Chapter 606: 12.8 Unknown Star – SSS World: Vearth, Nether System (0)

The news about the return of Hei Jue and An Liang’s daughter had spread all over Vearth and in the other worlds. Some spies Ye Mo left in Vearth received the news about the death of his second wife. The news about Hei Mo coming back to Vearth was also hot news.

But for Ye Mo who got injured thanks to that System Yang who caught him off guard and was now resting in another abandoned star he had taken over as his territory. After reaching the Immortal God stage, the number of enemies that could contend with him had lessened greatly. This is a peak cultivation stage that is only second to the strength of the sovereign rulers like Mo Baojun and Shen Siwang.

He was resting in his room with a pale face. He looks good outside without any hints of injuries yet internally, his injuries are quite bad. At the last moment when he had thought he had killed Hei Mo, that annoying Humanoid System, Zhi Yang, not only forcefully teleported him, he had also directly attacked his soul.

Ye Mo spoke, “That bastard son of mine must be the one who ordered that System. I only tried killing his wife once and he almost went insane. Tsk!”

“Moreover, that old man Hei is alive!? Tsk! That runt from the Mo family must have done something. Only his bloodline possesses a cheat like Immortality. They are truly hard to kill.”

He was reclining on some single couch as he closed his eyes to rest. The room is dark and only a simple side lamp lit a small area of the room. There is a huge bed not far from the couch and some shelves filled with weapons and books. This room is clearly Ye Mo’s bedroom.

In front of him is a wall aquarium, no it is more like an incubator. There’s a huge black egg with a galaxy pattern on its eggshell. Within the glass walls with carved isolation arrays, the egg was placed at the center emitting aggressive energy that could even eat the space.

.....

Ye Mo was staring at the egg with an evil grin on his lips. He looks ecstatic that the huge is now on the verge of hatching.

“Not enough. Just a bit more and it would finally hatch. The most notorious and cruel race in all realms, World Eater~ with this thing I should be able to destroy Vearth. Hehehe~” murmured Ye Mo.

Back to the Nether System...

Hei Jue and An Liang temporarily left the administration of the Netherworld to Hei Mo the elder of their family. They need to spend more time with their daughter, An Juehua. She who finally returned home is now being spoiled by Hei Jue and An Liang to the heavens.

Hei Mo with the help of Warden Lou and Yun Ming took control of work within the Nether System. They tried their hardest to trace where Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie might have fallen but failed. It seems that with just Hei Mo alone, it would be hard to search the numerous universes under their Systems’ jurisdictions.

Warden Lou was panting while covered in sweat. All three of them had been using their qi to the fullest to gather as many space essences for Hei Mo to use and look for the possible traces that would lead them to where the two had fallen. But sadly, they found nothing at all.

Warden Lou spoke, “This is hard. I might be able to control the Space element but my compatibility with it is only average.”

“That is already good. That Ye Brat had zero compatibility with Space Element. During the sudden transfer, he must have suffered some side effects. That’s what I am worried about.” said Hei Mo recalling the last scene where his youngest grandson and his grandson-in-law were pushed in by him to prevent Ye Mo from harming them. “I know I should have placed a barrier on them that time. Sigh~”

Yun Ming commented, “Even if Lord God Ye suffered a bit of aftereffect he should be fine. His soul is strong so there wouldn’t be any problem. I am more worried about Lord Hei. His soul is as fragile as it is, I hope they didn’t fall in a high-ranked world or it would be impossible for Lord Hei to wake up completely on that world.”

With a deep frown on his face, Hei Mo said, “His soul is indeed weakened but... that’s merely his soul fragment what are you guys so worried about?” he asked.

Warden Lou answered, “Because that is the main Soul fragment of Lord Hei’s soul with his full memories intact. His other soul fragments had no other memories. Plus, I heard... that the emotions and feelings of a Mo depend on their memories. Without it, the other soul fragments of Lord Hei are... a God of Destruction filled with the only instinct for extermination, blood, and death. A God who only knows how to kill.”

Silence~

The throne room was suddenly bestowed with overwhelming quietness. No one spoke and even the sound of breathing could not be heard. They were frightened by the possible future where a terrifying existence like the Mo Bloodline would become an emotionless doll whose sole purpose is destruction.

The silence was broken by Hei Mo. He suddenly looked in a certain direction for a few moments with a serious gaze before once again averting his eyes back to the papers in his hands. Warden Lou and Yun Ming noticed the split-second action of the elder god before them.

When Hei Mo spoke out as if talking to someone else aside from them.

“Come out if you have arrived. No need to hesitate as this old man is real and alive,” said Hei Mo.

Once his words were spoken, the space in the direction Hei Mo was looking just now had distorted and swirled. A space portal appeared resembling the shape of a door. The sound of a door opening was heard and a person pushed open the space door. Once the people beyond the space door had been revealed, Warden Lou and Yun Ming stood up and saluted with their heads slightly bowed down.

Warden Lou and Yun Ming spoke, “Greetings to the God of Punishment, Venerable Lord Hei Sian, and God of Judgment, Esteemed Lord Mo Yue.” they greeted upon the arrival of the two lordships.

