In a sense, Lu Ping'an was like someone who rose early but arrived late for the market.
In the Abyss battle, among all the newcomers involved, his performance was outstanding, second to none.
After all, old birds and high-level combat powers had no expectations for the newcomers; most were merely there to lend a hand on the battlefield, while Lu Ping'an played a main role in the seventh layer.
"What? He just picked up leftovers? Ending the reign of an Abyss Lord who had plagued Changping for thirty years, and you actually believe that the Snake King could just pick up the slack? So all those years, the Rule strongmen were just sitting idle?"
Clearly, Lu Ping'an's disguise could probably only deceive newbies, as Changping's strategic goal was initially just to "weaken" Didirona, to incapacitate her for some time from causing trouble... With the confirmation by special means that Didirona was "no longer there," those in the know were pleasantly surprised.
