Chapter 374 - 8.99 First Blue Star - Farewell
After his mortal vessel had been destroyed, Hei Anjing could only use his capabilities to materialize his soul. Since he is a God himself, this kind of thing can be easily done. He emerged in the Mortal World in his God form and it was witnessed by everyone.
Hei Anjing in his God Form felt that his soul is restrained. Without the original resident's vessel to protect his soul, he felt the rejection of the world. He is after all an outsider.
Hei Lian who was still gloating at Hei Anjing a few moments ago suddenly froze upon seeing this God of Destruction's appearance. As if it was instinct, just seeing Hei Anjing's real appearance makes her afraid. She tried to run away in fear.
But in the presence of this God of Destruction, running away is not possible. Before she could even move, Hei Anjing already reached out his hands towards her and instantly pulled out her soul from her current vessel. With that everyone just saw a transparent figure of a woman grabbed out of the Empress's body.
The empty vessel fell on the floor like a broken puppet whose strings were cut off. With Hei Anjing holding on to Hei Lian's soul, everyone can see her because of the former's power. He stared at the struggling Hei Lian within his grip with expressionless face yet icy glare.
"Don't worry I won't kill you yet. To die after angering me so much is just too easy for you," said Hei Anjing.
Hei Lian trembles when she hears those words. She thought that her death would be instant the moment she angered this monster but it seems that itself is a dream. She saw him pull out a soul prison full of black flames inside.
Even she knows what kind of flames they are. Hell flame, this the most powerful flame in the world. It could instantly turn someone into ashes but at the same time, it was popular to be used as torture flames as it could burn the soul without completely destroying it as long the owner didn't want the target to suddenly die.
Burning a soul using this black flame is like endless torture. Extremely painful and everlasting. Hei Lian struggled more upon seeing this soul prison full of that special flames but as a soul what she could do.
"H-Hell Flames!? N-No...NO. NO!!!" Exclaimed Hei Lian in terror upon seeing that familiar-looking black fire.
An evil smirk was found at the corner of Hei Anjing's lips and whispered, "I told you right? I will not let you die so easily~."
"AAHHHH NO... IT HURTS... AAAHHH, MY SOUL... IT BURNS... GYAAAA~"
Hei Anjing put her soul inside and imprisoned her in. As soon as the hell flames touched her soul, Hei Lian felt what it was like to jump and bathe in a pool of boiling magma. Her agonizing screams echo in the ears of those who have heard it. Making those who heard hee painful yells a reminder that this person is indeed an immortal being.
At the Star Network,
[What happened!? Lord Jing disappeared! Who is this... Person!?]
[We saw it. We saw it right?! He pulled a person's soul out of the Empress's body but it doesn't look like the Empress at all!!!]
[Did someone take over the Empress's body!? Impossible... I didn't guess it correctly right?]
[Don't say such a creepy thing. If the Empress was replaced doesn't that mean everyone in the Imperial Clan did!?]
[Who replaced them? This is so scary~]
[Am I the only one who wanted to know who this Immortal who came out from Feng Jing's vessel was!?]
[Shut up! We are only trying to avoid this topic. This venerate seems to be a real Immortal. Can't you see his clothing!]
---
In the Oberion Empire,
Feng Clan's Mansion.
The elders and parents of Feng Jing were astonished by what they had witnessed. They had suffered roller coaster-like emotions upon watching the scenes that just happened. The impact of the Marshal's death was great but the sudden appearance of Hei Anjing was more surprising than anything.
When Old Master Feng Xuan saw his argent eyes which is like that was mentioned in the prophecy. They finally understood its meaning. There are gods residing inside Feng Jing's vessel and maybe inside the Marshal as well.
Old Master Feng Xuan mumbled, "Silver eyes... Is he the God of Destruction?"
Xue Xia who just came back from the temple, "There are three eggs inside the Ancestral Temple and... An unknown person with long obsidian hair and dark eyes. He was wearing the same clothing as that man on Planet Citlali does but it was overall black and red.
He at first ignored me when I tried to talk to him. But for some reason when I asked him why he was there he replied. He said, 'This Lord had returned the vessel of that marshal. He would be reborn as him. When this lord meets the one I wanted to see then I shall also take my leave.' That's what he said." story Xue Xia.
Lieutenant General Altair asked, "Returned the vessel? Does that mean the ones with us in these few months are them and not the real Sirius and Xiao Jing?"
Feng Tian responded, "No... They are but at the same time not. They borrowed the vessel but not without permission. Sirius and Feng Jing might have let them use their bodies for a while. No wonder their capabilities were beyond SSS-ranked and immeasurable. This was because the soul inside is that of a God."
"Three eggs. Does that mean the real Sirius and My darling had entered rebirth? Once they wake up they pursue our real children and not God?" asked Feng (Navi) Luna in confusion.
