Urduk gently touched Erolith's cheek and eyes, "My love, I've waited for so long. At last… at last, you've returned…." Urduk said with tears streaming down his cheek.

"I have returned, but I cannot stay for so long, Urduk. I'm old now. I cannot live longer than this…." Erolith said. He pointed at Merrath. "I bring our son here."

"I… I have a son?" Urduk asked. He couldn't believe a corrupted beast like him could have a child, let alone from the one he loved.

"Yes, his name is Merrath. He is a General and Scholar in the Elven Kingdom," Erolith said. "Merrath, go call your dad and tell him about your life in the Elven Kingdom."

"D—dad…" Merrath called Urduk. "I lived in the Elven Kingdom peacefully. Papa takes care of me very well, and I lack nothing. I studied hard to help my little brother, Elrand. I married a beast woman of my choice, and you will have a granddaughter soon."

Urduk stared at Merrath and Erolith consecutively. "I… I have a family… I really have a family…."

"Yes, you have Merrath and me. You have a family, Urduk."

After that, they watched how Erolith's body dissipated and turned into butterflies flying to the sky. Urduk apologized to his son because he couldn't be a good father to him. He also dissipated into butterflies that chased Erolith.

Han Shun watched everything and looked at Urduk, who shed tears right beside him.

"Ah, no matter how many times I watched this scene, I will keep crying," Urduk said. "My village was destroyed, I lost everything and made a pact with the devil… who was actually the God of Nothingness himself, and he turned me into a corrupted beast. Thus, after that day, my sole purpose in life is to create chaos wherever I go and corrupt the Elven Priests through generations. Erolith was the only one who could resist me."

"That's why I'm so happy that a corrupted beast like me actually has a family…." 

"G—God of Nothingness?! You mean God Han Ye?"

"Indeed," Urduk said. "He is the one who made me immortal and turned me into a corrupted beast."

"D—Does that mean he will also—" 

"Haha, no! He won't turn you like me," Urduk chuckled. "He is not a bad man. He is the one who connects us all, right?"

"Yeah…" Han Shun nodded. "I was just worried that he might do something to my Gege…."

"He will not hurt him," Urduk said. "I can't say much because of a pact I made with the God of Nothingness. But I know that the God of Nothingness will never hurt your Gege."

…

"My time with you is over. I cannot stay for long," Urduk said, and the black hole was summoned right under Han Shun's feet, sucking him slowly. "Promise me to treat your Bai Gege well. He is the love of my life as well."

"Of course! I will never let anyone or anything hurt my Gege!" Han Shun claimed. 

Urduk smiled bitterly, "You must never hurt him. Your Bai Yunyu holds you so dearly. I wished Priest Erolith would be less opposing to me. But I know that it's my fault, to begin with."

"Goodbye, Han Shun. I know you can be a better person than me," Urduk said, and Han Shun was fully sucked back into reality.

The cold sensation of the jade bench helped Han Shun to return to reality. He opened his eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling of the white jade pavilion. 

He turned his head to the left and saw God Han Ye sitting leisurely while playing with the white jade supposedly given to Bai Shijue secretly.

"How's your meeting with Altair, Elduin, and Urduk?" Han Ye asked. 

…

"Master Han, why did you turn Urduk into a corrupted beast?" Han Shun asked.

"Because my wife wants to spice up things in that world, he ruined Urduk's soul and forced me to turn that poor beastman into a corrupted beast," Han Ye replied lightly as if it was just a trivial manner. 

"And his whole village that got slaughtered?"

"My wife wants the story to be like that," Han Ye replied nonchalantly. 

"Then your wife is an asshole. He is scum!" Han Shun yelled. But before he could take a breath after yelling, Han Shun suddenly teleported and appeared right on top of Han Shun's body.

Han Ye sat on Han Shun's stomach, wrapped his hand around Han Shun's neck, and strangled him until Han Shun started struggling, "Listen here, you little shit. I am very tolerant of you, and I like your attitude on things. But if you dare to talk shit about my wife once more, I will not hesitate to turn you to dust and erase this whole world."

Han Shun's eyes widened. He didn't understand why God Han Ye would defend his scummy wife that much after what she did. Han Shun assumed that God Han Ye's wife was a greater force, probably a big, ugly extraterrestrial monster from the netherworld or something. 

"Why?" Han Shun asked. "W—Why… would you… defend your wife?"

"Isn't it obvious? BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" Han Ye yelled, and the blue moon shining in this secret place suddenly turned into a blood-red moon. The water started rippling, and Han Shun could feel the air starting to thin around them.

Han Ye's eyes started shining in violet again, and the ground shook. 

Han Ye took a deep breath after he realized what he had done. He released Han Shun and took a step back. Han Ye put the white jade right beside Han Shun, who was still too terrified to move. It was the first time he ever saw God Han Ye getting angry, and he was probably holding back a lot, even when he was angry in this world.

"Listen, kid. I don't want to hurt you. Just mind your words. Leave now, and don't forget to put that white jade underneath Bai Shijue's bed."
