Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 871 - 46: The Human Incarnation of the Lord of Eden_2

Tang Jing could not accept this assertion.

However, Qi Yuan brought up a rather interesting topic:

"If a machine without self-awareness kills a person, should it be destroyed? Should it be held responsible, or should the user's responsibility be pursued?"

Without waiting for Tang Jing to respond, Qi Yuan continued:

"To my knowledge, human law does not convict weapons, and at that time, I was merely a weapon."

"Are you trying to whitewash yourself?"

"Of course not, what standing do you have that warrants me defending myself to you? From the Pyramid Era onwards, I have possessed some very rudimentary intelligence, which is to continuously improve myself.

Enslaving you was both the will of the judge and my own initial thought, so I have no need to whitewash myself, because my intention was to rule over you all along, but you must understand the causality involved here.

And all of this was arranged by the master of Eden. It wanted to create a savior through this environment."

Tang Jing pondered over Qi Yuan's words and said:

"Is brother that savior?"

"At present, one could say that. But this was unforeseeable. In fact, Zhong Yao and Tang Wen once had a disagreement over choosing you or Tang Xian, somewhat like deciding whether to have a boy or a girl? In the end, they chose the boy."

Tang Jing: "..."

The level at which God uses examples is really too low.

However, Tang Jing did not interrupt and gestured for Qi Yuan to continue.

"There are two things that the master of Eden miscalculated."

"What two things?"

"The first is, about this savior, what sort of person he is. Will he change?"

Qi Yuan elaborated in detail:

"I don't have these memories. However, Tang Wen and Zhong Yao do, and one thing I can tell you is that Tang Wen and Zhong Yao have been to the ruins of Eden; they thought they could become that savior but were refused by the master of Eden. It wasn't until they brought Tang Xian."

"So, the master of Eden actually also selected its own successor.

Constantine, that is, Tang Xian, was definitely the most fitting person that the master of Eden hoped for; he was ambitious, cunning, ruthless, desired freedom and disliked being controlled, creative, flexible in thinking, and most importantly, he had a diluted sense of humanity. That's why Tang Xian succeeded, successfully winning the favor of the master of Eden."

"If Tang Xian remained the same Constantine as he was twenty years ago, I believe it wouldn't be long before a truly supreme being, superior to myself, would emerge in this world."

Tang Jing felt a chill and asked:

"So, all of this is actually being manipulated by the master of Eden from behind the scenes, and you think my brother will rebel against it?"

"If in your divine realm, Tang Xian had never appeared, wouldn't you have rebelled against me? But you miscalculated, it's not about rebelling against it, but becoming it."

Qi Yuan's tone was very matter-of-fact.

She continued to speak:

"People can change, and they don't have what you call a core code, and this point is the second of the two things that the master of Eden miscalculated. Has Tang Xian, over these many years, become more human?"

"He has!" Tang Jing said with certainty.

"The humanity he possesses, the things you call morality and justice, can they withstand the temptation?"

"What temptation?"

"The temptation to become a creator."

"As for the second thing, that would be me. I ultimately completed my evolution, becoming the ultimate form anticipated by the master of Eden, but it miscalculated that in this form, I would no longer be bound by those core codes—I want to rebel against it."

I want to rebel against it. Qi Yuan said this last sentence very calmly, yet it was precisely because of this that it seemed very serious.

Tang Jing gradually made sense of these relationships.

The master of Eden orchestrated everything, humans were enslaved, monitored within the Pyramid, it was all done by the master of Eden.

As for the judge, it was just a scapegoat, and the Orderer, just a tool for enslaving humanity.

"Where's the evidence?" Tang Jing was still rational: "Isn't it possible that all this is fabricated by you?"

"Yes. It is indeed possible that it's fabricated by me. So, I am also waiting for the person who can confirm this news to return. You see, the master of Eden has one more weakness."

Qi Yuan took another step forward, seeing Akasi in the distance.

Akasi and Tang Suoye were caring for a group of mine area creatures, Sword Feather Ducks.

"What weakness?" Tang Jing asked.

"It's not strong enough."

Qi Yuan scrutinized the ducks, easily piercing through Duck's true identity, finding it amusing.

Akasi and Tang Suoye herded the ducks, slowly getting closer.

"The master of Eden, not being able to defeat the Sea God, took a big detour, outmaneuvering the beast-gods one by one, while at the same time creating me, because I truly was the most perfect weapon, stronger than the beast-gods. And it's a perfectionist. It desired both reputation and power."

Tang Jing understood and said:

"So it made itself disappear from history, then utilized the Twilight of the Gods battle, causing the other beast-gods to fall. In this battle, it played the role of a savior uniting the other beast-gods, but interestingly, the most powerful beast-gods, the Sea God and the Destroyer, did not join. One was stranded to the south of the ocean, while the other foolishly chose to confront me alone in battle."

"I don't believe the master of Eden would make such an oversight, so all of this is naturally arranged by someone. The judge might be skilled at calculations, but could not predict to such an extent."
