I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1492: 20.56 First Black Star - Half Soul of Hei Xiaojing

In the emperor’s chamber…

After Lord Juedi had left, those who remained were still stunned and looking at each other. Suddenly, the fake human emperor was covered in with black runes. The sound of the soul ripping can even be heard by those who were watching and the painful screams of the fake human emperor as his soul was being shaped.

But in the process of completion of the life-exchange curse, something unexpected happened, just his face was about to reach the perfect replica of the original human emperor, as if something took over the curse and gave him an average looking similar to the Hei Xiaojing yet looking like a low-level copy.

After the pain subsided, An Ziwei, who took over the life of Hei Xiaojing, was grinning as he finally got what he wanted.

”Hahaha~ finally Hei Xiaojing’s identity is mine~” said An Ziwei.

What he didn’t notice is that everyone is looking at him with a weird look as if seeing something not nice to the eyes. Only the almost transparent soul of Hei Xiaojing watched this scene as if it was something he had expected.

This half soul of Hei Xiaojing commented with mockery in his voice, ”Even if a monkey copied a human, it is still a monkey.”

Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue couldn’t help but nod at these words especially after seeing what happened to the face of the proud man in front of them. They couldn’t understand why this person’s face got worse after the curse of exchanging life had been completed, but it seems that the soul they had saved knew something about this.

”You knew this would happen if you left his body?” asked Zhi Yang.

The half soul responded, ”Of course! Why do you think that bastard would seal me in his body? This thing is my cousin by blood, he wanted to use me to transform his appearance closest to mine. He didn’t look this worse before, but because he wanted a perfect version of my face that his appearance became like that. That being would never like someone looking exactly like himself.”

”What the hell are you talking about?” asked An Ziwei, who heard what his cousin’s half soul had just said. He was stunned and couldn’t understand the meaning of his words at all. Leaving him all bewildered. Find adventures at empire

The half soul of Hei Xiaojing suggested, ”Why don’t you look in a mirror to check whether you got what you truly wanted?”

An Ziwei, who now possessed the identity as the human emperor, grabbed the only bronze mirror in his room. He was shocked when he saw his appearance. It was indeed his cousin’s face, but for some reason, it looks uglier than how he imagined it. It was the lost grade appearance one can have, yet at the same time no one can deny that this is the human emperor’s face for some reason.

AHHH!

”What the hell is this face!? This is not my face! Cousin, don’t look this ugly!!” exclaimed An Ziwei as keeps shouting in rejection to his current face. He keeps staring at the bronze mirror’s reflection and even rubs his face for countless times. No matter what he does, the beautiful face of his cousin doesn’t appear in his reflection.

An Ziwei was in denial and said, ”I know! It’s the mirror that had a problem! I need to look for other mirrors!!” He then runs out of the room forgetting about his uninvited guests and the half-soul of his own cousin that used to be sealed in him.

Zhi Yue commented, ”Is he a fool?”

Ignoring the cannon fodder emperor that had run off, ”Who is this being you are talking about?” asked Zhi Yang.

The two systems had a feeling that whoever this person this half-soul is talking about must be the real incarnation of Lord Hei in this world. After all, the resemblance of this man to their Lord Hei is too obvious if they are only talking of the face alone.

The half-soul suddenly shut up as if he was forbidden from saying who it was, even though he knew who that man they were asking about is. Zhi Yang was the first to notice this half-soul’s abrupt silence. It was something beyond his control, as if something was muting him once he wanted to mention that being’s identity.

Zhi Yang asked, ”You can’t tell us who he is?”

The half-soul nods his head as an answer to Zhi Yang’s query.

Zhi Yue asked, ”How about his location?”

The half soul shook his head.

”Can’t you even give us a clue or something?” asked Zhi Yue.

The half-soul said, ”He is the strongest in this world.”

The two systems laughed and said, ”That’s what we already know.”

”What are you talking about? You said you don’t know his name and his location, yet you knew his power? How can that be possible?” asked the half-soul.

Zhi Yue said, ”We know his original self. What you met is just a part of his real soul? Moreover, it seems you are his clone. No wonder Milord is not that interested in you guys.”

”But protecting you is a must. We don’t know if the death of a clone had effects on him. Just to be safe, we are going to save you and bring you to the other half of your soul,” said Zhi Yang.

