"Evil Bone, do you know his intelligence?"
Lu Ping’an had just turned his body sideways, and the Evil Bone bandit had disappeared without a trace.
But in a sense, it seemed to be a natural thing... Freed from the limitations of the terrain, he had no reason to be Lu Ping’an’s cannon fodder.
The youth sighed helplessly and activated his trump card once more.
"My turn, draw a card... damn."
A black card immediately disrupted Lu Ping’an’s layout.
This Liu Zibei’s legacy card group, red cards for Tree-man transformation, yellow cards for high-level Berserk, green cards for plant sleep, black cards... directly put him
into the "Life-Disdain" state, sealing the abilities of his life-force system.
At the other end of the courtyard, a group of people stared at Xue En... He hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "I really didn’t expect Lu Ping’an to draw a black card first" and was beaten up.
Fortunately, it was just a Black Card 2, lasting only two minutes.

The little sun floating in the air seemed to be lost in thought as it watched the pitch-black sky... if it had that ability.
Two minutes flashed by, and Lu Ping’an took a deep breath before drawing another card.
A green card, the plant hypnosis card, the trump card in the Gardener’s civil war.
Lu Ping’an’s brows jumped, realizing that this was a bit tricky. Could it be that Xue En was too powerful and could trap people even across the small world?
"Beat him up." Lu Ping’an gave the order.
The next moment, the Knights appeared in the current world.
They reformed their ranks, not intending to let Lu Ping’an face such an opponent alone.
However, the arrival of the Knights was not a good idea... The giant God-like figure finally cast its gaze downwards.
More precisely, Catherine’s appearance attracted the attention of the giant God.
"...Blazing Sun!"
The earth began to tremble slightly, as the "Sun God" saw the source of its bloodline.
The fire of the Beast God puppet was still extinguished, and even though it subconsciously borrowed the power of its bloodline, its hatred still showed through.
Catherine, the target of its gaze, trembled all over. This was not due to a lack of courage, but the subconscious fear that mortal creatures feel when facing higher-dimensional beings.
It was the familiar Death-curse again. This time, however, it targeted the Knights directly.
But at the next moment, a figure blocked it.
Lu Ping’an passed through the death Spell, most of the power had already been consumed... He was betting that his resistance was strong enough, and these instant-death curses had minimal effect on him.
At this moment, he understood a bit more about why, back when he was dealing with the life system civil war, the big cat recommended "aging" instead of the more famous "instant-death" system.
When both sides have high life resistance, instant-death has a high probability of being resisted, and the consumption is too great, making it a costly regular attack method.
On the other hand, the Ageing Curse can be applied continuously, and as long as it hits, it can weaken the opponent effectively.
"...Cough, maybe I also need a specialized civil war weapon."
His analysis of the Divine-made puppet in front of him had ended, it was clearly a creation of the Life system... or rather, a being from the "Ten Thousand Spirits."
Lu Ping’an only took a deep breath, coughed slightly, and recovered from the weakness of the Death-curse. This left the others dumbfounded... after all, even just the infiltrated death aura was enough to make the weakest Knight unable to withstand it, falling to the ground and dying instantly.
"Su En?!" The cry of grief from behind did not affect Lu Ping’an’s judgment, as he focused all his attention on the Divine-made puppet in front of him.
Lu Ping’an had already noticed that, perhaps when facing high-level life-system combat power, he was a civil war expert.
One by one, the great trees rose from the ground. After drawing four consecutive useless cards, Lu Ping’an finally pulled out a red card.
It connected with the local natural forces, designating the ancient trees around, and turning them into tree-people.
With continuous use of the cards, when the first tree-man appeared, Lu Ping’an sighed in relief... but this was just the beginning.
"Chris, help me ’refresh’ please."
The deck in Lu Ping’an’s hand suddenly disappeared without a trace. After more than thirty seconds, it reappeared in his hand, completely renewed.
[Function 2, Pollutants Acceleration: Accelerate the ability recovery speed of polluted items. Black-iron level 1 point /1 time, Brass level 3 points /1 time, Silver tier 10 points /1 time.]
This is the second use of the garden’s Rule-Level Building (Pillar of Time). Although the consumption of points is painful, and it cannot be used repeatedly in the short term, it is not the time to save resources now.
With the renewed cards in hand, Lu Ping’an started to draw cards again... only to be magically banned by black cards once more.
But at this time, with knights by his side and the Tree-man Army fully summoned, Lu Ping’an was not in a hurry anymore.
However, soon reality slapped Lu Ping’an in the face.
Tree-men approaching the giant God were directly twisted and torn apart with ease by its enormous claws, which were as powerful as a bear.
Standing there, the giant god’s wings began to emit a faint red glow, and its movement speed became impossible to catch for a moment.
Even as just a creation of the gods, inheriting some divine characteristics, it wasn’t just a mindless turret that could only throw divine curses. After taking in enough "Beast God Nutrition", it regained some of its Beast God traits.
"The only thing to be grateful for, I suppose, is that there won’t be endless undead creatures here to provide it with supplies... Damn, did I jinx it? Or is it just Xue En who never ends?"
More undead creatures appeared in the surrounding forest.
Some of them were dressed in simple robes, holding wooden staffs, they looked like hermits in the forest... More like the Beast God’s followers.
Low-level followers didn’t have the privilege to enter the gods’ realm after death. They could only choose their own graves on the outskirts. Now that the natural laws of this area had been broken, they naturally rose.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they are excluded from the ritual... so they probably haven’t established a faith link with this creature.
Lu Ping’an noticed that the giant god didn’t even glance at these undead creatures, so it seemed that they hadn’t established a connection.
In the giant God’s eyes, there was only Catherine... her flame was too dazzling in this darkness.
For some reason, in the next moment, her flames became even stronger.
"Did I...break through?"
Willpower turned into reality, as the bizarre scene happened again. Perhaps this was what is known as the favor of fate.
The Holy Fire, with her as its vessel, burned everything around her, and many undead creatures turned directly to ashes. In a moment, they reached their end.
But soon, she knew that this transformation was not without cost...
The moonlight above flickered, and Gemini Moon suddenly descended. Its brilliant light covered the entire forest, and the protective oath of the Gemini Moon God turned into reality before everyone’s eyes.
Perhaps it was the bloodline of the Sun God that attracted the interest of some beings, or perhaps the Gemini God sensed the aura of an old friend. Just for an instant, Lu Ping’an felt something enormous pass overhead.
The next moment, everything returned to calm....
"Ah, it’s not him..."
No, in that instant, Lu Ping’an heard a disappointed sigh in the dark.
At this moment, a large number of undead creatures were instantly turned to ashes. The sacred moonlight did nothing but exist, as natural order itself.
At this time, Catherine’s Holy Fire was surging, but it was also enveloped in a layer of silver light...her strength was visibly rising at an astonishing speed.
"A Child of Destiny, huh? It seems... I’ve found a treasure."
