950 15.12 Vearth – Nether System: Escapees from the Lower Hell.
In the World of Origin, somewhere. Qiyuan and Jiewei made the first world a playground for their son, Hunluan. But, once the property’s owner passed away, it became a world without an owner. Simply a world that has been abandoned and periodically gives birth to beings.
The Planet of Origin has already been abandoned. Even if certain Gods and Goddesses are still present, the majority of them belong to the generation of the God of Void and the God of Light. Jiewei can easily identify someone’s leftover aura because he is one of the most ancient beings to have ever lived. He arrived at the birthplace of the imperfect god Snow.
Nobody anticipated that he would be born in a secret spatial fissure in the World of Origin. Jiewei, the God of End, decided to follow his remaining traces since the place was too unique for anybody to discover them.
The God of End, Jiewei, stood outside the hidden spatial rift and was thinking about whether to enter it or not.
“This spatial rift. T wast so enshielf yond if ‘t be true I didn’t behold prop’rly I wouldst eke did miss it,” mumbled the God of End, Jiewei.
Translation: [This Spatial Rift... It was so hidden that if I didn’t look properly I would also miss it.]
After entering the fissure, he opened his eyes to a scene that seemed eerily familiar to him. It was a cosmic castle in ruins. He, Qiyuan, and Hunluan initially shared a residence as a family. But once the Chaos God passed away, he devastated this realm. He had just lost their only son, and he was suffering greatly at the moment.
Jiewei was shocked and in amazement when he first saw this location. As he noticed Snow’s aura, he followed it to the area where it was greatest. When he traced the remnants of the aura, his heart was racing so quickly that he was unable to believe what he was seeing. The final tendrils of Snow’s aura had ceased in a small temple-like chamber buried beneath the ruins of a castle.
He was taken to a modest shrine where he and his wife, Qiyuan, had interred their child’s corpse. Only a little portion of their son’s body was left after he self-destructed to save their lives, and while they were able to regenerate it, Hunluan’s soul was entirely destroyed, making it impossible for him to be born again.
.....
Yet, Hei Anjing is currently here because of his original soul traces. It indicates that here is where he was born and where he awoke. Jiewei was overcome with an unexplainable emotion when he saw this little temple. He wanted to force open the doors with his hands quivering, but when he did, he discovered signs that it had recently been regaled.
The God of End mumbled, “Wast Qiyuan just h’re? Didst that gent visit’d this lodging bef’re that gent hath returned to Vearth?”
Translation: [Was Qiyuan just here? Did he visit this place before he returned to Vearth?]
The sight of an empty altar welcomed him as he gently pulled the jade door wide. Jiewei, the God of End was astounded. He was astounded to see that his son Hunluan’s body had vanished out of thin air. Then he considered a scenario that he himself found difficult to accept.
They said that when Snow woke up, he was unaware of his creation or birth. He said again that he awoke in a frigid region with no one around and that he had followed the nearest aura of life. The World of Origin greeted him when he arrived there.
He was unable to recall anything. He discovered himself on the Origin Planet like an inquisitive baby hunting for a companion. For lesser Gods and Goddesses, however, his aura is too oppressive, and only a powerful being like the God of Void was able to remain at his side without feeling the effects of his tyrannical aura. The other Gods and Goddesses can’t help but approach him despite this type of atmosphere. He was admired for this reason even by others of the same race.
Jiewei collapsed while sitting in front of the bare altar. It was never intended for this altar to be empty. After all, only he and Qiyuan have the ability to open this temple from the outside, and from the inside, only Hunluan can. He stays away from this location with his wife since they can’t stand to see their child’s lifeless corpse. But, seeing an altar like this vacant today could only mean one thing... The God of Chaos, Hunluan, is still alive.
The God of End mumbles, “Nay wond’r, Qiyuan didn’t stand home from leaving even but now. That gent kneweth I wouldst cometh to the w’rld of ‘rigin to checketh on snoweth’s origins. Yond those remnant aura trails wouldst leadeth me h’re in the endeth and seeth this exsufflicate altar. That gent did stay because that gent did want to checketh Hei Anjing’s vessel. If ‘t be true th’re is a moon birthmark on the backeth of Hei Anjing’s shouldst’r then yond means that gent is...”
Translation: [No wonder, Qiyuan didn’t stop me from leaving just now. He knew I would come to the World of Origin to check on Snow’s Origins. That those remnant aura trails would lead me here in the end and see this empty altar. He stayed because he wanted to check Hei Anjing’s vessel. If there is a moon birthmark on the back of Hei Anjing’s right shoulder then that means he is...]
“This is insane! art thee telling me I’ve caused harmeth to mine own owneth son!?”
Translation: [This is insane! Are you telling me I’ve caused harm to my own son!?]
At this moment, the God of End fell into depression. He held his head in remorse and couldn’t accept anything he just discovered.

Vearth, Netherworld
Nether System, Throne Hall
The God of Origin sat down in front of Ye Xiajie as he wished, he didn’t approach them and stayed at a certain distance.
“Beest halcyon, issue. I has’t nay intention of harming thee ‘r the one in thy embrace. I only did want to checketh on thy partn’r’s situation. Bef’re I alloweth thee to beginneth the final phase of thy resurrection trial.”
