Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Plan, Strategy for World Salvation

Gu Shanhai held the plan that He Lingyun gave him, which had three core points: gather the survivors, collect supplies, and rebuild the base. It was a very detailed guide, and all he’d have to do was find the specific talents and then he could could be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"No wonder he’s the Heavenly Destiny Person, the special ability he’s awoken is truly terrifying."

Now, he had some guesses about He Lingyun’s ability: the first was naturally a hundred percent success rate in exams, the second was suspected foresight into the past and future, and as for the third, it was probably something similar to a counterpart, being able to absorb abilities from counterparts in other timelines. The fourth ability was related to his body, allowing him to regenerate limbs and heal rapidly.

If the third ability were in someone ordinary, it wouldn’t be much, but in He Lingyun, it was different—he was gradually becoming another God of Mankind. He wasn’t as deeply wronged and vengeful, but he shared similar ideas.

Is it like not turning evil?

But Gu Shanhai wasn’t clear whether the other party would be influenced by the God of Mankind·He Lingyun from the destroyed and deviated timeline.

If so... then he might once again become a tyrant.

"The probability isn’t small..."

Looking at the current situation, what He Lingyun absorbed more was the philosophy of human interaction rather than strength because for He Lingyun, strength was not really a big issue; the version of him now was enhanced.

He even doubted that once his Utopian plan was complete, regardless of whether the prefix "iron-blooded" was attached to Utopia, the overall development would become extremely terrifying.

With the perfect success rate in examinations combined with foresight, he used future development as the kindling for the present, causing the foundation to flourish. A single person could drag the progress of a civilization forward.

Those players who cheated with their talents probably couldn’t surpass He Lingyun.

Gu Shanhai knew of some absurd players— their talents were simulators, future forums, textual prompts, and so on, which gave them the ability for rapid development. But if they met He Lingyun, they probably wouldn’t be impressive. They had the Prophet’s foresight, but so did He Lingyun.

Therefore, Gu Shanhai didn’t feel that the Prophet’s foresight he had upon his rebirth was that impressive. These players knew much more than he did, but not one of them outlived him.

These talents were indeed dominant early on, allowing the players to leave others in the dust. However, their dependence was great, and in the later stages—that is, the mid-to-late first version—as the experts and pro players became the big bosses, predicting their actions with such talents was a pipe dream.

Who didn’t have abilities like fate shielding, fortune-telling failure, and the like? Unless you were a player specialized in fate, prophecy, and divination, you would basically not be able to calculate the trajectories or traces of such bosses.

And how could players with these talents choose such a system? Instead, they would easily use hidden professions or defy-the-heavens bloodlines, and then... they’d crash and burn.

It seemed they were strong but their mentality couldn’t keep up. They became arrogant and overly trusted in the results of their talents.

It was all too smooth sailing, they didn’t encounter enough setbacks—that was the trouble. Gu Shanhai started from the bottom in his previous life. Initially, he was just a noob, flitting between B and A grades, and only gradually rose to become a big boss.

Gu Shanhai shook these thoughts from his mind. He didn’t need to worry about encountering such dominant players. These players were top-notch in the first echelon in the early stage, now taking as much as they could, but they’d have to pay it back later, which was one of the reasons for their demise.

For instance, cutting off the main protagonist’s chance, taking away the predestined treasure, etc. Once the world was devoured and assimilated by the "First Epoch," they would be pulled to compensate the loss.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t take it, but you needed to have methods and ways to take it. Gu Shanhai had also taken similar things, but he was fine since he paid the price, like blocking a catastrophe the protagonist should have faced, or helping the world with some cleaning tasks—only then was it safe to take.

Natural treasures fall to those with virtue; the main protagonist was given support for doing things for the world like resisting great calamities or being an insightful individual who could open a new era, and so on.

The main protagonists Gu Shanhai had seen were basically not those indulged in wine, wealth, and qi or of vile character. Instead, they had their own unique charm and ability to gather a large number of people’s hearts. Even the God of Mankind·He Lingyun, who ruled the entire Utopia with iron-fisted methods, had the people’s support and was considered an extremely talented and strategic ruler, leading everyone towards a better life.

And indeed, that was the case—the citizens gained eternal life, entered the Great Universe Era, undertook cosmic colonization, and made the entire human race the supreme species of the universe, and more. These were all feats accomplished by the God of Mankind·He Lingyun in the original timeline.

He had also mixed in with quite a few main characters, mainly because not only were there rewards for world mainline missions, but there were also various additional gains.

In contrast, those players with a Prophet’s intuition who stepped on the main character or competed for chances at the beginning mostly didn’t escape the final reckoning.

Had He Lingyun not awakened thirty years later, Gu Shanhai would have definitely hung around him to reap some benefits.

After all, he couldn’t wait thirty years, but unexpectedly, he now became a Minister of Dragon in another way. Not to mention other things, just the sample of the flesh and blood of the God of Mankind had already paid off.

There would likely be other benefits to follow.

As for feeling humiliated running errands for others? What humiliation—that’s just working for someone. The boss wasn’t selling you pie in the sky; he was genuinely offering wealth and rank.

"Let’s see, the first talent, awakened to the earth and stone ability... Hmm, a master of construction, but he didn’t tell me how to get the person to follow me."

Gu Shanhai looked at the guide in his hand, speechless for a moment. After specifying the time, place, and the individual, there were no further strategies.

"But I have to say, it’s amazing that he can survive; nearly eighty already," Gu Shanhai commented.

This time’s target was a seventy-nine-year-old man, an engineer in his younger days but now retired.

That’s right; the place where he was now was a nursing home.

He estimated that only this one person was left in the nursing home at this time; young people couldn’t handle it, let alone the elderly.

He pushed the door open, and as expected, it was in complete disarray. Gu Shanhai proceeded to Room 202 on the third floor, as directed in the guide; the person should be there.

"No noise? Could it be he hasn’t awakened his abilities yet? No wonder there’s no guide." Although Gu Shanhai’s senses weren’t acute enough to detect from so far, the absolute silence without a hint of movement could only lead to this speculation.
