Apparently, plans have changed. During the conversation with Wu Chao, he said that the MC was an angel, a "robot" controlled by Heavens. Fortunately, with the interference of his mother, father and grandfather, the MC turned out to be neither an incomplete clone nor an angel, but in fact the second coming of Tang Wei.
For me, this is the best thing Nicky has done in the whole book, it's something that really sets his story apart, his protagonist was once very powerful, but he's not a reincarnation, nor has he gone back in time... In reality, the MC is the result of two failed plans, plans made by the two most powerful "beings" of all.
