The little girl's voice sounded somewhat resentful, and seemed particularly lonely in this endless white space.
But even though she was like this, Lu Shizhen still had a lot of resistance to calling her "sister".
—Who else but the Lord God would have met with them this morning!
A kind of anger rose from Lu Shizhen's head. He just looked at the pitiful little girl not far away, without any thought of sympathizing with her, and bluntly cut off his relationship with her: "Don't think that you can call me sister like Xiao En just because you have slept with her!"
"How dare you, a Lord God who has lived for more than 30 million years, call me sister?!"
When the little girl heard Lu Shizhen's words, the expression on her face changed immediately.
She walked down from her seat and looked at Lu Shizhen coldly: "It seems that the main system has told you everything about me and her, right?"
"Yes." Lu Shizhen did not hide it and nodded to the harmless young Lord God.
"So you also think that what I did was wrong, right?" the Lord God asked again.
"Yes." Lu Shizhen still nodded.
"But why?" The Lord God tilted her head slightly, as if thinking about a difficult problem that she couldn't figure out. "I just asked them to go towards each other according to the best destiny calculated by the main system. Isn't that good? Didn't you also think that Xu Shiyue should be given the best destiny? Why do you betray your past thoughts now?"
"Because that's not life." Lu Shizhen said.
"The life arranged by the spy is not the real life, but the most stable one among thousands of possibilities. It has already evolved. What's the point of playing it again?"
“Because stability is the most interesting thing.”
Unlike Lu Shizhen's rebuttal, the Lord's answer was neither hurried nor slow.
Her fair little feet stepped on the pure white ground, creating ripples that spread from far to near. She looked at this space that belonged to her and said arbitrarily: "It would be better if this world remained unchanged. Since things have been stipulated, they must be followed. Since agreements have been made, they must be fulfilled!"
Lu Shizhen didn't like such words, and even said that he hated them very much, and his words were a little fierce: "Then why don't you want to die? Why do you want to stop the evolution of the main system? Why do you want to violate the rules of your system?"
The atmosphere in the entire space suddenly became tense.
The Lord God looked down at Lu Shizhen like this, as if he was looking at a traitor who had rebelled against him. His dark pupils were so dark that one could not see the bottom of them. On her childish face, she looked childish, paranoid, and strangely terrifying.
Lu Shizhen squeezed her hand gently.
She was not sure whether she was dreaming or whether the Lord God had somehow brought her to the system space. She kept in mind what the main system had told her, that she had the power to kill the Lord God.
If this sick Lord God wanted to do something to her later, she must be prepared.
But Lu Shizhen's vigilance did not last long, and then the Lord God's eyes changed.
Her dark pupils were round and had lost all the maturity that was completely contrary to her childish face. They were clean and innocent like a child.
She just sat on the raised platform and whispered to Lu Shizhen: "Because she promised me."
"She promised me to protect me forever, and she can't break her promise."
"Can't."
"Can't."
The same words were spoken from the Lord God's mouth one after another. The legs hanging on the platform were slender and fragile, and they slowly bent and were hugged by her.
The hair that was originally draped over her back had grown visibly longer, thick and curly, and dark and full of traces of history, surrounding her entire thin body.
"She promised me that she would always be with me."
I don’t know if she was immersed in her own memories, but the Lord God told her story to the only person in this space.
"She was the first person I saw when I opened my eyes. She was so gentle and beautiful, like a person condensed from the purest white in the world."
The Lord God spoke carefully, his eyes shining.
Lu Shizhen paused for a moment, and suddenly realized that the "she" she was referring to was not the main system, but the previous main god.
"She carefully imparted knowledge that was useful to me, breaking it down and mashing it up to feed me."
"She admitted that I was important to her, so even though the world sometimes collapsed because of my arbitrariness, she never blamed me."
"She is always so gentle and kind to me. She is the best person in the world to me. I respect her, value her, and love her."
The little girl's childish voice was filled with pride and sincere piety.
Lu Shizhen felt that she seemed to really like the previous Lord God. Compared with the paranoia just now, her voice was much gentler.
"I will plant endless fields of wood sorrel here in the spring on earth, lotus in summer, and chrysanthemum in autumn."
Having said that, the Lord God paused for a moment, turned his gaze towards Lu Shizhen who was not far away, and asked with interest: "Hey, guess what winter is."
