Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 590 - 29: False Gods
The silent divine realm was like time had halted.

Tang Xian knew that this "god" was aware of all his actions and his lucid awareness of this world.
A sound like that of a glacier fracturing echoed through the divine realm, yet Tang Xian was in no hurry.
He awaited the god's response and planned to find a spot to squat, observing this interesting world as he had done at the very beginning.
Years ago, people believed that the mining area was a replica of another world.
Such a notion isn't contradictory to the planes created by the will of a god. However, Tang Xian didn't believe in the existence of such greatness.
The world of the mining area did indeed exist, and this world may have been born earlier than the world as people knew it.
While thinking about the day's events, he arrived at Dong Ran and Tang Feiji's toy store.
The store's toys were assorted, but the Rubik's cubes strewn on the floor indicated that Tang Feiji still played with them.
He didn't know how many years later this Tang Feiji was from, but he had made considerable progress, as the cubes were well-assembled.
Tang Xian frowned, simultaneously shaking his head.
"Initially, I wanted to do something outrageous to create significant flaws in your world. Everything in this world seems to cater to me. I thought about making strange requests to Li Xiaoyu, like asking for help to chase other girls while she had to act all meek and dependent, which would probably be quite amusing."
Pausing, Tang Xian said,
"But ultimately, I couldn't bring myself to say that. However, the flaws in your world are quite significant in themselves. If I'm right, Tang Feiji would never be able to solve a Rubik's cube until his death."
In the silent world, Tang Xian's voice unexpectedly echoed. He had long realized that maybe this world wasn't as vast as he had imagined.
This space seemed boundless, but perhaps the so-called sky and distance were nothing more than an illusion.
It was merely an enclosed space, perhaps the size of a room that suddenly appeared in the god's dwelling.
After a full minute of silence, the voice resonated in Tang Xian's mind again.
[——You have rejected the world I offered you.]
"If you were a dream weaver, our country's laws mention your services. I would gladly spend money for you to craft a dream for me.
A dream with fewer women like big pig trotters and more food might bring me more joy than this town where everyone is blissfully happy and content.
Unfortunately, you are operating without a license. You're worse than the ancient pig and goose farms. They only asked for money for these virtual experiences, but you're after my life."
Tang Xian's tone was indifferent, even mocking as if he didn't care whether this god would create trouble within the divine realm.
"I have found a way out. Are you sure you won't show up? If I'm not mistaken, everything you said is false."
Without waiting for the voice in his mind to respond, Tang Xian shook his head and asserted,
"No, there's no 'if.' Everything you've said is indeed false."
After his words fell, the still indifferent voice finally spoke:
[——Why are you able to detect? Here, you should feel extremely comfortable. You crave food, and I can respond to that craving by providing you with the data of all the delicacies in human history right here.]
"Because of Constantine, because of the Siren."
Tang Xian really wanted to see if mechanical intelligence had evolved enough to make a dumbfounded expression."
But this "god" never showed itself.
All he could do was twist the Rubik's cube in his hands, murmuring,
"If everything were real, Constantine would not have warned me. He is very devout to you, but his actions over these days and years indicate that he's trying to leave himself a way out. Even he hasn't been deceived by your so-called divine realm.
It's a pity, though, that I don't know if he still counts as a human now.
When you long for human thoughts, do you also turn some humans into machines?"
Remembering the diamond-like gleam in Constantine's eyes, Tang Xian felt somewhat uneasy.
But at this moment, he had to find a way out of the divine realm.
As for the so-called closeness and comfort, such feelings are naturally a signal for caution to someone like me. Especially since I had fought the Siren not long ago.
Then I noticed a detail – in the process of becoming an Angel Envoy, the first thing Constantine did was to kill the Siren.
If I'm not mistaken, that was your intention. You fear my Eden bloodline might control the Siren's abilities.
In fact, your so-called divine realm is just a more complete and powerful form of dream control."
The sound of the glacier fracturing became louder, and Tang Xian could see vast cloud formations in the distance beginning to take on sharp, distinct edges.
The world was gradually revealing its true face.
Tang Xian didn't stop but kept talking to the god, "What is the essence of being gifted? Why can't the so-called Order Gene be stably inherited? I still don't know the answer to these questions. And you've transformed humans into the gifted for what purpose?
To you, these Order Genes might just be constant data, but in humans, they pose a myriad of possibilities, and that's evolution.
Humans are merely tools for your own evolution. You are not a god; you're just a huge, unimaginably parasitic being. Come on, show your true form; let me see your hideous appearance?"
