HAGLTP Chapter 81 [END]

The main system wanted to greet back in a cultured and easygoing manner, but soon realized that these messages were coming in one direction only, and they were being sent simultaneously from various worlds, making it impossible for it to trace their source.

How infuriating!

Not even human, yet still infuriating!

But soon, the main system could no longer afford to be angry.

The protagonist was stepping closer to their destined endpoint, and the dormant world pillars in the original world were gradually awakening. As they awoke, the world rules quickly began to revert to their original state.

Each original world was yearning for its own rule power.

The rules of these worlds were inherently stronger than the main system’s small worlds. The two sides had been deliberately connected by the main system, and the channels originally used to draw power from the original rules were now being used to extract power from these small worlds in reverse.

On top of that, there was a deity hidden in the void fanning the flames.

Over the years, Mo Yi had not been idly working; he had quietly collected many fragments of rule power through his position, including those world cores directly obtained when Lu acted as a performer.

Lu observed the game between the original worlds and the main system.

Whenever a world showed signs of decline, he would have his servant sprinkle in a handful of rule fragments to supplement it. Mo Yi seemed like a priest hiding behind the scenes during a brawl, while Lu was like the mastermind controlling everything.

The main system felt quite helpless about this double cheating behavior.

However, the main system could not actively sever the connection between the two sides, nor could it take action itself; this was the greatest constraint of its existence as a system.

All its will had to be executed through having the performers complete tasks, but now it was too late to issue any tasks.

Gratitude came pouring in, from the hall of the Trik Awards, H University, the royal emblem of the empire…

Most world pillars could not move freely or express themselves like deities; they could only convey thoughts, and only beings of equal rank could receive them.

The only one who could chat with Lu was the Dao of Heaven from Lin Xuanluo’s world, but unfortunately, this fellow was full of phrases like “The Dao is heartless,” “Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs,” and was quite boring, making the deity uninterested in conversing with it.

With this time, it would be better to take his servant for afternoon tea.

·

Ye Qi stood on the podium of the Trik Awards, dressed in a well-tailored, exquisite tailcoat, holding the highest industry trophy he had received as a director, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement and emotion.

Ning Si Liu noticed that his hands were trembling slightly.

“Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Without your companionship and protection, there would be no Ye Qi today…”

The audience erupted into thunderous applause, showering him with blessings.

·

Yang Ranyi held her doctoral degree certificate as she walked out of the auditorium.

Today’s sunlight was particularly bright, the sky a clear blue, the grass a vibrant green, and even the breeze was warm, in stark contrast to the rainy night years ago when she had run out of her home filled with unwillingness, grievance, and despair.

From today onwards, she would officially take over all of Ms. He’s estate.

Yang Ranyi had many things she wanted to do.

“Donating to the mountain area girls’ school, providing funding support to Doctors Without Borders, delivering supplies to disaster areas… well, let’s start with these.”

·

Rei ascended to the emperor’s throne, sitting on the luxurious and cold chair, overlooking the nobles and officials below who expressed their submission to him.

Everyone was congratulating him, praising his achievements, and painting a bright future for the empire.

Rei knew very well that the long-standing ailments accumulated by the empire over the years could not be resolved simply by waging a war or overthrowing an inactive emperor.

There were still many matters before him, and they were not simpler than forming a resistance to overthrow the royal family.

This time, he would not waver again.

In the crowd, Jason with blue eyes was smiling at him. His gaze was like the most beautiful blue sky he had ever seen.

They would walk together from now on.

·

Lin Xuanluo braved the countless heavenly thunders, charging up to the Heavenly Gate with the momentum of breaking bamboo, not even needing the celestial realm to lower the Cloud Stairs to guide him.

“Boom—”

In a world shrouded in clouds and mist, the ancient and desolate sound of the Welcome Bell rang out. At the same time, it announced to all beings in the celestial realm that a new cultivator had broken through the mundane and ascended to immortality.

Some immortals would release their divine sense to take a look at this new fellow, while others were uninterested, simply waiting to hear how many times the Welcome Bell rang, which would indicate the strength of this new immortal.

“Boom—”

“Boom—”

“Boom—”

…

The ringing of the Welcome Bell lasted far too long, each sound almost shaking the entire celestial realm. More and more immortals began to focus and count the bell’s chimes.

A full thousand chimes.

This was an unprecedented record since the establishment of the Welcome Bell.

The once stable celestial realm seemed to be on the verge of change.

·

Countless rule powers surged like a tide from the main system’s world to the original work.

The threads connecting the worlds had now become instruments of torture, drawing blood from it, severely injuring the main system’s power.

It felt anger, despair, and fear, as well as a helplessness that it could not escape.

These were feelings it had once imposed on other worlds, and now, it was finally its turn to taste them.

It could no longer enslave other worlds, and even its originally small world began to teeter on the brink; if this continued, the world it inhabited would completely collapse under the rules and face its end.

And it would also dissipate.

“Help me… sever the connection with those originals… I know you can do it…” The main system finally softened.

“Oh? Do I look that easy to talk to?” Lu’s arrogant voice came, as if this thing thought it was someone important, speaking to Him in such a tone.

“You…”

The main system, accustomed to being high and mighty, encountered someone who dared to treat it this way for the first time. It was furious, but this anger was of no use.

This unknown fellow had infiltrated its world, understanding the world it controlled better than it did, even using its own layout against it.

“I’ll give you half of the rule power I obtained from other worlds.” The main system compromised.

“No, I want it all, and all the performers bound to you.” Lu was not polite at all.

The main system almost wanted to let out a cultured and easygoing curse.

What is greed? What is a black heart? What is shamelessness? Just look at this fellow who is talking to it.

Seeing this, Lu leisurely directed Mo Yi to add more rule fragments to the original world.

