What is the most fundamental purpose of a living organism's survival?
The answer is --- gene transmission.
That is, childbirth.
Although humans possess intelligence, have various self-defined thoughts, and have even produced a large number of so-called unmarried, childless, or DINK (double income, no kids) groups, when viewed from the perspective of the human race as a whole, reproduction remains the foundation of the species.
Concepts of marriage, family, and inheritance form the foundation of human society's moral rules and even everything else, and at their core, they all lie in the concept of reproduction.
Because everyone needs and desires to reproduce, the rule of marriage arose and is spontaneously upheld. It is through marriage and children that the family becomes a unified whole, a community of shared interests, thus establishing the basic social order...
It could even be said that reproduction is the bottom line for the entire race to avoid extinction.
Over the past three thousand years, since the Pale God issued a decree hundreds of years ago that completely severed the right of the Human Federation to reproduce, in just a few hundred years, the entire ideological and moral system of the Human Federation has rapidly collapsed, and extremism and pressure have rapidly increased. Ultimately, this is because humans cannot reproduce, which is equivalent to losing their greatest pursuit in life!
Therefore, even though the internet is abuzz with heated debates and netizens are clamoring for their opinions against the Human Federation Government using reproductive freedom to divert attention from overall elder care issues, the overall situation within the Human Federation is improving rapidly at a visible pace.
In just three years, the moral system that had almost collapsed has recovered considerably, as a large number of people have begun to try to present a better image in order to find a partner, get married, and have children.
The notions of chastity and self-love, which were completely shattered over the centuries and regarded as the dregs of the old era and shackles of humanity, are now being brought up again online, and some people are even starting to firmly support them.
Since the Human Federation Government lifted birth control restrictions, the proportion of people remarrying has been astonishing in just five years. Although online reactions are still mainly negative, it is undeniable that newborns have begun to be born into this society, and fresh blood has begun to be injected.
Kindergartens and schools began to reopen, and tutoring centers and clubs resumed operations, giving human society, which had been in a state of decline, a sense of rejuvenation.
With the birth of the first batch of newborns, with humans beginning to see new babies in their lives, and with videos of these newborns being uploaded to the internet one by one... finally, human society, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, seemed to have its heart suddenly start beating again.
Since the relaxation of reproductive rights, the Human Federation has been recovering rapidly at a visible pace.
In just ten years, the number of newborns has surged. People who originally protested against living conditions have spontaneously awakened their slumbering servility after having children, transforming into true nuclear-powered donkeys, working desperately for their children.
After all, work and struggle have been given entirely new meaning.
Various children's facilities, children's products, and even shops related to newborns have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, one after another, one after another. Various industries have formed an industrial chain that is completely new today but old hundreds of years ago.
As a result, the number of online clamor and protesters has decreased, and smart people have seen through the situation and have begun to work hard in secret, trying to lay a better foundation for their children's lives before others have realized it.
With ongoing reforms, the entire Human Federation's society is gradually reverting to a more familiar state...
However, the Pale Church disagreed with this policy!
Just after the Human Federation issued its policy, the Pale Holy See, which had been silent for more than a decade, suddenly issued strong statements, led by the new emperor Abraham.
They claim that the Human Federation's policies are crossing the bottom line of human society as ordained by a Pale God!
"In the past, the Pale God Norton sacrificed himself for humanity, suppressing the invasion of souls with a grand sacrifice, separating Heaven from Garden of Eden. This is the foundation of human stability! It is also a warning against the extreme proliferation of living beings!"
Human society must transition smoothly, and only when the elderly have all died can newborns be born. Only when the immortals diminish can reproduction continue!
The cycle of birth and death is an unending process, and this is the destiny of all living beings!
If the birth policy is relaxed and populations are allowed to proliferate unchecked, it will inevitably disrupt the new balance and lead to ultimate annihilation!
A statement from the Pale Holy See was published in the Human Federation Government and posted online.
This statement sparked a massive uproar.
Humans are extremely strange creatures.
Previously, the Human Federation relaxed birth rights and encouraged population reproduction in order to divert social conflicts. However, a large number of people disagreed, which sparked a massive wave of protests online and in society.
But now that the Pale Church has stepped forward to oppose it, those who previously disagreed with using reproductive rights to divert attention have instead begun to disagree with the Pale Church.
"Why should we? Giving birth is our right, procreation is our freedom! If the Pale God is guilty, then preventing reproduction is his greatest sin!"
"Although I am very dissatisfied with the Human Federation Government's use of reproductive rights to divert attention from the issue of elder care, I still prefer having reproductive rights to not having them!"
"I'd die for my child! Pale Church you to be heartless! Pale God is the culprit who destroyed human society! In just a few hundred years since we stopped having children, our society has become riddled with holes. To hell with soul invasion! If soul invasion brings us war, then banning childbirth will bring us utter destruction!"
In an instant, various online celebrities and influencers stepped forward to support the Human Federation Government and advocate for reproductive rights, while others slandered the Pale Church and the Pale God. This further enraged the people of the Human Federation.
The loss of their right to support their parents had already enraged them, and now that they had finally regained their right to procreate, the Pale Church was jumping out to obstruct them. This directly attracted the public's enormous anger, completely erasing the goodwill that the Pale Church had previously brought about by its support system, and even dragging the name of the Pale God Norton into the mess, which was wantonly defiled.
Before this statement was issued, the Pale God and even the Pale Church were still being worshipped...
Garden of Eden is too fickle; none of these scoundrels are steadfast in their roots.
