Chapter 478: 11.4 First Green Star [Past] What Happened After Ye Xiajie's Death? (2)
The couple looked at each other's faces and no one knew what was going on in their minds.
Mo Baojun suddenly asked, "Xiao Jing'er, are you serious when you choose this man as your other half? You know that he would become your sole weakness when you decide to choose him as your other half."
"I am sure, Uncle Baobei."
"He possesses the purest blood of the Ye Gui race. Are you sure he isn't here by your side because he wanted to kill you instead?"
"I am his life mission. He severed his own heart root and died for me when Ye Mo tried to kill me. My heart wouldn't lie. Uncle, this man is my everything."
Shen Siwang teasingly whispered to his wife and said, "Wifey, your Clan's stubbornness towards your chosen other half is truly astonishing~"
"Shut up!" scolded Mo Baojun to his husband. "Go! Trace that bastard. He must not have gone too far yet!"
Shen Siwang kissed his wife before leaving to follow the traces of Ye Mo. It is better to eliminate that man before anything else now that they've found him.
"I will be back soon." said Shen Siwang to his wife and glanced at Hei Jue and ordered, "Keep that body safe. We will return it to the Imperial Jade Family in Vearth. I heard that before she got married to Ye Mo. The Jade Family force Ye Mo to make a promise to never their daughter regardless of anything. Now that she had died because of him, he had to pay for it." Then Shen Siwang disappeared in thin air.
No one knew where he went but they all knew that he would be coming over to pursue Ye Mo who had run away.
After Shen Siwang had taken his leave. Mo Baojun continued his conversation with his nephew. There's already coldness within the Tyrant's eyes as he stares at the corpse his beloved nephew is cuddling.
Mo Baojun said, "I do not approve of him as your other half. I had never liked him in the first place."
"But Uncle... You cannot decide for me when it comes to the chosen other half of anyone in our family, especially my own other half," said Hei Anjing.
The coldness in Mo Baojun's eyes flutters. He also knows that as long a Mo had chosen his other half the family members had no other choice but to accept it. That's why even when the Mo Family learns about Shen Siwang's Supreme standing they've only treated him as a son-in-law chosen by Mo Baojun. His identity and background did not affect the Mo Clan as they themselves are a family of Unique existences.
But Mo Baojun didn't want to accept Ye Xiajie as his nephew's other half. Not only is this man's origin as strong as his husband's, but this person had also always hated the Mo Family until Hei Anjing was born. Moreover, what's this man's situation? His soul core and soul fragments had split into countless numbers. Plus with no memories as the God of Void, there is no precedent that he wouldn't harm his beloved nephew in the end.
Now that his nephew had chosen him as his other half even though they aren't official yet as they haven't completed the trials of marriage if this man wanted to kill Hei Anjing, his nephew could only die. Dying under the hands of his other half means true death for a Mo like them. Didn't he die that way? And the man who killed him is this person who controlled his husband's body at the last moment and ripped his life. This is why Mo Baojun never likes the God of Void.
Hei Anjing knew his uncle never liked Ye Xiajie and he hated him more now that he learned his name. Though he couldn't understand why his Uncle Baobei and Uncle Siwang wouldn't tell him what A'Xia's real identity is, just based on their reaction is enough to say that A'Xia's origin might be special. But regardless, Hei Anjing is not willing to let him go, plus he still needs his uncles to help to bring his beloved back to life.
Hei Anjing spoke, "Uncle, I promise you and vow with my life in line that A'Xia would definitely not kill me in the end."
"What is it for me?" asked Mo Baojun.
Hei Anjing said, "If in the end, he ended up killing me I... I would allow Uncle to kill him in the end."
"So in the end even if he betrays you, you are still willing to die with him... Sigh~" said Mo Baojun.
Hei Jue yelled, "No! Venerable Lord Mo, you can't agree to this! Why does Jing'er need to be sacrificed for the wrong of that man?"
"Even I wanted to kill him and end this right this instant but... Xiao Jing'er is correct. In our clan, as long as a family member has chosen their own counterpart, we are not able to interfere. What Xiao Jing had promised me just now is the sole loophole of our bloodline's tradition.
It is usually not allowed to kill a family member regardless of reason but... There is an exemption to it. The Mo who was killed had permitted another Mo. Once the promise is broken, the one who had exchanged the promise with would be allowed to kill the traitor who killed his other half. Xiao Jing'er had given me that permission.
If in the end Ye Xiajie failed this trial and ended up killing my nephew he would die under my hands regardless of the situation.
Xiao Jing'er I don't believe in that man at all. But for your sake then I will accept your decision. If in the end, he failed to reach your condition I shall complete the side of my promise even if my own husband tries to stop me." said Mo Baojun as he summoned his mount which is an Ice Phoenix with King bloodline.
"Come on up. We will not use teleportation as the place I will bring to an island that forbids outside elements.
Hei Jue, we will drop you by the east territory. Complete the task Siwang gave you."
"Yes, Venerable Lord Mo," said Hei Jue.
They've ridden on the back of the Ice Phoenix and flew away from the planet. Hei Anjing controlled the Ice his Uncle used to cover the whole world of inferno and transformed the world into a sanctuary of snow and lotus. Countless tombstones made of ice had engraved names on them. These are the names of all his subordinates that died to protect him in that world.
Mo Baojun and Hei Jue didn't say a word when they said Hei Anjing did such a thing. Though it's rare for someone as cold-hearted as Hei Anjing to care about his subordinates' death, these actions of his show rare humanity coming from this Winter God.
"I should at least give them land to rest in peace. In this lifetime they had served me. They've helped me protect what I wanted to protect. This is my gratitude to them." whispered Hei Anjing.
