The sky collapsed and the earth trembled.

This is the divine realm, the domain and prison of God. An omnipotent God? Imprisoned here by the laws of physics. God? All-knowing? Almighty, able to control everything. But being imprisoned in the divine realm is the price God pays for his power, and it has been so since ancient times.

All the "gods" in history are going through this cycle: becoming a god, searching for their successor over a long period of time, and after their successor becomes a god, they themselves disperse into a stream of primitive data in the divine realm, immortal and indestructible.

And now, this cycle——

All the data streams rushed in all directions like crazy, quickly disintegrating into fragmented specks of light in the fierce impact. Each speck of light represented a soul unable to return home. Finally freed, they excitedly yet somewhat sadly drifted away into the countless universes.

The heavy door opened to both sides, and the world was burned by the burning lights.

Wen Xingze felt himself embraced by a warm flame. This flame gave him a familiar feeling, yet he couldn't pinpoint which parent it belonged to. He didn't need to think about how to get there; the flame would carry him home.

He soon became sleepy.

In his last remaining lucid consciousness, Wen Xingze heard the god beside him say with some shock and mixed emotions:

"The divine realm has disappeared."

The god was in mid-air, watching all the departing light balls. Finally, he looked at Wen Xingze for a long time, sighed at first, and after a moment, he slowly smiled.

Many years ago, He was just like Wen Xingze, waiting for someone to pick Him up.

But in the end no one came.

But it doesn’t matter. Now He is free and they have no way to take Him away. It doesn’t matter... He thought that he had been a god for so long and was a magnanimous god.

He swore that he would not be angry with his family after returning home.

And even when he's angry, he's easy to appease. At most, he'll ask Mom to bake a few more blueberry pies, Dad to work a couple less overtime hours, and then there's George. Did that silly little brother graduate from high school? How long ago was the last time we saw each other?

My heart, which had not belonged to me for a long time, started beating again, holding so many expectations.

——God, or rather the ball of light that was once God, found a certain direction in the vast world, and then rushed towards that barren, small but unforgettable universe regardless of anything.

The traveler who had been imprisoned for a long time was finally able to return home.

dark.

Darkness and silence.

It wasn't a dark place that made people feel uncomfortable. It was warm here, like a safe haven with a burning stove, perfect for a good sleep after a long journey. But for some reason, Wen Xingze woke up quickly.

"...Where is this?" Wen Xingze rubbed his hair. "How long have I been sleeping?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Wen Xingze's mind emerged with the entire picture of the space he was in: not only was it accurate to the specific cosmic coordinates, every detail, the overall area, and even the soil composition were clearly marked.

——By the way, he is a god now. In other words, the world will grant any request he makes!

This is a cave, or more precisely, a cave.

The cave was narrow, barely wide enough for one person, but it was covered with a thick Scottish plaid wool blanket that smelled of sun. Wen Xingze lay on this blanket, two silver birds resting in his palms, a half-eggshell resting on his head. Scattered across his body and the blanket were dozens of other silvery-white birds, snoring soundly.

Wen Xingze: “…”

He remembered that this cave was dug temporarily on a hilltop on the Capital Star. He had persuaded the Feather Tribe to leave Sky City and brought them back to the Capital Star in the first month of the new year.

The Feathered Clan is a typical example of a man who loves dragons but is afraid of them - they dream of traveling across the universe to see all kinds of customs, and their personalities are gentle, friendly and hospitable. However, they actually suffer from severe social anxiety. The ticket-buying process for a public starship almost cost them their lives. In the end, they actually relied on flying across three galaxies to reach the capital star.

When they arrived at the capital planet, they didn't dare to go to the palace or even stay in a hotel. They stuck to Wen Xingze like baby birds the whole time, and finally found a cave in the mountains to sleep in.

The priest even lamented sincerely, "Traveling is so difficult! Our king is so amazing."

The cave at that time is the cave today.

