Pretending To Be A Boss

What the master of Eden desires in his heart is simply to make this hierarchy more extreme.

Those at the bottom, the unintelligent creatures, don't need to have a sense of being alive; they are merely thorough producers.

The entire world resembles a more immense Pyramid. These creatures that cannot transform into humans, unable to truly enter the Eden Divine Kingdom—

are all remodeled into a uniform appearance, just like the mine slaves at the bottom always wearing the same uniforms, from birth to death, providing immense energy for this world.

But it's not to say that those able to become human-like creatures are happier.

They are eternally dominated by the master of Eden. In the Divine Kingdom, whatever they do or experience every day is all designed by the master of Eden.

Such a world might operate very stably, but this world also has no potential for progress.

Because the master of Eden fears change, any variables that could emerge in this world have been erased.

Diversity among different species.

Varying thoughts among similar species.

All sorts of bizarre human personalities...

All are gone.

Many of the world's creatures have completed their transformation.

In what was originally the White Bone Mountain Range, elite bird creatures residing there shed their feathers, completing the transformation the master of Eden desired.

Human.

No facial features, entirely black.

In the 633,020th world, Tang Xian saw these people.

Just like what he saw in the strange dream when heading to the eighth layer...

Black, humanoid silhouette creatures, like shadows of humans. They have no emotions, just unceasingly transforming the world they reside in.

Constantly providing energy for this world and continually modifying it according to the master of Eden's will.

Though they are still alive, they resemble the mechanical army Tang Xian commands, as if they are lifeless.

This is a truly literal tool human.

Upon seeing these scenes, Tang Xian suddenly opened his eyes.

[What happened?] Junlin sensed something amiss.

"I just saw something uncomfortable." Tang Xian remained calm, at least in his expression.

[What else could make you uncomfortable besides the master of Eden's ugly face?]

Tang Xian glanced at Junlin, then said:

"The master of Eden uses my body. That face is handsome, making countless people feel empathized when they see it. It seems your aesthetic sense needs reshaping."

Junlin had never seen such shamelessness. It changed the topic, saying:

[Am I just going to stay here?]

"You need to protect me," Tang Xian said.

This conversation made Junlin a bit puzzled:

[Though I hate to admit it, the current me is no match for you. I protect you?]

Tang Xian shook his head and said:

"My battle with the master of Eden has just begun. The world is vast, with many species to save. Before they become tools, we must kill the master of Eden. However, the master of Eden will also try to kill me before I find it."

Without waiting for Junlin to ask, Tang Xian said:

"I am calculating this world, and this world does not have my computational ability, but it knows how to destroy a foreign entity. Just like when a virus invades the body, the immune system causes fever; either this world or I, one of us must die."

"Soon we'll see the master of Eden's retaliation. It cannot simultaneously launch an attack in millions of worlds, but it can destroy me first."

[If it can destroy you, it's a disaster I cannot handle. How do I protect you?]

"It's not as severe as you think, but it may indeed be tough to handle. I will be in a state of Divine Sense, using all my Divine Sense to control these judgment knights and mechanical beasts, letting them find the master of Eden. Until now, I haven't spread out all my Divine Sense. Once I do, I won't be able to pay attention in front of me, to put it bluntly, being at others' mercy."

Junlin understood Tang Xian's words, and in surprise, said:

[Just finding it, there's the risk of losing your life?]

"Perhaps finding it is the most challenging part."

Tang Xian's eyes gradually closed, leaving behind a final sentence:

"The master of Eden fears the god of destruction most, and you have potential comparable to the god of destruction. Junlin, next, the life of this world is entrusted to you."

Junlin was shocked, initially trying to say something, but Tang Xian had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The wiser a person is, the less they trust others, aren't they?

Or is this the combination of the human soul and the orderer's ability?

[Hmph, I am not your friend. I'm just more capable of slaughtering that Eden master than you, so I'm not protecting you!]

The sky slightly changed, thunderclouds gathered, and Junlin looked at the sky, saying as such.

Tang Xian naturally couldn't hear it.

His Divine Sense had already thoroughly dispersed into millions of worlds.

In these worlds, a small portion of them has started to exhibit adverse weather, as if the environment gained consciousness, aiming to destroy these judgment knights and mechanical beasts.

But such worlds are few.

Under Tang Xian's control, this mechanical army can easily avoid various hazards.

This reflects the gap in computational ability, at least in this round, Tang Xian being even stronger than the master Eden was at the world's inception!

When millions of variables and worlds operate simultaneously, defending against invaders requires abnormal computational power.

The master of Eden can no longer advance further.

Yet, it still has means to deal with Tang Xian.

If the world itself is its body, then to the master of Eden, Tang Xian is nowhere to hide.

While Tang Xian is still searching for the master of Eden, parts of the master of Eden's consciousness have already locked onto Tang Xian.

The force of the world itself destroying a lone beast is like crushing an ant.

But Junlin and Tang Xian are exceptionally hard to kill.

Within the terrifying thunderclouds, a whirling cyclone seems to form, with surrounding clouds continually being pulled in.

Junlin stood at the pinnacle of a high tower, gazing at the oppressive blackness of the night sky, for the first time witnessing a sea of clouds formed by thunderclouds.

[Indeed, it seems you intend to destroy this world; evidently, you haven't become the true world yet and can only self-dissolve this way.]

Junlin, with fighting spirit ablaze, spread its tattered wings, awaiting the apocalypse thunder calamity.

...

...

Eden Sanctuary.

Above the master of Eden's head, the brilliant starry sky began to darken by the millions, occasionally flickering, making the galaxy appear eerie.

In the real galaxy, the planets flickering with starlight are merely closer. However, in this starry river, the three most dazzling stars each represent a different place.

One of which is where the master of Eden resides.

The other is where Tang Xian is located.

And there's another place where neither Tang Xian nor the master of Eden has personally been.

That is the Holy Mountain of Judgment of the past.

The world where the Holy Mountain resides was finally found by Tang Xian when everyone turned into consciousness entering the Divine Kingdom, except for one exception in the Holy Mountain.

Gu Yin.

A human with nearly infinite lifespan due to special care from the master of Eden.

One of the first to live in Eden Sanctuary, later traveling to the Forbidden Holy Mountain as a creator.

When the platinum judgment knight controlled by Tang Xian found Gu Yin, the black knight, a manifestation of the master of Eden's consciousness, also awakened from its slumber.

This world within the block differs from other worlds, so the master of Eden left behind a guardian.

Just like a protective mechanism to prevent the spread of viruses like Tang Xian's mechanical army.

It's called a black knight because Tang Xian saw it, resembling transformed creatures with no facial features, entirely black.

Like a shadow.

The only difference is the shadow is more burly, seemingly clad in heavy armor.

"Appears to be a combat model?"

Gu Yin was momentarily perplexed, wondering why this sacred land without ancient ape clamor suddenly became a battlefield?

"I must admit, I underestimated you, Tang Xian." This faceless, work-driven shadow person unexpectedly spoke.

Tang Xian wasn't surprised. Eden's master obstructing him here suggested his invasion was effective,

He said:

"Seems you really can't stop me. Wait, there will be a battle between you and me!"
