I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]-Chapter 1237: 18.75 First Grey Star - Entrance to the Aurora Glaciers
In order to avoid the two old men fighting over the time of their great-grandchildren, Ye Jieye's family spent three days in the Mo Clan and three days in the Lu Clan. As a result, their hunting schedule for the Aurora Glaciers was shifted by one week, and they were prepared to go at any time.
As for Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang, he had been making frequent trips to the Ruins of Time location. Because the spatial door itself was surrounded by spell ruins that prevented it from opening, and because a large number of royal knights were constantly patrolling the area, Mu Zang would sit on a small hill and observe the closed spatial door.
Every day, for a brief period of time, Mu Zang would come to this little hill and watch that door without getting bored or tired; yet, there would always be a sense of longing in the depths of his eyes as he sat on the grassy ground, staring at the spatial door with a sorrowful expression on his face. Today, Heavenly Guardian Xian Wu was there, carrying two jugs of wine, as he always did.
Xian Wu said, "Even if you stay here every day, that door won't open until the fateful day. Brother Ye and your son would be alright. Once the spatial door opened again, we could go inside to check."
"There is no need for you to come with us. Sen will not be allowed to enter that dungeon as his physical body is weaker than all of us. Just stay here with him," Mu Zang said as he snagged a wine jar from Xian Wu.
Xian Wu drinks his wine and says, "It would be better if Brother Ye and the others didn't go inside that thing! In the first place, it should have been sealed from the beginning. Those people in the palace are just being greedy."
"It's the past now. It can't be changed." Mu Zang also lifted the other wine jar for a drink.
Xian Wu sighed. "If only Xingyun hadn't agreed to become king, things wouldn't have ended up this way."
"That's his family. It can't be ignored," Mu Zang said.
Heavenly Guardian Xian Wu said, "I heard that your grandson had taken back your voice from that being in the Tower of God. He is amazing as usual."
"Of course, don't you know whose grandson he is?" Mu Zang said.
Xian Wu was carrying the wasted Mu Zang; that afternoon, he wanted to drink away his troubles and drank too much. The two of them sat on that hill and drank all night, going to the Lu Clan to rest for the remainder of the day.
---
In the middle of the night, at the Lu Clan's mansion.
Ye Jieye frowned when he saw his grandfather return drunk. Heavenly Guardian Xian Wu, this drunkard can drink gallons of wine and not get drunk.
"Senior, what happened?" Mo Xuejing asked.
Xian Wu said, "Hm. He is worrying about the ruins of time. Don't worry and let him rest for tonight. You guys are leaving tomorrow, aren't you? You should also go to sleep early."
"Yes, good night, Senior Xian," Mo Xuejing said as he helped Grandpa Mu lay down on the bed properly. They brought him to a guest room.
Ye Jieye said, "A'Mo, go ahead and sleep. I'm going to cook some sobering soup for them in a bit. Rest early tonight."
"No, I will wait for you," Mo Xuejing said.
Ye Jieye smiled, "Okay then."
The God of Void did not say anything at first, but he knew that Mu Zang was actually awake and just feigning sleep, so he observed as Mo Xuejing went back to their chamber, remaining in the guest room and sitting in the chair by his grandfather.
Ye Jieye said, "Gramps, do you believe me if I tell you that my parents and other grandfathers are still alive?"
Mu Zang immediately sat up and opened his eyes as he looked at his grandson in disbelief and shock. He even grabbed his arms, which Ye Jieye allowed him to do.
"How did you know? Xiao Ye, please tell me your words truthfully? Or are you only coaxing me?" Mu Zang said.
Ye Jieye patted his grandfather's hand and said, "My real body is in that place. I'm connected to it. I know that they are still alive. Please believe me. I will bring them out of there. So, wait for a bit more."
The words of Ye Jieye were like a blessing to Mu Zang, who at last was able to let go of his sorrow and longing. His husband had never spoken to him in a dream since his grandson's spirit had left that awful realm, and he had always believed that his beloved had passed away.
Ye Jieye patted the crying old man's back and said, "He is alive but in slumber. The backlash of making me come out even with just a mere soul is beyond his ability. He is still alive, Gramps."
"Haha~ Okay. If you say so, this old man will believe you. When are you going to return there? How will you do it?" Mu Zang asked.
Ye Jieye said, "I will go there after I cure Anxia. Once my daughter has no problems anymore, I'm going back to the Ruins of Time."
"But how can you come back? The dungeon is still closed," Mu Zang asked.
Ye Jieye pointed at himself and said, "Once this body is dead, my soul will return to its original body, and I will wake up inside the Ruins of Time."
"What did you say!?" Mu Zang exclaimed in shock. He never expected that the way for his grandson to return to the dungeon was dead in his current body. "No way! You can't do that! Let's just wait for the dungeon to open."
