"Aren't you a scumbag who takes pleasure in other people's suffering? I heard about you in the previous world."
"So, does that mean everyone in your family is my follower?" The chairman looked very proud and smug.
"If those who are deceived and cheated can be considered believers."
“You can’t say that. Once you get it, it’s mine,” the chairman said. “They all like me because I can bring them money, power, and a sense of superiority over others.”
"Can they do it on their own?"
"You ruined them."
"Was I the one who destroyed them? It was clearly their own greed and competitiveness; I just gave them a push from behind."
“Even without me, they would find other crooked ways to do bad things. It’s better for me to just use my divine power to solve the problem for them in a second.”
"In fact, thanks to me, they've done fewer bad things overall."
What do you want to do?
"Don't look at me with that murderous look in your eyes."
"I won't do anything. I'll just watch humanity kill each other and destroy itself. Your performance is the best show for me. At most, I'll provide some off-stage assistance to those greedy people, which isn't too much to ask, is it? Even if I don't provide assistance, they can do it themselves." The chairman spoke eloquently, like a sanctimonious politician.
"You shouldn't mind, right? Snow, or are you here to save me and reform me?"
"..."
"No need. It's disgusting to use the phrase 'repent and reform' on you."
"Don't keep calling me disgusting, or I'll make you even more disgusted." The chairman grabbed Lin Xue's hand, intending to perform the Western custom of kissing her hand.
Lin Xue immediately pulled her hand away.
"Did you see the ending of the story?" the chairman asked, changing the subject at the opportune moment.
No. But Lin Xue didn't want to answer that question.
"You definitely haven't seen it, so let me tell you."
One day, Lin Xue saw the comments section and learned that she was actually the male protagonist of a restricted novel on Qidian.com.
"Whether in the world of Qidian or in the world of restricted literature, his purpose in existing is to fulfill the wishes of others."
"Everyone placed their hopes on him."
"It's like parents placing their life's hopes and dreams on their children."
"[Finally, overwhelmed, Lin Xue uttered a soul-searching question:]"
"Can't I live for myself?"
"Why should I care about other people's feelings when no one else cares about mine?"
"He was tormented by the fact that his fate was controlled by others, and that his whole life was spent working for the benefit of others. He finally decided to worship at the feet of the evil god and live forever with the evil god until he saw the destruction of mankind."
"You are not an ordinary human being at all; this body is merely a temporary dwelling for you."
“You are completely different from those low-dimensional, unawakened NPCs. You are a god who voluntarily descended to the mortal realm to enlighten them.”
"Only when you recognize reality can you escape the boundless sea of suffering, rediscover your divine power, and live a happy life..."
"Dear savior, quickly recognize the terrible reality of this world and come to my side."
"The kind of happy life that ordinary people are looking for simply doesn't exist."
"As long as you live in this world, there will always be fools and petty people causing trouble for you like fleas."
"Haven't you experienced enough of human folly in the previous worlds?"
"My parents and family said: We are incapable, we are counting on you."
"The people are living in dire straits, yet they do nothing and place all their hopes on you."
"After your hard work, instead of thanking you, they blame you for not doing a good enough job, for not eliminating all the monsters, which caused countless more people in the world to die."
"When you helped them drive away the terrible monsters, they didn't say anything, thinking that it was something you, as the hero and the protagonist, should do."
"When you are harmed and corrupted by the supernatural, they fear you like snakes and scorpions, avoiding you as if you were a patient with a contagious disease."
"When you do good deeds, no one thanks you."
"When you're down on your luck, you'll be the first to die."
"They don't deserve to be saved or protected by you at all."
“You might think I’m a bit evil. But you should know that when it comes to doing bad things, stupid people are often more naturally good than bad people.”
“I am evil, but at least I will not be hypocritical like humans, who are extremely evil but still try to wave the banner of morality on themselves.”
"You don't belong to this world. You were originally just like me, cold-hearted, lonely, and misunderstood by others."
"You can always trust me, because the absolute audience will never be jealous of you, slander you, or hurt you."
