Chapter 1682: 23.1 Vearth - Master?
The Sovereign God of Life and Death, Mo Baojun, and the Sovereign God of Light and Creation, Shen Siwang, were stunned by the existence of the once-considered myth. They never expected him to appear before their eyes, much less see him doting on the God of Destruction and the God of Void like they were his children.
Shen Siwang asked, "What is going on?"
His brother, the God of Void, was about to choke from the hug and reach out a hand slowly, asking for help. Thankfully, the Ancient God of Chaos let him go and commented,
"A child with a strong aura of light and a child with a balanced aura of living and deceased. Not bad."
Hearing Hunluan speak, Shen Siwang and Mo Baojun saluted the Ancient God of Chaos. These two had always been respectful towards the ancient gods. After all, it can be said that Shen Siwang was created by them, and Mo Baojun is respectful to the one who brought his other half back to life. Hunluan observed the two silently until he heard his child calling for them, too.
Hunluan said, "Be at ease."
"Uncle, Uncle Siwang! We're back!" The God of Destruction said.
The two looked delighted to see the young couple back. Especially seeing Hei Anjing completely healed and healthy made them delighted. Though they knew that he was back to normal, they had seen his state when he was at his weakest and even at his death. Because of that, he seems fragile in the eyes of his elders.
"Welcome home! Xiao Jing'er, are you sure that nothing is painful anymore? Is your soul complete again? Let's have your dad do a full check-up on you two," said Shen Siwang.
Mo Baojun, with his usual cold demeanor, said, "I tried to hide from them your situation, but in the end, they heard everything when they got back. Expect to get scolded." His words might be scary, but the hand ruffling Hei Anjing's hair was gentle. The God of Destruction pouted.
All of a sudden, Hunluan stood before Mo Baojun and observed him closely. He said, "You are born from chaos energy. How come you can't use it at all? Are you a child born from my remnant powers after our deaths? It's no wonder that my child was born in your family."
"My child?" echoed Mo Baojun with a rare shocked expression on his face.
Hunluan said, "Yes. In his first life, Jing'er was my and the World Eater's child. He was called An Heijing at that time."
"I see. Xiao Jing'er, does this mean that you are the one who created the Mo family and chose to be reincarnated in our family?" The Sovereign God of Life and Death asked.
The God of Destruction nodded his head and said, "However, since I was born in this family, there is no doubt that you guys are my family as well. So, please do not be afraid of them."
Hei Anjing was talking about the World Eater. Due to his bad history and reputation, the World Eater was also feared by the gods of the current era. But the God of Destruction believes that his family in this world will also trust him as they have always been.
As expected, the Sovereign God of Life and Death, Mo Baojun, said with a smile while pinching his nephew's cheeks.
"Alright. I believe you," said Mo Baojun.
After saying this, he officially greeted the Ancient God of Chaos as a senior in their clan. He once again greeted Hunluan.
"This junior, Mo Baojun, greets Senior Hunluan."
His husband followed after him: "This junior, Shen Siwang, greets the ancestor."
"Nice to meet you, Baojun and Siwang. You may call me Uncle Hunluan."
"Yes, Uncle Hunluan!"
Seeing this, Hunluan couldn't help but smile for a bit. Normally, they will be overly revered and treated as someone beyond one's reach. Even the ancient gods who had given birth to him saw him as someone whom they could only look up to and fear. He created An Shizhe, who eventually became his other half and family. When the prince was born, the couple was so happy as the number of people who could accept them increased. This is why when they lost their child, everything had been broken. Because those ancient gods had gone too far.
The reason he never stayed in Vearth was because he had seen the reverence in their eyes when he first appeared. He didn't want his life to return to how it should be and avoided them. That's why he was living in Ancient Star, which is considered an old, barren planet with no one else still remaining.
