I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1446 : 20.10 First Black Star - Human Emperor

Mainland. Imperial Palaceʼs Throne Hall.

Official Xu Ming was pointed out by the Human Emperor. He has no choice, but to approach the Human Emperor. He was told to lift his head as he wasnʼt meeting the Human Emperorʼs eyes. In this kind of world, meeting the emperorʼs eyes is considered a crime. Now that he is forced to raise his head, Official Xu Ming meets the eyes of the human emperor.

Within his body, Zhi Yang was scanning the whole body of the Human Emperor before the officialʼs eyes. The Human Emperor looked at Xu Mingʼs eyes which gave him a dangerous feeling allowing a frown to appear on his royal face.

The Human Emperor spoke as he reached out towards Xu Mingʼs eyes. ”Your eyes seem to be different from the rest of your body. Is it fake?” He mercilessly dug out Official Xu Mingʼs left eye, which stunned everyone inside the walls.

AAAHHH~ The other officials in the throne room shouted as they witnessed such a cruel scene.

What made it even more terrifying is that the official whose eye saw dug out didnʼt even cry in pain. If not for the blood that strolls down from the empty, left eye socket, the other ministers and officials in the throne room would think that the eyeball in the human emperorʼs eyes is fake.

Blood drips from the empty eye socket of Official Xu Ming, but his other eye continues to stare at the Human Emperor. Though unlike his disinterested and scrutinizing gaze from before, this time the shock from his official eyes wasnʼt due to fear but instead a slight hint of realization. The Human Emperor stared at the young official with an expressionless face.

Seeing such a clear gaze coming from someone he had intentionally harmed made him a bit uncomfortable. He was the first one to avert his gaze.

”Is it not painful? Why donʼt you cry in pain?” Asked the Human Emperor.

Official Xu Ming responded with a pale face, ”I cannot do such rudeness before Your Majesty.”

The Human Emperor, whose gaze lingered a bit longer on Xu Mingʼs face, said, ”This Emperor was wrong. I will send some cultivators to cure your eyes. Until you are cured, you are to stay in your mansion to recuperate. Everyone else is dismissed!”

”Yes! Your Majesty!” The officials collectively saluted before the Human Emperor and watched him leave the throne room.

Once the Human Emperor had completely disappeared from their line of sight, they surrounded Official Xu Ming and saw that his missing eye socket was still bleeding.

”Summon a doctor!”

”Oh my god! Itʼs still bleeding so badly!”

”Are you alright, Xiao Ming?”

”Whatʼs with the mood swings of his majesty today?”

”This is the first time he has hurt someone.”

”Is it the back effect of taking someoneʼs purple qi for his own?”

”It doesnʼt seem to be purple anymore. Itʼs turning darker and darker as if its color were black.”

The last two comments are from the cultivators who were summoned by the Human Emperor to treat Xu Mingʼs eyes. The eye cannot be easily regenerated and it will take long before his eyes return to normal.

After being treated by the cultivators who swore loyalty towards the Human Emperor, Official Xu Ming returned home and System Yang, who had kept quiet ever since they met the eyes of the Human Emperor finally spoke out.

In the Capital. Official Xu Mingʼs mansion...

Warden Yun Ming has returned to the house of his current vessel, and the only difference is that he is now covered in a bandage as he lost an eye. System Yang, who was silent the whole time, spoke up.

[I apologize, Warden Yun Ming. It seems that it is true that he can feel my presence. I was using your left eye to look at him and he did such a thing. He can definitely sense my presence, but couldnʼt see me clearly,] System Yang said.

Official Xu Ming said, ”Itʼs alright. Itʼs not your fault. We canʼt heal my eye for now as he got his attention. So, what do you think? Is he the incarnation of Lord Hei in this world?”

[It seems like him, but not at the same time. What do you think?] System Yang said.

Warden Yun Ming said, ”They are similar. He is very similar to the Lord Hei before he met the God of Void in the Nether System, the God of Destruction, who is distant from anyone and would even hurt people just because he is bored.

At that time, he had no one to hold him back and he would do things without thinking much, like how that Human Emperor dug out an eye of mine and only reacted when he realized what he had done.”

System Yang couldnʼt believe the words of Yun Ming. But he didnʼt deny it, as they are indeed a time when he and Zhi Yue hadnʼt found him in Vearth and were focused on finding the reincarnation of the God of Void, which is Lord Ye Xiajie, who died in the hands of the Ye Gui Race. Moreover, at that time, Yun Ming was still the God of Fate and hadnʼt become a prisoner yet.

That was the period of time when Lord Hei had no connection to them yet.

[If this is real, then... are you sure that the current Human Emperor is Lord Hei?]

Warden Yun Ming said, ”Not a hundred percent sure, but... I think the soul fragment of my master in this world might be completely different from before. Donʼt you feel that weird aura in him felt a bit like... the darkness in the void?”

