Chapter 1162: 18.0 Vearth - Back to Nether System
After leaving the universe where the last world is, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie together with their two subordinates, Warden Lou and Warden Yun stood at the black galaxies surrounded by countless stars and universes. They’ve stripped of their former bodies and float within the wide outer.space in their real God Form.
Hei Anjing is in his God Form, his long light brown hair is currently braided behind him tied up with black snowflakes. He is wearing his usual ancient pure white robes at the edges of the same design as his hair tie, black snowflakes. Standing beside him is a seductive mam wearing a pure black robe with white flame patterns at the edge and his long black hair was naturally messy behind him.
His robe was slightly opened revealing his firm chest and muscles lines. He was currently holding the waist of the beautiful God of Destruction.
Not far from them are two men wearing black uniformed armor. The uniform for wardens who work on fields. One man who looks like a loyal dog who tries to like he is expressionless and beside him is a gentle looking scholar with strict features. These two are Lou Wuye and Yun Ming. Hovering around their group is a small moon and small sun. They are System Yue and System Yang.
Hei Anjing said, “The rejection of that world for outsiders is too strong. To think I was only able to stay there for two years.”
“Don’t be sad, Jing’er. They would be alright.” Ye Xiajie was talking about the Chrysalis Clan they had left behind.
Hei Anjing shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Let’s go back to Vearth. I can’t stay too long in this form. My soul is still very weak I cannot exist as a soul for too long.”
“Don’t worry. I will protect you.” Ye Xiajie as he covered Hei Anjing’s soul with his qi protecting him from another spacw transfer which would bring over to Vearth.
Their returned in Vearth took awhile as Ye Xiajie wasn’t that proficient when using the Space Element abilities his wife possesses. His compatibility with Space and Ice Elements was the worse. They even gotten lost a few times before they finally found the exact coordinates of the world, Vearth.

In Vearth,
Nether System’s Core Area…
As soon as they returned to Vearth, the group heads back to the Core Area of the Nether System where Hei Anjing’s real vessel is sleeping. In there, An Liang and the children of the two were waiting. They immediately recognized the soul protected by the God of Void.
An Liang was startled by their arrival, “A’Ye, you’re back. Hm? Xiao Jing!? Wow, you can already wake up your soul.”
“DAD! (BABA!)”
The four children of the couple all run towards Hei Anjing and give him a hug. Thanks to the qi and domain of his beloved, Hei Anjing’s soul can be materialized for a short period of time. He was delighted to see his children coming to him for a hug. The appearance of Ye Qinjing was something Hei Anjing already knew.
After all, even though his vessel is in slumber his soul can still perceive what is happening around him especially when his soul woke up from time to time.
Hei Anjing said, “I miss you so much my babies~”
“Queen Mother?” Ye Qinjing reluctantly calls. He didn’t know is his Queen Mother still recognize him. After all, they had been separated for a very long time.
Hearing the low voice of his eldest son calling him, Hei Anjing meet Ye Qinjing’s eyes. The same doting gaze within those silver irises made the God of Time recall those times his Queen Mother would accompany him during his meals and before going to bed.
Hei Anjing opened his arms and said, “My Xiao Qin had grown up big. Give Dad a hug.”
Ye Qinjing immediately hugged his dad. His arms were wraoped around his Queen Mother’s slender figure while his tears continuously fell. He is both delighted yet helpless. He couldn’t even help cure his Queen Mother after becoming a god and reuniting with his parents.
The God of Time mumbles, “Xiao Qin is useless. I can’t even help Emperor Father to cure and wake up Queen Mother.”
“No. Xiao Qin did his best. You helped Dad merge with his soul fragment (Cassius Ambrosia’s Soul) before.” Hei Anjing said.
Hei Anjing and the children spend more time talking with one another. Ye Xiajie joined them and spend a rare family time with his wife. Seeing such a rare scene where his friend is smiling and spending time with his family, An Liang felt redundant and left them to give them privacy. Ever since his Jing’er had fallen in a slumber, spending time like this had become rare.
Now that he is awake, even if only temporarily, Ye Xiajie and the children loves to be with Hei Anjing until he fell asleep. This family time lasted for 3 hours before Hei Anjing could no longer hold back his sleepiness making his soul return to his slumbering vessel.
Before Hei Anjing returned to his vessel, he told his children to go home and take a rest. It’s already evening when he and the group arrived in Vearth. After sending his children to sleep, Hei Anjing told somethinh to his husband.
Hei Anjing said, “My love, you went to two high-ranked worlds. For the next world, choose something from the Low-ranked once to rest. You’ve worked hard.” He gives his husband a kissed on his forehead and cheek before smiling gently at him.
Ye Xiajie pulled him into a tight hug as they shared a long lasting kiss together. Once their lips parted both were slightly panting for a bit lacking of air but their eyes only have each other as always.
“Okay. I will listen to Jing’er.” The God of Void said with a rare smile at the corner of his lips.
Hei Anjing whispered, “Always be careful. Once you collected enough of my soul fragments I should be able to wake up early in the next worlds.” He faded to transparency as his soul merged with his slumbering vessel not far away.
The God of Void watched his his beloved once again take his sleep and held his wife’s hand tightly as is this the only way to give him his warmth.
