"Bai Gege, you're my light. You are the one who gives me a purpose in life. You are my everything," Han Shun said, telling everything that had been buried deep in his heart. "Bai Gege, I have loved you since the day we met."

"Han Shun…" Bai Yunyu was speechless at Han Shun's speech. He didn't know Han Shun had that feeling for him.

He always thought Han Shun was just going on a phase of idolizing him and would eventually grow out of it.

That was why… Bai Yunyu never saw Han Shun in that kind of light.

He didn't love Han Shun. He saw him as a family, a little brother, or even a son instead.

"Bai Gege, I love you. I love you so much that I'm already going crazy right now," Han Shun confessed. He knew that his Bai Gege would never reciprocate his feelings.

With one look, Han Shun knew that Bai Gege didn't put him in his eyes.

"Do you love me, Bai Gege?" Han Shun confronted. He knew the answer already, but he still wished Bai Gege had some kind of romantic feelings for him deep in his heart.

Bai Yunyu's willpower wavered when he faced Han Shun, who looked desperate. Logically, Yunyu should've lied and said he loved Han Shun to appease the young man.

But when he saw that evil bastard wearing Han Ye Gege's face standing beside Han Shun, his heart stopped beating for a second, and he got tongue-tied instantly.

'I can't,' Bai Yunyu thought. 'I can't lie and say I love Han Shun when I see Han Ye Gege's face.'

Bai Yunyu didn't know whether he couldn't lie to Han Shun because he still loved Han Ye Gege or he was terrified of him. What he did in the real world scarred Yunyu for life, making him unable to fuck another man.

His beloved Han Ye Gege became the nightmare that haunted him whenever he wanted to develop any romantic interest. He would remember how Han Ye Gege crushed his confidence, ruined his life and drove him to suicide.

Bai Yunyu didn't want to suffer anymore. He was tired of suffering because he fell in love with someone, even Han Ye Gege.

So it was better not to ever fall in love anymore.

"Bai Gege, can you answer me?" Han Shun asked to no avail. Instead of answering his question, Bai Gege lowered his head ashamedly instead, silently confirming that he didn't reciprocate Han Shun's love.

"Bai Gege…" Han Shun's voice started trembling. He wanted to cry and begged Bai Gege to accept him because Han Shun knew he couldn't live with the idea that Bai Gege's heart wasn't his.

However, he also knew there was no use in begging that heartless bastard.

Bai Gege led him to believe that they had the same feelings.

'Turns out, what I experience is one-sided, huh?'

"Haha…" Han Shun started chuckling for no reason. He continued crying, but the tears from his eyes turned ink-black.

"Han Shun!" Bai Yunyu didn't know what made Han Shun's tears suddenly turn ink-black. But he knew it wasn't a good sign.

"HAN SHUN, GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!"

"Hahaha… hahahaha…. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Han Shun started laughing maniacally, and the black tears also covered his pupils until there was nothing but black in his eyes.

"Ohh, so it's finally time," Han Ye said lightly. He glanced at his wife and explained, "Wife, you see, when Han Shun's tears turned black, that means his heart has been completely filled with despair. He has nothing to lose in this world, and would do anything to get what he wants."

"And what he wants is—" Han Ye smirked and shifted his attention to Han Shun instead. "—to destroy this world and every living being in it. He wants you and him to be the only people living in this world."

"So, I will give it to him. By merging our body into one, I shall regain control of my old power once more, and we will erase everything!"

Bai Yunyu panicked. Now he understood what the evil God meant by merging into one. He wanted to be inside Han Shun's body and take control over him completely!

Han Ye opened his mouth, and marble with pure dark energy came out of his mouth.

The small black marble was surrounded by a suffocating dark cloud. Even in one glance, Bai Yunyu knew that it was the evil God's soul that could corrupt everything, including Han Shun.

"Han Shun, are you sure you want to erase everything into nothingness, so you can stay with your Bai Gege?"

Han Shun stopped laughing maniacally once he saw the dark marble on Master Han Ye's palm. He knew that was his ticket to be the God of Nothingness.

'If I become the most powerful God to ever exist, I can erase everything and play with Bai Gege forever. We will be inseparable, because Bai Gege will have nowhere to go.'

'He will be trapped forever with me, AND HE WILL LOVE ME EVENTUALLY!' Han Shun was assured in his heart. As long as there was no distraction, Bai Gege would be forced to love him eventually.

Han Ye could read Han Shun's thoughts clearly, and he chuckled, "Ah, I guess you're befitting to be my strongest incarnation. Even our ideas are the same, as always."

"So, Han Shun, if you want to tap into your highest potential and become the new God of Nothingness, swallow my soul and we shall be one!"

Han Shun looked at Master Han Ye and then at the marble. He scoffed, "I don't want to share my Bai Gege with someone else. But I know my place. I know I can't trap him forever without your help, Master Han Ye. I will take this because of Bai Gege, not because of you."

"Good," Han Ye smirked. "I don't lie you either. But we do have the same interest."

The black marble started floating on Han Ye's palm, "Open your mouth and swallow this."
