Thus, power began to divide without anyone realizing it.

Nobles emerged, dukes emerged, and principalities emerged.

These people began to divide up power without any restraint.

Mocania tried to stop it, which led to a second act of moral blackmail by a duke who used the lives of the entire nation as leverage.

At this point, Mocania completely lost its power to actually manage humanity.

Those people still nominally worship him as the supreme creator god.

But in reality, they were unwilling to give him any management authority whatsoever.

Mocania had no choice; a world war could break out at any moment.

He couldn't possibly kill these people; if the death chain were to occur, the country would be thrown into chaos, and the world would become unstable.

Mocania had no choice but to accept it.

Then they should remember that a world war exists and that they need to preserve their fighting strength.

He then retreated back into the valley, preferring to stay out of sight.

In the world created by Mocania, time flows at an inexplicably fast pace.

Once he stops forcibly perceiving and using his computing power to observe the world, then for him, everything will have only taken a little over two days.

Nearly eighty years have passed since the beginning of his world.

Now that Mocania no longer appears in public, the nobles will no longer bother to come looking for him.

Now the shepherd was following his scent, and Mocania immediately sensed it.

Perception also accelerates, thus adapting to the flow of time in this world.

As the senses were released, Mocania's face darkened.

Chapter 591 Ordinary People

He had assumed that these people, who were able to divide up the power of the Kingdom of Nia so easily, must have some skill.

Although these people may gain some power and engage in some corruption, they are not that 'rotten' no matter what.

However, reality hit him like a slap in the face.

Even with the constraints of morality and law, and the potential backlash from public opinion, the nobles of this world can still oppress the lower classes so much.

This led to a series of suicides, causing such a human tragedy.

Mocania's face first turned black, then white, and then flushed bright red.

Everything that is happening before our eyes is the best condemnation of him.

Before this, Mocania always felt that she was very capable and could gather more people to promote church reform and thus make the world a better place.

But now, reality has shown him that he doesn't have that ability.

The world became so chaotic under his construction. The perfect rules of morality and law, which he believed to be perfect, revealed too many loopholes as soon as they appeared, thus creating so many problems.

All of this made Mocania realize that her reform ideas were about to become a joke.

"It sounds good, but in practice, it'll probably just be a mess." Mocania couldn't help but doubt herself at this moment.

He imagined that he would restrain the church's nobles, thereby tilting the church's welfare and resources toward the lower classes.

But given the current situation, he can't do it.

He couldn't control not only the nobles of the church, but even the nobles in his own world.

At this moment, Mocania felt utterly desperate.

His thinking sparked changes throughout the world.

The shepherd, who was riding his big dog toward the valley, looked up at the sky.

The sky suddenly darkened, countless clouds began to appear, and various terrifying scenes appeared in the sky.

In the capital, nobles were all staring at the sky in astonishment.

The weather around the world has never seemed so volatile.

Only a few nobles and royalty who knew the inside story had a slight change in expression, realizing that it might be related to the god Nia.

The shepherd stopped the big dog and looked at the changing sky, somewhat at a loss.

However, he eventually arrived outside the valley, where, according to the information provided by the big dog, the god Nia was located.

"An ordinary man seeks an audience with the god Nia!" the shepherd declared loudly from outside the valley.

The once turbulent sky suddenly became still.

Mocania, who was in the valley, also regained consciousness.

"Yes, I'm just an ordinary person." Mocania suddenly felt that her mindset had changed a lot without her realizing it.

"It's Nems!" Mocania immediately realized that it was all Nems's conspiracy.

Upon entering the fictional space, they remained vigilant, yet gradually became immersed in the satisfaction of creating a world.

The feeling of being a god stimulates them to have an inflated sense of self-importance.

"The world has become the way it is entirely because of my inadequacy."

"As a god, I failed to regulate the world and could not suppress those nobles."

"But in the real world, there exists a true God."

"The God of Discipline is definitely not an ordinary person like me."

"So all I really need to do is push for reform, like a sharp knife, to break through the current situation."

“Then the God of Discipline can easily suppress those nobles, unlike me, who was powerless.” After hearing the shepherd’s words, Mocania understood her own value, her mood no longer changed, and she instinctively felt goodwill towards the shepherd.

Especially after he began to gather intelligence and understood what the shepherd was doing, his appreciation for him grew even more.

In Mocania's view, the shepherd was a person just like himself.

A person who can see the problems in a system and is determined to change them.

He and the beast complement each other; perhaps the two of them can truly help him restrain the nobles of this world.

