Chapter 443 - 9.62 Second Blue Star - Dream God
Hearing the title of the Strongest Ghost King, all three of them were rendered speechless. The possessor of that title is a deviant being who defied the Heavenly Will itself. Even though he had become the strongest being in their world he had also become the only banished existence by the heavens.
He was imprisoned in his own palace. The heavenly will wouldn't let him out unless his desires were fulfilled. It was this desire that made him decide that he wouldn't leave the Mortal Realm. His reason is vague, he told the heavens that he is waiting for someone and he wouldn't leave unless that person had returned to his side.
He agreed to be stripped of his physical vessel yet his qi was retained. With his cultivation still, there he should be able to rebuild his vessel once he reached a strength beyond God's state. But when Ye Xiajie took over his role, as a being from a higher realm the purity and strength of his soul are beyond the control of this planet's heavenly will. This is why he is able to repair his body as easily as breathing and after he married Xue Hua the remaining restrictions on himself had also disappeared.
The God of Void on the other hand had reached another level of strength when he ate a god being like Feng Houye he immediately removed his restrictions as well. Now he could leave this planet as his strength has slowly returned which is paralleled synchronized with Ye Xiajie the other dominant soul.
They felt terrified of the blurred existence of the Ghost King. His notorious reputation in both realms is widely spread. His legend is unforgettable and even the current generation of Young Gods and Goddesses fear his existence.
But how would the residents of the Upper Realm know that the immovable beings in the mortal realm didn't number as one but at least six and all of them were outsider souls who came from a higher realm world?
Gui Se spoke, "If it is indeed the Ghost King then... Of course~ we have to check it personally~ A legendary existence ka? How many hundreds of years had already passed? Would he still be as strong as he was in his prime or... Would he die being besieged by the four great mythical clans of the Upper Realm? How interesting~"
"Isn't it dangerous? Are we gonna bring the elders to descend to the Human World with us? That's embarrassing!" complained Bai Yu. Even though he is simple-minded his pride as an heir is still intact.
Long Yi spoke, "We will scout alone. Check whether that said legend exists and if he does then... Gather information on his current strength. If it's beyond us, summoning our clan wouldn't be too late. After even if the Mortal Realm is destroyed it can be repaired again."
"Are we leaving as soon as possible?" asked Gui Se.
"Complete your own preparations. We will descend in three days. Gather everything needed. It's better to prepare for the worst." said Long Yi before taking his leave.
He had finished his part and they already completed their conversation. The two who were left behind had their own conversation. Se'er once again came out as the bully is no longer around.
"Sigh~ Brother Yi didn't even care what happened to his fiancé at all ba~ Poor Ye'er his future husband does care about him at all~," said Gui Se.
Beside him, he noticed that Bai Yu was about to explode in anger and envy. He likes Feng Houye the most. It was just admiration in the beginning as they were childhood friends. Thinking that they would be childhood sweethearts when they got into age, Feng Houye was suddenly bestowed with an arranged marriage. It was one that cannot be declined as the other party was the strongest among the four mythical races.
Gui Se's family intelligence reports were all real. As the controller of the Underworld ghost wouldn't be able to lie to a member with the bloodline of the Black Turtle. The ghosts who appeared in the Underworld were beings that died in the Mortal and Upper Realm.
The heavenly laws had given the four mythical clans a role in the world. The Black turtle clan controls the dead. The White Tiger clan protects the Upper Realm. The Dragon Clan rules which the Phoenix Clan supports.
Bai Yu hit the table with his fist destroying everything on it including the stone table. Gui Se had long expected this kind of reaction and stopped leaning on the table before it was broken to pieces.
"Why is he Ye'er's fiancé when I am the one who grew up with Ye'er!? He even cursed Ye'er to die. Why is he so sure that he is dead!? I don't believe this! I will definitely find Ye'er in the Mortal Realm!" said Bai Yu as he also walks away.
"Hey, don't forget. We are too near the boundary gates in three days!" said Gui Se.
"I know. Dammit!" replied Bai Yu from a distance.
Gui Se mumbled, "One is interested in looking for a golden soul while the other is looking for a dead person. They are so funny, Guigui, ah~" This is se'er speaking.
Gui was replying, "Se'er don't be playful."
"Why couldn't I do so? Did that stupid lizard think that a Golden Soul can be easily touched? What does a golden-colored soul portray? It means high merits. Only True Gods have the purest golden soul~ but he wants to possess one~" said Se'er.
Gui, "What do they know? After all, we only knew thanks to our bloodline's special abilities to see through merits. It's our black turtle clan's responsibility to control the soul and their rebirth."
"True~ I wonder what that lizard would do if he met a real True God. Hehehe~ would he still be arrogant on the brink of death~ ah I can't wait to see ba~" said Se'er.
"Indeed. The Dragons had been planning ascension beyond this world. There is no way they would let go of the opportunity to get a golden soul to their side. Though the problem is whether... They would be able to move that Lord or not~" said Gui Se.

Mortal Realm.
Ancient Palace of the Ghost King.
Master's Bedroom.
