A soldier who didn't want to be a general wasn't a good soldier. Perhaps this was a popular saying, but if it really became a reality, it would definitely be a disaster.
In any organization or faction, everyone needed to have their own position. If everyone wanted the highest position … then the organization wouldn't be able to do anything other than fight amongst itself.
"Of course we want to be the boss. But don't think that we'll submit to anyone else. We won't compromise on this at all."
The voices of a young boy and a young girl, a God and a God's child, resonated with each other. Twins had completely different genders and personalities, but there was one thing that they both instinctively insisted on.
Was this pride? Was this arrogance that didn't know how high the heavens were? Rorschach and Lori were unable to tell, but they knew that they refused to obey from the bottom of their hearts.
Friends? Sure, we love making friends the most. More friends means more options.
Superiors? Or were they feudal superiors who could order you to die as they pleased? Ah … Ptui!
If Lori could compromise and was willing to compromise, she wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation. If she was willing to compromise and become a Follower God of a certain "God Faction Seed", she wouldn't have had to lead a group of friends and siblings to develop a wasteland in a remote village.
Everyone knew that accompanying the crown prince in his studies and working as a civil servant in the palace was much more comfortable, safer, and had a stable income and a bright future than running around on a three-wheeled motorcycle.
The only advantage of running around on their own was that they didn't have to lower their heads so easily. Life and death depended on their own honor and disgrace. Perhaps it was this seemingly foolish freedom that made the siblings so stubborn.
Lori was like this, and Rorschach was even worse.
He came from Earth and received an education that taught everyone to be equal. Actually, Rorschach himself knew that it was impossible for pure equality to exist. However, he was still unable to accept turning others into vassals, property, and slaves.
This was Rorschach's bottom line, which had never been shaken.
Naturally, such a way of thinking was incompatible with this world. If you didn't want to compromise, you would either change the world or allow the world to change you.
Rorschach, on the other hand, was obviously the former. He had single-handedly pushed for the reform of enterprises within the Game Church, creating a comfortable and equal environment around him.
He didn't idealize the Garden of Eden where everyone was equal. The bottom line of his current pursuit was to work in exchange for remuneration in an enterprise and an employment relationship.
Loli and Roxia both wanted to stand at the very top. However, they definitely didn't want to be at the top like other Gods wanted. Rather than saying that they wanted to be the God Kings of the old generation, Loli and Roxia wanted to be at the chairman's table.
"Since there are no precedents, we'll just forge it ourselves."
If not for this ambition, he wouldn't have pushed for such a huge plan like Novodonia in one go.
Without a doubt, Vila Nova Dônia was the Game Church's plan to reach the heavens in one step. However, it was also a plan to establish a divine system and allow Lori to ascend to the throne.
Yes, it was such a huge ambition that a divine system had to be established. Not only that, but it also had to be established with Lori and the Game Church as the core.
If a snake swallowing an elephant could be considered arrogant, then what Rorschach wanted to do back then could be described as a snake swallowing a whale … Yet, they had inconceivably succeeded.
They had gained something without risking anything. Coincidentally, the Game Church and Vila Nova Dônia had both survived the most difficult and cruel baptism and entered a golden age of rapid development.
If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a long period of incubation and accumulation.
While communicating with the outside world, the various churches in Dounia City naturally strengthened their ties with each other. In the end, the embryonic form of a new divine system was formed, and the Game Church, which had the right to advocate and lead, naturally became one of the core members.
Whether or not they could ascend to the throne would depend on both luck and strength. However, if they followed Rorschach and Lori's original plan, the success rate could still be expected.
The only thing they didn't expect was the existence of Titan and the no man's land.
The huge amount of wealth and unknown opportunities attracted the arrival of powerful individuals. Once they arrived, all their plans were changed by the situation.
These powerful individuals were all highly experienced Gods. Of course, they could see that Vila Nova Dônia was establishing a divine system and its future potential. If it weren't for the fact that Titan's influence was so important, they would also be happy to see the rise of a new faction.
Now … what they were most likely thinking about was how to snatch the fruits of their labor. Perhaps in their eyes, this territory was ownerless, or perhaps they didn't even care about the small and medium-sized local churches at all. After all, they weren't even on the same level … But in reality, not only had someone been eyeing this place for a long time, they had also paid a great price.
They spent so much effort to stay on the twenty-member board of directors and become the leader of the third-rate churches in the city. This was the Game Church's compromise, as well as their struggle.
The system of the board of directors was originally decided upon when Vila Nova Dônia was first established. The person who drafted it was none other than Rorschach himself. This was also the future political system that Rorschach and the Game Church hoped would be the new city.
Even if they couldn't control the establishment of the board of directors, they would at least be able to obtain a seat to listen in. At the very least, they would have the possibility to continue hiding.
They had been hiding for several years in order to accumulate enough power for the moment when they would explode.
Vila Nova Dônia was the new blood of Rorschach and his sister, as well as the source of life for their younger sister, Lori. It was impossible for them to give up on it.
Faced with powerful competitors who weren't even on the same level as them, Rorschach and the Game Church could only try their best to farm and accumulate power. After all, the other side of being inexperienced and weak was that there was plenty of room for growth.
At the same time, they prayed seriously that the bigwigs wouldn't find anything in the no man's land and would eventually choose to give up.
Then, naturally, Vila Nova Dônia's value would greatly decrease. The bigwigs would either withdraw their shares or split up.
Rorschach's previous actions were to push the boat along with the current and worsen the situation. He didn't add any low-level lies in his report and narration. All he did was describe the hostility and hidden strength of the volcano in detail. This allowed Eagle Crown to make their own judgment.
He had made the right bet. Eagle Crown had indeed chosen to give up on the volcano area. However, it was obvious that Eagle Crown hadn't given up on the entire no man's land. Instead, in order to increase the exploration of the entire area, they were prepared to rope in other small and medium-sized churches in Vila Nova Dônia.
This was no longer the embryonic form of a new god system. It was an official god system that was being fused together by documents and alliances.
Perhaps Lori and Rorschach's hard work had moved the bigwigs, or perhaps the bigwigs felt that Rorschach's talents were too powerful and had to be controlled. The bigwigs were very 'friendly' and took the lead in extending an olive branch to Rorschach and the Game Church.
"The God of Culture, the leader of the culture-related gods."
This was a very good priesthood. At least it sounded more reliable than the Game Church's priesthood. Furthermore, based on the current size of the Game Church, this was even a bribe.
Unfortunately, Lori and Rorschach had never intended to give up on the Game Church's priesthood. From the very beginning, they didn't want to be part of another god system.
At this time, Eagle Crown, who didn't know how to read people, still handed over this huge publicity mission to this' professional. 'It was like handing the key to a goldfish bowl to a hungry stray cat.