Mrs. Altair said, "Must be... Since the children are safe doesn't that mean God really can overtake someone's vessels? The one inside Empress Adhara's body, it doesn't seem like a zerg but a real human figure. Is that a God as well? Does this mean that the souls inside the bodies of the Imperial Family were all Gods as well!?"
Once this topic was pointed out, everyone inside the room remained silent. They thought that the vessels of the Royal family were taken over by an alien parasitic race but who would have thought that Gods took over instead. As mortals, could they even defeat a God?
While talking about this they had heard the sound of space swirling and under their naked eyes, a certain area of an empty space distorted. They were all on guard upon seeing such a magical scene. Within the distortion, Hei Anjing came out. Once his feet have left the space distortion they resume their usual state and the surroundings return to normal.
Feng Xuan and the rest instantly recognized who had suddenly appeared. They've all respectfully lowered their heads and greeted the Immortal one before them.
"Greetings to the Venerable Immortal!"
Hei Anjing waves his hands once, making the rest of them stop lowering their backs. Then a cold yet mellow voice was heard coming from his mouth.
"No need for such formality this deity is not going to stay for long. I dropped by to say a few things for your families. It was Feng Jing who had called me here. The truth of this world is something that a child has experienced more than once. You didn't notice that this world had been in a loop before this deity had descended. I think it is better to show instead of saying it in words," said Hei Aning as he showed them the real plot of this world before he came.
In the original world setting, Feng Jing caused the annihilation of his clan and family. After the death of the Marshal, the Altair Family was stripped of every power until the Altair couple was suppressed to the point of death.
In this plot, the main protagonists are Bai Yuyan and Drake Izar. The elders watched the scenes in their heads like a film and only then they had understood the meaning of this God's words. They were shocked to the point of speechlessness.
Feng Tian spoke, "Is this the truth of this world?"
"Did these things really happen?" asked Lieutenant General Altair politely.
Hei Anjing answered, "Yes. But each time the world was reset. All your memories were erased as well. Feng Jing is the only exception as he possessed the purest bloodline of the phoenix. His memories weren't complete but he understands some of them.
Normally, when this deity descends I can only be a vessel whose soul has left completely. In this world, my soul is compatible with Feng Jing's body but he wasn't dead when I took over. Instead, he had fully lent his body to me in exchange for two wishes."
Feng (Navi) Luna asked, "Two wishes? What did my son wish for?"
"To marry in the name of love and... to keep you guys safe and happy by his side," replied Hei Anjing.
When they heard the wishes Feng Jing had asked of the God in front of them they couldn't help but feel a heartache. These were just simple wishes but unfortunately, they weren't able to give it to the boy due to the circumstances in those past versions of their past memories.
Hei Anjing, "Feng Jing didn't really want to marry someone he doesn't love. As you had witnessed, the soul inside the Marshal's body is like me. He is the one Xiao Yeye had met at the temple. After Feng Jing and Altair Sirius enter rebirth, they would be unlike the rest without memories, they would have what they should have.
The strength we possess in their bodies was their real potential. Those two have the opportunity to ascend in the future. The choice was left for them. As for the mark, my husband left it erased as well. That mark was intended for me, not for Feng Jing. Once those two wake up, let them decide whom they wish to be with and allow them to marry for love."
Everyone finally understands why this Venerable being appeared before them. He was here to say his goodbye.
Feng Xuan asks, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes. Without a vessel, I cannot stay. After I cleaned up those fools hiding in the Imperial Palace I would be taking my leave as well. But don't worry even after y6 leaves the world plot wouldn't return to normal. Since I've already destroyed it, everyone is free to continue their current lives.
By the way, the rest of the soldiers who joined the war would be directly teleported here. You guys should welcome them instead. I've also left my blessings to the Feng Clan. Every time you enter rebirth the choice to keep or erase your memories would be on you.
I've given System Etoile to you. That is something helpful that would allow your world and everything in it to evolve. It was a bit short but the time we had spent together was fun.
Oh yes before I forgot, give her body to Brother Zenith. Let her rest in the place her son has chosen. Her soul had longed entered reincarnation. She would have a better life in her next." said Hei Anjing as an ice coffin keeping the body of Empress Adhara enclosed appeared in thin air.
Hei Anjing was about to leave when he felt his robe sleeves being grabbed. When he turned around he saw the only two females in the room holding on to his clothes.
The gentle smile on his face is similar to the ones he shows to them when using Feng Jing's body. It had the usual bewitching effect but the two ladies were used to it and didn't get charmed.
Feng (Navi) Luna mumbled, "Name..."
"Can you please tell us your real name?" asked Mrs. Altair.
He chuckles with hints of pampering towards a family. Even though it was short, Hei Anjing indeed had treated them like how he does to his real one. He is always kind to those he had taken a liking to.
"My surname is Hei and my name is Anjing. The God of Destruction of all realms. I had fun staying here... as your son... and your family... Farewell~"
Only the fading visage of Hei Anjing's gentle smile was left behind.. The Feng and Altair Families would forever remember this Deviant God who had to save them.
