People are collapsing, and Mebius is my ex-girlfriend?

Therefore, she quickly saw through the essence of the Honkai Cult, and realized that it was ultimately because the people lacked confidence in the future and were instinctively seeking a spiritual sustenance. They hoped that the almighty Honkai God could save everyone in the future, rather than plunging the entire world into an era of cold fear.

But this kind of reliance is false. After experiencing the last failure, Aponia is more convinced of this. Relying only on the spiritual "beautiful utopia" cannot save mankind. What civilization needs is definitely not a cradle that drowns everyone, but knowing that the road ahead is tortuous, but still striding forward until reaching an unimaginable destination...

That is the real ideal hometown, the real utopia!

A beautiful paradise is created with your own hands, not obtained by praying to God!

I must tell everyone this this time, to make people realize that false comfort will only lead to futility and abyss!

"The last time Ling Lu established the Twilight Cult, it seemed like he did it by relying on my reputation, which means I can totally replicate the same thing again." Aponiya thought slowly.

"But I am not good at interpersonal relationships and don't know how to spread the teachings."

"It would be great if there was someone with this talent who could help me and give my plan a boost..."

As Aponya was thinking, he suddenly found a message coming from the game interface.

[In the tenth year since the collapse, you discovered a thief had sneaked into the sanatorium and you caught him red-handed]

[Faced with your attitude, the thief showed extreme fear, but he kept talking about all kinds of crooked reasons, trying to escape the punishment you brought]

[When you see the thief, you inexplicably feel that his eloquence is very suitable for being a religious propagandist, at least better than you who are totally inarticulate.]

[You suggest that the other party should promote Twilight Cult instead of being punished, otherwise you will report the matter to the local police]

[Your talent - activate with words and commandments]

The thief agreed with you.

[After a conversation, you learned that the thief you caught was named Padofelius, and that he was also born on Dusk Street.]

"Padophilis..."

Seeing this name, Aponia vaguely recalled the last round of simulation. She had also seen this child in the Church of Twilight. He was originally stealing things at the church headquarters, so she caught him and forced him to become a member of the church. Later, he entered the Eternal Paradise with everyone else. She didn't know what the final result was.

From the fact that Aponia couldn't remember anything, it could be seen that he was most likely killed in the Battle of Paradise, in the battle with the Herrscher of Corrosion.

After all, a large number of people died in that battle, and even Dr. Mobius died in that disaster.

Aponia sighed deeply and stopped herself from recalling her last failure. In comparison, she had obviously learned her lesson this time and would not make the same mistake again!

At the same time, in Ling Lu’s picture.

[As the Wandering Plan progresses, the chaos in the world deepens. You try to use force to suppress the chaos, but it causes even larger protests.]

[Just when you decided to become a tyrant and force the whole world to follow your footsteps, an organization called Twilight Cult suddenly had an impact on the whole world.]

[The Saint of the Twilight Cult is a staunch supporter of the Wandering Earth Project. She preaches that the project is the blessing of God and begins to quickly gain influence among the believers, providing positive motivation for all Twilight Cult supporters.]

[With the emergence of the Twilight Cult, the world order rises]

"Is this okay?"

Ling Lu looked at the screen with a confused look on his face. He finally realized what it meant to defeat magic with magic.

Chapter 154: The Day the First Engine Was Completed! The Third Herrscher Arrives!

"Aponia actually created the Twilight Cult again. How did she do it alone?"

Ling Lu was confused. "Although I have thought about using the power of religion to calm the chaos in the world before, I am too busy with the affairs of the Fire Moth to spare any time to use religious power..."

Being so surprised by this sudden event, Ling Lu couldn't help but take the initiative to open the world intelligence in the game interface and check the situation of the Dusk Cult.

It can be said that the newly emerged Dusk Cult is very different from the previous Ling Lu Cult. The difference between the two can be clearly seen by just looking at the basic religious structure.

The structure of the Twilight Cult created by Ling Lu is in a sense very centralized. He is the only one who leads the entire organization and controls all aspects of its development. No one below him, not even Aponya, can get involved.

But the Twilight Cult today not only has a loose structure and decentralized power, but it doesn't even have a definition of power. It is a completely loose organization that is forcibly held together by Aponya's reputation and ability.

This made Ling Lu very confused. Why could such a loose organizational structure be able to develop at a speed no less than his previous Twilight Sect? This did not conform to the development laws of general organizations.

When he clicked on the main interface of the Twilight Cult, this question was quickly answered, because in the list of members of the Twilight Cult, in addition to Aponia, the symbolic saint, there was another person, Padofelius, who was a religious organizer.

It can be said that after looking at the entire development trajectory of the Twilight Religion, Ling Lu can be sure that Pado is the one who mainly supports the entire religion and allows the Twilight Religion to develop rapidly at its current momentum.

