I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1520 20.84 First Black Star - End of An Ziweiʼs Farce.

The people of the Profound Sect witnessed the downfall of all the other Sect Masters and their disciples after the darkness had fallen into the world. Witnessing how each and every one of them goes insane as something on their skin turns black. Once their whole body turns black, including their pupils, their irises change to the shade of crimson.

Watching the whole transformation of ordinary people into monsters that live in the darkness terrified the people from the Profound Sect, especially seeing hundreds of these monsters banging on the barrier that protects the sect. They feared that the barrier would break and all of them would die under the claws of these strange monsters that used to be humans.

The other clan members of the Profound Sect couldnʼt help but scream at the horrifying scene before their eyes. Inhuman crimson irises, madness that is devoid of rationality, and finally, darkness that spreads beyond the horizon they can see. Some even thought directly that this is the end of the world.

The elders and disciples of the Profound Sect seek the strongest in their group. In such a situation, once they couldnʼt help but seek answers to the one that could lead them to this disaster, and they all looked at the old sect master, whose expression was as serious as the scene of hell in front of his eyes.

He had observed that the barrier their ancestors left to them had become the last line of defense that protected their lives and couldnʼt help but thank him for it.

The old sect master spoke, ”Gather all disciples and elders. Tally the people, note the missing ones, and also try to contact the holy son.”

”Yes, Sect Master!”

”Sect master, are we going to leave the barrier?” a sect elder asked.

The old sect master shook his head and said, ”Not for now. Donʼt send any disciple outside the barrier. There is something out there that transforms people into monsters. Until we find out what it is, itʼs better not to come out. Also try to send out transmission outside to check if there are other survivors like us.”

”Shixiong, what are we going to do if there are only us left in this world?” another elder with a closer relationship to the old sect master asked.

The old sect master said, ”I donʼt believe we are the only ones alive. There are at least three Divine Ones beyond this barrier. Do you think they are dead? At the very least, I believe that the south and the borderlands must have survived.”

Thinking about the two Divine Ones from the south and the borderlands, as well as their Holy Son beside the divinity, those elders who thought of a wild guess that they might be the only ones alive finally spark hope within their eyes. Now they truly believe that they werenʼt the only ones alive in this damned world.

The old sect master issued additional commands like focusing on farming food or making sure that the stock for material of Bigu Pill remains alive and ongoing. To keep them alive without going out the barrier, they need to learn to survive in such a small place that can keep them safe.

”I am going to the core of the formation to check our defense. You guys focus on keeping everyone alive,” said the old sect master of the Profound sect.

”Yes, Sect Master!”

The elders and disciples collectively responded as they watched the old man walk towards the core of the sect, where the power of the barrier originates.

At the underground temple of the main peak of the Profound Sect, a serene and white temple can be found. There is an altar with an ice coffin inside the temple, and on the altar, a young man with white hair wearing pure white robes was lying down inside the ice coffin with his eyes closed.

If anyone from the God of Voidʼs side saw this person, they would be shocked to their core. This man looks exactly like the God of Destruction, Hei Anjing himself. A perfect copy, especially the black snowflake imprint under his left eye.

The old sect master of the Profound Sect approaches the altar where the man in white robe is. No one knows whether this person is alive or not. As soon as the old man was near the ice coffin, he kneeled down and kowtowed while saying the following words:

”Please continue to protect us, Ancestors.”

On the other hand, the whole capitol had fallen into chaos, and unexpectedly only the Imperial Palace remained untouched by the shadows that engulfed the world. If one could remember, the God of Void had placed a formation that blocks and isolates the darkness elements the last time he came to the capital. This formation was the only thing that kept the imperial palace from existing.

The officials, ministers, and nobles who had luckily survived had gathered in the throne hall, and they didnʼt forget to drag the human emperor, who is now weaker than they are. Actually, it was because they noticed that the black aura avoided him that the other survivors kept him alive.

Someone in the crowd commented, seeing that the current human emperor is unharmed after staying in that dark world beyond the formation that protects the palace.