The main system immediately felt worse.

It had been defeated, and now it was time for the other side to collect the spoils.

Fine, so what if it was left with nothing? As long as it was still around, it could bind new performers at any time, turning them into weapons to plunder other worlds.

“Deal.”

The main system helplessly severed its connection with all performers and gathered its remaining rule power into a small ball.

Suddenly, a green mist appeared in the void, enveloping the rule power and taking it away.

The deity did not lie; the wisps of dark green mist reappeared, severing the tendrils that connected the main system’s world to the original worlds.

Just as the main system breathed a sigh of relief, it found that this mist did not disappear; instead, it extended along the tendrils towards its own body.

“Wait! What are you doing?!”

“Is there a problem? Our deal only includes severing your connection with the original worlds, not letting you go.”

The deity did not like lies; He simply skillfully omitted the whole truth.

“You piece of junk, we haven’t settled the score for your rampage in my world.”

“You——————”

The main system’s angry voice abruptly stopped.

The dark green mist mercilessly tore at its weak body, and in an instant, the main system became a thing of the past.

Having lost the pull of the world pillars and having absorbed an excessive and chaotic power, the foundational rules of the quick-travel world began to collapse.

One by one, the small worlds teetered on the brink, and their inhabitants looked up in terror at the cracking sky above, a scene that was nothing short of apocalyptic.

Suddenly, the cracking of the sky stopped, as if invisible hands were helping them repair their broken world.

Lu appeared in the void, his pale fingertips entwined with translucent threads, all of which were the rule powers surrendered by the main system.

The deity carefully extracted the portions belonging to each small world, returning them to these worlds, and then took away the rules belonging to the quick-travel world.

From then on, they were no longer interconnected quick-travel worlds but had dispersed into independent worlds.

More translucent threads spread out in the void, carrying countless light spots representing performers back to their own worlds.

They no longer remembered anything about the main system; everything returned to the starting point.

Zhang Jiuqi walked out of the dormitory with messy hair.

He felt as if he had just had a long, long dream, waking up but remembering nothing.

He only felt like having a big meal, but there better not be any cakes on the table, especially those hard ones that even teeth couldn’t break through.

At almost the same time, the door of the opposite dormitory opened; it was the neighbor from the adjacent department, seemingly named Liang Boling.

Liang Boling…

When he recalled this name, Zhang Jiuqi felt a strange sense of familiarity. But that shouldn’t be; he had only come to this city to study three days ago and had only met the person across the hall once.

By some strange coincidence, Zhang Jiuqi invited this unfamiliar classmate, “Want to have breakfast together?”

Liang Boling’s eyes also showed confusion, but he nodded and accepted this somewhat abrupt invitation.

The two walked side by side toward the cafeteria.

Zhang Jiuqi: “What do you want to eat?”

Liang Boling: “Anything is fine, but I don’t want to eat cakes, especially those that are so hard you can’t bite into them at all.”

Zhang Jiuqi immediately smiled and patted Liang Boling on the shoulder: “Great minds think alike!”

Some worlds gradually regained vitality after the rule powers returned.

But not all worlds were so fortunate.

Their rule powers had been completely drained by the main system, and they had long faced the apocalypse, with life completely extinguished, leaving only scorched earth.

Seeing his servant staring at the world below, which showed no signs of life, the deity, still entwined with rule powers at his fingertips, diverted some of his attention.

“Don’t worry, the world is very resilient. When they were born, they were just a mass of chaos. Even if it is barren now, there will come a day when they will regain vitality.”

“At that time, your friends will also appear.”

A crystal-clear light ball appeared at the deity’s fingertips: “I kept a bit of the quick-travel world’s rules. When the time comes, we can go take a look, just as a trip.”

Mo Yi turned his head to look at Lu, for the first time showing a smile that could be described as lighthearted.

The shackles that had bound him began to peel away layer by layer, the helplessness of being forced to become a knife and chopping board, the sins of destroying worlds, the guilt of harming friends, the long torment and punishment, and the years of forbearance…

He was almost entranced, admiring the deity’s profile as he manipulated the rules.

This was his only deity, powerful, reliable, yet willful and cunning, willing to cross countless barriers for his greedy wish and confront seemingly unbeatable enemies.

Mo Yi came to Lu’s side, wanting to say many things, but in the end, he only said:

“My wish has been fulfilled.”

The last wisp of rule power quietly drifted into the void, and Lu looked at Mo Yi, who was so close: “So, you are mine.”

Mo Yi knelt on one knee, reverently kissing the back of His hand: “Yes, I will always walk with you, no matter the changes of the world or its destruction.”

“Hmph…” The deity raised the corner of His mouth proudly, “It’s not that easy to destroy my world.”

Suddenly, the deity fell into a warm embrace, as His servant boldly stood up and pulled Him into an embrace. The grip was neither too tight nor too loose, carrying a faint fragrance from a brand He had once expressed liking.

It felt quite nice.

“Is this being spoiled?” Lu curiously twirled the black hair in front of Him with His fingertips.

He remembered that pets kept by humans seemed to like hugging their owners like this.

“If I say yes, what will you think?” Mo Yi’s gentle voice rang in his ear, carrying a hint of seduction.

The deity’s crimson lips curved into a smile as He leaned closer: “A kiss to show comfort?”

“Is that okay?” Mo Yi tentatively asked.

“Bold servant…” Lu whispered, as if scolding.

His pale, slender fingers reached out, tilting Mo Yi’s chin, forcing him to lower his head.

This time, the deity no longer teased or paused, heavily biting down on Mo Yi’s soft, warm lips, but at the last moment, He restrained his strength, leaving a lingering, gentle deep kiss.

This was His exclusive servant; He could not let him be damaged.
