  • Chapter 142: Life After Gods

    Year five hundred and fifty. Ten years since the True Gods left. Ten years of complete freedom. No observation. No judgment. No external pressure. Just humans governing themselves. Choosing democracy. Living free.It was harder than expected.For five centuries, people believed they were being tested. Believed they had to prove themselves. Believed gods watched everything. That belief created pressure. That pressure created vigilance. That vigilance maintained democracy.Now the pressure was gone. The gods were gone. No one watched. No one judged. No one cared if democracy failed. Just humans. Just themselves. Just their own choice.And people were getting lazy."Why do we need to vote on everything?" A young person complained at a town meeting.

Where Chen Feng once stood centuries ago.Every citizen watched. All sixty million three hundred thousand people. Some there physically. Most watching remotely. All waiting.
