Chapter 466 - 9.85 Second Blue Star - Ruined World [End]
A few hours ago.
Kitchen Area.
Ye Xiajie was having a conversation with Ou Ya. The topic was at first about Vearth, God System, and Nether System. The latter keeps asking for details and the ghost king knows that his curiosity is born due to learning the truth of his own world. Xue Yan would most likely tell them everything they need to know about this planet. The difference between each world. About the original residence playing major roles in the plot of the world and their own roles in accordance to the choice of the heavenly laws that stabilized this world
Though those heavenly laws themselves were eaten by Xia Jieye to increase his strength it didn't matter as their wife had allowed it. Hei Anjing is after all still one of the beings that has full authority with regards to the other world connected to Vearth. He had enough standing to allow one what he should do or shouldn't be doing. As his maternal clan is one who leads the realms itself.
At first, Ye Xiajie didn't think that there was a problem with Ou Ya. Though some of his questions were weird, he never asked a personal one about their identities. The one question that seems personal is when he teases him about his relationship with his wife.
Ou Ya with a bright smile on his face asked, "So~ Your Highness, how did you meet your wife for the first time?"
"I don't remember my past life but according to what Xia Jieye had said it seems that we met when he was first born. The attraction began when they first met," said Ye Xiajie.
Ou Ya asked, "Uwa~ Your Majesty, are you a pedophile?"
"How do you want to die?" asked Ye Xiajie, holding up the sharp knife on his head and looking menacingly at Ou Ya.
The obscured glint of the knife shows the sharpness and danger it can show when wielded. Ou Ya instinctively back away seeing that.
"Whoa~ easy there, You Majestic. This humble servant is only joking. I'm just kidding around. Hehehe~"
Snorted! After showing a disdainful expression on his face Ye Xiajie resumed his knife techniques to continue cooking. There's a sudden awkwardness in the room. Ou Ya also took away the vegetables from the sink as he finished washing them. He went beside Ye Xiajie and started his other tasks like mincing and cutting some vegetables.
Ou Ya shamelessly restarted a conversation, "Your Majesty can I ask a serious question?"
"... I am not a counselor. Ask Xue Yan for advice."
"Hehe~ I want to know your answer too. So can I?"
"Tsk! Go ahead. Rarely humans nowadays don't know fear."
"Well~ hehe, You Majesty. If given a choice between the life of your savior and the life of your loved one, who should be chosen?" asked Ou Ya.
It was only for a moment but the moving knife in Ye Xiajie's hands halted for a split second before restarted cleaning up the pile of seafood beside him.
Ye Xiajie then replied, "This is a ridiculous question for me but for others, it is quite a thing to answer. For me, there is nothing more important than my wife. Whether it is my life, my friends, my power, and my everything, My Jing'er can never be compared to those. Even if I become the most hated being in the universe my top priority would forever be my wife.
The answer differs from others. A choice is something one must make on their own. The one who would bear what would happen afterward would still be you in the end. Then it is only right to choose what you think is more important to you. Choose the one you like and would never care for regret. This is my answer."
"...." Ou Ya didn't react to the Ghost King's reply right away. He put down his knife and headed back to the sink to wash his face. Ye Xiajie didn't comment nor care for his reaction. They both stayed silent as they resumed their tasks with an even more awkward atmosphere in the kitchen.
With his back facing Ou Ya, Ye Xiajie continues to clean the shrimp and removes its guts. Unless the shrimps weren't clean properly a bitter taste would be left as an aftertaste. He heard the flowing water behind him stop. He didn't know what Ou Ya was doing but he seemed to be done with water.
Ye Xiajie ordered, "If you're done mopping there, go back to cut the vegetables again!"
"Ah, Yes. Please wait, I can't find a towel to wipe my hands and face. Hm, where is it?" said Ou Ya.
Sighed!
"It's in the cabinet near the cup...board...?!!!"
STABBED!
Annoyed by his slowness Ye Xiajie turned around to help him point out where the towels were, only to feel a pain in his heart and stared at the black dagger in Ou Ya's hand. He used the dagger to stab him directly in his heart. To cook for his wife, the Ghost King had materialized a human body. This would allow him to touch the things in the kitchen so this body he has right now is his real vessel in this world. Once his vessel died, he would also perish.
A trail of blood strolls down in the corner of his lips. He glared at Ou Ya with disbelief and astonishment within his widened eyes.
