Chapter 289: Messenger of Peace
It was 10:30 pm.
The weather started to get colder.
Ling Pingan stopped working. He walked to the door and closed it.
The temperature that night was probably not even 10 degrees.
The night breeze blew, and his body felt a little cold.
Fortunately, his bookstore was warm in winter and cool in summer.
So he immediately warmed up after closing the door.
It was still early!
Ling Pingan thought that he might have some business at night, so he walked to the counter and continued to sit down.
He turned on the television at the same time.
There was a special program about the war in Tianzhu on television.
A few experts were discussing it one after another.
Pictures were playing in the background one after another.
There were shattered cars, exploding tanks, and the wreckage of airplanes.
Everything showed that the scale of this conflict was bigger than any previous one!
Ling Pingan looked at it, took out his phone, and looked at his WeChat read.
“Hiss…” he gasped.
One day!
In less than one day.
South Tianzhu and North Tianzhu each announced that they had destroyed hundreds of the enemy’s tanks, dozens of cannons, and several fighter jets.
They had confirmed that they had killed thousands of people from each side!
Ling Pingan shrunk his neck and said, “War is so scary!”
He had heard of wars and conflicts ever since he was born. Usually, both sides would fight for half a month, and they would see that they had lost many soldiers when they looked back.
It was rare to see such a war where thousands of soldiers were killed and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in one day!
“Is this the terror of modern warfare?” Ling Pingan looked at the uploaded pictures and videos on WeChat read.
He looked at the soldiers who were killed one by one.
They were all young!
The intense conflict had already caused the two countries to announce a general mobilization.

It would be difficult for them not to fight for a year or so that time from all the circumstances.
Ling Pingan looked at them and shook his head.
“Peace… why is it so difficult?”
The education he had received had always told him.
The weapon of war was a weapon that saints use when only they had no choice.
Ling Pingan started to feel happy for himself as he looked at the pictures.
He was happy that he lived in the most powerful country on this planet. He was happy that his country had always been cautious and careful in using its strength.
The Federal Empire had not taken the initiative to start a war for two hundred years regardless of which faction was in power.
That was easy to understand.
The people of the Federal hated war.
After all, the people of the Federal had opposed all unjust wars since ancient times!
Benevolence and righteousness were the basic morals and ethics that had dominated this country since ancient times!
The reason the hundred-year war could last for a hundred years was that the righteousness was in them, and the benevolence and righteousness were in them.
The Federal Empire had not taken the initiative to go to war with the outside world for 200 years after the Hundred Year War.
As a result, as long as the foreign countries did not openly attack the federal territory.
The cabinet would pretend not to see it.
The biggest punishment would be economic sanctions and embargoes.
Starting a war was never an option.
Because the cabinet could not persuade the federal people to send their young people to the battlefield.
Why?
What was the reason?
What?
For the benefit of XXX?
Go to hell!
And the traditional introverted culture also made the Federal Empire have no conflict with the foreign countries.
Raw materials?
Why did they do this kind of thing?
The Federal was vast and had everything.
Why did they need to let their people bleed because of some foreign crook?

Wasn’t it better to spend money?
Product dumping?
Wasn’t the empire with a population of two billion-plus one billion people in the world enough?
Most of the connections between the federal empire and the foreign countries were aid, humanitarian aid, and post-disaster reconstruction.
It had been like that for thousands of years.
The federal empire would rather stay at home as long as others did not disturb them.
They ate, slept, and played games obediently just like Ling Pingan.
They were not motivated or willing to fight others.
In fact, the Datong Party even called every day for everyone to stop fighting and develop together… They would aim at mountains and rivers and talk about building a tunnel there. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to build a bridge and a hydropower station over there?
Unfortunately…
Few people were willing to listen.
Those who were willing to listen were already within the scope of the country.
For example, Malin was far away in Kunlun state.
However, the place had already been a vassal of the previous dynasty a few hundred years ago.
Ling Pingan felt a little frustrated as he read WeChat read and thought about history.
“I hope that the Federal Empire can mediate it as soon as possible…” Ling Pingan closed his phone and said, “It’s better not to fight…”
“So many people have died…”
He thought back to those young warriors who had died.
They were about the same age as Ling Pingan.
Many of them were younger.
However, they had died just like that. They had died for no reason.
That made Ling Pingan find it hard to accept.
After all, it was understandable if one said that they wanted to resist the invasion, protect the dignity of the country, protect the territorial integrity, and protect the country.
But…
From the news, both sides were putting on a war for something meaningless.
It was purely the two countries’ upper-class acting stupidly from Ling Pingan’s point of view, inciting the populace to start a war.
That was meaningless!
Using the blood of innocent young people to add bricks to his power.
Ling Pingan felt annoyed upon looking at the pictures on the television, so he picked up the remote control and turned off the television.
Meow!
The kitten stood up and walked to its master, rubbing the back of Ling Pingan’s hand.
Ling Pingan looked at it and touched the little guy. “Little one, you hate war too, right?”
Meow!
Ling Pingan stroked its head and was happy. Then, he sighed in sadness.
He had not much authority.
But he sincerely hoped for peace!
… … … ..
Amir got up from the bed.
He sat up, and lines of golden words began to appear on his retina.
“Nightmare Reality Mission…”
“Stop the war!”
“Description: The Blood of the chaotic human world has flowed enough… Although the realm doesn’t care about the mortals killing each other, the chaos has brought about some unpredictable things…”
“Mission Objective: Try your best to prevent the war between North Tianlan and South Tianlan…”
“Mission Reward: Badge of Peace! ”
“Badge of Peace’s Usage: Immediately prevents you from being harmed by any Nightmare Game participants in the next Nightmare World. At the same time, it also prevents you from harming any other Nightmare Game participants! ”
“Remark: You only need to participate and complete the most basic mission requirements to obtain this badge!”
Aamir’s pupils suddenly dilated.
Badge of Peace?
That was a treasure, it might even save his life!
He bit his lip, picked up his phone, and dialed the number of a member of Parliament that he controlled.
“Think of a way to stop the war…” he gave the order.
A transcendent being in a high position like him was the king in that land!
And countless calls were made from the hands of the transcendents at the same time.
War was raging in the frontline.
The phones were ringing behind all the war.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
