I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1493: 20.57 First Black Star - Who cursed you?

Warden Yun Ming, as soon as he took the half-soul of Hei Xiaojing from the two systems, Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue, he was prepared to leave the capital. He was only there to take the soul and give it to the God of Void. It was already decided that this half soul must be given to the other half soul in the borderlands. As for how it would end, that will be something the God of Void has to see for himself.

He planned to head to the south as soon as he delivered the soul.

He didn’t use teleportation, as that needed not only a space element but talent to control. Like other gods, long-distance teleportation is impossible for him. He would teleport away from its target location like how the God of Void suffered from it before. He had an artifact for teleportation, but that is only useful when he is in his god form.

His human vessel might not be able to bear transport through time and space.

It would be a different story using a spell scroll. Most spell scrolls were made by someone from the Hei Clan, and they had added a blessing to each scroll, which allowed teleportation to be done without affecting the user of the scroll.

Gods are capable of teleportation even in the mortal world, but only over short distances. Moreover, too powerful qi can destroy a small star after all, and that is what Yun Ming is avoiding. Thus, he can only travel by land or sky.

It took three days for Warden Yun Ming to reach the borderlands by flying. He arrived at the mansion at night when Wang Xiajie and Anwei had just finished eating. Warden Yun Ming fell from the dark sky to the backyard of the mansion. The two who were eating dinner at the dining hall stared at him for a moment upon his arrival.

Wang Xiajie asked, ”Why are you back, Yun Ming?”

”Lord Ye, the mission of Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue had been completed. Lord Juedi had lent a hand to this mission and successfully got the other soul inside the fake human emperor,” reported Yun Ming as he fell on his one knee.

After that, he took out the other half of the soul, which Hei Xiaojing originally possessed. This soul flew towards Wang Xiajie’s hand and observed the young man who was on the opposite of the table where he sat. Hei Xiaojing was looking at him with a smile, even so he showed no urgency of wanting to take his soul back right away.

At most, he was stunned that his half soul was taken back so easily by them.

”You can leave,” said Wang Xiajie to Yun Ming, who immediately disappeared as he fulfilled his mission.

After observing the soul orb that was given to him by Warden Yun Ming, he found nothing familiar with it and lost interest. The God of Void asked the young man before him, ”Aren’t you going to ask me for the other half of your soul?”

”Hm~, if you want to give it to me, I will accept. If you don’t, that is also fine. It won’t die right away just because of an incomplete soul. Though, I might be a bit interested in those memories I had forgotten before,” said Anwei (Hei Xiaojing).

The God of Void didn’t see any urgency within the eyes of the young man in front of him. As if he wasn’t truly interested in whether his soul becomes complete or not. Seeing this, the God of Void threw the soul orb in his hand to the young man. He completely lost interest in testing this man’s temper and anything else.

Wang Xiajie said, ”Your expression looks fake. Whatever, just take it!”

Anwei (Hei Xiaojing) looked at the God of Void and said, ”Are you sure?”

”Is there something wrong?” asked Wang Xiajie.

”Are you not afraid I might be your enemy? Did you say that you were attacked by this soul when you saved him in the imperial palace?” said Hei Xiaojing.

Wang Xiajie shrugs his shoulders and says, ”The result is that I am still alive. So, what you are worrying about wouldn’t happen. I couldn’t even kill myself.”

A helpless smile appeared on his face as he remembered the immortality forcefully given to him by his wife before he descended to this world.

Seeing a smile that is different from the half-indifferent one he usually receives, Hei Xiaojing couldn’t help but mumble, ”So, you can smile like that?”

”Hm?” Wang Xiajie looked up to see Hei Xiaojing looking at him with a somewhat forceful smile.

”Is there something wrong?” asked the God of Void.

”Nothing much!”

Hei Xiaojing shook his head and gave the man before him a bright smile, which made no difference to his expressionless face and cold eyes. Even though Hei Xiaojing didn’t say anything, the months he spent with this man were the most fulfilling days of his life. He was extremely satisfied with the short-term happiness he had received.

He didn’t know if these feelings were his or from the main body; either way, it made him feel content.

”I will be able to give you the answers you wanted once I remembered anything. I had most likely met that man you wanted to find,” said Hei Xiaojing. ”Let’s just treat that as a payment for letting me live in the mansion for half a year.”

”As you wish, there is no need for any payment. But if you truly know about that man who cursed you, I will owe you a favor,” said the God of Void.