"YOU...!!!?" Coughs~
A hurt and grievous expression appeared on Ou Ya's face. l as he stares at the bloodless face of the man in front of him. His eyes were full of guilt yet determination. He looks like he just made a choice and this choice is too painful for him to make.
"I'm sorry. He said he would use my own body to kill my lover, A'Ye. If I do not do this that man would kill A'Ye. You told me to choose something I wanted even if I regret it. I do not want for A'Ye to die... So, you can only die Lord Ye Xiajie." said Ou Ya.
In his blurring sight, Ye Xiajie saw the round irises of Ou Ya turned slit like an inhuman being. There are some red streaks evident within his eyes, only a Yaoguai would have this kind of eyes.
"A Yaoguai?" murmured Ye Xiajie.
Within his mind, the varying faces of his wife from the world they had to spend together had flashed within. He would be smiling and then pouting. Suddenly being playful then getting angry out of nowhere. Being murderous then suddenly crying. A bubbling emotion called regret sprouted within Ye Xiajie's heart. The appearance of his beloved's face slowly fades like a popping bubble.
His last thoughts were, 'Ah~ He is going to cry again~'
He felt his sight turn black, he was slowly falling into the darkness known as death. But this feeling didn't make Ye Xiajie panic. Instead, he felt calmer and more relaxed than usual. As if this abyss is his home itself. He suddenly fell asleep. Just before he fell in slumber a sudden streak of white flames appeared in the darkness.
It was glowing brightly in the dark. Ye Xiajie felt a familiar coldness coming from the fire and watched it morph into a young man. This is aflame with the appearance of his wife, Hei Anjing. Ye Xiajie felt happiness filling his heart but just before he could hug the figure he was slapped mercilessly on the face.
In his wonder, he could only watch the figure once again change shape. This time it is the shape of a white-colored phoenix. Its wings were pure and as if its feathers were made of ice, it looks translucent and beautiful. The Phoenix is too big and Ye Xiajie could only watch as it wrapped its huge wings around him. Then a tiny droplet of warm tear fell on his face. He was shocked to see the argent eyes this phoenix possessed. Yes, it was similar to the seductive silver eyes of his wife, Hei Anjing.
A tiny voice pulled him back to life and said, 'I will never allow you to die again.'
When he once again opened his eyes he saw Xue Hua and Xia Jieye's figures appearing in thin air. He knew that the two had teleported into the room and he heard his wife calling husband while his other self suddenly grabbed Ou Ya by his neck. He realized that his father had once again schemed him. Ye Xiajie felt Hei Anjing hug him, his whole body trembling. After all, he almost lost him this time.
But he didn't know how he got revived in the last moment before he completely died. Only when he saw his wife's face even paler than before that he almost couldn't stop his tears from falling. He knew that his death was once again prevented by the sacrifice of his wife. He felt so useless and an undeniable pain stabbed in his heart mercilessly. He wanted to cry out like a wounded beast but afraid of frightening his wife Ye Xiajie just hugged him in his embrace as he gave Ye Mo in Ou Ya's body a deadly glare. He was looking as if he wanted to eat the man alive.
---
Once Xia Jieye and Ye Xiajie heard the words Ye Mo had said, their faces both turned extremely ugly. They knew that what this bastard had said was real. They caused their wife's soul to be further injured. No one knew how long he could last this time.
Ye Mo was still taunting the God of Void in front of him. Though he never expected that fate would play a trick on him and make his most hated son be the reincarnation of that being he hated the most in the world. Now that they were weakened to the point he could bully them made him immensely happy.
"Hahaha~ to think our dear creator would become my descendant in this era. Why don't you call me father, my darling son!? HAHAHA~" said Ye Mo.
He didn't fear death because what he left in this body is just a useless soul fragment that wouldn't affect him much, even if destroyed. He was fearless until he saw Ye Xiajie approaching from behind the God of Void. His eyes flicker with the crimson shade. It wasn't completely clear but both Xia Jieye and Ye Mo noticed it.
Xia Jieye was the most shocked between the two. Yr Xiajie's black eyes slowly turning crimson could only mean one thing. His connection in his vessel had been repaired. Though it wasn't complete, this situation means that even without the sacrificial spell Hei Anjing made Ye Xiajie would be able to return back to his vessel sooner or later. If that happens Ye Mo and the whole Ye Gui race would be doomed.
