I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1481 20.45 First Black Star - Supposed to be dead.

In the mansion...

In Wang Xiajieʼs bedroom, the discomfort in his heart fades the moment he is left alone in the mansion. The God of Void was feeling a bit uncomfortable at the thought that the remnant feeling the original has in his body still remains this strong.

Thinking that he wanted to clear these emotions in him so he would no longer be affected, he stopped hesitating and purified the vessel into an empty slate.

All the remnant traces of the original owner were now gone, and even his features started to change to match the soul inside the body. Feeling refreshed, the God of Void closed his eyes to sleep. He no longer feels much about the mortals connected to his identity, but he will still remain responsible for protecting them.

Meanwhile, next door at the former bamboo house of the old couple, Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan, the two middle-aged people had finally calmed down. Yun Ming and Anweiʼs words of comfort have helped them a lot.

Anwei and Yun Ming walked back to the mansion next door after seeing the old couple sleep. They will still need to bring their daughter to the mansion of Wang Xiajie the next morning to have him cure her.

On their way back, the silence between two people is almost deafening. Yun Ming and Anwei just officially met each other this morning when the former went down to introduce himself. After all, Yun Ming had been completely healed, pretending to be sick, using an illusion like how Wang Xiajie portrayed himself as a scarred face man.

Silence~

The two quiet men, one is an introvert who hid his disfigured face behind a veil, and the other is a fake official who is a god that serves the God of Destruction. They didnʼt speak to one another as soon as they left the house of the old couple. But midway, Anwei suddenly stopped his walking strides and acted as if he just remembered something.

Ah!

Anwei turns around and looks at Yun Ming with an innocent look, peeking at his translucent white veil.

”I just remembered! Isnʼt the official of Xu Clan supposed to be dead? So, who are you?” Anwei asked abruptly, taking Warden Yun Ming dumbfounded.

Though Warden Yun Ming knew from Zhi Yue that this young man called Anwei was being created as his masterʼs incarnation by the God of Void, he had never expected him to know the situation in the capital while he was in the borderlands.

Then Yun Ming thought of the possibility that the soul in this young manʼs vessel is most likely the real human emperorʼs other half soul and the ex-male empress of Wang Xiajie.

As expected, despite the disfigured face and weak body, this man, who called himself Anwei, approached him fearlessly, and a majestic demeanor only those who had sat on the throne would possess is now appearing on such a young child. On the other hand, the glint of silver in those dull gray eyes startled Yun Ming. He actually felt overpowered by this young man before him.

Only when Yun Ming noticed the traces of the purple qi this young man was emitting that he understood everything. This Anwei before him must be the real human emperor, and he must have known about the death of the body he is using.

Anwei speaks, ”Xu Ming, the youngest official from the humble Xu family. Orphaned and climbed up from the bottom, he is hardworking with average talent. Only his loyalty towards the human emperor showed his potential during court meetings. He died and said his farewells to me. How can you use his body, and who are you?” Anwei asked.

Yun Ming didnʼt know how to answer. Though he wasnʼt restricted by the heavenly laws of this world, it is almost forbidden to inform mortals about gods unless itʼs necessary. But judging by this young manʼs reaction, he doesnʼt seem to have any connections with the other half of his soul.

After all, if they had a connection, he would most likely know his identity as a God, which he had revealed on the throne hall that day.

”I... I...”

Just as Yun Ming was about to confess his identity, he and Anwei suddenly noticed two approaching auras possessing the power of qi. Anwei, who recognized the owner of these two auras, instantly grabbed Yun Ming and created a ball of purple qi, flinging it somewhere away from the mansion. Then both of them entered the mansion.

A few moments after they went inside the mansion, two ladies with familiar faces appeared where they were standing just now. These two were Gu Roulan and Shi Mengli. They instantly noticed when Anwei used his purple qi just now. He knew that these cultivators were in these borderlands for a reason. Normally, he would clean them up, but he is now greatly weakened with only half a soul in him.

Anwei whispered, ”Donʼt move. They canʼt see or hear us right now.”

Yun Ming did as he was told and watched the pair of lady cultivators looking around the area of their small village.

Shen Mengli groans in annoyance and almost shouts in anger.

”Argh! Why is it gone again!?”

”Donʼt shout! Itʼs already evening. Let me trace it again,” said Gou Roulan. She closed her eyes, trying to detect any qi in the area.

In the end, she detected two auras, one in the same presence they had been chasing for months and the other coming from the mansion not far from them, but this aura is dark and eerie, making Gou Roulan tremble as she felt that aura. She turns around and looks at the mansion, but there doesnʼt seem to be anything wrong with it.

Moreover, that eerie aura fades almost immediately before he turns around.

Seeing the serious expression of her senior sister made Shen Mengli bewildered.

”Whatʼs wrong, Senior Sister?” asked Shen Mengli in her confusion. ”Is there something wrong with this mansion? It looks like a new one though.”

Gou Roulan glanced at her weak junior sister and said, ”Nothing. I found the aura. Itʼs this way. Letʼs just chase it flying on my fan.”

