But at this moment, Lalumia smiled and said that if it were not for the various policies issued by Yang Hao when he was the regent of the Roman Empire, perhaps her child, Theresa, would have died of an illness.
Yang Hao and Fen had never heard of this incident from Theresa, so they immediately asked Lalumia about what happened. They also quickly hugged the little nun in their arms and stroked her hair in a reproachful manner.
In response to Yang Hao's question, Lalumia just took another sip of tea before sighing:
"That was about four years ago. At that time, the doctors from the Red Cross Society that you founded, Mr. Yang Hao, were providing free medical care in the village of Scuol...
At that time, Theresa was infected with the flu, but the money she had left was not enough to satisfy the appetite of the noble doctors...
As for me, she was the only believer left at the time. I had no power at all, and even maintaining my consciousness was extremely difficult.
I was unable to help her get rid of the disease, and my child was also stubborn and did not want to sell my crystal statue, the only valuable thing at the time, to get money to save her life...
She waited and waited in the church, dying like a shivering kitten, when your Red Cross doctor came to do his rounds...
If those doctors hadn't given Theresa the necessary care and treatment, you might not be able to see Theresa now."
Lalumia sighed, as if she was talking about an irrelevant past event - but when Yang Hao heard this, his heart was filled with thrills.
Because he knew very well how dangerous the "flu" was to the people of this world.
The Red Cross he founded was naturally responsible for preventing plague and influenza, but he did not expect that the Red Cross would save the life of this woman who would become extremely important to him in the future...
…
Come to think of it, I think Theresa also said this when she first met me, right
She is very grateful to the Red Cross that I founded... So that's why, is that so
"Why didn't you tell me?" Yang Hao pulled Theresa's cheek helplessly, "At least let me know what happened?"
"Wuwu?! It's because I told you... You would be worried when I told you! That's why I didn't want to tell you... It's been so long..."
"Be honest, Theresa."
"So why did you, the chopping block, come over here too?! Stop pulling my face! Let go!"
The three of them argued loudly, but finally relaxed temporarily under Lalumia's loving gaze.
That was the moment when Theresa angrily broke free from Yang Hao's arms.
Lalumia smiled and said, "So... everything you did was not in vain?"
Faced with Lalumia's sudden words, Yang Hao just said "Huh?"
"Although you have suffered countless betrayals and pains... But everything you did was not in vain and was not completely destroyed in the end. They all have a meaning of existence."
She squinted her eyes and gently placed her hands on the table. Then, under the power of God, the table became transparent and illusory, and finally allowed objective matter to pass through its shadow - this seemed to be a strange magic that only God could master.
“It’s just like the table between us now—it was useful in the past and could hold objects. Now that I’ve made it unreal, it doesn’t mean it’s useless.”
The god walked across the table with a smile, and finally came in front of Yang Hao and bent down gently.
"It previously carried the tea set and played its due role. Your Red Cross saved countless lives at that time, and also saved Theresa's life—
They all played their own value at that time, and they brought countless hopes and light to the world...
Although they have now been destroyed or become unreal, it is certain that they did become a symbol of hope for people at that time.”
Then, the smile on God's face lightly turned into a gentler smile.
Under Yang Hao's somewhat surprised gaze, she opened her arms and hugged him in her arms.
"So my child... even if the Romans deny everything you have done, it is still good. As the conceptual god of "light"... I owe you recognition and even more, gratitude.
At that time, although I knew what you had gone through, all I could do was to prepare Theresa for you... Now, at least I can touch your hair and tell you that everything makes sense.
I support you in what you do, just as Theresa supports you, my child."
La Lumia gently stroked Yang Hao's forehead. The shocking facts she said made Theresa blush and pout again, forcing the little nun to turn her head away out of shame and pretend that she didn't see what was happening in front of her.
Of course, Theresa did not forget to turn Finn's head to the side, as his face turned pale.
After all, what happened before his eyes was too much of a blow to the little elf.
The elf has wondered more than once why there is no one with the same body shape as her around her? It would be too cruel for her to continue like this, so she should turn around and look at the scenery with me!
What about the man who was held in Lalumia's arms, feeling the warmth and softness
He was silent for a long time, and after thinking for a while in shock, he connected what Lalumia had just said with the incident when Theresa greeted him in the past.
He suddenly understood why Theresa went to the deserted village of Scuol, why she had such a high liking for him, and why she was willing to trust and accept him...
It turns out that the mastermind behind all this is "Light", who was so weak at the time that he even had difficulty maintaining his self-awareness.
