After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

One person, one unified light, floated in the quiet psychic space.

Using the system's built-in timetable, Oswald learned that he had been trapped here for more than four months.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried. Oswald was most at ease with Luna. The little girl had an optimistic spirit, and Luna would never think the worst until she saw his own remains.

People who sleep well tend to be more easygoing...

What truly worries Oswald is Elene, even though he has told her many times in this life that no matter what happens to him, she must prioritize the greater good.

If there hadn't been a time rewind in my previous life, the Northern Territory would certainly have ceased to exist, although the kingdom and the demon race wouldn't have fared much better.

Hopefully, Elene can control herself; Oswald doesn't want to go back into chaos as soon as he arrives.

Under the expectant gazes of the system and Oswald, Chu Guang finally responded after a long pause.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you leave the psionic space. The power to open the spatial passage is in the bone hands of the Goddess of Nature. But it's controlled by the Goddess of Life half the time, and out of control the other half, so I can't do anything about it."

The light dimmed slightly, and the goddess reshaped her body into her favorite form, but after their parting, they both perished, their bodies even being dismembered and controlled...

This is a tomb, and Chu Guang is trapped within it, only able to dissipate the endless years through slumber.

If it weren't for the arrival of another system, she might not have wanted to wake up.

"It seems she can't do anything about you either. However, since the Bone Hand is under her control, you can't use its power to escape the psionic space."

(Logically, you should be able to control the bone hand; aren't you a copy of the goddess's consciousness?)

Oswald carefully considered the possibilities in his mind, and there was no doubt that the First Light could completely control all parts of the Goddess of Nature's body.

"As an undead, didn't you sense it?" Chu Guang sighed and used light to condense an image of a bone hand.

"The goddess's body was immortalized to varying degrees. She tried to comprehend life, but ignored death under the same concept, which is why she was defeated."

Oswald realized that if the goddess of nature didn't give her a body, the goddess of life might really have no way to deal with her.

If the goddess of nature so desired, she could easily transform the world into a terrifying place where even bacteria could not survive.

Therefore, rather than saying that the goddess of life created life after her arrival, it is more accurate to say that the solitary goddess of nature evolved into a beautiful nature and then gave birth to life.

However, in this new world, there is no longer a place for her.

The Goddess of Life, though shameless, only ever said that she created the four races. Uh… so the dragons were created by the Goddess of Nature. No wonder they knew about the system's headquarters and that souls would gather there after death.

They can hide even better than elves, these old fogies.

"The position of gods may have been an empty concept to begin with. The Goddess of Law pieced together the underlying logic of creating the world on her own, but she left the world before the Goddess of Nature was even born."

"The Goddess of Laws abhors stability, the Goddess of Nature craves life, and the Goddess of Life, having been born less than ten thousand years ago, must accept the challenges brought about by the evolution of living beings. From then on, the divine positions will either turn into nothingness at the end, or be replaced by each generation faster than the last."

"System, transmigrator, fate is not a cruel destiny, but something inescapable. The Goddess of Life's escape was a harbinger of her failure. If I'm not mistaken, she attracted you during the last time travel collapse, didn't she?"

A backtracking collapse?

Oswald suddenly wanted to slap himself. He was so focused on going back that he completely forgot that the light in front of him was the living history of the world, and he would be missing out if he didn't seek her out to verify the information.

(What happened during the backtracking collapse?)

"The creatures she created want to break free from her control. Do you know that she wrote a script for the world?"

Chu Guang seemed to have gotten interested and explained to the bewildered Oswald and the system.

"First of all, you need to understand that the Wishing Star is not a prop she created herself, but rather something brought to her by that system."

Upon hearing this, Oswald looked at the system on his shoulder with a very unfriendly gaze.

The system silently bowed its head. "What a generous senior! What a profound senior! Why didn't you leave any records?"

"It and the Goddess of Nature originally planned to hold a dream show every twenty years. They would sit on the judging panel, gather all intelligent life, and select the best dream through a process of choosing what your dream is..."

"Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent."

From the chatter of the replicated consciousness, Oswald and the system can also glimpse the nature goddess's personality; she's probably a fun-loving goddess.

Chu Guang shook the light spots and got back to the main topic.

"The Wishing Star is a forbidden item, and the cost of using it is extremely high. It is something that only gods and systems can afford, let alone ordinary humans."

Oswald paused for a moment, (You mean, a curse?)

"That's right, you're very perceptive, transmigrator. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Every wish granted for free comes at a terrible price, and depending on the magnitude of the wish, there's no bottom line to the price."

"The Goddess of Life has altered the cost mechanism of items, channeling it into a curse, using the powers of life and death to craft her pieces."

"War, death, famine, plague, and souls. She intends to unleash five curses in succession to gain these powers. Therefore, when you encounter these pieces, try to avoid killing the curse incarnations directly. It's best to resolve the issue by paying the price; otherwise, you'll only strengthen the power of the Goddess of Life."

Oswald and the system looked at each other in dismay. If they weren't in spirit form, they would probably be sweating profusely.

The whole "one person, one rule" thing is completely confusing. Speaking of Maria and Lilith, did they actually pay the price...?

Chu Guang, oblivious to their odd behavior, continued to reveal important information.

"Of these five concepts, the first four are new gods she fears being born. That's right, what she fears most is having her power of death stolen. So be careful, she will definitely be very cautious in dealing with the death curse. This is your breakthrough point."

Oswald was heartbroken. He didn't know if he had broken through, but the hero Thorne was definitely going to be sacrificed.

"The soul power that follows is a crucial aid for her to advance to a new level. I suspect that you, the transmigrator, came here to prevent her from obtaining the soul power."

"Her original plan was excellent. If, as this system said, the system died in an incredibly terrible war, then no higher beings would notice that she had obtained such a forbidden item."

"But her script failed. A girl, insightful about fate or just being stubborn, used the Wishing Star to prevent a soul's return while another Wishing Star activated its time-reversal ability."

"So her curse has no cost. If we have to say what the cost is, she will be greeted by a most familiar stranger. That person is you, the time traveler."
