Devil's Bible

"Brother Xavier, aren't you leaving this hunting ground?" The underlings had a good haul this time, so they prepared to leave the hunting ground and take their spoils with them.

Xavier, however, did not do that; he planned to observe the Thousand-Change Soul Hunting Grounds for a while longer.

The events involving Lin Rongyang and Han Sheng gave him a lot of inspiration; sometimes stopping might be a better option.

of course……

"This is just Nemes's opinion; in the world of numerology, this kind of goodwill can only be taken advantage of!"

If he were Han Sheng, he could feign agreement, not only avoiding any loss himself, but also releasing the Lin family members and then, a few years later, orchestrating a 'natural disaster' or 'man-made calamity' to wipe out the Lin family.

By then, even if people have some vague guesses, they can hardly take them seriously.

Because that's how it is in the Thousand Transformations Soul place, where there's a small hurdle every ten years.

Once you reach a certain point, a test will come.

If they were all wiped out at that time, that would be considered a normal situation.

This is the approach that minimizes losses.

But the people in this world, or rather, those influenced by Nemes, are all exceptionally 'emotional,' and often they care about... virtue.

“That’s right, character!” The word flashed through Xavier’s mind.

Compared to pure morality, virtue is both a manifestation of morality and requires people to take concrete actions.

When virtue arises, people tend to overlook many human instincts and transcend worldly concerns.

To Xavier and his associates, this was unbelievable, naive, foolish, and ridiculous.

Do they think they are saints?

“It’s like a choice between two options.” Xavier’s inner discipline, however, was more deeply ingrained.

Humans, or most intelligent life forms, are limited by their bodies and have various primal desires.

These primal desires are not much different from those of wild beasts.

However, after the emergence of civilization, humans began to restrain some of their primal desires.

Then, under the influence of civilization, humans gradually developed some simple emotions that were different from those of animals.

Just like in this hunting ground of a thousand souls, the Han family's clan school once taught an article that left a deep impression on the discipline.

He who has no compassion is not human; he who has no sense of shame is not human; he who has no sense of deference is not human; he who has no sense of right and wrong is not human.

Compassion, shame, deference, right and wrong.

Would primal animal instincts say these things?
No, animals only care about satisfying their animalistic desires.

Even if they have the ability to think, all their thoughts are for their own benefit.

Once altruism emerged, 'humans' were distinguished from animals.

The virtues of this world originate from the four hearts, giving rise to the five virtues and various other virtues.

However, upon closer observation, it becomes clear that these virtues are essentially altruistic.

In the final moments of his life, Lin Rongyang did not choose revenge, but instead let go and established a new moral order to ensure the survival of his family.

Even his virtues benefited most families in the region.

This created a buffer zone between family feuds.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this does not bring any benefit to Lin Rongyang himself.

Han Sheng was the same; he complied with the other party's virtues, which brought him some benefits, but also left him with hidden dangers.

Thirty years later, when the Han family faces a tribulation, a genius from the Lin family might emerge and kill him.

“But they all chose altruism,” the disciplined man lamented. In the real world, there are people who can make such a choice, but not many.

It is also impossible for it to be widely promoted and become a law.

The four basic emotions are considered useless by many.

According to the observations of the God of Discipline, there are many among mankind who completely lack these four hearts.

They only care about their own interests and themselves.

"This has led to different choices of civilization!" After some calculations, the God of Discipline vaguely came to a conclusion.

If applied to a larger model, animalistic behavior can actually yield relatively stable returns.

Civilized choices are very likely to be trampled on by bestiality.

Civilization often goes against the basic human desires and instincts.

"But this choice may, to some extent, lead to some 'miracles' and create something that goes beyond the rules."

“Perhaps in this current end times, this choice will have some advantages…” The God of Discipline is not the kind of being who cannot think and whose mind is completely rigid.

Especially after his own failure, he will inevitably take it seriously and analyze the reasons from all aspects.

“But… the larger the scale, the more difficult it is to make changes!” The God of Discipline couldn’t help but think of the Discipline Church, which was undergoing reforms in other worlds.

The rigidity of the disciplined church has, to some extent, startled the God of discipline.

Even when the God of Discipline personally pushes for reform, there are still various overt and covert obstacles.

Although those 'believers' dared not openly oppose the God of Commandments, they 'accidentally' mishandled some of the reform's commands in various situations, and gradually, the entire reform seemed to have gone astray.

Although it seems to be continuing, the efficiency is very slow.

According to Qianbianhun, the ancestral laws cannot be changed.

Even if the ancestors themselves were to make changes, they would encounter great resistance.

The God of Discipline is not yet incapable of promoting reform.

But like Nemes, he only had three months.

He must reform the Discipline Churches in all possible worlds to a certain extent within these three months in order to ensure the fighting strength and faith stability of these churches.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been very confident that he could defeat the sun god.

"It might even be better not to change it at all!" This thought arose in the God of Discipline.

If the reforms are halted and the remaining three months are used to stabilize the church personnel, nobles, and believers using the previous methods, then the fighting strength will not experience unstable fluctuations.

"..." Then the God of Discipline fell silent.

If the timeframe is less than three months, but one month.

Faced with this situation, the God of Discipline might actually be forced to abdicate by these church members and nobles, and the reforms might be halted.

That's the most ironic part of the whole thing.

“I’m not targeting a group of ordinary people, but confronting the impact of my past.”

The God of Discipline sighed, pondered the events within the Thousand Transformations Soul, and the resilience of people under the influence of virtue, and then solidified his idea of ​​reform.

"Hmm?" Just then, the God of Discipline suddenly hummed in agreement, having noticed the unexpected situation.

There seem to be others in Thousand-Change Soul's hunting grounds...

With a thought, the God of Discipline Xavier stepped forward to investigate.

Not far away, several demons were carving something on the ground. (End of Chapter)