Suddenly, some of the mysteries of the past had answers, but Yang Hao actually no longer cared about what the past was like.
Whether the Red Cross was meaningful at the time, whether his previous policies were valuable... these are actually of little significance to him now.
He sniffed and made a slightly loud inhalation sound in this silent space, and then he was surprised to find that he seemed to be unable to breathe at all.
"'Light'?! Don't use that thing on your chest to make my man uncomfortable! ! That's my man?!"
The little nun, who finally realized something, gave up the warm and harmonious family atmosphere in front of her and let out a terrified scream, causing chaos in the entire lounge.
That was when the four people in the Purple Palace fell into chaos due to an unexpected accident.
In St. Petersburg.
The God of Light was furious because of his defeat.

Chapter 6: The Power of Adults-8K
April 18, 006 Imperial Calendar.
Since rescuing "Light" or the goddess Lalumia from the sanctuary church yesterday, Yang Hao and Theresa's work has become more arduous.
They have to run back and forth almost every once in a while, and their work involves all aspects. If it weren't for Finn's help, perhaps Basilisa and Caesar would have died suddenly at work one day.
But for them, it is far from the time when they can rest from exhaustion.
"So... not only do we have to be prepared to face the devil, we also have to develop domestic livelihood, ensure our diplomacy and trade, and even pay attention to our spiritual and cultural development? No, what about our adjutants and ministers? What do they do?"
Her Majesty Basilisa lay exhaustedly on the table in the office, while Yang Hao sat beside her, stroking her back and said with a wry smile:
"It can't be helped. The ministers don't have enough experience right now... Forgive them. You know, it's only been less than half a year since they came out of underground. They can't handle some diplomacy, reputation development, and trade matters on their own."
"Can't we just let the elves come over?!"
Facing Theresa's complaints, Finn, who was sitting on the other side, just took a sip of honey tea and shrugged:
"Now my ministers are obsessed with gun modification and cannot extricate themselves. Many of them have even given up their own jobs. Do you think they will come here to do something? That's wishful thinking!"
"But surely the elves would also take care of their work before they work?!"
"So many old elves resigned and introduced newcomers. This way they have no jobs at all."
"Is this still possible?!"
Theresa's screams left Fin with only a helpless smile.
After all, the changes that Yang Hao brought to the entire elf society were really huge—
Especially for the elves whose lifespans were almost unlimited, the possibility of "guns" was so great that they were willing to give up their jobs.
As for the archery master that Yang Hao knew at that time, he completely gave up his position as "master" and even gave up his duties as the ranger leader.
After recommending a capable young man to take over his job, the elf hid in his own cabin and devoted himself to studying the various possibilities of the Gappa 1404 rifle.
According to him, it would take him a hundred years just to study the weight of the entire gun to the "perfect" level, not to mention the chain reactions caused by increasing or decreasing the length of the barrel, the thickness of the stock, or even the internal caliber of the barrel or the material of the trigger...
He could play with it for hundreds of years without getting tired of it. If you add in the accessories, maybe he wouldn't have any complaints for thousands of years.
Especially after the successful development of new weapons such as the Gappa 1405 heavy machine gun, there were more things for the archery master to play with, and 24 hours a day was not enough. Naturally, he had no intention of continuing to work...
Fortunately, the elves still have integrity. Although they don't plan to work anymore, at least before they stop working, they will recommend suitable young people to take over their positions to avoid chaos...
However, this does not mean much to Finn and Bayerjans now - after all, to put it bluntly... those newly appointed elf officials do not understand the administrative structure of Bayerjans, and they do not have the strong ability to act as the old elves.
They couldn't offer much help to Bayerjans, so even if Finn wanted to help, what else could she do except stay in Constantinople herself
…
This was definitely not because of the sudden sense of crisis that Fen felt. She was really helping her good friend and lover from the bottom of her heart. After all, Yang Hao still owed her a wedding.
(So why does that "light" give me such a strong sense of crisis... Is it because it is gentle like a mother?)
The little elf looked at the listless little nun and fell into deep thought. At this time, Yang Hao looked at the documents on the table and said thoughtfully: Why don't we ask Lady Lalumia to come and help us with the work
Everyone looked at each other, especially Theresa who was lying on the table. She straightened her back and looked at Yang Hao strangely:
"You... don't have any idea about "light"? "
Theresa's strange question not only increased Fen's sense of crisis, but also made Yang Hao laugh and cry, so he hugged the little nun in his arms and rubbed her head two or three times.
