Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 762 - 2 The Second Encounter with God
762: Chapter 2: The Second Encounter with God
762 -2: The Second Encounter with God
In the days leading up to his ascension to the divine throne, Tang Xian had been preparing.
Based on various pieces of information he had gathered, Tang Xian had become convinced of one thing: the Nether Phoenix could have survived back then.
Spiritual Purgatory is a highly unique space, seemingly identical to reality.
The Destroyer God can have an even match with the Nether Phoenix there.
However, unless creatures like the Nether Phoenix or the Profound Birds pull their opponents into the Netherworld, not even beings as powerful as the Destroyer God and Judges can enter the Netherworld on their own.
Just hiding in the Netherworld isn’t a viable option for most beings, though.
The rapid loss of life there is more than most creatures can endure.
Up until now—apart from a few beast gods, only Tang Xian and Tang could enter without anyone else.
Stepping into the Netherworld, visually speaking, doesn’t resemble other types of Space Skills that involve fleeing into the distance.
The Netherworld is like a reflection of the real world.
When Tang and the Profound Bird enter the Netherworld, they don’t become invisible; they’re just covered in a layer of gray.
This was one of Tang Xian’s cards to play.
So, not taking Tang Feiji along wasn’t really a matter of intelligence—although Tang Feiji wasn’t that bright, to be honest.
To avoid fighting with that deity, having a Profound Bird that could whisk him away at a moment’s notice was Tang Xian’s primary layer of preparation.
The second layer of preparation involved the injections left by Tang Jing.
Although in the Holy Fortress, Tang Xian bluntly said that these talents were meaningless, his refusal at the time was rather arbitrary.
On reflection, to combat the Judgment Knights, Tang Jing’s gift couldn’t be more suitable.
The ability to control metal would allow him to manipulate the Bronze Judgment Knights and Silver Judgment Knights within his domain at will.
This was practically a method tailored for dealing with the soldiers under the Order’s command.
Without further thought, Tang Xian injected the solution into his body.
Responsible for taking care of Tang Xian were Song Que and Qiao Shanshan.
Because Song Que had fallen into a deep sleep for a long time after his own injection, they expected that Tang Xian would also enter a comatose state.
But Tang Xian completely bypassed this stage, leaving Song Que at a loss for words…
Perhaps this was simply the difference between people?
He could only laugh and cry at his own experience.
When he first received Tang Xian’s talents, his body took a long while to adapt, and he slept for an extended period.
It also took him a long while to get used to the significant increase in his abilities and to fully master them.
Tang Xian, on the other hand, seemed much more efficient.
Perhaps it was because Tang Xian was already a Child of Order, after he injected the talent gene, he only rested for a few minutes.
Then, the metal around him began to change in accordance with his will.
At first, it was just some small metal components.
Gradually, the range and force expanded, and in the end, even the distant iron tower began to warp.
Eventually, everything returned to its original state.
The people of Baichuan City were simple and honest, and they were friendly with foxes, dragons, snakes, and the like.
There was also no shortage of individuals with special abilities.
At least the earliest settlers of Baichuan City were familiar with these things.
So when the iconic television tower suddenly twisted, some people who had only recently emerged from the Pyramid were shouting in panic, as if the end of the world had arrived.
But the reactions of the residents from the giant pit and later, from the Holy Fortress, were very genuine.
“Hey, look at that iron tower.
It’s twisting quite beautifully.”
“Eh?
It’s over?
I hadn’t had enough of a look!”
That was probably the reaction of the first settlers of Baichuan.
They were the ones who had been carried away from the giant pit by dragons and had seen all kinds of bizarre phenomena.
As a result, even though human power in Baichuan City was fragmented into many camps, there was an unwritten rule among the newcomers: don’t provoke those natives. fгeewebnovёl.com

Once all the preparations were complete, Tang Xian summoned the Profound Bird and informed it of the plan.
“That place is the Orderer’s nest?”
“Speaking of the Orderer…
I have a question.
How did you guys come to know about the Orderer?”
Tang Xian still remembered the reaction of the cave serpent in the giant pit when it mentioned the Orderer.
He was curious as to how the cave serpent came to know about the Orderer.
The Profound Bird answered:
“That name was originally defined by the Judge Himself.”
The Profound Bird began to slowly unravel some of the secrets known only to the Judgment Chief, like the mysterious mechanical life that once nearly destroyed the Myriad Beasts Realm.
After the battle ended, they were named Orderers by the Judge.
Even though the name didn’t sound like a term for an enemy, the knowledgeable beasts, who were the Judge’s confidants, had no objections.
But deep down, the Profound Bird and other beasts were reluctant to accept this term.
They still referred to them as mechanical creatures.
Hearing that it was defined by the Judge, Tang Xian’s suspicions deepened.
“No wonder I always felt that ‘Judgment Knights’ and ‘Judgment Chief’ sound so similar.
Turns out, like me, he also sucks at naming.”
It was at that moment that Tang Xian admitted to himself that he was terrible at coming up with names—a fact he usually wasn’t willing to acknowledge.
“You’d better think it through.
If the mechanical race has indeed revived as you say, then its power is something you simply cannot contend with.”
“Could we contend with it if it were in the mining area?”
“It seems not.
In fact, there have been many Judgment Chiefs in the courtroom, and there seems to be some sort of experiment in the forbidden area of the Sacred Mountain.”
“I’ve figured it out.
The whole group of apes on the Sacred Mountain are actually just a bunch of tool monkeys.
What they’re doing is likely creating living beings.”
Tang Xian suddenly came up with this possibility.
