Chapter 991: 15.210: Good Bye, Pupa! Good Bye, Spicy Chicken Yunyu! (End)
"This world will lead to an unknown world that cannot be tracked down, even by Yuzhong," Pupa informed before it nestled into Yunyu's arm. "Are you sure you want to enter?"
"Mhm, I love them both, but I think, rather than facing Han Ye and Yuzhong and facing my sin, I'd prefer to escape. I feel like our ties as a family will continue to hurt us, so let me remember them fondly without ever being by their side."
"I hope it can change something," Yunyu said.
Pupa hesitated because it remembered how Yuzhong loved his Mama so much while growing up.
But in the end, Pupa was created by Master Bai Shijue, and it was meant to accompany Bai Shijue on his journey, no matter the cost.
"Alright, let's enter this unknown world."
Bai Yunyu turned his head toward a God sitting on a floating throne, silently watching everything. He smiled at Han Yuzhong and said in a low voice, knowing that Yuzhong could still hear him.
"Mama loves you, Yuzhong. Thank you for everything, you can forget me now."
Bai Shijue entered the portal leading him to a new, unknown world.
However, Han Ye didn't want to be separated from his wife. He recovered, and his soul dashed and entered the portal before it closed.
"YUNYU! BAI YUNYU— NO, SHIJUE! WIFE! COME BACK WITH ME!" Han Ye continued calling his wife as he followed Yunyu through this wormhole to the new world.
Bai Yunyu looked over his shoulder and was shocked when he saw Han Ye desperately chasing him.
"Pupa, Han Ye is trying to follow us," Yunyu said.
"Really?" Pupa peeked over Yunyu's shoulder and sighed, "Fine, let me handle him. Follow this path first, and you will eventually reach the new world. I will follow you later."
"Are you sure?" Yunyu was worried. "You said nobody can track down this world."
"Well, except me, of course. I'm the one who created the portal, of course I can create it again if I want to," Pupa replied.
"… okay then, promise that you will follow me to this new world. I don't want to be left alone," Yunyu pleaded.
"Don't worry, I will always follow you everywhere. I'm your system."
Yunyu's heart was aching with worry. He hugged Pupa as tight as he could before slowly releasing him.
Pupa wiggled out of Yunyu's embrace and said, "Now go. I will follow you later."
Yunyu nodded and dashed through the wormhole into the new unknown world.
Han Ye gritted his teeth when Pupa suddenly appeared in front of him, trying to block his way to reach his way.
"OUT OF THE WAY, PUPA! I NEED TO CATCH MY WIFE!"
"Forgive me, Master Han. But I will never allow you to find him, not when he doesn't want to see you."
Han Ye was pissed off by this system. It was too nosy and unnecessarily powerful. He opened his palm, about to blast the system with a small energy sphere so Pupa would get out of the way, but Pupa activated two codes at the same time;
"Code 414: Portal Break."
"Code 010: Draining Life Shield."
Han Ye panicked when he saw the wormhole start dispersing. Pupa intended to cut the wormhole so neither he nor Pupa could reach Yunyu.
"YUNYU!" Han Ye continued firing dark energy spheres at Pupa mercilessly. He was overcome with panic that he didn't think about controlling his power anymore.
Pupa continued using the Draining Life Shield to protect itself while trying to completely cut the portal between Yunyu and Han Ye.
But Master Han Ye's attacks were so relentless he didn't know that all of his dark spheres had drained Pupa out of its life force.
CRACK! SHATTER!
The moment Pupa had successfully destroyed the portal, it had also been drained out of its life force.
"Ah, I can't go on. Sorry, Spicy Chicken Yunyu, I guess you have to travel to that new world alone."
Pupa's shell cracked, and its body shattered into pieces.
"NO! YUNYU!" Han Ye was lost in the realm of nothingness once more with the shattered pieces of Pupa.
"No, I— I didn't mean this—" Han Ye kneeled as he tried to collect Pupa's pieces. He knew how precious Pupa was to his wife, and he didn't know how to face his wife's wrath once he discovered that Han Ye had accidentally killed Pupa.
Han Yuzhong teleported right after the portal disappeared. He looked down at his father and Pupa's carcass. He sighed, "Father, do you know that Pupa is the only one who has the code to open that portal? We will never be able to find mother without Pupa."
Han Ye looked up at his son with his eyes widened, and mouth gaped, "I—I will never be able to find my wife?"
Han Yuzhong shook his head, "Pupa is our only key. Now that you've destroyed the system…."
Han Ye felt that his soul had been crushed once more. The idea that he would never be able to meet his wife anymore was far more painful than the endless cycle he experienced.
He'd rather get hated by Yunyu as long as he could embrace his wife once every century or so.
"This… I—I really didn't mean this. I didn't know that my power would hurt Pupa this bad until it shattered…." Han Ye looked up at his son desperately and pleaded. He was not like his usual evil God persona. He kneeled and begged, "Y—Yuzhong, Son, you know how to fix Pupa, right? Please fix the system now. I can't live without my wife! This eternal life will be even more painful without meeting him at least once!"
…
Han Yuzhong turned his back, not wanting to look at his father's pathetic self. In his mind, the Original God of Nothingness was a powerful, aloof man who would never beg just because of love.
"I can fix Pupa, but I don't think I will do it, father."
"W—Why not?!"
"Because mother doesn't want to see you," Yuzhong said. "I want to honor my mother's wish."
"No! Please don't say that, Son!" Han Ye started prostrating in front of his own son. He knocked his head three times on Han Yuzhong's ankle. "I'm begging you! As your father, this is my only wish!"
"Please, let me meet with your mother, I— I will do anything that you asked! I can give you all of my power! I will turn into a normal powerless human if that means I can meet my wife once more!"
…
Han Yuzhong sighed. He never knew that rejecting his father could be this difficult.
He thought he could hate his father because it was originally his father's fault.
If he didn't trick mother into bearing Yuzhong and forced him to live together by destroying everything that Bai Shijue had, none of this would happen…
…
Han Yuzhong would never have been born, not that he cared much about himself. Being unable to feel his parents' love was already a curse of his birth that he grew up enduring.
But still, seeing how his father was begging on his feet, desperately asking for Yuzhong's favor so he could meet his wife again…
'I never understand how they could love each other so much,' Yuzhong pondered.
"I can fix Pupa," Han Yuzhong said. "But I want you to promise me something, father…."
