Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 911 - 64: Zhong Yao's Innermost Thoughts

"That's what makes the teacher the most terrifying. It is trying to... become this world itself."

Tang Xian had already understood.

The Eden ruins were real; the Eden sanctuary was the falsehood.

Not just the Eden sanctuary—everything within the sanctuary was false.

Including himself and his mother.

Why did the deer of Eden only sniff at scents but never seek food? Why did the timid deer of Eden show no fear of humans?

Why did the Zuton Sacred Tree madly absorb nutrients in the red soil forest, yet coexist peacefully with countless others here?

Because they had no biological needs. And because everything else here was the same.

Because they were like him, mere consciousnesses detached from physical bodies.

Only now did Tang Xian fully understand why the books his mother read were about such absurd topics—because these events were happening to him in reality.

She was merely

Tang Xian was speechless.

The God of Destruction, so meticulously calculated and arranged by Eden's master, had actually provoked its jealousy?

"The teacher believed—how could a creature transcend levels? The world was already chaotic enough; why would the universe create a species that defies rules? A being with no bottleneck, capable of limitless growth—this, in the teacher's view, was a failure in the world's unconscious creation of life. This world needs a leader. Not one bound by ruling authority, but one with the ability to strategize everything—a being possessing profound wisdom about life and the universe. Only by such governance could the world become more orderly and beautiful."

"Initially, due to the beast gods' immense strength, the teacher didn't consider scheming against them. But with the appearance of the God of Destruction, the teacher realized that everything was wrong. The diversity of life was spiraling out of control, and increasingly powerful monsters were being born. And so, not long after, it created one of its most monumental works—the Eden Embryo."

"What is that?"

"A Golden Finger to grant you the authority of the creator. Simply put, a biological fabrication tool."

Tang Xian immediately thought of an ancient video game called *Spore.*

In its second stage, players could design any creature they wanted, experiencing the privileges of being a creator.

He never expected Eden's master to have truly accomplished this, turning it into reality.

At this thought, Tang Xian suddenly understood the origin of Junlin's birth, and he couldn't help but smile.

Zhong Yao was puzzled:

"What's so amusing about this?"

Tang Xian figured there was no need to hide it:

"Eden's master saw the God of Destruction as an anomaly, a creature that should never have existed in this world. Because the God of Destruction's strength had no limits. So it devised a plan to become the world's creator itself. The amusing part is... Eden's master's Eden Embryo may have inadvertently created another being with a similarly limitless potential."
