Chapter 46: Undercover! Drive the Tiger to Devour the Wolf
[You have chosen Option A. Congratulations on making a wise decision. From this day forward, the entire world will tremble at your feet.]
"I don’t care if they tremble or not, but not a single enemy on my list is getting away."
Chen Pingchuan didn’t doubt the abilities of his divine self from the simulation. Looking past the phenomena to see the essence, ignoring the process to focus on the result—he was truly powerful. If there was one person who could rival the Celestial Palace, it had to be him. His thought process could be strange at times, but his strengths far outweighed his flaws.
[You endure the excruciating pain and climb out of bed. Your divine intuition tells you that this place is not safe to linger. Once you survive the coming red rain, you will retreat into the shadows, cultivating a Black Demon Army large enough to crush that blue iron shell into scrap.]
[As for the expressionless man and Big Beard from your memories, you cannot gauge their strength. A mortal’s wisdom is limited, after all. But as a Preparatory God, you can intuit an enemy’s power.]
[The moment you brace yourself and step out the door, you discover a man in sky-blue mechanical armor standing silently in the center of the courtyard.]
[You do not ask for his identity; you can already feel the murderous intent in the air.]
[To your surprise, he merely glances at you and says quietly, "Your insight is lacking." He then turns and flies off. He doesn’t use the typical flame propulsion of mechanical beings, but simply soars straight up into the sky.]
[A smile touches your lips. You have already seen through his method of flight—it is nothing more than a combination of magnetic levitation and reverse-thrust from air jets.]
[Although he does not attack you, your divine intuition screams warnings at you. You choose to trust it. Just as you are about to leave the outer districts in an off-road vehicle, you see the sun again.]
[This scene is very familiar, but the outcome is different from the last.]
[You died at the age of 20.]
