Chapter 433: 9.52 Second Blue Star - System Yue and Ye Gui
What happened when Zhi Yue had left to investigate the man who had the same face as their Lord God Ye Xiajie. After receiving permission to leave the ancient palace to scout, System Yue had left and crept into the territory of the Lou Clan. There are no problems with the Lou Kinsmen noticing his arrival as not only he is in invisible mode, original residents of this world are unable to see through his stealth mode.
The land owned by the Clan of Lou is huge. The Main Mansion is at the center and a few meters distance from it are manors owned by the Clan elders. System Yue followed the map in his holographic screen and headed in the direction that will lead him to the underground basement where that man resides.
It was easy for him to enter the place as no one could see him and thus there wasn't one who would block him. Arriving at the Underground Basement System Yue was assaulted with the fishy smell and scent of death. When he looks around in one corner of the area a pile of bones and skin making a small mountain can be seen.
There is a source of scent that only death would have. The land underground is wide but this place looks empty. Except for a huge bed at the center, there is only a small table near the river and aside from those, there is only that small mountain of corpses.
At this moment the owner of his place is bathing. At one point, System Yue realized that this person's existence is rejected by this world. His very existence is a bane. He could only live by killing the innocent which at the same time a pile of bad karma was on himself. He is a Yaoguai, an evil being that feeds on negative emotions. He eats his prey's lifeforce through sex and he can be considered an evil being.
This man named Ye Gui just finished bathing. After leaving the river he dried himself with his qi and pulled a clean robe in some dimensional space. When System Yue sees the quality of this person's robe it could only be called high class. The material used to make his robes can only be found in Vearth.
If not because of this person's weak cultivation stage that couldn't even reach godhood, System Yue would have thought he is a world hopper like them but based on what he sees this man is born in this world and this place itself restricts him. Unless he reached a certain stage of cultivation he would be imprisoned in this mid-tier star forever.
System Yue watched as the man sat at the table and made some tea for himself. His gestures were unlike the crudeness that this place has. With the majestic aura his presence has, his every gesture is elegant yet sharp. This is a demeanor that can only be possessed by those who possess overwhelming strength that can destroy a world with a single wave of his hand. Yes, like Lord Hei, an immortal with pure existence and uniqueness that those who were born from the Origin itself could have.
Ye Gui ignores the invisible thing that sneaks inside his abode. Like his creator, there is no way he would notice some kind of existence that he made with his own soul and mix it with his little one's soul. In this world, those two were made only for them. Only in their hands that those systems would be able to use their full specifications.
He was enjoying his tea when a nauseating scent interrupted him. He glances at the small mountain of garbage that he had forgotten to burn and waves his hand once. A small black flame flew in that direction. Coincidentally, System Yue is also near that location and was caught off guard by the Hell Flames that he thought would instantly take his life.
[He...He noticed me. I'm dead!]
But the black flare passed by his side and instantly burned the small mountain of corpses in the corner of the place. There is no smoke afterward as if extinguished itself once those things turned to ashes. System Yue who thought he would die in that split moment suddenly materialized in his human form and fell on the ground with his knees turned to jelly.
Sips~
"You came. Did you come to check who I am? You aren't supposed to know who I am already, Zhi Yue, or should I call you System Yue now. If I remember it right, according to the memories we have, you should have met your other half, Zhi Yang. Didn't he return your memories?
Your memories got damaged when I first died and you were almost pulled to reincarnation with me. When my soul split into fragments you were affected and lost function for a few years. So, do you remember who I am now?" asked Ye Gui.
Stunned in dazed, Zhi Yue took a few moments before he calmed his chaotic thoughts and checked through his memories countless times. No matter how many times he rebooted his memories this person is that person.
[Lord... Lord Creator. Zhi Yue greets the Ruler God Xia Jieye!]
Xia Jieye only glances at him but that's all.
"Return to your avatar form. In that human form, my hunger in this vessel is too attractive. Unless you want to be eaten by me, change your form." he said.
System Yue jumped out and returned to his little moon form and carefully flew over his lord. Even though he couldn't understand how his lord had split with two dominant sides, he is sure this person here is Ye Xiajie who was formerly known as Xia Jieye, the God of Void.
[M-My Lord... You have... Your memories?]
"Obviously. The Soul core is me after all. The soul core that was destroyed in our last life is nothing but a newly made one. It had no connection to our original existence as the God of Void. So when that other soul of mine was reborn, he only possessed my appearance and the essence which was left after creating the Ye Guis.
