Chapter 1683: 23.2 Vearth - Egg of Gluttony
Upon hearing the deep sigh the Sovereign God of Life and Death had let out, others realized that Mo Baojun didn't react in surprise when they heard Ye Xiajie becoming a disciple of the World Eater. He had some guesses, and when he saw his nephew smiling, he realized that the things that confused them most likely had something to do with him.
On the other hand, seeing that his brother is confused, the God of Void explained the situation to the God of Light.
He said, "The power of gluttony I've been using before was something Jing'er had lent me to have. Right now, I was provided with a fragment of gluttony that hasn't been born yet."
With a flip of his hand, an egg the size of an ostrich egg appeared above his palm. This egg immediately caught the attention of everyone inside the hall, even Hunluan. The purplish-black egg becomes the target of everyone's eyes in the hall. The egg had consciousness and trembled under the gazes of Shen Siwang, An Liang, Hei Jue, and Mo Baojun. Not far from them, Hei Anjing was watching the fun while Hunluan was observing the egg from a distance.
Shen Siwang asked, "Is this egg the source of your power of gluttony?" He tried to poke it with his fingers but was caught by his wife's hand.
Mo Baojun reprimands, "Don't carelessly touch unknown things!"
As for Lord God An Liang, who couldn't stop his curiosity and touched the egg. The moment he touched it, he felt something biting his finger. When he looked at the source, he saw the quiet egg from before showing rows of sharp teeth biting his fingers.
"Uwa! What the hell? This thing bites?" Lord God, An Liang exclaimed as he pulled his finger away.
"Who told you to touch it!?" Hei Jue looked at the weird egg and then at his owner with cold eyes. "As expected of your egg, it is stranger than yourself."
The God of Void snorted and ignored the taunt from the God of Space. This person didn't like him, no matter what he did anyway.
Shen Siwang asked, "I can feel your power coming from it. Did you feed it into the abyss?"
"Yeah, I felt it there for a while. Anyway, no matter how hungry it was, it could eat there endlessly. Though my servants inside hated it and threw it out after a few hours," said Ye Xiajie.
Shen Siwang said, "It didn't eat too much and almost ate your servants in the void, did it?" while looking warily at the weird egg.
He heard about the insatiable hunger the gluttony possessed. It can eat almost anything, and things will never be simple when it is involved. Though it is no worry for the Void being eaten, as they can revive endlessly in the abyss, being eaten still hurts their pride, making them unable to tolerate the egg, which is almost like a bottomless pit.
Knowing the possibility of this scene, Ye Xiajie stares at the egg in his hands. Under his scrutinizing gaze, the egg trembles a bit. It knew that his master must have learned how much he ate in the abyss and even ate small beings in it. Until a general-class Void creature captured it, he ate a lot inside the abyss. Just as the God of Void was about to scold the egg, his wife had taken it away from him.
Hei Anjing said, "This child is as pure-blooded as mine. It would need to eat a lot for it to hatch." He fed the egg some of his aura and let it tremble happily.
Even Hunluan checked on it and fed it enough chaos energy, which is good for it. It seems to like the aura of the God of Destruction and the Ancient God of Chaos. The egg finally calmed down and stopped shaking, even though the rows of teeth had faded, returning to its mode as an ordinary purplish-black color.
Hei Anjing, he said while returning the egg of gluttony to his other half, "It's asleep now. It will take a while for it to wake up, but if you are in danger, it will definitely wake you up to protect you. It's life that is connected to you after all."
"Jing'er, will this one continue to grow?" Ye Xiajie asked.
Hei Anjing hugged him and said, "Yes, it can grow as much as you want. However, think of its main ability. My gluttony's main ability is doppelganger. As long as it was someone I've seen before, I would be able to completely replicate it, including their ability. Though it wasn't as powerful as the original, my gluttony can copy the ability of the person he had transformed into~."
"No wonder. When I first met your gluttony, I really thought it was me. Now that I think about it, that detached version of myself is when I tried to stay away from you in the past and avoid you. It can even copy one's personality; that's amazing," said the God of Void while hugging his wife after hiding his egg once again.
Mo Baojun, seeing how sticky this couple is, wanted to pretend not to see anything and said, "Uncle Hunluan, I heard that you plan to descend with these brats. Leave it to us to create your vessel. Though it would take a while with all the adjustments needed for it, it can still be done."
"I see. Then I shall leave it to you and Siwang. Also, if possible, I would like to buy a piece of land in this star. However, I want it to be remote and private. Make it a bit closer to the Nether System," said Hunluan.
He knew that his son and the God of Void didn't live with the Mo family like the couple in front of them. After all, being exposed to the Void still has some negative effects on someone, and the Mo family erected a village with ordinary gods living with them. Thus, his son and his family can only live in the Nether System.
Shen Siwang said, "If it's the lands near the Nether System, the one who handles it wasn't us, though."
"You can leave it to us. We will find you a remote area within the territory that is unapproachable for ordinary gods," said Lord God An Liang.
Hei Aniing said, "I found a place remote and away from others, and I plan to create an entrance to the Void in that place. Once we finish our trial, our house will be rebuilt inside the Abyss. Let that entrance be closer to the land you will choose."
"You guys plan to live in the Void again?" asked Shen Siwang.
He had met Hei Anjing when he was still the incomplete god, Snow. At that time, the two might be hiding something from one another. But he had seen the small happiness between them. At that time, he is truly delighted that there is someone capable of accompanying his brother in that dark world. This is something he couldn't do even if he were a brother born on the same day as Ye Xiajie.
Ye Xiajie said, "Jing'er didn't like festivity and noise. The Void is quiet and less crowded. He will be able to sleep well there instead."
After seeing the True Domain of Destruction and entering it. He had heard the endless cries of agony and endless curses inside the domain. It never stops and will continue as long as the domain is activated. Even though the Domain of Destruction is beautiful in the eyes. What was buried in it was the ugliest part of the souls of the dead.
Simply put, it's noisier than hell in the Nether Prison. Moreover, those things cannot be passed on. They were killed and buried in the domain not only as nutrients for the chaos flowers but also as a source of power for the domain.
As the souls of those dead can only stay there forever, the noise would also continue to exist. However, with him around, these souls wouldn't dare to make a sound in his presence. He can be considered the God of Hell as well, as the Nether Prison is considered hell for the gods and goddesses in Vearth. Because of these, souls and such are terrified of him.
As expected, hearing his words, his beloved was happy enough to throw himself into his embrace. "I can live anywhere as long as I am with you!"
"Haha~ my son truly is too open with his feelings, so much like your father," said Hunluan as if reminiscing about the past when he and An Shizhe lived together.
Hei Anjing said, "The old man didn't seem to change much. I will make sure he goes to the world where we will descend next. However, for the trial of marriage, it requires that you both don't know each other and naturally meet. It will test how much your connection is and whether you will meet each other even when your memories are sealed."
"I know. I leave it to you. Just call me over when you are about to descend. I will go with you," said Hunluan. He said a few words to Shen Siwang and Mo Baojun about his vessel and left the place as how he had just appeared before.