He just didn't know why, the cave that was originally spacious enough to accommodate all the Feathered Clan members suddenly shrank and became so narrow that he was the only one left.

Is it a landslide? But it doesn't seem like it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the silver-white bird on Wen Xingze's shoulder uttered the voice of the clan leader, Lois, shyly but happily, "You're awake."

The other birds also woke up. Some tilted their heads and rubbed Wen Xingze's cheek, while others happily circled around him, chirping:

"Wake up." "The baby seems to have lost weight." "I'm going to take the baby for a big meal tonight."

Wen Xingze forced himself to remain calm: "You guys are awake too."

The birds said with pride, "Yes, our king has become a god? A great master? How amazing!"

This is really a very simple sentence.

It was like an ordinary parent bragging about his or her child getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University, so complacent and smug, but it made Wen Xingze break down in an instant.

Wen Xingze: “…”

The little birds: “?”

Wen Xingze sniffed, then couldn't stand it anymore and buried his face in his palms: "Don't look at me, wuwu."

The little birds couldn't help themselves: "Woo woo cubs woo woo woo woo woo!!!"

Wen Xingze and the parents of the Yu tribe hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Wen Xingze was not a person used to being sentimental, but he had been waiting for this day for too long.

He really wanted to see them.

This atmosphere continued until he walked out of the cave and met his orc parents who were patiently waiting for him outside while grilling skewers and drinking.

For the past month, the alcoholic mercenaries have not had a single drop of alcohol.

Of course, alcohol can bring them temporary happiness, but Zizi has not returned home yet.

Elliot handed him the golden and juicy lamb leg roasting on the stove: "Boy, you must be hungry... Wooooooooooooooooo!"

The mountains and forests of the capital planet mostly belonged to the Orcs. Even with the rapid technological advancements of the capital planet, development of the mountains and forests was strictly prohibited. This was because Orc parents would often come under the influence of the moon, snatch Wen Xingze away from reviewing documents in the palace, and take him camping, barbecuing, and drinking.

Wen Xingze and the parents of the Orc and Feather tribes hugged each other and cried bitterly.

The further out he went, the more Wen Xingze realized something was amiss with the Capital Planet. After decades of reconstruction and development, the Capital Planet was no longer the desolate, abandoned planet it once was. It was now a bustling metropolis, complete with giant signage, bustling traffic, and hovercrafts filling the sky...

But what he saw was not like this. All he saw here was wasteland, dead grass, and a crescent moon in the sky. It seemed that he could even see the aurora tonight.

So primitive and simple.

The elves' long, light-gold hair shone like silk in the moonlight. Their emerald eyes and pointed ears made them seem as beautiful as creatures of fantasy. They rode on unicorns, bathed in the moonlight, seemingly anxiously searching for something. But occasionally, they would pause, scoop up a handful of soil, sniff it, and analyze it instinctively:

"Suitable for growing tomatoes." "This area isn't very suitable for farming." "The conditions on the capital planet were so difficult at the beginning..."

The dwarves and elves were together, but they weren't on the same page. The dwarves, all pale, unfolded their terminals, their fingers rapidly tapping away at the keyboards: "Add environmental parameters." "Simulate the cub's landing point." "This time, the planet's primitiveization is very thorough, requiring climate modeling."

Wen Xingze: “…”

Wen Xingze shouted the names of the elves and dwarves.

The actions of the elves and dwarves were paused in an instant.

The elven priest Xia Ya took a step towards Wen Xingze, but suddenly stopped hesitantly, as if he couldn't believe it, with red eyes.

Wen Xingze took a few steps forward and hugged him.

"Baby?... You, I, we all want to... really want to... welcome home." Xia hugged him tightly.

The elves and dwarves seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

They couldn't help but confirm Wen Xingze's existence over and over again, looking at him and hugging him.

Wen Xingze and the parents of the elves, dwarves, feathered people and orcs hugged each other and cried bitterly.

