I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 372: 8.97 First Blue Star - Younger Brother

In the Oberion Empire

At the Imperial Palace, the First Kingʼs Palace.

The original luxurious interior of the place was replaced by something unique and minimal designing. The original gold-plated pillars and walls were changed to single-colored jade walls and pillars. Even the tacky and furniture from before like the couches and table set in the living was replaced as well.

Gui Xiajun sat on one of these black couches and just hid the crystal communication device he used to contact Hei Lian. His friendly and concerned gaze from before had faded as his act was finished. He is someone who treats the current prince of the Ye Gui race like Ye Tianyu respected in front of his face but when he is alone all the usual emotion in his face is gone. 

This personʼs ability to act is first class. He could imitate all emotions at will and could play any type of personality as he likes but this manʼs original personality is silent and cold. The hidden aura he possesses is dangerous but not overwhelming like Ye Xiajie has, a silent yet deadly threat that is how his aura is. 

This time he summoned his own system which is named as Zhi Yang.

Guo Xiajun mumbled in thin air, ”Zhi Yang, show me what is happening at the Planet Citlali. Give me the perspectives of Marshal Sirius, Feng Jing, and Hei Lian.”

[As you wish, Young Lord.] replied to him by his System Yang.

His system is unlike the others, it is the same as System Yue who wasnʼt originally a prisoner but a cultivator who was tasked to guide someone. Though the full control is over the privileges of the God System instead of the Nether System.

The usual holographic screen that can only be seen by world hoppers like him appeared before him showing three different perspectives as he had requested. On the last screen, he saw He Lian creeping near the boundaries of the main war zone where Marshal Sirius is restraining the Zerg King in his human form.

Marshal Sirius is cold and indifferent like a demon king overlooking the death of anyone yet still deem their endings as something akin to boredom. His face is devoid of emotions and his eyes were filled with arrogance and haughtiness no one could contend to. His self-esteem is so high that he looks down on anything aside from his beloved.

Seeing this kind of Ye Xiajie, Gui Xiajun couldnʼt control his eyes but showed some tender affection. It is that same affectionate gaze that Hei Anjing shows to his husband but the tenderness one would show towards a family member. 

A modest smile appeared near the corner of Gui Xiajunʼs lips as he stared at Ye Xiajieʼs current state. ”Sooner all your memories should be able to return. I wonder how would you accept the ending where that person had given up his everything just to bring you back to life.”

He moves his gaze to look at the figure of Feng Jing toying at the Zerg Queen like a toy. Thereʼs a slight madness and excitement within those pairs of crimson eyes which he had remembered to be something that should possess the color of the sea instead of blood.

A Cruel God. Thatʼs how everyone in Vearth sees the God of Destruction. He is as cold as the North Pole towards everyone except for his family, lukewarm towards those he likes, and like a spring breeze towards his family which he cares for.

But I would expect that this cold-hearted person would be like an ordinary human towards the person he had given his heart to. Loyal to the point of death and sincerity that could reach the heavens. His love for the person who had melted his ice-coated heart is everlasting. He could even sacrifice his everything for the person he had chosen as his other half. A love that is envied and wanted by everyone but is unable to get it.

Gui Xiajun once again murmured, ”You should at least know how much that person had given up for you, big brother~”

Then he asked his System Yang to do a few things.

”System Yang, can you send an encrypted message to your counterpart?”

[Yes. I can. Even if Zhi Yueʼs Memories were sealed off by my master, I could always reach out to him. Just tell me what you wanted to say in the message. But I should give you a warning, Young Lord Xiajun might be my current host but the master had issued orders to prevent you from talking about the past to the Zhi Yueʼs Master. This Yang will have to pull you out immediately from this world if you say things you shouldnʼt have.]

Gui Xiajun replied, ”I know. I promise not to tell him things he shouldnʼt know but... Are you really going to stop me? Your master had weakened enough that his cultivation had fallen too much from being a Celestial God. His soul would only get weaker as my big brother took back all his soul fragments. After all, his current source of life is Saoziʼs soul core.”

Retorted with the facts, System Yang could only silently listen and remain quiet. No one knew what he was thinking as Gui Xiajun couldnʼt even see the expression of Zhi Yang.

[I will turn a blind eye this once. But after this, you are not allowed to meet them until that moment.] 

”Thank you, Brother Yang,” said Gui Xiajun.

He knew that by turning a blind eye to this plan is like committing sins towards his master. Zhi Yang is willing to be punished for giving this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

[Let me remind you. I will allow you to meet Master Xiajie but... You arenʼt allowed to talk about the past with him.] 

Gui Xiajun responded, ”I will not talk about it.”

[Sigh~ what message do you want to send? Give the contents.]

”Please write it this way~” replied Gui Xiajun.

Meanwhile at the abandoned star, Citlali.

In the north forest near the central region, a white battered with colossal sized centipede can be seen hanging by a thread for its life. Some of its feet were plucked off and the strong armored shell protecting its internal organs was battered to the point of peeling. 

This queen zerg was played by Feng Jing until its mouth was foaming and its body was twitching. It was already half-dead from being beaten up. In the end, Feng Jing got bored of it as it was too weak even for a warmup.

Feng Jing murmured, ”This thing is too weak. If I want to fight for real I need to enter a Cultivation World to roam around.”

The Zerg Queen on the verge of death, ”Krieek~ Human. No. You. Not. Human. Not. Human. M-Monster. KRIEEEKK~”

Being called as a monster, Feng Jing is used to it but this doesnʼt mean that those words are nice to hear. It was especially annoying in the ears of Feng Jing. With the white phoenixʼs fire under his control, he slowly burns the stupid alien bug. Its tormenting screams can be heard all over the planet. 