Mo Yue was in his human forms like Hei Anjing his hair color and eye color in this form is black hair and blue eyes. It is just that the shade of his eye color is lighter than the deep blue that Hei Anjing possessed. His features were a bit gentler than Hei Anjing but he is undeniably a beauty himself with more elegance than seductive which Hei Anjing possessed. There is no expression on his face but just his calm and soft gaze alone shows his gentle nature. It is just that the aura he is emitting is a bit cold as this was the nature of his bloodline.

The human form of Hei Sian is not much different from his god form. His long black was tied low behind his back. His eyes were sharp and fierce. His posture was usually condescending yet at this moment showed unequivocal respect. Yet the corner of his lips was a bit upturned leaving a playful streak on his face. Yes, like Hei Anjing who loves to smile mischievously to lure his opponents. It seems he got his playful attitude from his father.

Hei Sian’s eyes are dull gray, like granite with a bit of silver. As a direct bloodline of the Hei Clan, his eye color itself is proof of his identity. At this moment, these pairs of eyes with the same shade of silver orbs are now looking at Hei Mo with unexplainable discomfort and mirth.

It’s been a while since this father and son had met ever since they had broken off all relationships a few millennia ago.

In the end, it was Hei Sian who broke the tension between them and greeted his father awkwardly. Mo Yue also followed after his husband.

“Hei Sian greets father.”

“Mo Yue greets father-in-law.”

It took a while as the two waited for the elder to accept their greetings. Just when Hei Sian thought his father wouldn’t accept their greetings.

Hei Mo spoke, “Um. I heard you two. Take a seat since you’ve already arrived. Lou Wuye and Yun Ming can leave for a bit and take a short break.”

Warden Lou and Yun Ming immediately bid their farewell.

“Understood, Senior.”

Once the two left the throne room, Hei Sian was pulled over but his wife to sit at the opposite side where Hei Mo sat. At this moment, there’s a gentle smile on Mo Yue’s face. This person before them is not only an ordinary elder but his husband’s biological father.

Silence~

Mo Yue sat down and served tea for himself and the two. Hei Mo and Hei Sian were silent the whole time. But they were peeking at each other as if waiting for the other to speak first. Both were stubborn by nature and neither of the two was willing to speak first. A deafening silence spreads in the room.

In the end, Mo Yue had to start the conversation as the father and son were both stubborn to lower their feelings of pride.

Mo Yue spoke, “Father-in-law, Welcome back.”

Hei Mo’s hands, which were holding the paper, slightly trembled. He could feel the kindness and honest feelings of Mo Yue towards him. This child didn’t hate him for his bad attitude from before. Even if he is prideful toward this annoying son of his, he only felt guilt towards his daughter-in-law. He put down the works he was looking through and looked at Mo Yue. He reached out his hands without a word but Mo Yue understood what this elder wanted to do. He placed his hands above the wrinkled hands of Hei Mo. His smile is as gentle as always.

Seeing the unconditional trust of Mo Yue towards him, he recalled his promise to his youngest grandson.

Hei Mo with a trembling voice said, “I... I... I’m sorry... for everything I did in the past, I apologize. I was too greedy before. I wanted so much power but in the end, I just lose my eldest son and hurt my youngest son. Now even my grandchildren had been harmed by my foolishness. Everything is this old man’s fault.”

The couple was caught off guard by this apology. Mo Yue and Hei Sian didn’t expect this stubborn old man to apologize in tears like this. This is the person that obstinately didn’t accept him as Hei Sian’s other half all this time. As well as one of the Gods that contends with his family for fame and power but failed badly in the end. Mo Yue actually didn’t care about this person at all. The moment he cut off his relationship with his husband he had longed to treat him as a stranger. But this time he changed his mind because when they met this time he felt the blessing only their bloodline could give to Hei Mo. Upon checking it, it was the qi of his beloved son. Everyone in the Mo family would hardly get attached to someone unless they accepted them wholeheartedly.

For Hei Anjing to accept this old man might have been greatly influenced by his father, Hei Sian. Hei Sian despite telling the world that he had detached himself from the Hei Clan, as his wife there is no way he wouldn’t notice, that his husband yearns to restore his relationship with his family. He felt great regret when Hei Siyan (Hei Sian’s elder brother) died. Mo Yue knew that his husband, even if he didn’t openly say it, knew that he had strongly blamed himself for his brother’s death.

Hei Siyan had been sickly since birth which is why Hei Mo trained and treated his youngest as the next heir of the Hei Clan. But Hei Sian met him and they fell in love. At first, Hei Mo accepted their relationship on the surface but when the Hei Clan asked for too much favor that would sometimes go overboard, the Mo Family no longer tolerated them. It was because of this that Hei Mo started to openly oppose his marriage with Hei Sian. In the end, Hei Mo went overboard and Hei Sian no longer tolerated his father and chose to break all relations with the Hei Clan. Because Hei Sian left the Hei Clan, Hei Mo and the elders chose Hei Siyan as the next heir. But because of his illness, there is a lot of opposition from the branch families.

Things lead to a revolt in which Hei Mo left Vearth when he failed to capture his youngest grandson, Hei Anjing and Hei Siyan died through poison. Hei Clan almost fell completely and to prevent it his husband, Hei Sian, and his son, Hei Jue, took a stand and sided with the last descendant of his eldest brother, Hei Jue, making him the new patriarch of the Hei Clan. They haven’t heard any news about Hei Mo after he disappeared before but then he suddenly returned to Vearth and apologized in tears to them rendering them speechless.
