In the game "Super God," thankfully, it can simulate countless worlds.

[You viewed all the resources related to the third-generation divine bodies in your private dark dimension.]

[This is enough material to build two divine bodies, but your invincible body has consumed a great deal of resources, and these divine body resources are barely sufficient.]

The majority of the divine body model you built is green, indicating sufficient backup resources; a small portion is red, indicating a lack of relevant resources.

[You're still missing a few of the scarce core resources needed for an invincible body. These missing resources are precious materials that a god-like civilization painstakingly collected and produced at great cost.]

[The Angelic Civilization has spent so many years accumulating power, and all they've managed to create is Ah-Zhui's invincible body.]

The resources consumed by an invincible state are evident.

You glance at He Xi, who is beside you studying the engine that powers the Flaming Sword.

[Feeling your gaze, He Xi turned around and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"]

You requested to visit He Xi's private warehouse.

Looking at the divine body model you built, and then at your expectant eyes, He Xi felt completely overwhelmed.

So you have neither the skills nor the resources, and you're just here to freeload off He Xi?

[Even He Xi herself wouldn't give her disciple Zhi Xin an invincible body, and you insist on it!]

You indicated that you wouldn't take it for free; you could owe the missing resources and would pay them back later!

[He Xi doesn't believe a word of your nonsense. After all, if you don't return the resources, she can't exactly go and chop you up with her Star Fate, can she?]

Whether you can win or not is another matter, but with your ability to escape, there's no known way in the universe that can stop you.

[He Xi said she needed to think about it, to assess your character first, and that resources would be discussed later.]

It seems there's a lack of basic trust between you and He Xi.

[Out of desperation, you racked your brains and suddenly came up with a good idea.]

You could go out and beg for alms!

There's no reason why you should silently endure it when Karl dared to attack you.

Do capable people lack resources?

You have traveled to the Sun Star in the Celestial Dao Star System.

[You've decided to have a serious talk with Pan Zhen about Di Leina using a supernova to blow you up.]

You have arrived on the planet Lieyang aboard an angel's flying machine.

[Lieyang is a planet that is only half-formed; it is the mother planet of the Lieyang civilization.]

The reason the Lieyang civilization suffered such a fate was because it meddled in other people's affairs and rashly intervened in the interstellar war of another civilization.

[As a result, the God of War of Nostar cleaved half the planet in two with a single axe strike.]

On the planet Lieyang, you saw buildings similar in style to those of ancient China, but with many differences in details.

Pan Zhen came out to meet you. This guy is the regent of the Lieyang Civilization, and theoretically, he's Di Leina's subordinate.

[However, Pan Zhen actually wields astonishing power; he is the true leader on Lieyang Star, while Lena is currently merely a figurehead within the Lieyang Civilization.]

You shoved Pan Zhen aside and swaggered into the Lieyang Imperial Palace, completely ignoring the heavenly soldiers and generals who tried to stop you.

These small fry are no longer a threat to you.

Xuan Tianji stepped forward, brandishing a powerful, god-slaying weapon, ordering you to stop in your tracks. If you continue to disrespect General Pan Zhen, he will behead you!

You glanced at this little punk, surprised to find he was still alive because of your intervention.

With a single burst of mental suppression, you forced Xuan Tianji to his knees.

[At some point, Xuan Tianji also caused great harm to his past simulated self.]

I never expected it to get this bad!

Ignoring this minor incident, you walked step by step to the top of the main hall and casually sat on Lena's throne.

Pan Zhen glanced warily at Xuan Tianji, who was kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes, and raised his head to ask, "What brings you here?"

Your various abilities are unfamiliar to Pan Zhen, and he has no means to counter them.

Even Karl couldn't handle you, and you even saved Keisha. Pan Zhen could only set aside his pride in front of you.

Even if Pan Zhen possessed ten thousand years of wisdom, under the rule of tyranny, he would still have to bow his head when necessary.

[You sat cross-legged on the throne, propped your head up with your right hand, and casually waved your hand in the direction of Xuan Tianji.]

Instantly, the pitch-black annihilation ray obliterated Xuan Tianji's legs.

Pan Zhen narrowed his eyes; he was completely unable to decipher the method you had just used.

The unknown represents deterrence.

[You spoke so casually, yet I dared to disrespect you. This time I'll only give you a slight punishment, but if there's a next time...]

You straightened up and gently tapped the handrail with your finger.

An aura of spatial and temporal destruction gradually emanated from your body, rapidly expanding outwards.

In an instant, most of the planet Lieyang was enveloped by your aura!

Pan Zhen's expression changed drastically. The Lieyang Star was his bottom line; he couldn't tolerate being threatened with the people of Lieyang.

Pan Zhen suddenly raised his head, and powerful stellar energy converged into his body. As the energy reached its peak, Pan Zhen roared angrily at you.

You can threaten me with the planet Lieyang, but aren't you afraid Earth will suffer the same fate?!

Their blazing sun also possesses the power to destroy an entire civilization!

You gave Pan Zhen a mocking smile and said calmly.

The Supreme God does not accept any threats.

"?"

Lin Yuan stared blankly at his simulated self, who was showing off.

"Is this getting carried away?"

"You don't even care about the Earth anymore, huh?!"

For the first time, he felt a disconnect between his simulated self and his real self.

"This shouldn't be the case. I've been watching this simulation the whole time, and there shouldn't be such a big gap."

Lin Yuan frowned and began to ponder; there must be something wrong here.

"Could it be that my simulated self was tricked by that cunning old man Karl using some unknown means?"

"Did this lead to a change in personality?"

Lin Yuan scratched his head. This didn't make sense either. If he had really been tricked, the emulator wouldn't have given him no warnings at all.

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Lin Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"It's not that we don't care, it's that we're not threatened."

Lin Yuan looked at the simulated text. The simulated version of himself didn't say he didn't care about Earth; he only said he wouldn't accept Pan Zhen's threats.

Lin Yuan recalled the Three-Body world he had simulated for the first time, where the higher powers' control over Earth ironically led to the destruction of humanity.

Instead, it was the fleeing interstellar fleet that took away humanity's last spark.

"If one is threatened or held hostage because of caring, then one has undoubtedly failed as a god."

Lin Yuan lowered his head and glanced at Amy, who was rubbing against his calf. He couldn't help but reach out and pat Amy's head.

"My skills have improved very quickly, and in just a few months I have reached a high position in the world of Super God."

"But I clearly lack the level of thinking that a strong person, or even a god, should possess."

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly: "I never expected that this time, I would be taught a lesson by my simulated self."

It's easy to understand if an enemy threatens him with his home planet and he easily submits.

This will not alleviate the threat to the home planet; on the contrary, it will allow the enemy to intensify their threats.

In the end, neither Earth nor he will have a good outcome.

"No matter how much we care, as long as we are not coerced, the Earth and I will become relatively safe."

Lin Yuan understood the matter and felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Why do kidnappers kidnap their own relatives to extort ransom?

It's because their loved ones are being coerced!

But if all kidnappings fail to yield ransom, the kidnapping profession will disappear completely.

"I just don't know what will happen if an enemy threatens me with the Earth one day."

Will I compromise or not?

When it comes to making a choice, even if he makes the right choice, he will still feel pain no matter what he chooses.

Freedom and protection are always a false proposition.

Lin Yuan clenched his fist: "In order to prevent that day from coming, it seems that some hidden dangers should be eliminated as soon as possible."

If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who raised it!

"This wave can be called a defensive offensive!"

The simulation is still ongoing.