[Impossible! There is no sane person except for Lord Ye after they are affected by the abyss!] System Yang exclaimed.

Warden Yun Ming said, ”Isnʼt there a time when Lord Heiʼs previous life was left alone in the void for over a millennia? Maybe the soul fragment this time is someone from that time.”

[...]

System Yang wanted to deny Warden Yun Mingʼs words, but just the existence of the man who called himself Lord Chaos is one of the soul fragments before the current God of Destruction is called Lord Hei. He used to be called the incomplete Ancient God, Snow.

Because of this possibility, Zhi Yang couldnʼt declare Yun Mingʼs words as false and if his guesses were real, then the Lord Hei in this world would not only bring danger to any of them, but he would also treat the God of Void as his mortal enemy.

System Yang said, [Your speculation might be correct. We need to report this to the Sovereign Lord as soon as possible.]

”Not right now! You know that the Human Emperor has already noticed your presence. If you made a move then, he would definitely notice. Letʼs do it when We arrive in the capital,” said Yun Ming.

System Yang looked at his missing eye and said, [The Chief Warden would definitely like your current state. This is the first time you have gotten hurt in the world.

Moreover, if the human emperor is indeed Lord Heiʼs incarnation, the current vessels of the two of you cannot have much interaction, as at the current relationship between you three, the Chief Warden is currently someone not from the side of the current Human emperor but from the previous Emperor before him.

[Be careful not to be regarded as an enemy by him, as we are unsure about his identity as Lord Heiʼs reincarnation.]

Warden Yun Ming said, ”I know. I will send him a warning through the connection of our subsystem. Subsystems possess no life force after all.”

---

They exploited the existence of the subsystem to pass the message to the Chief warden and Zhi Yue. The details of what happened in the imperial palace were also reported through the subsystem. Of course, unless the two subsystems made a connection, the reports coming from the other would be one-sided.

The recipients of the report both frowned, but for two different reasons. The God of Void frowned as the guilt he felt towards Snow still lingered in his heart. It is just that his promise to his Jingʼer is now stronger than his guilt. He decided not to worry much about this situation, as he still had no means to meet the Human Emperor.

As for the Chief Warden, he felt a bit of anger for being away from his lover, which caused him to be wounded when he was alone and failed to protect him.

But that didnʼt mean he would be careless when interacting with the Human Emperor, especially since the investigation of his lover and Zhi Yang led to the probability that the current Human Emperor might be Lord Heiʼs reincarnation in this world, which also means that he is the one they came here for in this world.

He can only warn his lover not to make any more attempts to test the Human Emperor and focus instead on finding any traces of Ye Yan and Hei Suya. This is a task probably much safer than facing the unknown Human Emperor.

At the Anjia Village...

Wang Xiajie, who just received the report through Zhi Yue, who just got back from the market with Aunt Yan, frowned but spoke of nothing about the possibility of the current soul fragment being a part of the incomplete Ancient God, Snow.

”Milord? What should we do next?” whispered Zhi Yue as he saw that the old couple were in the kitchen, busying around to make a fire and meals for the group.

Wang Xiajie said, ”Nothing. Let the two wardens investigate things first. Since it is unsure whether my ex-wife in this world is a fragment of Snowʼs soul, then just focus on finding my cousin and his lover first. I came here for that reason, although their importance is only sent to my wifeʼs soul fragment. For now, let destiny take its course.”

Zhi Yue mumbles, ”I think the lord is just terrified to see Lord Heiʼs reincarnation in this world.”

”Shut up!” whispered Wang Xiajie as his expression looked menacing, scaring the stupid moon. ”If you have nothing to do, go to the village leader and buy a few lands, including the lands around this house and the place of Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan. You know what to do.”

Zhi Yue saluted and hurried out, as he was afraid of getting beaten up. ”Yes, My Lord!”

Under the command of Wang Xiajie, Zhi Yue went to the village leader and started purchasing lands within the village. Zhi Yue didnʼt even bargain, as he bought the lands that could be bought and rented those that could only be rented. Of course, he informed the village leader that his lord planned to rent some land they had bought for the villagers to use.

It would at least be lower than the market price allowing them to gather enough resources not only to pay the taxes, but also to save some for their families. The price Zhi Yue quoted is a lot lower than normal which made the Village Leader delighted.

Such happy news had spread throughout the whole village the next morning, and these people came over to Wang Xiajieʼs house to thank him, as he is now their new landlord. There is also news from Zhi Yue that he can teach the villagers how to farm, as most of them were mostly hunters who had no idea when it came to farming.

Of course, Wang Xiajie is still forbidden to come out of his house until he is fully healed.

Only Zhi Yueʼs figure running around the village can be seen every morning. He became the next likable person in the village thanks to his relationship with Wang Xiajie, and the whole village was welcoming to him. After all, he is the servant of Wang Xiajie, and they would definitely see him in the village much more often than before.
