"Pupa might report everything to headquarters out of duty at first. But after its memory has been recovered. It took a conscious decision to still report everything to the HQ behind Yunyu's back. That means Pupa believes this is for the best of its beloved Master."
Baishe didn't understand the point that God Han Ye wanted to say, and Han Ye seemed to catch that.
"Well, I'm just saying that Pupa believes that something needs to change or else we will be stuck in this cycle again. Trust me, you don't want to know how long we have been repeating the cycle of death and restart because of the endless quarrel between my wife and me."
Baishe listened attentively. She was still angry toward God Han Ye. But what he said was correct, they needed a way to break this cycle, or they'd be stuck like this forever.
The end of this cycle might be the same, but at least they could get something out of it before restarting everything.
Baishe stared intensely at Master Han Ye and asked, "DO YOU LOVE HIM?"
"Love? Oh, come on. I'm willing to repeat this so we can be together, even for a fleeting second. Do you think love is good enough to describe it?"
"THEN WHY WOULD YOU DO THE SAME THING IF YOU'RE HURT BY MY MASTER?!" Baishe asked again. Based on the memory, Master Han Ye could just… not be evil if he wanted to.
But Han Ye shook his head, "My wife hates me. He wants me to be the evil one, so he'll feel satisfied to kill me in revenge. He dictates me to be evil, even if I don't want to."
"AND IF HE DOESN'T GET WHAT HE WANTS?!"
"Then he will try to use the power I bestowed to him to erase us all because what he experienced— what I did to him back then— was too traumatizing," Han Ye said. "It's initially my fault, and I'm ready to bear the burden of punishment. But I will never allow him to erase us all permanently. I refuse to leave him."
Baishe was saddened because the problem was a lot more complicated than it looked. Master Han was at fault at first, but Master Bai's pettiness and desire for revenge were too strong, making it difficult for them to reconcile.
"I want to be with my wife as well. I also feel guilty because we can't properly raise our son. He grew up alone with all his power," Han Ye said. He lamented upon everything that had happened... "But fate is a cruel mistress."
**
[One mortal year later.]
Han Shun was still trying to get to that shiny marble. He did it nonstop and attacked the marble with many techniques to no avail.
That shiny marble was not budging, and he was running out of time.
BOOM!
"ARGH!" Han Shun was thrown away yet again. He crawled and climbed back to a sand dune to better look at the shiny marble.
Han Shun gritted his teeth, trying to get back up and reach it again. But even though he had his breaking point, he needed rest— even though he wasn't supposed to take a rest after knowing that Bai Gege was fucking another man right now.
"Urgh! Han Shun, get it together and reach that thing! GET UP!" Han Shun tried to push himself to the limit, but his body had given up.
Han Shun lay on the sand while staring at the dark sky, with only the shiny marble as the source of light around them.
He was desperate to reach his true power, and now he felt he was already at his limit.
Han Shun lamented his fate, "Why… why can't I reach my Bai Gege? Was it because I've joined the dark side? Or maybe I never had a chance with him in the first place? I don't understand…."
"Bai Gege, I…" Han Shun closed his eyes for a second, and a tear dropped from the edge of his eyes to the floor. "I want to meet you again. I miss you."
…
Han Shun opened his eyes and was petrified because the shiny marble went down and floated right in front of his face. He tried to move his body to catch it, but his body was too exhausted for him to even lift a finger.
Han Shun opened his mouth, wanting to say something to the shiny marble because he sensed there was a conscious being inside the marble.
But the moment he opened his mouth, the shiny marble quickly went inside Han Shun's mouth, finding its own way to enter his throat and getting swallowed.
Han Shun's eyes widened through the process, but he said nothing as the marble entered his body.
Slowly, Han Shun felt his body was being burned from the inside. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, trying to bear the pain.
However, the pain gradually heightened until he couldn't hold it anymore. He opened his eyes and mouth, then screamed at the top of his lung, "ARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Han Shun's eyes turned golden, and thick mist continuously came out of his body until he lost consciousness.
The mist circle around Han Shun's body, checking his condition before it returns to enter Han Shun's body once more.
…
…
…
Han Shun felt that he was floating in an infinite space. He thought he might've died because the pain was too much for him to handle.
Until he heard the voice of a man whispering to his ears;
'Open your eyes, Han Shun. I am here to give you the power that you want.'
Han Shun opened his eyes instantly. He looked around and noticed that he was in a realm with many floating numbers. He continued looking around to find the man who whispered to his ear just now, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? I thought you already knew. After all, you've been trying to touch my soul marble every second.'
