Inside the room, Ji Mo, as if by magic, pulled out all sorts of snacks and dairy products, piled them on the bed, and gestured to Chen Zhuzhu with his chin, indicating that she could take whatever she wanted.

"Space...ring?"

Chen Zhuzhu's eyes lit up as she glanced at Ji Mo's well-defined fingers. Sure enough, a silver ring was worn on his fair index finger.

Her gaze wandered, her heart stirring with desire, yet she dared not use her abilities to investigate.

The fear of suddenly losing consciousness still lingered in her mind. Although Ji Mo had never explicitly stated his level, Chen Zhuzhu implicitly acknowledged that he was not someone to be probed at will.

She didn't even dare to glance at the personal items he wore.

"Yes, it's part of the work equipment; even probationary employees have it." Ji Mo looked at Chen Zhuzhu, whose complexion had improved considerably, and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you need to rest a little longer?"

"It's alright now." Chen Zhuzhu bent her arm and patted her arm, which had no muscle definition.

Ji Mo wasn't in a hurry. He waited another ten minutes or so to make sure she didn't have any other aftereffects before getting up. "Let's go to the next location."

For some reason, after waking up from her coma, Chen Zhuzhu felt much better. Even though she still had the feeling of being watched from time to time, it no longer aroused her fear, and an unnamed confidence filled her chest.

Ji Mo, who was leading the way, stopped and looked back at Chen Zhuzhu. Although he was weak in elemental affinity, he was exceptionally sensitive to the gaze and hostility of others in exchange, and naturally noticed the change in Chen Zhuzhu's emotions.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Would you like to check your own data panel?"

"Huh? My control panel?"

"Never tried looking at other people's information?"

"I've tried it, but wait..."

Only the personal panel that Chen Zhuzhu could see appeared in mid-air.

Name: Chen Zhuzhu

[Level: 2]

[Ability: Observer]

[Skills: None]

[Status: Critical Peak (Benefits from a breakthrough in cultivation level. During this state, the individual's mental and physical strength increase, and they are in a state of slight euphoria)]

[Personal Information: Local resident of Huacheng, both parents alive, a newlywed at Chaofan.]

"I leveled up?! It was that easy?" The surprise came too suddenly, leaving Chen Zhuzhu dizzy. She even doubted whether she was the protagonist of this world. Otherwise, how could she awaken a rare ability on her first dungeon and be rescued by a mysterious organization, leveling up as easily as eating and drinking?

Ji Mo chuckled and offered his congratulations. He could roughly guess what Chen Zhuzhu was thinking, so he decided not to dampen her spirits now and let her enjoy the protagonist's perspective for a while.

Once Chen Zhuzhu works for a period of time, it will become clear that this phenomenon is not unique to her.

In the mortal realm, the one thing that's never lacking is the protagonist's destiny.

The breakthrough filled Chen Zhuzhu with joy, and she walked with a spring in her step, her courage growing considerably. She took the initiative to ask, "Speaking of which, Ji Mo, why did you join Sanchuan? Was it because of Miss Jiu?"

Although Ji Mo was easy to talk to and said that Jiu Chonglou had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Chen Zhuzhu did not dare to treat Jiu Chonglou in the same way and still addressed him with a respectful title.

She hasn't been reading novels for nothing all these years; she's figured out the patterns.

A qualified team needs wolves that are good at fighting, eagles with foresight, and tigers that can guard the mountains.

As a "pig teammate," the best way to survive is to figure out the preferences of these three types of people, avoid their triggers, and maximize your obedience.

Chen Zhuzhu does not believe that being obedient is a bad habit.

Similarly, she wasn't emotionally naive; she could tell that Jiu Chonglou and Ji Mo had a close relationship and were likely old acquaintances. If it was an invitation from an acquaintance, joining Sanchuan would be a natural progression.

"I'll answer that question at our next destination."

As a tall building drew near, unlike the purely utilitarian style of the buildings along the way, it was a palace made of steel. Its form reminded Chen Zhuzhu of a religious temple, and the walls were painted with patterns that she could not understand but could vaguely guess had symbolic meaning.

The nearby patrolling puppets all automatically avoided this place, whether out of a desire to avoid suspicion or out of fear, it was unclear.

"temple?"

"To be precise, it's a temple."

The moment she entered the temple, Chen Zhuzhu's previously excited emotions immediately calmed down. She suddenly realized that her previous overreaction was too childish, and she couldn't bring that childishness here; it would be disrespectful.

The temple is magnificent from the outside, but its interior is even more labyrinthine. One by one, lamps illuminate the walls, filling the passageways with light.

Chen Zhuzhu noticed that the murals on the wall were no longer various religious images, but rather eyes of all sizes, distributed throughout the wall, as if spying on them.

Deep within the temple, a tall statue stands in the center of the room.

The statue is humanoid, standing barefoot, wearing a cloak with feathers adorning the brim of the hood. Its head is slightly bowed, and the shadow cast by the cloak perfectly obscures its face, creating an air of natural mystery.

With just one glance, Chen Zhuzhu felt an urge to worship him.

"This is one of the existing deities in the Three Rivers region, and also the deity who guards and protects the mortal realm, the Primordial Heavenly Lord."

Ji Mo gazed up at the enormous and extraordinary statue, seemingly completely oblivious to the oppressive aura emanating from it, displaying a nonchalant attitude akin to a tour guide introducing a tourist attraction:

"Of course, there are other names in other worlds, such as the God of Reversing Time and the God of a Thousand Eyes. In short, when referring to a living god related to time, it is generally referring to Him."

"Besides, the island also has other temples, representing corresponding gods, such as Wangshu Tianjun, who records and symbolizes the moon, and Shangxiao Cuiyue Xuanji Dijun, who slayed many mad gods. However, only He resides permanently in the mortal realm."

"As for your previous question, my reason for joining Sanchuan was to kill God."

"Kill...God?" Chen Zhuzhu repeated, finding the answer unbelievable.

Chen Zhuzhu initially thought that she could level up simply by looking in a mirror, and that the path to transcendence wasn't as difficult as she had imagined. However, once she was in the temple, an invisible force continuously cleansed her mind and body, washing away her arrogance. She suddenly realized that the gap between low and high levels was probably greater than the gap between humans and microorganisms, so great that even thinking about how to resist was meaningless.

"Let me think about how to explain... Here's what I'll do, I'll restrain my power, you can just use your ability to see my condition directly."

Guided by Ji Mowen's gentle gaze, Chen Zhuzhu used her ability on him.

A new personal panel pops up.

Name: Ji Mo

[Level: 6]

[Ability: *Unrecognized]

[Skill: *Unidentified]

[Status: Demise (curse from the Grim Reaper, the power of death is eroding the body, demise is already inevitable), Reversal (blessing from the Celestial Lord of Beginning, refreshing the body's status to its peak every 24 hours)]

[Personal Information: *Unidentified]

"……grim Reaper?"

"He not only destroyed my dream of continuing to be an ordinary person, but also hindered my growth." Ji Mo closed his eyes, his mind filled with the scene from that day: gray snow, a symbol of death, blanketed the entire city, taking away everyone's warmth, and even his voice turned cold.

"He must die in order to return to the life I originally wanted to live."
