Doomsday Code

Chapter 1036 Job Change

Just as Squidward was filled with anxiety, Chen Cheng suddenly burst into laughter, then put Squidward down and said:

"How about that? Did I scare you? Did you think I'd changed my personality and become an ungrateful person?"

His scare almost made Squidward slap himself across the face.

After taking a few deep breaths, Squidward launched himself forward and slapped himself back onto Chen Cheng's face.

He waved his tentacles and shouted angrily:

"Do you even know how stupid you are? You've become a god, yet you were killed by a mortal. How could you be so dumb? You had to fight him for power instead of using your authority and just obediently let him seal your power."

How could you be so stupid? If you do that again, I might not have a second life to save you, you know that? You know that?

Squidward didn't blame Chen Cheng for scaring him earlier. He whipped Chen Cheng while roaring and sobbing.

Chen Cheng was so close, so close, he was really going to die.

Just like Squidward said, in his eyes Chen Cheng was a heartless bastard, but Squidward wasn't. This kid saved him back then, so he had to repay him.

Although he had his own ulterior motives while helping Chen Cheng become a god, he ultimately didn't want to see Chen Cheng die.

But at that very moment, Chen Cheng's life truly came to an end, and he could only stay in that pocket, unable to do anything.

Even though he had seen Chen Cheng regain his life before, Squidward was still uneasy, unsure if the Chen Cheng who woke up this time was the same person.

He didn't know if he was afraid that the Chen Cheng who used to joke and tease him had really disappeared, or if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to tell the Snow Maiden who was questioning him, that the person who had come back to life was no longer the same Chen Cheng.

Upon seeing Chen Cheng joking with him so carefree, Squidward's emotions instantly surged like a dam bursting.

His heart could finally rest easy.

At least this time, the one who woke up was the same heartless guy he knew.

Chen Cheng did not resist, letting Squidward vent his anger on him.

In addition to his guilt towards Squidward, his eyes now held a peculiar indifference.

You could say he succeeded, or you could say he failed.

Although the personalities of Chen Cheng and Brown awakened, the other personalities did not perish, and together they formed a larger divine personality.

Because Chen Cheng's personality was the main focus, he loosened his control over Brown's personality, making him the only one to awaken.

From his divine perspective, this part of his life belonged to Brown, so he could experience it to the end.

This is similar to the descent of gods to earth. The reborn personality will allow him to experience the complete life he is meant to live until he actually dies or returns to heaven.

"Alright, alright, if you keep hitting me, my face will really turn into a pig's head."

"What do you mean 'pig head'? You are a pig head, no, you're not even as smart as a pig head. Even a pig head is smarter than you."

Squidward said resentfully.

After experiencing a life-or-death situation, Chen Cheng realized that he had indeed been somewhat foolish before.

Of course, rather than saying he was stupid, it would be more accurate to say that he simply didn't know how a god should fight.

Before his death, he did consider using the power of the rules of reincarnation, but then he realized that reincarnation was related to the conservation and operation of energy between heaven and earth.

Moreover, as a researcher in his previous life, he would not have blindly conducted an experiment that concerned the lives and deaths of countless people without sufficient theoretical knowledge and certainty.

Then, since he was also doing well on the path of acupoint cultivation, it was delayed for a long time.

After his death and resurrection, Chen Cheng thoroughly explored the rules of reincarnation and realized that he could actually rely on the rules of reincarnation he controlled to counter Lang Lang's power-sealing techniques.

Whether it's using rules to wear down the divine forbidden script he uses, or making his divine forbidden script change from sealing himself to sealing the entire cycle of reincarnation, these methods can easily break through his sealing techniques.

Furthermore, when he was trapped by Lang Lang using forty-nine array beads, he could have used his divine kingdom and the rules of reincarnation to escape the trapping array formed by the power of heaven and earth pulled by the array beads.

Because after he took charge of the rules of reincarnation, he himself became part of the rules. His divine power came from the rules of reincarnation, so as long as he did not actually affect people or things other than himself, he could actually use the power of the rules of reincarnation.

Instead of being like before, foolishly using brute force in the same social class to achieve 'fairness,' and then being brutally defeated by Lang Lang, a mere mortal.

Chen Cheng scratched his head awkwardly, then spoke with some hesitation:

"This isn't my first time, and you are a true god. You never told me how to use my power to fight."

Squidward glared at Chen Cheng, then shook his head and said:

"It's not entirely your fault, it's also my fault. It's my fault for helping such an idiot like you ascend to godhood. Who told me not to discover how stupid you were sooner?"

Chen Cheng's face flushed red after being scolded by Squidward, and then he pinched Squidward and said:

"Since you think you're so smart, then fine, I don't want this priesthood anymore, you can have it."

Squidward was amused by Chen Cheng's words, because he had never heard of a priesthood that could be changed.

"Job title" doesn't mean a regular job that you can quit if you don't want to work there.

The duties of a deity are related to the operation of the rules of heaven and earth. Once obtained, one is integrated and bound to the entire rule, and there is no such thing as leaving the post.

Unless he truly passes away and the position becomes vacant, it is possible for the position to become unclaimed, allowing a new god to ascend to the throne.

Otherwise, it would be a one-person-one-pot situation, and once you're in the hole, there's no way you can get out.

Seeing Chen Cheng's pathetic state, Squidward was also enraged, and he sneered:

"Alright, I'd like to see how you're going to hand over the duties to me."

However, what Squidward didn't notice was that the moment he agreed, a sly glint appeared in Chen Cheng's eyes, a look of triumph in his eyes.

The next moment, he pressed the octopus-shaped object against the void of reincarnation. Just when the octopus-shaped object thought that Chen Cheng was angry and wanted to feed it to the resentment of those living beings, it suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that a new rule had been added on top of its original rules.

Squidward stared wide-eyed at Chen Cheng, who at that moment revealed a sly smile.

"You promised this yourself, so you can't go back on your word."
