I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot-Chapter 475 - 11.1 Prologue - In The System Space Before The Tenth World
In the System Space.
Within a tranquil ocean of stars and universe, the black horizon covered with varying planets, stars, and worlds sparkle in colors. There are smaller worlds that were newly born and there are some planets that were destroyed. It was the usual cycle of life and death of stars in the universes. The area was so serene as the exquisite scenery of the galaxies spread in all directions.
Nether System
Office of Nether God An Liang.
An Liang is enjoying a two-person world with his wife, Hei Jue, currently having a sweet candlelight dinner when the whole Nether System quakes as if a powerful collision had happened in the area. The sounds of plates and cups breaking resound in his office. The land under their feet shook as if an 8+ magnitude earthquake hit the road.
BANG! CRACKS~
"This eerie yet strong presence..."
"Is he back?"
Hei Jue and An Liang were startled but unlike the prisoners who were locked in their cells, this couple didn't panic at all. As they've felt extremely familiar auras suddenly appearing in the whole territory of Nether. These auras were too strong enough to forcefully enter the Nether System.
The reactions of those ordinary prisoners in their cells:
'Woa! What the fuck!? Earthquake!!!'
'Boohoo~ My serving time is about to end. I don't want to die here~'
'Noisy! This is the Nether System. We're in the floating territory, why would there be earthquakes in the sky!?'
'Lunatic! Who the hell are scolding ha!?'
'Shut up! All of you. Or this lord is going to skin you alive!'
While prisoners in the cells have varying reactions without them knowing that the one causing this situation is none other than the being all prisoners feared the most. The culprit of all this chaos is none other than the Lord God of the Nether System himself, Lord Ye Xiajie.
He destroyed the space itself to return back to the Space System while carrying his wife, Hei Anjing in his arms. As soon as they get back, Hei Anjing sheds the mortal vessel he has right now and resumes a solid soul form of his real appearance in his god form like Ye Xiajie is. System Yue shut his mouth without saying a word as he hovers at the side of his masters. He keeps a certain distance as a bystander.
Ye Xiajie's modern appearance had slowly faded. His obsidian long hair flowed behind his back. On his perfectly proportioned body, a black and red robe replaced the expensive branded modern clothes he wears from the last world. His robes don't look ordinary either. It looks like it's made from an unknown material as it would contain the dark and fire elements that Ye Xiajie emits.
He stood proud like a mountain as he placed his hands around his wife. One wrapping around his slender waist and the other under his legs carrying him in the position of princess carry. His features were refined which shows his arrogance. Sharp jaws, tall nose, and thin lips pursed into a thin line making look ascetic yet seductive. His downcasted eyes look like he is bored and indifferent yet those formerly pure black eyes had been obscure with glowing garnet as if a flame was lit within the endless darkness.
He emits a majestic presence like an emperor overlooking the world. He looks aloof as if looking down on anything that exists in this world. His eyes were cold and apathetic yet when it landed on the sleeping gorgeous young man within his embrace his dull eyes melted into gentleness. He usually looks like an immortal without any care in the world yet he looks so down to earth when he stares at his beloved.
Only when looking at his wife that his emotions flicker like candlelight. Soft and careful thought at this moment these eyes were filled with worries as he felt his wife within his arms turned even colder than usual. If not for his chest lightly moving, this ruthless God would have thought he was carrying a corpse in his arms.
He softly placed his ear on the chest of the young man in his arms. His tight nerves loosen when he hears his rhythmic heartbeats. His nervousness weakened as he was sure that his wife was only sleeping. He lowered his head for a second time and landed a revered kiss on Hei Anjing's forehead.
Ye Xiajie whispered softly. "Sleep. Rest properly this time. Baby, you've done enough."
He pokes at the snowflake-shaped earring on Hei Anjing's ears. Suddenly a towering white tree appears in the system space. This is the Tree of Life provided to Hei Anjing by his family. It had grown taller than before and the top of the tree was used as the nest of the Dragon, ROI, and Hybrid Phoenix-Dragon, REINE from the Futuristic world. They were their quantum beasts. Suddenly seeing new scenery around them ROI and REINE showed bewildered expressions on their faces. They were blinking confusedly at the scenery around them.
