God Fall

"Do you know why I built this Tower here?"

"At first, it was because I was bored. A god who wouldn't return to the God Realm had to find something to do. Later, it was because I was curious. I wanted to see whether people in the lower realm could reach me by their own strength. After that, it was because I was unwilling to accept it." His voice carried a trace of bitterness. "The God Realm Committee says only those who obtain a god position can become gods, so I insisted on seeing whether anyone could break that rule, whether anyone could make it to me."

His gaze locked onto Zhou Qiubai.

"You are the first."

Zhou Qiubai did not answer.

Some things needed no words. They both understood.

"Since you chose a road unlike anyone else's, then..." The man sat back down and took something from his sleeve, placing it on the table.

It looked like bamboo slips, and yet not quite like bamboo slips.

Mm~

Classic empty-word literature.

"I'll give this to you. This is what I've learned after guarding the top of the Tower for so many years. You could call it my experience of becoming a god. Just read it like a diary. It's only a line of thought. But you're smarter than me, so you should be able to understand it."

Zhou Qiubai looked at the ball of light on the table and did not reach out.

"Why give it to me?"

The man's voice suddenly grew distant. "Back then, I had only just become a god, and I was full of resentment toward the God Realm's rules. But what could you change? I couldn't answer that question then. Now, I'm giving you the chance to answer it."
