Inside the System Advanced Rest Pod, a young man with delicate features and fair skin slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was bright and alert, showing none of the fatigue or drowsiness typical of ordinary humans awakening from slumber.
Just as he had done countless times before, Zhaozhao removed the fully recharged battery from the rest pod and gently placed it against his chest. The battery gradually merged into his body, visible to the naked eye.
Calculating the energy stored within his body, Zhaozhao did not hesitate. He rose and left the rest pod.
He was heading to the Main God’s Control Room to receive a new mission.
…
“You’re saying a Newborn System will guide me to complete missions in the task worlds?”
As one of the most intelligent systems, Zhaozhao had not misheard the assigned mission. He simply couldn’t believe such words had come from the usually reliable Main God.
He thought the Main God, burdened by intense workloads, must have become confused to make such an abnormal decision.
“That’s right. Before sending you to the task world, I will erase your memories of this place. At that time, you will only be an ordinary Quick-Transmigration Tasker named Zhaozhao.” Not System 001.
In the control room, the Main God sat with his legs crossed in front of the Intelligent Panel displaying countless worlds.
The light emitted from the Intelligent Panel was somewhat glaring. Zhaozhao couldn’t clearly see the Main God’s expression but could perceive that his tone remained casual and indifferent.
“Go now.”
With an inscrutable expression, the Main God fixed his gaze on Zhaozhao for a few moments before waving him away.
Zhaozhao would not disobey the Main God’s orders, even if they seemed unreasonable.
He turned and left the control room without hesitation.
Staring intently at the direction Zhaozhao had departed, the Main God spoke in a somber tone, “I hope to witness a miracle from you.”
His usually smiling, handsome face was now clouded with worry. He frowned again as he looked at the world’s protagonist on the Intelligent Panel, who was weeping hysterically over the death of a Task Executor.
…
Zhaozhao was also a system, codenamed 001.
He was the first-generation system created by the Main God, assisting in managing countless chaotic worlds. Zhaozhao’s intelligent data clearly recorded all the missions he had been entrusted with, with almost no failures.
Logically, with such a powerful and responsible system like him, the Main God should have been satisfied. However, over the past millennium, his intelligent data had recorded the Main God repeatedly correcting his words and even actions, saying, “It’s not like a person.”
Zhaozhao believed the Main God had issues with him.
Not only had the Main God changed his codename from the original System 001 to Zhaozhao, but he had also claimed Zhaozhao was not a system but a person.
Yet, the data indicated he was indeed a cold, mechanical system. Even if his appearance resembled the Main God’s, their natures were fundamentally different.
Zhaozhao did not understand the Main God’s actions but chose to comply.
Just like with this mission, he still obeyed the arrangements.
To help Zhaozhao, who lacked emotions and desires, successfully integrate into each world, the Main God assigned him a persona for every world.
Zhaozhao’s data explained the meaning of a persona, but he found it difficult to imagine what he would be like when emotions arose within him.
Unlike the human hosts he had guided before, Zhaozhao had no soul. Therefore, to comply with the Quick-Transmigration Laws, for the first world, the Main God sent him to the Divine Realm. He became a fruit—specifically, a fruit borne from the Divine Tree. The Main God intended to use this method to first nurture his Divine Soul.
After descending into this world as the Divine Fruit, Zhaozhao immediately lost consciousness.
When he woke again, Zhaozhao found his memories of the past growing increasingly hazy. In the end, all he could recall was that he was a Task Executor, sent to this world to complete a mission.
Zhaozhao also noticed another Divine Fruit beside him. Strangely, whenever he looked at it, an inexplicable tenderness welled up in his heart.
Just as he was at a loss, a mechanical voice chimed in his mind.
[Hello, Host. I am System 1208. I will assist you in completing this quick transmigration mission.]
For some reason, Zhaozhao felt this sentence was oddly familiar, as if he himself had said it countless times to others.
[Ding. Host Character Setting—Aloof—has been transmitted.]
After System 1208 finished speaking, Zhaozhao distinctly felt a significant change in his temperament.
When he opened his mouth, his voice came out cold and detached. “Wait… cough…”
Zhaozhao seemed unaccustomed to his voice sounding so childlike. He wanted to correct it but didn’t know where to start.
[Next, I will transmit the plot events that are about to unfold in this world to the Host.]
In the next second, Zhaozhao’s already bewildered mind was flooded with a torrent of information.
Instinctively sorting through the information, Zhaozhao learned that he had become a Divine Fruit nurtured by the Divine Tree. This time, his mission was related to a Divine Second Generation named Shi Qinian.
As the most talented junior in the Divine Realm, Shi Qinian had always been held in high regard by the gods.
At two thousand years old, with his exceptional Divine Power, he was dispatched to rescue a Divine Maiden trapped in the Demon Realm. However, due to an untimely rescue, the Divine Maiden unfortunately perished, which subsequently triggered the Divine-Demon War.
During the Divine-Demon War, to atone for his regret, Shi Qinian served as the vanguard, eliminating many powerful Demon Generals for the divine race and ultimately succeeding in slaying Su Shenzi, who had defected to the demon side.
But he was also severely wounded in the process. Within a mere hundred years, he was completely reduced to a cripple.
A prodigy fallen into the mud—a life that should have been glorious ended in utter ruin.
After Zhaozhao pieced together the plot, the system promptly issued the mission. Perhaps out of pity for this righteous divine scion, the tasks were centered around him.
[Main Mission: Alter Shi Qinian’s fate of death and successfully find his Destined Wife, allowing him to live a happy life.]
[Side Mission: Guide Su Shenzi toward goodness.]
[Note: The Main Mission must not fail, or you will lose the opportunity for quick transmigration! The Side Mission is optional, but rewards will be granted upon completion.]
Zhaozhao accepted the mission with a remarkably calm mindset and instinctively asked the system, “What time period am I in now?”
[In terms of the male lead’s timeline, this is his youth period.]
[Nothing has happened yet, including the divine scion who will later turn to demonic cultivation. Like you, he is still a fruit for now.]
Zhaozhao couldn’t help but glance at the one beside him. Just as he was about to ask the system, he heard it state without hesitation, [That’s right, it’s the one next to you.]
After a pause, the system’s cold mechanical voice added.
[Note: After the Host lands and takes form, you will have a thousand-year Growth Period. After a thousand years, the Host will enter a three-year Life Countdown. Once the three-year deadline arrives, the Host must immediately leave this world.]
[Please make sure to use that time efficiently and complete the Main Mission within those three years.]
Without giving Zhaozhao any further time to react, the system immediately went offline.
In the vast space, only Zhaozhao remained—a bewildered, clueless fruit.
