I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1453 20.17 First Black Star - Taken Away

The ministers and officials in the throne hall were stunned by the words of the warden from the upper realm, who stood before the human emperor. He limits the question the Sect Master from the floating island has, but he is willing to answer all the queries of their human emperor.

For some reason, they felt proud, as if the leader they had chosen received the worship he was entitled to. On the other hand, the human emperor felt there was something more in the words of this outsider. As an outsider god, the human emperor shouldnʼt have any connection with this person, but for some reason he is being treated differently by him, which makes him suspicious.

”This biased way of speaking? Is there another reason someone from the upper realm treats this Zhen like this? Arenʼt mortals no different from ants in the eyes of your exalted gods?” said the human emperor with a sarcastic tone.

The human emperorʼs mood turned suspicious at this moment, but Warden Yun Ming doesnʼt seem to mind it much and is calm even under the sudden coercive aura he emits. He was no longer leaning on his hand and sat straight properly with his phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed dangerously. The human emperor was no longer as amiable as before.

Even so, Warden Yunʼs calmness didnʼt falter and she said, ”Please do not overthink that I have other intentions. I am only doing this to fulfill the wish the original owner of this vessel wants.”

Upon hearing about the original Xu Ming being mentioned, the human emperor slightly calms down. ”Wish? Are you saying Official Xu Mingʼs wish had something to do with Zhen (this emperor)?” he asked.

Warden Yun Ming said, ”Yes, of course. This child admires you the most. He might be ambitious, but all of it was because he feels like he owes you his life. Maybe Your Majesty couldnʼt no longer remember, but according to the memories of this young man, Your Majesty seems to have saved him before. At that time, Your Majesty was still a young general.”

”Saved him? I donʼt recall saving a...”

The human emperor felt a short recollection that involved saving a young boy who was about to run over by a horse carriage. He only picked him up because he was near him and eventually saved him.

”Hm? So that was him. It was not much worth remembering, but no wonder he wanted to help me secure the throne as stable as possible. Did he think this lousy throne was important to Zhen?”

”No. He just felt that a good person like you would fit to sit on that throne much more than the others. Us who take over oneʼs body who was dead were entitled to fulfill the last wishes of the original owner of the vessel. His last wish were entitled to fulfill the last wishes of the original owner of the vessel.

His last wish were entitled to fulfill the last wishes of the original owner of the vessel. His last wish were entitled to fulfill the last wishes of the original owner of the vessel. His last wish was to help his majesty until the end, which ended up becoming my mission as I took over. In this world, I will try my best to fulfill what you truly wanted.

As long as it doesnʼt go against my superior and colleague, I am willing to listen to your wishes, Your Majesty,” Warden Yun Ming said.

The human emperor looked at him for a while, trying to find any lies within his words. But this warden just looked at him with clear eyes, as if all his words were the truth. It was only then that the tension in the throne room faded.

He said, ”There is only one thing I wanted to know. My ex-husband, the former human emperor? Is he alive or not?”

”He is alive, but no longer the person you remember him as,” said Yun Ming.

Aside from these words, he didnʼt go into details and was obviously not allowed to tell the man in front of him that the soul of the former human emperor had longed to enter reincarnation and that he died under a blind bear without completely recalling all his past memories, including his life on the mainland.

The human emperor knew that he might have known more than the answer to his question, but he also noticed that this man had stopped himself from going into details, as it meant getting directly involved with his life.

The human emperor said, ”Last question. His location?”

”Within the territory under the command of Your Majesty, I can only sense that much, but not his exact location.”

Warden Yun Ming didnʼt tell him that the former human emperor was in the borderlands. He was actually afraid that once this man and the God of Void met, another chaos would fall in this world. Especially not with that strange other soul in the human emperorʼs body.

The human emperor mumbles, ”Itʼs good that he is alive. Better that he is still within my territory. As long as he isnʼt dead, then everything can still be solved.”

After the meeting in the throne hall was adjourned, Yun Ming took over the possessions of Ye Yan and Hei Suya, who had fainted. He brought them over to his mansion and locked them in there. Warden Yun Ming sent a message about these two prisoners that night to the God of Void.

But who would have thought that on the very same evening, someone would sneak in his room and take away Ye Yan and Hei Suya, whom he had locked into the dungeon of Xu Mingʼs mansion?

A man whose appearance and full body figure were covered in black clothes appeared in the mansion and caught Yun Ming off guard. System Yang and Yun Ming noticed the sudden arrival of this man and were shocked by the thick power of darkness coming from this person.

Yun Ming shouted, ”Who are you? How did you get inside this house?”

