The Upper Realm.
The Mythical Races Emperors had finished all their preparations. They had gathered their troops and had waited before the closed Boundary Gates. Wearing armors and weapons on their bodies, they were now preparing to descend in the Mortal Realm. It's time for the war between two realms. Sadly, humanity didn't know the incoming disaster was about to befall them.
The one in lead this time is the Dragon Emperor as among all Emperor Rulers in the Upper Realm he is the strongest. Wearing a golden-colored armor on himself, his presence was luxury itself. Dragons are wealthy and they love gold as much as power. It wouldn't be surprising for such a creature to surround himself with gold.
Standing in front of more than a thousand men his presence is too bright under the sunlight. There are even some who couldn't open their eyes in his presence. Standing beside him is the Emperor of Black Turtle Race. He looks a bit haggard as he just came back from the Underworld.
Moreover, half of the underworld was destroyed and was still in the fire. This fire is inextinguishable and keeps burning leaving nothing left with the world of the dead. Also, almost all souls in the underworld had perished completely under this black fire, since they've even lost their souls, they can never be reborn again. He heard from his son that the black flame is called Hell flames, when he heard about that he almost couldn't stop beating his own son for casually throwing such a disastrous flame in their territory.
By the looks of it, unless he finds something to do with that hell's flames the underworld would just completely disappear in the end. Since he couldn't think of anything about it yet, he decided to see off the others who were descending in the mortal world to perish the human race.
The Emperor of the Black Turtle said, "Leader, I would only be seeing you guys off here. Please take care."
"Um. We are prepared this time. I do not think those deviants would be able to defeat all of us," said the emperor of the dragons.
The Emperor of the White tigers laughs in excitement, "Kakaka~ don't worry Lao Long I will make sure to defeat one of them with Lao Feng ba~"
"Hmp! Just don't rampage too much. Even if the Underworld exists then the underworld wouldn't be able to accommodate too many dead," said the Phoenix Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor looked at the Emperor of the Black Turtle race and said, "We are going now. I will leave the rest to you."
"Be careful. Leave the Upper Realm to me," responded the Black Turtle Emperor with a short bow.
Under the lead of the other three emperors, the boundary gates were opened. It was left open for everyone to descend all at the same time.
The emperor of the Dragon race commanded, "Go! Look for the two Deviant Gods and eliminate them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Everyone finally descended with permission from the rulers of the Upper Realm. The three emperors had also descended in the mortal land looking for the men who had killed and harmed their children. It didn't take a while for only the Emperor of the Black Turtle race to remain.
As soon as the figure of the other three emperors disappeared the black turtle race's heir, Gui Se had appeared beside his father. His limbs had been regenerated but like a soulless doll his eaten arm and leg never moved anymore as what the God of Void ate is not merely his flesh but also the part of the soul that allows it to move.
Gui Se spoke, "Father, is this alright? You didn't tell them that the Underworld is no more?"
The amiable expression on the Emperor of the Black Turtle race had disappeared. It is completely different from when he looks gentle and friendly when talking to the other emperors. Right now, he looks cold and stern. A scholar looks as if he had all the wisdom in the world.
"There is no need for the underworld anymore. The venerable said it right? It had perished under the effect of Hell Flames. Those who had to descend on the mortal realm whether their goal is revenge or something else would all perish in that place. We will only be safe if we don't bother them anymore, especially the golden soul whom they protect."
Bewildered, Gui Se asked, "Father, is that gold soul really a soul not originally from here?"
"Must be… 15 years ago the Heavenly will suddenly become too quiet. It has already stopped caring about this world. As for why it must be connected to that golden soul. That soul is something that even the Heavenly laws of this world didn't dare to touch. Who are we to think about getting it? The Dragon, phoenix, and White tiger races might all go extinct now. We shouldn't get involved in this fight," said the Emperor of the Black Turtle.
The father and son were having a conversation when suddenly they heard someone butts in their talk.
"Smart choice. Because of that, you are given an opportunity to live. Hahaha~" it was the voice of Xia Jieye.
SWOOSH
Suddenly from the left behind opened gates of the Upper Realm overwhelming darkness enters and spreads all over the said realm.
Humans started talking one by one,
"Ah?! Where am I?"
