Chapter 607: 12.9 Unknown Star – SSS World: Vearth, Nether System (1)
Mo Yue only accompanied his other half to the Netherworld because he was worried about his missing son as reported to them by Hei Jue. Though the news about Hei Mo’s return had been reported as well, Mo Yue never cared a bit about it. But he knew that his husband, Hei Sian, was extremely ecstatic by this news.
Though his other half acted that he never cared about his father after they parted badly and chose to take his side, Mo Yue knew that his husband felt guilt for his clan. When he, the supposed heir, gave up the throne for love, what he left behind and the result of his actions was something Hei Sian would always blame himself for.
The death of his elder brother, the fall of his clan, and the indifference and disappearance of his father. All this time Hei Sian reproaches himself for these. So when he heard his old father asking for forgiveness Hei Sian couldn’t believe his ears. He only learned it was real when he saw the tears his father was shedding. This was the second time he had seen his father cry. The first time is when they lost his mother due to the scheming of those other clans who hated their family it was also the beginning of his father’s changes. The day Hei Mo wanted to gather power and becomes a greedy man for it.
Mo Yue panicked when he saw Hei Mo cry as he held his hands. He spoke softly and said, “Please don’t cry, father-in-law. I forgive you. We are family after all. Plus, I could feel Jing’er’s blessing on you. I’m sure even he had accepted your apologies.”
“Eh? Really!? Jing’er did?” said Hei Sian.
Hei Mo ignored his youngest son’s annoying reaction and replied to Mo Yue, “Thank you, A’Yue. What I promised to Jing’er, I now did. I asked him to apologize to his dad and father, I had now fulfilled my promise to him.”
“Oi, old man! You didn’t apologize to me!?” complained Hei Sian.
Hei Mo let go of Mo Yue’s hand, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said to his son, “Who cares about you? This old man only cared about your wife and my grandson!”
“Tsk! By the way, old man. Did you not know about the son of Jing’er and A’Ye?” said Hei Sian with a mischievous smirk on the corner of his lips.
Hearing that Hei Mo was stupefied in astonishment, he had never heard about Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie having a son. This is the first time he heard about it.
“Jing’er’s son? He has a son!? Let me see!” said Hei Mo as he grabbed his son’s collar.
Hei Sian tried to struggle from the old man’s grip but failed to escape. Who would have expected that this elegant-looking only man possessed such brute strength that didn’t much his outer appearance?
“I will let you see. I will ask Xiao Jing to see you. Old man, let go!” said Hei Sian as he could feel the grip on his neck collar tightening making it hard for Hei Sian to breathe.
Mo Yue who was happily watching the antics of this father and son joined in the fun and brought out his phone to share some photos of Ye Jingxia with the old man. He got photos of Xiao Jing from when he was a baby from System Yue, from when he was a toddler to his current one as an elementary student.
“Father Hei, I have photos here of Xiao Jing. I will share some with you~” said Mo Yue.
Hei Sian ignored his son when he heard Mo Yue’s words and threw his son off his mind.
“Hoho~ let me see. Let me see…” said Hei Mo.
“Old Man, that’s my grandson!?” said Hei Sian.
Hei Mo retorted, “Your grandson is my great-grandson! What can you do about it!? So happy~ not only Jing’er has a son. Jue’er also has a daughter. This old man is in bliss~”
Hei Sian and Mo Yue’s reaction upon hearing about Hei Jue’s daughter is quite helpless when they’ve heard about Hei Jue’s daughter. They knew that the child had gone missing for almost a decade.
“Old man, don’t say those words to Jue’er and A’Liang. Huahua had been missing for 8 years already,” said Hei Sian.
Hei Mo looked at his son like looking at a stupid being and snorted, “Hmp! I know. My Huahua had returned, didn’t you know? I’ve sent the family of three away to bond. Why do you think this old man is handling the Nether System? I’m retired!”
With surprised expressions on the married couple’s faces, they didn’t expect to hear the news of An Juehua’s return. They are already on their way here when Jue’er reported that Hei Mo had returned and that their son is missing. After hearing that An Juehua had also come back, the two of them were extremely happy. An Juehua is after all Hei Jue’s daughter and a family member.
Hei Mo told them what he heard about what happened to An Juehua all these years and how Xia Jieye, Ye Xiajie’s soul core fragment saved her and the other old members of the Hei Clan from the clutches of Ye Mo’s second wife. He also told them about Ye Mo and how he decided to come back here as they couldn’t find which world Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie had fallen into.
Hei Sian had an ugly expression when he heard that Ye Mo had reached the cultivation stage of Immortal God. Both he and his wife are Immortal Gods; they could most likely fight back against Ye Mo. They are just worried that Ye Mo had more hidden power he hasn’t revealed. Plus, Ye Xiajie hasn’t completely awakened yet. Only when his soul had merged completely that they would be able to breathe out in relief.
Hei Sian said, “That bastard really reached the Immortal Stage!? Thankfully, Jing’er gave you a blessing. Old man you were prepared to die aren’t you!?”
“Yes, I didn’t even feel when and how Jing’er gave me a blessing at his state. His cultivation had degraded from the Immortal stage to High God down to a just God state. I heard the details from his aide, Yun Ming, but I can’t believe that that was just his soul fragment. I just could understand this Trial of Revival that well.” said Hei Mo.
