【Ding! Plot completed, the world is about to close.】
With the system’s voice, the entire world slowly began to collapse.
At first, it was just a series of golden dots, falling from the sky like sand in an hourglass.
Lu Mo extended his hand, and the golden dots accumulated in his palm, then slid along the edge of his hand and fell down.
He looked up and witnessed a miraculous scene.
In the clear blue sky, a broken opening appeared, and golden light kept descending from its edges.
As the golden light fell, the black hole rapidly expanded, devouring the sky.
It was as if the world made of gravel would disappear with a gust of wind.
【Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining a large amount of scum value in this raid. It will be exchanged for the currency of this world~】
The system’s voice sounded dreamy and sweet, reminding Lu Mo of the pink balloons floating in the sky during a celebration.
A cheerful background music played, and the piano sounded like galloping hooves, echoing in Lu Mo’s mind.
He stood in the pile of golden sand inside a small glass room, about to be engulfed by the golden sand.
Through the glass door, Lu Mo waved to Ling.
“There’s something I’ve never said to you, my beloved female monarch.”
Lu Mo curved his eyes, showing a genuinely gentle smile to Ling for the first time. “I’m so glad to have met you.”
He would never forget this magical experience in his life. He would never forget the beautiful female monarch, who made him feel for the first time that life was not lonely.
The golden light submerged Ling, and Lu Mo felt his feet become light as he sank into darkness.
In the darkness, he drifted with invisible currents.
A soft, touchable sensation came from his wrist. Lu Mo opened his eyes and saw a white, fluffy ball in the darkness. It extended its tiny paw and held his hand.
Lu Mo exclaimed, “System?”
“Hmph, hmph, hmph!”
The white ball swayed its round body triumphantly. “So, you’re amazed by this majestic appearance of mine, aren’t you?! Of course, I allow you to kneel now, without shame or fear, and express your admiration to me freely!”
Lu Mo read the lines: “Indeed, it’s the first time I’ve seen a system like you… which surprised me greatly.”
The system’s fur all over its body fluffed up. “L-look, since you’re so honest, I can take a little less commission and give you an extra… three– no, one percent more!”
Lu Mo burst into laughter. “You’re truly a generous system.”
The system pulled Lu Mo along, and in the boundless darkness, a path gradually appeared. The path consisted of numerous stairs, each like a gem emitting a sparkling white light. Lu Mo landed on one of the steps, and it made a “ding” sound. He looked towards the end of the road, where a beautiful door like a pearl stood.
Silently, they walked along the stairs, step by step, until they arrived at the door.
“Come on, once you pass through this door, you can go home.”
The system lightly nudged Lu Mo with its belly and said sentimentally, “I finally raised you up, sob sob sob. Although you’re always a lazy bum, and in the end, you’re just an A-rank male zerg, I’m truly touched, sob sob sob…”
Lu Mo smiled and rubbed the system’s head with his hand.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Although this system was unreliable, it had at least tried its best to consider Lu Mo during the three years and three months they spent together.

However, in just that moment, the stairs beneath their feet shattered!
Lu Mo widened his eyes and reached out his hand towards the system. As their hands were about to touch, he, along with the shattered stairs, fell down—”System!!”
He was swallowed by the darkness.
The small black eyes of the system became teary. It looked around helplessly, glanced at the disappearing door, and finally stomped its foot. It dived headfirst towards Lu Mo’s direction.
———–
“Haa…ha…”
Lu Mo abruptly opened his eyes, trembling as he covered his heart with his hand.
He thought he was about to fall to somewhere…
Under his feet was the familiar floor, warm sunlight shining upon him, finally allowing his constricted heart to relax, beating powerfully and steadily in his chest.
He was still alive.
In the corner of his vision, something sparkled under the sunlight.
“Lu Mo…”
Ling’s voice pulled Lu Mo back from his thoughts. Lu Mo looked up and widened his eyes after seeing everything in front of him.
The sturdy glass door had been shattered, countless glass shards scattered on the ground, shimmering brightly.
Ling stood before the broken door, both hands unconcernedly supporting himself on the edge of the hole. The sharp glass cut his palms, and his white gloves were soaked in crimson blood.
Then, the blood dripped down from the gloves, tracing the glass and forming a small puddle on the ground.
Ling lowered his head, standing against the backlight.
His shadow elongated, casting over Lu Mo. Lu Mo couldn’t see his expression clearly, but he could tell that Ling was trembling slightly.
“Crack.”
Ling lifted his foot slowly and kicked a corner of the broken glass, entering the small glass room.
Lu Mo subconsciously took a step back.
The hand soaked in blood passed by Lu Mo’s face and pressed against the glass wall behind him.
“Lu Mo…”
Ling’s voice was extremely hoarse, as if a fragile piece of paper that would tear apart with a gentle touch.
Lu Mo instinctively swallowed and said, “I’m not—”
Before he finished speaking, Ling’s tall figure softened, falling into Lu Mo’s arms.
Lu Mo leaned against the wall, and the trembling zerg in his embrace continued to tremble. The heavy scent of blood filled the entire glass room.
The zerg seemed completely devoid of strength, its entire weight pressing against Lu Mo. But even so, it made a desperate effort to bury its face deeper, deeper into Lu Mo’s chest, tightly clinging to him without leaving a gap.