”He truly is alive. But how is that possible?”

”Is there nothing on him? An artifact of something else?”

”Iʼve checked and even undressed him. There is nothing on him at all,” said one of the young officials who had seen the current human emperorʼs naked body covered in marks that show how much he indulges in lust and was disgusted by it.

They wanted to use him to find a breakthrough on how to solve the darkness that corrodes oneʼs body and be able to walk in that darkness untainted by the miasma it possessed. After all, they had seen how many people turned into monsters under this darkness. As long as there is hope for survival, they will keep holding on to it until the end.

An Ziwei didnʼt expect to be treated this way after gaining the identity of his cousin. Though he no longer remembers who this cousin is, he knows that he is definitely not the real human emperor. Itʼs just that his memories are jumbled, and sometimes he will think he is the real emperor. This is actually the effect of the life-exchanged curse.

It wouldnʼt have affected him much if even a half of Hei Xiaojingʼs soul still existed, as he would have been an anchor to the original person.

But because that half soul of Hei Xiaojing was removed from his body, the curse of life exchanged had taken effect. He had become a being that is only half of himself and half of the person that no longer existed. That makes him no different from a madman.

As for puppet Wang Xiajie, the officials and ministers had long known that he was fake, as Official Xu Ming informed them about his identity before he appeared in the palace that day. This is why they knew that the real former human emperor was still alive. If not, how can Official Xu Ming find someone who looks exactly like Wang Xiajie?

An Ziwei shouted while being chained, ”Unchain me, you damn fools! I am your emperor! How could you treat Zhen like this!”

”Did you truly believe you are the emperor!? Not even a drop of royal blood flows in your veins!”

”How can a mere Ger from the previous emperor sit on the throne without our support!?”

”You even lost your abilities as a human emperor! As expected to be fake!”

”You damn fools! How dare you treat me this way!? When that lord comes to save me, I will end you all!” shouted An Ziwei, who was being chained up like a prisoner.

At first, the people in the palace were dumbfounded hearing An Ziwei say that a person would come save him. It seems like Official Xu Ming had said that this man is definitely not the real former male empress that they know, but someone else sinister enough to take someoneʼs life. It was only at this moment that they realized that they were being played all along by this fake.

Finally, at this moment, Puppet Wang Xiajie had finally told everyone in the hall about the identity of the man who was using the face of the human emperor, Hei Xiaojing. After knowing that his creator had left him behind, he realized that he had done something he shouldnʼt have, which made his creator abandon him.

But as a living puppet, unless he was burned down, he would not die, and the memories that were placed in him were so real that he had forgotten that he was only a mere puppet.

Thinking that there is no need to keep the farce going on, he told them what happened that one night before the curse of life exchange was completed.

The puppet said, ”This man is not the real Hei Xiaojing. The real had died the moment the life-exchange curse he placed on him had fully activated. This is why no one of you realized that he is a fake, as his current identity right now is Hei Xiaojing, whom he had replaced.”

”Those lords said that this human is originally called An Ziwei. The cousin of the former male empress Hei Xiaojing whom no one remembers. Even though you donʼt remember, Iʼm sure you noticed the disappearance of Official Xu Ming. He left the capital because there is no longer any reason for him to stay here. His only reason to remain in this palace was because of the original Hei Xiaojing.

With him gone, he took his leave.”

”There is no reason for abandonment. In reality, as a Divine One, Official Xu Ming never cared about this capital nor the royal family. They only cared about the soul of Hei Xiaojing inside of him, which had been taken away by them.”

”After replacing the last royal blood, have you gotten the peace you wanted? You did, right? Unfortunately, it was short lived.”

Seeing a man who looks exactly like the previous emperor say these words made all officials, ministers, and nobles feel embarrassed. They had replaced Wang Xiajie, saying that it was for the good of the capital, but in the end, they just solidified the destruction of their land.

Puppet Wang Xiajie left the hall and walked towards the black world. He was ripped apart by the monsters in the darkness, but he never cared; he had done what he wanted to do in the end.
