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.
Lin Qiye’s first life: [When you were two, you had a sudden illness, causing you to have a deformed head and low IQ. When you were 15, your parents passed away. When you were 18, you died of an incurable disease.]
Lin Qiye commanded, “The Deduction of Genesis, deduce for me a way to transcend this life.”
[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…]

Now that the demons were invading, they were needed.

If their last line of defense crumbled, the hundreds of millions of people in the city would all be annihilated.

As a soldier, this was something that could not be tolerated. It was also a shame and crime that would accompany them for life.

If they were to escape now, perhaps the higher-ups would not punish them too severely.

After all, it wasn't that they wanted to be deserters. The battle they were about to face is a battle with no hope and meaning.

It Doesn't Matter. I Am Here.
