Chapter 598: 12.0 Prologue - In the System s.p.a.ce before the Eleventh World

Nether System

After the Eleventh World, only Warden Lou Wuye and Prisoner Yun Ming had returned to the Netherworld. The Lord G.o.d who is supposed to be the absolute leader of Nether, Ye Xiajie, and his wife who is known to be the Young Lord of the Mo Family, Hei Anjing, had gone missing together with their systems.

According to what Warden Lou had told his comrade and temporary boss of the Nether System, An Liang, they had caught a runaway criminal recorded on the blacklist of Prisoner's list. This man had broken numerous laws in Vearth and even done taboos against the Divine Laws. Bring the Fallen G.o.d Hei, the former Patriarch of the Hei Clan before Hei Jue and An Liang made the atmosphere in the whole Nether System horrific

Especially the atmosphere between the Grandfather and Grandson, one could see Hei Jue looking fierce at his kneeling grandfather while the former patriarch was emotionless as he stared at his grandson as if he couldn't recognize him at all.

On the other hand, Hei Jue was in a rage as he recalled what Warden Lou and Prisoner Yun had reported just now. This person in front of him had caused a spatial distortion in the last world. Lord G.o.d Ye who had no affinity with s.p.a.ce elements fell into the trap and his cousin, Hei Anjing jumped in to save him.

Hei Anjing's soul is only at the High G.o.d stage while this old man is at Celestial Immortal; the gap in strength is so large that his cousin had no other choice but to use his G.o.d Form to drag his husband to safety with him. He tried the out-of-control s.p.a.ce distortion and had to force the world to hop in the nearest star.

Because of this, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie entered an unknown world. It was different from the worlds where Lord G.o.d Ye's fragments are supposed to be. Currently, there is no news about the couple.

At the throne room, Hei Jue glares at his grandfather whose hands and feet were bound by Nether Rings, kneeling before them. Standing beside Hei Jue is. His husband, An Liang, whose face isn't looking good. No one knows if it is due to worry or anger, but An Liang's face pales as he sees Hei Mo in front of him. Especially when he met those silver eyes which are similar to his wife. He couldn't help but avoid his gaze as if holding back something. Because he knew this is the man that made the life of his wife miserable. He couldn't help by hating him as well.

Hei Jue spoke, "I cannot believe you are alive, grandfather."

"... Is that so?" replied Hei Mo as he once again glanced at An Liang before averting his eyes and pretending to ignore everything.

Seeing this kind of att.i.tude, Hei Jue's emotions turned fiercer, and disappointment flashed within his eyes. Like always he decided to ignore his grandfather as before. He is glaring at his elder when he hears Lan She's voice in his head. It was a message using divine consciousness and only the receiver is able to hear it.

{Patriarch Hei, can you hear me? I will a.s.sume that you. We will now report to you what really happened?} said Chu Mo.

Hei Jue responded, {The truth you say? Why are you reporting it this way? Is it something you can't tell An Liang?}

{My sorry, Patriarch Hei. But this is to ensure that things would go as planned. Forgive me for saying this but there is a Traitor in the Clan. The possibility that it might be your husband is there. It cannot be you though because we know you had vowed loyalty to the Mo Clan and would never plan to harm him in any way. I hope you understand.} explained Lan She.

Even though Hei Jue looks calm yet angry on the outside, one couldn't understand what he is definitely feeling inside. He hates traitors the most. Because these kinds of people are the ones that killed his father, Hei Siyan. If his husband, An Liang, becomes a traitor as suspected, Hei Jue didn't know how he should treat him afterward.

{Are you sure there is a traitor?} asked Hei Jue.

Chu Mo replied, {Yes. We are sure. Because in the last world Ye Mo appeared in flesh. He almost killed Venerable Young Lord Hei.}

Hearing this Hei Jue felt the rage in his heart even fiercer. This kind of situation where Ye Mo, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d would come over in the last world without fear can only mean one thing. Someone told him that Hei Anjing is weakened to the point that he couldn't defend himself properly unlike the other worlds. But in the Nether System, the only ones who knew about this fact are Ye Xiajie who was world hopping with Hei Anjing, An Liang, and himself who are tasked to protect the Nether System as well as the Mo Family.

The Mo family is forbidden to get involved in these trials and so they couldn't stay too long in the Nether System. An Liang and he are too weak to even get involved in the trial so they were commanded to protect the Nether System while the rulers are not around. Then it is only tight for Chu Mo and Lan She to think that either he or An Liang is the traitor.

But everyone in Vearth knew that the current Hei Clan he leads vows to be loyal to the Mo Family. It is an oath that involves their life with the Mo Family and it was because of this that even the Supreme Ruler Mo Baojun is trusting him. This is a truth well known by everyone.

Feeling as if his heart was hollow, Hei Jue could only say, {Report everything to me without hiding a single detail}

{Affirmative.}

Lan She and Chu Mo reported everything that had happened in the last world. This includes the couple, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie, falling into some dimension through a s.p.a.ce portal, about the appearance of Ye Mo's real body as well as the immortality blessing Hei Anjing had given to his grandfather, Hei Mo. They've also said that Hei Mo is supposed to be dead and was killed by Ye Mo when he protected Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie from Ye Mo. It was only thanks to the blessing from the G.o.d of Destruction that he came back to life.

Not only that but they've also been informed that in the Nether System, there is a traitor. This traitor is the reason why Lord Hei and Lord G.o.d Ye were found by the destroyers sent by Ye Mo multiple times. Thanks to this the couple was always in danger regardless of whatever world they went into.