He said that if he really wanted Lumia's body, then why didn't he go directly to Theresa
After all, the only difference between Lalumia and Theresa now is that Theresa doesn't like to wear the silk garter stockings of Ishugard, while Lalumia has to wear the white garter stockings because of the worshippers' admiration for her image.
But in the final analysis, Lalumia has simply used her divine power to fix her image. She can change her clothes at any time. After being able to change clothes, there is almost no difference between Lalumia and Theresa...
In other words, in a sense, if Yang Hao really wanted Lumia's body, then it would be right for him to attack Theresa -
And would Theresa refuse normal activities between husband and wife? It is better to say that Theresa will only be quiet during the days of her menstrual period... So, it is impossible! At least Yang Hao really has no idea.
The reason why he wanted Lalumia to help with government affairs was purely because Lady Lalumia, as the concept god of "light", knew too much about the affairs of the continent of Elucia.
She even knew the name of every child born on this continent - if her terrifying statistical ability was used in government affairs, then some very tedious but necessary tasks could be easily solved.
For example, population and household registration statistics, national financial management, human resources... and so on.
We don't really need to keep supporting "Guangming" after rescuing him. Why can't we let "Guangming" be self-reliant
Yang Hao meant that Lalumia would definitely be bored without a job, right? So why can't she help us out
What's more, Yang Hao is really overwhelmed now.
"Without a strong bureaucracy to help us handle our work, I might actually die at my job."
The man holding his two beloved wives sighed at some point, and while sucking on Theresa's earlobe, who looked rosy, he sighed:
"Is everyone aware of the current domestic situation? On the one hand, we need to develop the military to fight against the demons, and on the other hand, we also need to find a way to develop the people's livelihood...
Just like a man holding a knife in both hands cannot hug his wife, we have to find a way to make a choice between "wife" and "force"... "
"That's true, but your analogy is a bit strange..."
“But this is the reality we face.”
Today, the biggest dilemma facing the United Nations is the contradiction between the development of "people's livelihood" and "military" -
Although the fundamental problem is actually the lack of resources, in the absence of a way to conjure up resources out of thin air, all Yang Hao and others can do is to find a way to ease the conflict between the two...
This is not only a problem faced by Bayerjans, but also a similar situation in Gaparia.
To use a simple and easy-to-understand example, at this moment, when there is only one physical education class left, your Chinese and math teachers come over at the same time and say that the physical education teacher is sick, so this class has to be used for regular classes...
If this physical education class lasts 90 minutes, then everyone will be happy, and everyone can enjoy the 45-minute class.
But the problem is that this physical education class is only 30 minutes long, and with math and Chinese scores below the passing line...
No matter which teacher it is, he or she must want to take over this physical education class completely for himself, right
Although there is definitely no ill will between us, but since everyone wants to improve their scores, you can't blame me for being ruthless...
To apply this to the United Nations, the resources that are absolutely unable to satisfy everyone have now begun to cause conflicts between the "civilian livelihood" and "military" factions...
"We need to develop our military to a level that is strong enough to fight against the Ice Disaster and future demonic disasters. We also need to improve the basics of our people's livelihood to a level that allows all citizens to live and work in peace and contentment. More importantly, only when people's livelihood improves can our population increase...
In addition, we cannot satisfy the needs of two big mouths at the same time in terms of "time" or "resources": even if we occupy the mines of Skool Territory and Kagad Territory, in the case of severe resource shortage, we must find a way to maintain the development balance between the two sides or focus on the development of one side...
However, this requires a large number of bureaucrats to assist. Theresa, we don’t have that many bureaucrats, so Lalumia’s ability is necessary…”
Whether it is allocating resources to the two parties based on the situation and actual needs, or shifting the development focus in consideration of future development, in order to achieve the goals of the next stage, the United Nations needs to provide itself with a large number of production lines for industrial products, business partners that can provide itself with a large amount of foreign trade income, and neighbors that can provide itself with a large amount of civilian necessities and drive economic exchanges. It also needs a strong bureaucratic organization to ensure the correct collection of large amounts of data.
In it, the production line—Yang Hao can go and plead with Elena.
Business partner—Yang Hao can give Nia more and better conditions.
The neighboring country with which we exchanged civilian necessities and economic goods was naturally the Khutod Khanate.
The only thing is that the United Nations can't find a suitable target, which is a "powerful bureaucratic organization".
It was fine when the country was first established, but now that the country is becoming stronger and stronger, Yang Hao urgently needs a strong bureaucratic organization to solve important government affairs for him...
