"Fuck." Qu Haiyu looked at Zhang Chunliang with a smile, "You're really cruel, little bastard. You're really capable."

Zhang Chunliang shook his head shyly: "Fortunately, Xiao Qu, compared to what you did to me, it's still a bit subtle."

"What's going on?" Qu Anran's eyes were red. He panted rapidly and looked at Qu Haiyu blankly. "Dad, I don't understand."

"Nothing happened. You are my son and I am your father. It's that simple." Qu Haiyu interrupted him forcefully. "I told you a long time ago not to hang out with bad guys. Now you are getting wild. You are screwing your father."

Qu Anran seemed to want to force a laugh, but failed.

"You misunderstood me, Xiao Qu." The shady Zhang Chunliang said helplessly, "Who told you that I wanted to help Game Home pass the level?"

"Otherwise, are you going to help me? You don't look very helpful." Qu Haiyu nodded, and the fire in his eyes flashed sarcastically.

Zhang Chunliang smiled and motioned Qu Anran to go into the office and close the door.

"Where is this place? 'He' shouldn't be able to find this place, right?" Zhang Chunliang looked around the elegantly decorated office.

"This is my home ground, which can completely block the intruders' prying eyes." Qu Haiyu said politely, "If even this place can be dug out by that intruder, then I'd better go to bed and hand over the world to him."

Zhang Chunliang nodded with relief and snapped his fingers.

A ball of golden light emerged from between his brows and slowly stretched out in front of the three people. The ball of light was like a soft morning sun, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

This halo has no shape, and it keeps expanding and shrinking in front of the people, like a golden heart. It looks very strange, but inexplicably gives people a sense of calm and solidity.

"Hello, Qu Haiyu"

The voice that used to only echo in Zhang Chunliang's mind suddenly appeared in the ears of several people.

Qu Haiyu frowned as he looked at the strange golden light, and subconsciously straightened his back: "Who are you? You make me feel... familiar."

"You can call me 'Holy Father System', but of course, I prefer you to call me by my previous name, which was 'Justice'."

The Holy Father system responded to him mechanically.

"It sounds so childish. Hello, you are justice, and I am evil." Qu Haiyu answered cooperatively.

The other three were obviously not infected by his humor and looked at him with indifference.

Qu Haiyu's skull face showed a trace of human embarrassment. He reached out and touched the position of his nose bone: "So, what can I do for you, Excellency?"

"Let me introduce it to you." Zhang Chunliang intervened. "This is the Holy Father System. In a sense, it is my...father."

The ball of golden light flickered, listening quietly to Zhang Chunliang's narration.

"It was once the same as you, a consciousness of a world plane, that is, the 'Father God' of that world, and the world I was born in is called the 'Age of Justice'."

Qu Haiyu's carelessness disappeared instantly. He stood up suddenly and stared at the Holy Father System without saying a word.

"Why have you become like this?" There was no emotion in his voice, but anyone could sense his uneasiness.

"As you thought, I was invaded by 'Him'." The Holy Father System said, "In order to save my world, I sneaked into the invader's world and tried to absorb His power to maintain my world."

"Did it succeed?" Qu Haiyu walked out from the principal's desk, raised his arm, and gently touched the ball of light condensed by the system, causing a strange light wave.

"Not yet, but fortunately, we are still alive."

Qu Haiyu and the Holy Father system are in opposition.

They are both world consciousnesses and should have been the supreme existence in a plane. But now, one can only survive by parasitizing the bodies of his people, while the other has lost his physical body and turned into a pitiful and terrifying skeleton.

"Fuck it, you bastard." Qu Haiyu nodded and said calmly, "Why didn't he die of starvation?"

He stopped talking.

The entire principal's office fell into silence.

"I have an idea." Qu Haiyu suddenly raised his head, "It's not very mature, but I think you may be able to do it-"

"If you want to sneak across the border to survive like me, I'm sorry, I can't do anything for you." The Holy Father System interrupted him first, "The Lord of that world is definitely not as stupid as you think. I was able to escape by chance with the help of outsiders."

"No, no, no, I won't leave." Qu Haiyu said patiently, "What I mean is, since you can take the people of your world out, can you take my little bastard out with you?"

Qu Anran looked at him suddenly and clenched his fists.

