Chapter 1646

"Asking me to be careful... what about you?"

After hearing the red-haired Director's words, Li Ang did not respond immediately; instead, he couldn't help but look up at her.

The Director hadn't actually finished what she was saying earlier. She had only mentioned how to deceive the Slaughter King Society, how to send back the 【Justice】 bloodline, and how to repair Iron Wang Gong, but she hadn't mentioned her own ending... or perhaps there was no need to mention it.

After recalling the intelligence regarding the Origin God Platform, a trace of helplessness couldn't help but appear in Li Ang's eyes.

The Origin God Platform the Director was going to was the "base camp" for all Outer Gods and the only channel to become a True God. The reason humans in the current world could not ascend to the throne of godhood was that ascending required entering the deepest part of the Origin God Platform and imprinting one's own will onto the corresponding authority.

The relationship between the Origin God Platform and the True Gods was like a plate piled high with fruit. When a new "fruit" wanted to join the plate, all the True Gods would be alarmed. Thus, the Cleanup Bureau and any True God of human origin would inevitably be besieged by all the Outer Gods.

Furthermore, the only things that could take effect in the deepest part of the Origin God Platform were the laws and the principles of the world; Anomalous Objects could not be brought in. Therefore, even the Third Director, who was so strong it was ghostly and could suppress more than one Pillar God in a fight during her lifetime, dared not enter the deepest part of the Origin God Platform.

As for the Director... the result of her going to imprint her authority would naturally be only one: she would be discovered by countless True Gods, and because of her identity as a human cleaner, she would be thoroughly obliterated, not even having the chance to go to the End of Death...

"Have you thought of any other way?"

"..."

It seemed there was none.

After looking at Li Ang's expression, which showed he had more to say, the red-haired Director couldn't help but smile, then took the initiative to speak:

"I already said just now, this isn't a problem that can be solved by you having a better brain or stronger power; it is the only answer, and there is no other way.

Without seeing Iron Wang Gong weakened, the Slaughter King Society would never allow the Ophiuchus Director to ascend to godhood, and the citizens of the East Carlevin Kingdom could never be resurrected. Therefore, I must become the final 【Justice】 bloodline and enter the Origin God Platform with this bloodline to deceive the Slaughter King Society.

And if I don't imprint myself within the Origin God Platform, I won't be able to cross the Origin God Platform to connect to the current world through the conflict between 【Justice】 authorities, nor will I be able to return my 【Justice】 bloodline, making it impossible for Iron Wang Gong to return to its current state.

Li Ang, I am very certain that this is an unsolvable dead knot, and the only way to untie this knot is my life... and I am very happy to do so."

"..."

"Little Li Ang~ your expression is so ugly... don't tell me you're reluctant to let me go?"

After completely confessing her plan to Li Ang, the red-haired Director seemed to have invisibly relaxed quite a bit, returning to her original self.

She was seen pretending to be startled as she blocked her chest, pulled her chair back further, then raised a hand in a "stop" gesture, before blinking her beautiful fox-like eyes and saying with a smile:

"Office romances are a no-go; our Virgin Branch doesn't allow that, and hitting on the Director is the biggest no-go of all~"

"..."

"Besides, even if you had ulterior motives, it's too late."

After glancing at the ring on Li Ang's finger, the red-haired Director sighed in a fake manner, then blinked her calm, water-like eyes and teased him with a smile:

"Although I don't have much morality, I don't really want to make a move on a married man... especially a married man who is fought over whether he's alive or dead, and whose ownership after death has even been decided in advance. I don't want to be targeted by Auntie Ai Ma one day..."

"I am a little reluctant."

"?"

"I mean, I really am a little reluctant!"

After looking at the slightly stunned red-haired Director, Li Ang, whose heart felt blocked, took a deep breath, then turned his gaze away and said in a low voice:

"Although you have many bad habits, you're actually a good person... I don't want this to be your final ending."

"..."

Watching Li Ang, who for once didn't make a sarcastic remark but instead poured out his heart to her, the red-haired Director was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but turn her head to rub her eyes, before saying softly with a hint of emotion:

"Oh my... you really are... really..."

"..." "Quite cute~"

Are you kidding me?!

Facing the Director who was determined to go to her death, Li Ang had finally spoken some heartfelt words, only to receive an exceptionally frustrating evaluation. Li Ang's heart nearly shattered.

Looking at the red-haired Director opposite him who was no longer pretending to rub her eyes but was instead smiling at him, Li Ang, nearly blushing with anger, took two deep breaths, suppressed the urge to lash out at her, and then asked with a dark face:

"Can't you wait a little longer?"

"Wait?"

The red-haired Director couldn't help but blink upon hearing this.

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for me to keep getting stronger!"

Amidst the red-haired Director's surprised expression, Li Ang hesitated slightly, then stared into her eyes and spoke with a serious face:

!

"The hardest part of this matter is that the True Gods control the Origin God Platform. As long as the Slaughter King Society doesn't agree, Director Ophiuchus cannot ascend to godhood, and thus cannot resurrect the citizens of the East Carlevin Kingdom.

And I am not even twenty years old this year; I still have over a hundred years to continue getting stronger. When I reach the level of the Third Director, strong enough to make the True Gods fear, I can completely force them to agree to let Director Ophiuchus ascend to godhood!"

"How can you..."

"You know I don't like to brag. Since I'm willing to say it, I must have a high degree of certainty."

Looking at the red-haired Director, whose beautiful eyes were blinking repeatedly in surprise, Li Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath and continued to try to persuade her:

"I can't guarantee that I will definitely be able to do these things, but your plan isn't 100% guaranteed to succeed either. So instead of you going to the Origin God Platform to die and trading your life for this uncertain result, it would be better to wait for me!"

"..."

Facing the dark, bright eyes before him, in which flames seemed to be leaping, the red-haired Director's lips couldn't help but tremble slightly. After being silent for a long while, she pursed her lips again and shook her head with an apologetic look.

"Sorry."

"..."

Looking at Li Ang, who also pursed his lips tightly, his disappointment plain to see, the red-haired Director said softly with a gentle gaze:

"It's not that I don't believe in you, but this matter can no longer wait."

Can't wait?

Li Ang, deeply disappointed, pondered for a moment, then frowned:

"Director Ophiuchus? Is he under the control of the Slaughter King Society?"

"Mm."

After nodding slightly, the red-haired Director said softly:

"Although Director Ophiuchus isn't very smart, his strength is indeed beyond doubt. To prevent him from being uncontrollable, when the Slaughter King Society resurrected him, they took away his name in advance and signed an agreement with the 【Law Book】.

As long as he doesn't do as the Slaughter King Society requires this time—to cut off the bloodline of the West Carlevin Kingdom to weaken Iron Wang Gong—the White Snake of the Slaughter King Society will use Director Ophiuchus's name to kill him completely.

So it's not that I don't believe in you, but this is already the only opportunity."
