Back to the Nether System's Space.
Galaxies full of stars and cosmos appeared within the world of endless darkness. That's what welcomed the Lord God and Warden Lou the moment they returned. Vast darkness with nothing but stars and varying worlds in it. This place is more like a world portal station than a personal resting place for Hei Anjing. As expected the figure of that person, Ye Xijie had been wanting to see is no longer around, even Prisoner Yun MIng's presence cannot be felt in the whole Nether System.
Ye Xiajie mumbled, "They are no longer here. There are traces of Space Elements in the area but because the space essences were spread all over, I could pinpoint which world Jing'er had entered. Executioner 13, go look for An Liang and ask which world my wife had chosen to enter too. It doesn't agree to tell you anything, just dragged him out of his suffocating office!"
The urgency and anger in the Lord God's voice can be felt by his two subordinates just by hearing his cold tone. System Yue was wobbling as he ran out of the System Space to look for his other boss, An Liang.
Nether God An. Leaving his system space Yue teleported himself and entered the Main system of Nether, walking breezily to his boss's office. Nether system Trial Throne.
Knock. Knock. Knock
A calm but stern voice was heard from inside the office, "You may enter." The man who owns the room said.
Inside the room, "Executioner 13th reporting to Nether God An." greeted Yue emotionlessly like a machine he is.
Nether God, An Liang, with his long light blonde hair, flawless features akin to ancient gods, and a pair of dull lavender calculating eyes wearing a single lens glass above his right eye he stared at the executioner who ranked 13th in the list of all countless executioners of Nether system.
An Liang spoke, "You are finally here. That means that the temperamental big boss of ours had also returned with you."
"Yes, Lord An. The Lord God wanted to know where Lord Hei had gone. He was asking for which world the host had chosen to enter," replied System Yue.
"Hm, ~ Let's go. I need to see that old friend of mine and talk about something." said An Liang as he stood up from where he was sitting about to leave his office to return with System Yue to Hei ANjing's personal System Space.
When they've returned to the System Space, the original empty dark land was renovated into a small dimension of land. There's a huge mansion with a wide courtyard full of Wisteria trees and a flower garden. There is also a small playground for children. At this moment Ye Xiajie and Warden Lou were having coffee at the stone table that came out of nowhere like the rest of the things. System Yue had just been gone for a few minutes but this was enough for the Ruler of the Nether System to make changes to his wife's space.
The two stared at the scene in disbelief, they didn't know which part they should comment on first before asking the rest.
System Yue murmured, [What the hell happened here? I just left for a few short minutes!]
"Pfft! I never expected him to change this much after meeting his wife. He is starting to act like a househusband who makes sure that everything his wife would use would be prepared even without the latter asking about it. I heard the husband of Ruler God, Mo Baojun is also like this towards his wife. Hahaha~" whispered An Liang to System Yue.
[For real?]
"Yea, My Master said the Origin God had let himself enter the Mo Mansion after meeting his wife for the first time. He acted like a good son-in-law candidate before they got married. His in-laws were welcoming because in the household of Mo the ones who are dominant are the wives instead of the husbands."
When Ye Xiajie noticed their arrival, Warden Lou appeared beside them out of nowhere. Right now, he is in real form as a Warden. He had dark brown hair tied up with a pain hairpin. Wearing a pure black robe and black armor on his body with his face covered in a helmet he looks like a black knight even though his face is hidden within his helmet.
Warden Lou Wuye said, "The Lord calls for you, Lord An. Please follow this way."
"Rigid as always aren't you Lou Wuye? Okay, go ahead…" said An Liang as he and System Yue followed after the warden.
Once they reached the stone table where Ye Xiajie was, An Liang took a seat without any second thought. Warden Lou stood behind his Lord while System Yue hovered in the air not knowing where to stay. He looks like a little moon rotating around the table.
"Haha~ should I say welcome back, Xiaxia~," said An Liang with a playful smile on his face.
"If you don't want to get hit, stop that ridiculous nickname," said Ye Xiajie.
An Liang continues to observe his friend's current state and his eyes brighten whenever he sees that Ye Xiajie's soul has solidified more than he had expected.
"Focusing on meditation for two to three whole worlds is enough to stabilize your dominant soul fragment. Well~ this must be thanks to An who had given most of his accumulated world energy to your vessel every time he completed a world." said An Liang.
[B-Boss what are you… talking about? The Host is giving the Lord God's vessel every energy he got for each world we completed?!!! I didn't know about this. Is this why his soul never recovers even after returning here! Impossible! I never saw him leave the system space!]