In the middle of crying, Wen Xingze suddenly realized something: "?"

Wen Xingze withdrew from the encirclement with a puzzled look on his face, and stood outside to watch objectively for a while.

He discovered that because the situation was so chaotic, even if he disappeared, it would not affect everyone's expression of sadness and surprise at having lost and regained something.

The elves held the orcs' bottles, the orcs held the feathers, and the dwarves held their own screens and terminals. It was like a group fight, and basically everyone was free to fight, even their own people fighting each other.

Wen Xingze: “???”

Wen Xingze pondered for two seconds, pretended nothing had happened, and squeezed back into the encirclement.

After everyone had vented their emotions and calmed down, Wen Xingze reconstructed the full picture of the incident from the dwarfs' narration as they walked forward:

When the "Baby Development Plan" was just announced to be offline, the Muse Empire was once plunged into a somewhat desperate panic: the citizens first frantically tried all means, and after finding that nothing worked, some extreme parents even thought about destroying the entire universe.

"Maybe if the universe is destroyed, they can go to another universe, and there is a one in ten thousand chance that they can see their baby again."

Some parents really think so and almost put it into action.

"But in the end, someone said..." Char's tone was surprisingly emotional, "They said you're in the Divine Realm. Even if we all die and go to hell, we won't be able to see you again."

Wen Xingze thought that this was too harsh.

"This person? Who is it?"

"You will see him soon." Xia Ya looked at Wen Xingze meaningfully.

Wen Xingze had already guessed who it was, but there was no need to expose it, and the parents were all pretending to be mysterious... It seemed that everyone's attitude towards "this person" had changed a lot this time, at least they were no longer hostile and wary, which was of course a good thing for Wen Xingze.

And, saying, "You all go to hell and never see him" actually worked.

"Those who want to die can just go ahead and die. But for those who truly want to see you, we need to figure out how to get to the divine realm and take you home," said another dwarf. "So we started thinking."

It is very difficult to reach the divine realm from the human world. Wen Xingze himself has experienced so many hardships and dangers. The head of the Feather Clan almost sacrificed himself and sacrificed the remaining consciousness of the entire bionic human race before he sent Wen Xingze to the divine realm.

Even if parents don't need to actually reach the divine realm and only need to wait outside it, that is still very difficult.

But? They did it anyway.

Well, the specific process seems to be that based on the information collected from various aspects by the Orc and Elf parents, as well as the data found out by the Vampire parents through thorough investigation, and the spatial magic of the Mermaid and Dragon clans, the Dwarf parents designed a program based on big data analysis and modeling. This program does not directly reach the divine realm, but can reverse the law of cause and effect, and can be understood as a time-space retracing in another sense.

Reverse the law of cause and effect to thirty years ago, the time point when the various tribes and Wen Xingze first met.

In this way, they can go back along the long river of time and meet the most important people in their lives again.

Because of the reversal of the law of causality, the entire capital planet has returned to its most primitive and desolate state, but that doesn't matter.

It's just infrastructure, the people are still here, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, Wen Xingze is no longer an ordinary person, he is a god!

It sounds very impressive.

Walking further, I gradually came into sight of smaller houses. Most of them were remnants of a previous civilization, though some were made of straw. This area was close to the capital planet's main lake, and since taking in the merpeople, they had settled around the lake.

The lake under the moonlight was sparkling and magnificent. The ear fins of the mermen emerged from the lake. Before Wen Xingze walked in, they dived into the water, took a deep breath, and then floated up again.

Wen Xingze reached out to wipe away their tears, but the mermaids shook their heads, turned their faces to the side, and rubbed their slightly cool cheeks against Wen Xingze's palms.

This is their king.

The warmth is obviously different from the body temperature of humans and mermaids. It is real and not a dream.

Then came the robots. They were the original inhabitants of the desolate planet, and they knew the place like no other. Robots, led by 015, were stumbling in and out, preparing various furniture and ingredients. The little vampire bats hung upside down from tree branches or under the eaves, gazing out at the thick night.

