The Dragon Emperor, Phoenix Emperor, and the White Tiger Emperor had all perished under the Hell flames ignited by the Ghost King. Their howls only lasted for a few minutes before they disappeared completely from the world. Those who had witnessed such a mysterious scene left them dumbfounded. Among the group, only the Xue brothers, the Fox God, the Ghost King, and the Evil God of this world reacted calmly.
Xia Jieye gently carried the sleeping Xue Hua in his arms. Seeing him carrying away their wife, Ye Xiajie had reacted uncalled for.
"Where are you bringing Jing'er?" asked Ye Xiajie, his face is as dark as ink.
Seeing his other self's ugly expression he knew that their possessiveness is so strong that he could bear even himself to have their wife on his own. He himself actually isn't willing to share his little one with this bastard as well.
Scoffing at the ghost king opening, Xia Jieye replied, "Bring him to the bedroom. You do not have to worry about anything else, in this world I myself am not willing to hold him. I couldn't even kiss him with this malevolent physique. As a Yaoguai God, anything that involves desires would become food for me instead. Instead of being jealous, clean up this place instead our little one had been an extremely clean freak by nature."
After saying these words everyone understood that the man before them is an Evil being. This is the first time they've heard about a Yaoguai reaching God's state with immortal strength. It must be thanks to his powerful soul that he could even overwhelm the Heavenly Laws himself. Ye Xiajie calmed down when he heard about Xia Jieye's physique.
As a man who loves Hei Anjing the most, he knew that for someone like Xia Jieye who possesses their whole memories, he wouldn't be like him who would unintentionally hurt their wife. That's right, unlike him who didn't know a few things about their past, this God of Void knew everything that there is to know. He could only watch his other self walk away carrying Xue Hua who was sleeping.
Everyone from their original group knew that even after merging and getting reborn in this world was not enough to heal the injuries of Hei Anjing. In the first place, his soul was never complete. The energy he collected from this world is only enough to stabilize his soul and not let it fade away.
The Ghost King averted his eyes and clicked his tongue. With a snap of a finger, every puddle of blood and corpses were instantly burned by the hell flames. It perished as it had never existed in the first place. He then looked at his subordinates. System Yue even materialized in the human form beside the Fox God and Xue Yan. His eyes were cold and aloof as always. He is the Lord God whose eyes only soften in the presence of his wife.
Ye Xiajie spoke, "Warden Lou, Yue, return this courtyard and the whole disheveled mountain to normal. Afterward, begin the repair of this world. As for this world's characters, I mean the guests, Xue Yan will handle their needs. I need to talk to him in private, do not call us unless it is important or it's time for dinner."
"As you wish, Lord God!" All three of them responded with their heads lowered and respectfully saluting towards the Godly figure before them.
Only after he finished issuing orders that Ye Xiajie took a step that made him appear a mile away. He instantly disappeared in front of them. No one tried to stop the three from leaving just based on what they had witnessed it is clear to say that Xue Hua, Xia Jieye, and Ye Xiajie were not merely ordinary Gods. Even for Demigods like Shen Ling and Xie Yi, these three are beyond their understanding. They are beings whose strength is unparalleled in this world.
Plus they've heard them call this world a Mid-tier star. This can only mean that even the planets have ranks and the world energy this world possesses is only in the middle range within an unknown ranking for them. For humans like Ou Ya and Lin Ye what they had experienced is something they wouldn't understand unless they've reached the cultivation stage of a God.
As for the Demigods like Shen Ling and Xie Ye who had peered on the truth of the world could somehow guess that the group of Xue Hua composed of the Ghost King, Yaoguai God, Fox God, and Xue Yan had identities that are beyond what the world knew. And among the five of them, the Fox God and that young-looking teenager are subordinates that serve the Ghost King and the Yaoguai God. As they said, these two men were both a part of one person. They are the same person.
Meanwhile, Xue Hua's identity is quite special. He is the wife of the immortal lords. Moreover, he seems to be an immortal with injuries in his soul and went to this star to take a rest. But this fact is enough to tell the other that his strength might be not far from the Xia Jieye and Ye Xiajie who could instakill high gods of their world. Even as a cultivator that is considered the strongest in the Upper Realm, under the eyes of the three immortal beings they aren't much different from an ant. They could kill them with a single wave of their hands and this left everyone astonished and stunned.
SILENCE~
Ou Ya, Lin Ye, Demigod Shen Ling, and Demigod Xie Yi were standing like statues to where they currently are. Hu Yue and System Yue had made their move to return the whole mountain and everything in it to normal. They must also create a formation that would separate the whole mountain so it wouldn't be affected when the world undergoes repairs and reset to its original state.
Repairing the world is usually only done by Repairers from the God System. They weren't like the Executioners whose only job is to kill and eliminate destroyers that entered illegally in the world. Most worlds where executioners had gone to are stars that are evidently about to die. They had orders to clean up all the bugs before the world entered the reset mode.
