1398: Chapter 1394: Advancement 1398: Chapter 1394: Advancement “Revive, my lady…”

Previously fraught with countless difficulties, when Lu Ping’an really took this step, he felt an unprecedented ease and simplicity.

The cycle of life and death did not seem to necessarily be an ironclad rule.

What is a Rule-level?

It is an existence that corrects the “rules of the world” with one’s own “rules.”

Lu Ping’an seemed to see the barrier between life and death; he reached out and gently nudged it.

The barrier between life and death was gently torn apart.

Life and death, the cycle never ends…

but as long as one has enough power, it seems that the cycle can also be reversed.

“So it’s this easy…” Lu Ping’an was somewhat bewildered as breaking life and death didn’t seem difficult.

How could it possibly be this?

The one who was instantly taken aback was the “revived” Chris.

She touched her own cheeks, felt the texture of her skin, touched her chest, and listened to her heartbeat, her face filled with disbelief.

Her previous body had always been just a doll…

a mimicry flesh-person that could breathe, had a heartbeat, and could even simulate most physiological functions.

“It’s quite soft, uh, seems a bit different, but no significant difference…”

Lu Ping’an extended his index finger, touched the smooth cheek, and then got a stern look from Meow.

“Completely different, completely!!”

For the “wearer,” these two bodies were not the same at all.

A doll might possess all the characteristics of a life form, but it is always a “man-made object” created according to a “blueprint.”

to be precise, it can decay, it can be damaged, it can be modified, it can be repaired, but someone must actively do so, even if the repairer is the doll itself, its body is always in an “unchanging” state.

Even after processing, it’s more like a “zombie” than a living person.

“And this body is breathing, metabolizing, growing, she is truly alive, just merely without a soul…

she even has a redundant reproductive system, cough, she can even take on additional professions!

She is capable of evolving and growing!”

Looking at the “anxious” “girl” in front of him, Lu Ping’an understood somewhat.

She was alive, truly alive.

Under the sunshine, her golden hair shined brilliantly like gold, her model-like figure standing a head taller than Lu Ping’an, her phoenix eyes having an energy and sharpness not seen on ordinary days, her cheeks puffed up red with emotion.

It was a youth-specific charisma; the mature woman who once feigned a childish appearance, now in terms of both temperament and appearance, was a real girl.

Now, Lu Ping’an finally understood the difference, and what was in front of him…

she indeed was a living being; when Chris wasn’t controlling her, she could still follow her instincts to breathe, metabolize, and might even die again.

“Uh, does this mean regular feeding and washing are needed?

How are you able to do this?

To reverse life and death, these shouldn’t occur in someone of the seventh-tier, even a Quasi-God shouldn’t…”

Chris’s voice grew quieter as she spoke; she actually already knew the answer.

“Perhaps, it’s because I’ve eaten too well.”

Lu Ping’an nodded; the answer was quite obvious.

The barrier of breaking life and death, he could actually do it from the beginning, but it was only limited to himself.

The act of using life-points to sustain his own life, wasn’t that distorting life and death?

And now, it was merely the culmination of continuous nurturing.

At the fifth-tier Benefactor stage, he supplemented “knowledge,” and at the sixth-tier…..

a World Fragment, that “Wisher” fragment that had deeply impressed Lu Ping’an, was originally an ultra-rule existence that twisted reality, reversed reincarnation, and turned death into life.

Initially, starting with Chris’s Divine Foundation, he had supplemented so much until that World Fragment he devoured at the sixth-tier was completely digested at this stage.

When all the powers had integrated and broken through, he thus possessed the power to “twist life and death.”

A normal Life system Quasi-God wouldn’t possess such rules…..

Theoretically, “rules” themselves have no hierarchical differences, but there are always some “rare”, “uncommon”, “unique” ones owned only by a very few existences, and Chris hadn’t heard of any Quasi-God whose rule was to “rewrite life and death”.

They could create life; they could mass-produce threatening natural disaster species, but it was absolutely impossible for them to easily turn non-living objects into living ones and directly twist the most fundamental natural rules.

“…it’s not arbitrary; it requires points.”

Lu Ping’an sighed and directly deducted over six hundred points from the panel; the cost of breaking life and death was indeed not low.

At the same time, he also looked up his seventh-tier profession name and the bunch of new professional abilities he acquired.

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the seventh-tier Gardener (Life) profession, Malicious Acquirer (Unique).”

Just from the name of the profession alone, Lu Ping’an felt the malice.

But looking at a few awakened professional abilities…..

well, it seems the name wasn’t wrong.

[Awakened Professional Abilities: Mandatory Bankruptcy Protection (Lower Gold), Compulsory Foreclosure (Mid-Level Gold), Life Redemption (Mid-Level Gold), Fictitious Assets (Mid-Level Gold)…]

This series of professions, just by their names, seemed to touch the moral and legal bottom lines, sounding very bizarre…

Lu Ping’an checked the description of the professional abilities and indeed, each one was more bizarre than the last.

“All are supportive abilities, huh…”

Although he complained thus, Lu Ping’an was quite satisfied; after briefly assessing, he could feel his drastically increased personal power.

Normally, rules instantaneously killing decrees have their reasons…..

At least the current Lu Ping’an thought that with just these few abilities combined, he could easily beat his past self and handle the Barton Legion much more comfortably.

The improvement was comprehensive; the Rule-level physical and abilities needed time to adapt and develop, it wasn’t a matter of overnight, but the most important right now…

Lu Ping’an still remembered that outside, there were two eighth-tiers and a Quasi-God watching, and Heaven knows how many Rule-level were squatting in the gutter.

After days of hard battle, Lu Ping’an’s condition was still not bad…..

but if the outside hunters truly believed they had the chance to beat the falling dog and rushed up, it would be quite uncomfortable for him.

The most troublesome were the Red Star Military, after all, that Divine Heritage….

“I definitely can’t hand it over…”

But unlike Barton, not only was Lu Ping’an “alone,” he was also a high-tier Runner skilled at escaping.

Even so, he still proceeded cautiously to the south…..

The Quasi-God and eighth-tier truly had countless methods to stop him if they wished.

But strangely, he felt quite at ease all the way to the border.

Although he could sense the Watcher, and even met face to face with that robust Quasi-God, in the end, they each went their own way; not only did no battle occur, there wasn’t even any interception or questioning.

Just letting him go ?

Lu Ping’an was somewhat baffled, but of course, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to run over and ask.

What he didn’t know was that the Quasi-God and the military had actually planned to make a move, but a telegram had stopped them.

[The Official Media of the Eastern Country announces, emergency grant of the rank of Major General to Lu Ping’an, and increases the number of military exercise personnel at the border by two brigades…]

This equaled official hard protection…

Attacking an independent high-tier professional and attacking an Eastern Country official of formal rank with the official identity of Red Star Military were completely different matters; the latter undoubtedly constituted an act of war.

Had it been any other country, the Red Star Military might truly dare to act as though they hadn’t received any notice, but since it was Eastern Country, with satellites monitoring from above and troops waiting at the border…

In the end, Lu Ping’an just enjoyed a journey filled with sneers and glares, and under his own uncomprehending escort, he crossed the national boundary effortlessly.

When he received the military uniform and epaulettes from the welcoming military, he naturally understood everything.

“Thank the nation for me.

I’ll remember this,” after a long moment, that was all he could say.