Xia Jieye dumbfounded, "You!!?"
"N-No way! This is impossible!" screamed Ye Mo.
After all, once Ye Xiajie woke up, he would no longer be merely a Lord God of the Nether System but a Supreme God of ancient times. A being like Shen Siwang the sole ruler of one of the strongest elements, the Darkness.
They watched as Ye Xiajie made a grabbing motion towards Ou Ya's body. His hand passed through the body and pulled out a transparent soul of Ou Ya whom Ye Mo forced to enter sleep. His face was cold as he threw the awakened soul who looked around in shock like garbage towards Lin Ye.
"...???..."
Ou Ya looked at his soul state and in the face of his tears filled the face of Lin Ye who was looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.
Ye Xiajie ordered, "Contracted him. He would work for me as you do. Sign his lover's name as well. They would be working for the Nether System after leaving this world." This is an order that only Warden Lou and Zhi Yue could do. They both saluted as they accepted their tasks.
"As you wish, my lord!"
He then nonchalantly glanced at the ugly face of Ye Mo and at the rare silent state of Xia Jieye.
"What are you looking at? Trace his soul close by and destroy it as well. He is too annoying. The first thing to be done after we are revived is to hunt down the Ye Gui Race and make them disappear in existence forever." said Ye Xiajie.
His demeanor at this moment is too similar to what Xia Jieye possesses. This could only mean that his soul is getting closer to becoming complete. Once his soul was complete he would be like Shen Siwang unhindered by anything in existence.
Xia Jieye knew he wasn't the main soul who could only click his tongue and follow the orders. He threw Ou Ya's vessel with Ye Mo's soul fragment to the darkness which is his domain. He only looks back to see Hei Anjing smiling at him despite his white face. It looks like he would collapse anytime soon. Before jumping into his domain and leaving. Seeing him leave, Ye Xiajie made his move again.
Ye Xiajie carried his wife away and walked away. He didn't even look at anyone else as he punched through a random space in front of him entering it and exiting the world with Hei Anjing. He decided to return to the System Space ahead of time. He also took away all the World Energy on this planet and chose to destroy it to nourish his wife's soul.
But he halted the destruction of the world with Time elements. The world halted as it stopped moving.
Ye Xiajie spoke, "Warden Lou and Prisoner Yun Ming. Collect the name of the survivors and transfer them to another empty world. There are a lot near us. This star is already dead. I will leave the rest to you. Yue, follow me."
"Yes, My lord!" The three responded with lowered heads.
Demigod Shen Ling, Demigod Xie Yi, (Soul) Ou Ya, and Lin Ye could only watch them leave. They even saw Xue Hua who was being carried away wearing a helpless smile on his fatigue face and waving his hands towards them as if saying see you soon. Once Ye Xiajie, Hei Anjing, and System Yue step within that broken space, the fragment space spreads slowly and the world itself slowly turns to ruins. Everyone could only watch their back disappear from their sight and they could only finally breathe again when that scary Ghost King finally left for real.
Within the Darkness Domain, the God of Void watched what happened after he left. Ye Mo's soul fragment was lying beside him tied up with black chains like a prisoner with no human right.
Tsk!clicking his tongue once again he looked at the foolish and stunning face of Ye Mo with a taunting smirk on his lips.
"You are forcing awaken the only Pure Evil God in existence. You must have wanted to disappear for good now since you had angered us that much." said the God of Void.
Ye Mo spoke, "Aren't you the main soul? Why are you even stronger after you've reincarnated?"
An arrogant grin appeared, "Who told you that? I'm the soul core but not the main soul. I am more like a memory bank and the real Ye Xiajie is much more ruthless than the former God of Void. Right, he is the darkness itself."
"Hah? What are you doing!?"
"What a foolish question. I'm going to use your soul to find the near traces similar to yours. I'm sure it would be delicious than the rest as you a Ye Gui is made from my soul as the former God of Void."
Xia Jieye started corroding the soul of Ye Mo's soul fragments. He found a near world that hides his other soul fragments. He couldn't help but lick his thin scarlet lips as if hungry about the feast served before him.
AAAAHHHHH~
"Hm~ it seems my hunger would be sated after eating these meals.. Hahaha~" murmured Xia Jieye as he stepped into endless darkness in front of him and no one knew where he had disappeared to.
