In the void space, Xiahou Xuanyu opened his eyes. At this point, he could no longer be called Xiahou Xuanyu. He did not have a fixed name. Perhaps he had one before, but it had long been forgotten by him.

He styled himself a god, possessing an inextinguishable will and countless divine fragments. He could traverse myriad worlds, wantonly seizing their fortune to nourish himself.

"System, come out." This 'god' was extremely angry upon awakening.

"I want to enter that world again. I want to kill them."

The system appeared in a timely manner. "Apologies, you have already lost the connection to that world and cannot enter it again. Do you wish to trace that world to check on their current status?"

'God': "..."

The system automatically ran. "Ding, characters [Nangong Qin] [Xun] have achieved the 'Growing Old Together' accomplishment, the 'Roaming the World Hand-in-Hand' accomplishment, the 'Grandchildren Filling the Home' accomplishment..."

'God' angrily said, "Shut it off for me!"

He was so furious he wanted to destroy the world.

Generally speaking, when he wanted to seize the fortune of a certain world, there were requirements. One was the so-called "plot". The more twists and turns in the plot, the more fortune it could generate.

Making the plot develop according to his design could ensure the circulation of fortune. The "female lead" was his connection to that world. The female lead's "love" for him was the premise for him to absorb the fortune of that world.

"Because you personally killed the female lead in that world, it caused the world to reject you. Now your body in that world has died and you are completely unable to log into the world again."

'God' was silent for a while before suddenly saying, "I have successively lost two worlds already. This is definitely not a coincidence. Something is influencing my worlds. I must get to the bottom of it. If I'm not mistaken, the next abnormal world will appear soon. This time, I must find the reason."

"Ding - abnormal world has appeared. [Bingmao Immortal's World] has experienced a plot deviation."

'God's expression was cold and stern, eyes flashing with anger. "Good, awaken the inner persona."

...

Mount Youfu

The pure white jade palace floated in the air, towering over the dozen or so small islands surrounding it. It was the divine palace where the supreme god Xuan Cang resided alone. The divine attendants and lesser immortals had no qualifications to ascend to the palace.

In the vast and empty great hall, only Xuan Cang sat in the center of the jade platform, eyes closed in cultivation.

Suddenly, Xuan Cang's aura sharpened and he opened his eyes. At the same time, a panel appeared in front of him.

The persona of this world was cold and emotionless. The personalities of the divine fragments in each world differed based on their settings. Even if the main persona awakened, it would still be influenced. At this moment, Xuan Cang's eyes did not have the fury from when he was in the void space, only iciness and majesty.

"Investigate the plot deviation," he said coldly.

The system panel was silent for a moment before a bunch of garbled text appeared. "&*%*The female lead failed to successfully%#*become a disciple*&%..." As soon as it finished displaying, the system panel suddenly collapsed. At the same time, Xuan Cang's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

...

The 'god' who reappeared in the void was utterly exasperated. "What's going on? Why did I suddenly return when everything was fine?!"

"Regretfully informing you, that world is probably still unable to awaken the inner persona at the moment. The main persona cannot descend."

"What?!"

"In the previous world, you personally killed the female lead, damaging the world connection nexus. Therefore, the logout phenomenon occurred. It is currently under repair. Please wait patiently for the repair to complete."

(End of short story)

Author's note:

This original novel's male lead, the god among male leads in classic romance novels, can be called Cui Cui.

In the next story, a classic master-disciple romance gone wrong, the second male lead... I don't know whether to call him a pervert or a monster.