【Padofilis】

[Identity: Organizer of the Twilight Cult]

【Location: Dusk Street】

[Age: 18 years old]

[Intelligence: 83], [Politics: 35], [Physical Fitness: 76], [Force: 18], [Command: 25], [Charm: 79], [Luck: 92], [Honkai Adaptability: 86]

[Personality: Lively, timid]

[Attribute entries: flying over eaves and walls, magical skills, sweet talk]

[Status: Happy and proud]

Ling Lu took a look at all the awakenings, and then looked closely at the attribute entries.

[Flying over the eaves and walls: When no one is paying attention, the movement speed will be greatly increased]

[Empty Hands: Can steal what you want without attracting anyone's attention. Judgment is based on intelligence, physical fitness and luck, among which luck has the highest weight.]

[Sweet talk: can make people understand the meaning of the words as quickly as possible, and the effect will not decrease depending on the number of people.]

[The character of Padofelice has three attribute talents at the same time, and these three talents can be linked to each other - Good Luck Coin]

[Lucky Coins: When the character's luck value is high enough and the talent contains three non-positive terms, this talent can be triggered at any time. The character will continuously generate lucky coins when taking actions. Positive lucky coins can trigger various major success events. Negative lucky coins will not produce obvious negative effects, but nothing good will happen in the short term.]

[You are a born thief, you can even steal good luck]

[But you must remember that fate will give you gifts, but sooner or later it will take them back. Only by sticking to your heart can you follow through.]

"So that's it?"

Through Padofelius's talent, Ling Lu quickly deduced the reason why he was able to lead the Dusk Cult to take off.

Although Padofelius does not know how to manage, the way he runs the Twilight Cult is like street thugs forming gangs, they call each other "big brother" and "big sister" and then come together to form a team.

But Pado's luck and talent are too high. Even if the other party does not have any specific operations, just blindly promotes the Twilight Cult, and various unexpected events will trigger the lucky coins, and then he will encounter good things that fall from the sky.

For example, this one.

[In the ninth year of the Collapse, Padofilis promoted the Dusk Cult on Dusk Street. Because the weather was too cold, he moved a stove and sat at the door. This unexpectedly attracted homeless people who were also trapped by the cold. The warm stove brought warmth, and Padofilis's religious propaganda was a great success, attracting a large number of determined fanatics.]

Look at the next one.

[Ten years after the collapse, Padufilis was preparing to promote the Twilight Cult outside of Twilight Street, but she accidentally ran into the speech of the Environmentalist Girl in the Western Alliance. Because she got the wrong venue for the speech, she accidentally broke into the Environmentalist Girl's podium and talked about everything about the Twilight Cult in a careless manner. Because she was too friendly and sincere, she quickly attracted a large number of people who were interested in the Twilight Cult.]

in this way.

Similar good luck occurred frequently in Padua's missionary history. It can be said that he created a world-class religion completely by doing nothing.

As the previous Pope, Ling Lu had a complicated mentality about this.

Of course, no matter how complicated it is, he is still very glad that Pado was able to help Aponia establish the Twilight Cult again. After all, the world situation is so chaotic now, and the emergence of the Twilight Cult can be said to have greatly eased the balance pressure of the Fire Moth, making it easier to deal with terrorists and maintain the safety of the Wandering Earth plan.

[In the twelfth year after the collapse, with the rapid expansion of the Dusk Cult, various cult organizations such as the "Cult of the God of the Collapse", "Cult of the End of the World", "Cult of the Galactic Federation", and "Cult of the Earth Homeland" were eliminated one after another. Most of the members were absorbed into the Dusk Cult and received the guidance of Saint Aponia.]

[In order to prevent anyone from attacking Aponia, the Fire Moth secretly sent out poisonous pupae to protect Aponia, with specifications comparable to those of the Fire Moth's top brass]

[In the same year, the first planetary engine was built on the Eurasian continent. The huge building structure blocked out the sun and the eyes of the world were fixed on this planetary engine, waiting for the ignition to begin.]

[All representatives of the United Nations Organization, please pay attention to the progress of this lighting ceremony]

Ling Lu soon discovered that the game interface had shifted to the entire Earth. In the center of the huge blue planet, an obvious huge building had appeared at some point, a device that looked like a launch tube and was supported by various metal structures.

This is the first planetary engine that has been built, and it is also the sample for all subsequent planetary engines. Only if this engine is successfully ignited can the Wandering Earth Project have the possibility of being truly implemented!

[On the day when the first engine was officially completed, the Third Herrscher arrived! ]

Chapter 155: The Herrscher of Thunder is dead? The planetary engine ignites!

Trouble is coming!

When Dr. Mei saw the development of the game, his expression immediately became nervous, realizing that what followed would be a critical development in this simulation.

The first planetary engine is not only the starting point of the entire Wandering Earth Project, but also the confidence support for the entire human civilization in the Wandering Earth Project.