"I will try my best to make him like you and remove my mark on him. Since Zhang Chunliang can become a player, I think my son will not be worse than him."

Qu Haiyu did not forget to secretly put pressure on Zhang Chunliang.

"Is this your attitude when asking for help?" Zhang Chunliang asked politely.

"I won't leave. You're going too far." Qu Anran's voice was terribly hoarse. "Am I not your son? Why do you always want to drive me away?"

Qu Haiyu didn't even give him a glance.

"Sorry, I can't do it." The Holy Father System said again, "It is very difficult to obtain an identity recognized by the Game House. A legendary substitute doll is needed to help the stowaway refresh his identity. Such props are rare and cannot be sought."

Qu Haiyu laughed angrily. He asked, "So you are kidding me? You suddenly jumped out just to show off to me that you can run away with your son, but my son should stay here and be crushed to pieces by the invaders?"

His tone was heavy, like a dejected trapped beast, who was ecstatic after seeing the hope of escaping the cage, but finally found out that it was nothing but an illusion.

Desperate and powerless.

"Old man." Qu Anran tried to remind him, "I don't think I will be crushed to pieces even if I die."

"I just want to tell you that you and I are in the same group. We have the same experience and the same blood feud." Zhang Chunliang patted Qu Haiyu's shoulder, "We also have a common enemy. You don't have to be so hostile to me."

"There is another way to save your son." The Holy Father System suddenly said, "All it takes is a World Heart."

Zhang Chunliang looked at it in surprise. This was the first time that the Holy Father System took the initiative to put forward its opinions.

"The Heart of the World, what is that?" Qu Haiyu asked tiredly, "Excuse me, can you explain it to me, a country bumpkin?"

"For a world to be born, it must be inseparable from the demise of another world. The newborn power will inherit the will of its predecessors, absorb the broken remains of the former, reintegrate and absorb these substances in its young body, and then use the heart of the world as its own operating core to transform into a new world."

"To put it simply, if you want to create a new world, you need to sacrifice the old world," Zhang Chunliang concluded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he tasted a very subtle flavor.

"...Holy Father System, what do you want to express?"

"If you want your child to live, this is the best way." The Holy Father System mechanically said indifferently, "You voluntarily fall and give all your power to your child. With your help, he will form a new plane, and this plane has not been captured by the Game House, so it will naturally not be marked by Him. It will become a new, free world."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qu Anran shouted angrily, "Don't stir up trouble here—"

Qu Haiyu covered his mouth with his hand, looked at the Holy Father System, and said calmly: "It sounds good, so, what is the Heart of the World? Where can I get it?"

Zhang Chunliang opened his eyes wide and looked at the calm and rational Qu Haiyu, but he felt that he had gone crazy.

"Do you know what you are... discussing?" he murmured.

"Let's discuss how to let my little bastard survive. This is the only hope for our Qu family now. Do you have any opinion?" Qu Haiyu asked.

He knew that he was powerless to save the situation.

Qu Haiyu's strength had long been exhausted in his repeated negotiations with players and his confrontation with Chen Dahai. Now he couldn't even maintain his most basic human form.

Destruction was his inevitable outcome. He had tried his best to redeem himself, but still succumbed to fate. He had already let it go.

If after his death, his broken body could be transformed into nutrients for the new world, allowing him to exist in the world in another way, and at the same time save his unfortunate son, it would be a profitable deal with no harm at all.

"Even if I die, I don't want to die at the hands of that bastard. Otherwise, it would be too easy for Him." Qu Haiyu said.

Qu Anran struggled to break free from Qu Haiyu's grip. He glared at Qu Haiyu angrily, with big tears streaming down his eyes and hitting his white finger bones.

"The heart of the world is the source of the world's energy. It is the medium that connects heaven and earth and fate and cause and effect. It is also the core that contains and operates the power of the new world."

"Don't tell me again that this is some rare and unattainable treasure, otherwise I will really beat you up." Qu Haiyu said.

"Congratulations, Evil, you got it right," the Holy Father System responded.

Qu Haiyu: “…”

"But you are lucky. In your world, there is a being that once made the gaming world tremble with fear."

Zhang Chunliang paused and held his breath.

"The House of Games has dispersed the power of this being into countless planes, and your world happens to contain one of them."

