1143 17.70 Fourth Violet Star - Tun s.h.i.+ Zhe

Xue Hunluan and Xia Jieye are the same person. He is the soul core of the guy known as Snow. After Snow murdered himself in the Void and broke his soul, his soul core also departed the Void to be resurrected in another universe. That is how Xue Hunluan was born; unlike Xia Jieye, Xue Hunluan was born with all three of his combine's lives. Xia Jieye's The Life of Snow, who was left behind in Void. Hei Anjing, the Main Soul, whose memories are linked to all soul pieces, and finally, their beginning life as Hunluan, the G.o.d of Chaos.

This is also why Xue Hunluan has such a strong dislike for the G.o.d of Void. He took on all of Snow's harsh and melancholy feelings from the Abyss. The Sacrificial Death of the Main Soul, Hei Anjing, at the Second Trial's Final Stage. In addition to the first death as the G.o.d of Chaos. His heart is filled with noises that can't be healed. So, despite the fact that he feels the obvious love of the Main Soul for Ye Xiajie, his history has made him detest instead.

That is why, even if the G.o.d of Void's words sound extraordinarily honest for someone who has been wronged by him, Xue Hunluan cannot trust them. Because, even if they are true, these statements seem false to him.

When Xue Hunluan heard Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian's comments, the cheeky smile on his face evaporated. His heterochromic eyes glowed with hatred and loathing, as if he were looking at something filthy. In his eyes, he was smelly. That is how much he despises the G.o.d of the Void.

With a sarcastic expression on his beautiful face, Xue Hunluan says, "Don't you hear how ridiculous your words are? I don't need your life. What I want is your death! But because of the Trial of Marriage you had completed with Jing'er you will not die for real unless we all died as well. So I just want you to die in each world and fail to collect our Soul Fragments."

With each phrase, Xie Hunluan's voice becomes colder. His loathing for the G.o.d of Void becomes clearer as he talks. Unless both of them perished at the same moment after the Trial of Marriage, neither of them would die. This is because the Mo Family possessed Immortality.

The Marriage Trial is a ceremony that not only binds the couple with deep love. Their emotions, ideas, life, abilities, and eternity were all connected together. Some G.o.ds who are accustomed to being unbound are hesitant to consummate such an everlasting partners.h.i.+p. This Marriage Trial is like a chain that links one to another. Only those who truly love are willing to endure such a test.

The Trial of Marriage, on the other hand, is something to safeguard people born in the Mo Family, who can only love one person in their lives. As long as this trial is accomplished with them, their vulnerability to only be wounded or killed by their chosen partners will vanish. Only those who genuinely love a Mo would choose to go through a trial that would allow them to forfeit their capacity to hurt their beloved. That's why Sovereign Shen Siw.a.n.g and Sovereign Mo Baojun both wanted to finish the trial themselves. They want to be like Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie, whose lives are intertwined.

Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian responded, "Please don't hurt yourself anymore. Not completing your soul fragments will just make you weaker and suffer pain."

"Pain? Didn't you already give me such a thing when you were left alone in the Void and took your place in that crazy prison!? That place is so cold, so lonely and you were my only light."

"The one promise you told me that you would definitely return was my sole purpose of living."

"Each day, the Void would enter my body and my soul slowly corrupting it. Do you want to know how it feels to slowly go crazy in that place?"

"First, you would feel your body burning. It wasn't the same feeling as being burned in the fire but instead due to the immense coldness, you will feel your skin burning. You will feel each of your bones becoming brittle, and a small force on it would break it down. If not for my compatibility with ice elements, my vessel would have long rotted in that place."

"As for the process of corrupting one's soul, it wasn't too much. Every day I would just feel that my soul is being ripped apart, being cut into multiple thousands of pieces but I'm an Ancient G.o.d, I can't die simply like other G.o.ds who fell in the abyss."

"Seeing that I cannot be killed, the void tried to take possession of me. It wanted to control me, like all other creatures living in that place. Those things in there are all your slaves, right? They might be your subordinates but in reality, you made them as something who would only listen to your commands. They are just toys the Abyss made for you."

"It took me a thousand years to gain control over it, but as expected even gaining control wouldn't allow me to leave that place. Regardless of the pain and torture, I waited for you to come back. Only for the G.o.d of End to appear before me saying that you have completely forgotten who I am."

"Aren't I stupid? Why did I have to wait for a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who couldn't even keep his promise? I must be a fool at that time. Either way, the pain caused by your domain cannot be compared to death. Dying at that time was the most relaxing decision I made. At least, I got my rest before my reincarnation."

Xue Hunluan's remarks struck the G.o.d of Void dumbfounded. He wanted to apologize, but words were insufficient. He sought to demonstrate it with deeds, but the individual did not want to accept it. He'd witnessed a couple of images from his past that he'd always hoped would never happen. Unfortunately, no matter what he accomplishes today, the past cannot be erased.

There is friction between Xue Hunluan and the Grand Marshal in the area they are in.

