White Divine Crane

This was an era where everyone could experience various worlds through simulations.
When everyone reached 16 years old, they would receive a Life Lantern, which would grant them two free simulations.
During the free simulations, they had to break through the limits of humans in order to attain a bright future in reality. 
Otherwise, they would lose their Life Lanterns and they would slowly be corrupted by a black fog until they eventually died at a young age. 
Lin Qiye, who transmigrated to this era, failed his first simulation.
During his second simulation, by chance, he acquired a permanent SSS-rank talent - the Deduction of Genesis.

[Congratulations for defying the heavens and successfully changing your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

Lin Qiye summoned, “The Deduction of Genesis!”
[You carefully made plans before the spiritual aura rejuvenated. Because of this, you defied the heavens and successfully changed your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

Their conversation gradually attracted the attention of some bystanders.

They all joined in the discussion on how to deal with the demons.

"Alright, alright. Captain Zhou, calm down. It's not like you don't know what kind of person City Lord Wang is."

"That's right. Let's think of a way to deal with this crisis first. Otherwise, if we can't hold on, the hundreds of millions of residents in Ocean City will all be in trouble."

Most people gathered around were from Ocean City's local forces, and they often wandered between City Lord Wang and the military.
