I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1458 20.22 First Black Star - Mansion

Ever since Wang Xiajie exposed his scarred face in public, rumors about him have spread all over Xiejing province. So, no one in the Xiejing Province, though he is the man described in the post. After all, Wang Xiajie being a refugee saved by an old couple in Anjia village is also a well-known story, especially his life story of how he had lost his memories and recently regained them.

Stay connected through empire

Even so, because he is an orphan, Wang Xiajie choose to continue living in Anjia Village and is now constructing a mansion of his own.

It was said that the old coupleʼs house that saved him will also get their house rebuilt after the mansion is done. Everything will be paid for by Wang Xiajie. It was because of this that Wang Xiajie is famous in Xiejing Province. He is a bachelor with lots of money, young and an orphan. If one can ignore his ugliness, however, he will be rich for life.

Just for these facts alone, Wang Xiajie became one of the hottest bachelors in Anjia Village. A lot of her daughters wanted to marry him. All of these people were blocked by Aunt Yan instead. She knows that Wang Xiajie is already married to a ger even before he lost his memories and was found at the seaside cliff by Uncle Shun.

So, after learning that Wang Xiajie is a married man, the request for matchmaking had halted.

Days passed and even a month had gone by. Finally, in the third month from the day the three gods had descended on this world, the only ancient mansion in Anjia Village was built. To call it a mansion compared to the ones in the mainland, Wang Xiajieʼs mansion is small. After all, the land available in Anjia Village is very limited.

Even after buying all the violable lands in these borderlands, their space cannot be compared to the imperial palace in the capital.

After the mansion was constructed, Zhi Yue was the first to check on it, as he had prepared the necessary furniture for each room. He couldnʼt use extravagant things that were brought over from the modern world. They need it to look ancient to fit the world they are currently in.

So most furniture were made by the carpenters in the Xiejing Province and some materials look ordinary, but those made from the upper realm were also mixed with local products. In the end, some rooms in the mansion were made to look like cultivators dwelling in them.

On the day Wang Xiajie, Uncle Shun, and Aunt Yan moved into the mansion, they were welcomed by the amazing interior of the ordinary-looking ancient mansion in Anjia Village. Zhi Yue happily toured them around the house, while Wang Xiajie immediately took over one of the single sofa chairs in the living room to have some coffee.

Zhi Yue even showed some rooms that showed interior designs similar to those of the cultivatorʼs abode. When Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan saw this room, the two of them couldnʼt help but look at one another secretly. Though they had done it discreetly, this eye contact was still seen by Zhi Yue, who pretended he didnʼt notice them.

Only when they rejoined Wang Xiajie in the living room did the old couple ask about those rooms that looked like those that a cultivator lived in.

Wang Xiajie looked at them a bit bewildered but still answered their questions. ”You are talking about the furniture in the masterʼs bedroom? Most of those were left to me by my mother before she died. I got used to having it around in the sleeping area and had Yue move those things over from the original mansion.”

”Xiao Xie, do you know what kind of background your mother has?” asked Uncle Shun.

Wang Xiajie responded, ”I actually donʼt know. My parents never told me. My father said that my motherʼs background is mysterious and that I couldnʼt ask about it. Even in the place we used to live, we only know that she came from a good family, but she had longed to be separate from them. I have never met any of my motherʼs relatives before.”

Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan looked at one another as they conversed with only their eyes, leaving the two young men with them in the room bewildered.

Confused. Zhi Yue asked, ”Whatʼs wrong?”

In the end, the old couple held back the words they wanted to say as the carpenter, who was about to work on the bamboo house next door, had finished moving the thing in it to the mansionʼs warehouse. They came over to report that they were about to start the construction next door.

”Lord Wang, Butler Yue, all things from the next door had been piled up at the warehouse as you ordered. We will now begin the construction according to the drawing you had given to us.”

”Ah~ wait, let me check if you have materials to use for today. I will have the rest bought tomorrow if necessary,” said Zhi Yue.

Aunt Yan also came out with him and said, ”I also wanted to check if there were some things forgotten inside.”

In the end, the ones left behind in the living room happen to be only Wang Xiajie and Uncle Shun. It has always been like this lately. Zhi Yue and Aunt Yan were the type who couldnʼt stay put in one place for so long. They needed to move around to feel comfortable. After the two had taken their leave, Wang Xiajie glanced at Uncle Shun.

Wang Xiajie said, ”Uncle Shun, is there something you need to tell me or ask? Both you and Aunt Yan are acting a bit weird after touring the mansion. Is there a problem with it?”

”Itʼs nothing. We will tell you in the future,” Uncle Shun responded. Such an ambiguous answer would leave others confused, unless like Wang Xiajie and Zhi Yue, who had noticed their strange reaction upon entering and touring the house.

Wang Xiajie said, ”Okay, you can say it when you are ready.”

