In a pure white space—

A figure floated gently in midair. Gu Cen slowly opened her eyes, confusion flickering in her beautiful gaze.

Beep—

"Life detected."

"Welcome to the Main God System Platform. Our mission is to maintain the balance of all worlds."

"I am System No. 9881, here to assist you with mission-based travel."

"Do you agree to bind with the Main God System?"

"Do you agree to bind with the Main God System?"

"Do you agree to bind with the Main God System?"

The cold, mechanical voice repeated the question three times. Gu Cen remained silent.

A loud alarm blared.

"Host, do you agree to bind with the Main God System? Please respond within 10 seconds or face immediate erasure. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

As the countdown progressed, the pressure in the space intensified.

Gu Cen frowned. This was annoying.

And anything that annoyed her—she destroyed.

She reached into the air. With a ripping sound, the blinding white space collapsed into bottomless darkness.

"Impossible! How did you grab me?!"

The white orb in her hand trembled. Though its voice was still robotic, it now carried panic.

Bang!

Gu Cen crushed it. The white orb shattered into shimmering starlight.

She casually moved her fingers again. The starlight reassembled into a new orb, and the darkness receded, restoring the pure white space.

"Master."

This time, the system's voice was cold but respectful.

Gu Cen had destroyed the original system and recreated it—this one belonged solely to her.

She was awake now. Why not have some fun?

"Master, the Main God System was created by the Supreme Lord God. This system is a derivative support unit," explained her new system.

"The Lord God draws power from countless small worlds. Chosen hosts complete missions to patch world flaws and promote development, earning rewards in return. Simply put, it's like being an employee under a boss."

"Some tasks even allow hosts to steal the protagonist's halo. Whether to assist or destroy the protagonist is up to the host. There are multiple ways to approach a world..."

"Currently, there's a shortage of taskers. The Lord God has ordered mass recruitment. Those who refuse will be erased..."

Before Gu Cen could reply, her new system gave a full rundown.

"Xiao Tongzi, open the reward shop," she ordered.

A holographic mall screen appeared, neatly categorized: weapons, martial arts manuals, pills, formulas, appearance upgrades... From toothbrushes to resurrection items—it had everything.

"The Rewards Shop is available to all hosts. Points earned from missions can be used to redeem items. The more points, the better the rewards."

"But for you, Master, all permissions are unlocked."

Sure enough, Gu Cen could redeem anything. But none of it really mattered to her.