If the ignition of this first engine is successful, it will mean that the entire Wandering Earth plan has the possibility of being implemented, and the entire plan can be further developed in the future, and no one will express a negative attitude.

But if the ignition of this first planetary engine fails, I am afraid that without any external judgment, the Fire Moth itself will lose confidence in the Wandering Earth plan.

That would inevitably bring severe damage to human civilization as a whole.

In the previous simulation, Ling Lu created the Dusk Cult and implemented the Digital Ascension Plan. At the end of the Digital Ascension Plan, humans almost entered a dead end. If Aponia had not reacted and responded in time, the end of humans in that simulation would have been doomed to euthanasia. This is enough to show how difficult it is for civilization to advance. One wrong step may lead to complete destruction and abyss.

This time, if the Wandering Earth plan had problems from the beginning, the Fire Moth would probably not have the energy to carry out other plans, and this simulation would probably collapse halfway and end in a dead end.

The advancement of civilization requires confidence and driving force. Only by keeping moving forward can it avoid being completely swallowed up by the surging waves.

Dr. Mei has been deeply aware of this through many simulations, so he is naturally extremely concerned about the ignition of this planetary engine.

[Before the planetary engine ignition ceremony began, the Third Herrscher suddenly appeared in the Far East, causing huge damage, and rushed directly towards the Eurasian continent]

[The existence of the planetary engine greatly stimulated the will of Honkai, causing a large number of Honkai beasts to appear throughout the Eurasian continent, causing great destruction and chaos]

[The Fire Moth cannot handle all the Honkai at the same time, and cannot disperse its forces and move its troops away from the planetary engine, falling into a very passive situation.]

"How do we deal with this?"

Mebius frowned.

Like Mei, she was very concerned about the ignition of the first planetary engine, but the reason for her concern was not abstract things like the future of civilization and confidence in civilization. She simply felt that since it was the first planetary engine, it would inevitably be the focus of Honkai.

The result was exactly as she had guessed. Honkai could not sit idly by and watch humans embark on such an astonishing plan, and was determined to stop it at all costs.

Although Mebius predicted all this, he had no good way to solve the problem.

After all, she had not yet invented the stigmata during this period, let alone the super-mutation factor technology. With only the level of human technology, it was simply impossible to fight against Honkai and the Herrscher.

However, when Mobius wanted to see Ling Lu and ask him how he planned to deal with the Honkai, he found that Ling Lu was just sitting quietly in the office of the Fire Moth Engineering Department, as if he was completely unaware of the Honkai crisis at the moment, and did not care about the ignition of the first planetary engine.

Seeing his attitude, Mebius instantly fainted.

What was Ling Lu planning to do? Was he igniting the planetary engine? You had to know that the third Herrscher was already heading towards the engine and could destroy the engine at any time. If the Herrscher really destroyed it with his power, the consequences would be disastrous.

Even if the planetary engine is rebuilt afterwards, not to mention the loss of time and resources, the entire human civilization will suffer a major blow. A large number of opponents will take the opportunity to emerge and trip up the Fire Moth, greatly delaying the implementation of the entire Wandering Earth plan.

Moreover, in Mebius' previous simulations, it was clear how talented humans are in causing trouble for their own people. They used various means one after another, taking the nature of internal strife to the extreme, and they would inevitably take advantage of this incident to make various excuses.

Mobius quickly gave Ling Lu advice, asking him to find a way to deal with the Third Herrscher and the Honkai crisis as soon as possible.

But Ling Lu had no attitude towards this.

He just spoke calmly.

[“Dr. Mobius, have you ever seen magic?”]

【"What?"】

[Faced with Ling Lu's sudden question, Mebius was confused]

[“Magic is a performing art that focuses on constant changes that make people unpredictable and bring surprises to the audience. In essence, it is based on scientific principles, uses specially made props, and cleverly combines various skills such as visual communication and psychology to create all kinds of incredible and unpredictable phenomena, thereby achieving an artistic effect that is indistinguishable from the real thing.”]

[“No, why are you teaching me magic at this time?”]

[“It’s just that my wife has been nagging me to perform various magic shows recently. To be honest, I can figure out the secrets of most of them after watching them, but in order to take care of her feelings, I pretend not to know most of the time and act surprised.”]

"..."

Mebius was silent.

She felt like she was being fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason, or like someone had poured a mouthful of vinegar into her mouth, and her eyes were almost turning green.

In contrast, Ling Lu is not simply expressing the emotional problems between himself and Wei Wei here.

He continued to speak.

“The first planetary engine. This project is essentially a magic trick. I got inspiration from Vivi and created this huge magic show.”

"When I told Weiwei about my plan, I could see her excitement with my naked eyes, and she quickly agreed to the plan. It was exciting to think about using a planetary engine to perform a magic show."

[“What do you want to say?”]

Mebius couldn't help but speak. She really didn't understand why Ling Luqi kept emphasizing the word magic to her.
