Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 232 The Scheme of the Main God

"Why?" Juanshan was surprised for a moment. He did feel that the main god's words were hiding something, but he did not expect the master to make such a comment.

Qiu Ci's expression darkened further, and he frowned deeply as he said, "Juan Shan, Blue Star has been separated from this world for tens of thousands of years. Not everyone can maintain their original heart like you. This applies to the human heart as well as to intelligent life."

Just like the Lin Yuan Continent back then, the people there were, to some extent, a race created by Blue Star. But 20,000 years have passed, and who still remembers Blue Star? Especially those in the Immortal Alliance, who, in order to rule the cultivators of the entire continent, directly regard Blue Star as a demon race.

And what about the temple? Did they not know that the psionic machines they took were used to seal chaotic matter? No, they knew! And they probably knew from the beginning that the so-called "artifacts" in the base were meant to protect them, but they still took them to restrain the hosts bound to the system.

They knew perfectly well what they were doing and understood the existence of Earth. They called them gods, but in practice they showed no respect whatsoever for the so-called gods.

Of all the places she's been, the only ones who still remember Blue Star's kindness are Twin Star Academy, or rather, only Juanshan, and perhaps the mainframe from the First Base that has since vanished.

So in her heart, she was wary of everything related to Earth, until the appearance of the Supreme God.

"But those are, after all, creations of the gods..." Juanshan still had a skeptical view of the things created by Blue Star.

Qiu Ci sighed and could only explain in a deep voice, "Juanshan, when do you think the main god became aware of our existence?"

Juanshan paused for a moment, then thought carefully before saying, "It must have been when you disassembled System 949 on the Divine Radiance Continent? Or perhaps when we ascended to the Upper Realm?"

“Yes, there are only these two possibilities.” Qiu Ci nodded and continued, “But it has been several years since I dismantled the system, and you have been in the Upper Realm for quite some time now. Even I have been in the Eastern Immortal Realm for so long. Why did the Main God not look for us before, but summoned us to the Ninth Heaven when we were besieged by two Immortal Venerables?”

"Huh?" Juanshan clearly hadn't thought of these things. "Maybe it's because the Immortal Realm is vast? And didn't its previous summons just get us out of trouble?" They hadn't encountered any danger along the way.

Qiu Ci chuckled and asked, "If it really has been waiting for me all along, and suddenly received my information after waiting for tens of thousands of years, do you think it would normally only appear when I am in danger?"

"This..." Juan Shan's eyes widened. No, it couldn't have happened back then. Because he was a prime example. Wasn't he the one who forcibly awakened back then because he sensed a familiar aura? At that time, he wasn't even sure if it was the Blue Star being returning, but he still forcibly awakened early to gamble on a possibility. He even rushed over there before he could stabilize his cultivation after sensing the opening of the Preaching Tower's base.

"It summoned us to the Ninth Heaven. Rather than helping us out, it was more like it was deliberately doing us a favor," Qiu Ci said in a deep voice. "It wanted me to feel that it was still a creation of Earth, still within our control."

Juanshan was completely shocked, his face filled with disbelief. "How...how could this be?" He still couldn't believe that a creation of the Blue Star's inhabitants would harbor thoughts of rebelling against its master. In fact, when the main god revealed that he was also a creation of Blue Star, he had already regarded it as a system or a psionic machine, and never thought that it could possibly rebel.

"Moreover..." Qiu Ci continued her analysis, "From the moment we entered the temple until we left, although the main god told us a lot of information, upon closer reflection, not a single piece of it was practical or useful."

Juanshan was stunned. Upon reflection, he suddenly realized it was indeed true. Recalling what had just happened, the main god had only given two pieces of information. The first was about the last base, but the Supreme Being was already searching for the base, and had even guessed it was located in the Immortal Realm. As for the second, it possessed the coordinates of the Blue Star race, but it hadn't directly given them to the Supreme Being, so it was essentially just empty talk. Moreover, given the Supreme Being's abilities, as long as they could find the base left behind by Blue Star and gradually improve to the same level as their race, reuniting with them would be only a matter of time.

So, thinking about it this way, the main god really didn't reveal any useful information. Moreover, whether in the lower realm or the celestial realm, this main god didn't seem to have done anything beneficial to them, let alone provided any assistance.

"Master, why do you think it would do this?" Juanshan's face also darkened, and he became even more worried.

“I don’t know either.” Qiu Ci shook her head. “But it must be related to the last base.” The main god did all this just to let her find the last base as soon as possible, right? It seems that at least one of its previous words was true. The last base is in an unknowable place, which is why the main god can’t find it. Or perhaps it’s because it doesn’t have enough authority.

"Will we be in danger on this trip? And have the main god really taken back all those systems?" Juanshan asked worriedly.

"That should be the case." Qiu Ci nodded and said, "If the Supreme God really has something in mind, then it should at least make it look like something." But what exactly is its purpose? Could it be that the last base really holds some great secret, that even an intelligent life form like the Supreme God, which has awakened its own consciousness, wants to enter?

"Oh, right, Lord Xingchen!" Juanshan suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "Is it alright, Lord Xingchen?"

Qiu Ci also thought of the dog system and quickly activated his consciousness, wanting to reactivate it. "Little Yi, turn it on."

This time, the sea of ​​consciousness remained silent for quite a while before a faint dripping sound came. At the same time, a ball of light slowly appeared between the two of them, but this ball of light was obviously much dimmer than before, and the whole ball of light swayed from side to side as if drunk.

[Ding! System activated, dear customer... Zzz... Huh, Master, Master... Zzz... I feel a little dizzy... Zzz...]

Qiu Ci was startled and quickly reached out to catch the ball of light. She knew it might have been interfered with by the main god, but she didn't expect it to be so serious, and it still hadn't recovered even after being so far away. "Damn system, how are you?"

[Buzz buzz buzz... Master, I'm alright! Your thoughtful little system is at your service... Buzz buzz buzz...]

There's an electrical leak, and it's still okay!

"How's your data? Is the interference still ongoing?"

[Interference?] The dog system seemed to suddenly remember something, and the entire ball of light suddenly jumped. [Right, Master, wait for me a moment, I need to run a virus scan! I'll scan, scan, scan...]

As it spoke, it suddenly stopped, and the entire ball of light began to flash various data.

"Dog system? System? Xiao Yi!" Qiu Ci called out several times, but the system did not respond, focusing only on killing the virus.
