Chapter 166 Klein in the Fifth Age

Although he had decided to consult the Sun God about the matter of change, Rosen had only just arrived in the Fifth Age, and the cooldown time for the keychain's skill hadn't even passed yet, so it was impossible for him to go back immediately.

Secondly, as the saying goes, "sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood." Different social environments require different approaches to change. Even if the Sun God is an expert in this field, if He wants to customize a change plan suitable for this era, He must understand the specific situation of this world. He can't just ignore reality and apply formulas directly.

"So before I go back this time, you can organize the relevant information. It doesn't have to be very detailed, but at least it should be enough for me to build a basic model of this era after I get back," Rosen suggested.

"Okay." Klein nodded quickly, while already planning how to collect relevant gossip in his mind.

For information related to the nobility, you can contact Miss Justice; she definitely understands the nobility system. For information about the Five Seas, you can ask Mr. Hanged Man and Lady Hermit, as well as the various churches.

Rosen continued, "If you really want to completely change the status quo of this world, besides establishing a new order, there is another very important issue: force."

Upon hearing Rosen's words, Klein showed no surprise. He immediately replied, "I know, might makes right. I understand that, and I will strive to become the Lord of Mysteries."

"No, I don't mean to urge you to become the Lord of Mysteries as soon as possible. In fact, you shouldn't be too hasty in this regard. If you're too hasty and end up falling into a deep sleep after becoming the Lord of Mysteries, struggling against the Celestial Venerable in your dreams, then it would be a loss." Rosen shook his head as he said this, looking at Klein and saying earnestly, "After all, I can't stay in this era forever, so the one who leads the changes in this era can only be you. And once you fall into a deep sleep—you can't expect others to firmly carry out your will. At that time, no matter how much you've done before, it may all be in vain."

"—I understand." Klein was silent for a few seconds, then let out a slight sigh, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was indeed a bit too hasty, I—"

He paused, as if calming himself down, as if lost in some memory, and said, "I've heard many people praying these past few days. They are so pitiful, and I feel I should help them. I have the ability, I should do something—"

"You're already helping them!" Rosen abruptly interrupted Klein's recollection, patting him heavily on the shoulder. "Have you forgotten? You've already made a deal with the Goddess of Night, guaranteeing their survival."

Klein seemed to finally break free from his empathy. He sighed and said with a wry smile, "Sorry, I lost my composure. I'll calm down."

Rosen frowned. He could naturally tell what was going on. Klein was the kind of person who was more empathetic to the suffering of others. During this period, with the Church of the Night's extensive promotion of the Fool, the number of believers in the Fool had obviously increased significantly, and among them, there would naturally be no shortage of the poor.

Klein had already been furious after investigating the Loen royal family and discovering their inhumane practices. The inaction of the world's gods only fueled his anger. In this context, he embraced the people's faith, listening to and even witnessing firsthand the suffering they endured.

To understand this, seeing a few pale lines of description in a newspaper is nothing compared to hearing the person involved describe their suffering firsthand, or even witnessing it firsthand.

Witnessing suffering is a completely different concept.

Even people with less-than-ideal moral standards would find it difficult to remain unmoved in the latter situation, let alone a good person like Klein.

If Klein were powerless to change all of this, he could force himself to be an ostrich. But the worst situation is that while he can't directly change the social status quo, he's not someone who can't do anything either.

With such a series of buffs stacked up, it's no wonder Klein lost his composure. He probably had been holding back for a long time before Rosen arrived in this era, wanting to talk to someone, but no one listened—the people of this era wouldn't understand his pain, while the Goddess of the Night understood.

"That's why I've been worried you'd turn into a donkey. Your overly high moral standards are your most fatal weakness." Rosen shook his head, looking at Klein with pity. He then patted Klein's shoulder twice and said, "I know you're angry about the Seven Gods' inaction, but they have their own difficulties. The end of the world is coming, and some of them are not in good condition, while others tend to maintain the status quo to cope with the end of the world—"

"Although I don't like the Seven Gods, I must say something fair: none of them are cowards. Almost every one of them made a significant contribution during the apocalypse. At least in this respect, they fulfilled their responsibilities and are beyond reproach." At this point, Rosen seemed to remember something and added, "Ah, of course, except for the God of War. He died relatively young in his original destiny, but his characteristics also count as a contribution!"

Without the uniqueness of the God of War, Earth cannot synthesize the fourth pillar, and therefore cannot deter the Outer Gods. How can this be?

Can't this be considered a contribution?

Klein looked up at Rosen with some confusion, not understanding why the other party would suddenly bring this up. He also wanted to complain, since the God of War's characteristics were too much to bear.

"What I mean is, if you want to change the status quo of this society, you don't have to treat the Seven Gods as enemies. They can be allies or weapons in your hands." Rosen continued with a smile, "Don't be too prejudiced against the Seven Gods, and don't be too prejudiced against the Seven Churches. Although they are not very good in some aspects, at least ordinary people can live peacefully without being attacked by dangerous beings or monsters, and they deserve some credit for that."

You've probably experienced this firsthand while you've been on night watch.

Klein looked thoughtful upon hearing this, then nodded after a moment and said, "You're right, I was indeed somewhat one-sided before—"

Because of what he had seen and heard, he had indeed been a bit stubborn and regarded the seven gods as inactive scoundrels.

But after hearing Rosen's words and recalling what he had seen and heard in the Night Watch squad, Klein had to admit that the Church was not without its own role; they also had their own area of ​​combat and had made significant contributions in that regard.

It is not a rational thing to blame the seven gods entirely for the terrible state of society.
