As his consciousness slowly returned, Chi Zhao hazily opened his eyes.
His surroundings were completely white. Chi Zhao was a little dazed. He called out, "System?"
[Yes, you're awake?]
Chi Zhao was stunned. He didn't remember what happened before falling unconscious, "Am I dead?"
[No, you are still in this world, alive and well.]
After a while, Chi Zhao began to see more clearly. Because his eyes couldn't adjust for a while, it was all white earlier but now it had slowly regained focus.
"Xiao An....Xiao An? Can you hear me?"
Chi Zhao turned his head to the side and saw Madam Shao's anxious and pleasantly surprised face. Chi Zhao opened his mouth, "Mum."
Madam Shao immediately burst into tears. This son of hers has really suffered too much. He was first threatened by rebels for half a year and then he was almost used as a human bomb. If it weren't for her eldest son arriving in time with the director, she may never see her youngest son again.
Madam Shao cried and said, "You have been in coma for half a month. Don't worry, the operation was successful. You will no longer be in danger anymore. Mum will never let you suffer again."
Madam Shao explained to him why he was able to still be alive. In fact, when Shao Zelin arrived, even he felt that he was too late and he planned to take the director and quickly leave but the director roared and staggered into a nearby small room.
That was Morris's laboratory. The director looked around with bright eyes before picking up a few bottles and jars and asking Shao Zelin to take him to Shao Ze'an. It could be said that if the director wasn't around, Shao Ze'an would be dead.
However, according to the director himself, this incident was also thanks to Morris giving them a small leeway. He had very considerately left the stopping agent on the table and it was difficult for the director to miss it. It was estimated that he probably wanted to give Shao Ze'an a chance to live but whether or not he could use it depended on Shao Ze'an's luck.
Morris had run into Louis on his way out and he had unfortunately died in Louis's hands. Chi Zhao looked around but couldn't see Louis anywhere. He couldn't help but frown. Madam Shao saw this and teased, "Looking for your brother? He's currently waiting for the verdict from the military court."

Chi Zhao was taking aback, "Verdict? For who?"
"Of course, it's for your brother. Abandoning his responsibilities and leaving without a warning, it's a very serious crime. If they punished him according to the original rules, he should be sentenced to at least ten years imprisonment."
Chi Zhao's eyes widened. Just as he was about to speak in surprise, he noticed that Madam Shao didn't appear worried at all. She had also used the words 'original rules' just now. Chi Zhao looked at her suspiciously, "What do you mean by original rules?"
Madam Shao laughed, "The new Emperor knew that he left to save you and was very touched so he said that he would be lenient on him this time. It is still not clear what punishment will be given but he definitely won't be sent to jail. He'll probably be suspended for a period of time."
During the time Chi Zhao was unconscious, the main star had gone through earth shattering changes. The original Emperor was killed by Alorin himself and the entire palace was upturned. With the publics support, the Emperor's younger brother became the new Emperor. This was the same as the original plotline. As for Alorin himself, he ran away again but this time he couldn't run far. With the rebels suffering great damage and their base camp seized, even if they could escape from the Empire's soldiers, they wouldn't be able to fight back any time soon.
Chi Zhao was more concerned about something else, "Where's Louis?"
Madam Shao sighed with a smile, "He's also in the military court. When your brother's verdict is passed, he will return with him. I haven't told them that you're awake because I'm worried that Louis would immediately rush out of the courtroom."
Chi Zhao blushed. He lowered his head and didn't speak anymore. Madam Shao affectionately rubbed his head, "My dear son, you should live on well with him."
Chi Zhao: "…."
The live broadcast from that day was seen by almost every soldier present through their smart brain and, after returning to the main star, these soldiers posted the video onto the Star Network. In just half a month, not to mention the Empire, even the neighbouring countries have seen this touching parting video. It was unknown who did it, but someone had cut out the last segment of Shao Zelin rushing in, so the video stopped when the two held each other tightly. Those who didn't know the full story thought the protagonists in the video had sacrificed themselves.
This was a real parting scene and it was more real than anything you could see in movies. It moved many people to tears.
The power of public opinion was very powerful. Almost everyone sympathised with Shao Ze'an one-sidedly and they could also tell that Shao Ze'an didn't actually betray the country from the exchange in the video. After returning to the main star, Louis took this opportunity to announce Shao Ze'an's spiritual power on the Star Network and also revealed everything he had done. All of a sudden, Shao Ze'an became a young hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the country.
Chi Zhao desolately asked the system, "Is there a possibility of fixing this situation?"
[What do you think? Morris is already dead.]
Chi Zhao: "..."
He really wanted to be like those cartoons and shout out to the sky.
Suddenly, the door to the ward opened and Louis and Shao Zelin entered one after another. The moment they saw Chi Zhao sitting at the head of the bed, they were both taken aback.
The next second, a black figure flashed before Chi Zhao's eyes. Before he could react, he found himself wrapped by a warm and solid body. Chi Zhao almost found it difficult to breathe from the embrace. After a while, he couldn't help but slowly relax his body.
Forget it.
Since it cannot be fixed, he should just enjoy it. Anyway, he had Louis with him so it wasn't a bad idea continuing on like this.
System: "....."
Why does it sound like another way of saying what's done is done….
