"Give him back to me." Li Yuebai stood in the middle of the lounge, facing the empty white wall in front of him, and spoke word by word.

The sixth wear was over, he repeated the previous procedure and returned to the lounge again.

But this time the atmosphere was completely different.

Li Yuebai will never forget the feeling of being hugged tightly by Shen Po at the end, and the look in Shen Po's eyes before he left the world.

I will never forgive the person who took Shen Po away... no matter if he is a human or a god...

"Give him back to me." Li Yuebai said, "Otherwise I will kill the Lord God."

After uttering such harsh words, the system finally appeared trembling with fear.

"Host...you...as a mortal, do you want to kill God?" The system's voice trembled slightly.

"yes."

“You can’t do that…”

"Not necessarily." Li Yuebai gritted his teeth.

Anger is a force that can burn everything. It is really hard to predict what you will do when you are angry.

"If someone else said that, I would laugh at him for overestimating his own abilities." The system was stunned: "But if it was you..."

The system always felt that its host was different from others and would always do things that broke the rules. If the host was allowed to be controlled by anger, the consequences would be disastrous.

The best way is to tell the host all the causes and consequences.

The system knows that all time travel has a set of logically consistent causes and consequences. The system knows that the truth is hidden behind each time travel, but the system does not know the truth, let alone tell the host the truth.

Now, finally, the time has come.

The system sent an application to the upper level and soon received a positive response.

After a few long seconds of data transmission, the system finally spoke again.

"Host." The system said solemnly: "I will take you to see the Lord God."

Li Yuebai's face darkened, and then he nodded without hesitation.

"The Lord God has no form, or rather, the Lord God never shows his true face." The system explained: "What we can see is just the projection of the Lord God in a certain world. In the past, even if it was a projection, no system dared to peek into it. So, host, don't expect to see the Lord God's entity, let alone expect to touch him."

Even if it is just a projection, some information can be obtained.

Li Yuebai suppressed the anger and sadness in his heart and agreed to the system's request.

There was a flash of white light, and the wall of the lounge changed in some way, or rather, the lounge had disappeared - he was in the vast universe, with deep darkness and countless brilliant stars all around him. The stars looked completely different from before, no longer small shining dots hanging on the sky, no longer rhinestones on the dark blue velvet, but like a science atlas of the universe, they had been infinitely magnified and turned into spheres one after another, all with complex colors and patterns, some with halos.

On a certain star, Li Yuebai vaguely saw the huge figure of the Lord God.

From such a great distance, the Lord was just a black silhouette. He stood on the star, motionless, and his figure was terrifyingly large. His height was as much as one-third of the diameter of the star.

"...This is impossible." Li Yuebai couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I know, host, in the science of your world, no life can stand on a star, let alone be so huge. Therefore, as I just said - this is just a projection of the Lord God." The system emphasized again.

"I understand, but I am confused." Li Yuebai felt a chill in his heart: "Why does the Lord's projection... look so similar to Ye Qing?"

"Maybe it's too far away." The system issued a new instruction: "Let's get closer and take a look."

The universe disappeared, the starry sky disappeared, and Li Yuebai found himself back in the white lounge. However, the star did not disappear. It appeared in the center of the lounge, and the figure of the Lord God was still standing motionlessly on the star.

Li Yuebai took a few steps forward and approached the huge sphere.

The man on the sphere turned and looked back at him.

It’s Shen Po.

Shen Po maintained his usual cold expression on his face, and when he saw Li Yuebai, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

"..." Li Yuebai didn't say anything, but just looked back quietly at the main god who looked exactly like his lover.

Looks, expressions, movements, temperament...all exactly the same.

And it's not just Shen Po, Li Yuebai firmly believes that as long as the Lord God is willing, he can change into another appearance at any time, such as Ye Qing... When he didn't look closely just now, the Lord God might have existed in the form of Ye Qing.

What does this mean?

Perhaps he was tired of such silent staring, or perhaps he disdained to talk to mortals, the figure of the Lord God soon disappeared again, along with the star.

"System, what do you want to tell me?" Li Yuebai was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Are you trying to tell me that the Lord God and my lover are the same person? Are you trying to tell me that Ye Qing is the Lord God?"

"In a sense, you could say that..." the system said slowly and hesitantly.

"Wrong." Li Yue said bluntly, "They are not the same person."

"Why do you think so?"

Too obvious.

The Lord God is a cold machine, a god without the slightest bit of humanity. Just that gaze just now could almost freeze the entire lounge into ice. When Li Yuebai was looking at the Lord God, he could not feel any love for him, even if he looked exactly like his lover and was flawless, it was impossible for him to fall in love with him.

"That's the difference between the person I love and the God I don't love," Li Yuebai said.

"You are right." The system sighed and began to explain.

