Chapter 986: 15.205
"I think they will, Master!"
"You think? Why so?" Han Yuzhong asked again. He pointed at one scene where his Mama cheated in one world. "It feels like they've been doing this for so long."
While Larva might be too young to understand the whole thing, the system was created by Bai Shijue, who was worshiped in his original world as a God of Prosperity and Purity.
Bai Shijue had a lot of compassion in his heart, so some of that compassion was inherited by Larva.
"It looks like Master Bai Shijue is just too angry at Master Han Ye. But all anger will eventually dissipate, and after anger, there will be regret," Larva said. "Once Master Bai Shijue's anger subsided, he will eventually stop torturing Master Han Ye."
"I see, then I can't wait for that time to finally come," Yuzhong muttered with his eyes still focused on the screen.
**
Bai Shijue had forgotten how long he had been trapped in these worlds with Han Ye. He thought he would never stop torturing his husband to appease the petty grudge in his heart.
But that grudge slowly eroded as time passed, and there was a nail in the coffin after he killed his own disciple, Han Shun.
Han Shun was the host of Han Ye's soul in the fifteenth world. Bai Shijue betrayed him by selling his soul to the demonic sect.
Han Shun gritted his teeth and shouted as hard as he could in front of his beloved Master;
"HAD I KNOW FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU IS THIS PAINFUL, I PREFER TO NEVER KNOW YOU IN MY LIFE, BAI SHIJUE!"
Like a knife stabbed in his heart, Bai Shijue was stunned when Han Shun said that.
He knew Han Ye had no recollection of what they were doing because Han Ye purposely never allowed Han Ye to fall in love too deeply with him, ensuring that Han Ye's soul would never be collected into one.
But he had been torturing Han Ye for so long, Bai Shijue finally realized that his grudge was no more since long ago.
Maybe since the first time Bai Shijue tormented Han Ye, he had let go of his grudge.
In fact, after spending so much time with Han Ye, he realized that Han Ye would always fall in love with him. As much as he tried to deny it, Bai Shijue knew they were meant to be together.
'I think this is enough,' Bai Shijue thought. 'I put him into so much pain. It's not fair anymore. I should've stopped long ago….'
'I will try to piece him back into one and apologize for all the damage that I've done.'
But it was too late…
When Bai Shijue finally pieced his husband's soul together, Han Ye went insane after being subjected to various torture and torment. He didn't even recognize Bai Shijue anymore and tried to attack him.
**
"Husband, it's me! Don't you remember me at all?" Bai Shijue pleaded while he tried to dodge all Han Ye's attacks.
"Grhh! Rargh!" Han Ye continued attacking blindly, like a primitive man engulfed with rage.
No matter how often Bai Shijue tried to wake him up, Han Ye was a goner. He was now a broken man who couldn't even recognize his loved one.
"What have I done…." Bai Shijue's heart was crushed when he realized his mistake. "I did more damage than what he did to me back then. I am the worse monster between us…."
Bai Shijue dodged another attack from his husband and finally hugged Han Ye's body.
"ARGH! RARRGHH!"
Knowing there was nothing he could do to stop Han Ye, Bai Shijue tightened his arm around Han Ye's waist and said, "I'm sorry, Husband. I am the one at fault."
"I should've left once I had the chance. But I can't leave. I love you as much as I hate you."
Bai Shijue took a deep breath, engulfing their bodies with his gentle light, and split Han Ye's soul back to the fifteen worlds.
Now he was back to square one, with Han Ye's soul inside the fifteen worlds.
But he knew that he couldn't do a thing. Because once he collected his husband's soul back, Han Ye would turn feral again.
"What to do? I can't just leave him like this. I don't want to. Han Ye must be suffering inside those worlds…."
Amidst his dilemma, a portal suddenly opened. A man sitting on a throne with a larva lying lazily in his lap appeared from the portal.
The man was so handsome that nobody could rival him in any world. He was similar to Han Ye when he was still an aloof and ruthless God, cold, pale, yet enchanting.
"It's been long, Mother," Han Yuzhong greeted his Mama after so long.
Bai Shijue's jaw dropped when he realized he had gone for so long. Han Yuzhong was now a young adult, probably eighteen years old in human age.
"Y—Yuzhong?"
"Yes, it's been so long. You've finally stopped hurting my father," Yuzhong said. "I thought I would never meet you again."
Bai Shijue snapped his finger, and the throne disappeared. He patted Larva to wake it up, "Larva, wake up, my mother is here."
"Wuu… uh?" Larva's system rebooted, and when it saw Bai Shijue, it got so excited and started circling around Bai Shijue's body. "Whaaa! My original Master! Welcome back, Master Bai!"
Bai Shijue was surprised that Larva grew up to be very childlike. He expected the system to act cold, just like a machine.
But it seemed that Han Yuzhong was colder than Larva.
Bai Shijue looked at his son ashamedly. He knew that he wasn't a good parent for abandoning him.
He stepped forward and lifted his hand to pat Han Yuzhong's head.
He caressed his son's hair and muttered, "I'm sorry, my son. I was blinded by hatred and grudges back then. I won't ask for your forgiveness because I know I deserve to be hated, but…."
Bai Shijue glanced at the fifteen marbles before him and then back at his son, "Your father did nothing wrong to you. He is also my victim, so if you can, please help him…."