"Wait." Qu Haiyu glanced at Zhang Chunliang, "I think I know who you are talking about... That guy is indeed very strange, and a little too strong. Logically speaking, I can't create such a citizen..."

The Holy Father System emitted a warm golden light, which seemed to confirm his guess.

"The soul power of that being is strong enough to shake your entire plane. The Game House used his power to open a channel to invade your world, and by absorbing his power, it continuously strengthens itself."

Once the Game House has drained Shen Xingyi's soul power, it will have the energy to subvert the world. At that time, the entire world will fall.

"He is the best heart of the world."

"Don't force me to beat you, system, what a bad idea." Zhang Chunliang finally couldn't help it.

"Host, please be patient." The Holy Father System signaled him to calm down. "I don't want that person to contribute all his strength. He only needs to provide a medium that can accommodate the core power of the plane. The Heart of the World has very strict requirements for materials. In this plane, only that person can provide it."

"The World Heart can be a non-lethal organ for him." The Holy Father System suggested.

Having said that, if Zhang Chunliang still doesn’t understand what it means, he would be really stupid.

"You're talking about that eyeball." He muttered to himself, "The eye is the mirror of the heart, and it is also the vital point for the circulation of power. This is where Chen Yue's energy is transferred..."

"Correct answer."

The Holy Father System stopped giving prompts. It flashed with light, shrank into a marble-sized ball of light, and slowly returned to Zhang Chunliang's forehead.

"What a clever little light ball. It thought of that eyeball from the very beginning." Qu Haiyu praised, "All the foreshadowing that followed was just for me. It seems that it really wants me to owe you a favor."

"But I forgot... I can't remember anything. Where did I put his eyes?" Zhang Chunliang couldn't help but feel around his body, but found nothing.

"How could such an important thing be with you? You must have put it in a safe place where no one can find it. Think about it carefully, the fate of Uncle Qu's family depends on you." Qu Haiyu glanced at him sideways and took back his hand that was covering Qu Anran's mouth.

"I don't agree." Qu Anran coughed violently, his cheeks flushed, "You guys are discussing things related to me, why don't you ask me what I think?!"

"So what do you think?" Qu Haiyu asked coldly, "Your idea is to follow your old father like a weakling, and let the two unlucky guys die together at the hands of their enemies, and in the end there is not even anyone to collect the bodies?"

His words were so harsh and hurtful that even Zhang Chunliang couldn't help but frown.

"Don't be a hooligan, old man!" Qu Anran yelled, "You guys are discussing this, but you want me to eat you?! You know, I'm a very picky eater——"

"You bastard." Qu Haiyu interrupted his angry speech, "Daddy, please."

Qu Anran's rapid breathing had not yet subsided, his chest was heaving violently, and the corners of his eyes were still flushed with sadness.

"Dad has always lived a decent life and doesn't want to die at the hands of a bad guy." Qu Haiyu unbuttoned the shirt of his suit, revealing the bony ribs underneath. The internal organs under the ribs were still beating, looking miserable and weird.

"You are already very brave, aren't you? Brave children always dare to challenge everything impossible." Qu Haiyu said.

Qu Anran wiped his eyes viciously: "You are playing rogue here again. Every time you can't win an argument with me, you start to act pitiful."

"This time is different. This time Dad is really pitiful." Qu Haiyu said.

Qu Anran's body was trembling slightly, as if he was terribly cold.

"I need to think about it." He finally said, "Don't push me. I need to think about it carefully. I just graduated from high school. You can't just let me build a rocket."

Qu Haiyu nodded and did not continue to force him: "Try to be quick, Dad's shelf life is very short, and it will not be fresh when you eat it."

"That's enough. Can you please stop telling such boring jokes?" Qu Anran gritted his teeth.

"You little bastard, you're starting to dislike your dad." Qu Haiyu tried to ease the atmosphere and lectured him in a dissatisfied manner.

Suddenly, there was a movement beside them. Zhang Chunliang jumped up suddenly and bumped into the table beside him.

"Rabbit...?" He muttered as his breathing quickened. "Yes, I will probably hide my eyes in a place where no one can find them—"

In this copy, there is only one place that no one can find.

That is the transparent world that lost its sense of existence after being cursed by the rabbit-headed man.
