"It’s not about giving guidance, but supporting each other and progressing together."
Ma Ran looked at Gray seriously, speaking in a calm tone: "The Earth now and in the future will face countless powerful enemies. Only by abandoning prejudices and uniting our wills can we hope to preserve Earth Civilization."
"So..."
"Let’s encourage each other!"
Upon hearing this, God Gray nodded slightly, his eyes firm: "The current is completely different from before."
"With your help, I have gone through two ’baptisms,’ completely purified my soul, tempered my own will, found my true goal, and understood the aning of my existence."
His transformation indeed was significant.
The original God Gray, although wielding many mysterious powers and being astonishingly powerful, capable of single-handedly destroying a nation, was not truly respected by many.
The root of this was because Gray’s character was too kind, almost saintly, unaware that kindness to the wicked equates to committing a cri.
Such a person was rely a powerful chess piece, used by those with vested interests as a ans to seize more benefits, receiving superficial respect while being seen as the fiercest hound behind his back, even being insulted while others enjoyed his benefits.
After God’s abilities went out of control, Gray, influenced by Superpower Erosion, beca strictly divine in thought, transforming into a stern deity, not hesitating to use ruthless ans.
From then on...
Gray astonishingly discovered that those who "hated" him beca fewer, and more people feared yet admired him.
This phenonon was utterly contrary to his values!
Forrly, in disasters, he went all out to save people, yet was accused of "not giving his all," "arriving too late," "a person capable of saving others but not doing so is akin to a murderer," almost driving Gray to existential crisis, nearly falling into severe depression before his divine thinking set in.
Clearly, he did good deeds but did not receive any good return.
Later on, after his thinking fully divinized, he waged divine wars, causing rivers of blood in the United States’ Extraordinary Realm, nearly wiping out their combat power, affecting even innocent civilians, causing casualties numbering in the hundreds of thousands!
At that ti, "He" was actually revered, loved, and fervently worshipped by many Arican people.
This fervor has persisted to this very day.
The utterly puzzled Gray nearly faced the collapse of his worldview.
Is this soone else’s problem, or is it my own problem?
Or perhaps, it’s the world’s problem?
After resurrection, Gray, unable to arrive at a conclusion through contemplation, instinctively sought guidance from others.
In the United States, there was no life form qualified to illuminate his path.
These people were weaklings, and if he wished, he could blow a large swath dead with a single breath.
Can the weak guide the strong?
Even a clown in a circus wouldn’t crack such a vulgar, lowly joke.
After much thought, Gray eventually contacted Ma Ran, albeit with a heavy heart.
At the ti, he thought, even if Ma Ran killed him several tis to vent his anger, it would be completely understandable.
After all, in the past, under the influence of his divine thinking affected by Superpower Erosion, he had contemplated ruling the Earth and crushing all dissenters.
Though those things never ca to pass, the re thought of them could not be excused by Gray.
However...
Ma Ran’s actions were not what Gray imagined.
The globally acclaid Prophet simply took Gray on a tour of the Earth Civilization Guardian Organization’s daily work and introduced so people for him to et.
Through this process, Gray made many friends.
He finally understood that so people, though low in combat power, also shone in different domains, displaying their own value.
The most typical example being the great literati, Dong Huaiming.
Although Dong Huaiming was of mid-tier strength and cultivation among various Academic Society mbers, which weren’t particularly weak, comparing him to a character like God Gray would be sowhat unfair.
It’s not wrong to say he was powerless to truss a chicken.
From Xiao Ming, God Gray learned two sayings.
The first was "A favor extended in a bushel, a hatred returned tenfold!"
The second was "Barbarians fear might but not virtue, holding small manners but no great righteousness!"
These two sayings truly relieved the doubts in Gray’s mind.
Though one of them carried a mysterious sense of superiority that made him slightly uncomfortable, it at least allowed Gray to understand the root of all he faced in the United States.
One reason was that he, with a comprehensive approach, always wanted to do everything well and ended up doing too much.
Another reason was the mindset of the Arican people, which had issues and needed...
Just forget it.
Thinking about these things holds no significance.
After all, Gray himself had similar problems.
If Ma Ran hadn’t killed him once and demonstrated superior power, he probably wouldn’t have sought Ma Ran for answers.
So...
Past events are past; living in the present is what truly matters.
God Gray collected his thoughts, his eyes clear and bright, seeming to have realized so life philosophy, his face full of determination.
He joined the Guardian Organization, a gathering of wise minds, where he could learn many useful knowledge and ideas.
He would continue to progress, defending Earth Civilization from the hands of outer star invaders, and then...
Make the world a better place!
Gray believed that if he could achieve that, he could atone for the mistakes he made in the past.
At this mont, Ma Ran beside him raised an eyebrow: "Your current state is very familiar to ."
"It seems you have solidified your true heart and found your life goal."
"In reality..."
"You are more confused than before."
Gray started, regained his composure, then smiled and shook his head: "Prophet, you’re wrong this ti."
"I have clarified my true heart, to atone for everything I have done in the past."
"This is my life’s aning and entire pursuit!"
Hearing this, Ma Ran’s expression remained indifferent, his tone as calm as ever: "Atonent? That’s an empty concept."
"Due to Superpower Erosion, after your thinking divinized, you beca cold and ruthless, an exalted deity, always ready to kill, but..."
"Even so, those who died by your hand were certainly not all innocent; there were many among them who weren’t worth saving." "Tell , who do you plan to atone to? How will you atone?"
Gray instinctively wanted to speak of the theory he had pondered before—learning, protecting, then making the world better.
But as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized...
This theory, though it sounded right, was, in essence, very hollow and unrealistic, with no details, no clear goals, vague, and lacked executability.
The title-bearing God of the Extraordinary One began to doubt his existence—perhaps... Ma Ran understood him better than he did himself?
"Don’t get entangled in this matter."
Ma Ran calmly glanced at Gray, making a gesture for Instant Teleportation: "Ti is almost up."
"Next, I’ll take you to et soone."