Only when they've felt the familiar soul presence of their masters that they have flown down from the top of the tree. Ye Xiajie remained calm and collected in the presence of two huge beasts. They are both dragons yet one possessed the bloodline of a phoenix.
ROI sniffs on Ye Xiajie. Because he felt his Master's aura on him despite his different appearance he knew that this man is definitely his master. These quantum beasts were forgotten by the couple in his wife's space the last time they entered that special dimension inside Hei Anjing's earrings. Since then these two beasts had lived on the top of the world tree learning that they wouldn't fade as long as they stayed near this towering white tree.
Now that the tree had appeared out of nowhere and in a place with even more qi than their former world, the two quantum beasts knew that they had lost connection to the Quantum World where they come from.
[Master? Is that right? Is the one in your arms, Lord Feng?]
Ye Xiajie replied, "Do not call him Lord Feng. His real name is Hei Anjing and my real name is Ye Xiajie. Since we had accidentally brought you out from this world We will be responsible for you. Come there is something I wanted you to do for me."
[As you wish, Lord Ye!]
System Yue suddenly speaks, [Milord, let this subordinate report Milord's return.]
"Go!"
After seeing the two quantum beasts follow after him he once again hides the World Tree in his wife's dimension. System Yue had excused himself to report to his other superior, An Liang about the return of their Lord God.
Carrying his beloved he walks through space to space until they've reached an area that is also the center of the Nether System. This place is a bit like Hei Anjing's System Space but at the same time, it is different.
At the center of the black room, a man lay on the water afloat. He is surrounded by glowing red huge stones that nourish his body. Inside those stones are souls of something unknown which the Ruler Gid Mo used to replace his Nephew's soul fragment. After the soul fragment, Mo Baojun had obviously returned it to his nephew's vessel
Under the water are countless of the universe connected to this man's body. But some of the universe in it had turned dull. The connections to those worlds had been cut off already. Right now there are still three brightly glowing universes. Ye Xiajie also noticed that these universes were the ones that appeared in his wife's system space.
The ones where he could choose any star to hope in. He knew that those are the stars where he had split his soul fragments in and used the energy of those worlds to repair his body.
ROI spoke, [Master, this looks like you. Is this your real vessel?]
Asked the black dragon king, after all, they've noticed that both their masters were in their soul forms and thought they could remain solid for a while; it doesn't mean they could continue doing so for long durations.
The Hybrid Phoenix-Dragon quantum beast called REINE was silent all the way. His master is asleep after all and he couldn't go against the master of his other half without his own Master's permission. But when he observed the body surrounded by the blood soul in front of him he frowned as he felt his Master's hidden aura within.
The aura he is feeling is something so pure. The purest qi with the strong presence of ice elements that only his Master's soul core could emit.
[Hm? Why is my Master's Soul Core coming from your body?] asked REINE.
This question startled the master and quantum beast duo who didn't expect REINE to talk to them. Like his master, this phoenix-dragon hybrid is proud and cold by nature. He wouldn't be heartless towards his other half but he would also not entertain the master of his other half unless necessary. Now that he spoke to them all of the sudden caught the two surprised. His words were especially meaningful.
Ye Xiajie frowned when he heard this question.
"What do you mean?" he asked. Even his tone turned a bit menacing due to his bad mood.
The two could only watch as REINE pulled up Ye Xiajie's body to sit. What happened next surprised them. They saw Hei Anjing's vessel firmly attached to Ye Xiajie's back. At a single sight, one could conclude that this body is indeed the original vessel of Hei Anjing but unlike Ye Xiajie's body, this vessel had been long dead. There is no heartbeat coming from it and only a powerful source of qi comes from it.
The glowing dantian coming from the stomach of the corpse keeps burning and this energy was channeled to be passed to Ye Xiajie's vessel keeping that empty body alive.
Ye Xiajie was shocked to the core that he fell kneeling on the ground as he carefully looked at Hei Anjing's face on that corpse before him. He didn't forget to secure his wife's soul in his embrace. He keeps comparing the appearance of the sleeping man in his arms and that white skin pale corpse in front of him. It was so similar. It can be said that the appearance is as if looking at oneself in front of a mirror. So alike.
