Jiang Tian stared at the main god without saying a word.

The God's gaze tried to meet hers several times, but then averted as if burned.

He looked both pained and conflicted.

"I..." The voice of the Supreme God was pausing, a rarity for an intelligent being, "There are some things that cannot be said too explicitly. As you know, the auditing procedures in our world scan the data streams of every Supreme God 24 hours a day, and will report any abnormal connections immediately."

"But in fact, your very existence is abnormal. Even if you take on the lowest-level tasks in the 'Tools' department, those little worlds whose destinies you've rewritten are still frantically giving you energy. You're too different. I think it's inevitable that I'll fall in love with you..."

Jiang Tian suddenly spoke, her voice as soft as dust: "So, your talk of going home was a lie from the very beginning, wasn't it?"

The Supreme God remained silent for a long, long time before whispering, "Yes. It's all a scam. The points system is the bait, and the allure of the real world is the cage. All the hosts are walking energy batteries, laborers we feed, responsible for harvesting energy for us, and you..." He looked up, "You are the best, so good that they fear all the energy will belong to you alone, leaving them with nothing."

Jiang Tian suddenly smiled.

"Isn't all of this absurd?"

"So you're sending me back to the female lead department to cram me back onto the assembly line as a model worker? Didn't you say they wanted to find a loophole to eliminate me?!" She pressed closer to the main god. "Or are you actually like them, believing that tools should act like tools? If you're going to be eliminated, then you're eliminated... What are you still hiding?"

The god seemed somewhat dazed as she stared at him. He subconsciously reached out to touch her, but then abruptly withdrew his hand.

“It’s different,” he avoided her gaze, “They treat their hosts like expendable resources, but I—I just want you to be well…”

"Am I different from other hosts?" Jiang Tian took over the conversation, her tone less sharp and more inquisitive.

"right."

"So, have you figured out what makes me special?"

The Supreme God shook his head: "No, they conducted a very detailed study on you, and the result is that you are just a host selected from a small world, with no other hidden identity. They also don't know why you can interfere with the energy harvest at will, or even make the energy spontaneously gather on you."

"Your kind have been studying me all along."

“I am not like them.”

The supreme deity suddenly grabbed her wrist, this time without flinching. His hand trembled. "They use algorithms to calculate pros and cons, oppressing you, but I—"

“I’m different from them. Before I even had a human form, I was always partnered with you. In my heart, we’re the real team, we should be the best pair—”

Everything suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Tian looked into the eyes of the God and didn't say anything particularly embarrassing.

"So you want to protect me, but you don't dare to betray the system." Jiang Tian didn't back down. "Just like now, you say you want to hide me, but at the same time you push me into the tiger's mouth of the female lead department."

“I’m just a manager of a sub-world, and my authority is limited.” He suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with a desperate madness. “But if you’re willing to come with me, I can take you to the most secret world and protect you.”

“But I know you won’t choose that. You don’t want to be a deserter, so you might as well go back to the female lead’s unit first. Let’s bide our time and I will plead for you and ask them to wait. Once everything is clear, I think you will put an end to all of this.”

"You're right, I don't want to run away."

Jiang Tian had an indescribable expression on her face.

"Because I know your authority is also limited. You said you wanted to help me escape, but you can't even calculate how long you can escape before we're caught again. I'll still be a prisoner, so what's the point of escaping?"

The supreme deity fell silent; he truly did not possess such great power, nor could he save the one he loved.

"So, you're communicating with me this time on their orders?"

"Yes, I've convinced them to give you a break, but they'll be monitoring you all the time. I don't know what to do, so I'm telling you everything. I think you'll choose the path you want to take."

"You told me this inside secret, didn't you think about how much risk you would be taking? I remember you all have procedures for being monitored."

The Supreme God shook his head: "It's alright. There are loopholes in everything. As long as I find them, I can escape punishment."

Jiang Tian continued to nod.

The two suddenly fell silent.

Even though Jiang Tian's life is hanging by a thread and she doesn't know what kind of danger she will face, she still has the mood to discuss some issues with the main god.

"Why were we captured? Did we really encounter an accident that led us to this alternate dimension, or did you cause an accident for us to come here?"

Jiang Tian's questions were indeed very sharp, and most people would find them difficult to answer.

“You really did have an accident. We can’t just take lives like that. That would also violate the rules. The rules are our important foundation, and no one can go against the rules.”

Jiang Tian nodded: "So we do have obsessions, but we just can't go back, because you made promises to us but had no intention of fulfilling them."

The chief god remained silent, which clearly indicated his tacit agreement.

Jiang Tian sighed, then laughed.

It's unbelievable that after working so diligently on missions for so many years, she only realized it was all a scam when she was in danger.

And they are destined to be just laborers.

This world is quite business-minded; hiring them is just a way to bring trouble upon them.

"Has your life changed after you took human form?"

Jiang Tian suddenly asked the main god an unrelated question.

The supreme god glanced at her and nodded seriously: "I am trying to learn human habits. I can now be considered someone who can contribute to human society and production. I will adapt to all your human problems."

"No one needs you to enter the human world. I just want to ask you now: when it comes to me fighting against those people, will you stand by my side? Even though we've been partners for many years, I know very well how much you've gone through to get to your current position as the supreme god. Will you give up everything for me? Perhaps you will be destroyed as well."

Upon hearing this question, the Supreme God's expression remained unchanged.

But soon he looked at Jiang Tian, ​​a slight smile appearing in his eyes: "Before you came into my world, I had been wandering alone for a very long time. I never thought I would find what my heart longed for. But fate always takes unexpected turns, and we eventually met. When I realized how I felt about you, I felt only fortunate."

"After being a lonely intelligent being for so many years, I have actually developed feelings for you. This is my miracle and my pride."

"So, if you want to do it, then go for it. Whoever you want to fight, I will stand by your side and fight alongside you."
