Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 61 (FINALE )
This world is an inescapable dead end.
The moment Feng Jiying brushed past Gu Qiqi, she instantly understood this truth.
The scenes played by the system were the past repeated cycles, over and over again.
She, Gu Qiqi, and everyone else were trapped in this game.
The only difference was that she and Gu Qiqi were the protagonists of this story.
To protect Gu Qiqi, she couldn’t be with her.
Even if she disrupted the timeline, she had once met a young Gu Qiqi it changed nothing.
Gu Qiqi’s fate had been altered because of her, and she, too, had changed because of Gu Qiqi.
Yet despite it all,
her heart still felt as if it had been torn apart.
Countless cycles of reincarnation.
So much time spent unable to love in moments without memory, only to remember just as separation arrived.
Feng Jiying was overwhelmed by a deep sense of helplessness.
Her fingers twitched slightly, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.
With great difficulty, she turned around to look at Gu Qiqi’s retreating figure.
Those usually cold and indifferent phoenix eyes now burned with unwavering resolve.
For some reason, Xiao Bai felt a sudden jolt of alarm, an ominous premonition.
“President Feng…”
Feng Jiying clutched her chest and suddenly coughed up blood.
Xiao Bai couldn’t suppress a gasp.
Feng Jiying shook her head faintly, her body stiffening as if she were on the verge of shattering.
“Keep an eye on Zhao Zhongtian.”
Every word was labored, as though she were delivering her last words.
At this moment, Feng Jiying finally understood.
Watching Gu Qiqi walk toward Wen Rui,
her heart still ached as if swarmed by ants gnawing at her flesh.
Jealousy clawed at her mind, but she forced down the fury, letting cold rationality take control.
Understanding didn’t mean she was free from jealousy or resentment.
The memories she had retrieved from the system made her realize everything she had done was only to ensure Gu Qiqi could live a better life.
Even if that life was in a world without her.
“Confine Zhao Zhongtian. Make sure no one can find him. Ensure he never has a chance to rise again but also guarantee his safety. He must not die.”
“Don’t let the Gu family learn of Gu Qiqi’s true identity. I don’t want her dragged into any more conflicts.”
“Leave everything I have to Gu Qiqi, even if she doesn’t need it.”
“You may take 10% of my entire fortune. You’ve worked hard all these years.”
Xiao Bai’s pupils dilated.
Because she saw Feng Jiying remove the terminal from her wrist.
Only those from Central City were qualified to possess a terminal not only did it represent one’s identity, but it also monitored the vital signs of its wearer.
The terminal was connected to the human brain. If forcibly removed, not only would the identity data be erased, but the life itself would.
Xiao Bai didn’t understand why Feng Jiying would do this.
Gu Qiqi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.
As if a thousand blades had carved into her heart, the agony was bone-deep.
Something she didn’t know yet was the most important to her was slipping away.
In the ABO world, pheromones dictated everything. Alphas held absolute dominance. No matter how strong an omega was, they would still be reduced to playthings under an alpha’s control.
The moment Omega learned about their post-differentiation gender, they already foresaw their own fate.
Yet no matter how unwilling, there was nothing they could do to change it.
Feng Jiying removed the terminal deeply embedded in the vein of her wrist.
Blood streamed down her slender arm.
Her cold lips curved into a meaningless smile.
Just then, Gu Qiqi suddenly turned around.
She saw Feng Jiying, appearing almost deranged yet with unnaturally calm, resolute eyes.
When Feng Jiying noticed Gu Qiqi turning, a faint glimmer of amusement surfaced in her gaze.
With barely any strength, she weakly mouthed three words.
“I love you.”
Gu Qiqi… I love you.
Even if this world is a false cycle, even if we exist in nothingness.
Even if I forget you again and again, even if our first meeting wasn’t beautiful. I would still fall in love with you with everything I have, even my life. I love you.
If this was always meant to be a dead end.
