The whole mountain had fallen into silence. Just one shout from Xue Hua ended the heated bickering between the Ghost King and the God of Void. The two look like bullied puppies not even willing to raise their heads as if Xue Hua had bullied them badly. Kneeling in front of their wives, the Ghost King and the Void God had no face to save. It is better to kneel than let their wife get angry.
Ou Ya murmured, "Wua~ they are kneeling~"
"Shss… You don't understand because you don't have a wife. After you get married to coax your angry wife, this is the best solution even for power couples." whispered Demigod Xie Yi.
Ou Ya asked, "Gramps, did you kneel on the washboard before too?"
"Yes. I even kneeled on the ones made of crystals. Ah~ it was so painful~" said Demigod Xie Yi who was looking dazed with empty eyes.
Gently patting Demigod Yi's shoulder, Ou Ya can only say, "Don't mind. Condolences to you, Brother."
The two got hit on the head by their own partners and said,
"Get up from there already," said Lin Ye.
"The enemies are already here," said Demigod Ling.
Everyone looked at the newly arrived towering White Tiger at the foot of the Mountain. On his back is the human-formed Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Emperor, they were all looking at the guys in the courtyard.
Hu Yue, the Fox God spoke, "They are finally here but how come there are only three Highgods? Where are the Demigods and Gods that we had seen had descended?"
"I feel them… In the city, they were massacring humans regardless of the reason. The Human Land had been destroyed beyond expected," reported Xue Yan. His tone and voice were emotionless like a machine that could honestly report the death of all beings in the world.
Ou Ya and Lin Ye were stunned by what they heard. They still have their own family and sect in this world. They were shocked when they learned that everything in the human realm was destroyed. This means the Family Clans, Sects, and even the Celestial Mountain which shamans and cultivators live in are now all gone.
At this point, everyone except Xue Hua and his group now had ugly expressions. Lin Ye was dazed and speechless. Ou Ya was gritting his teeth in anger as he glared at the three high gods in front of them while the two Demigods, Xie Yi and Shen Ling had ugly expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe things like this were happening. Isn't this even worse than the end of the world?
Ou Ya said, "Is my Ou Family all…"
"They aren't. Those who have all the good karma I had, A'Xia and Yue, move them away to the Upper Realms," said Xue Hua.
Everyone looked at him, his face was calm as always even ignoring the presence of the other beings except for those he chose to accept.
"The humans who had stayed in this mortal realm are those who aren't worthy of living. No worries about those who did good," said Xue Hua as he looked at Xia Jieye and smiled, "Thank you, A'Xia."
The two knew that their wife is no longer angry and stood up from the ground. After dusting off the dirt on themselves, they approached Xue Hua with a smile. Since they act similarly and look the same, it felt creepy. Thankfully Xia Jieye's eyes were crimson in color while Ye Xiajie's are black. Everyone could still differentiate them thanks to their eye colors.
Xia Jieye smiled and said, "Anything for you, my little one. It's been a long time since I have seen you. The last time was… You are even too small and I can only carry you in my arms like a stuffed toy. But now you are so big… And I can barely carry you now," said Xia Jieye as he carried Xue Hua in his arms in a princess hug.
As expected, Xue Hua didn't even struggle and let the man carry him in his arms. Not far from them Ye Xiajie's face is so dark but he didn't pull the two apart and instead sat beside them. He knew that this what the first time his soul core had met their wife after he had died for the first time. According to System Yue, Xia Jieye is his origin name. This is his name in his first life and Hei Anjing was the only one when he had died at that time. Though he had long felt that his love for Hei Anjing is destined, he still never thought that they already knew each other in the past and that he is an old monster that is as old as the Ruler God Shen Siwang. Everyone could only watch as the two cuddled on Xue Hua without saying these three were ignoring everything including the three enemies.
In the minds of the others, everyone could only have the same thoughts, 'Why flirt in front of us!?"
The Dragon Emperor's eyes widened when his eyes landed on Xue Hua. This young man's whole being is covered in a gold aura. These are merits that are overwhelming even for him. He felt greed fill his heart, he couldn't help but think how much their race would be lucky to have this human boy as someone who would bear his future descendants. Though his son had been crippled already, isn't there still him?
"The Golden soul is real. This is amazing. No wonder you wanted to descend so badly and even send your heir here. Though with those two monsters on his side it is only right he would end up like that ha!" said the White Tiger Emperor.
The Phoenix Emperor thinks otherwise. When he saw Xue Hua, he was speechless like the rest. But it wasn't because of this golden soul but instead the presence of Ice phoenix coming from that young man.
The Phoenix Emperor spoke, "This is impossible. I cannot believe this. Isn't he a human!? Why would he have the presence of the phoenix in him? Hmm~ this is not merely a phoenix. A hybrid? Dragon and Phoenix hybrid?"
"Oi. Oi~ Lao Feng, what the hell are you talking about? I don't feel anything else except for his golden aura." said the Emperor of the White Tiger Race.
The Dragon Emperor thought twice as well. He amplified his dragon blood and used his dragon eyes to once again look at Xue Hua. As expected, the Phoenix Emperor is not talking nonsense. "This human child indeed possesses the aura of a hybrid… Not only that there is also a dragon king aura coming from him. What is happening here?!"
At this moment even Ye Xiajie and Xia Jieye were confused. Though they aren't a dragon or a phoenix, they knew how sharp the instincts of these mythical beings were when it comes to their same kind. But there is no way their wife is a godly beast as Xia Jieye himself was there when Hei Anjing was created and born.
Xia Jieye said, "What kind of nonsense are you saying lizard? My little one has been a purebred immortal since birth!?"
"Immortal!!!?"