The Lord God is the controller of countless stars and countless worlds. He is an existence that dominates everyone. He possesses all abilities that are difficult for humans to imagine. He can destroy galaxies in a moment and create countless new worlds with a snap of his fingers... Of course, the Lord God is an emotionless existence.

Emotion is an insignificant quality possessed by humans and some weaker creatures. It makes humans more vulnerable and painful, and it is useless.

However, over billions of years, there are always some low-probability events that occur.

During one of the long sleeps, the Lord God accidentally split off into a personality with emotions.

This made the Lord God Lei Ting furious, and he even suspected that he would become vulnerable because of this. In order to maintain his eternal status, the Lord God separated the redundant self from the divine body and exiled it to the human world in the vast universe.

"Ye Qing is another personality of the Lord God?" Li Yuebai began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Yes." said the system.

"Then why does the Lord God still not let him go?" Li Yuebai said angrily: "Ye Qing is already in the human world. He will not return to the Lord God's body and will not affect the Lord God's sanity. Why does the Lord God always plot against him again and again?"

"You have made a preconceived decision." The system said, "Why do you believe in Ye Qing's character so much?"

"What else can I believe besides this?" Li Yuebai thought there was no need to explain this question.

Having been with Ye Qing for such a long time in the second time travel, I understand Ye Qing so well that all the beautiful and positive words in the world can be used to describe him.

"But, in the eyes of the Lord God, Ye Qing is a demon-like existence." The system said: "Host, do you believe in the theory of sexual evil?"

The theory of human nature being evil states that human nature is evil at the beginning.

Li Yuebai believed it. He had seen many uneducated children doing all kinds of cruel and terrible things while laughing happily. Everything was so natural. They had emotions from birth, but not all emotions were positive and beautiful. Getting happiness from doing evil was a part of human emotions.

"Before he met you, Ye Qing was a demon." The system said, "He traveled through many different worlds, and in each world he used his power wantonly, releasing plagues and poisoning lives... The Lord God would always stop him without hesitation, but he had never succeeded in killing him. If he was killed in this world, he would be resurrected in another world. Moreover, Ye Qing would occasionally pretend to be the Lord God's order and create a system for himself, or steal the Lord God's system for his own use... So, in some worlds, he is no different from an ordinary traveler."

“…”

Li Yuebai really wanted to question the system why it slandered his lover like this, but he had to admit that what the system said was true - everything was clearly presented in the database, supporting the system's statement.

Why did this happen? How big of a mistake was there in my own perception? The relationship between the kindhearted, brave, almost righteous lover and the moody, cruel, and terrifying Lord God was instantly turned upside down, and black and white were reversed.

"Of course, host, as your system, I believe in your judgment." The system said: "I also believe in my judgment as a system - after meeting you, Ye Qing became your ideal lover and never did the brutal acts that he was accustomed to in many previous worlds. However, the Lord God did not dare to believe him. The Lord God thought that this was his disguise and a precursor to his next large-scale evil. Therefore, the Lord God will continue to hunt him down."

"He..." Li Yuebai couldn't utter a complete sentence. He only felt a black screen in front of his eyes. When he reacted, he found that he had already kneeled on the ground, grabbing the smooth and solid ground with both hands. Only the pain from his fingertips could make him sober a little.

"Every time Ye Qing travels through a world, he loses the memory of the previous world, changes into a new body, and changes into a new behavior pattern... It can almost be called reincarnation." The system said: "If there is a universal law in the vast universe, I don't know if this law will judge him as innocent."

"So... this time, did Shen Po escape the Lord's pursuit again?" Li Yuebai whispered: "Even though he died in my arms, he was resurrected in another world?"

"Yes." The system said firmly.

"I no longer consider fighting the Lord God." Li Yuebai stood up from the ground tiredly: "I want to find Ye Qing - find him and ask him everything."

"But host, do you know where he is?" the system asked hesitantly.

"I don't know." Li Yuebai smiled tiredly: "So I want to ask for your help. You will find out where he is, right? We have already agreed on the code..."

"So... Host, what was the secret code you and Shen Po agreed upon?" The system's question seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"It's the number 42." Li Yuebai was quick to detect the system's hidden meaning: "What's wrong?"

"Host, do you think this number sounds familiar?" the system said.

"I have remembered many important things, and I have also forgotten many unimportant things." Li Yuebai sighed, "Sorry, I really don't remember this number."

"Then the system will give you a hint." The system said: "Your comrade in the first time travel is named..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Yuebai rubbed his temples tiredly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's name is... Nan? I can't remember."

"How could you forget this!" The system said helplessly, "Is Murong Nan so insignificant in your heart?"

"No, I just..." Li Yuebai was really unable to think about this problem now.

It's not that he didn't like Murong Nan, it's just that Murong Nan's behavior was always too close, and he was too submissive to him, almost accepting all his opinions without any objection, which led to a smooth relationship between them, without any conflicts or disputes. Therefore, it was difficult to leave a deep impression. More importantly, at that time, he didn't consider the problem of love at all, and his attitude towards Murong Nan was just to treat a comrade-in-arms, so there were not many memories left in his mind.

