Episode 192. Peace in Our Time 2
Dakkerutang All Chaun. The position itself has been around for a long time, but this is the first time I’m using the name itself.
The first theme declared when All Chaun became Dakkerutang was ‘return to the past’.
“The old days were good times to live in. From the Paradise Age, the Myth Age, the Legend Age, to the current ‘Era of Faith’. Gradually, the lives of the Datuns, the Datang people, only got worse.”
Of course, it is not a complete return to the past. If you ask me to live like in the paradise era, I can’t live like that. The mythical era is so long that it is a bit ambiguous to ask which era is better.
But that ‘atmosphere’ of the past could actually be called a utopia. A utopia where everyone had no worries about war, was free from labor, and could just eat, drink, play, have children, raise them, learn, fight occasionally, but mostly compete in sports… .
“Let’s go back to the old days! First of all, the ‘before-war’ period. Our goal is to restore the beautiful politics of the early legendary era!”
All Chaun was not a progressive person, if you look at it coldly. Rather, he was the embodiment of conservatism. It is not good for a 19,000-year-old person to try something new.
But is conservatism bad? What about retrospectives that miss the past? Are they all outdated? Well, I don’t know.
In modern times, there is a lot of yearning for scientific advancement and new civilization. However, when people actually vote in politics, most of them vote for the conservative party.
Living things usually want to continue doing what they have been doing. They don’t try new things. Was the development of a Confucian state that idealized old politics that slow?
In short, Joseon, which believed in Neo-Confucianism, established a dynasty with a stable system for over 500 years, which is extremely rare in the history of the world.
Those who do not learn from the past are not qualified to see history. The spirit of pursuing only new things and pursuing only progress has led to environmental destruction and self-destruction on Earth.
I guess that’s a bit strange.
Anyway, this year’s Chaun is a thoroughgoing restorationist who aims to revive the old system.
I have no intention of going back to the old days. It may sound funny, but a radical return is no different from a radical progress.
“This is what I have felt while working in politics for the longest time in the world. The most important thing in a system is gradual but certain change.”
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
“I agree. Even the military regime lasted for 86 years. Let’s slowly revive the old atmosphere with the generational change over the next 72 years.”
The so-called 24-year tax exemption, 24-year tax reduction, 24-year normal tax recovery, and the subsequent prosperity.
Of course, the goal was not to achieve a rigid 24-year cycle, but to achieve gradual change, and the four people who could be called the top leaders of Datang, Mainilun, Ol Chaun, Manum Lapang, Kass Loran, and Lejohui Medakbo, moved towards a very gradual but definite system.
All of us thought that the next war wouldn’t happen for at least 72 years. And that’s true. There’s no war.
Restoring the past prosperity. For now, we have set that as our top priority, and the current population of the mainland is 200 million, and the population of the occupied territories combined is close to 40 million.
Let’s put aside the occupied territories and focus on recovering Datang first. Too many people have died.
Manum Lapang is now the leader of world religions.
As the ultimate victor of the Age of Faith, it can now be said that the Celestial Religion established by Manum Lapang is the world’s greatest mainstream religion.
“It would be nice if we could build a celestial temple in each city. Each village should have at least a symbol representing the celestial body of each region.”
“I see. Then what about other religions?”
If you want, you can punish them all. You can establish a state religion and suppress it. But Manum Lapang, as a symbol of religion, showed a very tolerant attitude.
“You are free to believe whatever you want.”
“Yes? But.”
“It doesn’t matter whether the world was created by the One God, the Primordial God, or the Dragon God. They’re all mysterious anyway, right? So just… … . Build the Celestial Temple unconditionally, but whatever else you build is fine.”
“iced coffee…….”
“But education is important. Everyone should be able to receive a Moz (kindergarten) education from the Celestial Church. And the greatest virtue of the Celestial Church is to elevate the lowly. Just don’t forget that, Se-young. The greatest sin is for those in high positions to be arrogant and boastful.”
Manum Lapang was objectively good. He was tolerant of all religions in the occupied territories, even the prehistoric and native religions that were barely surviving, folk religions, totem-worshipping animal religions, etc.
Anyway, the power of the celestial bodies in the sky is unchanging, and everyone is aiming for the same thing. So don’t worry about what others believe.
In a sense, has it become secularized? Maybe it has become a part of daily life.
Even holidays and customs that have become part of our daily lives are, if you look closely, religious procedures.
Manum Lapang respects religion and, above all, ends the meaningless strife of the age of religion by saying, “Everyone is a mystery anyway, so let’s not fight over who is right.”
The slogan to focus on practical matters rather than ideology has found quite a response, and Manum Lapin, while respected as the head of the religion, has reduced his own power.
Yet, strangely enough, his authority is not diminished at all. Manum Lapang’s position is the second-in-command of Datang. He is still the right-hand man of Ol Chaun.
Manum Lapin sees the current situation, where religion dominates education, as a kind of transitional period, and sees the ideal situation where he is pushed down to the third or fourth place, while the authority of Kass Loran and Lejohui Medakbo increases, and he works hard to inscribe the events of the war on Mainnirun.
Castel Laurent is still doing the same thing as before. He contributes to Datang with his outstanding intelligence. He is the prime minister who assists Dakerutang.
But at the same time, he was also the Minister of Education and the Minister of Health. He treated the greatly increased number of military doctors well, and tried to restore the atmosphere of pursuing academics. At the same time, he continued to communicate with the Black Witch and worked hard to create a new medical system including mixed-bloods.
A big task was thrown at such a Castel Laurent: the so-called census.
