"What the hell is all this?"
When Cheng Hua awoke again, the flood of information that flashed through his mind nearly caused his brain to crash.
’First, I got transmigrated, and now this.’
’What is even happening?’
’Is it so hard just to live a simple life?’
On one side, there was the Ascender game; on the other, the True Game.
To be honest, Cheng Hua was completely bewildered.
The vast Spiritual Power he gained after his Ascension to Divinity allowed Cheng Hua to clearly observe himself from a higher dimension.
But this very sight was enough to shatter Cheng Hua’s normal sense of aesthetics.
The Sinful God that appeared before his eyes was like a decaying Six-winged Angel, pieced together from rusted pipes, discarded machinery, and rotting flesh.
A blackish-red smog constantly seeped from the surface of this bizarre "Angel," making it clear at a glance that this being was not to be trifled with.
’A god?’
’A Sinful God?’
’Is this me now?’
Honestly, staring at this amalgamation of flesh that looked as if it had died long ago and was in a state of inexplicable decay, the fact that Cheng Hua hadn’t been scared witless was a testament to the effectiveness of the True Game’s Spirit resistance.
At this point, Cheng Hua was completely dumbfounded, almost unable to catch his breath.
But in that same instant, a powerful wave of dizziness washed over him.
Then, amidst a sensation of a sudden fall, he found himself on the thirty-seventh floor of the Giant Technology Company.
The nutrient pod opened, and the Brain-Computer Interface disconnected.
In a flash, Cheng Hua was like a drowning man breaking the surface, coughing and gasping for air.
"COUGH, COUGH!!!"
Drawing in a deep breath of fresh air, Cheng Hua finally felt alive again.
However, at that moment, as Cheng Hua came to his senses and looked around, he realized that a dozen or so incredibly excited people were gathered inside the small, metal room with the nutrient pod.
Among them were old men and young people.
But without a doubt, every one of them was looking at Cheng Hua with expressions of extreme excitement.
"Quickly! What are you all standing around for!"
"Go help Mr. Cheng Hua out of the pod!"
The old man in the lead glared and urged the two female employees beside him.
Soon, after Cheng Hua had changed and tidied himself up, he rode the elevator once more.
In an unprecedented silence, he was escorted by the old man and a dozen men in black, ascending to the top floor of the Giant Technology Company.
Finally, as the elevator doors slid open, Cheng Hua had the chance to see the view from the one-hundredth floor of the Giant Technology Corporation, the heart of this Eco-City.
The moment the elevator opened, what greeted him was a pitch-black, starry sky.
The floor was a structure like transparent glass.
Walking on it and looking down, Cheng Hua discovered that below his feet was a panoramic view of the entire Eco-City.
An Energy shield, like a dome clasped over the land, protected the whole Eco-City from contamination.
Outside the Eco-City, the Commoner districts built as its appendages looked like ruined buildings deep within a black fog.
These ruins were densely packed, existing lifelessly within this apocalyptic world of black fog.
"CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!"
Just as Cheng Hua was captivated by the scene below, a round of applause suddenly echoed from the center of the floor, which felt like being in outer space.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cheng Hua. Your emergence has truly given us a great surprise!"
"As a novice Ascender, you received the favor of a great being on your very first login to the Cosmic Game. You even skipped a game progression that many couldn’t imagine and achieved Ascension to Divinity directly."
"This miracle, this Divine Favor, has truly left us all in utter shock!"
The projection-like image vanished.
Finally, Cheng Hua could see the true appearance of this space.
The entire floor was made of glass products—or rather, liquid crystal displays.
The floor was unbelievably clean, tidy, and spacious.
And now, in the very center of this floor, a man completely entangled in a dense mass of what looked like cables was speaking to him.