Hei Anjing woke up within the tight embrace of his husband. He was about to peel off the arm wrapped around his shoulder and waist when he saw Ye Xiajie gritting his teeth in his sleep. On his handsome face is a deep frown as if experiencing something tormenting, his face and the whole body are covered in cold sweats.
There would be a groan coming out of his mouth unconsciously while dreaming. There is a black circle tracing under his eyes which obviously means that this man hasn't slept properly for a long time. He must have woken up several times last night and even his sleep this time is being disturbed by a nightmare.
"Is he having a nightmare? But who could do so? He is a God-like me no less." said Hei Anjing.
He checked his husband's soul domain and saw a dream creature called Alu. It is a vengeful spirit that terrorized humans causing unconscious coma, nightmares, and sleep paralysis. Within his husband's soul domain, the scenery is the same as always. It was surrounded by darkness and the surrounding was full of fire wisps. At the center, a white leaf tree can be found. Only this huge white tree illuminates the darkness within the domain. If one gets closer to the tree, one would realize why the leaves are white. The reason why it was white isn't because of its color itself but because its leaves were made in ice and snow.
At this moment that white tree was surrounded by small black clouds, these clouds aren't ordinary clouds but ones that can only be found in the Realms of Dream. It is a nightmare cloud used by Dream Creatures to give their target a scary dream or a nightmare itself. The cute rat-like creature was spreading those nightmare clouds within the domain. He was pulling it from his body like it was a part of himself.
"Boohoo~ Dream God is a demon. How could this Ghost King still wake up if we give him these many nightmares? He would go crazy if this continues. Sigh~ whatever let's just finish the job and go back to the dream world to eat delicious dreams instead." mumbled the rat-like dream creature.
Hei Anjing recognized what kind of creature an Alu is. 'Alu? This is a dream creature that gives nightmares. But these kinds of creatures were under that person, why would it suddenly appear here?' his thoughts.
In Vearth there is only one person he knew who could control the Dream Realm. This guy happened to be his cousin from his Uncle Baojun's side. He is Mo Yaolan the second son of his Uncle Baojun and Uncle Shen Siwang. Even though their Mo family is lazy and cold-hearted by nature, Mo Yaolan can be considered the laziest in their family.
He loves to sleep most of the time and because of this, the Dream Realm was given by his Uncle Baojun for him to control. Whether it was nightmares, sweet dreams, or prophetic dreams, it was under his control. He can be given endless nightmares forever as long as he wishes to. As he is the God of Dreams of Vearth.
Hei Anjing grabbed the Alu leaving nightmares within his husband's soul domain. There's a cold look on his face and his facial features were so familiar for the Alu creature.
Hei Anjing said, "Did you have enough fun already?"
"Hih! Human? No. Humans are not able to enter someone else's soul domain. Even a God couldn't help... You look so familiar... Especially those phoenix-shaped eyes... So extremely alike... Right so much like our Dream God?" mumbled the Alu as he let himself hang under the clutches of Hei Anjing.
In the Soul Domain, the original appearance of the soul can be seen. So at this moment, Hei Anjing's appearance is not that of Xue Hua but his real face. The distinct phoenix-shaped eyes that their bloodline possesses. He was currently using his God form and his light chocolate long brown hair flutters behind his back and his silver eyes were cold and aloof as he looks down on the dream creature in his hands.
Hei Anjing spoke, "Tell me. Why is Lanlan playing around with my husband's dream realm? If you don't, this Deity will erase your existence."
The similar icy tone of Hei Anjing made the Alu Creature realize that his Dream God had some connection to this person. Not only their look-alike, but that cold demeanor there is also the same as well. Plus this beautiful man called his Dream God, Lanlan. The name of his Master is Mo Yaolan. Calling his Dream God intimately as Lanlan meant this man is a family member of that scary clan.
The Alu creature trembles in fear and he didn't dare meet those argent orbs whose shade is similar to that of Moonlight.
"V-Venerable Lord... Please... Spare this little rat's life. This little one is only following orders from the Dream God. Boohoo~" said Alu.
Hei Anjing's eyebrow raised a glance at the shivering dream creature, "Lanlan ordered you? You can contact him, right? Call him now. I want to speak to him."
NODS~
The Alu creature nods his head like a pecking chicken and controls some dream clouds creating a communication transmission that had the effect of a Video Call. The Alu called for his Dream God and it only took a few minutes for a figure in navy blue rabbit onesies pajamas to appear on the cloud screen.
This young man has the familiar blue shade irises and phoenix-shaped eyes like Hei Anjing. The only difference is that his hair color is silver and a languid expression is evident on his face. His eyes groggily open and only half can be seen. This young man's features were cold and lazy but his demeanor is so alike to Hei Anjing when he is bored. This is Mo Yaolan, the Ruler God's second son and the God of Dreams.
[Yawns* You are disturbing my sleep. If your report is useless I will turn you into candy and eat you Alu~]
Spoken by the Dream God who didn't notice Hei Anjing's appearance on his screen.. Mo Yaolan still hasn't noticed the anger on his family's face.