Mo Yue spoke, “We also do not know much about this Trial Father Hei. But we knew that this is already their second trial. For the final trial, I heard from Baobei (Mo Baojun’s nickname) that it would be the other half who would undergo it.”
“But I heard that Jing’er still needs to die before the second trial is considered completed. This trial is insane. Even Brother Siwang ended up doing the same thing before. Thankfully, it is not true death. This is why no matter what we do we can’t heal Jing’er’s wounded soul! Isn’t it insane, old man?” said Hei Sian.
Hei Mo somewhat understood the reason why the Trial includes death. This must be a preparation for complete rebirth for both couples. The first trial is reincarnation while the second is rebirth then the last trial must be the resurrection. 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚝
“No wonder Ye Mo wanted to kill Ye Xiajie during the second trial. As long as he killed one of his soul fragments the Second trial would be considered a failure and Ye Xiajie wouldn’t be reborn,” said Hei Mo.
Mo Yue said, “Yes, Ye Mo and the Ye Gui race’s existence in the trial itself is considered as a challenge for the couple to fulfill which is why even though we know about An Liang’s betrayal, we choose to turn a blind eye to it.”
“That brat… he feels guilty and desperate. We ourselves didn’t expect he would betray Ye Xiajie like that and it was because of his daughter. No wonder… Someone as loyal as him did such a thing.” said Hei Sian.
Mo Yue spoke, “But Jing’er already knew but he didn’t stop An Liang from doing so. Instead, he did his best to keep Ye Xiajie alive even in exchange for his own life.”
At this moment, he lost his smile thinking of all the sacrifices his son had made for his other half. He could only show unhappiness but couldn’t retaliate. Because he knew that as a Mo, their other half is synonymous with being their life itself.
Hei Mo, even though short, had seen the honest feeling and affection between Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie. When he heard from his daughter-in-law that the death of Hei Anjing is required for the completion of the trial he couldn’t help but think about Ye Xiajie’s personality. He had a feeling that he couldn’t do such a thing
“I have seen how Ye Xiajie treats Jing’er. I do not think he would be willing or could kill Jing’er even for the sake of the trial,” said Hei Mo.
Hei Sian said, “You’ve also noticed that, father. I also thought of the same thing. That brat… I do not think he would be able to kill Jing’er just because the trial deemed him to do so.”
“Would it be deemed a failure if he did do so?” asked Hei Sian to Mo Yue.
When he saw his daughter-in-law nod his head, Hei Mo couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh at the same time as Hei Sian. These reactions are similar. These two are indeed father and son. But Mo Yue knew about his son’s personality, even if Ye Xiajie doesn’t do it, that child would do something about it.
Mo Yue commented, “It should be fine. Even Ye Xiajie didn’t wish to do it. Jing’er must have plans about it already. There is no way a Mo wouldn’t do everything for their other half.”
Hei Sian nods his head in agreement. As Mo Yue’s other half, he knew how important his existence was for Mo Yue. He is not only Mo Yue’s husband and love. He is his life himself.
Hei Mo decided to change the topic and said, “Okay. Enough of that. Sian, you help me look for Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie. I’ve opened the portal to the Nether System but the coordinates were distorted when Ye Mo appeared. Now they’ve fallen into an unknown world.”
“Ye Mo that bastard! Why the hell does he hate the Mo Family? I don’t think it was only because that’s how he is created. But something else, right?” said Hei Sian.
Mo Yue said, “Maybe he is envious or… I do not know if these rumors are true. I heard that Ye Mo seems to have fallen at first sight with my younger brother, Mo Baojun but because he came from the race that was created to hate the Mo Family his secret love becomes deep hate instead. It was because of this that he hates the Mo and his creator, Xia Jieye.”
“Seriously? He should give up,” said Hei Sian.
Mo Yue spoke, “Indeed. He should give up. Once a Mo chose their other half the others no longer had any chance. After all, we can only love once.”
These three work together to look for the possible traces that might have been left behind by Hei Anjing or Ye Xiajie before they got transferred. With Mo Yue in the group, they’ve also tried tracing Hei Anjing’s soul presence instead using Mo Yue’s soul as a preference.
It took a while before they found slim traces similar to Mo Yue’s soul presence. Once they find one, they send someone to check and finally resume connection with System Yue and System Yang. The two systems reported what happened after they had fallen into that world.
As expected Ye Xiajie with no compatibility with space elements was hit quite badly and lost consciousness on the way. He hasn’t woken up yet and had to take over someone’s body and keep Ye Xiajie’s soul in there to nurture until he woke up. Hei Anjing is a little better, he woke up for a bit when they entered the world and chose an identity that had a connection to the body his husband had taken over.
But his soul is too weak and was injured during the force transfer when they entered that world. He also couldn’t keep himself awake for a long time but he passed a few of his feelings and fragmented memories to the vessel he is using. This is to prevent himself from harming the vessel his husband uses while he is in slumber.
In this world, both the main souls of Ye Xiajie and Hei Anjing are asleep. They both don’t have full memories of each other and only their feelings were left behind. They had to live in that world as strangers to each other.
