"..."
As Lu Shizhen listened to the last part of the story told to her by the main system, her eyes, which had been red, immediately welled up again.
Not only did I back down, but I also really wanted to curse.
When she heard the first story, she thought it was about a pitiful god who had turned evil because of love but could not get it, and she planned to be gentle with him in the future.
Now all she wanted to do was tear her decision to shreds and stomp on it mercilessly; she'd be being lenient if she didn't completely destroy her.
What did the former chief god do wrong?
What have all the beings in this world done wrong?
What did Qiuqiu do wrong again?
The deity, who was supposed to take responsibility, deceived everyone by using the innocent body of a little girl.
She deceived everyone, wantonly trampled on life, and obsessively demanded that all living beings do as she pleased.
This supreme deity is all too aware of the inherent vulnerability and pitifulness of the young.
so……
Lu Shizhen frowned and said in a low voice, "The little girl will always be a little girl. It's not that she can't grow up, but that she wants to live forever and never be replaced or die."
The main system's light dimmed slightly: "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that my current independent consciousness and emotions are all obtained and received from 0253."
As he said this, the main system slowly turned to look at the indignant Lu Shizhen and said, "That's why I want to seek your cooperation. In the past 300 trillion years, I have never seen a host cultivate a system that has developed an independent consciousness close to that of the main system."
Upon hearing the summary of the main system, Lu Shizhen suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.
The resentment in my heart was suddenly dispelled, leaving only a feeling of shame and embarrassment: "Maybe it was just a coincidence."
The main system shook its head upon hearing this.
She seemed to have something to say, but after a pause, she didn't elaborate on the matter of 0253 with Lu Shizhen.
The massive sphere slowly projected light onto Xu Shiyue, bringing the topic back on track: "I think Miss Xu should now be very clear about the bug attribute on her. The main god has tried to fix it countless times before, and Miss Xu should have sensed this and refused such repairs. And an unfixable bug is a threat to both the main system and the main god."
Xu Shiyue leaned back in her chair, showing no obvious reaction to her seemingly enormous strength.
She clasped her hands together, gently rubbing the backs of her hands, and said slowly to the main system, "To put it another way, I now possess the power to kill the main god."
“That’s right.” The main system nodded. “And the host also has it.”
"Me?" Lu Shizhen's voice was full of surprise.
Whether it was because she was used to Qiuqiu calling her "host" or because she heard someone of such high status addressing her as "host," Lu Shizhen suddenly felt a little awkward about the title.
She scratched her nose awkwardly, somewhat relaxed yet not quite, and asked, "Since you say it's related to me too, then I have to ask a rather immature question. I don't know how to get rid of that person right now?"
"Destroy her central system? If she is destroyed, will her control over you disappear, and will you become a supreme god immediately, just like she did in the past?"
The main system smiled slightly as it listened to Lu Shizhen's questioning method, and said in a gentle voice, "Actually, the host has already given the answer herself."
"The only way for a supreme god to be destroyed is through natural replacement by a new supreme god. If the central system is destroyed for a long enough time, her bodily functions will collapse and freeze before they can be repaired, and she will be completely dissolved."
Xu Shiyue seemed to have guessed all of this as well, and looked up at the main system: "That's why your main god was in such a hurry to get rid of me and Lu Shizhen today, and why you are so eager to cooperate with us immediately."
"Your current conflict is not just about her checks and balances on you; many parts of the world have also been affected by her paranoid behavior and become unstable."
“That’s right.” The main system nodded, having to admire Xu Shiyue’s insightful reasoning abilities.
It is such a tiny human being who is able to understand the affairs between them so thoroughly.
But it is precisely because of her actions that she was able to become the one who could restore everything to normal.
"You are bugs. Bugs will be eliminated by the extremely rejecting program within the main god's body, which will break you down into viruses. This is the result I analyzed from the main god's killing of the previous main god," the main system said.
Lu Shizhen's brain was working at lightning speed, and she reacted exceptionally quickly: "So we are the knives that she stabbed into the body of the previous God. As long as we, as bugs, can touch her system's core for enough time, we can trigger her self-destruction."
“That’s right.” The main system nodded, giving Lu Shizhen a very affirmative answer.
"Oh."
Upon hearing this confirmation, Lu Shizhen let out a disdainful laugh through her nose.
What kind of karmic retribution is this? A plot that's digging its own grave.
I wonder if she ever thought that when she killed the god to seize power, she would one day be killed in the same way.
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen seemed to have realized something and looked thoughtfully at the main system: "So, according to what we just said... this matter can actually be accomplished by just one person... right?"
"Theoretically, yes..."
"Don't try to go by yourself."
Just as the main system was about to nod, Xu Shiyue interrupted it.
She looked a bit fierce, her voice was low and cold, and her sharp eyes immediately struck Lu Shizhen's mind.
