After following Si Yu through the door, Gu Xizhou saw the news and realized that Ji Hong and everyone else had come back to life. The past had already been changed.
For those in the outside world, hardly a day had passed. After he died in Tu Yao’s mission, his body blocked a knife for one of the doctors during a medical dispute and he died on the spot.
After going through the gate, Gu Xizhou didn’t go back to find Ji Ji’s parents or look for Fang Zhi. Instead he stayed with Si Yu. Everything seemed so unreal. He didn’t understand why heaven wanted to break the chains on his body. If it wanted to kill Si Yu, shouldn’t it continue to control him?
“Why…” Gu Xizhous suddenly asked curiously after opening his eyes one day and seeing Si Yu lying next to him.
Si Yu watched him with rapt attention and whispered, “You really are the only person who can kill me. Your resurrection spells my end. There is nothing wrong with its plan, but—
“It’s a little mistaken, en, and so am I.”
Gu Xizhou looked at him and buried his head in Si Yu’s chest. His voice was muffled as he asked, “How were you mistaken?”
“I love you.” Si Yu was silent for a moment before speaking again. “You also love me deeply, so its assassination attempt failed.”
Si Yu greedily gathered Gu Xizhou up in his arms, inhaling his scent, but he didn’t say much else. Instead he pressed Gu Xizhou into the bed.
After waiting a few days, Gu Xizhou saw Fu Yiran again.
As someone who knew the past and the future, it was only natural for Fu Yiran to claim the title of ‘spirit.’ Ghosts who threw off their chains were called ‘spirits.’ Heaven had no control over them, but they did draw their power from ‘new heaven.’ Or in other words, from Si Yu.
Running into Fu Yiran surprised Si Yu at first, but he quickly regained his wits. Glancing at Gu Xizhou, Si Yu said, “I need to go buy something.”
Gu Xizhou nodded to Si Yu. Next to him, Fu Yiran’s lips curved into a smile. “It’s the first time I’ve seen him make an expression like that. How interesting. He really was surprised to see me.”

Gu Xizhou, “……”

