"If it were before the onset of time progression, we would have had other options..."
Gazing at his companion who had "suddenly" matured before his eyes with the passing years, Lu Ping'an pondered thoughtfully.
Decades are not just a catalyst for growth; they are also a particularly extensive part of life... Once "youth" is associated with war and disasters, it really may not be a good thing.
If one were more rational, following Lu's consistent style from the past, now that the benefits are in hand and the situation is escalating, it should be time to leave.
"Tsk tsk tsk, another Quasi-God has entered the battlefield..."
The news about "fragments" is becoming scarcer, but the war on the frontline is getting more and more brutal.
This isn't the "fringe world" that Lu Ping'an had encountered before, where there are no restrictions on either side. Forget about Rule-level, even Quasi-Gods might appear on the battlefield at any time.
