Eh, what was with this coincidence?

He was just planning to take a jaunt around the civilized world to check things out before the apocalypse arrived.

Now, it seemed like the Red Empire wanted him to show his face in public more often. However, the problem was, what was he going to tell the people?

He was well aware that the apocalypse would arrive soon. Could it be that he would have to lie to the people and tell them that everything would be okay?

He really did not want to do that. Sure, he was somewhat shameless, but this was taking things a step too far.

To be honest, even he did not know how terrifying the apocalypse would be. However, anything that was worthy of being called an apocalypse in the future was definitely something on the level, or greater than, the super meteorite incident.

Furthermore, unlike the super meteorite incident, Wang Mang had no way of resolving the apocalypse.

Therefore, even if it was just to calm the people and appease them, it was not something that he could bring himself to do. At that time, people would look to him for protection, but could he even protect himself?

He had some measure of confidence, but he was not 100% sure.

Thus, Wang Mang was now in a difficult position.

Naturally, he did not want to agree to their request.

At this moment, the system¹ s voice rang out in Wang Mang’s mind.

[ I Ding! Host’s current status detected! The host is given rhe following mission options! |

[Mission 1: In the face of the impending apocalypse, refuse to appease the hearts of the people and wait until the apocalypse arrives! I

[Mission Time: 13 days! The apocalypse is coming!]

[Mission Reward: 1.3 billion evolution value, Advanced Gacha xi! ]

[Mission 2: In the face of the impending apocalypse, help to appease the hearts of the people and wait until the apocalypse arrives! ]

[MissionTime: 13 days! The apocalypse is coming!]

[Mission Reward: 8 billion evolution value. Top-grade Gacha xi!]

[Mission 3: In the face of the impending apocalypse, tell the people the cruel truth and wait until rhe apocalypse arrives!]

[MissionTime: 13 days! The apocalypse is coming!]

[Mission Reward: 13 billion evolution value, Top-grade Gacha x2, Randomized Red Envelope X3! ]

Wang Mang was stunned. He had not expected the system to issue a mission regarding this request.

Based on the rewards, Wang Mang was tempted to choose the third option. The problem was that if he did, it would cause chaos. However, the first two options went against his conscience.

Wang Mang felt that it was inappropriate to stand by and do nothing for the people, and also felt that it was inappropriate to deceive them.

In the end, Wang Mang decided to choose the third option.

Of course, this matter had to be discussed with the Red Empire. In any case, it would be best if the people had time to prepare themselves.

“System, I choose Mission 3!”

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward! ]

After receiving the systern’s confirmation, Wang Mang looked at the two liaison officers and said indifferently, “If you want me to deceive the people on your behalf like the other empires, then forget it!”

“Instead of pulling wool over their eyes, why don’t you tell them the truth and allow them to prepare themselves?”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two liaison officers were stunned and revealed bitter smiles on their faces.

One of rhe liaison officers explained bitterly, “Lord Guardian Beast, once we tell the truth, the world will explode into chaos.”

“The world’s economy, system, order, law, and so on, will disintegrate.’¹

“The consequences of this are unimaginable. Civilization and social order will be disrupted, and any form of law and order will cease to exist!”

Wang Mang was stunned.

He only wanted to tell the people the truth, but had not really considered the consequences.

How would the people react? Would they descend into the abyss of despair?

Wang Mang could naturally imagine that scene. The consequences were indeed heavy!

Thinking this, he felt even more conflicted.

After a long silence, Wang Mang nodded indifferently.

“I can appease them, but I will still tell them the truth before the apocalypse.”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two liaison officers exchanged a brief glance and said, “Lord Guardian Beast, we will immediately convey your thoughts.”

“However, whether or not this is acceptable depends on the decision of the higher-ups.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded slightly and waved his hand.

“Alright! Also, get me a phone!”

“If you have any news, contact me immediately!”

The two young liaisons were surprised. Lord Guardian Beast seemed to be quite familiar with technology!

However, they were not in the mood to ponder this matter. After leaving behind some military communication equipment, they left in a hurry to inform their higher-ups.

Once they left, Wang Mang also left the cave, giving some instructions to his subordinates before leaving I luanshan Reservoir.

Then, he transformed into an eagle and flew toward his grandmother’s house impatiently.

However, to Wang Mang’s surprise, his grandmother’s house was already empty.

Hmm…

His father must have been worried, so he took his grandmother away.

Thinking this, Wang Mang felt much more at ease.

The next moment, Wang Mang flapped his wings and flew into the sky again. He wanted to see what human society had become.

A few minutes later, just as he was about to reach rhe town at the foot of rhe mountain, Wang Mang found a hidden corner and took on his human form.

After that, Wang Mang happily walked into the town.

However, when he entered the town, he was completely stunned by rhe scene in front of him..
