"Oh dear, I'm sorry you figured it out." The main system laughed heartily, not noticing anything amiss about being embarrassed.
Su Chen's expression froze. "You...you are fate? Is fate a person?"
Main system: "I'm not human."
Su Chen exclaimed in shock, "You're not human?"
The main system frowned and said, "Why do I feel like you're insulting me?"
Su Chen: "Hahahaha...No."
The main system's inner monologue: I don't believe it.
"But speaking of which... isn't fate something you can't see or touch? How come you have a physical form?" Su Chen quickly retorted.
"Yes, you're right, I really don't have a physical form." The main system blinked and then turned into a cloud of mist.
After floating for a while, it solidified into a human shape behind the desk.
"You...you were the one who saved me, Ningwu, and Pink Dumpling that day?" Su Chen opened her mouth wide in surprise.
The main system shrugged. "I guess you could say that."
Su Chen: "Wait a minute, it seems like we've gone off-topic."
Main System: "Oh right, speaking of which, I was the one who got you bound to the system."
Su Chen: "Yes, yes, we've arrived. Please continue."
"Actually, this matter wasn't entirely under my control. Rather, you and Ningwu had a contract from a previous life, and you also had a connection with the villain."
“The contract I made with you in my past life is the cause, and being bound to you is the effect.”
"Jin Yu's soul was scattered because of you, that is the cause. You went to countless worlds to bring back his soul, that is the effect."
Su Chen frowned and asked, "Did I bring Jin Yu's soul back?"
The main system nodded. "That's right, driven by love, haunted by dreams."
"But I only rediscovered my emotions after coming into this world. How can I use emotions as a starting point?"
"Do you know where you lost your love?" the main system asked with a half-smile.
"This..." Su Chen really didn't know.
The main system then asked, "You should have seen the Prehistoric Stone, right?"
"I've seen it."
What was the ending of your past life that you saw?
"Jump into the abyss."
Do you know what's in the Endless Abyss?
"I don't know."
"Would you like to go in and take another look?"
Su Chen frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
"From what you're saying, are you implying that you want me to jump into the Abyss again?"
The main system hurriedly said, "I didn't say that, you did."
Su Chen: "What exactly are you plotting? You might as well just say it. Why keep it to yourself?"
The main system shook its head and urged, "You could jump in and take a look; you might even see the truth about this world."
Su Chen said bluntly, "Although I don't remember what's in the Endless Abyss, it must be terrifying, so terrifying that even you, who controls destiny, don't want to jump in yourself, yet you're encouraging others to jump!"
The main system scratched its head. "Well... well, it's better to see through things but not say them outright."
"When can I go back?" Su Chen leaned closer to the desk. "Have you told me everything you wanted to say?"
"You didn't agree even after I finished speaking, so let's go back."
Su Chen said speechlessly, "So, can one disagree with the arrangements of fate?"
The main system winked and said, "Who knows?"
Su Chen felt that this fate was very unreliable, and that the world was probably doomed if it fell into her hands.
"I know what you're saying about me," the main system said, its face darkening. "Please, don't talk about people behind their backs anymore. I heard you perfectly well!"
Su Chen scratched her head awkwardly. "Oh. I hope you'll look after me in the future. And while you're at it, look after my Jin Yu too, he's so unlucky."
