879 14.155 Last Violet Star – The Barrier Breaks
The younger disciples Jin Yanli, Yun Fan, Yun Xing, and Yun Anjie were now having fun with the twins. Yun Fan and Yun Xing rushed around running after the little princess Hei Anxia, who was floating around and letting them pursue her. She occasionally threw some little snowballs in their direction. Yun Fan had suffered several facial strikes but was completely unharmed. The snow was cold and wonderfully soft, so it was obvious that the little princess was playing with them.
Yun Jingmo would snuggle up on Yun Anjie’s knee and listen quietly as Jin Yanli read stories to him. His eyes would light up as he listened to the stories. This little prince would obviously lock himself in the library if he were able to read independently. His parents also sealed the house’s library for this reason. A calm picture suddenly appeared before the eyes of Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye as they were just returning from bringing in snacks and nourishment for the babies. They were relieved to observe the twins’ and their offspring’s harmonious relationship.
“If Xiao Jing were around, he would undoubtedly be envious of these young disciples since he didn’t realize that he had already become a big brother,” Hei Anjing said to her husband.
“If Brother Siwang hadn’t stopped those two from coming over here, they would have undoubtedly done so. He should know by now, Ye Xiajie already knew about the children right from the beginning,” Xia Jieye stated.
“They are forced to wait for us to return,” Hei Anjing stated with a helpless smile.
Xia Jieye kissed his baby’s forehead and whispered, “Don’t worry. We should be reuniting with them soon enough.” Ever since he met Hei Anjing as a baby. Xia Jieye would virtually always kiss his Jing’er’s forehead as a habit. This is how Xia Jieye expresses his love for his spouse.
Hei Wan and Bai Hua emerged at the hilltop with Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin as they were delighted to spend their time in this place. The twins were staring at the newly arrived visitors while the young disciples saluted them. Because Hei Wan reminded him of their Daddy, Hei Anjing, Baby Anxia was unafraid and soared in his direction.
Yun Anjie and Jin Yanli saluted, “Anjie (Yanli) greets Esteemed Uncles!”
Yun Fan says, “A’Fan greets Sect Master Yun, Sect Master Bai, Big Brother King Wan, and Big Brother Lord Consort!”
.....
Yun Xing, “This young disciple greets Sect Master Yun, Sect Master Bai, and the Venerable Guests!”
The small baby fluttered in their way and the four nodded at them as they accepted the pleasantries of the young disciples. It was the twins’ little princess who floated towards the visitors as if welcoming them happily to her house.
Hei Anxia calls, “Ju Ju! Ju ma!”
The little princess, Hei Anjing, wanted to call Hei Wan ‘Jiù Jiu’ which meant mother’s older brother or uncle. While called Bai Hua ‘Jiu M?’ which means mother’s brother’s wife. But she is too young to say the word completely. As expected, as soon as Hei Wan and the rest saw the little princess flying in their direction, they couldn’t help but grin at her cuteness. On the other hand, the second prince quietly watches from Yun Anjie’s arms. But he is staring at Yun Huaxia when Yun Anjie and Jin Yanli know that he wanted to greet his uncles as well.
Baby Jingmo clearly requested to be held as he extended his little arms to Yun Huaxia who was standing not far from them. Yun Huaxia delicately received the soft baby in his arms from Yun Anjie while laughing softly. Bai Qiyin didn’t dare make much noise for fear that the baby would dislike him as he silently regarded him as his little nephew. When Baby Jingmo noticed him staring, he reached out and touched his Uncle Qiqi’s nose. Clearly, the little prince adores his young uncles as much as the former does.
Ye Jingmo calls, “Bhu fu~ Bhu mu~”
He meant to call ‘Bò fú’, which meant father’s elder brother, his uncle. This is what he calls Yun Huaxia and calls Bai Qiyin ‘Bó mu’ which means father’s brother’s wife.
Seeing this Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye also came to welcome the arrival of the four guests.
Hei Anjing said, “It’s rare that you guys came together~”
“Well, I and your Hua-gege came to say goodbye. We shall return to the Heavenly Domain today. After all, the preparation for your Dao Ceremony is almost complete. We have finished what we came for,” said Hei Wan.
Bai Hua added, “Moreover if we don’t come back, the Imperial Mother and Imperial Father wouldn’t be able to visit you. Especially the Imperial Mother, she had been nagging asking when we would ascend.”
“Well~ I think she might be wanting to see her grandchildren,” said Hei Wan as he stared at the twins.
Suddenly, he remembered something else and looked at Xia Jieye. King Wan says, “Xia Jieye, I will pass the decree of the Immortal Emperor to you.”
Xia Jieye nodded his head and didn’t say a word or anything.
“God of Judgment, Ye Xiajie. Your punishment of staying in the Mortal Realm for a thousand years is revoked. You are accepted by the Royal Family as the Second King’s chosen other half approved by the Hei Regal Family and Xue Noble Clan. You may return to the Upper Realm anytime you want. Accept this decree from the Immortal Emperor of Heavenly Domain.”
“This direct disciple accepts the Master’s decree,” said Xia Jieye.
Hei Wan smiled and pat Xia Jieye then looked at his younger brother, “So, do you guys want to come back with us for a while?”
“No. Not this time, Dage. There are still Devil’s Vessels lingering in the Mortal Realm. Though I and A’Xia had already killed the Devils of Greed, Lust, and Envy. There is still Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, and Pride,” said Hei Anjing.
