Apocalyptic Wasteland Simulator-Chapter 310 - 305 The Answer and Speculation

The more the dark version of Chen Pingchuan moved, the faster the real Chen Pingchuan fled. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the white, misty mirror space from which he had first arrived.

The dark Chen Pingchuan followed close behind. Seeing that his invitation had failed to persuade his counterpart, he resorted to direct threats. "If you keep running, your human companions will die because of you. It was your fault they came here, and it will be your fault when they die here. Don't you..."

Before the dark version of Chen Pingchuan could finish, his eyes widened as if he were witnessing something unbelievable.

Chen Pingchuan, having reached Wei Hao's mirror space, had just shattered the spatial barrier with immense force. But instead of saving him, he ended Wei Hao's life with a single strike of his blade.

Even in his final moments, Wei Hao couldn't understand why Chen Pingchuan had done it.

At the same time, the headache that had been plaguing Chen Pingchuan completely vanished the instant he killed Wei Hao. This was the very reason for his actions. After all, this was a simulation. It didn't matter if these people died here; as long as he ensured their survival in the end, they would be alive and well back in the real world. But if he himself died, he would waste a precious simulation opportunity. This random location, reached only by space travel, would not give him a second chance. This was why he had used Wei Hao to restore his own condition.

Chen Pingchuan's figure moved like a bolt of lightning as he raced through the mirror spaces, turning a deaf ear to the threats from his dark counterpart behind him.

Lilia and Lu Jiaojiao's vision had returned the moment Chen Pingchuan made his move, so they had witnessed him kill Wei Hao with their own eyes. The shock and rage in their gazes were impossible to conceal.

"Boss... he actually killed Wei Hao."

"No, no, no! You're not our boss! You're a demon!"

Lilia's eyes were bloodshot and brimming with tears. She gathered her psychokinetic energy, preparing to launch an attack at Chen Pingchuan's back. In the next second, however, Lu Jiaojiao grabbed her hand.

"Look over there."

Following Lu Jiaojiao's gesture, Lilia saw a figure with the exact same clothes and appearance as Chen Pingchuan walking slowly toward them.

"I'm sorry," the dark version of Chen Pingchuan said, putting on a sorrowful expression and secretly swapping their identities. "I never expected that Evil God to take my form and kill Wei Hao."

Chen Pingchuan, when you get back, you'll see how your teammates turn on you, he thought gleefully. I refuse to believe the evil in your heart can't be provoked.

Still, the dark Chen Pingchuan was puzzled. His greatest strength was the ability to manipulate the darkness within a person's heart, yet he had found no trace of such an emotional trait in his counterpart. There were only two possibilities.

The first was that the emotional trait in Chen Pingchuan's heart was even more powerful than his own dark energy, rendering it immune to his influence. But how was that possible?

The second possibility was that Chen Pingchuan had no evil thoughts in his heart at all.

Uh... that's actually possible. Could it be that my former self completely separated divinity, humanity, and evil, leaving not a single trace behind? That's the only explanation. But why can I feel both divinity and humanity? I will be the final victor, no matter what.

While the dark Chen Pingchuan was deceiving Lilia and Lu Jiaojiao, the real Chen Pingchuan burst out of the Divine Hall. He headed swiftly toward the edge of the island, intending to find a quiet place to sort out his thoughts and wait for his cooldowns to finish.

Chen Pingchuan ran at full speed, leaving the eerie Divine Hall far behind. His figure weaved through the dense jungle, the wind whistling past his ears, echoing the turmoil within him. Finally, he reached the island's edge. It was a tranquil beach where waves lapped gently against the shore, the rhythmic sound a stark contrast to his inner chaos.

He found a flat reef to sit on. The sea breeze caressed his face, attempting to blow away the gloom in his heart. Closing his eyes, he began to recall everything that had happened in this simulation. The appearance of his dark self, the startling revelations about "divinity, humanity, and evil," and the fact that his doppelgänger was completely unaware of the simulator's existence.

Divinity, humanity, evil... My dark version said I am humanity. So, is it possible that what existed in this body before I transmigrated was, in fact, humanity? And after I took over, I became that human form. That would also explain why those giant Ancient God statues look exactly like me, and why my dark counterpart knows nothing about the simulator. This would explain why he doesn't know my experiences are from the information explosion of my past life, and that my talents come not from this world's genetic leaps, but from the simulator's lottery.

Chen Pingchuan muttered to himself, his expression constantly shifting.

But there's still a point that doesn't add up. If I follow this hypothesis, then what's the deal with the emotional traits? From the look of him, he doesn't seem to understand any of this. And what about this "divine pursuit" he mentioned? Why haven't I ever encountered it?

He felt as though he were standing on the edge of a massive enigma. The truth was just one step away, but that single step felt as insurmountable as a chasm.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

No, wait. Maybe I have. That group of mysterious people who activated a super nuclear weapon when I met with Black Demon Number One... could they be the forces sent by the "divinity"? Was their purpose to annihilate me?

What Chen Pingchuan didn't know was that his speculation was gradually aligning with the truth.

「At the same time, inside the Divine Hall」

The dark version of Chen Pingchuan continued his scheme.

"I've failed you... I've failed Wei Hao and Porcupine. They died here because of me, and now I've let that Evil God escape," he said, his face a mask of grief and indignation, his voice choked with emotion. "All our efforts have been for nothing. I fear it will be impossible to stop him from destroying the world now."

He paused, letting the fear sink in. "What's even more terrifying is that once that Evil God who looks like me recovers, he might come back to kill us."

Lilia and Lu Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with confusion and anger. They stared at the figure before them, occasionally glancing in the direction Chen Pingchuan had fled, a whirlwind of emotions in their hearts.

"Boss, don't worry," Lilia vowed, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes again. "We will kill him!"

"Yes, we definitely will," the dark Chen Pingchuan affirmed, clenching his fists in a display of righteous indignation. "First, let's investigate this Palace of the Evil God. We might find something inside that can help us defeat him."

He lowered his voice, his tone turning grim. "He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. If we want to defeat him, we can't just sit back and wait for death. We must unite, fight him together, and avenge Wei Hao!"

Lu Jiaojiao bit her lip. A flash of hesitation appeared in her eyes but was quickly replaced by grim determination.

"Alright, we'll listen to you! But... what should we do?"
