"What are all these things?"

When Cheng Hua woke up again, the flood of information that rushed through his mind almost caused his brain to shut down.

Let's not even talk about the time travel part.

What's the situation now?
Is it really that hard to live a simpler life?
On one side is the game of Ascendants, and on the other is the game of reality.

To be honest, Chenghua was really a bit stunned at that moment.

The immense spiritual power that came with godhood allowed Chenghua to clearly see himself from a higher dimension.

And it was this one look that almost stunned Chenghua, who had a normal sense of aesthetics.

Because, the evil god that appeared in Cheng Hua's eyes at this moment, as a whole, seemed to be a rotten 'six-winged angel' pieced together from rusted pipes, abandoned machinery and rotting flesh.

And on the surface of this eerie 'angel', black and red mist was constantly seeping out, making it clear that it was not to be trifled with.

god?
A malevolent god?

Is this who I am now?

To be honest, looking at the flesh and blood concretion in front of him, which seemed to have been dead for a long time and even looked somewhat inexplicably decayed, Cheng Hua was already considered to have successfully resisted the mental pressure of a real game by not being scared out of his wits.

At this moment, Chenghua was completely dumbfounded, and he was so shocked that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

But in that instant, a strong feeling of dizziness struck.

And so, in what seemed like a sudden fall, on the thirty-seventh floor of the Giant Technology Company...

As the nutrient chamber opened, the brain-computer interface was disconnected.

In an instant, Chenghua was like a drowning person suddenly rising from the water, coughing and gasping for breath.

"Cough cough!!!"

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, Chenghua felt as if he had finally come back to life.

However, it was at this moment that...

When Cheng Hua came to his senses and looked around, he realized that more than a dozen people with extremely excited expressions were gathered in the small metal room of the nutrient tank.

Among these people were the elderly and the young.

But without a doubt, these guys were looking at Chenghua with extreme excitement.

"Hurry up! What are you all standing there for!"

"Quickly help Mr. Chenghua out of the bath!"

The elderly man at the head of the group glared angrily and urged the two female employees around him to hurry up!
soon.

After Chenghua changed his clothes and looked presentable,

In an unprecedented silence, Cheng Hua once again took the elevator, accompanied by the old man and more than a dozen men in black, and began to head towards the top floor of Jubo Technology Company.

at last!

As the elevator doors opened!

Chenghua finally had the opportunity to see the view from the 100th floor of the Giant Technology Corporation, a landmark in this eco-city.

The instant the elevator doors opened.

What met my eyes was a pitch-black starry sky.

The ground has a structure that resembles transparent glass.

Looking down from here, Chenghua discovered that what lay beneath his feet was an aerial view of the entire eco-city.

Like an energy shield half-covered the earth, it protects the entire eco-city from pollution.

Outside the eco-city, the civilian districts built as an adjunct to the eco-city resemble ruins deep in the black fog.

These ruined buildings, densely packed together, stood lifelessly amidst the apocalyptic black fog.

"Clap clap clap!"

Just as Cheng Hua was being captivated by everything beneath his feet, suddenly, a round of applause rang out from the center of this floor, which felt like being in outer space.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chenghua! Your appearance has truly been a wonderful surprise for us!"

"As a newcomer to the Ascension, you received the favor of a great being the moment you logged into the Universal Games for the first time. You even skipped many game processes that many people dared not imagine and ascended directly to godhood."

"This miracle and divine favor have truly left us all in awe!"

The projection-like image disappeared.

Finally, Cheng Hua could see the true nature of the space before him.

This is a floor entirely made of glass, or even LCD screens.

The entire floor was incredibly clean, tidy, and spacious.

At that moment, right in the center of this floor, a man whose entire body was wrapped in a large number of densely packed, cable-like wires was speaking to him.

The man was entangled in a large number of cables and suspended in mid-air.

He looked at Chenghua with a mixture of envy and admiration.

"you are?"

Cheng Hua hesitated as she looked at the man.

"Mr. Chenghua, the gentleman before you is none other than Mr. Hastings Cole, the president of our Giant Technology Company!"

The elderly man who had guided Lin Ke here first greeted Cheng Hua with a smile and introduced the place.

"So you're the company's president!"

"So, Mr. Hastings, you've decided to personally resolve all my current confusion, is that right?"

It must be said that Chenghua remained silent throughout the journey, asking and doing nothing.

But in reality, Chenghua, with the help of the "cheating" in the real game, has already figured out some of his current situation.

Now, although he has been forcibly severed from his connection with the body of the evil god.

But this couldn't hold Chenghua back.

Because Cheng Hua also has the assistance of the real game, if Cheng Hua wanted to, he could instantly summon the body of the Evil God, just like the players on Blue Star, and complete his first experience with the fusion body.

But if he actually did it, he didn't know if the mysterious CEO in front of him would survive.

But this eco-city is definitely doomed!

Therefore, now that he had some trump cards to rely on, Chenghua no longer pretended to be timid and submissive.

Sometimes, taking the initiative is also important.

Cheng Hua stared directly at Hastings Cole.

The tone was less fearful and more calm.

Hastings Cole is also examining Chenghua at this moment.

An ordinary citizen from an outside ecological zone with no background.

A twenty-year-old human who unexpectedly awakens to the status of an Ascended Being.

It's incredible that I received the favor of that supreme being the moment I first encountered the game.

He directly gained countless lives, even the divine favor that Hastings Cole envied.

Hastings Cole didn't know if other 'Universal Game Distributors' in other worlds had encountered something like this.

But at least on Cangxing, Chenghua is indeed a special case that has appeared for the first time.

Therefore, after seeing Cheng Hua's information from the beginning, the president of this giant technology company immediately lost interest.

