I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot-Chapter 437 - 9.56 Second Blue Star - The Forgotten Past Life Of Lou Wuye And Yun Ming (1)
Lou Wuye was shocked by what this person with Yun Ming's face was talking about. But just based on the reaction of this young Yun Ming, Lou Wuye knew that they did not have the same timeline. After looking closely at the kind of prison he was in he had remembered reading this type of prison. This is owned by that notorious race. The Ye Guis.
They made an underground water prison where the Ye Guis would torment the traitor of the clan. The main element of the Ye Guis race is fire, being soaked in water for a long time weakens them greatly and affects their cultivation. Not only would it result in regression in strength, but his fire element would also be converted to water. Once that happens then his Ye Gui Bloodline would disappear completely and he would be exiled with less lifespan as punishment.
Based on what he is seeing right now, the humid cave surrounded with tree roots, black chains that restrict one's qi, and a cold pond full of water elements plus the lingering scent of blood in the cave, this is the underground water prison the Ye Guis have.
But Warden Lou couldn't understand how he woke up in this place after fainting. The pain, scent, sight, sounds, and sense of touch is too real to be fake but at the same time, he felt that he could not die for real in this place. As this is a dreamland that was made but someone.
Warden Lou looked at the young man who looked so much like his beloved Yun Ming. He had unconsciously called him Ming'er by instinct. Because this young man truly feels like he is a real Yun Ming but his heart says otherwise. This person is Yun Ming yet different. At the very least he is not the Yun Ming from his timeline.
What he didn't know was that the way he stares at Lou Ming before him is the same as what he does when looking at Yun Ming. A yearning he couldn't hide, a doting as if wishing to give him all things in the world and love as if he was his everything.
Lou Ming was stunned no he was afraid. He had never seen his master look at him this way. This is something he had wished for all this time. A gentleness that is only for him and a warm feeling that gives reason to his world. But this person never gave it to him, he betrayed him and sided with his enemies. Because Young Lord Ye Mo said he would give him freedom as long as he betrayed his master.
At that time he had given up everything already because he knew in his heart that this person would never look his way.
But what is happening right now?! Not only had his Master's gaze fallen onto his figure, but his gaze was also doting and temperate.
Lou Ming had never been so confused in his life. This was the first time he had felt something he had yearned for a long time finally falling onto his hands. His wishes become a dream come true and the only person important to him who used to ignore him is now looking at him. It was ten when he heard his master's words whispering.
Lou Wuye murmured, "Is this a dream? If it is then... It's nice." Then he looks at this person who looks so much like his Yun Ming. He had a feeling that this young man is closely connected to his lover and that he felt closer to him than the others. He didn't realize that he is currently smiling at him.
Seeing this expression Lou Ming was astonished at first then felt frightened next and afterward happiness filled his heart. This is what he had been dreaming all his life to see his master smile.
Lou Ming approached his chained master with wobbly steps and even almost slipped on his way.
"Careful!" Lou Wuye said as he tried to reach out only for the sounds of the chains that restrict his movements to echoes in the cave.
Lou Ming upon seeing his master's reaction completely slipped and slid on that wet floor and he fell into the water to Lou Wuye's arms. The latter had caught him before he drowned in the pool. In his shock, he unconsciously wrapped his thin arms around his master's neck. He expected the man to throw him off him but instead, he was carried carefully in his arms.
"Are you okay, Ming'er?" asked Lou Wuye worriedly.
Lou Ming was stunned at first. He didn't expect that his master would be worried for him when he slipped just now. If it was before he would look at him with a frown as if he had embarrassed him greatly in front of everyone destroying his reputation. Though he would reach out his hand to show his manners, he never looked at him even if he did.
This is also the first time he had seen his master's face this close. Though it was well-known that his master possess an attractive face that most goddesses in their Clan idolized him, he is also infamous for being asexual. He is a handsome person that had no scandal or secret rumors about him. He is like a model figure that everyone could only look up to. Because of that, there are lots of other servants who envied Lou Ming for being able to stand beside him. But Lou Ming being able to stand beside this person is the hardest thing to bear. He could only see and look but no matter what he is forbidden to touch him.
He secretly loves this cold-hearted being. No one but Lou Ming could understand how much his Master admired the God of Void. So when the clan decided to betray their creator it was his master who is also the Grand Elder who disagreed about the Clan's decision to kill their Lord. As Lou Ming expected, his master was the only one who disagreed and the clan decided to imprison him in the dungeon until they finished what they had planned to do.