His right hand trembling gently touched the cheeks of the dead body in front of him. It was so cold. Yes, as cold as ice. Ye Xiajie could even see the blue veins showing on that white skin. The lips on this body had long turned purple and obviously, there is no blood left within this body. This vessel had been long dead for a very long time. Seeing this Ye Xiajie could no longer hold back his tears. He could still remember what Xia Jieye had told him before.
Xia Jieye's words, 'Our life is being extended thanks to Jing'er sacrificing his flesh, blood, and soul.'
Ye Xiajie didn't want to believe it at first. After all, isn't his wife with him in all those worlds. How could he believe someone dead can look all over for his soul. Deep in his heart, he didn't believe it. But now a proof was shown before his face. Even if he tries to deny it, he could no longer lie to himself.
Ye Xiajie with his voice trembling calls with a hurt-filled voice, "Jing'er~ I will free you now."
REINE and ROI saw that Ye Xiajie tried to pull apart the two bodies in front of him. The two wanted to stop it as they knew that both vessels would die if the two bodies were pulled apart.
A voice cries out with fierce urgency, "STOP!!!"
It was Hei Jue and An Liang who arrived on time and stopped Ye Xiajie's foolish action. The two quantum beats had pulled Ye Xiajie away and he didn't forget to hug his wife in his arms in that split moment. His wife had already lost his body; he couldn't let his soul be injured anymore. He secured Hei Anjing who was in his embrace making sure he remained unhurt by the sudden pull.
Ye Xiajie could only watch as Hei Jue and An Liang flopped back Hei Anjing's body in the water under him and as the same as before. Only Ye Xiajie's vessel can be seen lying within that horizon of darkness. A fit of immense anger-filled Ye Xiajie's heart, his eyes turned bloodshot as he glares at the two figures in front of him.
"What the hell are you doing?! Let my wife's body be at peace!!!" yelled Ye Xiajie.
Hei Jue turned his head and the expression on his face turned murderous yet an undeniable pain glint within those familiar grey eyes of his. Just as when Hei Jue was about to kill Ye Xiajie in anger, his husband, An Liang had done his best to stop him.
An Liang coaxed, "Sweetheart, calm down!"
Hei Jue said, "Let me go! I'm going to kill this retard! I've always known he would be like this. That's why I wanted to kill him even before his soul could return here."
"He doesn't even know the whole story. He doesn't even have his memories. He knew nothing. You can't kill him. If you do, it's A'Jing who will pay the price!" said An Liang.
He did his best to calm down his wife with words. Only when the last sentence was mentioned that Hei Jue stopped his movement especially when he saw Hei Anjing's soul sleeping deeply within Ye Xiajie's embrace.
Ye Xiajie was pulled to appear before Hei Jue. The space moves on its own as the space below Ye Xiajie cracks and he falls in front of the God of Space. He didn't take his cousin from the arms of Ye Xiajie. He knew this madman would go even crazier if he did.
Hei Jue spoke, "Bring out the World tree and Okan it in this room. That would be helpful for your vessel and... Jing'er state is not good. He must sleep under the World Tree. What the hell are you still waiting for!?"
Hei Jue yelled at Ye Xiajie fearlessly even though he knew that this land was this man's territory. They were considered family already as Hei Anjing had chosen him as his other half. Ye Xiajie was confused about everything. His tears had halted the moment he burst in anger just now. Now he calmed down, he controlled the territory and replanted the World Tree from his wife's special dimension to the center of the Nether System.
"Place him beside your body. The source of energy that keeps your body alive is his soul core. He would heal faster near it." said Hei Jue.
He didn't explain anything but kept ordering Ye Xiajie around. His dislike for Ye Xiajie had never been hidden right from the very beginning. Hei Jue had always hated this pig called Ye Xiajie for digging up his most precious cabbage, Hei Anjing. Unfortunately, the man is a lot stronger than he does and couldn't even take revenge. Ye Xiajie did as he was told and his actions were careful and gentle all the way. He doesn't even care about his own body and his worries were all for his wife.
Now that Ye Xiajie calmed down, his majesty and dark aura rendered everyone breathless. They knew that even though there are no emotions imprinted on his face at this moment. Ye Xiajie is extremely angry.
"Explain everything to me!" said Ye Xiajie.
