We drank and chatted at the same time.
I wanted to pry more information about Xiao Jingfeng out of him, but he seemed reluctant to speak of it. Whenever Xiao Jingfeng was mentioned, he looked terrified. It seemed Xiao Jingfeng had truly left a huge psychological shadow over him.
He even advised me not to mention Xiao Jingfeng again. He was afraid the walls had ears. He was somewhat paranoid, believing there was a good chance Xiao Jingfeng could hear our conversation.
I laughed at how overly cautious he was. No matter how formidable Xiao Jingfeng was, he could not possibly be everywhere at once. He retorted, "When we nearly came to blows earlier, he spoke up. I'd wager he wasn't even at the scene, perhaps not even in the same time and space as us. Do you still think he isn't everywhere? He's practically omniscient and omnipotent."
His words wiped the smile from my face as well.
It was not as though I had never encountered an omniscient, omnipotent existence before. That was the system. In this world—no, in many worlds—the system was like a god. It seemed to look down upon all living beings, freely controlling everyone's fate and even creating the life forms it desired. The system had once said that it too had been created by someone, and that person was Xiao Jingfeng.
A cold sweat broke out across my body at the thought. Xiao Jingfeng had created the system, so he could certainly make use of the system's God's Perspective. In that case, the one truly looking down upon all living beings was not the system, but Xiao Jingfeng. He could know of even the slightest disturbance in this world. Overhearing our conversation was nothing at all.
By that logic, he was the system's master.
