Recap
Yan Zhao was the zombie emperor who could control zombies, Chen Ruifeng wanting to use zombies to kill people was simply wishful thinking.
After a burst of miserable howls and greedy swallowing, the world returned to silence. The vast horde of zombies lost their target and dispersed in confusion, four more muddle-headed zombies were added to them.
Rong Yu eliminated the roots, dug out the crystal nuclei as well, and threw them to Yan Zhao to absorb.
Yan Zhao didn’t want to touch this thing that came out of the zombie’s brain, but he was wearing a vest and didn’t dare to reveal his true identity.
The revenge was avenged, but Rong Yu frowned.
The protagonist’s soul lamp didn’t move at all.
___
Let alone being fully lit, Xi Wang’s ever-bright candle didn’t even get a tiny bit brighter.
The death of Chen Ruifeng’s team didn’t have any impact on the Child of Destiny.
It wasn’t the first time Rong Yu had encountered this situation. Back in the day, Wen Yichu was the same, disregarding personal grudges and caring about the world.
This time the Child of Destiny was the hope of mankind, perhaps he also held the same idea.
But he had already handed over the USB drive to the base.
Rong Yu’s brow furrowed slightly.
That USB drive contained important research data, something the Child of Destiny would protect to the death. When he safely delivered the USB drive to the base researchers, the original owner’s ever-bright candle grew a lot, and the flame became much brighter. According to convention, as long as the enemy who harmed the original owner was dealt with, the soul lamp would be fully lit.
But now the soul lamp showed no movement, indicating that the Child of Destiny didn’t care about this.
What other unfulfilled wishes did Xi Wang have?
It couldn’t be that he had to develop the vaccine himself for it to be considered a happy ending, right? If he did this, what was the use of the Child of Destiny? Besides, he knew nothing about scientific research. Delivering the USB drive was already all Rong Yu could do. Could it still be the problem of the zombie disguised as the original owner?
Rong Yu tacitly agreed that the matter belonged to external forces, and the Sun would solve it, but he didn’t know the whole story. If he had to find out the reason to achieve the happy ending, he would have to ask the Sun.
“What’s wrong?” Yan Zhao asked when he saw him frowning.
Rong Yu looked up at him: “You said before that they couldn’t find out what was going on with the zombie disguised as me, why are you so sure? Do you know something?”
Yan Zhao’s eyelids twitched, his expression unchanged: “It’s been a few days, why are you asking about this again?”
Of course, he knew what was going on, but how could he tell Rong Yu?
If he told the truth, then the fact that he was the Main God, the real culprit was Li Jin, he had wronged Rong Yu and even ran to the small world to play a zombie, all of this would be exposed.
Although he had to die sooner or later, Yan Zhao still wanted to die later and try to get as much precious time as possible to get along peacefully with Rong Yu.
“There’s a zombie impersonating me, how can I not care?” Rong Yu’s words contained a faint threat, “If you know something and don’t tell me, we will end all relationships immediately. I don’t keep things that deceive me by my side.”
The vague words Yan Zhao was about to say were instantly swallowed back into his stomach.
He was silent for a moment: “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
_
On the way back, Yan Zhao was suffering mentally, his feet were like a mermaid stepping on the tip of a knife, unable to take a step, but he hoped that this road would be longer.
What to do? Should he tell the truth?
Was his death coming so soon?
While his mind was in turmoil, Yan Zhao still maintained a bit of calmness in his mind, rationally thinking about why Rong Yu suddenly cared about that zombie again.
Clearly, Rong Yu didn’t ask a few days ago…
Right, Rong Yu had a mission.
Yan Zhao had looked up the information of this world and understood that Rong Yu’s actions of handing over the USB drive and eliminating Chen Ruifeng’s team were all to achieve a happy ending. If the mission in the small world was successfully completed, the Divine Envoy would leave the world and let the original Child of Destiny take over.
