The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

”How should I put it... Qu Fengbai is a genius; he’s the one who developed the drug to kill the Deviants. It spread through water and eventually wiped out all the Deviants. However, he’s quite passionate and extreme in terms of emotions. Zhou Chaoyang, true to her name, is a bright and cheerful young girl with strong leadership and charisma. With her around, Qu Fengbai successfully developed the drug.” Tianmiao reminisced about the two, a smile appearing on his face, ”Although we didn’t spend much time together, I really liked those two.”

”It’s true that our ancestors saved humanity, but now the world has developed into such a twisted, pathological state. This must go against the original intentions of our ancestors. God, haven’t you ever thought about changing or stopping this?” Qu Ruiqing finally asked the question that had been on her mind.

Tianmiao did not immediately answer the question. Instead, he took the tea handed over by Dong Xiao, sipped it slowly, then set the cup down and looked at Qu Ruiqing.

”Do you think that God is omnipotent?” Tianmiao asked.

”Isn’t that the case?” Qu Ruiqing was momentarily stunned, then reflexively asked back.

”Of course not.” Tianmiao gently shook his head, glanced at Qu Liufeng, and said slowly, ”At the very least, God cannot control the human heart. The human heart is the most complex thing.”

Qu Liufeng nodded. Yes, the human heart is the most complex. That’s why he ended up like this.

Qu Ruiqing, upon hearing this, felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.

The human heart...

Indeed, it is the most complex.

”God will not come to change or stop anything. Human reform requires humanity itself. But because of this world’s collapse, I can offer you some help.” Tianmiao continued calmly, ”If a world completely collapses...”

”Then, what will happen?” Qu Liufeng couldn’t help but ask.

”Then it will be reset.” Tianmiao looked at Qu Liufeng, revealing an exquisitely beautiful smile that captivated the soul.

”Reset? Reset means... what I think it means?” Qu Liufeng shuddered involuntarily.

”Yes, exactly what you think. Total annihilation, then starting anew.” Tianmiao smiled.

Qu Ruiqing’s mouth dropped open; her mind went blank. In her imagination, God was merciful, compassionate, and full of love. Yet, such a cruel thing being spoken so casually and emotionlessly by this God was utterly shocking.

”But our world hasn’t collapsed yet, has it?” Qu Liufeng, evidently calmer than Qu Ruiqing, immediately grasped the key point.

”Correct. Only if the whole world were populated like the Empire’s people, would it count as collapsed.” Tianmiao laughed.

That’s impossible! How could a world be entirely filled with such people, wouldn’t that still involve oppression? Qu Ruiqing immediately had this thought in her mind. Then she finally understood, seeing Tianmiao smile, she realized that what this God meant by ”reset” was not as simple and cruel as she had imagined.

”I’m sorry...” Qu Ruiqing apologized; she had misunderstood God.

”Sorry for what?” Tianmiao smiled.

”I, you, I misunderstood...” Qu Ruiqing didn’t know how to express her feelings.

”So, Qu Ruiqing, what is your wish?” Tianmiao retracted his smile and asked softly.

”I want to change this world, to make it better.” Qu Ruiqing declared firmly, without hesitation.

”Then... as you wish.” Tianmiao’s voice became ethereal and elusive, directly touching the human heart.
