"The gods have begun to awaken from their long slumber."
Ariana's calm voice, however, struck Ning Feng like a thunderclap across the night sky, causing his breath to catch in his throat for a moment.
Gods...
He's about to wake up!?
"Although the gods are still asleep, the situation has begun to improve, and they will one day return to reclaim their rightful authority."
Ariana nuzzled Ning Feng's hand, signaling him not to stop, and squinted her eyes teasingly:
"Although those willful guys seem to be playing the villains, you don't really think they'll just keep sleeping like this, do you?"
Of course not.
Ning Feng, a self-proclaimed veteran player who has watched countless game trailers, understands one principle very well.
If something appears in an expansion pack, then it must be meaningful!
Enemies, friends, romanceable characters and their sisters and relatives (cough), behind-the-scenes villains... every detail is designed so that their future appearances won't seem abrupt or give the audience a sense of disjointedness, like a mechanical deus ex machina.
Upon arriving in this world, Ning Feng noticed the illusory concept of "gods," which seemed incredibly sophisticated.
A faction that is invincible in the early stages and is also severely restricted is treated exactly like a late-game boss.
He was absolutely certain that the divine would become a significant part of his life at some point in the future, bringing about tremendous changes.
But Ning Feng didn't expect... this change to happen so soon!
Are you kidding me?!
I just killed my first succubus; she was a brand-new, fresh-faced newbie, fresh out of the factory.
Then, in a moment, they told me I could go out and pick up customers—huge, incredibly big clients, and a huge number of them.
You're playing this high game right from the start... Don't you even ask me if I can handle it?
but……
After his wild thoughts subsided, Ning Feng calmed down and regained his composure.
Panic at such a time serves no purpose other than revealing one's cowardice.
As I said before, panicking won't help.
Moreover, the Awakened Organizations have been waiting for the gods for so long, surely they have some ideas prepared?
Since we were able to defeat the followers of the gods in the past, it's not too much to ask to clash with the gods a thousand years later, is it?
Even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up; the Watchers' Society's millennia of accumulation is no joke.
I am just an ordinary person who longs for awakening. It is not my place to take up the banner of counterattacking the gods.
Just then, a silky touch interrupted Ning Feng's thoughts.
Um?
It gently tapped Ning Feng's nose with its tail, and a cool sensation rushed straight to his brain, instantly sobering him up.
Her playful voice seemed to carry a hint of admonition as Ariana whispered:
"Ning Feng, don't underestimate the gods."
"Humans these days will have a very difficult time if they only look at their superficial strength."
"Even the weakest deity is still a deity. Don't try to judge a deity's worth with the mindset of a mortal."
The measure of the gods.
The unfamiliarity of the word actually evokes a sense of unexpected seriousness.
"So what do you think those stingy and willful guys would do if they found out what you've done?"
The answer is yes.
Disaster is inevitable!
After assuming that the human world would be in great danger, Ning Feng pursed his lips and then slowly asked:
"Are you... really sure about this news?"
Although Ariana has shown many special qualities and demonstrated her status, this matter cannot be taken lightly.
"I'm sure of it!"
How did you find out about this?
"Oh dear, I'm just a cute kitten, how would I know about such complicated things?"
Ning Feng's cheek twitched, and he took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his complicated emotions.
Don't get angry, don't fall into her trap, and don't let her make a fool of you again!
However, since Ariana is unwilling to talk, there is no point in pressing her for answers. The most urgent thing is to report it.
Ning Feng stopped in his tracks as he took out his phone to make a call.
"I have to tell you... no."
There was no way to report this matter directly to higher-ups.
The mere fact that this information came from left Ning Feng with no reason to defend himself.
If the news is false, that's fine; at worst, I'll just get a few sarcastic remarks.
But if the information is correct, then there's something to talk about: how do you know all this?
Did you hear a message from some being?
What kind of being could know these things?
Did they foresee the future?
Okay, we can believe it, but let's analyze it in slices first.
If Ning Feng has a clear conscience, he can openly and honestly let them examine his body and bravely offer his body.
But the problem is, he doesn't dare!
Ning Feng knew he had a secret.
Putting aside the black cat lady hiding in the shadows, his awakened reincarnation memories and cheat ability alone are enough to give him a hard time.
"...I can't say it directly."
The only option is to conceal one's identity and report the news indirectly. But the question is, how can one keep it from others?
His status as a prospective Watcher operator became a hindrance, and being constantly protected also meant being constantly monitored.
We must find a way to evade surveillance...
despair.
Suddenly, a light touch on his knees caused the black cat, which had been dozing off, to perk up. It excitedly floated in mid-air and announced:
