Chapter 60 Caroline's Flashback
Just as the audience was simultaneously criticizing the star-studded production team, they were also tearfully enjoying the sweet moments and exclaiming how delicious they were.

The anime then switched to a flashback scene featuring Caroline.

'Caroline, it's time for you to study.'

"Yes, Doctor."

In the scene, young Caroline reluctantly puts down the dolphin doll in her hand and gets up to walk towards the doctor.

Seeing Caroline's little gesture, the Doctor thought for a moment and then reached out his hand.

Give it to me.

The doctor's words were calm, but carried an undeniable force.

For Caroline, who was raised at the base since childhood, the doctor's orders were tantamount to imperial decrees.

Therefore, despite her reluctance, Caroline picked up the dolphin doll on the bed and handed it to the doctor.

Upon receiving the dolphin plush toy, the doctor immediately squeezed it hard.

boom!
The adorable dolphin doll was torn to pieces in the doctor's hands.

The cotton filling inside floated in front of Caroline like snowflakes.

After doing all this, the doctor tossed the dolphin plush toy on the ground like trash, saying coldly, "Caroline, as an intelligent machine tool specifically tasked with assisting the will of Heaven, human emotions are the most useless thing in the world to you."

'Because those things will not only become your weaknesses, but will also affect your judgment of reality.'

"So, put away your useless hobbies and emotions, and do your best to fulfill your responsibilities as a tool, understand?"

'Okay, Doctor, I understand.'

Caroline lowered her head, trying hard to hold back her tears from falling.

"Now that you understand, come with me. Don't keep Heaven waiting."

Remember, tools don't need to have their own ideas.

After saying that, the doctor turned and walked outside.

Caroline looked up, and her pair of green electronic cat eyes no longer showed any human emotion.

All that remained was endless calm and indifference.

It was as if Caroline wasn't even human at that moment.

Instead, it is a cold, emotionless machine.

Outside the door, young Tiandao watched the Doctor and Caroline walk out one after the other, his eyes lingering for a moment on the scattered doll fragments on the floor inside the room.

Then, as if he hadn't seen anything, he followed the doctor to the classroom inside the base.

However, halfway through the class, Tiandao suddenly asked Yunmeng for permission to leave get out of class early with a very lame excuse.

If someone else had made this request, Yunmeng, who was giving the lesson, would not only have refused but would have severely punished them.

However, when it was Tiandao who made the request, Yunmeng agreed without hesitation.

After all, geniuses should always have their own privileges.

Surprisingly, after leaving the classroom, Tendou didn't go to the base cafeteria he often frequented, but instead went to Caroline's room.

Looking at the scattered doll fragments on the ground, Tiandao pondered for a moment before turning and leaving a short distance away.

When he returned, he had a needle and thread in his hand, which he had somehow acquired.

Relying on its extraordinary vision through the 'Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye', the Heavenly Dao quickly collected all the doll fragments scattered on the ground.

This even included the tiny cotton wadding scattered throughout the room.

Then, Tiandao took out a needle and thread and clumsily began to sew.

Although it was my first time doing needlework.

However, Tiandao still displayed remarkable talent, and his hand movements became visibly more skilled.

Finally, after a long period of time, Tiandao managed to repair the broken dolphin doll before Caroline's get out of class ended.

Although, due to it being the first attempt, the dolphin doll that Tiandao re-sewed up wasn't as realistic and cute as it was at the beginning.

But no matter what, having something is better than having nothing.

Looking at the dolphin plush toy in his hand, Tiandao chuckled and poked its belly, saying, "Tools? Only the incompetent weak would think of relying on so-called tools. I, Tiandao Siming, have no need for such things."

'Besides.'

Tiandao placed the repaired dolphin doll on Caroline's bed, then got up and walked outside.

"Compared to those boring tools, I still think Caroline is more fun now."

"Heavenly Dao, you're looking for me?"

The doctor looked at the suddenly arriving Tiandao, put down the tablet filled with experimental data, and looked up at Tiandao.

Ignoring all notions of etiquette, Tiandao sat down on the sofa opposite the Doctor without any hesitation, crossed his legs, and said, "Doctor, I think there's something wrong with how you raised Caroline."

'oh? ’

The doctor looked up at Tiandao and asked, "What are your thoughts?" Tiandao lowered his legs and calmly said, "I believe that human emotions have never been a burden to AI; on the contrary, I think they are precisely the key to whether AI can successfully incarnate as a god."

'Why? ’

'because.'

Tendou stood up, his pair of azure eyes staring directly at the Doctor behind the table.

Miracles don't suddenly befall an incompetent tool that only knows how to calculate gains and losses.

'And aren't humans the most adept race at creating miracles in this world?'

'.'

Faced with this statement about the Way of Heaven, the doctor fell into a long silence.

After a moment, the doctor spoke.

"Understood. Then do as you wish. I will no longer interfere with Caroline's upbringing."

'Huh? You agreed so easily?'

Seeing the astonished look on Tiandao's face, the Doctor smiled and said, "Hmm, you agreed so easily."

'Why? ’

Heaven, which has always been the one to answer, has today become the one to ask questions, a rare occurrence.

Faced with this question, the doctor answered without hesitation: "Because rather than creating unnecessary friction between us over this, it's better to do everything according to your wishes."

"After all, to me, a hundred Carolines combined are not as important as you, the Heavenly Fate Master. It's a very simple math problem."

'...'

Tiandao looked at the doctor with a surprised expression, clearly not expecting him to say that.

However, his astonishment did not last long, and he quickly returned to his initial arrogant and fearless demeanor.

Tiandao straightened his back and said coolly, "Doctor, it seems your AI department is indeed frighteningly rational."

The doctor smiled and said, "But reason can't bring miracles, can it?"

That's true.

As Tiandao turned and walked towards the door, he waved to the doctor, whose back was turned.

"Don't worry, Doctor, I will eventually present you with the miracle you desire."

'And that day won't be long before you have to wait.'

After saying that, Tiandao disappeared into the end of the passage outside the door, right before the doctor's calm eyes.

After leaving the doctor's studio, Tendou went straight to Caroline's room.

He leaned against the threshold, a smile on his face as he looked at Caroline, who stood there in the room holding a dolphin doll, looking dazed.

Sensing the arrival of the Heavenly Dao, Caroline raised her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you do this?"

Tiandao nodded, then said casually, "Well, I was just bored and thought I'd practice my needlework. Don't worry about it."

"Also, I've convinced that old stubborn professor. He promised me he won't interfere with your hobbies anymore, so you can keep the doll without worry."

As he spoke, Tiandao walked into the room, casually found a sofa, lay down, and shook his head, saying, "Actually, if you ask me, that old geezer, the Doctor, is just a stubborn fool. Who am I, Tiandao Siming? I am the pinnacle of the Star Pyramid, the solution to the Ember Equation."

'If a genius like me, a once-in-a-millennium talent, couldn't function without so-called tools, then I shouldn't call myself the pinnacle of the stars; I might as well just find a wall and kill myself.'

"So, Caroline, I think you're more fun as a person than as a tool."

"And if you ever encounter something like this that you can't solve on your own again, don't hesitate to come to me."

'After all, whether in the past, present, or future, I, the God of Destiny, need not rely on anyone, nor will I rely on anyone.'

"At the same time, I don't mind letting others lean on me occasionally; after all, showing appropriate kindness to the weak is an essential quality of a strong person."

'Not to mention we're the best partners.'

The way of Heaven is arrogant and unreliable.

But Caroline knew that this half-joking, half-serious tone was his unique way of comforting people.

Because even though Heaven seems to act as it pleases and doesn't seem to care about anyone, it's still a powerful force.

But in reality, he is more sensitive and gentle than anyone else.

Thinking of this, Caroline's eyes gradually filled with tears, and she said in a clearly choked voice, "Thank you, Tiandao, thank you so much."

"Oh, um, Caroline, don't cry, why are you crying?"

Seeing Caroline suddenly laughing and crying, Tiandao panicked instantly.

No, I was just trying to look cool, Caroline, why are you being so sentimental?
I'm really bad at comforting girls!
At this point, Caroline's flashback scene was completely frozen at the moment when Tiandao was frantically comforting her.

Through this flashback, the audience finally understood why Caroline was always inseparable from the Heavenly Dao.

It's because those two are the best duo among all the stars!