He died in inferno the first time, that's why he was reincarnated in the Clan of Ye Guis with an incomplete bloodline. As we are a unique existence, he can never have another pure bloodline that is why he was born mixed to exist while I was gone.
The first time I've died my source and emotions had split. I am the source and Ye Xiajie is the emotions. I was born without emotion but this is given to me by Siwang. Normally, it would be a part of me even after I died."
[Then if the Lords merge what would happen?]
Xia Jieye starts icily at System Yue who trembles in fear. Those crimson eyes were as he remembers, it was like a bloodstone, gorgeous yet eerie. It gave a bewitching sight yet a dangerous feeling.
[This side of the Lord is scarier than the current Lord God. Is it because he doesn't have feelings that could show his thoughts to his face? Even his smirk from before was obviously fake and it was terrible at sight.]
"You seems to be thinking something rude, Zhi Yue,"
[I...I am sorry QAQ...]
"Snort* Do not ask things you shouldn't know. I will restore my connection with you but you don't need to stay by my side. Stay beside Jing'er and protect him for me. That's the only reason for your and Zhi Yang's existence. Though I don't know the story behind Zhi Yang being lent to my supposed younger brother. The time is indeed marvelous. Who would believe that a bane like this Deity would finally have a brother after reincarnation? Maybe the Origin allowed it as I am no longer the Ruler God and gave it to that Tyrant." said Xia Jieye.
[M-My Lord, what should I do? If you aren't going to merge with yourself, whom should I follow if ordered?]
"What a nonsense question? If I am not available there is only one you can never defy anymore, your other master and my other half, Hei Anjing. He had always been your priority. Even Zhi Yang knew that one would never leave the side of Jing'er unless he ordered it himself. How come you are still so silly after a few millennia?" said Xia Jieye
[Sorry~ QAQ~]
Tsk!
Xia Jieye just clicked his tongue at his system and ignored him again as he continued to enjoy his tea. Afterward, System Yue was extorted by his own creator and provided him with lots of things from the System Mall. More than half of the items in the Nether System's Mall's warehouse were taken.
Even before he leaves he was commanded to not tell this event to his other lord. Zhi Yue chose to hide the fact that their Nether System's Warehouse had lost half of its original. He would be scolded to death by Lord God.
What's more worse is that the one who had taken it away is the Lord God itself. He doesn't know whom to blame in this situation. He reported what he knew to the other Lord and unexpectedly he didn't get scolded and was told to leave after he reported.
---
A lot of things happened last night but those who live in the Ancient Palace within the mountain found near the city, they've never cared about the others. After dinner, the ghost king had pulled his subordinates and Xue Yan to drink with him while his wife took a bath.
He was not only depressed that another existed and with his full memories, but he also noticed that Hei Anjing seems to be more interested in that other half of his soul and was still angry at him for what happened in the last world. He wasn't blind enough not to notice the changes in Xue Hua when he was by his side most of the time.
He knew there were times that Hei Anjing would wake up and all those times it was done when he was supposed to be asleep. Every time he wanted to talk to him he would enter his slumber. Because of this, he hasn't asked for forgiveness properly since then. It is not like he could force Hei Anjing to talk to him, as he was afraid to harm him further than he currently did before.
In his heart, after that 500 years of being imprisoned in the last world, Ye Xiajie had vowed to himself that he would never harm his wife anymore. He will not be selfish and do things just because of curiosity. Though the memories his younger brother had shared aren't perfect he could somewhat see what happened in the past and how they ended up in such a state.
That thing in the past is an accident, not something that an evil man had done. Who would have thought that our own father would use our mother just to threaten himself to kill Hei Anjing? He even gives this task as his life mission. If he doesn't do it, he will die. Ye Xiajie is not willing to do it even in exchange for his life. Now he knew why his wife never spoke a word about their memories.
That time was too tragic. He could now understand the source of his wife's trauma. Why he was so afraid of seeing me die before him and why his other half would choose to leave ahead of him most of the time in the other worlds they've visited. That day was a mistake from the beginning.
Just thinking of these things made him want to drink his sorrows and his subordinates had no other choice but to accompany him. The warden who possessed the vessel of the Fox God didn't defy this order and join his lord to drink. Zhi Yue who was unexpectedly silent ever since meeting Xia Jieye was pulled over as well. Even Xue Yan who was accompanying his lover was dragged in as well.
They could only watch as the Ghost King in his human form drinks in buckets. He even didn't use his qi to remove the effect of intoxication from the wine. The wine they were drinking had the highest alcohol percentage it was made to make even the Gods drunk. A specialty from Vearth.
