I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1501: 20.65 First Black Star - Waiting

The sudden arrival of the God of Void in the Profound Sect was unknown to others except for the ones he appeared in front of. He is now listening to the story this old sect master had experienced when he picked their holy son, An Juejing, when he was young.

”It was before this old man became the sect master. I was on my way back to the sect after completing the inheritance mission and had passed through the territory of the evil cultivators. At that time, the evil cultivators weren’t as hidden as they are right now. They have their own palace and mountain.”

”This mountain was called Mt. Xie. This mountain is gone in the current era. I picked up the baby An Juejing in an abandoned temple near this mountain. There was no one around him, and he was only covered in a cloth while placed on the altar table.”

”At that time, I had no other reason, yet for something unknown, I suddenly got the urge to rest in that temple and found him there.”

”He didn’t look abandoned. He was clean and wrapped in a silk-like cloth, and he even looked healthy and pure. I waited all day for someone to come and bring him home. Three days later, no one arrived, and this old man decided to bring him with me to the Profound Sect.”

”Divine One, that’s all this old man knows!”

After the sect master retold the whole situation when he picked the current Holy Son when he was young, the other elders around him felt pity for the young Holy Son. Even after three days, no one had returned to the temple to pick the baby up. This only meant that someone had left him intentionally at the abandoned temple.

The elders commended:

”How can there be parents who abandoned a child to die in the wild!?”

”Should we be grateful they didn’t leave him in a forest or something? An abandoned temple allowed the baby to live in a place with four walls and a roof.”

”Stop being sarcastic. At least they didn’t kill on the spot!”

The God of Void looked at this group of elders with disdain. He couldn’t understand why none of them felt that the story was weird. He observed the old sect master, and obviously, he himself didn’t feel that what he had experienced at that time was strange.

”You didn’t notice anything weird with what you said?” Wang Xiajie asked.

The sect master of the Profound Sect responded, ”I swear what I said is all true!”

”I didn’t say that you are lying,” said the God of Void. ”I am questioning everything you had experienced at that time.”

”You said you passed by the territory of the Evil Faction. But how can you enter without getting caught?”

”Even staying in the abandoned temple just beside the mountain under the Evil Faction for three days, you didn’t bump into any patrolling minions or disciples who went out for fun.”

”Lastly, in those last three days you waited for someone to pick up the brat, did you feed him or something? Or did he survive without eating for three days as a baby?”

These two queries left the sect master and elders of the Profound Sect. It was only at this moment that they realized that what they were focusing on was completely out of the picture. Why didn’t they think of any of these three questions, especially after listening to this background story of the holy son multiple times?

It was only at this time that they woke up from a dream. Just how long had they been thinking like fools, ignoring the truth that was before their eyes? They suddenly grabbed their heads as if something was stabbing their brains. The God of Void watched them fall in agony for a few minutes until they all woke up.

The God of Void, who is just a bystander, noticed a wisp of darkness coming out of the body of this group of old men. He knew that they were under some kind of illusion all these years, and it had something to do with their Holy Son.

Urg~

One by one, these old men woke up and stood from where they were. They were confused for a moment until they all recalled what happened. An enraged expression appeared collectively on their faces as they just realized what had been happening all these years.

The old sect master was the first one to recognize all the evil faction spies that integrated with their sect, and the other elders also have an inkling of who these people were.

”Elders, please make a move personally this time. Clean up all the spies in our sect and kill them all!” ordered the Sect Master.

The elders collectively saluted and responded, ”Yes, Sect Master!”

All the elders left the pavilion to clean up the spies from the evil faction. All that was left were the old sect master and Wang Xiajie.

The old sect master of the Profound Sect said, ”Thank you for helping us wake up from this illusion that lasted for years, Divine One!”

”It was done by passing. What do you plan to do to your holy son?” asked Wang Xiajie.

The old sect master frowned. Even though he knew that his disciple might not have something to do with this evil faction, just the fact he was used as a catalyst to control the profound sect made it hard for others to accept him again. However, for some reason, the Divine One is interested in their Holy Son. It’s just that he couldn’t think of anything that might interest God.

Isn’t their Holy Son just a mortal?

”I wish to leave our holy son to the Divine One’s care if you don’t mind,” replied the old sect master.

The God of Void smiled and said, ”You can leave him to me. To compensate for your sect, I will give a few cultivation techniques. It would be considered more useful than what you have right now.”

With a wave of his hand, a few cultivation books fell on the stone table beside the old sect master. There are also three jade bottles filled with three longevity pills each. As well as a few low-grade artifacts he made as toys for children and more things that will help them in their cultivation.

The God of Void said, ”Receive all of this from this deity; all I want you to do is to act normal whenever the brat returns here for a visit. That’s all I wanted from you.”

The old sect master was stunned as he raised his head in surprise; he saw a flash of gentleness within the Divine One’s eyes. Only then he understand that maybe the origin of the holy son does not simply have something to do with the evil faction but also with the divine one before him.

”We promise to do as the exalted one wishes!”

”Keep that in mind,” said the God of Void.

The next moment he raised his head for the second time, the figure of the God of Void had disappeared. Like how he had appeared before, he had also disappeared the same way. Abrupt without sound and in an instant.

The sect master mumbles, ”Is this the ancient space technique? Teleportation!”

Meanwhile, somewhere is where the hideout of the Evil Faction is located.

A blazing flame engulfs the hidden palace within the black forest. This is also one of the hideouts under the Evil Faction. Something the Chief Warden and Holy Son, An Juejing, had found after following the traces and information they had gathered from the other bases. Unfortunately, this place is not the place the Chief Warden is looking for.

The Chief Warden said, ”Just where the hell is their main headquarters!?”

Beside him, Holy Son, An Juejing looked at the blazing flames with an indifferent gaze. As if what was happening before him wasn’t something that could enter his line of sight. The Chief Warden had been used to this kind of expression. Usually, his master, the God of Void, and his master’s wife, the God of Destruction, would wear this kind of disinterested expression.

But when the Holy Son, An Juejing, noticed him staring, this young mother just looked at him and smiled with a bit of playful touch that was beyond his control, yet the depths of his eyes were cold, unlike the usual innocence he used to have.

Holy Son, An Juejing asked, ”What’s wrong, General?”

The chief warden had seen this expression multiple times on one person, and that person was the God of Destruction, Hei Anjing.

He can only respond, ”...Nothing. We should take a rest and head to the borderlands. I need to report to my master again.”

”Heh, okay~. I will go with you,” said the Holy Son of the Profound Sect, An Juejing.

The Chief Warden pretended he didn’t notice the sudden difference with the holy son and acted like he did before. He didn’t show a servile attitude in case the one that is currently using the body of the holy son leaves without saying a word. He just felt that this might be the person they had been looking for.

”Let’s go back now. The fire will fade once the palace is burned to ashes. Since there is no one to save anymore, there is no need for us to take detours,” said the Chief Warden as he turned around to leave and took the lead.

What he didn’t know was that the man behind him smiled even wider while looking at his fleeting back.

”Interesting. He knows that I am no longer the Holy Son, but still acts normal as if he didn’t notice anything. Maybe they are truly the ones I’ve been waiting for~” mumbled the other soul inside the Holy Son, An Juejing. He flew on his sword, following the flying Chief Warden not far from him.