Hei Xiaojing chuckles, ”No need for a favor, as I am the one repaying your help. I hope you find the person you are looking for with the help of my words.”

He closed his eyes and pushed the other half of his soul back to his current body. His former identity is gone, and he can no longer use the name of Hei Xiaojing, as that is no longer his name. He didn’t want to use An Ziwei’s name, as that name makes him sick. The fusion of two half souls didn’t take long; after all, it’s a soul, not the original one. The God of Void watches the whole process. Enjoy more content from empire

Anwei, this is the name the former Hei Xiaojing had decided to keep. The process of soul merging isn’t painful, and it didn’t take long either. But with his former identity being completely stolen, Hei Xiaojing’s original face can no longer be his. Instead, his original features mixed with An Ziwei’s face, creating a new face from two identities.

A new life that was meant for him to continue after he lost his original.

The scars on Anwei’s healed under the golden light of his soul. His face was altered to something new yet similar at the same time. Even so, the soul didn’t completely change. The God of Void watches as the similar features of the wife he had seen from the human emperor before had distorted to something different.

Right now, Anwei completely doesn’t look like his wife; instead, a few fleeting traces remain, but this face made him a completely different person from before.

The God of Void watches the whole process of the souls merging with an indifferent face. Actually, he had unconsciously distanced himself from Anwei the moment he recognized that he wasn’t his wife’s incarnation and most likely just a clone of him in this world.

A clone and the main body are two completely different entities. It can be said that they have the same source, but the two are beings of different lives. They can never be the same person. That’s why the God of Void keeping a distance from Anwei is just a normal reaction; after all, this man can only love one person in existence. There will never be another one.

Moreover, a clone is just a copy; it can never become an original.

Once Anwei completed the merging of his soul, the innocent expression caused by missing memories from before had faded. His upturned lips turned into a straight line, as if he had become an emotionless person. Wang Xiajie wasn’t surprised by this result.

It’s like when the original Wang Xiajie, who had become an innocent fool, lost his memories and became a majestic emperor at the last moment of his life.

A frown tainted that emotionless face of Anwei and slightly looked down with one of his hands touching his chin as if he had fallen deeply in his thoughts. This is Anwei digesting the memories he had just reclaimed after his soul had merged. But as more time passed, Wang Xiajie noticed the man’s face becoming weirder with each second.

Wang Xiajie said, ”Are you going to go back on your word of giving me the answers I wanted to hear? I don’t mind. I can find it in another way. Don’t stress yourself over the promise you made with me.”

”That’s not it. Ha~ I just couldn’t believe such a brat had schemed the two of us well. Either way, you can ask your question now,” said Anwei as he slipped his right hand’s fingers through his hair.

Upon seeing this reaction, the God of Void realized that the man in front of him had most likely got all his memories back as Hei Xiaojing.

Wang Xiajie asked, ”So, what’s the identity of the man who had placed a curse on you?”

A sarcastic and cold smile appeared on Anwei’s face and said, ”You know him too well, your majesty. How could you not know when he is your only blood related cousin, Wang Yan?”

”Wang Yan?” mumbles Wang Xiajie as he tries to look through the memories of the original in this body.

Wang Yan. The only son of his imperial uncle before he had become impotent. His existence was considered illegitimate, and his imperial uncle threw him out of the capital. At least these are what the people of the royal family and the capitol know.

In reality, he had sent his son to the floating island for protection, which the royal family had learned and was punished with beheading for betraying the current emperor. It was just that this imperial uncle of his didn’t expect that his son, whom he had sacrificed his life to protect, would be intercepted on the way and taken by the evil cultivator.

Wang Yan became one of the Demon Sons of the Evil Cultivators and entered the Heavenly Sword Sect as a spy. which eventually led him to learn his real origins. He is the last bloodline of the royal family after Wang Xiajie. He hated Wang Xiajie upon learning about his father’s execution.

He hated the royal family more when he learned that his cousin emperor was killed by his male empress, who stole his throne under his nose. He separated himself from the evil cultivators and did everything to take back the throne, which he thought was originally his.

Because of Wang Yan’s obsession for the imperial throne, he crossed paths with Hei Xiaojing. This is the battle between the protagonist and the villain; at least that’s how the world plot is written. Who would have thought that in this timeline, he had still chosen to separate himself from the evil cultivators and live on his own? As for what his source of power is, no one knows.