A soft yet full of sadness and remorse voice comes out of the Grand Marshal's mouth murmuring, "Sorry."

After hearing those horrors, Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian can only manage a single word. For the first time, his face grew pale, and his blue eyes turned scarlet as he struggled to contain the raging emotions in his heart. He felt like a sc.u.mbag despite the fact that everything was the fault of the G.o.d of End, who interfered with the life of his creation and destroyed everything in the two's lives.

This single-word apology only fueled Xue Hunluan's rage. He spun around and yelled at the G.o.d of Void, his eyes bloodshot from his inability to control his fury and loathing.

"What's the point of you saying sorry!? It's too late! Regardless of how many times you apologize, what happened already happened!"

Xue Hunluan yelled at the Grand Marshal, who couldn't look him in the eyes because of sorrow and shame. He let the man in front of him criticize and yell at him as many times as he wished. He simply owes him too much and has no idea how to repay him.

Warden Lou, who was protecting a s.p.a.cecraft nearby, observed everything that was happening in front of their eyes. Whether it was the golden chains that appeared out of nowhere, his bizarre love-hate connection with the guy known as Chaos, or even the mysterious narrative between the two. They could hear everything.

But the only people who could relate to everything the two had been talking about were the two wardens and System Yue, who had been with this couple since the beginning and knew all of their hards.h.i.+ps, experiences, and history. Their love is tragic, full of obsession and sacrifice, but they believe that the love between the two people is true because neither of them is willing to give up the other, which they continue to struggle with until the end.

Dean Frey von Gregory said, "No wonder I feel that I know this person. The only person aside from me who knew the pa.s.sive skills of Yizhi (Red String) is Lord Hei, who helped me refine this soul weapon."

"That's why you reacted that weirdly that time. Because you know that aside from you, only Lord Hei should know about your soul weapon's skill. You were already guessing that Chaos might be somehow connected to Lord Hei because of this." Warden Lou said.

Dean Frey von Gregory nods his head, "Um. I just didn't expect that my gut feeling this time was indeed the truth. This Chaos must be like Lord Xia Jieye. He must be Lord Hei's Soul Core, that's why he can go from one world to another world. Based on their conversation the two must have met once in the last world. Fate is truly a strange thing."

While paying attention to their lords from a distance they suddenly noticed the s.p.a.ce near the couple had some distortion.

System Yue shouted, [My Lord! Watch out!]

A blood-soaked hand rushed out of the s.p.a.ce rift, slicing into Xue Hunluan's heart and killing him instantaneously. The target himself didn't give it much thought because he was born with immortality. He wouldn't run even if his heart was wounded, therefore he didn't. But he had forgotten about the Grand Marshal, who held Ye Xiajie's soul. Whether he was in agony or not, whether he was dying or not, this guy always prioritized him, even if he was weak at the time. The G.o.d of Void, who had pledged never to cause his wife anguish again, made his move.

Unknown strength a.s.sisted the Grand Marshal in breaking the Divine cords that bound him. Perhaps because his punishment had already taken effect, the chain was no longer required, and he could simply dismantle it this time. The G.o.d of Void took Xue Hunluan's arm, drew him to his side, and swapped places with him. The hand that stretched out from the s.p.a.ce fissure dug the Grand Marshal's heart from behind, startling everyone in the area.

Xue Hunluan was taken aback when he observed the Grand Marshal's still beating heart on the palm that pa.s.sed through his body from behind, leaving him speechless.

Cough.

Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian coughed excessively and accidentally sprayed some blood over Xue Hunluan's pretty face. He ignores the hand in his body and extends out a quivering hand to a.s.sist Xue Hunluan in wiping the blood. However, the latter automatically avoids his contact, making him even more miserable. But he didn't mind the man's rejection; after all, the reason for this person's hostility was his fault.

"S-Sorry... Blood... Y-Your face... COUGH!"

Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian tried his hand to prevent the mouthful of blood gus.h.i.+ng out of his hand this time, but it still trickled out between the s.p.a.ces between his fingers. Before the rest can react, the Grand Marshal's blood-soaked hand is yanked out, and the Crown Prince emerges from the s.p.a.ce distortion, devouring the Grand Marshal's heart.

Chews~

Cain Nova von Imperlian commented after eating the heart of the Grand Marshal, "This one... is very delicious."

n.o.body antic.i.p.ated seeing this individual in this location at this time.

n.o.body antic.i.p.ated him to kill the Grand Marshal in front of everyone.

And no one expected the Grand Marshal to defend the one who desired him dead more than anybody else.

Seeing the bleeding hole on the G.o.d of Void's chest as he held out his hand to grab his falling body, Xue Hunluan forgot his wrath. He watches as the man's scarlet spirit dulls and the body in his grip becomes cold. He detected the familiar feeling of consuming aura flowing from the humanoid monster before his face as he peered at the perpetrator who caused the death of the G.o.d of Void.
