Chapter 897 - 897 14.173 Last Violet Star - Humans and Devils

897 14.173 Last Violet Star – Humans and Devils

Everyone in the city felt the abrupt compulsion of coldness and rage. They all couldn’t help but turn their heads in the direction of the Crimson Cloud Peak. Mortals and cultivators both had an innate terror of that icy atmosphere.

When Hei Anjing’s frightening aura began to spread that way over the entire city, Old Sect Master Yun was enjoying afternoon tea with his younger brother, and the Bai Couple when they felt the changes in their surroundings. Once they saw it was coming from the direction where Hei Anjing lives he instantly knew who was causing such commotion.

“Was that A’Wuan ba?”

“A’Wuan rarely gets angry. Why would he suddenly spread such a frightening aura?”

“I think something bad happened.”

“Should we go and ask?”

“No need. Anjie and the other disciples of the Crimson Cloud Peak would be joining us for dinner tonight. Let’s ask by then.”

“Agreed.”

.....

Back to the Crimson Cloud Peak...

Hei Anjing had just taken away his suffocating aura and was trying to calm down himself. The twins flew towards him and started comforting him.

“Dada... Da~da~”

“Did my babies get frightened? Daddy is wrong. Won’t do it again. Go ahead and continue playing.” Hei Anjing said while cuddling at his babies with a doting smile.

When the twin turned around and went, so did his grin. Demon Qingyu and Devil Baoshi, who are kneeling before him, catch his attention. They were slightly trembling after being directly hit by Hei Anjing cold aura. His freezing aura wasn’t as simple as what the Xue Clan’s Yin Physique possessed. His was a physique born even in his original world. He represents Winter and Snow in all its forms.

He is more compatible with ice elements than his uncle Mo Baojun.

Hei Anjing spoke, “White and Black Impermanence... You go handle what I’ve told you to do. After you captured Jin Baihua threw him to purgatory. Baoshi and Qingyu’s sentence would be halves as for the rest handle it.”

“Yes, My lord.”

“... Bring me Lu Yi’s soul. I want to speak with him.” Hei Anjing orders.

The Black and White Impermanence bow their heads and accept his commands.

“Please allow us to make some preparations to call him over.”

“Approved.”

Hei Anjing glanced at Devil Baoshi and Devil Qingyu and gestured to them to leave.

“You shall be summoned by Hei and Bai when it’s time. Go and continue what you want to do. Be warned that you cannot harm any mortals in this city with your death qi. Once you did so, everything we talked about just now would be nothing. Leave!” Hei Anjing said.

No one dares to linger more in the presence of Hei Anjing seeing how he lost his temper just now. It was scary enough to feel his rage in the distance but for those who were directly hit by it almost choked to death while freezing like a mortal in an ice mountain.

On the other hand the White and Black Impermanence returned to the Underworld and prepared for Lu Yi’s soul to be able to exist in the world of living.

After all four of them disappeared from Hei Anjing’s sight. A serene yet melancholy atmosphere fell in the area. He sought his husband’s hug and went to hug Xia Jieye as he wished. Chun Hongyun-Jun didn’t question his wife’s action and hugged him as he wanted.

Hei Anjing asked, “My love, would you hate me if I learned to have emotions as humans have?”

“No... I would never hate you for that.” Xia Jieye answered without hesitation.

Yet Hei Anjing mumbled a single word of contradiction as if retorting to his lover’s words, “Liar.” He closed his eyes not wanting to listen to whatever his lover wanted to ask. Seeing his wife reacting like this Xia Jieye could only shut his mouth and tightly hugged his insecure other half.

Xia Jieye’s thoughts, ‘Why call me a liar? When my love for you is real...’

On the other hand, Devil Baoshi hurriedly ran down the mountain followed by Devil Qingyu. They took the form of humans to mingle in the town. Devil Qingyu’s appearance took a lot of attention so Cao Roulan forced him to wear a mask on his face before bringing him with her to the new house of the Cao Family.

They were walking at the market buying a few things. Devil Baoshi returned the body’s control to Cao Roulan and let her talk with Devil Qingyu as she wished. She wanted to know why this devil didn’t perish like how the other two devils did.

Cao Roulan asked, “Is that boy in your arms your vessel? What happened to him?”

“After we died, Lord Hei had sentenced us to imprisonment in Purgatory for 3 years. The atmosphere and surroundings in that place was too cruel for a human soul to exist. There is never-ending torture and everlasting pain. His soul had been weak right from the beginning and almost didn’t survive. We were lucky that the Lord had still been used for us and I was lucky enough to retain a bit of his soul. But he could only exist in this form unless he entered reincarnation.” Devil Qingyu explained.

Terrified, Cao Roulan asks, “Is Purgatory really that scary and dangerous?”

“Of course. It is a special realm under the control of the God of Punishment. Inside of it whether you are human, a devil, a god, or a ghost, all are equal. You are all just sinners in that place. Moreover, it is impossible to escape from there. As the door of Purgatory only opens for the sinners who finished their sentence or the door itself was open with the permission of the God of Punishment.”