"And those who share the stage with you will only feel inferior about their own incompetence and want to overshadow your brilliance."
"Everyone else in this world is a bad person. Only I am your friend forever."
"I have been observing you since the moment you were born into this world."
"Could I say I'm your first fan?"
"Among millions of people, I only saw you."
"Your soul is crystal clear, unlike the filthy souls of others."
"It makes me want to stop and watch."
“I cannot get any sustenance from you.”
"But I can't help but get close to you, just like a rhesus monkey clinging to its furry mother."
"When I first discovered you in the vast sea of people, you were so weak that someone could easily crush you with the flick of a finger."
"When I saw you, this little seedling, striving to grow even against the storm,"
"I couldn't help but put aside my work and keep coming to see you."
"I water you and fertilize you, hoping to see you grow stronger."
"You are my most treasured possession."
"Yet those despicable humans hurt you time and time again."
“I watched you grow up, watched you gradually acquire extraordinary strength, and became a dragon among men that everyone admires, fears, and respects.”
"Yet you become even more miserable."
"They only admire your strength, but no one cares how much suffering you have endured."
"They can only admire you and yearn for you, but they can't get close to you."
"Only I have been with you from beginning to end."
"Whether you are weak or strong, I will always be by your side."
"They all expect you to always meet their expectations and be their savior."
"And as long as you are alive, that is enough to make me overjoyed."
"I worry that you will lose your original brilliance, but I also want to see what you will become when you face those pains and sufferings."
"I both hope that you will become like me, and I fear that you will completely lose your original purity."
"If strength is what you desire, then I will grant you strength; if happiness is what you desire, then I will grant you happiness."
"This is my love for you."
"Should I be moved to tears right now?" Lin Xue gave the chairman a cold look.
"Alright, alright, I know you won't agree with my views until you've truly experienced how terrible the world is."
"Then I'll wait patiently. You can experience it for yourself in this world and see if what I said is correct."
The chairman gave a warm smile: "If you encounter any problems at school, you can come to me."
"I'm always ready to serve you."
Lin Xue left the chairman's office with a cold laugh. The Evil God was really going all out to get on his side.
They can even fabricate lies like claiming to be a god.
If someone has an inflated mindset, they might actually believe what he says, see themselves as a god superior to others, look down on those unawakened NPCs, hate humans more and more, and eventually turn to the evil god.
However, Lin Xue was not easily fooled by such words.
Am I a god?
Indeed, everyone is the god of their own life.
No one is inherently more noble. Just because someone is more capable or enlightened earlier doesn't mean they can treat others like ants, something they can trample and crush at will.
When a person considers himself a god who is transcendent and above other mortals, he has already become a de facto evil god.
What this bored evil god wants to do is to cultivate many self-proclaimed gods in the human world, who believe themselves to be more noble than others and have the right to decide the life and death of others. These evil god trainees are full of greed, anger, madness, and ignorance, making the world worse, more chaotic, and full of prejudice, while also making his divine power even greater.
Having clashed in the previous world, how could he not know what the other party was planning?
Unfortunately, everyone around him was taken away by the evil god one by one, and they converted to the evil god in body and mind. In the end, he himself became an evil heretic.
He didn't want to see another world fall under the control of an evil god.
As Lin Xue was about to leave the tailor shop, the chairman called him back again:
"Wait a moment."
"What do you want now?"
The chairman pulled out a box from somewhere: "This is something a student asked me to give to you."
"Please accept it; don't let their kindness go to waste."
Lin Xue stared at the box for a few seconds, seemingly detecting a faint scent inside:
"Strange?"
"Ah, this person was human in their previous life."
The chairman opened the box, revealing its contents.
Those were two blood-red human eyeballs.
The pupils were clear and bright, still retaining the hope they held in life; they were neither dimmed nor dulled, indicating that they were dug out while the body was still alive.
Lin Xue looked at the chairman with suspicion.
The chairman immediately explained, "He dug it out himself."
“I met someone who made a wish to me, saying that he would let the savior come.”
"After making his wish, he worried that he wouldn't be able to see his savior after he died, so he gouged out his eyes to see in his place."