Mo Baojun said, "I will give you that planet. As to what you wish to do, it would be your choice. Sleep, I will wake you up when we arrive."
His tone is a bit cold but it was mellowed enough as he coaxed his nephew to sleep. Hei Jue felt his heartache when he saw his young cousin brother even hugging that corpse to sleep. He had to cover them both with a blanket he pulled out from his own storage.
Hei Jue asked, "Venerable Lord, where are they bringing them? Are you able to bring this man back to life?"
"Don't ask what you've already known. As a person of Hei Clan, it is impossible, you didn't know about the story of me and Siwang," said Mo Baojun as he didn't even turn his head around from his nephew.
Except for his family and the other half of his siblings those who are connected by blood to their other half had nothing to do with him. This is why Hei Jue was not allowed to call him uncle. To him, the only ones who could do so are the children of his elder brother and younger sister.
Hei Jue shut his mouth after hearing that. The story of how Supreme Lord Shen had revived Venerable Lord Mo is a famous story. It was said that the Supreme Lord had pleaded with the Origin itself to revive his lover but only a few knew the details of it. Only the unique existence knew about the way to revive another unique existence. But there is a monument about the sacred trial of rebirth. There are prerequisites for it to be completed and he had heard about the 3 important trials of marriage.
The Trial of Marriage is also practiced by the Mo Family to officiate their other halves so as long Hei Anjing completed these trials, the sole weakness of a Mo Bloodline would be broken as the couple would share everything between them. Lifetime, abilities, thoughts, and even their life force. It is a permanent marriage vow that no one could defy. As long as one of the pairs is alive, the other would never die. You need to kill both of them together to be able to kill them.
In the current era, the only couples who have completed these trials are the couples in Mo Clan which includes Supreme Lord Shen and the God of Punishment, Hei Sian. It was because of Hei Sian that Hei Jie knew about this sacred trial.
Hei Jue bit his lips and murmured, "Is this man even worthy of Jing'er just because Jing'er chose him?"
Mo Baojun heard his words but he didn't comment as he himself knows that deep inside his heart he doesn't accept this Evil God ending up being with his nephew whom he had to groom himself since childhood. He loved Hei Anjing as much as he loved his sons.

After dropping off Hei Jue to the East Territory to return the corpse of the Jade Princess to her own home, Mo Baojun had brought Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie to an unknown dimension filled with only clouds. There is nothing on it except countless clouds in the sky. These clouds created an island and one would feel floating on soft clouds in this place.
This was the first time Hei Anjing had come to this place. It was a weird place with nothing but just clouds. The mount of Mo Baojun was frightened when the place was at sight and he had no other choice but to walk on foot in this place.
Mo Baojun said, "Follow me. The one who would give you the trials to revive your other half is in this place."
While carrying Ye Xiajie's corpse on his back, Hei Anjing looked bewildered with what he was seeing right now. There is even a power that could restrain him completely in this place.
Hei Anjing asked, "Uncle, what is this place?"
"The Origin lives here. The only ones who could come here are those with unique existence like our Mo Clan and someone like your Uncle Siwang and that man on your back. We are already there. You ask what you want to do and he will give you what you must do." said Mo Baojun.
They stopped at the center of the island and saw nothing in it. Mo Baojun stood where he was without saying a word and Hei Anjing was as patient as his Uncle. He was taught to be extremely patient as things he truly wanted. He is well-mannered as he didn't speak a word of curse and just waited. He just keeps waiting.
Hei Anjing didn't know how long he had been standing there. Whether it's days, months, years, or a decade, he chooses to stay where he is and stand waiting. Beside him, his Uncle had a helpless smile on his face yet his gaze was gentle as always. Only when he saw his uncle turn his head towards the horizon and gave it a glare that
The clouds away and move around, a voice of unknown gender was heard talking everywhere on the island.
&123;My new god of life and death hadst hath lost his temp'r just because i ign'r'd thy family memb'r f'r a did bite.&125;
Translation: "My new God of Life and Death had lost his temper just because I ignored your family member for a bit."
"Please do not waste time. Do you wish to lose your Original Supreme God of Darkness this way?" said Mo Baojun.
&123;At yond timeth i hadst already given those folk the chance to chooseth which those gents did want. But both chooseth to giveth up their p'rmanent existences f'r the sake of reviving thee. This one nay longeth'r cares which of which wouldst becometh the new supreme l'rd. As longeth as one can possesseth such a position to holp me stabilize this origin then aught 'r anyone couldst has't the roles&125;
Translation: "At that time I had already given them the chance to choose which they wanted. But both choose to give up their permanent existences for the sake of reviving you. This one no longer cares which of which would become the new Supreme Lord. As long as one can possess such a position to help me stabilize this Origin then anything or anyone could have the roles."
"I think you are just angry because your children choose someone over you."
&123;Thee and thy family art mine own children as well. All unique existence who is't were b'rn out of nowh're all weret b're by me. Thou art mine own children the same f'r all of thy descendants&125;
Translation: "You and your family are my children as well. All unique existence who were born out of nowhere all were born by me. You are my children, the same for all of your descendants."
"I see. Then don't ignore these children of yours. One is your most beloved son of darkness and the other is my Mo family descendants. Isn't it good now that your loneliest son has finally met his other half? Why are you even ignoring them?"
The voice of the Origin continues his conversation with Mo Baojun ignoring the youngster that was watching on the side. Their interactions were like friends and sometimes like an elder reprimanding his junior.. But it didn't deny the fact that they acted like close family with blood relations despite having.
