Then, Little Bee's desires surged, and he became an artificial demon.

After that, Mocania actually began to fear making mistakes.

Encouraged by Isabella, she overcame her self-imposed isolation, which had led her to believe she was a vessel for sealing demons.

They also realized that their identities were different.

Therefore, Mocania would carefully consider each action before taking it.

He was genuinely afraid that after he took the initiative to do something, the person he was helping would say something like, "Your help has ulterior motives," or that the help itself would bring other losses.

The negative impact of those losses made Mocania feel that it was her fault.

Therefore, it is better to do nothing in the first place than to do something wrong and cause negative consequences.

This mindset itself wasn't particularly prominent, but as he created a world and began to shoulder the weight of so many lives within it, he realized he couldn't bear it.

The pressure of responsibility pushed this mindset to the forefront.

It was only then that Mocania realized how serious her mental state problem was.

Of course, the most important point is that it's not just about being afraid of causing losses through one's actions.

Mocania also discovered that she lacked a certain kind of courage.

Mocania herself didn't know why this was the case.

So during this time, he spent his time in the valley in introspection and reflection.

Unfortunately, although decades had passed in the small world, only a little over two days had passed for him.

In two days, he cannot possibly negate his entire life and then resolve his psychological vulnerabilities.

Only through more experiences can his mind be gradually refined.

For example, if Mocania had chosen to be more assertive when faced with a second instance of moral blackmail, and subsequently received positive feedback, then this mindset issue could have been somewhat improved.

If there are more similar incidents, then perhaps his problem can be solved.

But in that instant, Mocania saw countless people, and saw their lives become bargaining chips held in his hands.

He is willing to risk his life for them, whether it's fighting or sacrificing himself.

His will is extremely firm, and he will continue on his path.

Mocania hesitated, tempted by the possibility of using their lives as leverage for a high-stakes gamble.

He lacks the experience to not just lead a team, but to manage a large number of people.

And what about the enemy?

The real enemy has not yet arrived; they are still outside the world.

And now the enemy? It's a part of the life he created.

Mocania was at a loss as to how to deal with them.

And so things have turned out the way they are today.

The shepherd realized he had lost his composure. Regardless of how useless the god Mocania might be, the power he wielded was undeniable.

Furthermore, he would need to leverage the other party's power to help the soldier and ensure his safe rescue of Sleeping Beauty.

"Lord Nia, I hope to gain your approval and support." The shepherd didn't say anything else, but earnestly stated the purpose of his trip.

"On one hand, it's for my friends, and on the other hand, it's to change the current state of the world."

"I am willing to dedicate my life to restraining those nobles and restoring the world to its proper course!" the shepherd vowed.

Mocania also forgot about her earlier slight lapse in composure.

He wasn't the type to hold grudges.

Therefore, he did not hold a grudge against the shepherd for his previous offense.

Mocania couldn't help but start to think about the shepherd's words.

He was confident in his judgment that a world war would break out soon.

At this point, can his world really withstand drastic reforms?

Currently, if reforms are too drastic, a large number of nobles will die as a result.

Will this level of internal strife erode their already limited fighting strength?

Secondly, will this dampen the nobles' enthusiasm for fighting against enemies from another world?

Mocania instinctively began to consider these things.

However, Mocania soon realized that the situation in this world was already very bad.

Reform is imperative.

With the shepherd's support this time, he might succeed.

Chapter 593 A Double Mental Dilemma

According to Mocania, it's best not to make any rash moves unless absolutely necessary.

A battle is about to break out; maintaining stability is the best course of action.

But what these nobles had done before was truly disgusting.

A great deal of resources were wasted on maintaining their distinction from ordinary people.

Even when winter came and most of the common people starved to death, they turned a blind eye.

This situation is, to some extent, even worse than that of the nobles under the rule of the church.

“I’m a reformer.” Mocania hadn’t forgotten her initial goal—to defeat Nems and then use that achievement to reform the church, thereby further restraining the power of the church nobles and preventing the vast majority of ordinary people from being persecuted so badly.

“This Mocania.” In the Garden World, Nemus watched all this from a tiny perspective and couldn’t help but laugh.

It must be said that Mocania is indeed a qualified clown, successfully bringing him joy.

“Mocania’s problem is that he’s caught in a double mental dilemma,” Nemes analyzed the intelligence.

One of the inner struggles is Mocania's own; he comes from an ordinary background, is kind, but has limited education.

Because of his special circumstances and identity, he was unable to shoulder too much responsibility, and he was afraid of letting others down, which led to this situation.

Essentially, it's normal, and it might not even be that serious, after all, he's a young man.

All of my growth over the years has been in frontline guerrilla warfare.