“I will wait for you. Wait for me to find you, Baby,” whispered Ye Xiajie as he watched his wife’s vessel resting under the mature world tree at the center of the Nether System. He spend a few hours staring at his sleeping wife before coming out to meet others.

At the throne room…
An Liang was waiting at the throne room for his friend to come out of the core area. After asking his wife, Hei Jue, to send the children back home, he waited for his friend in this room. As expected, a few gours after the children were brought home.his friend finally come out. The smile he shows to his Jing’er was once again nowhere to be seen.
His handsome face was now emitting indifference and emotionless.
“You finally come out. I’ve asked Jue’er to send your children home and report to the family that you are back to Vearth.” An Liang said as if reporting everything to this Lord God as always.
Ye Xiajie responded, “Good work. Thank you as always.”
“I’m your adjutant. It’s right for me to do such a thing. Though I know what I did before cannot be forgiven I…”
An Liang was talking about how he spread the information about Ye Xiajie’s situation to the kidnappers of his daughter, An Juehua, in the past. He truly regret doing such betrayal towards his only friend but with his daughter’s life at risk, he can only make such a choice.
Ye Xiajie and the Mo Clan as well as the Hei Clan had forgiven him for this. But Hei Anjing despite not mentioning anything to him made An Liang realized that the trust the God of Destruction had given him before is no longer the same as in the past. After all, he caused countless of death for his friend which was blocked by Hei Anjing. Those situations were extremely dangerous for the couple.
So even though Ye Xiajie forgives him the destroyed trust of Hei Anjing would never be the same.
That’s why An Liang wasn’t allowed ro enter the Core Area of the Nether System alone. He needs to be accompanied by some whenever he goes inside that place. This the fruit of his past actions which he will regret in his whole life. He can only repay the couple by supportinh them unconditionally this time and in the future.
Ye Xiajie said, “It’s in the past. You can forget about it. Moreover, Xiao Hua’s life was at risk. Jing’er is just throwing tantrums he would forget about it after a few hundreds of year or more.”
“I actually wanted to know more about the situation in the Nether Prison. The recent jailbreak doesn’t seems to be the first time. There must be a few cases where prisoners had escaped from here. Investigate it thoroughly. It’s inevitable that we might bump on those hidden escapees in the lower realm.”
“What’s wrong? Did you meet an escaped prisoner? Why didn’t you dragged him back to hell?” An Liang asked.
The God of Void languidly walked tiwards his throne and sat down. “He gained enough merit when he took care of Jing’er’s incarnation in the last world. I gave him a special pardon. Go and change the records. This is his soul contract.”
A black scroll flew towards An Liang which he checked on the spot. After seeing the reason for the special pardon and the information of the former prisoners An Liang chose to have it properly recorded. This is one of his future minions after all.
An Liang said, “Leave this to me. Is there something else?”
“The World Eater had been reborn.” Ye Xiajie said.
This news stunned An Liang who didn’t expect this to hear such a thing. The scroll in his hand even fell on the ground while he is in his state of shock.
An Liang exclaims, “The World Eater is reborn! Is this real?”
“I am sure. His influence before when the Ye Gui Race still exist is too weak. He can onky influence some target but this time he gave bestowed his power to devour in one of the aborigines of the last world. I killed it’s believer to ease further harm. Sinc ehe can get involve in the lower world then he would definitely appear in the future world I would be in.
That thing seems too interested to me and it wanted to kill the incarnations of Jing’er,” Ye Xiajie explained.
An Liang was a bit confused why would the world eater who is considered a menace ever since the ancient times to be interested of the Ye Xiajie and had hatred towards Hei Anjing enough to want to kill him. The God of Void noticed his friend’s confusion and shared him his thoughts.
Ye Xiajie said, “Legends said that the World Eater Race was born from the Void. As the God of Void, I might be a delicious source of energy for him. As for why it wanted to kill his Jing’er, obviously, it’s because of his wife’s other identity. The incarnation of Chaos God.”
“Is it because the former God of Chaos sacrificed himself to exterminate the World Eater Race in the past?” An Liang mumbled. He immediately shut up when he saw his friend glaring at him. He knew that the word sacrifice is a taboo for his friend. After all, Hei Anjing had sacrificed his whole life just to revive Ye Xiajie.
“I’m sorry. I said something wrong. Aren’t you going home?”
“My wife is here. Wherever Jing’er is my home. I will accompany him for a while before I resume my journey. While I’m here I want all the records of those prisoners who had escaped whether it was recent or old news.” Ye Xiajie said while pinching the space between his eyebrows.
An Liang wanted to say more to ask his friend to take a rest but such a thing would be impossible as this man doesn’t listen to anyone. If Sovereign Shen Siwang is here there is a possibility to listen but this man only listens to his wife’s words.
“Okay. I will arrange everything.” Only then did An Liang take his leave. Warden Lou and Warden Yun who were on standby hey the shadows appeared before the Lord God.
Ye Xiajie said, “You guys have returned. Thanks for guarding my children safely home. I will summon you once it’s time to leave. For now, you two can take rest until you were called.”
“Yes, Milord!” The two warden also disappeared from the throne room when Ye Xiajie stood up intending to return to the Core Area where Hei Anjing is. Whenever he returned to Vearth after each world, he would accompany his wife in this place until he leave again for another journey.
