"We are becoming history—or perhaps myth."
When he took part in founding the nation, Lu PingAn had vaguely sensed this. He could even feel the title "Teacher" gradually becoming a form of High-Dimensional Punctuation.
Especially since this nation's founding had not been normal. It had no leader.
Generally speaking, this sort of national awakening and the founding of a New Kingdom could be called historically inevitable, but the importance of "historical figures" could not be denied.
The Savior Army had dozens of branches. With too many representatives came the absence of any true representative. The Grand Marshal commanded a relatively large branch, but he absolutely could not have the final say, much less serve as a unified leader.
Without some larger-than-life figure descending from the heavens, the so-called New Kingdom was destined to be a disorganized rabble. Yet in the end, Lu PingAn—the fictional "Teacher"—had instead become the focus of their faith.
After all, people lacking security and trust would, to some extent, hope to receive protection. If a nation had no representative figure, then they would naturally place their faith in the advocate of its ideas. At the very least, Teacher's Discourse was with them every moment, guiding them.
Even Lu PingAn had not expected his past nonsense to have such an impact. In the end, it had merely been a hodgepodge of modern Eastern Kingdom ideas mixed with his own personal notions. But the problem was...
"The issue has never been whether it is correct or flawless. What matters is simply whether it appears in the right place at the right time."
When the entire world lacked ideological guidance, when everyone was searching for a way out, even a wrong path would attract plenty of fanatics. Much less Teacher's Discourse, an unimpressive but genuinely world-tested theory of development.
