Lin Muci's eyes were slightly moist.
Her heart felt as if it were being tightly clenched, then twisted again and again, tears of bitterness welling up in her eyes.
Her fingertips trembled slightly as she reached up to wipe away her tears, asking,
"So that's why you made me go save him?"
The Main System replied,
"Only you."
"Everyone else would have been eliminated by the insectoid mother nest beforehand. She has no way to deal with you. The person who created me back then, after dealing with the insectoid mother nest, paid with her own sacrifice to buy humanity a sliver of hope."
"She had close contact with the insectoid mother nest back then. She allowed her soul to be tainted with the mother nest's aura, which is why her soul fragments could mask its perception."
"When her soul reincarnated, I found you, and only then could we confront the insectoid mother nest."
"My existence."
"And… you, who possess some of her soul fragments."
"Are both humanity's hope."
"She was too intelligent, calculating everything. She knew the laws of heaven and earth would always leave humanity with an anomaly—she fought against heaven with all her might to preserve that anomaly."
"From the moment of her sacrifice, she had already begun her plan."
"She is… the most selfless human I have ever met."
"While humans were still fighting amongst themselves for their own interests, she had already considered humanity's future."
As the Main System spoke, its tone seemed to change slightly.
A hint of gentleness appeared on its previously expressionless face.
"Humanity is not worth me paying so much."
"I have seen too much of humanity's greed, stupidity, and selfishness—and the more I see, the more despairing my attitude towards humans becomes."
"Humanity is not worth it. But even if humanity isn't worth it, she is. She is worth it… which is why I am willing to continue helping humanity."
Lin Muci hadn't expected to hear such profound secrets; almost all her doubts were now resolved.
The origin of the system.
The reason the system chose her.
And… Ling Qianhe wasn't inherently an evil villain. Rather, it was precisely because he was too powerful that he was forced to bear so much unfair treatment, endure endless suffering, and be crushed by fate.
After a moment of silence, Lin Muci reorganized the information in her mind. Then, she looked up and earnestly asked the person before her.
"Then—how can I help you?"
Her question was spoken very gently.
Upon hearing Lin Muci's question, the Main System fell silent for a while before replying,
"Let's wait a moment."
Lin Muci was somewhat stunned, a little surprised and slow to react.
"Huh?"
"Wait… wait a moment?"
To her surprise, the Main System nodded, giving a definitive answer.
"Yes. Wait a moment."
"Wait for him to grow."
Lin Muci paused slightly, then realized that "him" the Main System referred to was Ling Qianhe. She still had to wait for Ling Qianhe to grow?
"He is too powerful. The insectoid mother nest fears him so much, worrying that once he grows, she won't be able to destroy him, so what awaits him are always storms and tempests."
"Storms and tempests cannot break him."
"His sinews and bones are precisely forged in these violent winds and rains."
Lin Muci pursed her lips and said,
"So, there's nothing I can do right now?"
The Main System pondered, then said,
"No, I brought you here because there is one very important thing I need you to do."
"Didn't you and Ling Qianhe get married in that other world?"
"Bringing you over on your wedding night to help me solve a problem, the little system said it wasn't quite right and disrupted your wedding night."
"The little system said I should compensate you."
Hearing the Main System say this, Lin Muci's face suddenly turned crimson!
"No… no no no."
"There's no need for compensation…"
The Main System looked at the rabbit with confusion.
"She said this is very, very important for you humans, almost the most important matter for your people. Isn't that so?"
"That's why you are in the identity of a female beast here."
"You can unite with him in this world."
Lin Muci blushed slightly.
"It's not urgent anyway… the bridal chamber and candle night."
The system showed a confused expression.
"You really don't need it?"
"In this world, only you can be his match."
"Your compatibility with him is one hundred percent. Besides you, no other female beast will make him fall for them, nor will they elicit any reaction from him."
"You are his fated person in this world, and only you can soothe his power backlash."
The system clearly didn't understand why Lin Muci was being shy and coy.
Lin Muci coughed.
It was mainly because…
Once that guy tasted her, he was simply… simply unrestrained and excessively indulgent.
If she truly became his female beast, she feared she would spend her days and nights in bed.
"Let's focus on the main task first."
"Since it doesn't matter with Ling Qianhe, I can't just stand here and do nothing, can I? Is there anything I can help with?"
The Main System said,
"If you want to help, there is indeed one thing only you can do."
"If the identity of a female beast is utilized well, it is a clever move. You need to represent me and go to the Council. Then, have the Council select the most compatible mate for you."
Lin Muci was a little surprised because she hadn't expected the Main System to ask her to do something like this!
Did the Main System actually want her to go to the Council—and then select the most compatible mate?
"The Council… won't I meet my old acquaintance Yang Lanyan then."
"And with him at the Council, wouldn't that be an unfair advantage?"
Lin Muci was a bit confused.
"What benefit would doing this bring?"
The Main System said,
"The Council's attention is currently focused on how to manipulate me. You go and disrupt them, using your identity as a female beast to attract their attention."
"The Council believes they can find your past life, the original core code left by that Blue Star female scientist, and thus manipulate me."
"But their line of thought is incorrect."
"She knew back then that humans would try to manipulate me, so after creating me, she already destroyed the core code."
"She said that what is more terrifying than cold, hard numbers is always the human heart, their insatiable greed, capable of destroying everything."
"But what I worry about is that the awakened insectoid mother nest will cultivate spokespersons among humans."
"She will awaken the evil in people's hearts and make them kill each other."
"Humans have been implanted with psychological suggestions by her. I don't know who is being manipulated by her; perhaps the entire Council has been corrupted by her."
"You, with your identity as a female beast, enter the Council and investigate this matter."
"By the way, your soul fragments were tainted with the insectoid mother nest's aura back then, so… the opposing party will involuntarily submit to you, unable to harm you, and will even treat you as their king!"
"Coupled with your identity as a female beast, human powerhouses can hardly harm you. You are absolutely safe, and the insectoid mother nest's aura is only lingering deep within your soul. Unless the insectoid mother nest personally arrives, your identity will not be exposed."
Lin Muci listened very attentively and suddenly felt something was not right.
"Then, what if humans misunderstand… and think I'm an insectoid?"
"My fate would be very grim, wouldn't it?"
"This is entirely a risky move!"
Upon hearing Lin Muci's words, the Main System said,
"Humans will not discover it."
"The brilliance of your identity lies here. Humans will only think that a female beast is naturally full of charm."
"To those manipulated by the insectoids, you are their king, the object of their loyalty."
"Make good use of your identity. Perhaps humanity's future truly depends on you."
Lin Muci felt a little nervous.
Such a heavy burden… placed on her shoulders.
The Main System truly didn't worry that she would mess things up. But since that was the case, she could only… try her best!
The little system leaped up and jumped into her arms.
"Host, relax. You saved Ling Qianhe, are you worried you can't save this world?"
Even so… in the little system's words, Ling Qianhe's terrifying value was off the charts. She coughed and muttered softly,
"Saving Ling Qianhe can't be more difficult than saving the world…"
Perhaps she was destined to be a sought-after individual in this world.
However, that jealous guy would probably be driven mad with jealousy again.
