Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang had no objections. After all, the upgraded world was a toy of the gods, and she could play with it however she wanted. After all, she was the ruler.

It's normal that Zuo Chang doesn't understand her thoughts and ideas because she has existed for so long, and it's even more difficult for him to control her.

Adventurers' highest level is limited to the seventh realm.

As long as she likes it.

What surprised Zuo Chang was her approach. Divine crystals and skill stones—what wonderful inventions!

Unexpectedly, the gods had already secretly set a price from the very beginning.

Such a convenient thing hides such a sinister scheme!

He asked, "All the adventurers who benefited from your convenience will be demoted. What about those who relied solely on their own efforts?"

The god scoffed: "There are no more adventurers like that. In the past, adventurers needed to drink potions to advance in order to advance, and they had to go through great lengths to collect all the materials needed to make potions... A thousand years later, the potion recipes have been lost. The waves I've stirred up will affect all adventurers."

"..."

Zuo Chang looked bewildered. He gestured with his hand and said, "Then you can begin. Anyway, I'm not in a superior position in terms of cultivation level. We're all at the seventh level, so I don't need to worry about the safety of you, me, or anyone else."

"I can't start. Only I in my prime could drag the whole world down with me, but when I woke up I had lost most of my power, so I can't do it anymore."

Unable to contain himself, Zuo Chang asked, "Then what was the point of saying all that just now? To show off?"

The god slowly shook his head: "Of course not, I no longer need to show off. It's impossible to start immediately, but I have already set up the corresponding 'mechanism'. As long as someone triggers it, the world will be downgraded—because that is my punishment from my heyday."

Punishment from the gods?

mechanism?

Zuo Chang was puzzled and looked at the god.

The god raised his hand, and an image appeared in his palm: "It begins."

Chapter 342 Gathering

The Sea of ​​Reflections, in an unnamed city.

Pharos, the Soul-Eating Demon Dragon, sat at his desk, writing something on a piece of paper with a fountain pen.

He is making a request for instructions.

He put down his pen, picked up his teacup, and walked to the window.

The study window faces the sea, offering a stunning view.

Pharos suddenly sneered: "Heavenly King General... a fraudster!"

He doesn't deserve so many accolades, much less the title of "legend."

The existence of gods;

The existence of the Sea of ​​Reflection.

He told the Dragon Queen such important information without hesitation or reservation?

This is simply...

He can't be described as amateur or innocent; he's a laughingstock!

Such a crucial situation naturally attracted immediate attention. After a meeting, the Senate determined that they must immediately accept Zuo Chang's invitation, dispatch elite troops to participate in the project, and—

Seize the opportunity to take it!

indeed.

The Dragon Queen is a follower of the gods, but before that, she was a follower of power and authority, and a follower of greed.

In the past, dragons dared not mess with the gods, because the gods were truly powerful;

but now……

Does this mean they too can become gods? Become the true, undisputed rulers of the world?

Oh, what an incredible temptation.

"Ok?"

Pharos spoke, and saw writing appear on the paper spread out on the table:

[Use of the Fate Difference Machine is permitted. Must remain hidden.]

"great."

Pharos muttered to himself, opened a box under the bed, and took out a machine the size of a computer tower with many brass pillars and gears.

This is--

"what is this?"

In the Sky City, Zuo Chang pointed to the image condensed by the gods and asked, "What did Pharos take out? It looks very high-level."

The deity remained unfazed: "The Destiny Difference Machine."

"...So, what is it?"

"A very high-level magical item that can only be used once."

The deity looked at the screen and said, "First, you need to obtain the target's hair, nails, or blood as a sacrifice. Then, throw the sacrifice into the Fate Difference Machine, and the machine will begin to calculate—calculate the target's future and the probability of the target dying in those futures."

Zuo Chang remained silent and listened quietly.

The deity continued, "Once the probability of death for a certain event in the future reaches one hundred percent, this event can be extracted and immediately realized. In this way, the target will die."

"..."

It does not make sense?

Zuo Chang looked incredulous and asked, "I won't ask you about the principle behind this for now, but what if—what if the target person has a smooth and successful future?"

"Humans will all die of old age one day. Once the Fate Difference Engine calculates that time, death is inevitable."

Hey!

Zuo Chang found this even more unacceptable!

He spread out one hand and asked in surprise, "Then what's the point of pretending to calculate? Aren't we doomed to die anyway?"

The god said solemnly, "This thing is ineffective against me, so I am not necessarily going to die."

"are you human?"

"You're very rude. Although I'm certainly not human."

Zuo Chang was speechless.

He looked at the differential engine running on the screen and asked, "Whose fate is the Soul-Eating Dragon calculating?"

The deity succinctly stated: "That White Scale."

"?!"

Zuo Chang was taken aback at first, then suddenly stood up!

Who?

The god looked at him and continued, "It's that Bai Lin under your command."

“…Fuck.”

Zuo Chang instinctively wanted to go to the rescue, but he didn't know if it would be too late.

He spun around in place, looking somewhat comical, but the urgency on his face was genuine.

He raised his voice and roared, "You...God, since you knew all along, why didn't you say so sooner?! We...we must stop him immediately!"

"That Bai Lin won't die; this was part of my plan all along."

The gods understood that Zuo Chang was truly anxious.

Therefore, she first stated her conclusion before explaining, "Moreover, I didn't know this all along; I only found out just now. I only receive the corresponding prompts and see the specific scenario when someone is about to trigger the 'mechanism' I set up."

Zuo Chang frowned and remained silent, clearly unaware of the gods' plans.

clap clap!

The deity patted the seat next to her and smiled slightly: "Don't rush, sit down and see. I guarantee in the name of the deity that Bai Lin will not die."

"...You better not be lying, because this is about whether I'm still willing to do things for you."

Zuo Chang sat down with suspicion.

In the scene, the Fate Difference Engine suddenly emits a dazzling light, and the continuous "click-click" sound temporarily stops.

"what!"

The Soul-Eating Demon Dragon Pharos laughed: "One hundred percent! He's dead!"

"呲-"

In the scene, the Fate Difference Engine suddenly emits black smoke, and the entire machine falls apart.

The deity remained calm and said, "Calculating the fate of others comes at a high price. This machine is extremely valuable; the Dragon Queen has spared no expense."

Zuo Chang remained silent.

Then, a portal suddenly appeared in the room, and Bai Lin fell out of it, landing hard on the ground.

"Well……"

He let out a muffled groan but did not stand up immediately.

Zuo Chang quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on the side of Bai Lin's neck: "Bai Lin! Bai Lin!"

The pulse is still there.

popping.

Zuo Chang gently patted his cheek and asked, "Can you hear me?"

"Uh……"

Bai Lin's handsome face was contorted, his forehead covered in sweat.

After a long while, his eyes finally focused: "...General? I..."
