The group was still buzzing with excitent, with so questioning the historical "Moon landing" by the ili Empire, as the current large-scale Moon developntal project required significant investnt yet showed little progress. Consequently, more and more people began to doubt how the Moon landing was achieved fifty years ago.
Unexpectedly, once Wang Hao spoke up, the direction of the conversation in the group imdiately changed, "Big Uncle, you haven’t updated in half a month, I thought you had entered the palace!"
This sentence continuously flashed across the screen, quickly racking up 99 ntions.
"No, no, I haven’t entered the palace, I’m just lost in wild fantasies!" Wang Hao quickly responded with embarrassnt, almost forgetting that he had a novel-writing task, truly letting down the older generation in Jiangdong.
[Eternal Donkey]: "The Six Paths of Reincarnation, a concept from Buddhism."
"To precisely judge the value of a person’s life is actually quite difficult. I think we should introduce a mathematical formula, adding points for a good deed, subtracting for a bad one. For significant evil deeds, deduct a huge amount of points, which would require nurous good deeds to offset."
"That makes sense!" Wang Hao nodded in agreent.
[Zero]: "That’s too generalized. Not quite appropriate."
"For example, how should we judge the achievents of Emperor Qin Shi Huang? From a personal perspective, how many people did he kill? How much evil did he commit? How many points should be deducted? Wouldn’t he be in Hell until the universe ceases to exist? But from the perspective of Great Xia’s civilization, Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s contributions are historically outstanding, as anyone with common sense can recognize the benefits of a unified dynasty to the developnt of the whole civilization."
"Without the thinking of a great unification, Great Xia would be no different from India. So, I think your thod of judgnt is wrong! Emperor Qin Shi Huang is vilified as utterly detestable by your standards!"
"You have a point there!" Wang Hao nodded sowhat in agreent, "Should we judge faults from a historical perspective? That seems rather difficult."
He wasn’t into the law; he was now involved in discussions about reincarnation.
Soon, people in the group crazily discussed these ideas...
These people were incredibly enthusiastic, spouting various mathematical and physical terms—one after another—without realizing how ti had passed.
...
...
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, Fenghua City.
With the completion of the sacrificial ceremony, the spirit tablet of the Great Tortoise Mother was returned to the "Turtle Mansion." All mbers of the pioneering team finally breathed a huge sigh of relief, nearly collapsing when they returned to their resting mansion.
Tired, so very tired!
After a series of events, even an iron man would feel overwheld.
Moreover, the eagerly anticipated resources had yet to be transmitted, causing unbearable anxiety!
There were just over fifty core personnel, most of them soldiers; could they manage a city?
Since specialties matter, relying solely on these soldiers wasn’t enough...
"Fortunately, the future looks bright. The first phase of our mission is completed! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
A cup of murky wine brought a bit of liveliness, warming their bodies.
"The court will soon send envoys to assess the disasters in Fenghua City, how should we address it?" Scholar Ding Zhijing was strategizing excitedly in the room. If they could gain a foothold in this great city, it ant a fantastic start for Heavenly Gate’s big project.
Qingshi Town was nice, but it was too small.
That said, the mansion they were resting in was provided by his family.
"The court’s envoy, huh? Now that the County Magistrate is dead, and the taoist from the Kunlun lineage as well, we can only have the gentry receive them," Lu Tianming sipped so yellow wine and pondered for a mont, "Just attribute the credit to the Great Tortoise Mother and say she advanced, recruiting many Turtle Soldiers. Currently, it’s best not to reveal Heavenly Gate’s existence to the court."
"Without concrete evidence, they can’t do much about us, right?"
"Even if they wanted to, they don’t have the necessary military power, so there’s no need to fear."
Ding Zhijing paused, then laughed, "Indeed, this place is far from the reach of the Emperor. Even during the prosperous tis of the Great Qian Dynasty, not many cared, let alone now."
"A disaster strikes, and the court doesn’t co to help, but after it’s resolved, they want to take over? Where’s the sense in that?"
The group couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"If another County Magistrate cos along, just sideline him."
"Or maybe, Scholar, you should beco the County Magistrate. Since the Great Tortoise Mother deserves credit, a person should too, and that credit would go to your na. If you agree, let’s decide it that way," Lu Tianming said with a smile.
He wasn’t joking. This world had developed to the peak of the feudal era, where gentry, representing clan culture, essentially managed the city.
Since this world valued personal relationships, and the Ding Family was locally reputable, having a well-known local face would make subsequent work much easier.
Of course, under the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, theoretically, a "Scholar" cannot beco an official and could only be a clerk, while a successful candidate could be a low-ranking official, and scholars only qualified for the imperial examination. But now, as long as the credit was significant enough, and this place really lacked officials willing to serve, it beca slightly possible for a Scholar to be a County Magistrate.
Ding Zhijing couldn’t help but rub his hands together; his heart was "thumping" wildly. "Exterminating the Evil God" was such a huge credit, all attributed to him, Ding Zhijing?
Did this group not value it?
This unexpected windfall made him tremble and feel weak. Yes, Heavenly Gate aid to overthrow the entire world; it’s normal for them not to care about this credit...