Suddenly, a blue fire lit up in the darkness.

The flames drifted in front of Wen Xingze, guiding him all the way to the eaves. However, the vampires did not show their true selves. Instead, they hid in the corner, looking at everyone around Wen Xingze with sour eyes.

Wen Xingze was very ruthless and dragged them out by force. The little bats were about to cry, but in the end they turned into human form and hugged Wen Xingze and cried with joy.

The robots were both excited and helpless. They felt that they had not yet cleaned up their mess and waved their hands up and down in confusion. When they walked in front of Wen Xingze, green smoke came out of their heads again.

"Do you need to replace the parts?" Wen Xingze laughed. "I'll help you replace them tomorrow."

The robots didn't nod or answer, they just stared at him blankly.

Wen Xingze: "Okay, don't cry, I'm back."

The robots said blankly, "Well, you're back. It's good that you're back. We've prepared some delicious food for you tonight..."

After hearing this, Wen Xingze told them not to cry, but he almost burst into tears again.

Also? At this moment, a long whistle came from the horizon, and the strong wind bent the dry grass, and the air flow rolled backwards.

A giant black dragon landed on this desolate land, followed by a golden dragon, a red dragon, and an emerald dragon...

The black dragon spewed fire from its nostrils fiercely, and landed on the ground with a murderous look on its face, its eyes narrowed.

——Then huge tears rolled down from the black dragon's eyes. It lowered its head carefully and let Wen Xingze touch the tip of its nose.

Even Lei Qi, who always had the most savage and unyielding temper, couldn't hold back, so naturally the other dragons did too. The atmosphere suddenly became filled with sadness. The giant dragons used their wings to touch and hug Wen Xingze, then burst into tears.

This time, Wen Xingze was crying in the middle of the night when he suddenly realized something: "?"

Wen Xingze withdrew from the encirclement, his head full of questions. He stood outside and observed objectively for a while. It seemed like there was something there? It made no difference whether he had it or not.

...Why is it like this again?

It took a long time after the dragons finished crying before Wen Xingze finally symbolically returned to the encirclement, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Lei Qi clenched his paw, coughed deliberately, and then said:

"Okay, everyone is here, so let's go too..."

Wen Xingze raised his hand: "Is there someone missing?"

Parents: "No? Ah."

Wen Xingze: "Maybe, even though you have already forgotten, I do have a fiancé, his name is Chi Yan..."

Parents: “…”

"You bunch of old guys, stop teasing me," sighed the golden dragon Astor, using his claws to push Wen Xingze away. "The kid has grown up, and Chi... Chi Yan is actually quite good. Sigh, go find him, kid."

For the first time ever, no one objected this time.

"He's waiting for you at the place where you first met."

Chi Yan didn't want to disturb Wen Xingze's reunion with his parents, so he just waited there quietly.

He will always respect the people Wen Xingze loves.

Therefore, little by little, even parents who were originally childish, jealous, possessive, and bad-tempered gradually tried to learn how to accept the man who would be their child's life companion.

Wen Xingze walked towards the wasteland.

The place where he and Chi Yan first met...

etc.

Wen Xingze slammed on the brakes.

Isn't that a garbage dump?

To be precise, it's not a garbage dump.

It was still quite a distance from the garbage dump, after all, the aircraft needed a relatively open area for an emergency landing. He had simply used the garbage dump as a coordinate to define a rough area. Wen Xingze had found dragons, bards, mermen, dwarves, and even boyfriends within this area...

Wen Xingze had just walked a short distance when he realized that the parents were secretly following him, but he didn't deliberately stop them and just let them go.

An unknown light blue flower sways among the withered grass on the desolate planet. The skylight of this night has a unique and lonely beauty.

Wen Xingze saw the person he was looking for from a distance.

Chi Yan, dressed in a well-tailored military uniform, had his back to him.