Translation: [Be calm, Child. I have no intention of harming you or the one in your embrace. I only wanted to check on your partner’s situation. Before I allow you to begin the Final Phase of your Resurrection Trial.]
Ye Xiajie didn’t think he was serious. Indeed, the only people in whom he had any faith were his wife and his brother, Shen Siwang. Because he had always been like the way, the other creatures in Vearth regarded him as an Evil God. He remained wary as he embraced his wife, clearly unwilling to allow anybody else to touch him, especially after losing him once before.
The God of Origin was struck by astonishment. He didn’t anticipate that his other half’s creation would watch out for him in this way. He can, however, understand his response when he thinks back to all the dumb things Jiewei had done to the kid.
Soon after his birth, he was detained in the Abyss. His memories of his most significant person were erased when he left the Abyss, which led to his breaching his commitment to him. He also perished at the hands of the man he regards as his father, and in the end he discovered that Ye Mo was actually his uncle rather than his father.
The majority of the issues that arose were brought on by Jiewei, the God of End, trying to coerce this couple into becoming his apostles. Furthermore, given that Jiewei attempted to harm Hei Anjing in Ye Xiajie’s presence just a short while ago, it was not unexpected that he would be regarded in the same manner as the God of End.
But the God of Origin, Qiyuan, wanted to check on something. His child, Hunluan’s birthmark. A crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of his right shoulder.
“I und’rstand. This l’rd wouldn’t toucheth that gent ‘r thee. But th’re is something I did want thee to checketh p’rsonally. Is th’re a crescent shao’d birthmark at the backeth of thy jointress’s right shouldst’r?” asked Qiyuan.
Translation: [I understand. This Lord wouldn’t touch him or you. But there is something I wanted you to check personally. Is there a crescent shaped birthmark at the back of your wife’s right shoulder?]
The request made by the God of Origin suddenly left everyone perplexed. His suggestion that they inspect Hei Anjing’s physique to see if he had a specific birthmark in the shape of a crescent on his shoulder confused them. Ye Xiajie was in shock and had no idea what to do. On the other hand, Shen Siwang and Mo Baijun believed that there was other information we should be aware of.
Shen Siwang said, “Xia, it is a rude yet simple request. Please check if there is indeed a birthmark on Xiao Jing’er. You still have a Final Phase of the Resurrection Trial to fulfill. Lord Origin’s aid would be needed to fulfill it. He doesn’t even need to see it himself. Just do as you wish...”
During a brief period of hesitation, Ye Xiajie turned around and blocked everyone’s view of his wife. He checks the back of Hei Anjing’s right shoulder while delicately removing the right side of his robe. Even though he had seen virtually the whole body of his wife, it wasn’t actually his body. He gave his wife’s birthmark in the shape of a crescent moon some thought before pulling his robes back over his body.
He turned around and told everyone, “There is a crescent moon birthmark as you ask for. Is there a special reason for this birthmark?” asked Ye Xiajie.
Everyone can notice the changes in the God of Origin’s emotions after hearing this response. He appeared to be happy when the clouds that were shielding his face began to shine as though a sun were concealed behind them. This demonstrates his happiness. He didn’t, however, respond to Ye Xiajie’s query vocally.
Ye Xiajie frowned and said with an annoyed tone in his voice, “Why don’t you give me an answer? What is that birthmark? Is it something harmful to Jing’er?”
The God of End, Jiewei, who had been missing for a while suddenly reappeared and heard these questions.
“Has’t thee seen a birthmark yond is harmful? T wouldn’t causeth that gent harmeth. As f’r wherefore we art asking about the birthmark is because. We art checking the real identity of thy jointress?” said Jiewei.
Translation: [Have you seen a birthmark that is harmful? It wouldn’t cause him harm. As for why we are asking about the birthmark is because... We are checking the real identity of your wife?]
Mo Baojun was also aware of the ambiguity surrounding their ancestor’s origin. They just learned of his nephew’s inability to recall his birth-related whereabouts, identity, or current state. The other Gods and Goddesses declared him to be an imperfect God since he was incapable of remembering even his own existence and name. Hence, Snow’s true identity remained a mystery.
“Is there a connection between the birthmark and his real identity?” asked Mo Baojun.
The God of End and God of Origin hesitated for a moment before answering. They clearly wanted to hide the truth but now that it was being asked by the people their child treats as family. It felt unfair if they left them uninformed about it.
The God of Origin gave up and was about to confess,
“Actually, Jing”r is...”
Translation: [Actually, Jing’er is...]
BOOOOM!!
A sudden explosion happened in the Nether Prison. There are lots of cases of escaped prisoners and that explosion just now is one of them.
An Liang and Hei Jue who were acting like bystanders were shocked by the loud explosion. They were even more surprised to learn where the explosion came from.
“That explosion came from the Lower Hell of the Nether Prison! Someone escaped from there!?” An Liang exclaimed.
“This is not good.”
Moreover, Hei Jue’s face doesn’t appear good. The lower hell was only reserved for the most wicked of prisoners. The unforgiven sinner was torched in the depths of the lowest hell for all eternity. As the Nether System is now thought to have merged with the Void, only Ye Xiajie and Hei Anjing, who governed the Abyss, are allowed to enter.
The entrance to the Abyss itself was hidden in the depths of the Lower Hell Prison. So, individuals who were detained there would burn unendingly while finally growing mad. The Nether Prison’s most horrifying location was there.