Although Hastings knew that the information about Chenghua couldn't possibly be fake.

But Chenghua may not be the same person he used to be.

In a world full of unknowns, what is impossible?

Cheng Hua was able to receive the favor of the 'God of Myriad Machines' on his first encounter with Universal Games and successfully complete the process of the God of Myriad Machines giving birth to the Evil God.

So it is quite obvious that Cheng Hua, as the chosen one, must possess terrifying spiritual power!

If spiritual power weren't terrifying, Chenghua would probably be a dead man by now.

It was even impossible to completely condense the body of the evil god on the orbit of the Azure Star.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Hastings Cole never regarded Cheng Hua as an ordinary person.

As for the true origins of Chenghua, that's not important.

Importantly, at the moment Cheng Hua achieved the status of a wicked god, as an ascendant, he was already recognized by Universal Games as a major achievement of 'Giant Technology Business Point'.

That's what happened just now.

Hastings Cole has successfully transformed 'Giant Tech' from a small gaming retailer into a 'distributor' with distribution rights!
These benefits are already significant enough!

To put it simply, if Hastings Cole wanted to leave this world now, he could simply go and work at the headquarters of 'Universal Games'.

As for where Universal Games' headquarters are located, nobody knows.

After all, on Azure Star, not only is Hastings Cole unaware of the origins of the Universal Game, but the hundreds of other eco-cities, large and small, on Azure Star are probably equally unaware as well.

But there's one thing Hastings Cole knows.

That means the mastermind behind the apocalyptic scene that is now on Cangxing has already left Cangxing and gone to work at the headquarters of Universal Games.

After this behind-the-scenes manipulator left, his team, which can also be described as a large number of former high-ranking officials and business owners around the world who are followers of the evil god, left behind.

This has led to the hundreds of eco-cities that are now distributed around the world.

Therefore, there is no doubt that if Hastings Cole were to take a position at Universal Games headquarters, he would gain something beyond imagination.

To put it simply, if he wanted, Hastings Cole could right now directly obtain the qualification to be conceived by the evil god.

But Hastings Cole knew that not everyone could withstand the power of the evil god.

Furthermore, Hastings Cole did not want to become an ugly evil god.

If he had a choice, Hastings Cole would prefer to be a slightly more normal god.

Of course, there are such games featuring deities and universes!

After all, the great beings mentioned in the 'background introduction' of Universal Games are not limited to the 'God of Myriad Machines'.

Among them are the 'Mother of All Things' and the 'God of a Thousand Faces'.

But without a doubt, none of these three beings can be considered benevolent.

However, none of this has anything to do with Hastings Cole.

After all, the world had already collapsed long before Cangxing became one of 'Universal Games' marketing points.

Ultimately, it is thanks to eco-cities that so many ordinary people can survive.

Even the existence of eco-cities is all for the purpose of enabling this planet to nurture sufficiently powerful ascendants.

Just like the evil god that Chenghua has created.

The evil god did not come into being out of thin air.

It wasn't created simply by the so-called God of Myriad Machines using his own power.

In the end, the God of Myriad Machines merely gave him a lump of flesh and blood.

Ultimately, how far this mass of flesh and blood can go depends entirely on the 'potential' of the one who is being sublimated.

All Ascended beings undergo an invisible mechanic-based assessment upon their first entry into the Universal Game.

The main determination is whether the ascended being is suitable to become a believer and follower of any great being.

Then, the three great beings will bestow their share of power upon them.

Relying on the bestowed power and a certain qualification testing mechanism, the strength of the 'game character' that the Ascended can condense for the first time depends entirely on their personal destiny.

Moreover, the initial gaming experience of almost all Ascended beings on Cangxing was not like that of Chenghua.

Every single one of the Ascended Ones on the Azure Star actually had very limited strength when they first acquired their 'game characters'.

Just like when a real game was first launched, or even in the current model, all players will not start at a very high level.

Universal Games is different from real games.

The gap between the upper and lower limits of the starting point is even huge.

But one thing remains unchanged!
That is, whoever has the highest utilization value will definitely receive the most resources.

Just like Chenghua is now.

Because Cheng Hua, as a human from Earth, even if it's a soul transmigration...

As a member of the Blue Star ecosystem and the Mana Will, each of them possesses an invisible and intangible mark within their spiritual core.

If this faint mark were lost under normal circumstances, like Cheng Hua's, it certainly wouldn't attract the attention of Blue Star Mana's will or even the real game.

But if an external force touches this mark, or even intends to use this mark to anchor the blue planet.

Therefore, it is certain that even if it cannot be detected by the Blue Star Mana will, it will be discovered by the more sensitive, or even similar, 'Real Game'.

This is not.

Because of Chenghua's spiritual rebirth, he was chosen as an ascendant.

This led to Chenghua making a fortune by sheer chance.

If the game were any more ruthless, or even if the scheme wasn't too ambitious, the energy it transmitted to protect Chenghua's spirit would have been enough to kill Chenghua countless times over.

Of course, in this kind of death, not even the dregs of the soul will remain.

Therefore, Cheng Hua was able to acquire the God of Evil game character the very first time he became an Ascended Being.

On the surface, everything seems calm, but what's going on behind the scenes is hard to say.

Hastings Cole was very satisfied with Cheng Hua's performance.

It's good that he's not a hothead anymore! It's good that he's not the same boy he used to be!

Only in this way can this person create greater value for the Giant Technology business in the following games.

Thus, amidst the enthusiasm that Cheng Huadu somewhat didn't understand.

The president of this giant technology company immediately dismissed everyone and began to explain the history of Cangxing to Chenghua in detail, and even the general details of Universal Games.
