Dashachun continued to complain, oblivious to Zhou Yanxu’s increasingly cold expression. The three incense sticks in front of the Buddha’s head curled up with white smoke, making his brows and eyes look as cold as winter. He clutched the Buddhist beads in his right hand tightly.
In a split second, the beads fell apart, tumbling to the ground with a clattering sound.
Dashachun finally sensed its boss’s emotions.
God has no joy or anger, only a compassionate heart that sympathizes with all beings.
It immediately fell silent, its innate fear of the Lord God preventing it from uttering another word.
It didn’t even have the courage to ask why he was in this world.
After a while, Zhou Yanxu’s lips curled again with a gentle smile.
“She’s not crazy. She’s the little girl I’ve raised with the utmost care for seven years. I’m entrusting her to you, not so that you can’t even stop her from committing crimes. 0168, I don’t mind using a different system to take care of her.”
Even though he couldn’t see Dashachun, he could imagine him kneeling and begging for mercy: [Woo, woo, woo, I’m sorry. Isn’t the mission you were given just to increase the disgust value? The host is determined to leave. Being killed is no different from the death penalty for a criminal offense… I just wanted to do something along the way. Sorry, I won’t dare to do it again next time.]
Zhou Yanxu didn’t want to show up, but he couldn’t watch Jiang Nanshu ruin herself.
He could only attribute it all to his own selfishness.
He’d raised her for so long, heard her call him ‘Brother’ and then ‘Xu Xu’.
Her dependence on him grew day by day.
She cared for her classmates, friends, flowers, plants, cats, and dogs.
She was a good child in the eyes of her teachers and a role model in the eyes of her classmates.
Even though her fate had been changed, Zhou Yanxu felt that as long as she was happy in this life, it didn’t matter where she was.
But when she died, he felt that he had made a mistake.
Before, he didn’t want her to have feelings that she shouldn’t have, so he chose to leave her when she was fifteen years old.
However, the path he’d paved for her and the huge inheritance he’d left behind had become her death warrant.
He simply wanted her to live a carefree life in the future, but the injustice and suffering of the world ultimately overwhelmed her.
The little girl he’d nurtured and cared for was now covered in thorns.
She must have hated him.
Hated him so much because he died right before her eyes, even though he could have escaped.
“Isn’t there a big difference between being killed and the death penalty? She will be condemned by the world and will never be able to get rid of the torment of the word ‘murderer’. This is not what I want to see.” Zhou Yanxu sighed softly.
In truth, Dashachun didn’t understand the Lord God’s thoughts.
He reversed time and space, allowing its host to return to her own world. He then captured the time traveler and forced her to make way for the real Jiang Nanshu.
These actions, though seemingly aimed at cleaning up the mess, actually came at a price far exceeding what it could currently see.
Even God is not omnipotent.
He will eventually disappear from this world.
Sooner or later.
…
Jiang Nanshu didn’t sleep well that night.
She kept dreaming of the past.
All sorts of faces were flashing in front of her, making her want to slap them all to death.
Seeing Zhou Yanxu, this fierce aura vanished.
She was obedient and well-behaved, but Zhou Yanxu still waved goodbye to her and left.
After waking up, Jiang Nanshu felt tears welling up at the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe them clean, and the next second, her phone screen lit up.
It showed Lu Qingyan’s incoming call, 99+.
The message also showed 99+.
Jiang Nanshu suddenly remembered her promise to Lu Qingyan. Feeling dizzy, she didn’t know how to explain it to him, so she simply turned off her phone and ignored it.
Knock, knock—
There was a knock on the door.
Then came Zhou Yanxu’s clear and gentle voice: “Are you awake? You should go down the mountain.”

The author has something to say:
Xu Xu is the Lord God. How many of the cuties had guessed correctly earlier?
Translator: Of course, it’s not me 🙂
I never think that way! So shocked!
Are you also shocked like me?
Even God isn’t omnipotent, but the author is.
So, Author-sama, can you please make Yanxu not disappear? 😭