This half-soul actually recognized Zhi Yang; after all, it was he who noticed his presence inside that official’s body when he overtook the body of An Ziwei, albeit only temporarily.

”It was you. You are the one I felt inside that official’s body. I sensed you using his eyes and dug it out to check. That official, you two as well as the great general. All of you are not originally from here. Then...

is that Wang Xiajie I saw that night also the same as you guys?” asked the half-soul of the human emperor.

Zhi Yue said, ”Yes. So, it was you who can use the elements of darkness. Is this something given to you as well?”

”He gave it to me. He said it wouldn’t be interesting if I get eaten by someone like my cousin,” answered the half-soul of Hei Xiaojing. ”Since the real Wang Xiaojing is dead, there is no need for me to protect the throne. After all, he can’t return anymore. You guys can do as you wish.”

He chose to sleep knowing that his mission to protect the throne is no longer being used. The betrayal they had chosen at that time caused Wang Xiajie to leave the capitol, and with them knowing, the ministers and officials he chose to save had planned to kill their former emperor. As expected, human’s trust shouldn’t be given wholeheartedly.

Those ministers and officials begged to be saved, but in the end it was them who chose to kill their real master. What’s the point of continuing to protect these kinds of people? At the very least, they had enough of them. A soul orb replaced the almost transparent half-soul of Hei Xiaojing. Zhi Yue took him away and looked at Zhi Yang.

Zhi Yue said, ”His soul had been weakened greatly. It must merge with the other half to start its healing.”

”Warden Yun, would be dropping by soon. He is heading to the south which is near the borderland. It’s better to hand him this soul. We still need to investigate about the being this half soul had mentioned. There is also the missing domain lord. It is also weird that the man who attacked me before didn’t appear this time,” said Zhi Yang.

Zhi Yue said, ”Isn’t that man’s goal to complete the life-exchange curse on that mortal? Since it had been achieved, he might no longer be interested in this place.”

”But after the creator failed to get anything from Ye Yan and Hei Suya, he wanted to capture that person the most in this world. He is most likely the mastermind that caused the death of Lord Ye,” said Zhi Yang.

Zhi Yue said, ”Doesn’t that mean that man is that dangerous? H-How about we don’t look for him.”

”We won’t. Our priority is the master’s incarnation after all,” said Zhi Yang with a smile as he patted Zhi Yue’s head.

Zhi Yue sighed in relief and said, ”That’s good. Then it wouldn’t be so dangerous~”

The two systems had completely forgotten about the puppet that was left in the room and heard everything they’ve said. When they noticed him, they immediately replaced him with a new one and decided to watch the chaos in the imperial palace caused by the new human emperor, An Ziwei, who was reborn with the ugly version of Hei Xiaojing’s face.

He couldn’t accept that he had ended up with such an appearance. Even so, thanks to the completion of the curse, he is now seen by everyone as the real Hei Xiaojing, which is what he wanted all his life except that he has an ugly face right now.

On the same day when the evening arrived, Warden Yun Ming finally arrived at the imperial palace and met the two systems. They told him everything that had happened and passed the soul orb of the half soul that Hei Xiaojing left behind.

After receiving the soul orb from the two systems, Warden Yun Ming said, ”So, the human emperor was truly a clone? No wonder Lord Ye isn’t too clingy to the other half soul of the human emperor. Have you asked the identity of the real incarnation of the Master in this world?”

”He was forbidden to say it,” said Zhi Yang.

Zhi Yue said, ”We didn’t force him after learning how Ye Yan died from a curse. Moreover, he is the clone of Lord Hei’s incarnation. We are afraid that ’him’ dying would cause harm to the real body.”

”That’s also true. It’s good to be careful. I will take this soul back to Lord Ye and head to the south. Also, be careful of evil cultivators of this world. They might not be strong, but they seem to be involved in all events in this world,” said Yun Ming. ”They might be subordinates of that man who attacked us.”

”Okay. We will be careful,” said Zhi Yang.

Zhi Yue said, ”Take care on your way. Contact us with your subsystems!”

”I will. See you later,” said Yun Ming as he once again left the capital to bring the half-soul of Hei Xiaojing. As for the events unfolding in the Imperial Palace, they no longer had any interest in getting involved.