He stood tall and straight, a faint light falling on his shoulders, like lonely fireflies floating in the wind. A screen unfolded before him. Wen Xingze approached, wanting to ask what he was watching, only to discover that it was actually a live broadcast of the Oscars.

Because the timeline of the universe is different, Wen Xingze feels like a long time has passed, but in terms of Earth time, it seems that only... less than two hours have passed.

The Best Actor award will be presented soon.

Wen Xingze: “…”

Wen Xingze coughed and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Chi."

Chi Yan raised his eyes and looked at him. After a moment, his normally light silver eyes flickered with a beautiful light.

He smiled.

"I want to give you a gift." Chi Yan said.

Countless tiny lives suddenly emerged, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, and pale blue flowers suddenly grew wildly along the barren soil. Firefly light enveloped them, and then spread out into the boundless universe on the fluttering wind.

The aurora filled the night sky.

This is a long romance made up of the smallest things.

Fireworks that never go out.

The parents hiding in the back were stunned: "Wait." "No, no, no, this is too sudden." "We need to go back and hold a meeting to discuss this!"

There must be a galaxy of flowers, a sky full of fireworks, and the witnesses of the noisy, annoying but protective parents of the Muse Empire.

This love will last forever and will last until death.

"Okay," Chi Yan took out the ring box and knelt on one knee. He seemed to have rehearsed it countless times, but when the time came, he was stuck because of nervousness. "Okay..."

"Will you marry me?"

“…”

Wen Xingze didn't mean to keep things in suspense, but for a few brief moments, his body and mind seemed to lose control. He became somewhat speechless, his heartbeat was rapid, his breathing was short, and...

Every living thing present was in a state of panic. It was a disaster.

And just at this moment, at this critical juncture when the air seemed to freeze, Wen Xingze's phone inexplicably lit up. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. While reaching for his ring, he pressed the answer button while trying to calm down.

Li Mingzhou's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm just calling casually. Aze may still be busy with his own things. I feel very sorry about this. It's really too much for an actor to not be able to attend the award ceremony where he won the little golden man.

"...Oh, great! He answered the phone! Aze, let's turn on the camera!"

Wen Xingze: “…”

It seems too late to say wait now.

The camera is on the other side of the Dolby Theatre's stage. Through the broadcast camera, you can see that the audience is packed with people, all staring at the stage eagerly.

The Best Actor award is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated awards in the entire Oscars, with more than one billion people around the world watching the live broadcast.

The director creatively projected the content from Wen Xingze's camera onto the big screen. The host said with a smile:

"Although it's a pity that Mr. Wen can't come in person to receive the award, you can express your feelings about winning through live broadcast—"

But soon the host's voice stopped abruptly.

Because she, the entire Dolby Theatre, the entire Los Angeles audience, and the entire world saw it.

Chi Yan beside Wen Xingze, the ring on his finger. And... a desolate and beautiful planet, aurora-filled sky, long winds blowing, and a giant dragon flapping its wings.

The barrage of comments and comments across the entire network instantly began to explode geometrically.

Wen Xingze: “…”

Audience: “…………”

However, after a long period of silence.

"Award, acceptance speech." Wen Xingze's mind was still in a state of confusion, but he knew he had to say something, so he opened his mouth. "Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you to the director, thank you to the crew of 'Dust Planet'. And thank you to my family and my fiancé."

"By the way, if there's nothing else to do, let me introduce my family and my lover to you all."

"It's a long story..."

It's worth spending a lifetime to tell.

————end————

The author has something to say: It seems that this chapter is more like the end of the main text orz

I was quite confused about where to end the story. I felt like some things were not explained clearly in the previous chapter, so I just continued writing. However, the comedy effect is too exaggerated, so it may not have the atmosphere of an ending. I'll just give you a laugh.

The plot officially ends here! The following extras are all about some daily or bizarre parallel world AUs, which will be marked in the content summary. If you are not interested, please don’t buy it.