The traitor could only be someone from the Nether System and this person has quite a high standing. The one who told Lan She and Chu Mo about this traitor is Hei Mo. Even though Hei Mo was imprisoned in Abyssal World inside that dimensional mansion from before, he could still know a few things that are happening in Vearth. He just needed to gaze a long distance in a certain direction and his divine soul would be able to roam around to see and hear things that were happening in that place.

Because he is worried about Hei Anjing, he always watches the Netherworld where the Nether System exists. He also watches the place where Ye Mo is hiding and knows of the plans he was planning on doing. Sadly, he could only see or hear, aside from that he couldn't do anything but watch as he was imprisoned in that certain s.p.a.ce unable to move. But because of this, he knew almost everything in this world.

Hei Jue who just heard the details from Chu Mo and Lan She suddenly frowned with hints of bewilderment on his face. He looked at Hei Mo with an indescribable expression on his face.

"Make him stand," ordered Hei Jue.

Chu Mo carefully helped Hei Mo who was kneeling to stand up. This time Hei Mo saw his eldest grandson's face painted with expressions of disbelief and disdain. He obviously did not believe what he had heard and wanted to check for himself. Staring at Hei Mo's forehead, Hei Jue's face was stunned, there is indeed a mark of a snowflake hidden on his forehead. The white shade had diminished greatly as it was just recently used.

Knowing what Hei Jue wanted to see, Hei Mo showed the imprint of his youngest grandson which he doesn't know when was given to him. He was already shocked when he woke up from his death. He was sure that he had already died once as he had met his wife in that place, in the Reincarnation Pool where most dead souls enter to begin a new life.

It was just that before he could enter the pool he was forbidden to go further and was told to come back where he came from. When he opened his eyes the original scenery of the broken dimensional s.p.a.ce where he used to be imprisoned. Not only did the large wound on his stomach disappear he felt no other thing other than lingering pain which is superficial pain as those youngsters had said.

He already knew that the Mo Clan have a special physique of immortality but this is the first time he heard it could be used as a blessing with limited duration. He had checked how long his mortality would last and he was shocked to hear that he was given invincibility for 100 years. In these 100 years, no one can kill him. This truth rendered him speechless. This immortality was the one he had been dreaming of all this time because of it he doesn't control his greed. He wanted everything that could be exchanged for an immortal physique in this way he would be able to go to the world of the dead and try to bring his wife back to life.

But now he had given up his greed and accepted his love for the family. What he wanted the most was gifted to him and it was from the youngest grandson he used to see only as a tool for power. In the end, after getting the love he had lost, he was given even more things he never dreamt of receiving.

Hei Jue's thoughts, 'It's Jing'er's soul imprint. If he really hates this man he would never give him his blessing. It means he likes this old b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But why? Isn't this one of the people that caused the former G.o.d of Void's first death?'

Hei Jue suddenly stopped talking as he looked menacing while glaring at the smooth forehead of Old Man Hei Mo. The imprint lasted to be present only for a while. This is to let Hei Jue see it but keep it hidden from the other people. Hei Mo wanted to use this as his trump card. As long as there are fewer people who knew that he was bestowed with the blessing of immortality, the better his chances of winning in a fight but catching his opponent off guard.

As expected An Liang who didn't see anything was looking at his wife's face with a confused expression on his face.

"Sweetheart, is there something wrong?" asked An Liang.

Hei Jue reacted, "Nothing. I was thinking of something and made my thoughts wander for a moment."

"What should we do with this... elder?" asked An Liang.

Hei Jue narrowed his eyes and stared somewhere as if thinking something serious in his mind. Only he knows how nervous he is deep inside his heart. He didn't want his husband to notice something weird about him. especially when An Liang is suspected as one of the traitors hidden in the Nether System.

"For now-imprisoned him in the deepest layer of Nether h.e.l.l. Give him an isolation cell and live there on his own for a bit. Warden Lou, you bring him there with Yun Ming. I will need to tell Uncle Sian about him and tell him about what happened to Jing'er and that r.e.t.a.r.d. Stay here and watch over the Nether System, dear. I will be back soon." said Hei Jue.

An Liang smiled at him and said, "Don't worry about the Netherworld. I can at least handle things here. I'm more worried that we have lost our connection to Xiao Ye and Xiao An."

"Are you really worried?" asked Hei Jue.

An Liang was taken aback for a bit and couldn't understand his wife's words for a moment. "What do you mean, Sweetheart?"

Hei Jue paused for a moment and stared at his husband before saying, "I mean there is no way those two wouldn't be okay. One is the G.o.d of Destruction and the other one is the Supreme G.o.d of Void. I am more worried about whether whatever world they had fallen into would end in ruin or be completely destroyed? If that happens then... there would be another mountain of paper to work in. We had just finished that one world that r.e.t.a.r.ded Big Boss of this Nether System had destroyed once."

Just thinking of another small mountain of paper works An Liang's face turned pale just thinking about it. Ever since Ye Xiajie had destroyed that one world that killed his wife once, they needed to make a report about it to the G.o.d System which the Ruler G.o.ds made. This is to ensure the records of all worlds are on track and updated.

"D-Don't make me remember that?" said An Liang who now feels dizzy just looking at words.

Once a world is destroyed, one must pa.s.s a report about it. Only when the reason for its destruction is approved by the Headquarters that the reports would stop but until then numerous reports of reason and evidence must be doc.u.mented until it was approved,