It might even overturn the concept of identity and morality, destroy the sorcery 'in the name of God,' and bring morality and law back on track.

Although it has failed so far, Mocania still believes that there is nothing wrong with morality and law itself; the problem lies with those with ulterior motives.

Ultimately, the reason it has evolved to this point is entirely because the moral standards of different people have been further blurred in the name of God.

In fact, if some changes occur 'in the name of God', the power within it transforms into further binding force, becoming a supplement to moral laws.

"Then the world will be a better place." With this thought in mind, Mocania led the shepherd into the valley.

The shepherd's petty nature made him afraid to move.

Although talent is essentially a product of the condensation of thoughts and ideas.

The latent state is like a person's subconscious.

Human thought and spirit are therefore the most difficult to explore and interfere with.

He had a very high probability of not being discovered, but he still dared not be careless in the face of such a creator god-level existence.

Although the shepherd had once entertained the same idea of ​​morally blackmailing Nia, he still had some expectations when he met Nia now.

The shepherd felt a strong resemblance the moment they met.

It's very similar to myself.

The other person's face did not look old, but rather very young.

He didn't have the air of a superior that I had imagined; he was more like a slightly different kind of young man.

“I already know why you’ve come.” Mocania looked at the shepherd with appreciation, then spoke, a hint of a sigh in her voice: “My perception of time is different from yours, so it was my mistake that I didn’t realize how outrageous they were all these years.”

When the shepherd heard Mocania say this, he first felt that the goddess Nya was indeed a good person, but then disappointment rose in his heart.

He shouldn't just be a good person.

The shepherd concealed his disappointment and asked the god Nia.

"Nia God, is there really no way to break the spell cast in the name of God?"

"There's no way around it; this witchcraft is rooted in the rules of morality and law. It is both witchcraft and a supplementary means to the rules."

“If I forcibly break through this barrier, it will inevitably lead to instability in the world.”

"I already have a premonition that a threat from another world is approaching."

"At this time, any instability in the world will only cause bigger problems."

"And in the name of God, the nobles are united into a great whole."

"If they are killed, it could very likely trigger a chain reaction!"

"Very likely?" The shepherd was taken aback and instinctively asked.

“That’s right. Once someone is forcibly killed by my power, the other nobles will feel the oppression of divine authority over royal authority.”

"They have an alliance, and they will unite once power changes hands..."

Upon hearing this, the shepherd looked at Nia with disbelief in his eyes.

Chapter 592 Waste

"Useless." This thought lingered in his mind.

The shepherd never imagined that Mocania would be so useless.

The shepherd thought that it was one thing for the witchcraft of "in the name of God" to exploit loopholes in morality and law, but it was understandable that Nia was morally blackmailed for the first time.

However, being morally blackmailed a second time can only be described as those nobles pushing their luck.

Nia, who was being pushed so far, backed down and softened.

According to Mocania, in the name of God, the nobles are simply regarded as a whole, and when a power struggle occurs, the other nobles will be aware of it.

The nobles then used this as a basis to form an alliance against him.

It's just an alliance!

There is no mandatory binding involved.

The shepherd was almost certain that if Mocania took a hard line and actually killed the nobleman who had morally blackmailed him, the allied nobles would protest, become indignant, and resort to underhanded tactics, and some might even be implicated and harmed as a result.

However, those nobles would never truly become a unified whole, advance or retreat together, and fight Mocania to the bitter end.

Next, Mocania only needs to kill some of the more radical nobles and then set absolute rules for them.

Under this rule, even the worst nobles will have a minimum standard of conduct.

Once someone crosses the line, Mocania can use this to carry out punishment.

The social status and morality of nobles would be restrained to prevent such an endless decline.

It's fair to say that if Mocania had been just a little more assertive, the world wouldn't be in the state it is today.

However, despite possessing greater power and influence, Mocania was manipulated in that situation.

He has a fear of any potential loss.

"To be precise, it seems that Nia is extremely afraid of the losses she herself has caused." The shepherd's mind was buzzing.

I never imagined that the so-called God Nia would be such a person.

Mocania also noticed the shepherd's lapse in composure, which revealed his wretchedness.

In fact, Mocania also knew that she was too weak.

However, this was indeed a weakness in his soul.

Everything stems from what happened back then.

He mustered his courage and stood in front of Xiao Bi, thinking he was protecting his childhood sweetheart.

But what she got in return was a remark from Xiao Bi: "You only did this because you were after my body, didn't you?"