“…”
Lu Mo lowered his gaze, raised his stiff hands, and gently embraced Ling.
“Lu Mo, where are you going?”
Lu Mo’s shirt was dampened, and Ling’s hand tightly gripped a corner of his clothes. Through the gaps in his broken gloves, Lu Mo could see Ling’s knuckles turning white from exertion.
“You said it yourself…”
Ling choked, “You said that I can never escape from your side. I didn’t escape…”
“I did everything you said, I remembered every word, but why… why do you still want to abandon me…”
His hand trembled intensely, slowly raising his head.
His red eyes were filled with tears, and his silver eyelashes were moistened. Ling slightly opened his mouth, gasping for air, crying silently.
Only a cub would cry like this, collapsing to the extreme, frightened to the extreme, losing all the self-control of an adult zerg, unable to even conceal it.
If Lu Mo were to push him away now—no, even if he just looked cold, it would be enough to completely shatter the zerg.
He was like a prisoner awaiting Lu Mo’s judgment.
Lu Mo sighed deeply.
“I really… have no way with you.”
He reached out, holding the back of Ling’s head, pulling him closer. Their noses touched, and Lu Mo softly asked, “What should I do?”
Ling closed his eyes and tried his best to touch Lu Mo’s lips.
“Lu Mo, don’t leave me, I beg you.”
“I’m willing to go anywhere, just don’t drive me away.”
His actions were cautious, fearing Lu Mo’s departure, fearing Lu Mo’s anger. His soft lips trembled incessantly, and the salty, cold tears seeped into Lu Mo’s mouth through the gaps.
Lu Mo once again covered his heart, which had never beat so fast.
He was completely done for, he could never let go of Ling anymore.
If he left, Ling would surely die.
…
This sudden turn of events left all the members of the zerg clan dumbfounded.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. One second Ling had just defeated Hui Yu, and everyone was cheering for him. The next second, Ling’s face turned pale, and he flew towards the male zerg viewing platform with his wings spread wide.
He went mad and shattered the glass – my God, that was specially made glass, even with explosives, it might not be able to break!
Could it be that something happened to the male zerg?
But the fact was completely different. The male zerg stood there unharmed, showing that it was just Ling acting out of his mind.
This is… too much!
Usually it would be fine, but in the selection competition of the Divine Grace Ceremony, he actually showed such contempt for the competition and left the arena directly? Is this the style of the Third Legion Commander?
Disregarding the most important moral values of the zerg clan, easily giving up the grace that other zergs eagerly anticipated, all for the sake of getting intimate with the male zerg?
Even if it’s love-struck, it’s still so infuriating!
For a moment, all the zergs in the audience lowered their heads, whispering to each other.
And of course, this competition was also live-streamed online, and the barrage in the live chat was quite explicit.
“[I’m speechless, this love-struck fool is so disgusting.]”
“[I’m getting angry, did they read too many brainless novels on the forum? Where’s their intelligence?]”
“[Lu Mo is even more problematic. I guess he gave some order to the Legion Commander; otherwise, how could he act so unusually?]”
“[This pair is a bunch of idiots! It makes me so angry! I’m a fan of their careers, and their actions are making me want to vomit the dinner I had last night!]”
…
At the same time, Lu Mo heard the voice of the system constantly ringing in his mind–
[Ding, received condemnation from tens of thousands of zergs, 1,000 scum value added!]
[Ding, went against the expectations of the zerg clan, 10,000 scum value added!]
[Ding, achieved the ‘Anger’ achievement, an additional 10,000 scum value!]
[Ding, scum level breakthrough! About to reach S-level male zerg!]
Huh?
Wait–
But it was already too late.
A gust of wind rose beneath his feet, Lu Mo’s black hair fluttered in the air, and faint white light intertwined from under his feet, rapidly weaving a white eggshell that was about to envelop him.
Lu Mo smiled wryly, helplessly, as he looked at Ling’s astonished gaze.
“Ah, I knew it would be like this.”
He reached out and lightly touched Ling’s lips, saying, “I’ll be back soon.”
The eggshell finally completely enveloped him.
The whole venue fell into silence, everyone’s eyes wide open, fixedly staring at that white eggshell.
Will… will it succeed?!
Author’s Note: Ling, a female zerg so sharp that even the system is afraid.
This is so chaotic situation that I’m still dumbfounded O.o
Thank You for the new chapter (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Oh my god Linggggg😭
Wait, I thought Lu Mo was in the system’s world? If so, how could Ling went through that world?
my theory is that because they formed that bond, their souls were genuinely connected? Or that since Lu Mo hadn’t properly left the world yet, ling was able to pull him back in due to his mental strength?
I think both of your theories can be combined.
Re-reading it and shit, I remember how much I love the scene, reading it again just and me appreciate it even more. THE CHILLS THAT IT GIVES YOU, fuck, how Ling shatters space itself to get to Lu Mo
That’s unhinged and so angsty, I’M SCREAMING, CRYING AND KICKING THE AIR
THE DEFINITION OF “I’D SACRIFICE THE ENTIRE WORLD FOR YOU”
Aww poor ling. I am glad that Lu mo is staying 🙌