"This body must die before the dungeon opens, or my real body will die. Once the connection to my original body is cut off, as I can't leave this body unless I die, the former will be dead. So I must return before the door to the Ruin of Time opens," Ye Jieye explained.
Mu Zang said, "Is there no other way?"
"Gramps, this is the only way. Don't worry, there will be no backlash as long as this body dies before the Ruins of Time opens," Ye Jieye said. "Believe in me. I will be alright."
Ye Jieye brought Mo Xuejing, Lu Shang, Leica, and Lu Ming's group with him the next morning after this grandfather-grandson talk that night. Surprisingly, the old men had added two doctors to their group: Doctor Guang and Doctor Hei.
The three Heavenly Guardians of their family had arranged for a vehicle for them, so they did not travel on the back of the black dragon. As for Ye Jingxia and Anxia, it was decided that they would be left in the Mo Clan, where Chaos is. Since he is his wife's soul core, he could not possibly harm their children—after all, he is also the father of these two cubs.
Chaos remained silent when the children were placed in his care, but Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing knew that nothing could hurt Ye Jingxia and Anxia while he was around, so they left the children to the strongest person in the world, meaning that Chaos would be there to protect them even if the Noble Faction tried to ensnare their family by obtaining their children.
Their SUV led the way, followed by a couple of other vehicles that looked identical. Some of the vehicles in the lead are being driven by members of both the Mo and Lu Clans, and their purpose is to assist them in surveying the Aurora Glacier region.
Doctor Guang said, "Are we really doing it inside the Aurora Glaciers? Is there even a path under them? If there is something on those ice glaciers, it must be on top, not below."
"This is exciting. It's been awhile since I came out to hunt," said Doctor Hei.
His twin brother retorted, "Doctors aren't supposed to hunt. Why bring me too? Ah! I should have just stayed and played with Xiao Jing and the princess!" Doctor Guang said.
Though they could not bring them into this danger zone as they had originally planned, Mo Xuejing appeared serious, as he was worried about his children. Firstly, Lu Wangle, Mu Zang, and Mo Xinyue would not agree, and secondly, they had to ensure that there would not be many deaths among these people, as the Lu and Mo Clan had instructed them to help them.
Ye Jieye, his lover, said, "Don't worry. The children will be alright with him around."
"Shouldn't we have brought Xiao Jing and Xiao Xia back to Numen Town first? There is that hidden rebellion undergoing in the capital after all. We are even away from them if something happens," Mo Xuejing said with his eyes filled with worry.
Ye Jieye said, "Even if the palace is destroyed, Xiao Jing and Anxia will be alright. Like you, he is also overprotective towards the cubs. He will protect them well."
"I know. Still, I'm so worried," Mo Xuejing said.
Ye Jieye said, "We will go back as soon as we find the Hellish Strawberries. Once Anxia is cured, there will be fewer worries in the family. Xiao Jing is strong. He wouldn't be manipulated by just anyone. Moreover, I left those two with them." The two systems he is talking about are the two.
Though he has not seen Chaos' strength, Mo Xuejing considered the abilities of System Yue and System Yang, who were able to use spatial teleportation during emergencies and even make formations to protect people. At least with those two, the cubs will be okay. Chaos also knows about Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang. It is just that he is more interested in spending time with the children than other strangers.
Ye Jieye asked, "Should I have left Roi behind as well?"
"No need. Roi is afraid of chaos for some reason," said Mo Xuejing. "It should be alright. I left the nightmare beast instead."
The black bracelet trembled when Mo Xuejing mentioned Chaos. During their three days in the Mo Clan's Mansion, Roi had been caught by Chaos a few times; he would tie it in a knot, grill it over fire, or squeeze it when he was bored. The black dragon had become traumatized during those three days and had stopped approaching Chaos when it saw him.
Doctor Hei was brought here as an external helper in case of an emergency; they were told to prepare for frost bites and stiffness of that kind. The entourage of the car stopped at the cliff where a long wooden bridge was connected to the distant land covered in snow.
They are now standing on land that is still filled with greenery, which is the entrance to the Aurora Glaciers, which is just on the opposite side of the wooden bride. Inside the car, Doctor Guang was pouting as he was brought to such a cold place. He cannot not go there because it is under the authority of Ancestor Mo.
Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing took the lead and came down the car with the two twin doctors. They look at the raging snow storm on the opposite side of the cliff.
Doctor Guang shivered at the bottomless cliff not far from them. "Ah! This place is still scary as always!"
"Haha~ brother, you're such a coward as always!" Doctor Hei said as he laughed at his silly twin brother.
Lu Shang and Leica just finished commanding the people behind them to line up before coming to approach their lords.
"My Lords, we are ready," Lu Shang said.
Ye Jieye just nodded his head while Mo Xuejing said, "Tell them to change clothes. We will now enter the danger zone."
"Yes, Sir!" Everyone from their entourage responded.
