Since the beginning, Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value had dropped by more than twenty-five thousand. Now, only three thousand eight hundred eighty-eight points remained.
For Jiang Chen, the point at which he could act—the moment when the protagonist could be killed—was set at one-tenth of the Black Heavenly Fate Value. This number was three thousand four hundred fifty-three points.
That left only a small margin: just four hundred thirty-five Heavenly Fate Value points stood between Gu Ran and his fate. Once that gap closed, Jiang Chen could strike.
If Jiang Chen could stop things from going the way they were heading, it would lower Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value even more. Even if it didn't reach the critical threshold, it would be dangerously close.
In short, Gu Ran was standing before Jiang Chen with little chance to defend himself.
So, Jiang Chen decided to take control of the situation.
