I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

920 14.196 Last Violet Star – Before the Final War II

The construction of Lu Yi’s vessel was added all of a sudden to the plan. Even though Xia Jieye will not start from scratch, he can only see if he has any sample soul puppets in his inventory. After searching among the remnants of his inventions for a time, Xia Jieye eventually selected the best one.

Yun Huaxia, who is still concerned about the fate of the Imperial City, asked his younger brother and Hei Anjing in front of him while it was determined that Lu Yi would accompany his younger brother during the war. These two could already be aware of what transpired following the survivors’ departure from the Capital.

Yun Huaxia asked, “A’Wuan, is it possible for me to ask what happened in the Imperial City right now?”

Hei Anjing nods as he begins to calculate and pinches his fingers to make a prediction. Hei Anjing gave Yun Huaxia his typical candid and forthright response. He didn’t try to hide the truth from Sect Master Yun Huaxia, whether the news was good or bad.

“Imperial City is no more. The Black Dragon and Hou Longqing were taken away. The former ascended to Godhood and the latter had fallen into a deep slumber from death.” Hei Anjing summarizes the whole result with just a few words. He didn’t choose to explain the details as all they need to know is whether Heilan and Hou Longqing are alive.

Yun Huaxia showed an expression of relief on his face when he heard that the two were alive but was a bit confused about how Heilan could suddenly ascend into Godhood. The rest were also a bit bewildered.

“How can Heilan ascend just like that?” asked Lu Yi.

Xia Jieye answered his question and said, “Hou Longqing, the current Human Emperor, gave him the Providence for the Human Race. With all the luck of one’s race, one can ascend to Godhood. This opportunity is meant for Hou Longqing but gave it to the black dragon.”

“Providence? The power of nature and luck. That can be given away?” asked Lu Er.

.....

Hei Anjing said, “Okay, it can but... These things were given to those who were rightfully chosen by the world. Giving it away means ripping a part of your soul and giving it to another person.”

When they heard what Hei Anjing said, they were shocked and couldn’t believe what they had just heard. Especially Yun Huaxia who felt that both Heilan and Hou Longqing were safe at first now thought otherwise and maybe something bad had happened to Hou Longqing because he gave away his providence to Heilan.

Bai Qiyin asked, “Gege, is Hou Longqing still alive?”

“Alive but unable to wake up,” answered Hei Anjing.

Jin Shiyan asked, “Why?”

“Because his soul is injured, unless the Dragon Rac has a medicine or herb that can heal the soul, he can only continue to sleep.” Xia Jieye said. “Elder Brother, you should make preparations. The barrier around the Imperial City is at least True Immortal Class. It is the same one as the one around the whole west territory. If the Demon race attacks, the outer barrier would be destroyed regardless.”

As Yun Huaxia thought about the nobility Hei Anjing had stopped from entering the city because they had previously attempted to kill his younger brother, he cast a malicious smirk in his direction.

He clearly understood the question he wanted to ask and didn’t need to speak since Hei Anjing answered it.

“No. They are not allowed in. If they go in I will remove the barrier around the city.”

Sigh~

While others couldn’t help but sense that the smiling person in front of them was actually spiteful, Sect Master Yun could only sigh helplessly. If you offend him even once, your future will never be pleasant. Nobody makes a plea on behalf of that nobility. Why would they worry about it when they were cultivators and those haughty lords were only mortals in their eyes? Also, if they beg for them, Hei Anjing would become irritated, therefore it’s preferable if they claim not to have heard anything just now.

Hei Anjing spoke, “The barrier around the sect is the strongest. Elder Brother Yun can decide what to do next after hearing this.”

“Keep in mind. We will only make our move once the Devil in the white hood has shown himself. As for the Seven Deadly Sins, you can work with Baoshi, Cao Roulan, and Qingyu.” advised Xia Jieye.

“The Heavenly Soldiers would listen to your commands during the war.” Added Hei Anjing.

“I want to try ascending but I don’t want to go to the Upper Realm yet, is it possible?” Yun Huaxia asked.

Sect Master Yun had crossed the Ascension Stage’s threshold and had reached the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage. He had the ability to ascend for some time, but after witnessing the devastation brought on by the Demon Race, he opted to delay it since he didn’t want to abandon his wife, his family, or his sect. But, Yun Huaxia was forced to increase his strength further due to the conflict with the Devils, whose might is manifestly more than what a Mortal Realm could achieve.

Xia Jieye threw a clear stone toward his elder brother and said, “Keep it close to you after Ascension. It would hide your existence from the Heavenly Laws.”

“What is this stone?” Bai Qiyin asked.

“Law Evading Stone. It helps immortals to evade the sight of the Heavenly Laws. Unless you caused a big ruckus and the stone didn’t break even as a God you can stay in the Mortal Realm for 100 years.” Xia Jieye said.

Yun Huaxia decided to leave and start the final preparations for the war. Lu Yi, Lu Er, Jin Shiyan, and Bai Qiyin all left with him. They knew they had to work together to survive this war. The involvement of this couple would only happen when a being that is not supposed to exist in this world appears.

Jin Shiyan asked, “Actually I’ve been meaning to ask... What is the cultivation of the Seven Deadly Sins the King of Devils had created?”