"I'm afraid you don't remember what Murong Nan said when he first met you in the first time, right?" The system said, "The system just retrieved the information from the upper system, and the result is shocking."

"What?"

"When Murong Nan saw you, he only said one number." The system said, "Forty-two."

Li Yuebai felt that his entire life's concepts had been overturned.

Ye Qing is a time traveler who is traveling on a different timeline from himself.

Why had I never thought about such a simple fact? Why was I so stupid as to assume that Ye Qing was just like me, going through the same experiences one after another according to my own timeline?

"So, after Shen Po left the entertainment world, his next incarnation was my first incarnation..." Li Yuebai put his hand on his forehead, feeling the heat there.

"Yes." The system said: "Murong Nan has not recovered all his memories, but the moment he met you, he remembered that you were his lover."

"I never thought that Murong Nan was also Ye Qing." Li Yuebai tried to recall Murong Nan, but could only recall some faint impressions: "He recognized me, but I... He must be very disappointed."

That being said, everything in the first episode can be explained.

Murong Nan doted on me inexplicably, was overly close to me, and obeyed my every word... He would hug me all the time, as if I would disappear at any time.

He treated himself as he would a beloved lover, and he treated himself in return as he would a stranger.

"It's not your fault..." said the system.

"It's too late to say this now." Li Yuebai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I never thought that the three of them were actually the same person..."

"More than three." said the system.

More than three?

"According to all the data provided to me by the superior system," the system said, "the partner you met in each time you traveled... was Ye Qing."

"Yu Tianji too?"

"yes."

“…”

Li Yuebai felt an inexplicable sense of security.

In the world of Kunlun Fairy Mountain, he and Yu Tianji once had a fierce argument over whether he was Ye Qing. Yu Tianji completely denied that he was Ye Qing and had no memory of being Ye Qing. He was always in a state of entanglement and confusion. Now, he finally knew the truth.

Yu Tianji didn’t completely lose his memory, but because... he had not experienced Ye Qing’s world at that time.

"Ye Qing's order is this," the system said: "Interstellar, Unlimited X-Fiction, Kunlun Fairy Mountain, Vampire Hunter, Modern Entertainment Circle, Shangjing Luohua."

"Interstellar...Interstellar is actually the first world we traveled through together." When Li Yuebai thought of Interstellar, his heart was filled with shadows: "Is Ye Qing Lei Ares?"

"No."

“…”

"It's Cecil."

“…”

This can also explain it.

I have deep feelings for Ray Ares. I would risk my life for him, but that feeling has nothing to do with love.

As for Cecil... I hated Cecil without a doubt, but my hatred was mixed with a very strange feeling, maybe that was... desire?

"Host, please recall Xizel's character and behavior." The system said: "Even if the Lord God deceived you, I would not deceive you. Ye Qing...is not a born good boy. At that time, he was just like Xizel, full of malice and ambition."

"..."Li Yuebai would certainly not forget.

However, in the next world, which is a world of X-novels without any lower limits, the protagonist Lin Xie is obviously much better.

"From the interstellar world to the X-world, I can see his transformation, and it will be more obvious in the future." Li Yuebai said: "Every time he travels through time, he becomes more kind..."

"That's because of you." The system said, "You imprisoned him in the interstellar world for a whole life. Perhaps it was the daily companionship that wore away all his hostility and ambition."

“I don’t dare say it’s my fault.”

"That's right." The system said, "You are the only one in the entire universe who has truly defeated him."

“…”

"You defeated him in the interstellar world, which was something he had never experienced before."

"I used the cheats and your help to defeat him." Li Yuebai didn't think his actual ability was better than Xizel's, and his victory was always due to luck.

"No matter what, you defeated him, this is a fact." The system said: "Perhaps this is what you humans often call fate. At that time, Ye Qing was the same as Xi Zeer - worshipping the strong, lacking the love of others, and appreciating the strategy of risking everything... All of these combined were enough to make him hate you... to the core in that life, and then love you to the core."

After that, countless encounters and loves became more natural. Ye Qing was influenced by Li Yuebai unknowingly, and in every life she tried to become the kind of person that Li Yuebai recognized.

"I must find him." Li Yuebai was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you for explaining everything clearly."

"You're welcome. This is my duty."

"Now, can you tell me where he is?" Li Yuebai asked anxiously.

"He went to the world where you first met." said the system.

"The first world we met... was it the interstellar world?" Li Yuebai asked naturally.

"No." The system denied: "You have met before."

"Where? When?" Li Yuebai tried to recall, but he only felt a splitting headache and could not remember anything.

"The real world where you were born and raised." The system said: "When you were 18 years old."
