888 looked at the main god in a daze, opening and closing his mouth. He wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start, and he didn't even know what to ask.
The Lord God's words really stunned him.
The Lord God couldn't help laughing as he watched his expression change back and forth. "You want to know why you are so tolerant of them, right?"
888 nodded blankly. "This isn't tolerance anymore, it's indulgence, right?"
The Lord God smiled again. She stood up and lightly stroked the air with her finger. A picture appeared in the air with a flash of light.
In the scroll, a man in white clothes and red eyes was holding a whip and looking at the picture slowly. Although he had no intention of killing, he was inexplicably frightened.
888 held his breath, subconsciously took a step back and turned his face away, not daring to look him in the eye.
But he quickly reacted and turned his head sharply, "This is... Jiang Lusheng?"
The Lord God nodded and put the scroll away. "Because you are a secondary system, there are many things you are not authorized to know. However, today's matter is extraordinary, so it's okay to tell you."
"As the ancients passed through the ages, they gradually fell, their souls scattered, waiting for the right moment to awaken and start anew, or simply to remain dormant. Therefore, the position of the Lord in the temple remained vacant, and only the Lord God passed it down from generation to generation to maintain the operation of the world. However, each generation of the Lord God also had to descend to the mortal world to gain experience, accumulate luck, and undergo countless trials and tribulations before they could secure this position."
888 was confused. "No wonder the Lord God is not in the temple most of the time."
The Lord God smiled, "Because we are also very busy. The main system was born at this time. When the Lord God is away, it can ensure the order of the three thousand worlds and fill any loopholes in time. This has been the case for thousands of years, but there is one person who is special. He is not within our order and has even become a part of the way of heaven."
888 suddenly realized: "Jiang Lusheng?"
"Yes, if we were to simply classify him, he should be considered a demon god."
888: “???”
Is there such a position? Is it a demon or a god?
As if hearing his inner voice, the Lord God said firmly: "It is God."
"Ah? Why?" 888 was puzzled.
The Lord God sighed and sat back on his throne. "He was born when heaven and earth were in chaos. He was born at the intersection of yin and yang, where good and evil blend together. Therefore, he is naturally able to absorb all kinds of evil thoughts for cultivation. After these things enter his body, they are transformed into pure spiritual power and released. So he is both a demon and a god, but in essence, he is a god, a unique and indispensable god."
888 hadn't expected Jiang Lusheng to be so powerful, so he asked a silly question: "Is he more powerful than the Lord God?"
The Lord God paused, then laughed heartily. "Of course, Lord Gods change from generation to generation, but there is only one Demon God. Therefore, no one knows how terrifying his power is, and no one dares to provoke him. He never enters the world, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, but every thousand years he enters reincarnation, absorbing the evil thoughts of the world, tempering himself, and returning peace to the world."
"So this is because his thousand-year period has come to an end, that's why he's appearing in the human world?" 888 finally understood. "Then is it really okay for him to be in love with Lan Shuang? He's lived for so long, he must have met many people, right? Hasn't he ever had a partner?"
He was still worried about Lan Shuang.
The Lord God shook his head. "At the level of a demon god, beauty is nothing more than a facade to him. How could he be easily seduced by appearances? He only likes that person. If they meet, they meet. If they don't, he won't let himself down. You don't need to worry too much."
"But the demon god has an infinite lifespan, while Lan Shuang is just an ordinary person. She will eventually grow old, get sick, and die. What should we do then? We can't live in the mission world forever, right?"
888 finally struggled.
The Lord God walked down and touched his head, saying lovingly, "Silly child, wouldn't the Demon God have thought about this problem? He has lived for so many years, so he must have a solution. The simplest one is dual cultivation."
888: “…”
It seems so.
"If other taskers and people from the task world get entangled, the Administration will intervene to some extent. After all, many times their so-called feelings may be just a suspension bridge effect. When the passion fades, it is often the tasker who regrets it. After all, they are sinking into depravity with awareness, while people from the task world enter reincarnation and forget everything in their next life. Therefore, the rules are to protect those who are more vulnerable."
The Lord God sighed, "But Lan Shuang and the Demon God, this is a destined fate. I can't interfere. We'll see what happens in the future. Now you can go back."
So 888 went back. He was so worried when he came that he didn't use any of the drafts he wrote. He was a little depressed, but when he thought that Lan Shuang was fine, he relaxed again.
Never mind, nothing else matters, as long as the final result is good.
…
Lan Shuang saw that 888 hadn't said anything more, so she asked again, "What's the problem?"
888 opened his mouth, wanting to ask about Jiang Lusheng's identity, but the words died on the tip of his tongue. He immediately understood that this might be some kind of taboo that could not be mentioned in the small world, so he tactfully changed the subject: "It's nothing. The Administration and the Lord God have said that they will not care about you. You can rest assured to pursue your relationship."
Growing more depressed, 888 added: "Then I'll have to eat dog food all day long?"
Lan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Ah, Xiao Baba, you're the best. After all, you've come through several worlds and eaten a lot of dog food, so you should be used to it."
888: "Did anyone say that?"
"Forget it, I can't control you guys, just do whatever you want." 888 lay flat in the space, with his hands placed on his chest, his posture very peaceful.
Lan Shuang leaned on Mu Yan's shoulder with a smile. Mu Yan touched her hair and asked, "What are you laughing at? You look so happy?"
Lan Shuang told Mu Yan about the 888 incident. Mu Yan curled his lips and said, "They won't care. I expected that. Now I just want you to be completely relieved. Don't look at me like that again in the future."
Lan Shuang straightened up and asked in confusion: "What did I look at you with?"
Mu Yan's expression was gentle. His fingertips gently brushed her eyelids and finally touched her eyelashes. "It's as if I will lose my sad eyes in the next moment."
"Ah? Really? Don't spread rumors!" Lan Shuang touched her eyes and thought about it uncertainly. Did she have it? No?
Mu Yan turned his face and touched her lips, resting his forehead against hers, and whispered, "Yes, you can't see it yourself, but every time you said you liked me, it was with a sense of determination and attachment. You were worried that I couldn't always be with you, and you didn't know how long we could go on, so you treated every time as the last time, right?"
Lan Shuang's heart skipped a beat and her nose felt inexplicably sore.