"Funny~ Why would he need to leave the system space to do that. His authority in the Nether System is the same as A'Ye. He only needs to control it with his qi and everything in this Nether System would do as he commands. Moreover, you always report to me as soon as you return here. He must have used that as an opportunity to do what he wanted," said An Liang.
Ye Xiajie grabbed his friend's collar and glared at him with bloodshot eyes. The latter remained calm as always as he never feared this short-tempered friend of his.
"Why… WHY DID YOU NOT STOP HIM?! LIANG!!?" yelled Ye Xiajie.
An Liang retorted, "Stop him. How should I do that? His authority is higher than I have, he is technically my superior and you who can stop him is not around. Ask yourself in my place, can you stop him?"
"…" Everyone answered him with silence. Ye Xiajie let go of his friend's collar and calmed down for a moment. An Liang rearranges his robes as he had already expected this Nether God to lose it the moment he learned about this.
"Okay. Let's talk about different things. Prisoner Yun Ming told me that you've met with Xiajun. Is this true?"
Ye Xiajie rolled his eyes on his friend and ignored him. But based on his reaction, what Yun Ming had reported is indeed real.
"Did he meet you to tell you about your past? But this is supposed to be impossible because, like me, I had been forced to make a vow not to tell you anything about the past," An Liang said.
Ye Xiajie asked, "Who forced you to do so?"
"It's the God of Life and Death. Ruler God Mo Baojun. An's Uncle." answered An Liang.
With one of the ruler gods' involvements in this situation, the faces of Ye Xiajie and Warden Lou turned sour. No one could defy Immortal God's wants as everything he wanted to do would be backed up by the Origin God, Shen Siwang himself. Going against the Ruler Gods is just death itself.
An Liang's words didn't just stop there, "By the way, the one who had asked the Ruler God Mo to do that is your wife. Good thing I am allowed to speak vague words. My wife is wife about this." His wife is the God of Space and Dimension, Hei Jue.
Ye Xiajie could still recall the words Hei Jue told him. At that time he was pissed off as the retard was trying to kill him in his weakened state and that if not for his wife, he would be tortured to death by that bastard.
"Your wife warned me to stay away from Jing'er when before all my soul had merged."
"Did Jue'er say anything else?"
"He said… I would kill the person they love the most."
SILENCE~
An overwhelming silence spread in the vast space. Shocked was written all over System Yue's face who had fallen on the ground as he materialized in human form as he was frightened with what he heard. On the other hand, everyone is staring at An Liang who had finally lost the gentle smile on his face.
BAM!
Zhi Yue murmured, "Kill… Kill the person you love!!!???"
Everyone chooses to ignore the fallen kid beside them.
An Liang said, "That was your wife trying to hide from you. But it is not because he is afraid of you killing him but because of something else. A'Ye, I also don't want you to not completely merge your soul. You should never have. I cannot tell you why but… I can assure you. Once your souls had been completely merged, the you right now would disappear and your true bloodline would be awakened. This is what everyone feared. They feared the complete you, even I included. Only your wife didn't. That's why he is still doing his best to help you collect your soul fragments."
"True Bloodline? You mean the bloodline of Ye Gui is not what you are talking about?" asked Ye Xiajie.
An Liang shook his head and said, "Ye Gui can be suppressed by the Mo Bloodline and that is only your father's bloodline. Your mother is different from it. Is it something else? I'm sorry I cannot tell you more about this. You should go ahead and look for your wife. He had entered this star…"
A blue-colored star was pulled from the vast galaxies not far awake from them. He passed it to Zhi Yue who would be able to initiate the transfer.
"One more thing. Your wife had suffered greatly in the last world. In that world, he wouldn't be able to remember you as his memories would be sealed due to his weak soul. Moreover, my wife had given him an artifact to hide his soul presence. It would be harder to know how he was among the rest. But for you, it shouldn't be a problem right?" said An Liang before disappearing from the System Space. He took his leave to continue his job as the Nethergod.
[World Plot:
2nd Blue Star: Ghost World
World Plot: Cursed by the Ghost King, the Protagonist Shou was destined to die. The Protagonist Shou and Protagonist Gong need to fight together to survive the calamity bestowed to them by the King of Hell.]
Zhi Yue said, "My Lord when we enter this world, can I move alone?"
"You want to find Jing'er on your own?" said Ye Xiajie.
"Yes. In my system form, it should be easier for me to look for him than the Lord."
"I will allow you but… you must report to me immediately when you find him only then I would agree."
"Okay," answered Zhi Yue as he turned back to his System Moon Avatar Form.
[Please prepare for transfer in 10….9….5….2…1.
Transfer Complete!]
After they completely entered the world within the blue star.. A familiar feeling of being sucked inside made them uncomfortable.
