When Jia Xitong opened her eyes again, they were clear.

She looked at the corpses on the ground, her most important relatives and friends dead in front of her, and the grief was far more profound than when she was mentally ill.

Above them, Shang Yanting and Xiao Shang were engaged in a duel!

As Jia Xitong recalled the events, she broke out in a cold sweat, because the culprit behind this outcome was herself!

If Xiao Shang hadn't arbitrarily interfered in the original world, he wouldn't have realized that there were other worlds besides that one;

If I hadn't intervened in the original world so casually, so many people wouldn't have died, and Shang Yanting and Xiao Shang wouldn't have fought to the death.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." She brought utter destruction to the world!

"System, I...I..."

Just as she was clearing her memory, Jia Xitong was shocked, guilty, and incoherent because of recent events.

What should she do to remedy the current problem?

[Hello, task participant. You have now completed the task: Help the male protagonist, Shang Yanting, become a god.]

[Mission complete: Prevent the male protagonist, Shang Yanting, from destroying the world.]

You can now return to the original world. Do you accept?

Jia Xitong stared at the pile of corpses on the ground, her lips trembling. "I'm not going back. Can you help me bring them back to life? Uncle Karl, Dokar, Huo Rui, Meiji..."

Please, please save them!

When she spoke again, tears were streaming down her face.

Jia Xitong cried her heart out, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back. I'm sorry, please save them! Waaah, dear host, waaaah, Mommy!"

She couldn't hold it in anymore.

She completely broke down emotionally.

Especially after realizing the enormity of her mistake, she struggled to break free of the demonic energy cage, attempting to stop the battle.

The system is not capable of resurrecting the dead.

You can choose your desired features, such as immortality.

The appearance of the true system is devastating, and its cold voice is even more despairing.

Jia Xitong stared blankly at the people in the sky, her eyes empty and lifeless. "Then what should I do? Can you give me enough power to kill... Xiao Shang?"

[In the original work, Shang Yanting belongs to the Demon God.]

[Even a demon is a god.]

[With the current system's capabilities, it is not possible to kill the original Shang Yanting.]

The system was coldly explaining her problem to Jia Xitong, while Shang Yanting had already broken through.

There was no tribulation or hardship.

After absorbing the power of faith, his advancement was exceptionally smooth.

Gods!

The continent of Aotian was instantly split in two, one side shrouded in darkness, the other illuminated by light. When Shang Yanting opened his eyes again, he had completely reached the level of a god.

However, Shang Yanting in the original story laughed, "Do you think you can kill me just because you've become a god?"

Even if Shang Yanting becomes a god, he cannot kill the original Shang Yanting.

The two of them are like two equally heavy objects on opposite ends of a scale; even with God's magnanimity, they can only hold each other back.

One god cannot kill another god.

They can only coexist.

...

The system's cold voice, seemingly slow but actually rapid, broadcast the message without a trace of emotion: "[The system suggests you choose to return to your original world or choose immortality.]"

Jia Xitong squatted silently in the basket built of magic.

She ignored the confrontation between the two above her and the pleading people below, seemingly withdrawn. After a long while, she suddenly spoke, "System, what happened to your disappearance earlier?"

The system has malfunctioned and is forced to hibernate.

"Yeah?"

Jia Xitong's voice became very soft, as if she were talking to it, or as if she were murmuring to herself, "I've always been curious about who created you, and who made you choose me."

“You’re telling me to treat Shang Yanting as a mission, a strategy, but many people have already failed to conquer him before.”

"What is the goal of this strategy? To make Shang Yanting a god?"

"No, I remember the highest level objective was to protect the Aotian Continent from destruction."

Jia Xitong said softly, and the system, which was not supposed to respond, fell silent. "Then who cares so much about the Aotian Continent and hopes that it will not be destroyed? That person is the one who created you, isn't it?"

System Gordon, please.

I suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Is he the God who created this world? The author of that book?"

wrong.

How can we be sure that the author of that book created this world? Maybe such a book doesn't even exist, and the novel is just the trigger that brought everything to this.

What other gods are there?

The God of War, the God of Talismans, and the other four?

That's even more incorrect. If they had that kind of power, they could have killed this future world-destroying competitor the moment Shang Yanting was born. Moreover, according to the rules, that person very much wanted Shang Yanting to become a god, but simply didn't want him to destroy the world.

Who is that?

It's really too difficult.

Jia Xitong bit her thumb and muttered to herself. Suddenly, she stopped and looked ahead at the empty space in front of her. "System, could it be yourself?"

The voice in her mind paused for a second, [What?]

"The Savior System is the Aotian Continent, and the Aotian Continent is your system."

A world, knowing it was about to be destroyed, took steps to save itself. Unable to interfere with the lives of the inhabitants of the continent, it sought to select an outsider capable of stopping Shang Yanting's world-destroying efforts.

After numerous failures, I, the ultimate traitor, finally appeared.

This explains its purpose in doing these things, why it could produce so many treasures, and even why it disappeared for a long period of time in the middle.

Because another character named Shang Yanting from the original work has appeared!

It fearfully hid from the male protagonist who had already destroyed another version of himself.

She's a fake system, and so is it!

Jia Xitong looked towards the void, yet it seemed as if she were gazing at the Aotian Continent itself. "You still won't admit it, System? Or perhaps I should call you the World Consciousness?"

After she said that, the system remained silent for a long time.

Finally, a deep, aged voice came from within: "You are truly intelligent."

He looks foolish, but he was the first to discover the opportunity to become a god, and the only mission taker who guessed his identity. He is smarter than anyone else!

But so what? Now that its world rules have been completed, the two Shang Yantings are locked in a stalemate, each helpless against the other. Its goal has been achieved, and it no longer needs Jia Xitong.

I will send you back to your original world, erasing your memories of this place, as if...

"I'm going to kill Xiao Shang and end all of this."

Before the voice finished speaking, Jia Xitong said decisively, "You have no other choice but to cooperate with me, otherwise the fate of Aotian Continent will still be destruction."