“I also heard of the rumors that Lord Hei himself had stayed in there for a whole millennium suffering like a sinner without any hint of special authority. Just as a sinner like all others. Amazing right? I already feel like dying just by staying in there for a few years and could barely hold on for a century but he stayed in there for 1000 years.” Devil Qingyu storied.

Cao Roulan asked, “Why did he end up being punished there as well?”

“I’ve learned that he broke a law of the heavens and changed the fate of more than a hundred mortals all at the same time. You should know that laws for Gods are even stricter than what mortals have. I guess it happened when he lived in this world as Bai Wuan. After returning to the Upper Realm he immediately resurrected the mortals who died and had relationships with him at that time. That’s why he was punished.”

“Isn’t he a God how can he have an attachment to mortals?” asked Cao Roulan in confusion.

Devil Qingyu says, “Indeed who told us that Gods are omnipotent and had no attachment. If they didn’t have feelings, would they even have a family or would they be called Dao Companion? In the end, the only difference between mortals, devils, and gods is our lifespans.”

“Is it true? Is it true that you had fallen in love with your vessel? But I thought the devil race hates mortals?” asked Cao Roulan.

Devil Qingyu said, “You are wrong about that. The reason why devils hate mortals is because humans dislike the difference in appearance between the two. Because only high-ranked devils possessed a human-like form and beauty beyond mortals. Likewise, humans revered the Gods and goddesses because of their holiness and unparalleled beauty.”

“I don’t hate mortals for one. Humans are short-lived yet creative. They create things made of something. I especially like the clothing and accessories your race made. Baoshi loves the food you humans cook. There are lots of demons who don’t have human forms that are fond of the things humans make but... Maybe because of the history of humans. They loathe our race more so than we do.”

“There is a secret you must know. The reason the devil race hates your human race was because of the Demon Queen. The Queen used to be the sole ruler of the Infernal Region even before the King of Devils existed. She used to not care much about humans and the barrier didn’t exist at that time. Everything had changed when the King of Devils suddenly appeared one day.”

“No one knew where he came from. Others say he is from the Upper Realm a God who became a fallen and ended up becoming a Devil. No one was sure of his origins but the Demon queen fell in love with him. So obsessed and possessive. Demons who fell in love were like humans who were obsessed with one they like. Willingly giving up everything. The queen did so and even betrayed the King after learning that the latter had fallen in love with the Goddess of Love.”

“In her extreme jealousy, the demon queen reported about the forbidden love between the King of Devils and the Goddess of Love. The Immortals wouldn’t accept such a union no matter what. Well, that is unless you are as powerful as the God of Punishment who was feared by both Devils and Gods. In the end, she was punished and became a mortal while the king was imprisoned in the Infernal Region for eternity. That barrier those human cultivators had created was because of the help of the Immortals. They wanted to prevent the king of Devils from entering the mortal realm and finding his wife.”

Cao Roulan said, “So it’s true that Chun Hongyun-Jun is the son of the King of Devils and yet he is also the beloved of the God of Punishment. Is the reason they are staying in the Mortal Realm that the Upper Realm doesn’t accept them.”

“Actually, when I just left the Purgatory I heard a lot of rumors in the Upper Realm. It was said the God of Punishment had liked the God of Judgment even when they were only children. So even though the God of Judgment possessed the blood of the Devils, the Immortal Emperor had accepted him as his disciple. This is to ensure that the child wouldn’t grow up like the devil his father is. All of this was because Lord Hei liked Lord Ye.”

“This is supposed to be a hidden secret of the Regal Family of the Heavenly Domain. Everyone can only accept it when Lord Hei becomes the God of Punishment whose strength was only second to his father and vowed to never sit on the throne in exchange for accepting Lord Ye. Lord Ye himself became the God of Judgment so he could also stand beside Lord Hei. In the Heavenly Domain, his priority had always been Lord Hei instead of his master the Immortal Emperor.”

“Aren’t they a lovely couple? Regardless of their origins even if one is a devil and the other is a god... Since they had chosen one another, other people’s reaction or intention didn’t mean anything to them. At least... I also wanted to find my true love as they do. A love unhindered by race or standing.” Devil Qingyu said.

Cao Roulan remained silent as she listened to Devil Qingyu’s stories. As a mortal, it was almost impossible for her to learn something about the Upper Realm. She is not even a cultivator in some great sect, just a young lady from a merchant family. But thanks to Devil Baoshi she learns there are more things that she did not know. About the devils and gods, humans and demons.

“It would have been better if humans, devils and immortals got along. Then there would be a war like this which wished to eradicate a whole race due to some reason done in the far and forgotten past.” Cao Roulan murmured.

Devil Qingyu smiled, “It would be good if all humans are understanding like you. One that does not judge because of one’s race or appearance.”

“Well~ That might be impossible. Humans are judgemental by nature. Hahaha~” Cao Roulan said as if she was joking around.

Devil Qingyu laughed with her and said, “Devils are the same~”.