Xia Jieye spoke, “Especially the Devil of Pride... He is the same as me. He is the real blood of the King of Devils to another Demoness. He is a pureblood Devil unlike me. He hates the mortal realm because of me and mother. If something happens to the barrier he would definitely come over to exterminate the human race.”
Hei Wan and Bai Hua squinted their eyes at the mere thought of the Devil that Rules Pride. They’ve battled this Devil of Pride many times as the ones who stood in for the God of Punishment and the God of Judgment during the War of Heaven and Hell. He is a powerful devil, in fact. He is practically as powerful as the present King of Devils at his peak if you compare the two.
“That man is a tough person to break. He hates everything in this world and wants to destroy the world itself. He wanted human extinction most of all. I think he must have disliked you as much as you mentioned,” Hei Wan remarked.
“He just does not appreciate my presence at all,” claimed Xia Jieye.
All of the Heavenly Beings felt a sudden, great change. In addition to witnessing the sky above them collapse, they also sense an abrupt explosion of malice and deadly aura emanating from the area where the Infernal Region was located. The invisible shield around the mortal realm was shattered, not the sky, which didn’t actually break.
The sky above them was suddenly fractured and began to break as Hei Wan, Bai Hua, Hei Anjing, Xia Jieye, and Bai Qiyin watched. The miasma of the Demon Realm began to creep toward the human realm at that instant, slowly corroding the plains while the blue sky above them slowly became crimson. Hei Wan spoke with a grim look on his handsome face.
“Who did it!?” clamored King Wan as the barrier enclosing the Mortal Realm was shattered.
“This is not good. There are demons from all sides. It appears the Devil Race had been planning this for a very long time. Just who damaged the barrier?” Bai Hua said after noticing the changes.
“It can only be Jin Baihua since he is a devil’s vessel and a traitor to the human race,” according to Bai Qiyin.
Now that the demons and devils are fighting the humans in the mortal realm, Yun Huaxia is increasingly concerned about what will happen to them. Additionally, he found it difficult to comprehend how Jin Baihua, a former close friend, could have committed such a repulsive act. He exudes disappointment and melancholy.
Yun Huaxia questioned, “What should we do now? A lot of people will perish.”
“We can’t do anything for the time being. Unless brother is prepared to sacrifice our sect’s disciples to save a few,” Xia Jieye stated.
When Yun Huaxia heard his younger brother say these things, he initially felt him to be a little heartless, but when he had to consider things logically, he realized that what Xia Jieye had said was the truth. Even if he sacrifices his life for them, he cannot save them. Then he can only look at his younger brother and brother-in-law who might be capable of doing so.
“How about you two, are you willing to defend this realm?” Yun Huaxia questioned.
Xia Jieye gazed at his wife instead of responding. Clearly demonstrating that his choice would depend on his wife’s preferences. Hei Anjing smiled as everyone turned to face him. Yun Huaxia thought that his brother-in-law was willing to save the human race only to be shocked by what he said next.
“I don’t want to,” Hei Anjing remarked, “I’ve never been one to fight for the greater good or a sacrificial hero who aspires to rescue the world. Why should I save strangers that I don’t care about?”
Despite being harsh, these remarks were true. Hei Anjing had been this way all along. He didn’t give a damn about what happened to the others and saw their life and death as nothing more than the appearance of a dead insect in a dark place. Those strangers don’t exist as important people in Hei Anjing’s world. He wouldn’t give a damn if they died or were wiped out. Hei Anjing regards everyone else as nothing except his family, friends, and loved ones, which is another reason why he couldn’t succeed as the next Immortal King. Hei Anjing’s gorgeous face was sporting a soft smile made Yun Huaxia and the others couldn’t help but shudder. They had just discovered how frightening Hei Anjing can be.
Then he heard him continue talking, “But~... At the very least I can keep the Lan Zhuayun Sect and Bai Lengshui Sect under my protection. Regardless of what you do in this situation, I will keep you safe. This is the sole position I’m willing to accept.” Hei Anjing said.
The underlying meaning of Hei Anjing was recognized by Yun Huaxia and others. In other words, they are free to do anything they like, and Hei Anjing is ready to both protect them and not intervene in any way. They are free to go out and rescue people as they like and assist those in need as they please. Yun Huaxia and the others couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this. Hei Anjing was willing to let them aid and defend them despite their decisions, regardless of how often he denied the existence of others, for the benefit of those he cared about, he is willing to comply.
Yun Huaxia said, “I see. Thank you. A’Wuan, thank you.”
“Brother, we will be careful. I promise!” said Bai Qiyin.
Hei Anjing nodded his head and said, “Merge the Lan Zhuayun and Bai Lengshui Sect in the East. I will create a huge formation to protect this part of the land. While you are at it bring the people who want to protect. But be warned I can only protect you while you are in this part of the land. If you are going out, bring these defensive artifacts with you. I might be a God but in this world, I am not omnipotent.”
“I understand,” said Yun Huaxia.
But only Xia Jieye was dissatisfied with the group. Unlike Hei Anjing, in his eyes, there isn’t anything more important than his Jing’er, the rest doesn’t matter at all. Even so, he didn’t stop his wife’s decision though his mood had completely turned dark in annoyance.
Hei Wan saw Xia Jieye’s fury in silence. However, he stayed quiet and made no mention of his changes. Not even to the younger sibling he has.
Xia Jieye whispered, “It would have been better if you guys didn’t exist.”
These are the God of the Void’s actual thoughts. As the Sovereign God of Vearth, not as the Second Young Master of the Lan Zhuayun Sect’s Yun Xiajie or as the God of Judgment of the Heavenly Domain.
