The global personality trials arrive, binding each country’s fate and livestreaming every moment.
The System declares: Selflessness is justice. Perfection is the path to victory.
Luo Cheng'an doesn’t believe it.
In an abandoned school, a broadcast repeats, “Turn everything in and you’ll be a good person.” But the bones of the “good people” from previous rounds have long since become the grain of the desks. Before they died, they were still asking, “I turned everything in. Why did I still die?”
In the silent exam room, ten multiple-choice questions remove every middle ground, forcing you to choose between obedience and doubt. Every wrong answer carves another diagnosis into your personality file.
Before three doors, the Door of Selflessness leads to an endless cycle of giving everything away. The Door of Greed traps everyone who refuses to let go. And the door in the middle, the Door of Balance, has never opened.
All three previous Heavenly Mandate Teams were wiped out, and they all died for the same reason: they pursued perfection.
Beside the slogan “Selflessness is justice,” Luo Cheng'an writes his first conclusion: Perfection means death. Imperfection is life.
From then on, every instance he clears leaves another gear-shaped mark on his wrist and adds another rule to his notebook, bought with the lives of those who came before. The path he will take is neither selflessness, greed, nor balance. It is a third path!
