stoicism in early christianity

The Supernatural era descended, the rules changed, mystery arrived, and the world altered. Countless ruins of civilization emerged, and an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures lay at everyone's fingertips. Radical faction, "This is the best of times, entering a new world, excavating relics, mass evolution!" Conservative, "This is the worst of times, with countless monsters outside, once you leave the Safe Zone, extinction awaits humanity!" … Meanwhile, at a remote ruin, Lu Yuan successfully discovered new treasures and sought after the mysterious wealth, desperately trying to contact his fellow Earthlings. "Found a communicator, can it get through?" "Hey, humans—I'm almost becoming a god, and you're still hiding in the Safe Zone?" …… (Original title: "A Thousand Years Ahead of Humanity") (Also known as "Picking Up Trash in the New World," "Even Wealthier Than All Humans," "One Person Is a Civilization," "Please Call Me the Human Pioneer," "I Am the Strongest Pioneer," and more!)

When Cheng Guang woke up, he realized he had traversed to another world. He had thought his transmigrated identity would be the esteemed Princely Heir to the Duke, but he hadn't expected an additional (pseudo-) in front of it. It wasn't tragic, but it definitely wasn't great either, it was just very helpless. Cheng Guang had thought that being able to be a pseudo-Princely Heir was the biggest cheat in his life, but to his surprise, he was also bound to a system. This system was even more of a scam! It seemed to have bound him three thousand years too early! It started by telling him he had advanced to the Heavenly Human Realm and instructed him to confront the Empress of Great Zhou, who was also in the Heavenly Human Realm. But he was just a small potato! However, wait a second, the Empress of Great Zhou, years later, seems to be just a pushover right now? Cheng Guang became resolute and confident again, I got this!!!

After fresh rain in the empty mountains, the evening air brings the feel of autumn. Li Xiang brandished his self-made High-Density Chopping Knife, and with a single strike, a bamboo stalk as thick as a bowl's mouth snapped and broke. Suddenly, an ordinary earth viper shot out. With a gentle flick of his knife's tip, Li Xiang severed the earth viper's vital spot, and its ferocious head fell to the ground. System: "Congratulations, Host, for killing the Tier One Exotic Beast. You have received a surprise reward." "What the hell? This ordinary earth snake is an Exotic Beast?" Li Xiang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. "...It's supposed to mutate ten years from now when the Apocalypse arrives and demonic and monstrous energies invade, right? Hmm, I've just slain an Exotic Beast in its infancy. My merit is immeasurable."

Update: I ended this story because there were absolutely batshit crazy people who were taking offence for no fucking reason. The main character drinks ... "oh my god author you fucking asshole." Main character believes in separation of church and state..."oh my god author you fucking asshole." Fucking hell. You're on a Chinese website reading stories in English probably jacking off to hentai and you're hypocritically flogging your culture and religion. Fuck you. You're what's wrong with this world. **************** Saddam Hussein was a cold-blooded, iron-fisted ruler of a Middle Eastern nation...Iraq. After watching HBO's House of Saddam, I was inspired to write a transmigration story where the narrator becomes Saddam. But instead of vainglorious and destructive wars and policies, instead of sadistic children, New Saddam tries to build a new Iraq which is liberal and developed. Warnings: Saddam Hussein and his family weren't nice people. This isn't an attempt to rewrite them as sympathetic characters. The narrator references the crap people of that era pulled regularly. The MC is focused on kingdom building so any good things come out of his intentions not from Saddam. Treat this story as trashy, no-brain fiction and just enjoy it. There's no intellectual purpose behind it.