The rest of their lives were spent peacefully and happily. Without the threat of the rebels, Chi Zhao could do whatever he wanted. Louis spend the first few years chasing after the rebels but once they were wiped out, he didn't have anything else to do.
This pair of husbands entered retirement early. Chi Zhao finally got rid of the bad luck of having to attend school constantly and instead started to bring others this bad luck.
....
Although Chi Zhao never learnt how to control his spiritual power, the knowledge taught by the system was more useful than any of the textbooks in this world. Chi Zhao then used this knowledge to teach more children and it didn't take long for him to gain the reputation of Professor Shao.
Professor Shao himself had no interest in teaching and educating people. It was just something he did to busy himself because he wanted to accompany his admiral husband who was still working in the military. When Louis felt that it was time for him to step back, he similarly resigned from his professor job and together they settled down on another beautiful planet.

And coincidentally, it was the planet Louis had mentioned to Chi Zhao before, Detara Star.
On the first day of moving to this planet, Chi Zhao who was enjoying the beautiful scenery suddenly remembered that in the original plotline, Louis had a second love but after living with Louis for so many years, he had never seen that person.
Chi Zhao couldn't help but ask about it. Louis frowned when he heard this question, "Jiang Shupei….Who's that?"
After thinking for a while, Louis managed to dig out the owner of that name from the depths of his memory. He answered casually, "There seemed to be someone like that. He was assigned to me ten years ago, but I felt he talked too much so I transferred him away during the second assignment. Why? Do you know him?"
Chi Zhao: "...…Don't know."
A lover in the plot but now a stranger. Even if he didn't fall in love with him, he also shouldn't have that much hostility towards him. Chi Zhao looked at Louis's profile and just silently smiled.
In this world, the first to leave was Chi Zhao. When he closed his eyes, Chi Zhao seemed to be able to feel Louis kissing his cheek. Warm tears fell onto his face and the damp sensation made him feel uncomfortable.
Chi Zhao's feeling for Louis wasn't very passionate, he never had the feeling of loving him to the ends of the world. The two of them just calmly went on with their lives, enjoying each other's company and lived a warm and fulfilling life. Chi Zhao originally thought that even if he left, he wouldn't be too emotional and would be able to calmly forget this love of his.
But in fact, Chi Zhao didn't want to leave. Once he left, he would continue with completing his other missions while Louis would stay here forever until the death of both his body and soul.
When he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry. He even felt that it would be better if he could truly die in this world. In any case, he had lived enough, and he was satisfied dying here together with Louis. To start together and end together with Louis, that sounded pretty good.
Sensing the changes to the host's mentality, the system didn't speak. It originally thought that it could allow the host to retain his feelings from this world, but it looked like that was no longer possible. It once again filtered out Chi Zhao's emotions and then stored those emotions into the same small box.
The wave of emotion quickly receded. When Chi Zhao opened his eyes again, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, but it also felt hollower.
Before, he was immediately be sent to another world once he was done with the first, but the system didn't do it this time.
[Wait here for a bit, I'm going to have a discussion with the main system. We have failed two worlds in a row. It has happened once and now twice but it must not happen a third time. The third world must be a success! I will definitely give you the simplest one!]
Chi Zhao was silent. He replied dispiritedly, "Okay."
Having had his emotions filtered out, the Chi Zhao now was in an apathetic sate. All he had on his mind was: So what? The first world was a novice world so it should be the easiest to complete but what was the result of that?
Data communication can be conducted at hundreds of thousands of words per second. The system had advised for Chi Zhao to wait a while but in fact the system returned after just three seconds and was also extremely excited.
[Hahahahahaha I love the main system daddy! This time it's absolutely guaranteed! Go go go! The plot point is within reach!]
Chi Zhao: "...." Alright, another crazy one.
The world changed and Chi Zhao felt a little dizzy. He stood up whilst swaying slightly and was able to recover a few seconds later. He was surprised, "I really no longer vomit!"
[That's right. Next time you might not even feel dizzy anymore.]
[This is a world I begged the main system daddy for a long time for and you can complete the plot points even while lying down so you don't need to do anything this time. Even if you fall for the protagonist again or the protagonist falls for you again, it doesn't matter. The plot is extremely stable and will never collapse!] (KKnotes: "Can complete the plot points even while lying down…" basically means that Chi Zhao can succeed even if he doesn't do anything/doesn't do much. The 'lying down' term will come up a few times in the future so just remember, it's not literally lying down, it just means that it's very easy.)
Chi Zhao didn't believe this, "It's that good? Then hurry and send the world information over for me to take a look."
The system swiftly sent over the world information and Chi Zhao quickly skimmed through the contents. Once done, he was finally able to understand what the system meant by a plot that would definitely not collapse.
He really didn't have to do anything because the original owner had already done everything that needed to be done. No matter what happens in the future, the grudge between himself and the protagonist had already formed so as long as the truth was revealed, the protagonist would want to strangle him to death.
The more Chi Zhao read, the more dumbfounded he was. In the end he blinked a few times and similarly started to laugh crazily like the system.
Chi Zhao: "Hahahahahahaha hurry, hurry and give me a kiss! What a smooth world, you really can clear it by just lying down! Let's not say too much, from today you are my system daddy! Daddy, what stage of the plot is it now? Should I go find the protagonist to show my presence?"