Floating Island. Heavenly Sword Sect.

Sect Master Ceng and Diviner Sang had finally returned to their sect after leaving the imperial palace and getting what they wanted. Those who didnʼt know the story would be surprised to see Diviner Sang returning with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Most of these elders of the sect knew the real reason why these two had descended into mortal lands.

At the sectʼs main hall, all the masters of each island had gathered upon the return of the sect master and diviner sang. The latter had asked himself to be excused and went back to his personal abode within the sect. On the other hand, Sect. Master Ceng had called for the audience of all other elders to go to the main hall.

This is to inform them about what happened in the mortal lands, which are the territory of the human emperor.

The elders started asking questions.

”Shixiong (Senior Brother), what happened? Didnʼt you and Diviner Sang go to the territory of the Human Emperor for divination? Did he reject it after all?”

”That canʼt be. Does that mean Sang-shixiongʼs sacrifice is for naught?”

”How could it be? That shouldnʼt be allowed. If not for Diviner Sang agreeing to sacrifice his last lifespans for a final divination, we wouldnʼt have listened to the words of those mortals!”

”Where are the two divines? Arenʼt they supposed to have returned with you?”

”Something isnʼt right. Iʼve noticed that Diviner Sangʼs vitality seems to have gotten stronger. It doesnʼt seem like he had done any divination, but ate something good instead.”

Finally, Sect Master Cen spoke, ”He had indeed eaten something good. No, it was an extremely rare and special pill from the upper realm.”

”A Pill from the Upper Realm!?” The elder collectively exclaimed.

Such a good thing; they didnʼt know why it ended up being eaten by Diviner Sang. Some showed jealousy, and others felt rejected because they didnʼt come with the Sect Master when they descended before.

The first elder asked, ”Shixiong, did something happen? You didnʼt return with the two divine individuals. Diviner Sang seems to havenʼt taken his final divination, and for some reason Shixiong still looks satisfied even after you failed to bring back your target. What happened below?”

”Weʼve met one of the three newly descended gods. He is one of the gods that caused the golden sky phenomenon a month ago,” said the Sect Master.

”Is this real?!”

This time, everyone inside the main hall had collectively shown excitement, regret, and anticipation. What does the sect masterʼs word mean? His not bringing over the two divines from before must have a deeper reason, and it had something to do with that god that appeared on the mainland out of nowhere.

Sect Master Cen started telling them what happened in the Imperial Palace. He first told them what happened after the two were defeated by the gods of the Human Emperor and were escorted to the throne hall.

”The two defeated gods, as soon as they entered the throne hall, noticed the presence of the hidden god. Everyone, including us as well as the human emperor, actually didnʼt expect that there was a divine that was pretending to be a mortal among the ministers and officials under the human emperor. Maybe if the two defeated gods didnʼt tell us about his presence, he would have never come out at all.”

”He had actually introduced himself as a god from the upper realm, and his identity wasnʼt simple at all, as he had descended to actually capture the two defeated gods. It was said that those two were just prisoners from the upper realm, and the reason why the human emperor was able to defeat them was because most of their divinity was stripped off and they were greatly weakened.”

The Sect Master continues to retell what happened in the imperial palace to the elders of his Heavenly Sword Sect.

An elder commented, ”Itʼs no wonder that the human emperor was able to defeat them. They had been greatly weakened.”

”Thatʼs right. Maybe the human emperor isnʼt as overpowered as we thought.”

”Weʼre those two gods weakened to the point a mortal can defeat them. Maybe we would be able to do the same thing if they had visited our sect instead of going to the imperial palace.”

”Well, our place is too hidden; maybe they didnʼt notice its location at that time.”

”So, that god took away the other two gods? I donʼt understand why Shixiong is happy. Didnʼt that also mean that the supposed exchange ended in failure?” asked the first elder.

Sect Master Cen smiled and shook his head. ”The god is fair and allowed me to ask three questions about the upper realm.”

Suddenly, upon recalling what Warden Yun Ming had told them about the missing domain lord, he couldnʼt help but frown.

He said, ”Actually, the information I got is crucial for this world. He said that the Domain Lord of this world is missing and that the gate of ascension was closed because of it. Thatʼs why no one had successfully ascended all this time. This world itself was preventing his people from leaving.”

This news stunned all the elders, leaving them speechless. They would have never expected that the reason no one had ascended wasnʼt because they failed to reach the threshold for ascension, but instead because the world itself was restricting them from leaving.

”How can this be!?”

”Is this the real reason why our ancestors failed to ascend all this time?”

”Does this mean there is no one among us who will be able to ascend in the future?”

”Thatʼs not true. I was told that we can solve this predicament by finding the domain lord or... becoming the domain lord himself. It is just that to become the domain lord, one must be chosen by the world itself, and all we can do right now is find the domain lord,” said Sect Master Cen.