Then Feng Jiying would break it with her own body.
Gu Qiqi’s headache worsened.
“Feng Jiying…”
Instinctively, she reached out toward Feng Jiying, trying to rush forward, but stumbled and fell to the ground.
Why would Feng Jiying do this?
Didn’t she hate her?
Weren’t Feng Jiying’s love and kindness all fake?
A carefully crafted deception.
Gu Qiqi’s head throbbed violently.
She watched as Feng Jiying, lips slightly curved, gazed at her tenderly.
Her delicate figure, like a shattered butterfly, collapsed lightly into Xiao Bai’s arms.
As Feng Jiying’s vital signs faded, fluctuations appeared in the border zone.
The ground began to crack, mountains shook violently, and trees toppled.
Stones rained down from the cave entrance before them.
Wen Rui moved to help Gu Qiqi up, but was refused.
Gu Qiqi’s mind was in chaos.
She couldn’t accept the sight of Feng Jiying’s lifeless body.
Long-absent bullet comments suddenly scrolled across her vision:
[What’s this? The game system glitching? It’s supposed to be an adult game, not some pure love story, how did the plot turn out like this?]
[Are we sure the characters aren’t OOC? This is completely different from the original setup. Wasn’t it supposed to be 1v3? Now it’s 1v1?]
[Who puts pure love in a late-night game? Seriously. Isn’t this rated 18+? Does the protagonist have to be so noble?]
[Did some parents report it again? Can kids just stay away?]
Gu Qiqi bit her lower lip.
Yes, she knew. She’d known from the start this was just a game world. She was merely a disposable side character.
To the players controlling the game, they were like gods.
While her life was as insignificant as an ant’s.
Gu Qiqi refused to accept it. She just wanted to survive was that so wrong?
Even amid the apocalyptic chaos, she kept crawling toward Feng Jiying.
Perhaps only in absolute turmoil does one truly understand the feeling of rebirth through desperation.
Feng Jiying was just a game character, she hadn’t broken free like Gu Qiqi. So why sacrifice herself?
[System: Congratulations, host. Mission complete.]
“What mission? What even is this world?”
Wen Shui and Xiao Bai seemed frozen in place, as if devoid of emotion mere preset NPCs in a game.
[System: Host, even when a game world repeats endlessly, it may accidentally develop its own magnetic field and give rise to life.]
[System: As a shallow, low-quality adult game focused solely on certain pleasures, having been repeated millions of times though your role in the game is minor, you’re the pivotal node for the entire storyline. Thus, you were chosen as the first to awaken consciousness. But this doesn’t mean the game timeline only began operating after your awakening.]
Gu Qiqin’s index finger touched the tips of Feng Jiying’s fingers.
The world froze at this moment. Everything around them stopped no wind, no passage of time, as if even the air had solidified.
Upon contact, everything Feng Jiying had experienced and seen through the system flooded into Gu Qiqin’s mind.
[System: Since this game world was born from vulgar settings, overturning it requires unwavering love. But in this ABO world where pheromones dictate emotions, there’s no true love, only fleeting passion.]
Gu Qiqin’s throat burned with dryness. The silence around her was deafening, yet her ears rang incessantly.
“How many times has Feng Jiying awakened, compared to my single awakening?”
[System: Over a hundred times.]
“So in all these trial cycles, only this time did I fall in love with her.”
[System: Correct, Host. Despite Feng Jiying dying hundreds of times, only now have you truly loved her.]
Gu Qiqin’s eyes stung unbearably.
With trembling hands, she caressed Feng Jiying’s face, gently wiping away the blood at the corner of her mouth with her knuckles. “She was always so particular about cleanliness. So devoted to her ambitions and ideals. Yet she abandoned everything she’d protected so fiercely the moment she learned the truth.”
“Why didn’t you feel even a shred of resentment, Feng Jiying? You utter fool.”
