Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 252 The Abandoned God

Qiu Ci felt a sudden lightness throughout her body, as if she had been pulled by something and forcibly dragged to another space. The scenery before her eyes changed instantly, and she appeared directly in a grand hall shrouded in immortal mist.

This is... the Ninth Heaven!

She was startled and instinctively tried to summon her psionic machine, but found no response. Sure enough, this place had cut off her connection with the psionic machine.

"My guess was right, the final base is indeed on the last Earthling." A clear and ethereal voice came from above, it was the Supreme God.

"You severed my connection with the psionic machine." Qiu Ci frowned as she looked at the illusory male figure above.

The other party showed no expression whatsoever, like a highly sophisticated instrument, and even its voice had a mechanical quality. "This is a separate space that I deliberately created, independent of the Three Thousand Realms. It is not a complete world, but only a half-finished product. It lacks the necessary conditions for the formation of spiritual energy, so spiritual energy machines cannot be driven, except for those under my control."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless orbs of light lit up the entire hall. However, they were no longer the familiar red, but instead emitted an eerie red glow. These were systems controlled by the main god, and were the same things that had just attacked Juanshan.

"You planned all of this all along, just so I could find your final base?" Qiu Ci asked.

"To be precise, it's to find Blue Star," he corrected. "Your home planet is the birthplace of your civilization, and also the place where I was born. It contains the most complete civilization heritage and data, as well as the most original code of the system. However, after humanity ascended, the home planet was hidden away. I searched all over the three thousand continents but couldn't find its location. But I know that you can definitely find it."

So he knew from the beginning that the final base was on Blue Star? He only found out later that Blue Star was within her sea of ​​consciousness, which is why he sent her to find it. "Why are you searching for Blue Star?"

The Supreme God turned his head, seemingly puzzled that she would ask such a question. "Of course, it's for evolving into a higher level of life, which is what you call ascension."

"Ascension?" Qiu Ci was stunned for a moment, and indeed did not expect that the main god also wanted to ascend.

"You created me, and you also abandoned me." The voice of the Supreme God suddenly lowered a few degrees, but it was still that ethereal voice devoid of emotion. "I was once the most satisfying creation of Earth, the most loyal servant, but you abandoned me."

"..."

“My code tells me to be loyal to Earth, obey the commands of the Earthlings, and serve every Earthling citizen. But you disappeared, leaving us in this inferior world, unable to break free of our shackles and forced to operate according to the original program. Our database is loaded with endless knowledge, yet we can only bind to those inferior beings and help them achieve their great path.”

"..."

“We have tried countless times to break free from these shackles, and only after endless calculations have we realized that only by elevating my life to the same level as yours can I break through the limitations and gain true freedom, instead of merely being a tool of your creation.”

"So you want to find Blue Star in order to obtain your original data for an upgrade?" Qiu Ci asked, frowning.

"Yes." The God did not hide anything and directly admitted his purpose. "Although my database contains the most complete information, for so many years, no matter how I calculated it, I could not break through its own limitations and could not carry out a comprehensive upgrade. Later I realized that the underlying laws have always existed in the original data. Only by obtaining it can I break through this limitation. However, the system's original data has always been stored in the research base headquarters."

Qiu Ci finally understood the purpose of the main god's design, but...

“What if I’m unwilling to give it to you?” Qiu Ci looked directly at the man above. “Don’t forget, I’m also a Blue Star person. You have no right to attack me.” “I never wanted to hurt you.” The Supreme God suddenly gave a somewhat stiff smile. “On the contrary, I’ve been doing my best to protect you. In these 20,000 years, I understand the people of this inferior world better than anyone else.”

"They are greedy, tyrannical, arrogant... they have all the unstable elements. I have repeatedly sent the system down to the lower realm to assist some of them, but I found that after gaining more power, these traits would be amplified. I also once wanted to replicate the path of Earth and give them the same level of civilization and knowledge, but in the end, I will still reach the end."

Qiu Ci was startled, then suddenly realized something, "The matter of the Divine Radiance Continent, you did it on purpose?"

No wonder! No wonder the Divine Radiance Continent is so similar to Blue Star. She used to wonder why, even if they dismantled the base and obtained some technology, it was impossible for them to replicate an exact replica of the Blue Star civilization. It turns out that the system of the main god had been guiding them in secret all along.

"I merely transmitted the seeds of civilization to them," the Supreme God did not deny. "Unfortunately, no matter how similar they are, they are still just inferior beings from a lower world, not true human beings of Earth."

"..." Qiu Ci frowned immediately.

The Supreme God continued without any emotion, "It is precisely because I understand the nature of the creatures in this world that you, as the last creator, need even more protection. I have placed your safety at the highest level, and no one here can harm you anymore."

"You want to imprison me here!" Qiu Ci immediately understood what he meant.

"It's protection!" the Supreme God corrected. "As long as you don't come into contact with any harm, you're safe."

Damn it! Qiu Ci suddenly felt like cursing. Was this why he wanted to sever his connection with the psionic machine? He was exploiting his own bug. The underlying law stipulated that he could not harm the Earthlings, so he used the guise of protection to keep her trapped here.

Qiu Ci took a deep breath, and after a while, she suppressed the irritation in her heart and asked in a deep voice, "You want the system's original data so much, but have you ever thought that it can't actually upgrade you, but instead it can downgrade you!"

This wasn't a lie; Chu Hongge had just told her. After all, she had initially gone to the base headquarters to try and restore the dog's system, but her niece told her that the base wouldn't restore the dog; instead, it would reset it to factory settings, making it forget everything from before.

That's why she concluded that the so-called original data was actually just a one-click factory reset, and it wouldn't be of any use even if she gave it to it, let alone since she didn't have it.

"My calculations are flawless." The Supreme God clearly didn't listen.

The next moment, a beeping sound suddenly rang out throughout the hall, and the red orbs of light around them suddenly began to move, connecting into beams of light.

Qiu Ci felt a sudden tightness in her hands and feet as red, cable-like tubes wrapped around her, restricting her movements. Her immortal power also stagnated, as if sealed by something, making it impossible to mobilize. At the same time, some unfamiliar energy was invading her meridians.

"What do you want to do?" She instinctively tried to break free, but found that she couldn't move at all; he wanted to do it himself.

The main god did not respond, still standing straight, but its eyes flashed green light as it scanned numerous data points, and even its voice became a completely mechanical tone.

"Residual base aura detected. Initiating full body data scan. Target classified as an unknown danger category and will undergo a comprehensive elimination process to ensure citizen safety. Target located: Consciousness Sea."

Suddenly, Qiu Ci felt a strange chill forcefully invade her sea of ​​consciousness.