Seeing that they do not need to run around made Shen Mengli delighted. She rode on her senior sisterʼs artifact before flying off to chase the aura that Anwei had thrown away from the far distance. After the two ladies disappeared from sight, Anwei no longer looked at him and turned to enter the mansion.

Yun Ming looks at his fleeting back and asks, ”Are you not going to wait for my answer anymore?”

”No need. I have some guesses. I donʼt believe you. I will find it on my own. Also... Donʼt tell Xiajie about my identity,” said Anwei.

Yun Ming didnʼt respond, yet he slightly lowered his head before this human emperor. Just now, when this manʼs eyes flashed with a silver shade, he was sure that this man is his master, Hei Anjing, incarnation in this world.

The God of Destruction had two forms. One is his human form, and the other is his god form. When he is using his human form, his eyes remain a deep shade of blue, but every time he wields his qi, his eyes turn to silver. Plus, that aura of ice elements hovering around him when he used his qi blending with the purple qi made Yun Ming realize that it was his masterʼs ability.

Between the God of Void and his masterʼs incarnation, Warden Yun Mingʼs priority is the words of the latter.

Thatʼs why he plans to listen to his command and not inform the God of Void. It would be better if the sovereign noticed it himself or his master would be disappointed again. Like in the supernatural world where his Lord pretended to be someone else after they escaped that crazy laboratory.

Meanwhile, in the south region.

The great generalʼs mood had been bad recently until this morning. He once again received another message from Zhi Yue saying that his lover was harmed by that man in black cloaked for the second time. He, who was resting while enjoying his red wine, suddenly gripped the glass in his hand with fury flashing within his violet eyes.

Not only the cultivators in this region are making hidden moves under his territory, but the Chief Warden actually wanted to personally hunt the man in black cloaked in rage.

The vice commander, who was waiting for his generalʼs decision about the cultivators on their territory, was startled by the sound of the broken glass and his general indifference to his hand injury, which heals on its own under his naked eye. He was shocked but didnʼt dare to ask about it.

General Lou Wuye asked, ”Have they killed anyone from this region yet?”

”Not yet, General. However, they planned to burn down the whole market place tomorrow evening,” reported the vice commander.

General Lou Wuye asked, ”How is the training of the soldiers? Whatʼs your cultivation stage?”

”It had been stabilized. A few of them broke through the foundation stage. My cultivation had reached the innateness stage thanks to the pills the general had provided before,” said the vice commander.

General Lou Wuye looked at him and seemed to be a bit dissatisfied with his cultivation. He passed a few years worth of cultivation to this vice commander, immediately raising his cultivation to Golden Core. He also threw his spare high-grade silver spear to the vice commander.

”If they make a move tomorrow night, kill them all. If the elder stops you, beat him up and force him to go back to where he comes from!” commanded General Lou Wuye.

”As you command, Great General!”

The vice commander, after getting heaps of rewards, happily accepted this order. After all, that elder who leads those troublesome brats was also at the Golden Core stage. He actually had no chance of winning if he fought in his current state, but with the artifact in his hand, the vice commander is confident that he can at least thrash that old thing.

At the Imperial Palace...

After that incident in his chamber, the enraged human emperor summoned all his retainers, officials, and ministers. He wanted to complain openly to these useless subordinates of his and check whether Yun Ming was the person spying that night. Unfortunately, Official Xu Mingʼs figure arrived at the throne hall without any injuries.

”Zhen was almost assassinated, and his figure was similar to Official Xuʼs figure. My beloved official Xu. I would like to check if you have injuries on you. I had badly slashed that assassinʼs back before he escaped. You donʼt mind if Zhenʼs checking on you, right?”

”Of course not, Your Majesty,” the expressionless Yun Ming responded as he undressed his upper robe.

Seeing the smooth back of Yun Ming, the human emperor sighed in relief. Just as he was about to apologize, he chose to forget about it as he hadnʼt found an emperor who would apologize to his servant. He noticed the ugly expressions of his ministers, officials, and retainers. This command of his shows he was finding faults to blame for the Official Xu Ming.

Emperor Hei Xiaojingʼs words were a bit harsh, full of blame, and he didnʼt even notice that he made a mistake at the moment. He can only make excuses, which just made his subordinates dissatisfied with him more than before. Everyone can see his incompetence at this moment, yet the person on the throne couldnʼt see through their reactions at all.

He is still gloating at the authority he possessed as the human emperor.

”You should all disperse!” said Emperor Hei Xiaojing, still flaunting his authority as the human emperor.

After everyone had left, Yun Ming, who had returned to his own mansion, was welcomed by Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue, who were having tea and waiting for him to report what happened in the Imperial Palace.

Zhi Yue said, ”Good work!”

After the report was done, the figure of Yun Ming before them just now had turned into a human-shaped talisman. In short, the Yun Ming just now is a living puppet.

Zhi Yue turned his gaze to the man in front of him and said, ”That emperor would most likely summon the puppet Warden Yun had made in the palace. What should we do next?”

”Letʼs force him to fight back and learn what his abilities are, or if there is a source of them,” said Zhi Yang. Explore more at empire