“In terms of the population mixed race ratio, the Nono tribe has shrunk significantly, and the proportion of the population close to Daton has increased significantly.”
Because during the war, the capabilities of powerful mystic users were important. Datang, which once seemed like a nation of Nono, is now Daton-Patchar, Daton-Nono, Daton-Bark, Daton-Erin, Daton-Erin-Bark, Daton-Patchar-Nono mixed-bloods, etc., clearly Daton has become the mainstream again. If you separate Daton blood from the entire population, it would easily exceed 60% of the entire population.
Daton has poor physical abilities, but possesses the greatest magical affinity and high intelligence. In the Datang system that focuses on mystery, it may be natural that Daton will inevitably become the mainstream.
There were a lot of Nono people, but they were all separated from the breakwater front, and the Patchar population also did not increase, so they did special operations outside.
“The biggest problem is Hanjutamal. Hanjutamal is a particular threat to Daton.”
Millions died from the ‘brief’ spread of the Thousand-Year-Old. It’s a contagious disease that is as ridiculous as the statistics show. A demonic disease that spreads through mystery and magical affinity. It became especially dangerous as the role of Daton increased.
“Rather, the number of pure-blooded Datons has decreased.”
“It can’t be helped. The strongest spirits come from purebloods. However, the number of pureblood Nonos and pureblood Patchar has decreased. The proportion of mixed races has increased. If things continue this way, there may only be two races left, Nono-Patchar-Daton and Daton-Erin-Bark, which are mixed races.”
For reference, Nono and Patchar cannot be mixed with Erin and the Bark tribe. They are linked by a link to Daton, but even with Daton, a Nono-Daton-Erin mix is impossible.
All Chaun thought, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
“Castle Laurent. What do you think? What do you think about this phenomenon?”
Scholars do not make value judgments.
What I’m saying is, even if we analyze the genes of Daton and Patchar and tell which race actually has more muscles and which part of intelligence is higher and which part is lower, it doesn’t mean that it’s right or wrong.
However, Kass Laurent was also a thorough believer in genetics and evolution. As he had said to Tab Hulu the other day, “I can change your genes and give you a child. But is the child you change your genes to really be your child?” Genes = self, and self is nothing more than a medium to pass on genes to future generations.
“All right. I’ve been saying this before, but it’s better for All Right not to have too many children.”
“Oh? That’s right. Definitely.”
“Because if Ol Chaun, who is immortal, even a male Ol Chaun, had many children, Daton’s genes would be filled with Ol Chaun’s descendants.”
“That’s why I once rebuked him, saying, ‘Then you should have some children.’”
“Yes. Good genes should be passed on to future generations, but that doesn’t mean the genes should be uniform. Even though Manum Lapang won’t listen to me even if he dies.”
“Having children is a happiness.”
“Yes. Anyway, from that perspective… … . I think the distinction between pureblood and mixed-blood is meaningless.”
“hmm……!”
“Datun in the old paradise era. Could even the Datun before Hanjutamal be called ‘pure-blooded’? Could it be that they were created by mixing different races to form ‘Datun’? The same goes for the Patchar. When we came down, the Patchar were already divided into hundreds of tribes.”
Baekkan adds. They are all Baekkan with completely different body types, hair colors, eye colors, beard sizes, etc.
“The important thing is to preserve pure bloodlines and not worry about mixed blood. Those are illusions. Eventually, we will differentiate into different races over time. The important thing is diversity.”
“then?”
“I don’t think pure-blood Daturns should disappear. The same goes for pure-blood Nono and Patchar. They have potential that is worth preserving. However, I don’t think there’s a need to increase pure-blood Daturns, and I don’t think there’s any need to protect their ‘integrity’. That’s because the potential of mixed-bloods is superior on average.”
“hmm…….”
“It is said that Daton has a high affinity for magic power, but if a disaster causes his magic power pressure to drop, he will faint even in high magic power zones by the standards of other races. Can that really be called ‘superior’? I know that All Chaun has affection for ‘Daton’, but I would like to point out that it is an illusion.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Well. Medically, it is easier to treat pure-blood and mixed-blood… … .”
What is Daton? Its logic, its identity. And further, the scope of the ‘family’ that must be protected in Datang.
The closer you are to yourself, the more you love? That kind of scope.
All Chaun thinks for a moment and then says.
“Good. Then, we should maintain a certain number of ‘pure-bloods’, but rather encourage mixed-bloods. No matter what kind of mixed-bloods are, I consider them family.”
He said, “All Chaun sees Medakbo.”
“You are my family too. Even though you are not mixed blood.”
“Because I’m a man.”
“That’s not what I said.”
“Haha! I understand, so it’s okay!”
It’s funny. All Chaun thought to himself, ‘I hope the lineage of the Paradise Era Datons remains…’ but he trusted Castel Loran. He’s smart, so he’s probably right.
He is the leader of all Datons, and he doesn’t care about mixed blood or anything. If that were the case, he should have burned Bark Maza to death from the beginning.
Although he feels a little uneasy, he nods his head, thinking that it is his own shortcoming.
“Huh? That’s strange… … Why isn’t the quarantine working? Normally, by this time, Hanjutamal would have been caught.”
Marechi thinks hard but doesn’t know.
But… … . there is one thing I feel.
The fatality rate of Hanjutamal has been reduced.
Why…? I don’t know. Could this be an evolution of a lower mortality rate? Because we are being too thorough with quarantine?
Marechi is diligently working with the tattooists to prevent the spread of the disease. They have already quarantined a significant portion of the southern region and eradicated all traces of the Hanjutamal, but there is still a long way to go.
15 years until the appearance of the reverse machine.