The Great Elder tried to escape before he was captured but it was his servant, Lou Ming who tattled to Young Lord Ye Mo about his master's plans to escape. Ye Wuye, the grand elder was caught before he could even look for his servant, Lou Ming, and escaped with him. When the great elder learned about this, he never blamed Lou Ming for betraying him; instead, he ignored him as if he didn't care about this servant at all. But in reality, the grand elder ignored Lou Ming to protect him because he knew how sinister the mind their Young Lord possesses. If that person learned that Lou Ming is in love with him, he would definitely use him to harm not only himself but the person himself.
What Lou Ming didn't know was that the Grand Elder taking him as a servant is his form of protection. Most mixed-blood descendants were treated even worse than servants. they were more like slaves instead and they don't have any human rights. The animals or pets were treated more kindly than how the mixed were treated instead.
But because the Grand Elder is silent by nature and his face looks stern despite being handsome, he is often misunderstood and Lou Ming did as well which is why he betrayed him for thinking that this master of his had never cared for him at all. The sound of water splashing can be heard as the young man in his embrace struggles free.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
"LET GO OF ME!" said the shy young man.
Lou Wuye was pushed away by the flustered young man who ran away with flushed cheeks. It is obviously an innocent child but acts like a cold person. Lou Wuye didn't know what was happening but he could see the memories of the Grand Elder he is in right now. His eyes could only linger on that small back that was running away from him.
Warden Lou observed his situation. It seems a realistic dream as his five senses exist. "This is... a dream but not an ordinary one. I heard from Zhi Yue that, that person is the God of Void. Don't tell me he can control dreams as well and pull me here?" he murmured then he saw a man who looks like his Lord God, Ye Xiajie, floating in front of him. The only difference is that this person is surrounded by darkness and the only difference in him is those crimson irises. The Lord God's eyes were black after all.
It was Xia Jieye. It seems that he decided to show himself before the warden as he heard his name being called. For an evil being like him, his name is the most powerful. Once someone called his name he would be able to hear it and it would depend on him whether he wanted to listen or not. Though the Dream Realm is not completely under his control, darkness is still connected to it. As one needs to welcome the darkness to slumber which allows one to dream.
Seeing Xia Jieye, this God of Void, for the first time left Warden Lou dazed. He could finally understand why Zhi Yue said that this person is their Lord God but at the same time not. The familiarity they feel in his existence, that overwhelming presence of darkness, and that indifference that matches his aloof and majestic temperament. Plus that dangerous feeling that comes from his killing intent, this person is definitely their Lord God.
Warden Lou bowed his head and greeted Xia Jieye as he did before Ye Xiajie. He was respectful and his servile mannerism cannot be hidden even if his limbs were chained.
"Greetings to the Lord God! This humble one is Lou Wuye."
Xie Jieye remained indifferent as he responded, "I know. You never change even after getting reincarnated in your current identity. What is more surprising is that you allowed your past memories to be erased before you got reborn. But it seems your attachment to that child has never changed and followed you in your next life. What's the point of erasing your memories if you can't even remove your obsession? You fool!"
Astonished with what he heard Lou Wuye suddenly raised his head and had that dumb look on his face.
Lou Wuye asked, "W-What do you mean my Lord?"
"This is indeed the dream realm. Your own dream but... this scene is a part of your past memories. Though they were erased before you entered the reincarnation, memories cannot be erased so easily, especially for Immortals like us. When you heard this Deity's name your past once again started to resurface. This dream is your past memories. Both are real and facts," explained Xia Jieye.
Dumbfounded Lou Wuye looked at his lord with a slightly opened mouth, "T-Then... that child who... l-look like Yun Ming is..."
"It's him. Though he is called Yun Ming at the present and as to how you were used to be called as Ye Wuye in your first life. You had a connection right from the beginning and you used to be a Ye Gui. You've entered reincarnation for the same reason. You wanted to remove your affliction with the Ye Gui race so when both of you died that time you asked me to keep your memories for you. Now that I have returned this deity shall return all of your past memories to you." said Xie Jieye.
Lou WUye finally understands why this dream is so realistic. This is because these are his memories. His past life as Ye Wuye, the former Grand Elder of the First Generation of the Ye Gui race.
