People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 997: Beulah gets the heroine's script

Andorn curled his lips and shook his head to express his opinion:

“We should not simply deny it, but look for new solutions based on it.”

"You misunderstood. I am not denying it completely. I acknowledge the integrity and excellence of the Lateran religious structure."

Beulah raised the drink beside her, took a sip, and said leisurely, "But our own path, no one stipulates that it must be built on an existing foundation. The saints could walk on this land and build the present Lateran, so why can't we do it now?"

"You really are...ambitious." Andorn commented as tactfully as possible.

He felt that although Beulah had a good fighting spirit, she was still a little too young and inevitably had a bit of the arrogance of a young person.

If the so-called new way out could be opened up so easily, there would have been more than one holy city, Lateran, in this land.

If he had to count other things, Andorn only recognized the Kazdel Nursing Home established by Qi Yan.

Rumor has it that there, all beings are truly equal under the same rules, and any race can find their own way out in the nursing home.

Beulah heard the hidden meaning in Andorn's words, but she didn't take it to heart.

Looking back on her experiences during this period, anyone who heard it would find it outrageous.

"Beulah, can you tell me more about your religion and how it was founded?" Andorn decided to explore it in more depth.

"That's a long story."

When the topic came to this point, Beulah couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness and reminiscence on her face.

As she recalled, she told the story:

“In fact, I was not like this before. I was once an ordinary beautiful girl, born in a relatively wealthy family in Victoria.

My mother passed away early, and I was raised by my father. Later, with the help of my father's influence, I joined the Duke's army and became a civilian. Later, I started dating a boyfriend who had a very high status in the eyes of ordinary people.

I thought I could live my life happily like this, but the result is unpredictable. "

"That war..."

Andorn bowed his head slightly, expressing sympathy to Beulah.

Seeing this, Beulah waved her hands repeatedly and said disdainfully:

"Don't make it seem like my life is so miserable. Even if the war broke out, I wasn't thrown into the battlefield. I'd still be hiding in the back and idling around."

"Then how did you become what you are now?" Andorn looked suspicious.

The Beulah in front of him definitely did not have the attitude that someone who was just hanging around in the Duke of Victoria's army should have.

What's more, Andorn didn't think that any duke would be so embarrassed that he needed his subordinates to establish a religion to win over the hearts of the people.

"Well, after all, it's still my unlucky ex-boyfriend." Beulah curled her lips, "That guy was involved in an incident, and although he saved his life, he was alienated and became a marginal figure, and disappeared quietly from my world.

His departure made me realize that little people like us are so fragile. I was suddenly so scared that one day I would become a mark on the casualty register.

So, I escaped.”

"Escaped?"

"Yes, after thinking hard for several days and pulling out a lot of hair from my head and tail, I finally came up with a crazy escape plan."

Beulah said with a little smug smile: "Although I still needed some external help to succeed in the end, it doesn't matter. In the end, I am still who I am now."

"You now?" Andorn didn't quite understand.

"The me of the past is in the past. The me of the present is sitting in front of you, eating cake and drinking beverage, chatting with you, a friend I met by chance."

Beulah raised the drink in her hand to Andorn and said, "My friend, when I first saw you, I felt that you looked aggrieved, as if you had just been beaten. Why make things difficult for yourself? Just smile more."

Andorn: "..."

Is there a possibility that is not an illusion, but a fact?

Not only was he physically hit by Sargon's tail, but he was also mentally frightened by Qilin's gaze.

Beulah was a little surprised: "No, you really got beaten? Was it because of the difference in religious beliefs?"

"Let me first tell you how you founded your religion."

Andorn brought the topic back on track somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk in detail, Beulah guessed that it was the man's face at work, and did not force him to pursue it.

She took a big gulp of her drink and continued her story contentedly:

“After escaping from the army, I successfully came to my current company, but under the war, the so-called paradise is just a place for people to survive.

To be honest, I felt a little regretful at the beginning. Why should I scare myself and jump out of my comfort zone?

But there, I met an old man who guarded this pure land and protected the hope of survival for the people living there. "

"He sounds like a respectable old man." Andoen said with admiration, "So he was the one who guided you to establish a religion? He is the guardian of the virtual godhood you created?"

