Zhou Baiyu had always thought that the new gods were far removed from the pioneers.
When faced with summoning, one must learn to think in terms of gameplay, although such summoning wasn't really a game.
But in fact, Zhou Baiyu really regarded each character in the Advanced World— as NPCs.
Every NPC required a different strategy to handle, some needed to be appeased, while others needed to be killed.
And the new gods were definitely distant NPCs.
In Zhou Baiyu's view, whether it was the post-apocalyptic era after 2.0 or the one that began with 1.0—
They were all just versions of the novice village.
Humanity was always playing the role of chess pieces until they came into contact with "us," until they delved into the essence.
Now that Doctor A suddenly brought up the new gods, Zhou Baiyu felt somewhat faint.