They are brave and daring, but they have never truly engaged in power struggles. They have an idealistic view of everything, so it's normal for them to be at a loss when faced with real situations.

Another kind of mental predicament is caused by external forces.

That's the crux of the problem.

"The essence of the God of Discipline is to let him deal with me, not to let him reform the church."

"Therefore, fate controlled him like a puppet on a string."

"In addition, I have been urging him to look for problems within the church."

"Therefore, the God of Discipline simply imposed restrictions on him in this regard."

Mocania is the puppet of the God of Discipline, and puppets cannot oppose their masters.

The church is the property of the God of Commandments.

The nobility were part of this property.

Therefore, as a puppet, Mocania cannot arbitrarily take forceful action against the upper echelons of the church.

The word 'without authorization' says it all.

This explains Mocania's weakness towards the upper classes.

This aspect creates a psychological dilemma, which is also projected onto the nobles in the fairy tale world.

Lacking experience in power struggles, possessing high moral standards, and instinctively restrained from being assertive towards the upper classes.

Therefore, he could only contemplate his true intentions—reform—in this weak manner.

Under this dual psychological predicament, he was unable to analyze his own heart like Nemes did, and the psychological predicament affected his cognition.

The influenced perceptions began to construct this world, and so the world eventually returned to a familiar situation in Mocania.

Morality and law are likened to the church, and the nobility are the church nobility.

He himself returned to a familiar environment.

An environment similar to his in the main world.

Strip him of his status as a creator god and put him back in a position where he possesses power and is passionately eager to change the world. That would make sense, and he would adapt on his own.

"Even when faced with the opportunity for change, many people will subconsciously mess it up because they have become accustomed to their particular environment."

"Even if the environment is terrible and he doesn't like it, habit will drive him to instinctively change the environment around him."

"Cognition determines thought, thought determines behavior, behavior determines habits, habits determine character, and character determines destiny."

“Thoughts, cause and effect, destiny…” Through the incident in Mocania, Nemus gained a deeper understanding of the inherent logic of this world.

Nemus pondered this, using the dwarves to continue manipulating the shepherds' fate and then further drive dramatic changes.

His fictional space, though it breaks down the entire world as much as possible, returns to the initial state of everything, and then starts all over again.

However, it is impossible to completely escape the influence of reality.

The guidance of destiny from the God of Discipline remains online.

Nems's fictional space places Mocania in such an environment.

This is provoking Mocania to some extent, since Mocania herself has realized that something is wrong with her.

Without the shepherd, Mocania would most likely 'self-destruct,' and the world it created would fall into self-destruction under the dual psychological dilemma.

According to Nemes's estimation, without the intervention of external forces, the probability of the fairy tale world 'self-destructing' would greatly increase.

That's right, even if other people's worlds have bugs, they can still barely run until the fictional space ends.

As for Mocania's world, if Mocania hadn't used some other tricks when building the foundation of the world, it would have been different.

Even most rules are not directly constructed from assumptions, but only provide a general direction, leaving the world to perfect itself.

The world would have collapsed long ago because of this.

The reason for this is that Mocania amplified the role of a rule to an extreme degree.

The worlds created by others may have some core rules, but those are only the core rules.

In the world of fairy tales, however, the rule of morality and law is elevated from its core to the point where morality and law interfere with all other rules.

Unfortunately, morality itself lacks inherent standards. As world culture becomes increasingly complex and life becomes increasingly fragmented, the core of morality will also be rapidly fragmented.

The invasion of the world of little people may actually create external pressure, forcing the life forms within the fairy tale world to temporarily set aside their internal divisions and conflicts, thereby uniting against the outside world and delaying its collapse.

So at this point, fate ironically propelled the external invasion.

The changes in the shepherds were not the result of the actions of any one party alone.

Rather, it was the result of the combined efforts of the God of Discipline's destiny and Nemus's intervention.

After the wicked man chose the shepherd, the destiny of the god of discipline became intertwined with him.

This also contains the power struggle between the God of Discipline and Nems.

The shepherd's appearance brought new changes to Mocania, further stabilizing his mindset, resolving his inner turmoil, and also causing the world, which was on the verge of collapse, to begin to change.

"But that's exactly what I need."

"The more you invest, the greater your losses will be when Mocania collapses."

Chapter 594 Metamorphosis

The God of Discipline's control over the situation is not yet stable; His current level of awareness can only indirectly influence destiny and affect certain individuals.

Furthermore, there are many limitations in this process.

Despite the various problems Mocania currently faces, based on the instinctive judgment of the God of Discipline, Mocania remains one of the most worthwhile investments until Nems removes him.