Rong Yu had just dealt with Chen Ruifeng and his group, but he didn’t get teleported, presumably the mission was not yet completed. He frowned, probably also troubled by this.
Indeed, the USB drive was handed over, the enemy was also killed, it didn’t make sense that the happy ending hadn’t been achieved yet. The original Child of Destiny of the world was not a good-for-nothing, the Divine Envoy only needed to help them get rid of adversity and turn the bad ending into a happy ending, the final happy ending could be achieved by the Child of Destiny himself. The Space-Time Administration only let the Child of Destiny return to the correct fate, not completely replace their lives.
No wonder Rong Yu felt puzzled and asked about the zombie disguised as the Child of Destiny again. From Rong Yu’s perspective, this was the only doubt left.
Yan Zhao knew that the unfinished mission had nothing to do with the zombie Li Jin disguised as.
Li Jin had already died at his hands, even his godhood had been dug out, it was impossible for him to cause trouble again.
Then what was it because of?
For things that Rong Yu didn’t understand, Yan Zhao could use his authority as the Main God to directly inquire in the sea of consciousness.
Ordinary Divine Envoys would only receive part of the world’s plot, not knowing how to achieve a happy ending, and needed to explore slowly on their own. But the Main God could view all the information of the world and get clear conditions for a happy ending.
World No. 5627, Happy Ending Condition: The Child of Destiny makes there be no zombies in the world, the apocalypse completely ends.
Yan Zhao: “…”
The strongest wish of the Child of Destiny in this world was to completely end the apocalypse.
He did it. In the established fate line, Xi Wang developed the vaccine. Countries around the world carried out artificial rainfall, the rainwater was mixed with the potion, and all the infected zombies turned back into humans.
The Child of Destiny developed the vaccine, in the final analysis, it was still because he wanted to end the apocalypse. So the judgment of a happy ending in this world was that all zombies in the world disappeared, not that a vaccine was developed. Although the Child of Destiny developed the vaccine to make the zombies disappear, forming a causal relationship. The law of the world didn’t look at the cause, it only focused on the result.
Under this rigid rule, the tasker had to end the apocalypse to light up the soul lamp of the Child of Destiny.
Even if the Child of Destiny also wanted to immediately take over the research work, if the happy ending condition stipulated by the world was not met, his soul lamp couldn’t be lit. This was no longer something the Child of Destiny could decide, but stipulated by the law of the world.
The Main God was the god who maintained the order of the law, he couldn’t change this rule.
Yan Zhao also frowned.
How difficult it was to develop the vaccine, the Child of Destiny was a crucial part, the information in the USB drive alone was not enough, many difficulties in the subsequent research could only be solved by the Child of Destiny. Xi Wang couldn’t come back, relying on those researchers now, they couldn’t successfully develop the vaccine.
Let Rong Yu develop the vaccine? That was even more absurd.
This path wouldn’t work.
Of course, there were other ways. As long as the zombies disappeared, it didn’t have to be by potion. The Main God only needed to use a little divine power to destroy all the zombies in the world easily. However, the law of the world stipulated that it had to be done by the Child of Destiny, only Rong Yu, who had the identity of the Child of Destiny, could eliminate the zombies worldwide for it to be considered a happy ending, no one else could do it for him.
This wasn’t a problem either. Rong Yu was the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it was not difficult for him to burn all the zombies in the world with a single fire.
But the consequences of this were tragic. In the original plot, the zombies on Earth would be transformed back into humans because of the potion and continue to live peacefully. If Rong Yu burned them with fire, all the zombies would be reduced to ashes, leaving no trace, and would have no chance of survival.
One was salvation and rebirth, the other was destruction and death.
The same happy ending, but the difference was huge.
That was billions of lives, Yan Zhao couldn’t make a decision. He was not a god who regarded all beings as ants, the Sun was benevolent, not ruthless.
But if he directly gave up this mission, the soul lamp of the Child of Destiny would be extinguished, this world would be completely destroyed, and billions of lives would also be annihilated. And not just the 90% zombies, but also the 10% humans, and many other creatures.
