Doomsday Code

Chapter 945 Tactical Arrangements

This was the first time Chen Cheng had seen such helplessness in one of the world's top experts.

Their realm and strength are an unattainable dream for the other 99.9 out of 10 billion people; only the tiny 0.1 out of 10 billion people can try to reach them.

And the probability of actually becoming one of them is incredibly small, within that one in a hundred billion.

Even such beings, who seem like gods on earth, still have their own helplessness, and this helplessness stems from their innate talents, which are predetermined from birth.

And how ironic that is for others.

Seeing Chen Cheng remain silent, Kui Niu, standing beside him, glared at Ge Long before speaking:

"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. Throughout history, not even a single emperor has ever been able to ascend to godhood. This might just be a legend."

Moreover, I think this is better. This power won't be created out of thin air. The burden of maintaining legendary beings like us in this world is already heavy enough.

If we remain immortal gods, what will happen to our descendants? They will have no room for advancement.

While Kui Niu's words aren't entirely accurate, they can be considered a good explanation.

Chen Cheng had written countless online novels in his previous life, and the reasons why the protagonists in those novels killed the mastermind behind the scenes were all kinds of strange, but in the end they all couldn't escape the squeeze-out from Kui Niu's point about taking power.

Moreover, his past life's history had taught him that when a very small number of people control more than 90% of the wealth in society, what follows is not social prosperity, but an absolute and bloody redistribution of wealth.

So he should be grateful, at least in all the long history he has not had to consider that the final boss he will have to fight will be an old monster god who has lived for countless years and absorbed countless powers.

He's not the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel. At least over the years, he's never successfully shown off in front of others. Every time, he's been humiliated and forced to run away, then he's left with a tiger skin that could bring him to his death at any moment. In the end, he still has to work hard to build the real city.

So, having a lifelong case of laziness, he certainly doesn't want to end up as some kind of old monster.

After breaking free from the mental exhaustion caused by Ah Q's self-deception, Chen Cheng looked at the great sage who now had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

At this moment, the great sage was no longer the dashing figure he had been at the beginning; he looked like an old man who had suffered a stroke.

Do you still need him?

Golong pointed to the Great Sage lying on the ground.

The reason for not killing the Great Sage was to avoid alerting the enemy. However, since he had already alerted the enemy in his memories, there was no need to keep this beast, the Great Sage, alive.

However, Chen Cheng did not kill him directly, but instead looked at Lifia next to Noah.

After reviewing the beast's memories, Chen Cheng felt it would be better to let Lifia kill it.

When Lifia saw Chen Cheng looking at her, her eyes blazed with fury, and she immediately delivered a devastating blow to the Great Sage, reducing him to ashes.

Seeing that the Great Sage had not even left ashes, Lyfia stopped crying and instead bowed solemnly to Chen Cheng.

"Thank you, senior."

Thinking of Lifia's background, Chen Cheng could only say that there was no limit to how tragic things could get.

Noah then stepped forward and stood before Chen Cheng, saying:

"Please take us with you, senior. We also need to go back and protect the residents who trust and support us."

Chen Cheng recalled the scene in his memory where the whole city came to see Noah and his companions off, and the image of the pot-bellied king who liked to drink, joke, and chat with ordinary residents. Indeed, that was the person who deserved to be protected the most.

Chen Cheng didn't try to stop Noah and the others by saying they weren't strong enough. Just as they said, they chose to become heroes not to show off in front of others, but to protect the people and things they wanted to protect.

I have no right to deprive them of this responsibility and commitment.

Chen Cheng then drew a rough map of the capital city from his memory on the ground, especially emphasizing the central square of the capital city, and then began to arrange tactics.

Actually, it's quite simple. Noah and his group were responsible for contacting the king and guiding the residents out of the city. Chen Cheng and his friends, on the other hand, were responsible for confronting the gods head-on.

Because at this level of combat, there are no shortcuts; it's all about head-on battles.

While Noah and his companions were evacuating the residents, they also had to use their status as heroes to expose the disguise of the god Zhi Nian among the people and cut off his faith power.

In fact, this is also a pit that God dug for himself.

I don't know where he found this collection of old-fashioned hero stories. Although the plot is old-fashioned, it is very convenient for him to gain the power of faith. However, there is a big flaw in it, which is the most famous hero in the story.

Originally, the heroes died in batches, so there was no real flaw in their system. But with the situation like today, if a hero could stand up and say that he is a false god, then his old and fragile faith-collecting model would immediately collapse.

Due to population limitations, his system could not form a cohesive religious force; at most, it would be represented by great sages and a few heroes throughout history.

The Great Sage is his man, and the Heroes are rotated in batches, which is why it looks very stable.

Now that the great sage is gone, the hero naturally commands a large following.

"Senior, there's one more thing. What if that god only chants his name and then, cornered, starts a massacre in the city?"

Noah's problem is very real. Indeed, if things were as Chen Cheng said, then the gods might very well give up and do nothing.

However, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, that guy won't do that, because in his eyes we're not a big enemy, just a bunch of ants that can be crushed."

The residents of the capital city are like wheat fields he has carefully tended for thousands of years; how could he possibly burn down his painstakingly cultivated fields because of a few insects?

This is actually because Chen Cheng knows that the power of faith is the source of the power of the gods; otherwise, he would definitely have had the same worries as Noah and the others.

"And I think that before you directly say that he is a false god, he might just quietly watch you evacuate the people."

Chen Cheng smiled smugly.

After all, there are probably not many people in this world who truly understand the importance of faith to the gods, and that guy, God Only Thoughts, would never have imagined that he knew this.

He might even be hoping that Noah and the others would evacuate the people, since it wouldn't be good if he broke a few of his rice stalks while cleaning up the insects.

After explaining his tactical ideas, Noah and the others nodded, and then the group began to travel through the night.
