Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 725: The Gods Make Way for Him; The Beginning of World's End!

【Announcement to all citizens of Blue Star...】

That voice began to loop, it was unclear how many times it intended to repeat, like a form of mental pollution.

At this moment, Xie Antong had already brought Lu Ce back to the room. The two of them looked at each other in silence.

Considering that Lu Ce probably didn't want to interact too much with people from the real world, Xie Antong's bug-like skill of direct teleportation was the most perfect way to meet.

As for how Perfect Life would get back, that wasn't something she needed to consider.

"Do you have any plans?" Recalling the words of the Grand Elder in the basement earlier, she instinctively asked Lu Ce.

Just over ten minutes ago, in that basement, when the looping voice of the game notification sounded, a sharp *crack* instantly rang out in the room.

The Grand Elder, Nie Jiu Tian's withered hand, which seemed to be nothing but bone, had actually crushed the armrest of the chair into splinters.

Meeting the difficult gaze of the person before him, he spoke with difficulty and a tremor of shock:

"They... actually dodged!?""This is bad... the situation is much more difficult than I imagined."

That hand, capable of crushing ironwood, was now trembling due to a peculiar kind of fear.

He had always believed that "Sin" was the most crucial entity, because he had brought immense humiliation to the Game and the gods. The gods would definitely try every means to eliminate "Sin."

So he was trying to find a way to help, to protect this tallest pillar before the sky fell.

He never expected that They would truly disregard status and dignity so completely, choosing to simply go around. But if that's the case, then this is the true moment of the sky collapsing!

That national referendum has a very clear purpose. There's no need to elaborate; it's simply to make all citizens become Players, achieving a true game for all, with the Game directly descending upon the world.

For all these years, Nie Jiu Tian's ears had never known peace.

He clearly understood that this kind of true universal participation was the beginning of the end for any world.

Because it's obvious that for the gods, destroying an entire world is much simpler than destroying the few exceptional individuals within it.

Those "Heroes" are still currently residing within the World Relic of Jiang Yuan's world. They all survived!

But their worlds are gone.

"Have They... met the conditions? Shouldn't it still not be enough?!"

"That's not right..."

This act of the gods going around is somewhat illogical. They should need to fulfill some relatively complex conditions first.

Those worlds destroyed before should have been in a different situation compared to Blue Star now. At the very least, their strongest had lost before, proving "this world is inferior to the Game."

But "Sin" achieved a Perfect Clearance in the entire game! There are also quite a few people like Sun and Perfect World who have never lost even once.

Damn! Are these gods just sore losers?

"Is there a problem?" Perfect Life looked at Nie Jiu Tian at this moment, feeling a bit dazed.

"A very big problem. A national referendum with this purpose is world-ending. Your individual strength may become utterly meaningless."

Nie Jiu Tian stood up, making a gesture indicating he intended to see his guests out. The Dragon Group must mobilize.

Regardless of how the rules on the Game's side have changed, the situation has come to this. They must still make a final effort, even if it's largely meaningless.

......

"My opinion? It seems I don't really need to have one."

Lu Ce, wearing the flowing seven-colored mask, shrugged as he spoke.

"According to the Grand Elder, as long as the majority votes to accept the Game, it's directly a game for all, and the world's end countdown begins."

"But I don't think it's necessarily that way, right? Maybe after the universal game, everyone becomes a top-tier expert?"

"To be honest, if I really didn't have the qualification to participate in the Game, I'd also hope for a universal game. Count me in for some fun."

Xie Antong: ......

She was a bit speechless. These words sounded a bit inhumane. In a gu-raising style of selection, only a small minority can ultimately become the top.

However, she also didn't quite understand. Logically, the rules of the Game shouldn't be changed so drastically. It wasn't that she thought the gods choosing to bypass Lu Ce was shameful for them; she just felt...

If They could bypass him, wouldn't They have done it long ago? What were They waiting for?

Face? At least from her contact with [Pleasure], she didn't think the gods would care about that kind of social vocabulary unique to human society.

"I'm not that pessimistic. I think maybe They weren't being completely truthful."

"Anyway, the results will be out in a few hours. I'm leaving first to check on Divine Punishment matters and coordinate with the Dragon Group."

Xie Antong said. Her Divine Punishment stood in an opposing position, curbing many of the Game's objectives.

It had recruited a large number of powerful Players who wanted to side with the Game, blocking the niche of the [Apostles] human traitor organization, preventing the Game side from deploying forces in the mortal world too excessively.

It could be said that that unintended fallout with Lu Ce back then made her the leader of the "human traitors."

Even if the Game realized she wasn't genuinely trying to deal with "Sin," there wasn't much They could do. Their internal rules were set that way.

And now, the Dragon Group, in its official capacity, would try its best to publicly reveal the Game's secrets, explain its threat, and prevent the majority from agreeing to the universal game. But she also felt it was largely meaningless...

Nodding to Lu Ce, she thought of wanting to see the security personnel at her place and directly used Heartward Drift to teleport away.

Lu Ce watched her disappear and simply lay back flat on the large bed. His mindset was quite good.

He believed that everyone had their own pursuits and choices. Everyone was the sole person responsible for their own life and future. There was no need for everyone to act as if they had some kind of "savior" mission.

Besides, with Xie Antong gone, he could finally have a word or two with "that one."

"Did you need something from me?"

Lu Ce said to the ceiling inexplicably, tossing out the Black Knight.

The Black Knight didn't spout any nonsense either, automatically walking to the door to serve as a gatekeeper.

Lu Ce closed his eyes, his spirit entering a space within the Game.

"By the way, as the most impartial existence, can you just come see me whenever?"

Before him was the Arbitrator!

"I came to tell you some good news." The Arbitrator said with a smile. "They chose to go around you."

"I already know that." Lu Ce said indifferently. "Did you manage to gather any other intel? Brother?"