Ye Xiajie scoffed at him, "Idiot! Watch what you are saying."
Above their heads the Heavenly Laws were forming, looming thick dark clouds appeared above the heads of Xia Jieye.
BOOM! CREAK!
What others didn't expect is for Xia Jieye to attack all of the sudden. Then once again as if heaven was eaten by the darkness, the heavenly tribulations that were about to punish Xia Jieye for saying things about things that a lower world shouldn't mention.
The God of Void looked up and glared at the angered heavens. Instead of ordinary purple thunder and lightning what comes over is a bolt of golden color lightning. It was so huge as if intended to kill Xia Jieye with one strike.
"Hmp! How absurd! That a mere heavenly will would dare bear this fangs against this ruler. Abyss, eat them!" commanded Xie Jieye.
Following the words of the God of Void, all darkness and shadows within this mid-sized star move under his command. It formed a black dragon with crimson eyes directly opening its huge mouth swallowing the dark clouds including the lightning and thunder.
BOOOM! ROOOAAARRR!!
Then only the sound of something huge swallowing the heaven itself echoes. This sound was heard all over the human realm even those in the upper realm had heard about it. Those who had witnessed it were petrified in shock. That was the heavenly laws, something that retains the order of this world. But with just one order from this black robe man, the darkness had eaten it in one gulp.
Now there is only silence and tension in the whole world. All eyes focused on Xia Jieye who was still hugging the young man called Xue Hua in his embrace.
The only one who had reacted in that situation was only Ye Xiajie while Hei Anjinh didn't care at all as he was feeling so sleepy within that warm embrace.
The Ghost King said, "You…! How are you able to wield that much strength without destroying the world!? Moreover isn't our main element Fire?"
Xia Jieye looks at Ye Xiajie like a fool. He couldn't believe what he was hearing from this soul before him.
"Are you kidding me? Fire as the main element? Are you stupid? Our origin is the void. We are born in the abyss. We are the Darkness while Siwang is the Light. If not, why would the fire you use be hell flames instead of the gold flames? Though you can use hell flames, time elements, and holy elements, those are just auxiliary elements. Our main goal is Darkness." said Xia Jieye.
Demigod Yi spoke out, "Dear Venerable Lords~ I do not think that this is a problem of which element is main but… The fact that you had eaten the Heavenly Laws!!! What does this mean!? Will there be no more Tribulations during ascension? No heavenly punishments to anything anymore?"
It was the ghost king that spoke, "Yea, no more. But I suggest those who can ascend to leave this star as soon as possible. This is a world that would be resetting after we leave."
"Reset the world? What do you mean, Your Majesty?" asked Demigod Shen Ling.
"Because this bastard ate the heavenly wills of this star sooner or later it would die. Before it dies we would have to reset the world to repair it. Repairing means replacing the heavenly wills that are eaten, reversing the ruined state of the human realm and the time itself would rewind. Everyone in it would rewind their time and this world would start a new life.
But when that happens those who are in it would be affected as well. Though those who had changed their fates like Ou Ya, Lin Ye, and the others like the Lou Clan and Feng Clan, it would rewind to the state where it was changed. The fact that Ou Ya had returned to the Ou Clan would remain and Lin Ye becoming the Young Lord of his sect would also be the same as before." explained Ye Xiajie.
Then he glanced at the three Emperors that wanted to escape from the corner of his eyes.
"There is also one unchangeable thing."
A black ball of flames appeared on the top of his palms and waved it towards the mythical emperors of the Upper Realm. It even split into three and flew towards the Emperors. In the first place, these godly beasts are nothing in the eyes of Ye Xiajie, Xia Jieye, and Xue Hua.
"RUUUNNN!!!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
"Please spare us, Immortals!!!"
But the Ghost King and the God of Void watch them with an apathetic gaze, they look like they were already staring at dead beings. They have always been merciless towards those who gave a bad look towards their wife. Watching the Mythical Creatures burnt alive within the black flames only tormented screams spread in the area. It wasn't the same scream as what humans do but a beastly scream of a tiger, dragon, and bird. The world trembles under their screams. Those who are weaker suffer the feeling of their head throbbing until it explodes. Lou Ming and his elders from both the Lou and Feng Clan died with their heads exploding due to the strong sound waves.
Before his head explodes, Lou Ming's happiness in marrying his first wife and bringing his two sons to this world flashes in his mind. He smiled wryly as he gently stared at his two sons wanting to reach out and hug them for the last time. Sadly, he wasn't given that opportunity and he died instantly like the others.
Lou Lan and Feng Hou were the chosen children by the heavenly will of this world but now that even heaven itself was eaten there is now nothing that could protect them. Their ending is not much different than Lou Ming and the others.
Ou Ya and the others were covering their ears but a lotus-shaped barrier surrounds their whole being protecting them securely inside. This is the amulet effect Xue Hua had given to them: it would be able to block life-threatening situations as much as the petals exist. That one soundwave attack caused a single petal now their lotus amulet only has 7 more petals left. They would be safe for 7 more times.
Among the group, the only ones unaffected are Xia Jieye who was covering the ears of his wife, Xue Hua who already has his eyes closed asleep, and Ye Xiajie who now looks fierce as he was pissed off so much. The Fox God protected his wife, Xue Yan, and his amulet was not activated because of it.
Xie Jieye scolded himself, "What are you still waiting for? You want to wake up our wife!? Cleanly kill those beasts off."
"Do not order me around," retorted Ye Xiajie with a single wave of his hand as the hell flames that covered the three emperors turned hotter. It only took a few minutes before they no longer exist in this world.
"Too noisy.. What would you do if you wake up my consort!" said Ye Xiajie before the three could even beg they had perished slowly but surely.