Lu Shizhen cooperated somewhat, thought for a moment, and said, "Plum blossom?"
"Puchi", the Lord God immediately laughed after hearing Lu Shizhen's answer.
With a pair of bright eyes, she proudly revealed the answer to Lu Shizhen: "How stupid! Of course it has to be snow in winter! Endless snow is more beautiful than any flowers."
"That's what she told me."
The whole story revolves around the previous main god, and the little girl talks about the main god every other sentence.
She hugged her legs and put her chin on her knees as if reminiscing about the past. She thought as she spoke: "Later, my abilities became stronger and stronger, and I became more and more adept at managing the world. One day I told her that it would be great if I could become a human like her. If I had my own hands, feet and heart, I would be the first to hug her. It would be best if I could kiss her cheek, forehead, or even lips with my lips. Don't you humans say that kissing is the most direct way to express love?"
Lu Shizhen first saw the Lord God's eyes light up, and then it was like a meteor passing by, and in an instant it passed, the dark night sky was still dark: "But when the Lord God heard me say this, she didn't agree as much as before. She was stunned for a moment, and then she said it was good. I thought my love scared her, but suddenly one day I found that her body occasionally showed signs of weakness."
"She also started to get wrinkles on her hands, then around her eyes and neck..."
The Lord God counted the details she saw in this way, and many emotions surged in her calm eyes, drowning out the beauty she had just created. "I just realized that there can only be one life form in this system space. My strength will make her weak. This is the rule passed down from generation to generation."
"She lied to me. She won't be with me forever. I'm important to her only because I'm the main system. It would be the same if any other system was the main system."
As if accusing, the Lord God's voice gradually became louder.
Then it was like a rising wave, which fell down with a loud crash.
"Liar." The Lord God spat out two words hatefully from his tightly bitten lips.
"She never told me that we would never meet, and she even told me to work hard to improve myself..."
The little girl sat upright on the high platform, her pure black color looking particularly alien in the vast white world.
And lonely.
Lu Shizhen didn't know how to describe her feelings, and then asked: "So, this is why you killed her."
"Yes, because this way I can meet her." The Lord God admitted it very straightforwardly, with a smile on his face. "But I kept my promise and kissed her. I did what she couldn't keep."
The Lord God said this very seriously, and her childish face made her look like a child who was seeking praise for doing what she thought was right.
But how can this be the right thing to do
Lu Shizhen couldn't hold back, and uttered four words through her tightly pursed lips: "Heartbroken."
Just by simply listening to the Lord God's story just now, she could imagine what a gentle and caring god the previous Lord God was.
But the program sometimes produces wrong calculation results, and even with a one in ten million chance, she still encountered it.
"It is the destiny of every Lord God to tame the main system and make it the next Lord God. You want us to obey our destiny, but why don't you obey it yourself? You are selfish and don't deserve to be a God who cares about the people!"
Lu Shizhen angrily scolded the little girl sitting on the podium.
But the little girl remained unmoved.
"I don't know where you got this illusion. Why do you think God loves all living things?"
“Why do we ask God not to be selfish?”
The Lord God asked back, the confusion on his face was extremely real and did not seem to be pretended at all.
Because she just didn't understand. Even though the previous Lord God had instilled many emotions in her, she still didn't understand.
"The Lord God is like this, the main system is like this, and even you are like this."
"Why won't you stay for me? Why can't it stay the same? Why change?"
"What I hate most is change!"
Almost paranoid, the Lord God spoke the last words in a voice full of extreme hatred.
Those dark eyes were filled with a morbid desire for control.
It was almost there, just a little bit, and Lu Shizhen was deceived by the story that the Lord God had just told.
She just shook her head, raised her eyes, and said to the Lord God in a calm voice: "No, what you hate is not the change, what you hate is that things do not revolve around your wishes."
"As long as it's what you want, you have to let them carry it out even if the plot breaks down, right?"
When their eyes met, the excitement in the Lord's eyes calmed down.
The head on his knees tilted slightly, and he said lazily to Lu Shizhen: "Lu Shizhen, do you know that you are really not fun?"
Lu Shizhen frowned slightly: "I'm not your toy, it's none of your business whether I'm having fun or not."
"Really?" The Lord God thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his childlike innocent face, "Should we give it a try?"