“Half-Immortal to True Immortal Stage. That’s their strength. As for why they can stay here in the lower realm instead of ascending is simple. The Upper Realm is ruled by the Heavenly Domain and they forbid Devils and Demons from ascending. They would push them down if ever one tried to ascend. So like other immortals, they can only use that stone. That stone can only be found in the depths of the Infernal Region.” Xia Jieye explained.

Lu Er commented, “No wonder the Devils are too powerful for the cultivators of the Mortal Realm. Because they are immortals who can only stay in the Lower Realm.”

“How many Devils still exist?” asked Lu Yi.

Hei Anjing answered, “Five. The two were killed by me. Two were on our side and three were from the enemy’s side. Ignore the last devil. He might be the one in the white hood who is supposed to be our opponent. As for the two, Jin Baihua would definitely be with them. You can help others to defeat them.”

“Okay. I understand the plan more or less.” Lu Yi said.

Yun Huaxia said, “Let’s stop wasting time and use the remaining time to prepare. I will enter Seclusion for a bit. Yin’er, call me if things have gone bad. I want to try ascending to Godhood.”

“Okay. Leave it to me.” Bai Qiyin said.

The guests said their goodbyes and then headed back to their separate homes after leaving the mountain. Upon the departure of the guests, Cao Roulan and Devil Qingyu with a baby boy in their arms suddenly emerged. Hei Anjing only gave them a passing glance as he engaged his young children in play. Xia Jieye gave them an instruction after glancing at them.

“The day after tomorrow you must fulfill the end of your oath. The war should end by then whether you gain your freedom or reach your doom would be decided by the actions you will take. Go and make your preparations.”

“Yes, Chun Hongyun-Jun.”

The two of them once again disappeared after hearing the words of their new lord. After all, the outsiders had taken their leave, Xia Jieye went to his wife and hugged him.

“You have no intention of getting involved in the war, don’t you? Ever since the Devil in the White hood appeared your plans were all made to change. Can you tell me why, Jing’er?” asked Xia Jieye.

Hei Anjing toyed with his fingers while firmly leaning against the man’s chest. While playing with Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang, the twins were also nearby. Hei Anjing grinned at this serene sight. Instead of his typical fake-looking mischievous smile, which even Xia Jieye seldom sees, he displays a genuine smile. Before Hei Anjing answered Xia Jieye’s query, he took some time to open his mouth.

“Compared to the lives of the people in this world to yours, there is no need for me to make a choice. My choice would only be you in the end.”

Hei Anjing’s answer wasn’t direct and full of unknown meanings but Xia Jieye never asked him for the second time after receiving the first answer. As if he could already see the answer hidden within the riddles of his wife’s words.

Xia Jieye spoke, “Is he a person not only capable of killing but also much more dangerous than Ye Mo?”

“Hm. He hates you much more than Ye Mo’s unwanted hatred. The latter was just envious of you for everything that you have while the former...”

A sudden pause from Hei Anjing’s words left the conversation a bit awkward and tense yet Xia Jieye didn’t urge his wife to speak fast or ask for answers. He waited as patiently as he could.

Hei Anjing suddenly looked up and met Xia Jieye’s gaze which was looking down to meet his eyes. A knowing smile appeared on Hei Anjing’s lips and said,

“I think you already know the reason why... Didn’t that stupid cousin of mine show you what it was? Hm~”

Xia Jieye’s calm and apathetic demeanor couldn’t help but change. His eyes slightly trembled and showed extreme emotions of guilt, regret, and sadness—one that couldn’t a person couldn’t pretend not to see. Even Hei Anjing who intentionally caused such changes in his lover’s emotions couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

Hei Anjing reached out his hands and wrapped them around Xia Jieye’s neck pulling him in a hug.

“I know it wasn’t your fault. Of course, they also knew but... their anger and hatred are also justified after all... it is a promise that shouldn’t be broken that was forgotten.”

The words of Hei Anjing ring in Xia Jieye’s ears. The intense guilt grips his heart so that he can barely breathe. It was so painful that Xia Jieye almost couldn’t hold back his tears.

Xia Jieye said, “I can pay for it. I am. Willing to give up everything including this life of mine.”

“But you can’t... What I want you to do is to keep living. What about my sacrifices and suffering if you give up your life now? Is my love not important as their compensation for guilt? A’Xia, my love... There are a few things you should remember.”

“They may hate you enough to want to kill. May dislike you enough to cause you pain. Might have loathed you for forgetting them but there is only one thing you should remember. My love for you is absolute and would never change.”

“My love, this time continues living even if it’s painful to bear. After all, unlike before you are no longer alone. You have me, Xiao Jing, Xiao Mo, and Xiao An. Don’t treat your life for granted anymore.” Hei Anjing said

No one has a better understanding of this man’s attitude toward life than Hei Anjing. Maybe it was because he had always been alone when he first came into this world. Confined to that gloomy world with nothing but solitude and loneliness. The world of the abyss is never completely empty, yet at the same time, no one, save the true monarch, can see what is concealed there.

The Ruler, however, is the one who stands in the Abyss alone the most since no one can replace him there. Yet because only one creature was born with it, the emptiness doesn’t allow for changes to happen very readily. The rest who wish to take over are no different than sacrifices that can be replaced at any moment.

As a result, the person left behind when Xia Jieye initially emerged from the Abyss became a sacrifice to keep the throne occupied. The sacrifice’s life was never a joyous one. He can only endure all the negative emotions in that world for a very long period. Who wouldn’t get insane if they stayed there?