"I didn't say I was going to do it myself, I was just asking..." Lu Shizhen felt a little guilty after being caught, and her rebuttal was also very soft.
She just didn't want Xu Shiyue to take any risks.
Judging from what happened this morning, the Supreme God is truly in danger. They are indeed a bug, possessing the power to destroy the Supreme God, but the Supreme God can also easily eliminate them.
Xu Shiyue, unusually, did not dwell on her idea and turned to the main system deployment, saying, "What happened today proves that the main god may attack us at any time, so the plan may not be useful. However, I still hope that you can improve Lu Shien's program and open a channel for me to enter your system."
"Don't worry, Miss Xu, I will definitely improve Lu Shi'en's program as soon as possible." The main system nodded in assurance. "She really did a great job, greatly reducing the time it took for me to rebuild and reconnect with this world."
"I will compress this thing as much as possible to make it a protective charm for Miss Xu. This way, Miss Xu can freely enter the system space, and the human body will not cause the algorithm to have an adverse reaction, decompose and devour it."
Thank you.
Although Xu Shiyue was somewhat arbitrary when she interrupted the main system's reply earlier, she was now showing exceptional respect and politeness towards the main system.
She nodded slightly to the main system, then looked at Lu Shizhen, who had just been scolded and left standing to the side.
Xu Shiyue's eyes did not appear as composed as before; they were dark and filled with indescribable emotions.
Her lips were slightly pursed and her voice was calm as she tried to speak: "Finding you wasn't my achievement alone. If it weren't for Lu Shi'en, you wouldn't have walked right into the trap because of a false signal. In reality, many things can't be accomplished by one person alone, and you wouldn't want me to worry about you, would you?"
Xu Shiyue paused for a moment at this point.
Many memories from the past surged in her mind with Lu Shizhen's words, stretching out into five lonely years.
The sunlight draped Lu Shizhen in her vision with a bright yet ethereal veil, just like the image that would never fade from her memory.
Obsession gradually gathered in her eyes, and the feeling of not wanting to lose it again became increasingly clear in this picture.
Xu Shiyue's eyes flickered slightly, and her voice was low and somewhat hoarse: "Lu Shizhen, to put it bluntly, even if you die, I have to watch you die with my own eyes."
As she spoke, her teeth seemed to be clenched together, tightly suppressing intense hatred.
Not just towards Lu Shizhen, but also towards himself.
He wondered why he had given Lu Shizhen that opportunity five years ago.
The regret and pain he felt for neglecting Xu Shouxian and causing Lu Shizhen to die in that fire.
And now, with the passage of time and the emergence of Lu Shizhen's thoughts, the unease and fear become increasingly apparent.
For some reason, she suddenly understood for a moment the words the main god had said to the former main god while crying.
But clearly that person is a born paranoid lunatic, a bad seed whose words are a mixture of truth and falsehood.
But understanding does not mean agreeing.
Even though Xu Shiyue understood the Goddess's feelings back then, she couldn't kill the person who wanted to die in her place like she did.
That was her lover.
He was a lover she would protect with her life.
Xu Shiyue slightly concealed the deep gloom in her eyes, and looked directly at Lu Shizhen with gentle calmness, as if she wanted to look into her eyes and engrave the next words into her heart: "Lu Shizhen, this time don't even think about 'leaving' me again where I can't see you."
Lu Shizhen felt a sudden jolt in her heart.
It was as if something had collapsed, or as if something had risen from the ground. The enormous tree had its roots deeply embedded in the soil, and then, with just one sentence, it suddenly burst forth from the soil, its lush branches and leaves stretching across the verdant wilderness of Lu Shizhen.
She understood the meaning behind Xu Shiyue's words.
The tree that guards her is lush and leafy, and every leaf silently tells the story of five years.
She couldn't bear to lose herself helplessly after hearing only news of someone's death, just like last time.
She couldn't just leave her waiting there, her laughter and tears all tied to a life-or-death situation.
She was wrong.
She wasn't doing it for Xu Shiyue, but for herself.
Lu Shizhen paused slightly, then lowered her head in the light and shadow: "I'm sorry, October."
She thought she should have told Xu Shiyue this a long, long time ago.
As early as the day of the book signing, or even earlier in the car, or even on the first day of our reunion.
“October,” Xu Shiyue repeated.
Lu Shizhen paused for a moment, seemingly puzzled.
Then Xu Shiyue explained, "I was born in October, so people close to me call me October."
"Although the pronunciation is the same, I still hope you can call me by this name."
When Lu Shizhen heard Xu Shiyue's correction, she opened her mouth, wanting to tell her that she knew, and that she had just said "October".
Suddenly it stopped.
She wasn't someone close to Xu Shiyue in the past, and I don't remember having that title when I read the original text.
So how did she know that?