In the God System, Executioners and Repairers usually work as a team. Only Stabilizers are flexible. They could work it either or work alone. After all, if the situation in a star is already beyond stabilization the jobs would fall on Executioners and Repairers. The cultivators who work as Stabilizers could never go against the Heavenly Laws of the world as they need to work together with it to control the whole star and make sure its state had returned to normal.
Executioners and Repairers on the other hand would only come over a world if the bugs in the World Database of a Star are already beyond the control of Stabilizers. It was like reformatting a program. In this case, the program is the Heavenly Laws of each world. This Heavenly law is a collection of wills that keeps the world balanced. The bugs that affected the programs were being called destroyers or Worldhoppers that went against the world plot. They are like viruses that disrupt the stability of a world.
The Executioners' and Repairers' task is to handle the bugs. Executioner kills the bugs while the Repairers initiate time-reversal which could only mean resetting. Once the world is undergoing a reset the possibility of the main characters in each world plot can be replaced especially when they got infected by a virus. Once those characters are replaced the world plot would also change.
In rare cases, there are worlds that would enter upgrades. This only happens when the world itself reaches a threshold that would allow it to increase the world's energy. Every upgrade is controlled by the God System as all Universes, Stars and World out there are under their control.
Right now the Ghost World Hei Anjing and the rest are about to be reset. This is because not only the Heavenly Laws of this world were eaten by the God of Void even the Protagonists Shou and Gong were both killed as well plus the world plot of this world had been totally broken by Hei Anjing and the rest. Normally their group wouldn't care about world destruction or resetting but in this world, Xue Hua is unable to leave. Since he was reincarnated in this world with a vessel born in this star, he must live a whole lifespan of a human in this world only then his soul would be free to ascend beyond this star. That's why Ye Xiajie ordered the world to be repaired instead of directly resetting it. As they still needed to stay in this world for a few decades until the vessel of Xue Hue died in natural death.
After System Yue and Hu Yue disappear to do their tasks, Xue Yan remains to make the other three make a choice. He had a serious expression on his face and looked at the four people in front of him with an observing gaze. It is completely different from how he would usually interact with Ou Ya and Lin Ye as his friends or when treating the two Demigods as seniors.
His light golden eyes are dull and his face is expressionless. He looks like he is facing strangers but this is what Yun Ming is when working. He is the type to only follow orders without question and everything must be completed with 100 percent success. Almost most Gods are perfectionists like this as they were aloof in the first place they would never care about the others unless necessary.
Of course, the four of them realized the change of atmosphere around Xue Yan. Even though his presence wasn't as overbearing as what the Ghost King and the God of Void possess, it is undeniable that the Xue Yan who stood before them is a God that is stronger than the Mythical Emperor from before. Plus his aura was restrained by something but it is enough to make these four nervous.
Ou Ya protected Lin Ye behind him and asked, "A-Are you… Still Xue Yan? The Yanyan we know?"
"This vessel's name is Xue Yan. I had taken over this body for 15 years," replied Prisoner Yun Ming.
Lin Ye spoke, "15 years ago you were only a teenager whose age was 18. So that was already you when you met us. Did you choose us to destroy the so-called plot of this world? Is our world like books with our own stories and characters? Are we characters involved in this story? The Ghost King called us characters. We are involved in the world plot of this world right?"
Xue Yan observes Lin Ye who was asking the truth of this world. Since he had realized this it means sooner or later this child would be able to remove the restriction of the world he had and fly somewhere beyond this star. Normally only those who had ascended are able to guess such a thing. A character unrestricted by its own world plot would be able to enter Vearth that is only if he reached the threshold for it.
Xue Yan responded calmly, "The answer to all your questions is Yes. The reason I saved you and Ou Ya 15 years ago is to destroy the original plot of this world. After all, the vessel I and Lord Hei possessed had the role of cannon fodders who are deemed to die if the plot is followed. But this is only possible because Xue Hua is Lord Hei."
Demigod Shen Ling had somewhat understood their conversation. "Are you saying without Xiao Hua even you are unable to destroy the plot as you wish?"
"Yes, only those with extremely high standing in the Highest Realm world are able to possess an Authority to go against the Heavenly Laws of this world. The Lord God who possessed the Ghost King's character and his other soul who possessed the vessel of Yaoguai God does not have this authority but they have enough capabilities to destroy this world if they wanted. They didn't harm this world because Xue Hua is here.
I cannot tell you why we are here but we meant no harm to this world. We will only stay here temporarily and we have to live in the future as long as Xue Hua said to leave. The two lords would also stay because Xue Hua is here. When he chooses to leave, we are also going to leave."
The four of them sat at the table with Xue Yan who had pulled a tea set out of thin air. They were surprised with this sight but after learning their identities they could somewhat accept the fact that Xue Yan is like the other guys, he is a Godly figure not originally from this world.
They sat together around a stone table. While the land around them is being repaired on its own. They knew this was the doing of the Fox God and the young man whose name they didn't know. They choose to observe while at the same time asking questions which Xue Yan answers one by one.. The truth of this world was being foretold to them in detail and all they needed to do is to listen and understand.