“So why did you appear now?” Gu Xizhou eyed Fu Yiran dubiously. “If he doesn’t want to see you, you can’t appear.”
Fu Yiran said, “Because you want to see me.”
Gu Xizhou was surprised by Fu Yiran’s answer. Because he wanted to see Fu Yiran, Fu Yiran appeared? But he didn’t have the ability to control fate. Gu Xizhou said, “I can’t control fate.”
Fu Yiran explained bitterly, “You can borrow his power because he loves you. Otherwise it would be impossible to control your life and death in that world with that die alone. He doesn’t want you to die, so you can’t die.”
“But at that time, you borrowed his power. Because he loves you too much, he couldn’t control his own power. When it comes to controlling fate, if you want something, he can only compromise.”
“He doesn’t want to see me, but you want to. That’s why I’m here.” Fu Yiran said with a smile inside the restaurant.
Before entering Tu Yao’s world, God gave him a dream, allowing him to catch Liao Chunhua and deliberately guiding him towards the events of twenty years ago. Because Gu Xizhou cared about what had happened, coupled with the resurrection of Ji Ji’s parents, he was naturally already thinking about returning to twenty years ago.
Tu Yao had already become a spirit, but because of Si Yu, the door to her world couldn’t be opened and no one could enter it.
Naturally, Si Yu didn’t want Gu Xizhou to enter Tu Yao’s world, but in the end Gu Xizhou followed ‘God’s’ script and Si Yu had to let Tu Yao’s door open. Following the script, he should have been resurrected. But ‘God’ made a mistake. Gu Xizhou also loved Si Yu deeply.
So when it came to borrowing Si Yu’s power, Gu Xizhou was stronger. When he made the decision to control fate, Si Yu could only compromise.
Fu Yiran’s lip curled, “Because he likes you too much, the assassination failed.”
“Isn’t that fascinating?”
As for why God didn’t directly resurrect him, that was because of the rules.
At the time, heaven’s rule was ‘dead people can’t come back to life,’ but under Si Yu’s rule people could be resurrected. There was also the existence of spirits.
God exploited Ji Ji’s mission world under Si Yu’s new rules and used a prop to revive him. It plotted the assassination but contrary to all of its expectations, it failed.
From Fi Yiran’s words, Gu Xizhou was able to surmise that the broken chains on his body were not controlling his fate.
For God, continuing to control Gu Xizhou’s fate didn’t make any sense. It was better to let him go. To let him become a ‘spirit’ and be with Si Yu. At least Gu Xizhou didn’t like the bloody future and could prevent Si Yu from making the new rules.
Tu Yao… Gu Xizhou thought of the girl who relied on Si Yu to exist but whose world was the only one who could make him fade away.
Si Yu reminded him, ‘Tu Yao was asking him for forgiveness,’ what was his mood?
After receiving her forgiveness, Tu Yao’s apology before she dissipated wasn’t directed at him, but at Si Yu.
“Ready?” Si Yu walked back over with the water he had just bought, holding coffee in one fair slender hand. Under the sun his raven hair turned slightly red, scattering the light around him like a halo. His dark lashes lifted as he looked at Gu Xizhou with a smile.
Gu Xizhou nodded.
As the two of them were about to leave, Fu Yiran bit his lip. “Hey, Si Yu, if I hadn’t asked him that question before you entered that door, you might be dead now.”
Si Yu looked over at Fu Yiran and said without much thought, “And?”
Fu Yiran, “Can you reverse my bad luck? It’s really too difficult!”
Si Yu, “You originally wanted to kill Gu Xizhou, so you should continue to have bad luck.”
Fu Yiran: “Fuck, is it that bad to die before 2021? You should still behave like a person! Fuck!”
Si Yu pulled Gu Xizhou after him, shouting at Fu Yiran.
Time flew, and before Gu Xizhou knew it, it had already been a year since the chains broke. In the blink of an eye it was 2021. At Gu Xizhou’s request, Si Yu did not replace God, but the mission world still existed and everything remained as it was.
After losing their son, Gu Qing and Zhou Xinyue gradually came out of their grief and they welcomed their second child.
This child looked exactly the same as Ji Ji.
Fang Zhi didn’t know what was going on. Life is like a game of cards. He was known as ‘the lucky Mr. Fang’ who could win ten million just by purchasing a lottery ticket.
Fu Yiran had bad luck every day and saved all the ‘spirits’ who relied on Si Yu, including himself. However he lived a weary existence. Anyone who was targeted by heaven would find it difficult to live well.
Gu Xizhou felt that everything was back on track. At night, he watched the man sleeping beside him. He reached out to touch Si Yu’s sleeping face and the warmth of Si Yu’s skin warmed his fingertips.
Gu Xizhou was about to pull back when Si Yu caught his fingers. With his eyes still closed, he kissed Gu Xizhou’s fingers.
“Why are you looking at me? Love me too much?” Si Yu asked, with the shadow of a smile on his lips as he tilted his head.
“En.” Gu Xizhou nodded.
Si Yu reached out and tousled Gu Xizhou’s soft hair. He kissed Gu Xizhou’s lips and said in a hoarse voice, “Me too.”
Si Yu turned over and pressed Gu Xizhou into the bed.
Gu Xizhou, “…” Again, huh.
Okay, okay, whatever!
(The End)

Is there an extra or something?? I really can’t get over with this end.. noooooooooOooooo the thrill I’m expecting ಥ_ಥ
Huh so GX was hugging his own thigh the whole time lol
Holy shit, you’re right! And it’s figuratively and literaly too!
I legit spat out my water. You’re so right XDD
Ngl, I thought Si Yu was actually Ji Hong and when he about to die he entered a mission world and he able to survive and since he is obsessed to save Gu Xizhou since he failed to save him before so he is trying to resurrect him, and also bc of his obsession of Gu Xizhou he changed his face to looks like him (using a prop or smth since even they can stop aging by doing mission) but turns out it was actually kinda…. selfcested ??
Im not a fan of selfcest so I feel kinda cheated rn 😭
*no hate tho
How’s it selfcest? Aren’t GXZ and Si Yu different people?
Almost forgot to ask,
Since Gu Jiji reported to be dead then what form is Gu Xizhou using rn ? I mean is he back to his original body or still using Gu Jiji’s body ?
If its back to his original body then….. it really is selfcest ? 👁👄👁
Yeah, I forgot that Die is Si Yu
So GXZ’s original appearence is same as Si Yu ? Kinda weird tho 🫢