Beulah chuckled as if she had heard something funny:

"The old man has no interest in becoming a god. All he cares about is whether his daughter can give him a grandson."

Andorn realized that he had misunderstood and couldn't help but smile.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

It is rare that the company can still have such a strong atmosphere of life after the upheaval of war.

Beulah laughed for a while, then gradually stopped laughing and recalled:

"But it's not enough just like that. Although being able to survive is a blessing that many people long for, I'm not satisfied. I'm afraid that one day I'll become a nobody who has no control over my own life.

I want to climb up, I want to climb step by step, I want to become a big person who can control my own life!

I walked around the company's land, listened to people's demands, and thought about what this place needed. They came together to survive, but what does it mean to be alive? "

Beulah took a deep breath and said in a deep voice without giving Andorn a chance to interrupt:

“The company’s founder gave them hope for survival, but the founder was too far away from them, so far that they felt lost.

I pulled the founder's shadow down from the lofty clouds and forcefully implanted it into the hearts of these people, so that they had a goal to follow and worship. I brought them faith and motivation, allowed them to transform their living environment, and gave them the knowledge that they were still truly living on this land.

Even though...the founder never even glanced at them."

"God does not look at people." Andorn said softly.

"That's not true."

Beulah shook her head in denial.

The man in her family could really beat people up, and he would even sneak into the cafeteria to steal food. He once climbed through her window in the middle of the night and got beaten up by her.

Qi Yan never looked at people. He always mixed into the crowd, laughing and making trouble.

This was one of the main reasons why Beulah was disappointed with the religion here after arriving in Lateran.

"Andoin, you said that there is an existence that cannot bring us practical help. Whether it is God or your Sakota's laws, He cannot help us. Why should we follow Him?"

Andoin hesitated for a moment and replied:

“The power of faith does not come from the goal it follows, but from the believers themselves.”

"I agree with this. Anyone who believes in our Qi Sect can join us."

Beulah nodded, but then shook her head. "What about the followers of the Lateran faith?"

"…Latlan will not bless any race other than Sakota." Andorn replied.

"In that case, do you think it is a problem with the various races on this land, or a problem with Lateran law?" Beulah asked again.

"...It's naturally not the problem of the Ten Thousand Races."

"So, I say that the Lateran religion and laws are nothing!"

This time, Andon did not rush to refute or express his opinion. He just lowered his head and lost himself in thought.

Beulah slurped up the drink in the cup and said slowly:

"Andoen, I am somewhat confident in my ability to judge people. If I am not mistaken, you are here to seek answers to your doubts."

"That's right." Andorn admitted frankly.

"But the answers won't save you."

"I don't understand."

“It’s actually very simple to get the answer, but the answer is a result that has already been determined. What if it ultimately disappoints you?”

Beulah placed the empty cup on the table and placed her slender fingers on the rim, causing it to tilt precariously on the table.

Beulah half-leaned on the table, her chin resting on her free hand, and stared at the empty cup in front of her with amusement.

"I'm telling you about my own experiences. My choices and decisions were all filled with recklessness and arrogance. It was because I thought I had found the standard answer to the game. As long as I got there, everything would have a result."

The young woman's voice seemed a little ethereal to Andorn's ears: "But, when I grasped the answer, I found that this was not the end, but the beginning.

You and I, we are all people who are struggling to find a way out. Behind us and around us are too many confused people, and in front of us is an untouchable figure.

Andoen, don't abandon everything and chase after them just because you saw their backs. They are just walking on their own path, which is only suitable for them. "

"I never thought of chasing after that figure, but there are many secrets that I cannot know, and I want to find the truth." Andorn explained.

"You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me. There is a silhouette in your eyes." Beulah was sure, "That silhouette may not be a living person. It may just be some special existence or some special meaning."

The empty cup lost its balance due to Beulah's fingertips and was about to fall over, but was caught by Beulah in time.

Andorn slowly closed his eyes.

He whispered, "Yes, there is a being that has been blocking my way. I need to find out what the law of Sakota is."

“And then?” Beulah demanded.

"And then... I will get an answer, and if that answer is enough to guide me, I will give it everything I have."

Andorn's eyes reopened: "If not, I will surpass it and open up a new path for all my fellow countrymen who have suffered."
