Chapter 987: 15.206
Han Yuzhong stared coldly at his mother. His heart quivered. He wanted to hug his mother as he also missed him so much.
But they had been separated so long that his mother never saw him growing up, so it would be weird for them to have a heartfelt family moment.
"Before I help, I want to ask something, mother," Han Yuzhong said. "Do you wish to reunite with father after all this?"
Bai Shijue froze instantly. Facing such a difficult question, Bai Shijue had no idea what he wanted.
"My son, I love your father, I think I've been in love with him ever since I gave birth to you," Bai Shijue replied carefully. "I should've let go of my grudge, but I can't. I'm sorry that I'm no better than a petty bastard."
"So, do you want to return to him?" Han Yuzhong repeated the question.
"… I can't, Yuzhong," Bai Shijue replied. "I'm too ashamed to face him. I can't face him after what I've done to him."
"So, if you can, please help him regain his consciousness, and let him resume his job as a God. I will find my own place to hide."
…
Han Yuzhong clenched his fist. He felt nothing but rage and disappointment toward his mother right now.
But he shouldn't let this strange emotion take control over him. He was a God. He wasn't supposed to feel a thing.
So he nodded, "Alright, I will seal him inside the Empty Realm. He will be chained until he regains his consciousness. But since you're the only one who can enter those fifteen worlds, I want you to be the one doing it, mother."
Han Yuzhong glanced at Larva and said, "You will be partnered with Larva. Larva will be the one who assists you. I've changed some of its settings. Larva is now the Homewrecker System, because it serves to break the hellish cycle you've created."
"To seal my father, you need to do what you did best, make my father fall in love, and betray him to fill his rage meter. He will be sealed once you complete all fifteen worlds."
Bai Shijue nodded and hugged Larva, who was so excited to be with his Master, "Hooray! Let's go, Master Bai!"
Larva set up its system and opened a portal to the first world. Bai Shijue gave his son a last look and patted his head for the last time, "I know it's not my place to say this, but Yuzhong, I'm proud that you've grown to be a good man. I love you, my son."
With that, Bai Shijue entered the portal, leaving the young God alone in this vast emptiness.
Han Yuzhong sighed, "I don't know how to be a good man, mother. I hope you can be here to teach me."
"But I love you, and father as well. I love you both."

Bai Shijue completed all the rage meter worlds with Larva's assistance. After sealing Han Ye into the Empty Realm, he returned to the Modern World, the buffer world he created.
"Master, why are we here?" Larva asked. "Why don't we return to Young Master now that Master Han Ye has been sealed?"
…
"Larva, we should part ways here," Bai Shijue said. "I will stay in this world."
"Stay here? Why?" Larva asked. It looked sad. "But Larva has just reunited with you, Master Bai! I miss you a lot!"
Bai Shijue smiled and patted Larva's head, "Yuzhong already promised me that he will help his father. He doesn't need me anymore."
"I will erase my memory and change my name. I will be born as a baby in this world. I will have no recollection of my true self, but… my love for Han Ye will stay."
"Master Han's soul is in this world too?"
"Yeah, I retrieved some of his soul into this world and created him. I will fall in love and dedicate my life to him, just like how he did the same to me in other worlds."
"But, there is a little twist, Larva."
"What is it, Master?"
"Han Ye in this world will always hate me. His hatred and despise for me will be innate and illogical," Bai Shijue replied. "But that's what I want. I intentionally retrieved his corrupted soul instead of the better one because I want him to hate me. I think this will be my own punishment for all the torment I inflicted to him before."
"So this world will be my new original world," Bai Shijue said. "This world will be the Origin of my Pure love, and his Innate Hatred."
Bai Shijue hugged Larva for the last time and opened a portal for the system, "Good bye, Larva. You're cute, I wish I could spend more time with you."
**
Larva sobbed and dropped its oil as it retold all Master Bai said when it returned to Young Master Yuzhong."
Han Yuzhong sighed and patted Larva's head, "It's fine. It's his choice, I can't do anything about it. But I promised him to save my father, so I will do that instead."
Han Yuzhong visited his father in the Empty Realm. He thought that his father would still be feral like what he showed towards his mother.
But he looked… alright.
He looked like a madman, but he maintained his consciousness, at least.
"Father, do you know me?" Yuzhong asked as he stood in front of his father, who was chained from neck to toe.
Han Ye glared at Yuzhong for a moment and nodded, "Of course I know you, Son."
"That's good, I came here after sealing you because of my mother's request. He wants you to be normal again."
"Normal?" Han Ye scoffed. "After what he did to me, he wants me to be normal? Don't fucking joke."
"He is the one who made me go insane. He should be the one standing in front of me!" Han Ye roared, but Yuzhong didn't even flinch.
"And what would you do if I brought my mother here? Will you forgive him and love him like the way you did back then?"
…
Han Ye was struck by that question. It took him a while to answer, "I don't know. I hate your mother as much as I love him. I don't know what to do if I meet him again."
'So it's the same answer as my mother,' Han Yuzhong thought. 'He hates mother as much as he loves him.'
Han Yuzhong had pretty much expected all of this, so he proposed;
"Father, how about we make a deal."
"What deal?"
"I will create a new cycle between you and mother. I will erase everyone's memory, except for us. Then I will make my mother unknowingly repeat those fifteen worlds to break your chains. Once you're truly free, it's up to you both on whether you two will kill each other or not."
"However, this cycle will never end unless you two have decided to have a truce, or may I say, reconcile as a married couple."
"Reconcile? Me and him? HAH! I don't even think he wants to see me anymore," Han Ye laughed as if he had just heard a ridiculous thing.
"We never know, father. Let's just see what mother will do once you two are reunited, shall we?"
While Han Ye was pessimistic about the outcome, he finally agreed as he still wanted to meet his beloved wife. Han Yuzhong returned to the administration world that he called the headquarters now and started his project by erasing everyone's— except his and his father's— memory.
He also erased Larva's memory as it became the new assistant for Bai Shijue— Now Bai Yunyu.
…
Han Yuzhong watched the endless cycle of Breakmeter over and over, with the same outcome each time.
His father, Han Ye, would go rampant after absorbing his original power, cursing and yelling at his mother, Bai Yunyu.
He said he would destroy everything since he was now in full power, though he never actually did that.
Because Bai Yunyu would always kill Han Ye, and with that the cycle of Breakmeter repeated.
Only Han Ye and Yuzhong knew how long it had been for them to have the same outcome, but Yuzhong never gave up until he grew exhausted from restarting the whole thing countless times.
Eventually, Larva, who had assisted Bai Yunyu, evolved into Pupa. Pupa was stoic, sometimes harsh with its words, but was still sincere in helping Bai Yunyu, just like his days as Larva.
This would be the first time Larva would assist Bai Yunyu as 'Pupa,' and Han Yuzhong had a wish in his heart.
He knew it was stupid for a literal, most powerful God to wish.
But he truly wished that something would change this time…
[Hidden Plot: Origin of Pure Love and Innate Hatred Ends.]
**
Hello, ForeverPupa here.
Sorry for slow update, writing this hidden plot is really emotionally consuming for me. So it took me a while.
But we're done with the hidden plot of the whole story.
I will post world 15's end the start of New Year, and the Epilogue probably in mid January.
This book will end in 1000 chapters (or maybe a little bit more.)
Thank you for reading, and I hope you can stick with me to the end.