"Am I dead? Is this heaven?"
"Wow~ this place looks so beautiful~"
"Sister, come one take a picture with me?"
"Hm~ aren't I in the bathroom just now?"
"Fudge! Look at those men who have horns? Is that fur and animal ears?!"
"Shut up! Stop pulling on my clothes!"
A sudden rowdiness can be heard near the Black Turtle Emperor and Heir. They stare at the humans who suddenly appeared beside them. They were dumbfounded like the other Deities who were left behind in the Upper Realm. Some human cultivators met their parents, friends, and descendants. It was a chaotic yet happy scene.
Darkness hovers in front of the Emperor of the Black Turtle clan revealing otherworldly handsome features of the God of Void, "I will leave these humans here for a bit. Lest they got involved in the fight below. Do not harm them, they will be brought back after the fight," said Xia Jieye.
As soon as the darkness slowly resided humans of all ages appeared in the upper realm, just based on their reactions they were all carried away here as if they were all teleported by a huge power. Of course, only those with a few merits and children were brought away.
People like Hou Feng and his family who had accumulated lots of good merits appeared here as well. Actually, most people who had bought something made by Xue Hua were also brought here. System Yu helped his big boss in filtering the humans. Only a few were left behind in the human realm and those are bad guys who had accumulated bad karmas. Their death would be based on how many bad things they did. After all, there is no way those Mythical creatures would care about the life and death of humans whom they treated nothing much differently as ants.
Some police who were brought over with their captain Hou Feng asked their boss, "Captain, where are we?"
"Is this heaven? Did we all die?"
"Wait, I saw my parents there?"
"My brother is here too!"
"Grandpa, Grandma over here!"
Even the Mayor spotted his own son in the crowd and hugged him, "Son, where is this place? This old man was in his office and was suddenly taken by some shadow."
"Dad? I also don't know I was in the middle of the case before suddenly appearing him my team was also brought here," answered Hou Feng.
Then the father and son saw the ruckus in the surrounding area. To avoid riots and stampedes these two who were duty-bound and responsible worked together to calm everyone. They also spotted Gui Se and his father staring at them. Xia Jeiye had longed left after giving them a warning and the gates suddenly closed without control. Now the authority of the Emperors to control the gates was completely stripped. They had no other choice but to help the humans explain where they are and the current situation they were in. Obviously, they were brought here for protection as the Mortal Realm down there will be becoming hell on earth sooner or later.
Meanwhile, Xie Jjeye who just left the upper realm is flying in the sky followed by System Yue.
[My Lord, those people had already started destroying the human realm. A lot of humans had already died though most of them are bad people. They were following your aura which had few scents of the phoenix and white tiger race. They will be targeting you soon. Are we going to the Ancient Palace with the others?]
Xia Jieye didn't respond right away and said, "How about the Lou Clan and Feng Clan?"
[As the Lord ordered, I told them to go ahead and exchange the protagonist shou for the host.]
"Hahaha, well then let's go see how that bastard would react. This should be quite fun to watch." said the God of Void who had a rare smile on his face as he imagined the expression Ye Xiajie would show when Lou Lan started spouting nonsense.
[My lord, is it really alright to do this? The host hasn't completely healed himself yet.]
"The energy in this world is only able to stabilize his soul a bit but it wouldn't be able to heal his soul injuries. It is better to find the other soul fragments and let that bastard merge with it. The sooner it was gathered the better for it for the little one. After all, his state is…" Xia Jeiye didn't complete what he wanted to say but unlike the others, he knew more things about Hei Anjing's situation.
As someone who had full memories of his past lives, he knew that the little one must be running out of time. But he also knew that both he, Ye Xiajie, and Hei Anjing were extremely reluctant to end this happiness of being together. In the end, everything had to end. Even this vacation-like journey would be ending soon.
Xia Jieye murmured as his crimson eyes glowed with intense hostility, "As soon as I got my body back the first thing I would do was to remove the Ye Gui Race in existence. Ye Mo you've been waiting for too long, don't worry you will be dead soon~" an evil smirk appears in the corner of his lips. His red eyes were like blood boiling with emotions of hatred and aggressiveness.. He is indeed an Evil God like no other.