KKK RRRRRR IIIIIII EEEEEEEEE KKKKKK~~~

The culprit of this fire only watches the twisting bugs under him with disdain in his eyes. His expression was as cool as cucumber. The white flames combusted the humongous body of the white centipede and it only took a few minutes before it turned into a large pile of ashes. After staring at the pile of ash grey mountains under his feet, Feng Jing lightly smirked.

Feng Jing murmured, ”A monster hah? Itʼs been a while since I heard someone call me as such. Makes me a bit nostalgic for a moment...” then he rode on his quantum beast back and retracted his wings. Riding on Reine, the Hybrid Phoenix-dragon quantum beast, Feng Jing flew away to return to where his husband was.

Meanwhile on the Marshalʼs side.

Altair Sirius closed his eyes for a moment as if taking a nap but he didnʼt take that unknown presence lurking near him. The presence has the same ambiance of aura coming from Hei Jue but the aura on the latter is stronger. It is the existence of space essence in the air. That feeling of distorting the area of dimension around them. It made him uncomfortable and wanted to restore his calmness. His wife can also control the space element but the ice essence loves him more which is why the scent of winter mixed with refreshing sweet scent comes from him. This scent relaxes his nerves no matter what the situation. As if finishing an oasis in the middle of the desert is that kind of feeling. To him, his wife is his only solace.

The marshal was about to make his move to instantly kill that annoying bug lurking around him. But he was suddenly called by Zhi Yue who is currently lingering around him as a system. Whenever he is fully awake in any world, his wife would always leave Zhi Yue to serve him instead of himself.

Even the Lord God couldnʼt understand why Hei Anjing did such a thing. But for some unknown reason, he who hated the existence of others except his wife could tolerate System Yueʼs presence around him. It is not a special feeling like what he has towards his lover but something like an extension of himself.

[Milord, this subordinate noticed the nearby presence observing us from a distance. She is using some kind of item that keeps her presence but it wasnʼt enough to cover her soulʼs existence. Iʼve also checked who she is. She is a descendant of Hei named Lian.

Plus, an unknown message was sent to my database without me knowing. It was able to bypass all my firewalls protocols without destroying anything. Normally, such a thing is impossible. Does the Lord wish to read the message? The contents are vague but... I think the lord would be interested in it.]

At first, Zhi Yue didnʼt wish to report this weird message but when he saw the contents of the message even he himself was shocked. It was pertaining to something he and his Lord God are intrigued about. This is a message concerning the hidden past between his host and his lord. Something his host doesnʼt want to let them know.

As expected the Lord God unhurriedly opened his eyes revealing a pair of obsidian irises that are as dark as the night. Staring at it makes it feel like looking at the endless abyss with nothing but darkness in it.

Marshal Sirius spoke, ”Show this Lord.”

[As you wish, Milord.]

A holographic screen that only the Marshal could see appeared in front of his face. The content of the message is the following,

ʼDo you wish to know your hidden past? I can show you but you must die once and meet me at the Ancestral Temple where the Phoenix Race enters Rebirth. As the other half of the strongest phoenix, you have multiple chances for rebirth. You cannot tell your wife, he wouldnʼt allow you to meet me.

Sincerely, Your younger brother Xiajun.ʼ

The reason System Yue deemed the message strange is because of that unknown being calling himself as the Lord Godʼs younger brother. But as far as he knows the Lord Godʼs origins are unknown and the rest of them know that he is an orphan. But this mysterious person is declaring himself as a little brother.

Upon reading the name of the sender who had sent the message, Marshal Siriusʼs expression turned a bit serious.

”Xiajun...? So he is still alive...” murmured Altair Sirius.

This time Zhi Yue who overheard his lordʼs murmuring was stunned to learn that his milord indeed has a younger brother.

[M-Milord, you have a younger brother?]

The Marshal replied, ”I have a lot of half-blood-related brothers but only Xiajun is fully related to me. I thought he had died as he never came to meet me. So he is still alive... I will meet him.”

[B-But the hist... how about the Venerable Lord Hei? He would definitely like this!!!]

Zhi Yue could already imagine the God of Destruction going crazy.

”The Hei Clan can control space elements. Even a High God like that woman would be able to at least instantly teleport. Change his stealth item to the one that can fully hide the soul and existence. We will make it that she had successfully ambushed me. Donʼt worry about my wife. Now he has the full memories he might have... maybe... probably... hold back.” said the Marshal but his last sentence is full of uncertainty.

[Milord, you yourself donʼt seem very confident about it.]

Marshal Sirius clicked his tongue and stood up straight from his lazy posture from before. He looked at his quantum beast, Roi, and ordered, ”Roi, instantly teleported back all the human beings to the Capital for this lord.”

[I will follow the order but Master... are you sure you are going to do this? You had already made your wife angry before. If you do this again he might not want to marry you.]

Thinking of that possibility is quite huge that he couldnʼt stop hitting the head of the black dragon for his crowʼs beak. He was afraid that it might really happen.

”Do as you were ordered. Both of you!” said the Marshal.

System Yue and the quantum beast, Roi, looked at each other and bowed their heads respectively while sighing helplessly in their hearts. They knew that this old married couple would definitely quarrel again because of this. Sadly, they couldnʼt change the mind of their master and could only comply with their orders.

[Everything will go as you had willed, Lord God!]
