1037: Chapter 1023 Entanglent 1037: Chapter 1023 Entanglent “If this Earth has a will, then it’s definitely that of a sadistic screenwriter who enjoys ssing around…”
This statent once made by so deity-level big boss resonated in certain high-level circles.
It never likes a smooth-sailing story.
It never likes the protagonists of stories to have a happy ending.
It always, in unexpected places, gives you that harsh kick…
perhaps if you get through it, you’ll receive rich and even doubled rewards, but in that mont…
“…that truly hurts to the core.”
So have tried to explain this behavior of Earth.
“Its resources are limited, so it can only prioritize nurturing those with potential…
as a result, Ascension is much more difficult here than in other worlds, but as a trade-off, the strength of our world’s deities and Quasi-Gods is not low.”
“It is seeking more evolutionary possibilities, forcing us to evolve to supplent the rules it requires…”
“This is karma…
It’s our human traditional views that have shaped the low-level logic of this world’s operation; in the end, it’s our human ‘group consciousness’ that led to all this.”
“Similar to heavenly tribulations?
Or the tribulations of inner demons?
It does seem quite like that.”
Different academic and philosophical circles have provided plausible answers, and believe it or not, so seem quite credible…
“…Stop making excuses for that bastard, it simply wants to watch the excitent!”
Yet certain opinions strike a deeper chord.
Though as it turns out, it indeed makes most high-order professionals, strongn, and even innate big bosses more mature, each with a bunch of stories and grievances.
But when it really cos to oneself, when it really happens, experiencing being crushed by that dump truck of confusion, everyone deeply resents it…
“…Has he really faced ‘that woman’?”
In Fei’er’s eyes, Lu had beco even more mysterious…
She hated her own immaturity, completely unable to gather information.
It was at this ti that she realized that this young man, who had always given her an inexplicable good impression, had such incredible strength and experience.
Looking back, those unreasonable parts suddenly seed normal.
Previously, Lu Ping’an felt that his “Avatar Big Cat” was even more outrageous than he rembered…
As his “fear avatar”, this was obviously not normal.
In fact, it wasn’t his fear avatar…
but actually, it wasn’t Fei’er’s either.
The two of them were truly fated, as they were destined to draw their deepest fears, their least desired encounters, the strongest of them all…
definitely Kerdalais!
Two Kerdalais, the sa entity could not appear in two places, so, triggering the Secret Realm’s internal chanism, they were rged together and given a super double boost.
But that thing was obviously not sothing the Secret Realm could produce…
After all, Fei’er, once being the successor, was probably the person in this world who knew Kerdalais best, and her fear of it further magnified its strength in the depths of her heart.
Add to that Lu Ping’an’s “fear” and “hostility”, the strength of this thing could potentially reach or even surpass the original.
If it were to truly manifest, even the eighth-tier Emcee above would be a one-hit kill.
Of course, the limits of this Secret Realm also ant it couldn’t possibly give birth to such a monster, failing was inevitable.
“How are you feeling?
Missing grandfather?
Once things settle down a bit, I’ll take you to see him,” Lu Ping’an said, looking down at the anxious-faced little girl, offering reassurance.
From his perspective, eting Little Mu was re chance…
but since her grandfather offered a generous reward, he had to provide corresponding service.
Not to ntion, this Little Girl was quite obedient and cute, not at all like a typical child who is constantly crying and fussing.
A natural high affinity made it much easier for Lu Ping’an to communicate, and this “good impression” subconsciously made him think all this was normal.
Fate indeed is a screenwriter full of dark humor, as just a short while ago, all of Lu Ping’an’s actions have co full circle at this mont.
But from his perspective…
“Is she just a little girl?
Even if she’s talented, has secrets…
isn’t that a good thing?
I’m indeed short on talent here,”
So things, unless voluntarily revealed, are impossible to see through.
He could never have imagined that within that young body, there was a soul intricately connected to his own.
After all, in reality, “age” is the best label and proof, especially since Xiao Mu really was just a little girl, both inside and out.
A normal girl’s societal experience is bound to be limited.
“…
Competitors have one day to rest and adjust.
Of course, if you are already satisfied, you can apply to withdraw here, and you can keep a Divine Grace without withdrawal…”
As the trials continued, aside from the rare few who breezed through (like Lu Ping’an), the others, even if they barely passed, all looked distressed.
Their current state of mind clearly wasn’t suitable for the next round…
A ‘Martial Fight Warrior’ in poor condition couldn’t perform a rite pleasing to the God of Martial Fight.
It was an appropriate arrangent, a night’s rest and adjustnt, although expected.
But now that it really ca, many were relieved…
to continue fighting back-to-back would have been too sad.
Yet, this night was still bound to be restless….
“….
Brother Su, can I go play with Eve?”
The little girl’s words took Lu Ping’an by surprise.
But on second thought, it seed only natural; in the naive eyes of the little one, perhaps they were still good friends.
“Don’t go…
It’s dangerous.
And she probably doesn’t want to see you right now.”
Seeing Lu Ping’an say this, watching the little girl nod with so confusion and unease.
She clearly didn’t know about any threats, but she obediently refrained from pressing the issue, easing Lu’s concern.
If she really pressed for an answer, he wouldn’t know how to respond…
“Thank goodness, she’s a good girl…”
Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief.
He really wasn’t used to taking care of children, and Xiao Mu was an exceptionally obedient and good girl, which was a relief.
And indeed, he himself had a lot of work to do.
“…
One informant might not be enough; better to find a few more.
Tch, my identity has been exposed; those grey-area folks might not dare to trade with .”
Those who should have been eliminated were eliminated.
Tomorrow’s third round, the official match, begins…
Without weaker opponents, the brutal ‘reward race’ to attract the attention of the deities and directly obtain Divine Grace, would naturally be exceptionally cruel.
In such a competition, there was so much preparation one could do…
If everyone else has intelligence and you don’t, it ans being at a disadvantage right from the start.
“Right, I still have to et Wang Hai…”
Wang Hai also passed…
It’s worth ntioning that he won quite easily.
His opponent was a completely Ghost Transford version of himself.
Strong hardware indeed, but it had obviously lost rationality, which made it easy for the seemingly well-prepared Wang Hai to control with ease.
Lu Ping’an noticed that, excluding a few special cases, most of those who passed the test were ‘martial monks (Awakeners Fighters)’, with Runner types like himself constituting only about one-tenth or two-tenths, although Runners are overwhelmingly nurous in the lower end part-ti ranks.
It seems Big Cat wasn’t kidding, the Runners’ shortcomings in so areas are indeed quite obvious.
Awakeners show a clear advantage in controlling their inner “fears” and “beasts.”
It is said that high-level Awakeners can even create “imaginary spaces,” using their minds to simulate real battles, and in actual combat, they can almost cheat with their predictive abilities.
Lu Ping’an even observed that these Awakeners seed to have “High Spiritual Power” as their basic attributes, while the Runner types mostly have “High Physique and High Reflex”…
The paths of the two are quite different; he must study this carefully.
But for now, all Lu wanted was to finish “making contact,” then take a nice bath and get so sleep.
What he didn’t realize was that this night, seemingly a halfti break, would not be easy.
So things only crawl out of the shadows when night falls….
