Battle is just a means; victory is the goal.
From the beginning, Lu Ping'an's goal was to simply put an end to all the troublesome matters.
Wait for the birth of "chaos", lure the Fake Big Cat away, then use Xia Qin to lure Lei Huoren away, and finally, use himself as bait to draw out the most troublesome Sophist.
If he doesn't come? Even better, directly cut down that annoying Tree of Life and end everything completely.
"...Tsk, don't you think this is a little too unfair to Xia Qin and the others? It wouldn't take long for a Rule-level weapon to kill them." The big cat, on the other hand, had a completely different opinion on the matter.
"It won't, Xia Qin and the others are enough to hold on to Lei Huoren." Lu Ping'an himself was quite confident.