How to choose?
Yan Zhao struggled all the way and didn’t even notice when they returned to the apartment. “Seeing that you’ve been thinking all the way, have you figured out how to tell me?” Rong Yu crossed his arms and looked at him leisurely.
Yan Zhao said: “I…”
He hesitated for a moment, his eyes became firm: “Actually, I am…” the Main God.
Rong Yu suddenly kissed him.
Yan Zhao’s firm eyes became unfocused again.
Wait, why did he suddenly kiss him? Weren’t they going to talk about business? He finally mustered up the courage to confess——
“I don’t want to hear it anymore.” Rong Yu gently bit his earlobe, “I want you.”
Yan Zhao was stunned: “Now?”
“Yes.” Rong Yu pulled him towards the bedroom, “Right now.”
…
So how did they end up in bed again?
Yan Zhao’s mind was blank, but his body honestly covered Rong Yu, kissing the young man inch by inch.
They hadn’t done it for a long time. After realizing last time that he was just a friend with benefits in Rong Yu’s eyes, apart from that morning when he tossed and turned with jealousy, he didn’t dare to touch him after that.
Yan Zhao wanted to have a place in Rong Yu’s heart before having intimate physical contact. Otherwise, no matter how passionately they embraced, their hearts would still be cold and distant.
Today, Rong Yu took the initiative to invite him, but Yan Zhao still couldn’t control himself.
He took this as the last indulgence. After this time, he would confess his identity to Rong Yu, after that, Rong Yu would probably hate him and loathe him, they would never have such an intimate time again.
Thinking of this, while his heart ached, his movements became even more intense.
Rong Yu let him do whatever he wanted, looking at him with gentle eyes, Yan Zhao even thought for a moment that Rong Yu loved him.
How was that possible? This was the cynical Demon King who never had true feelings. This appearance that could drive even gods crazy, he didn’t know how many men had seen it.
The one who was going crazy was probably himself. Yan Zhao thought self-deprecatingly.
Rong Yu was indeed his apocalypse.
As soon as he saw this Demon King, he was finished.
With the thought that he had to enjoy this last time, Yan Zhao really tossed Rong Yu around for a long time.
As dusk fell, everything in the room gradually ended. Rong Yu sat on the edge of the bed, slowly dressing himself.
Yan Zhao wanted to help, but before his fingertips touched Rong Yu’s clothes, he heard the man chuckle.
“The breakup sex is over, it’s time to say goodbye, Lord Main God.”
Yan Zhao’s hand froze in midair.
The dull pain in his heart suddenly turned into a sharp stinging pain.
“You know?!” Yan Zhao said incredulously.
“I have known Lord God for many years, how could I not recognize you? Your acting skills are really not very good, you revealed your true identity as soon as you arrived.” Rong Yu put on his pants, turned around and smiled, “A zombie should call me a human, not a mortal.”
“…”
Rong Yu had always been smart, Yan Zhao knew that.
“Then you still…” Yan Zhao couldn’t understand how Rong Yu could pretend to be ignorant and sleep with him when he knew his identity from the beginning… Shouldn’t he hate him?
“Why not?” Rong Yu asked back, “Isn’t Lord God’s body very good-looking?”
Yan Zhao’s expression was complicated: “Do you only have eyes for my skin?”
“Food and sex are human nature, why not?” Rong Yu chuckled, “Didn’t Lord God have a good time with me?”
Yan Zhao whispered: “I am sincere…” I really like you.
“What is sincerity? Can you dig your heart out and let me see it?” Rong Yu was unmoved.
Yan Zhao looked at him for a long while and said, “I’m sorry.”
“It was a fallen envoy who disturbed the world, not you. The zombie pretending to be Xi Wang was also a fallen envoy in disguise. I have killed him. I misunderstood you back then. I’m sorry.”
Rong Yu looked at him: “You owe me more than just an apology.”
