternal life and great strength.
As for this person before him…
The Great one who even the Father G.o.d had to serve and obey..
Yu Jiaonu understood that kowtowing in front of him was a qualification only an existence like the Father G.o.d could have.
Anyone or anything that attempted to overstep the boundaries would definitely be attacked by countless powerful and great existences, including the great G.o.d of Feasting.
And speaking respectfully to him and paying respect to him.
Only the leaders of powerful advanced civilizations had the right to do so.
Dust and weeds did not have the right to respect him, much less wors.h.i.+p him.
Now, the reason why she could pay respect to him was because of the great Father G.o.d.
Such logic seemed absurd but it was the order of the universe.
To wors.h.i.+p, one needed to have the right.
So did faith!
Yu Jiaonu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in her heart, but her vocal cords were still trembling with excitement.
She whispered, “Young master… do you have any instructions?”
Ling Ping’an looked at her and scratched his head.
“Instructions?” He shook his head, “What instructions do I have?”
Yu Jiaonu was terrified. She knew that she had crossed the line.
How could a lowly weed and dust make such a request to such a great being?
This was blasphemy!
It was a great sin!
The Great One’s wisest choice was to wait for this great being to leave before committing suicide.
She would destroy her physical body and soul together.
In this way, she might be able to make up for this great sin!
However, the ruler’s voice sounded in her ears.
“Live well…”
“I’m already very satisfied…”
“If… you can become someone useful to the Federal Empire…”
“That would be the best!”
Yu Jiaonu raised her head, her eyes watery.
How fortunate was this!
The lowly dust and weeds were actually bestowed with such grace by the almighty ruler!
How glorious was this!
In the vast universe, there were countless weeds and dust. Even if she gave it her all, she might not be able to obtain even a single word of orders from the almighty ruler!
This divine order!
Yu Jiaonu’s body began to tremble.
She forced herself to suppress her excitement.
With tears in her eyes, the lowly weed gratefully said, “Yes!”
“I will definitely become someone useful to the Federal Empire!”
No matter what the Great Sovereign’s orders were, they had to be carried out unconditionally because… for dust and weeds to be able to obtain such an order was already a supreme honor!
It was the result of exhausting all luck.
It was also her own honor.
It was also the most important thing in her life.
Because…
This meant that the moment she received the order, she received an opportunity for countless great beings to break their brains.
To serve the great supreme being, the ruler of everything.
To serve him until death.
To turn his body into dust and his soul into foam.
But, this was glorious!
Because, at the moment of acceptance, dust and weeds had transcended the dust and weeds.
They had become chosen lambs.
In fact…
They were even qualified to go to that invisible palace in the future and become his slaves who would serve him eternally.
…
He got on the car to go home.
Ling Ping’an was still lamenting.
“Such a simple person!” He sighed.
However, he had known about this since that night.
Even though these girls and their leader were living on the streets, they insisted on working to support themselves.
Even though they had no food or clothes, they didn’t have the intention to commit crimes.
Therefore, the att.i.tude and expression of the kindergarten teacher was very reasonable in Ling Ping’an’s eyes.
The poor people who had been marginalized by society were accepted by the country and reintegrated into the mainstream society.
Anyone with a basic conscience and a heart of grat.i.tude would be like the kindergarten teacher. They would have a strong sense of grat.i.tude and grat.i.tude towards society and the country.
From the rearview mirror of the car, Ling Ping’an saw the figure of the young kindergarten teacher appeared on the street.
She was watching him leave.
Ling Ping’an nodded again and touched the kitten in his arms. The sense of morality in his heart was greatly satisfied.
However…
He watched the figure gradually disappeared into the rearview mirror.
Ling Ping’an slowly closed his eyes.
“Recently, I seem to have become more and more indifferent…” as he thought, he also recalled what happened just now.
If it was in the past, he would definitely feel bad if he saw such a young lady choking with tears in front of him.
He would definitely feel bad.
But just now, there were no ripples in his heart at all.
It was as if it was normal for her to be red-eyed, grateful, and choked with tears.
In fact, at a certain moment, he even felt that it was a great honor for that young lady to be able to choke in front of him!
It was the blessing of the eighteen generations of ancestors!
It wasn’t just that!
Ling Ping’an recalled the time when he was surrounded by the Taiji Xingyi’s successor and his subordinates.
At that time, while he was confident in the law he had a faint feeling in his heart that feeling made his hair stand on end.
“Weeds dare to block my way?”
This wasn’t right!
“When did I have such a feeling in my heart?” He recalled.
Thus, he recalled.
It was that evening.
After he defeated that armed foreigner.
From then on, he seemed to have an inexplicable sense of arrogance.
Even though he didn’t want to admit it.
But in reality, from then on, he often prided himself as a ‘gentleman’.
‘Looks like… I should read more books…’ He thought, ‘Confucius said that I should do soul searching three times every day!’
‘I want to avoid becoming the type of person that I hate the most!’
Inexplicable arrogance, aloof indifference and the thought of looking down on others.
These were all things that a gentleman would not do.
As a young man of the new generation, Ling Ping’an understood that he should not be like this!
However…
He always had a vague idea in his heart.
To this world, to all living things and even to the cat in his hand.
He would always have some inexplicable idea in a certain instant.
He always felt that everyone else was stupid.
They were like dust, like ants.
“This isn’t good!”
“If that’s the case, what’s the difference between me and those ancient scholar-officials?”
The ancient scholars not only looked down on other nations and countries as barbarians.
Even their own people were treated like dogs.
Their mouths were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in reality, they were dressed like animals.
This kind of person had long been criticized and thrown into the trash can of history.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an slowly sat up straight.
“I want to be a true gentleman!” As he said this, he warned himself.
But he wouldn’t know that beside him, in the void, strings of light b.a.l.l.s were faintly discernible.
Faintly, there were murmurs echoing in the background of the universe.
Everyone who could hear these murmurs understood.
Our plan…
It was going smoothly…