However, because of their child, they seem to have gained not only a family but a clan. This clan is connected to other clans by marriage, and all the partners chosen by this clan are considered the strongest in Vearth. They are the rulers of this star. The other gods revered them. However, within the family, they are no different from an ordinary human family. They live together, respect each other, and never fear the power of one another.
Eventually, because they are the rulers and the protectors of this world, all those they approve of will be accepted by every god of the current era. Even though they are afraid, with their trust in the sovereigns and his child, even the considered most evil god of this era was easily accepted in Vearth.
This had allowed Ye Xiajie to be able to walk among the other gods and would be prosecuted by the others. Though they still fear his power because he is then chosen as the other half of the God of Destruction, they do not fear him openly. They accepted his existence as an evil chosen by Hei Anjing, their guardian god.
After the proper introduction, Mo Baojun and Shen Siwang sat at the same table as Hunluan and the main couple. They waited for Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang to serve some drinks and eat some snacks at the table. Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie finally told them their request.
Stunned, Shen Siwang said, "You want me to create a vessel for Uncle Hunluan. I don't mind. Uncle, please give me materials and your preferences."
"It will leave that to Jing'er. He had chosen the vessel for my partner, and I had no idea how old that vessel was. You can ask him for details," said Hunluan.
Mo Baojun understands that it was his nephew who prepared the vessel for the World Eater. However, that person's ability is unique, and only beings born from his remnant soul fragments can become his vessel. Among these remnant soul fragments, there is only one directly connected to Vearth and them. Actually, there are two, but that one cannot be touched as it was his nephew's chosen one.
"Is it Gui Xiajun? The vessel you prepared for the World Eater, Xiao Jing'er," asked the Sovereign God of Life and Death, Mo Baojun.
The God of Destruction, Hei Anjing, said, "As expected of Uncle Baojun. Yes, it's him. However, I can declare something. The death of A'Xia because of the Ye Gui Race was something I had never expected."
"Eh? Gui Xiajun is the vessel for the World Eater?" Lord God An Liang asked.
The God of Space, Hei Jue, asked, "Is this why he is almost as strong as this retard?" He pointed at Ye Xiajie.
"You…!"
"A retard, indeed," Mo Baojun said.
Pfft~
The Sovereign God of Light and Creation laughs. While the God of Void and Darkness was appeased by his wife.
Lord God, An Liang, and Hei Jue were surprised. They would have never guessed that the person chosen as the vessel of the World Eater was Gui Xiajun. Actually, they were already shocked when they heard the origin of the God of Destruction. But that man had never been simple, right from when he was born. He had always been full of talent and power. If his origin had something to do with the strongest being in history, then his existence can now be explained. Thus, they easily accept this fact.
However, the thing about Gui Xiajun being the vessel is a different matter. This means that right from the very beginning, everything was under the God of Destruction's control. Except for the fact that Gui Xiajun had gone beyond his expectations and even touched his supposed elder brother, Ye Xiajie, who had been protecting him from a young age. That's why Hei Anjing personally intervened to bring his other half back to life, leading to the current situation.
Sovereign Lord Shen Siwang asked, "Do you know where he is now?"
"We met him in the last world, and Master placed something in him to track him," said the God of Void and Darkness.
Everyone was stunned by what Ye Xiajie called the World Eater. "Master!?"
"A'Ye, you called the World Eater 'Master? What is happening?" exclaimed Lord God An Liang.
Hei Jue pulled his husband, who had just grabbed his friend's collar and shaken him. "Calm down, A'Liang."
"We met him in the last world. He gave me the ability to control gluttony, so I treat him as Master," said the God of Void and Darkness.
Everyone except Hunluan and Hei Anjing was confused by his words. After all, in their minds, he had long been capable of using the power of gluttony, and there is no need to give him that ability yet again.
Sovereign God Shen Siwang asked, "Aren't you capable of wielding the power of gluttony before?"
At this question, Mo Baojun had some guesses in his heart and glanced at his almost omnipotent nephew, who just gave him a meaningful smile, making him sigh.
Sigh~