[Warden Yun, this person is not a mortal. Even though I couldnʼt see through his appearance, with how thick the darkness was covering him, he might have intentionally come over here to take those two prisoners away. Be careful!] System Yang said.

The two of them worked together to fight against the black-clothed man, but this personʼs control over the power of darkness doesnʼt exist at all. The darkness was out of control, and this man would throw some their way at an angle they could hardly dodge. In the end, both Yun Ming and System Yang were tainted by the darkness and the man had successfully escaped with Ye Yan and Hei Suya. Discover hidden stories at empire

Before System Yang completely fainted, he sent an emergency message to System Yue and the subsystem owned by the Chief Warden. The last thing Zhi Yang had seen was the scene of the man covered in all black, leaving Ye Yan and Hei Suya unconscious.

[Emergency Message: A black-clothed man who can control the darkness from the Void has taken away Prisoner Ye Yan and Hei Suya.]

---

This emergency message was received by one who was nearing the south region and the other in the borderlands. The first to receive the message was Zhi Yang, who had direct communication with Zhi Yang. He was holding a hoe and farming on the farmland when a message from Zhi Yang entered his brain.

[Ding! Emergency message from System Yang. Do you wish to open the message?]

Upon seeing the word emergency, Zhi Yue, who was holding a hoe, instantly let go of his farming and opened the message. When he saw the content of the message from Zhi Yang, he immediately opened the point of view of Zhi Yang and saw the scene of the Warden Yun Ming and Zhi Yang unconscious on the ground, with some parts of their bodies gaining black tattoos that seemed to spread in their bodies.

Only the dark elements that come from the Void could taint gods in such a state. The two had fallen unconscious due to divine protection from the God of Void. Tainting is a common effect of the darkness, and it cannot be easily purified unless the God of Light himself descends. The other way to remove the darkness within oneʼs soul is to have the God of Void himself extract it from their bodies.

Wardens from the Nether System receive a blessing from the God of Void himself. His blessing removed the extreme pain of one whose soul is being tainted and fell unconscious as a protective state.

Darkness from the abyss itself cannot be controlled by others except the god of void; this darkness would try to taint anyone as long as it entered oneʼs vessel, and only the god of void can remove this darkness from someoneʼs body.

Seeing the state of Yun Min and Zhi Yang, Zhi Yue immediately ran towards the house where the God of Void was resting. To avoid the peering of the mortals, he even activated a time-stop spell as he appeared before his lord.

Zhi Yue shouted, [My Lord! Warden Yun Ming found prisoners Ye Yan and Hei Suya, but on the same night they were attacked by a man covered in all black cloth. This man can control the darkness from the abyss and use it to attack Warden Yun and Zhi Yang! Their lives are in danger!]

Wang Xiajie, who was enjoying a cup of tea while leaning on the rocking chair, stood up. He grabbed Zhi Yue, who had returned to his avatar, and said, ”Teleport to their location immediately. Also send a message to Wuye not to get worried as we are on our way.”

[Yes, Milord!] said Zhi Yue.

Zhi Yue controlled the space elements under his command and directly used teleportation to arrive in the capital in an instant. But it still took a while for them to arrive; Yun Ming and Zhi Yang had already been taken back to the Imperial Palace. The commotion caused by the battle between Yun Ming and that black-clothed man caused a huge commotion in the capital.

Official Xu Mingʼs mansions were half destroyed, and the human emperor saw the black shadows spreading in the body of Yun Ming. A frown appeared on his face, seeing this familiar darkness that he knew too well.

The danger in Yun Ming was seen by the human emperor, who decided to bring him over to his palace. He saw a strangely glowing small sun with a bit of blackening at some point, and the human emperor unconsciously grabbed it.

It seems he can see Zhi Yang in his avatarʼs form, and adding the fact that he emits that same aura that he felt from the eyes of Xu Ming that day, he realized that maybe this weird sun is involved with this warden as well.

He had only taken his leave with the unconscious Yun Ming and that blackening small sun when Zhi Yue and the God of Void appeared at the ruined state of Official Xu Mingʼs mansion. But the two who were supposed to be there are gone.

Zhi Yue exclaimed, [Gone!? Thatʼs not possible!]

The God of Void detected the traces of Yun Ming and Zhi Yangʼs aura and noticed that they were inside that huge carriage, which is plated with gold.

”They are in that carriage. Follow... and check who took them away,” said the God of Void as he chose to hide his face behind a black half mask and intentionally change his clothes. In this appearance, no one would notice that he is Wang Xiajie of this world, even if he met the current human emperor.