A tear escaped Gu Qiqin’s eye, landing on Feng Jiying’s cheek. She frantically wiped it away. “If you claimed to love me, why leave me? Wake up! You knew the answer from the beginning, why not tell me? Why bear this alone?”
“What meaning does a world without you hold for me?”
“I never wanted wealth or fame, just a quiet life in some secluded place. To live peacefully with the one I love.”
[System: Congratulations, Host. Mission accomplished. You’ve earned the right to survive. Will you leave this world?
You may erase all memories of this world and assume a new identity elsewhere.]
Clutching Feng Jiying’s body, Gu Qiqin asked, “Is this the only way for your system to break free from the original world’s control? To reclaim a world with self-awareness?”
[System: Host, you’ve already completed the mission. Why overthink things? After all you’ve been through, you should know love is the least worthwhile. Since someone has chosen to let you live, you should cherish this opportunity.]
Gu Qiqing replied indifferently, “If I die, will this world cease to exist?”
“Only two people awakened the system me and Feng Jiying. Feng Jiying died, fulfilling the mission you wanted accomplished. Yet I’m still alive, the world continues to deviate from the main plot, and I’ve been exiled to a new world, leaving this old one entirely in your hands.”
“So cycle after cycle, even if Feng Jiying dies, as long as I don’t fall in love with her, you’ll just revive her.”
“I won’t go to the new world. I want Feng Jiying back by my side.”
[System: Host, please reconsider. Even if Feng Jiying returns, she may lose all her memories. This world will turn into a wasteland no system, no life. Only you and Feng Jiying will remain. Even then, do you still insist?]
Gu Qiqing was resolute. “I want Feng Jiying back.”
The system didn’t understand what it meant for two hearts to beat as one, for love to be mutual.
Cycle after cycle, it watched as Gu Qiqing and Feng Jiying moved toward each other at different points in time, only to pass by again and again.
Even in passion-driven games, there were words disguised as deep affection.
Love knows no bounds mountains and seas can be crossed.
Gu Qiqing: “I want Feng Jiying back by my side.”
The cracked earth began to mend. Broken fragments of mountains reassembled. Fallen trees stood tall once more. Dark clouds and clear skies shifted rapidly overhead.
[System: Understood, Host.]
The emotionless mechanical voice gave one last, crumbling reminder:
True love can transcend time and space.
Gu Qiqing felt warmth returning to her body, as if life itself was flowing back into her.
When she opened her eyes again.
Feng Jiying’s lips curled slightly, her expression as cool as ever, but her eyes brimmed with unconcealed love.
“Gu Qiqing, I love you.”
All strength left Gu Qiqing’s body. Her heart eased, yet her legs inexplicably gave way.
Feng Jiying stepped forward and caught her in an embrace.
Gu Qiqing: “I wonder what roles we’re playing this time, what the story is?”
Feng Jiying: “Gu Qiqing will always be Feng Jiying’s wife, her beloved, together in this life and the next, through death and rebirth.”
Under the bright sun, the crowd bustled around them.
NPCs whispered among themselves, “Isn’t that President Gu and her fiancée from the countryside? Rumor has it Gu despises her, why are they hugging?”
“Guess the rumors were wrong. Better not bully that Feng girl anymore.”
“But what about Miss Wen and Miss Liu? They swore they’d marry no one but President Gu!”
“What era is this already? What’s wrong with same-sex love? It’s completely legal. That Zhao Zhongtian is just a perverted creep, good thing they reported him and got him locked up. Let him rot in there forever! How dare he accuse our CEO Gu of forcing him? If he can’t find a mirror, he should at least check his own piss. Talk about delusional.”
A faint smile curled at the corner of Gu Qiqis lips. “I’m rather fond of this fresh persona.”
Feng Jiying pressed a kiss to her earlobe. “Me too.”
A gentle breeze passed by, carrying with it the tranquility of time.
Their eyes could no longer hold space for anyone else only each other.
At last, they could be together forever and always.
