The Void Mask Emperor would speak and bless the retired workers? The audience screamed and cheered loudly after hearing that .

No one had ever imagined that the good fortune of these retired workers would not be over yet . They not only got the honor that many people dreamed of, but they also received the god’s blessing .
But, this was just an uproar .
Question a decision made by the god? Regardless of seeking death, the differences between humans and gods were enough to make people doubt themselves rather than God .
For example, when confronted with the King of Poisonous Milk who could manipulate the game on the spot when broadcasting live on earth, those who believed in science had been frustrated by the cruel reality many times . Let’s take Sui Xiong for example . It was said that he stayed up all night to watch the European Champions League live, and he thought that it was an e-sports commentary after all, even if the King of Poisonous Milk could not manipulate it . However, facts proved that he was too naive . The King of Poisonous Milk showed his great power that night . First, he supported the strong team; then he supported the weak team, vividly manipulating the game . Especially in the final stage, a strong punch directly determined the outcome of the game, and that had startled Sui Xiong sitting before the computer screen . Coffee poured into his nose, and he had a headache and a cough the next morning . He was dispirited for the whole day .
Think about it . That was just a super-powered man on the earth; imagine a true God from the other worlds .
For people in this world, the idea that “my thoughts are different from the gods” meant that the people themselves were wrong . There was no possibility that the gods would make mistakes .
The premise was that the god was very normal, not like the God of Destruction, the God of Lies or the God of Plague who had problems in their brains .

Therefore, Sui Xiong came onto the stage within the expectations of all the people .
“In this balmy spring season, everything comes back to life . We have welcomed the first commendation conference of the retired workers of the amusement park of the Void Mask . On behalf of all staff, I’d like to extend my cordial greetings and highest respects to all guests and spectaculars, as well as the staff who are fighting in all positions . ”
Applause .
Sui Xiong smiled and felt good about himself . He even didn’t notice the expression of the funny and annoying faces of the two hosts and Mrs . Tigg .
This was totally not like a god’s speech! Where on earth did this old bureaucrat come from?
Fortunately, the following parts of Sui Xiong’s speech were not like his previous style, which relieved them a lot . If their own god had made a bureaucratic speech today, the church of Void Mask would have become the number one joke around the world tomorrow .
In fact, Sui Xiong could not say words like that any longer . The previous part was really too common . Once there were any activities on the earth, the leaders’ opening remarks were like that . Although Sui Xiong hadn’t eaten pork, he had seen pigs walking, and that was why he could imitate them so vividly . Now if you let him continue to say words like that, it would come naturally eventually .

There was a saying that smart people could do everything, which was actually just prejudice . According to Crick’s system, Sui Xiong’s intelligence was more than 20, and that made him a first-rate genius . But in fact, his ability was very limited; at least his literary level hadn’t seen any progress compared to the time before he traveled through time . No, it was due to the different languages . Many essences of his mother tongue could not be properly applied in the common language of this world . In fact, his literary level had fallen behind in comparison to his previous level .
But what he was going to say now didn’t need high literacy .
“The reason why I want to set up a retirement pension system was that I want to improve the living standards of workers as well as the whole society,” Sui Xiong said . “I think the cornerstones of society are not the strong who are too powerful beyond imagination, or the nobles with high positions of power, or the merchant prince who is ridiculously rich, but the common farmers and workers . Although they keep to themselves and are paid no mind, it is because of their hard work day after day and year after year that the wealth and various resources of society are gradually accumulated . All other achievements are built on this basis without exception .
“I have been thinking about what kind of God I should become . This question is not easy to answer . I have observed and thought about it for a long time . Finally, I feel that since I have come to this world and have become a powerful man, I should use my strength and wisdom to promote the development of the world . But what on earth does development mean? I don’t want to go too far . It’s unrealistic to say things like that . Everyone will think I’m only telling jokes or saying empty words . I’m only talking about what I’m doing right now .
“I want to build a territory of peace, stability, and development, such as the amusement park of Void Mask . Here we reject war, hatred, murder, and all kinds of schemes and intrigues . I welcome all the guests even those that are my enemy; I would like to sit at the dinner table with them as long as they will not make trouble for me . Even if we are going to fight for life and death at any moment, I don’t mind having a drink with them before the fight . I welcome them as long as they are willing to respect the peaceful and stable atmosphere here and not destroy it .
“But this is not sufficient . I have to start from the social foundation so that the most ordinary workers or farmers can get more benefits . These benefits not only include material wealth, but also spiritual respect . As we all know, ‘aging’ and ‘sickness’ are the most terrible things for ordinary people . Once you are old or ill, you will lose the ability to work, and thus cut off your source of income . If you have no money, you will not be able to live . This situation is ubiquitous and common .
“However, I think that’s wrong . A man has worked hard for half of his life and has created lots of wealth, but when he becomes old and sick, thus losing his ability to work, why does he fall into the situation of having nothing, even being unable to live? On this point, I may learn from an old predecessor surnamed Marx and write a series of long articles to explain and argue . Here, I will not talk about nonsense . I just want to announce my decision—the retirement pension system, and medicare system and industry injury system that will be pioneered later, and various kinds of social security systems… I will launch and improve them one by one .

“I can’t guarantee what I will achieve in doing so, and I’m also not sure about whether I can promote the development of the whole society or not . But I think it’s better to do it than not to . Now that I have the ability to do it, I will begin doing so . I had heard a story that when the tide receded, many fish were stranded on the beach . A young man ran and picked up a fish and threw them back into the sea . The elder nearby advised him, ‘It’s useless for you to do so because nobody cares about them . ” But the young man answered, ‘These fish care and those fish also care…’ Yes, maybe a lot of people will frown upon my behavior and maybe my behavior will not have any effects, but I know that ordinary people, especially those who live in hardships, and those who work hard care .
“And if they care, then I care too . ”
As he spoke, he turned back and looked at those old workers whose hairs grew white and whose bodies were no longer straight .
“You have sweated a lot and sacrificed your precious youth for this amusement park . Although it’s customary for me to promise my country after my death, I think that’s far from enough . In return for your efforts over the years, I wish you all good health and enjoy your old age in peace here . ”
After saying that, a ray of light fell from the sky on these old people .
Sui Xiong talked so much that many of the guests were sleepy, but still, some of them concentrated on his words and felt enraptured after hearing them .
Well, there were some people gnashing their teeth in anger after hearing his words, such as people in the Pantheon .
“What a talented person he is!” Wuther, the God of Light, laughed and shook his head . “But he is too naive to talk about this, and his ideas are too simple and too idealistic . ”
“What’s wrong with that?” Le Feng, the Dog of Sky, asked with a smile . “The strong have the power of caprice . As long as he grows stronger in the future, these ideas will not be naive and idealistic, but will sooner or later guide the world in the right direction . ”
The God of Light thought for a moment and nodded . “You are right . Whether an idea is right or wrong depends not on theory but on strength . As long as he is strong enough, nothing will be wrong for him . ”
“You can only talk about him in private!” the long-lost God of Justice Yorgaardman suddenly appeared and said . His face was gray and haggard, but he was high-spirited . His eyes were shining with brilliance .
He laughed and looked scornfully across the faces of these two powerful divines . “In my opinion, you sour words are really meaningless, just like a person swearing at the sun!”
