Chapter 126: 5.28 First Violet Star - The Prisoner and his Warden

Perspective of Shizi.

Shizi who had left the tribe meeting to cool off his head had asked his tribesmen if they had seen the esteemed guests from the Lune Tribe. After pointing out a certain direction Shizi left to look for them. This is the second day the representatives had stayed in the tribe. Yesterday, it was he who personally welcomed them to his territory. Shizi was delighted that this beastman called Sheya had come over to his tribe.

Ever since he last saw this man, Shizi couldn't forget about him. Well, Sheya is supposed to be his prisoner in accordance with his real duties as someone from the Nether System. Though he doesn't need to get involved with his prisoner's tasks, Shizi is able to personally get involved with his prisoner as long it doesn't go against the task of the former. He is only there to observe him like a bystander then the moment Sheya fails his mission, he only needs to bestow his punishment. Failure of the mission means death in the Nether System. Sheya whose real identity is that of a prisoner, he had no other choice but to complete his task.

But thanks to that special authority, Xuebao, who entered this world, most of his prisoners' missions were refreshed to fit the changes in the plot. Originally, Sheya and his mission to play the role of Male leads to the protagonist shou, Tuzi. They were both his destined lovers in this world. But after the special authority destroyed the world plot forcefully removing Meizhou as one of the male leads, he was able to take advantage of this and remove their names as well. This is the real reason why only Warrior Lang and Priest Apprentice Xiong remain as Tuzi's Male leads.

Shizi's thoughts: 'Sigh~ this is the fault of his lord's soul being reborn in one of the Male Leads in this world. That special authority had to destroy the original plots of each world because of his lord. I'm already shocked enough that the special authority isn't directly destroying the world instead of just the world plots. He is even willing to fool around with his lord and spend countless lifetimes together. This is their fifth world already! What the hell is happening? Are they really together!!?'

It only took a few hundreds of steps for Shizi to find the person he is looking for.

'Found him~'

Shizi approached his target silently but was blocked by an original resident of the world who was called Laohu. A warrior that is supposed to become a Male Lead of that protagonist shou of this world. He glanced at Laohu who showed his surprise through his words and gestures.

"Whoa!! You've surprised me! W-What do you want?"

Then he saw the NPC like character placed his target behind him with a defensive gesture. He slightly frowned a bit.

'What is wrong with this man? He is hiding my prisoner behind him. Must be his duty as one of the representatives.'

Shizi moved his gaze and looked at his prisoner who remained calm and cool headed most of the time. He continues to observe his expression. Sheya's face remained calm as if nothing could cause waves on his expression, but once he looked at his eyes Shizi is able to point out vigilance and calculations with those emerald orbs. He is clearly thinking of something. Then Shizi looked at the young beastmen not far from them and he also frowned seeing their states. He immediately understood the problem but decided to let Sheya open it to him. He is supposed to be a beastman tribe leader with limited knowledge in medicine.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with those children as you looked at them worriedly? You can tell it to me." said Shizi.

Perspective of Sheya.

Sheya looked at the newly arrived man before him. This is a man who was originally a male lead like him before the world plot had been broken. He tried talking to his system guide asking a few inquiry questions. Only this type of question would his system give him a response. He already knew that there are few people in this world which is a special case like him. A world hopper should be the right term.

He had noticed that the world plot had broken on the day Laohu and Xuebao had fought. His doing his regular duties as Sheya that time and his actions were limited to what Sheya allows him too. Only when he heard a system prompt in his head that the world plot had upgrades that he understood.

[Special Authority had descended. A Special Authority had descended! The world plot will now undergo an upgrade. Asking for the host to calm down and continue his duties until the upgrade had been completed.]

Sheya showed surprised when he heard that. Unlike in the first world he entered in his last phase of trials, he now understood who this special authority is. Based on coincidence, he had already entered five worlds including this star with this special authority character. In the first world he had no close interaction with this person and followed the plot. He supposed to be a cannon fodder actor who was destroyed by the protagonist shou due to jealousy. He prevented his death from drug overdose and lay low in the entertainment society until Xia Yang destroyed himself.

He thought he would never meet that special authority after that world.

But unexpectedly in the second world he worked for him as his lawyer. At that time his mission was 'Following the plot but preventing Hei Yu's death' changes to 'Serve the Crowned Prince until the end of his lifespan.' He was shocked that his main mission had suddenly changed. The original Hei Yu is supposed to be killed by the Wu Clan after knowing that he is a spy from the Hei Royal Family. But after this special authority had entered that world his death is no longer applicable and thus his main mission had changed as well.

Following in the third world, he had once again encountered this person. At that time he is just a mob character called Lin Xia. A money obsessed elite lawyer that was destined to die under the knife of people from the underworld society. But once again his mission had changed from preventing his death to serving his young master Meng Anya instead.

In the fourth world he becomes his assistant, working for him keeping his identity as Gui Lan from being known but everyone else aside from him. He is Yun Li in this world. But he secretly sent a hint message to his partner for them to reunite early. What he didn't expect was that when Gui Lan died in that world, Xie Ye would suddenly destroy that world. He never expected that the lover of that special authority is a higher being that is strong enough to dismantle an A class world.

For the first time in his hundreds of years of experience in world hopping to witness a world destruction at such close distance. He saw the sky fragmented like a broken mirror. The land fissure and crumbles like a fragile sand castle. It was a magnificent and terrifying sight. Before he got affected by the destruction of the world someone grabbed him and forcefully pulled out his soul to leave the world.

He saw the person who pulled his soul away. It was his lover in that world, Xu Lun. It was only then that he understood that it was not only him who was entering the world each time. There should be at least three other people entering the world with him or it might just be him getting pulled in those worlds together with the rest. He doesn't know and has no authority to ask. After all he is nothing but a criminal. A prisoner undergoing the punishment from the Nether System.

In this fifth world he had already recognized the vessel of the special authority. It was the young leader of the Lune Tribe, Xuebao. Which means that the higher being in this world is Xuebao's lover which is Meizhou. After entering the fifth world with them, he had already known that these two are a shameless couple, who don't care about their surroundings. They've been like this even in the past few worlds.

But he hadn't found that man who saved him from the last world. In the beginning he thought it was Tuzi. But that silly rabbit is obviously a perverted shou with few loose and missing screws in the head, it is impossible for him to be that man. Only when Xuebao had informed him that his destined lover was someone from the enemy tribe that Xuebao had understood why he was chosen as a representative whose task was to monitor the Soleil Tribe from within.

He didn't notice it when they first met. After meeting him the second time close up, only then Sheya recognized that man who saved him from the last world. In this world he is called Shizi. The tribe leader of Soleil Tribe. There tribe's enemy boss.

But obviously the world plot had deviated once again because of the presence of the special authority. The world plot which originally focuses on the love adventure of the fudanshi Tuzi, it turns into a world saving type plot instead. Now his mission is still to give support to the special authority. His task is to save as many lives as possible using his ability as the tribe doctor.

Upon hearing Shizi's question, he knows that this man is trying to help him complete his task indirectly as always.

Sheya replied to Shizi's question from before.

"There is a problem but are you willing to listen as this tribe's leader? This is a problem with regard to the health of your tribesmen. Are you going to believe in my words?" asked Sheya

Then he saw this man before him smiled slightly and the expression conveys the words of 'Who will believe you if it's not me' face.

"Tell me. I am willing to listen to your words." said Shizi as he looked at him fearless as before.

Author's Note:

Prisoner's Trial Phases:

First Phase - In this stage the prisoner had no mission or task to complete. His original memories is taken from him. He had nothing at all. The prisoner had to suffer in five hundred worlds living in the vessels who undergone hellish sufferings like betrayals, getting killed in gruesome ways and etc. The deaths of the prisoner in this phase can be called inhumane. He might get dismembered, gangrape, suffered thousand cuts, tortured, beheaded, hanged to death, mutilated and all kinds of gore endings. It is a death cycle of 500 worlds.

This phase only had two endings. Either the prisoner's soul had persevered and survive which will permit him to advance in the second phase of punishment, or fail by going mad and crazy, destroying his own soul.

Second Phase - The prisoner in this stage already met the requirements to know his identity as a prisoner. He was given a guide system who would sent him his mission. This is a stage for accumulation good karma. The prisoner is unable to change his ending whether his suffering or unwarranted death but he could take actions to change the destinies of those around him. Whether it is his family or friends in that world even a mere stranger. He must change someone fate into a good ending to receive a good karma at every completion. Of course he still have no special advantages. His only way to continue living is complete him mission. He must undergone 500 worlds and save millions to complete this phase.

Final Phase - This is the last trial for the prisoner to clear is name. At this stage the prisoner could keep the memories he will experience in this world to the next one. The same thing goes he must complete his missions and failure means death. It just that this time his mission is to change the destiny the vessel he will enter. He must avoid the death route of the original fate of his vessel to complete his task. At every clearance of the world the prisoner would be able to unlocked 5-10 % of his memories. The percentage is in accordance to the class of the world he completed. the higher tier the world the prisoner completed the more of his original memories would return.

Once he completed this phase and got back his memories he could make a choice.

Whether he still wishes to perish, enter reincarnation and become a new person or work for Nether System as an employee.

Difference between an Executioner and a Warden?

A Warden is a special position in Nether System. This is a title which only those who directly serves the Lord God of Nether System possessed. A warden's job is protect the Nether System. They are the overseer of all prisoners under the Nether System. This people rarely leaves the system. But there are some cases that the warden was given duties to look after special prisoners who had possibilities of repentance. The look after prisoners who completed at least the second phase of their trials. They will oversee the final phase for that prisoner.

Note: Most prisoners couldn't even move pass the first phase and some failed the second phase. Prisoners who can enter the last phase of trail is rare. Mostly one or two for every millennium.

On the other hand, an Executioner only had one job that is to eliminate the error. They could either work for the God System or the Nether System. Executioners from the God System has strict requirements to become one. First your reputation is devoid of criminal record. Second your cultivation must be of a Godking and above. This is because most of their enemies were Fallen Gods who uses illegal and forbidden means to get stronger. They have to thoroughly eliminate their target for mission completion.

Currently the strongest Executioner in God System is the God of Destruction. It is said that before he become the rank 1 executioner he had destroyed an SSS World to completely erase a headquarters of those Fallen Gods. Normally a God with not care about the original residents of the worlds they've entered well unless that world is under their domain. But that SSS World the God of Destruction had destroyed is someone else domain. The owner of that world, a Demonic God, was killed by the organization of the Fallen God. It just so happens that this owner had some relationship with the God of Destruction. In his anger the God of Destruction had dismantled that SSS World to kill all those Fallen God and to collect the fragmented souls wisps the original owner of that world. As for what happens after no one knows.

Zhi Yue despite being an executioner works for the Nether System specifically under An Liang. This is because before Yue passed the test of becoming an executioner he is originally someone who works for the Nether System.

Zhi Yue is ranked 13th in Executioner List of God System as well as an employee from the Nether System.
