942 15.04 Vearth – Nether System: Family and Acceptance

His little darling’s last hope was his promise to return after he finished helping his brother. To come back to his side and accompany him in that darkness and maybe a bit of warmth from his hugs which his Jing’er loves. Which in the end, he failed to fulfill.

Ye Xiajie can only watch the point of view of the God of End in his memory. On the day the Vearth was completed and the same day he decided not to return to the Abyss was also the day his Jing’er completely lost it. Not only his heart but also his mind broke. He completely lost his trust in other people and... He was slowly dying inside.

The God of End had witnessed how his little one had become brokenhearted. He started laughing while crying. Shouting as if he was out of his mind and lost his voice for a few days. Finally, losing his sense of pain in all kinds of forms regardless of whether it is dealt physically or mentally. Jing’er became numbed towards pain.

He finally lost his sanity smiling mischievously for sadness, smiling mischievously for indifference, smiling for rage, and smiling mischievously through loneliness. In the unknown period of time he was imprisoned in the Void, Snow learned everything in it.

The hidden mass soldiers made of darkness. Evil Gods and monsters that lurk within. Anjing had seen them all until the day he finally got what he wanted after being alone in that emptiness for so long. The equal authority in the Abyss. His standing became as important as the original ruler, the God of Void.

Then the scene of the God of End entering the Abyss tells the little one how good he is as a sacrifice. Unfortunately, even he was no longer able to read the little deity. An almost the most natural mischievous smile appears in the corner of this little fairy’s cerise lips. If not because the depths of his silver eyes were cold, anyone would be fooled by his playful nature.

But there is a hidden glint of slyness that no one easily notices but Ye Xiajie found this expression extremely familiar. As if unfolding a hidden truth from within all series of coincidences, Ye Xiajie finally woke up in reality. His whole body was covered in a cold sweat and his face was tainted with tears.

Shen Siwang asked, “How are you feeling, Xia?”

“I’m fine. Brother, let’s finish for today. Let’s go home,” Ye Xiajie said.

.....

Shen Siwang agrees, “Let’s go then.”

On their way home, they bumped into a lot of people and there were old gods and goddesses who recognized Ye Xiajie and politely greeted him. They even saw the God of End who hadn’t completely left and was caught buying a few things in the market. Ye Xiajie failed to hold back his anger which was built up after he got his memories. This time he beat the man with his fist until he was satisfied. Shen Siwang had forcefully dragged his brother away, afraid of getting the God of End killed by Ye Xiajie.

The brothers head back home to the mansion of the Mo Family. In reality, they are live-in son-in-laws of the Mo Clan. They live with their wives’ family. The Ye Family live nearby and the Shen Family doesn’t exist as Shen Siwang had never been reincarnated like his brother.

Father Mo and Mother Mo were watching movies with Mo Baojun. The only daughter of the Mo Family, Mo Yaoyun and her husband, Mo Zhinan. Zhinan used to be Mo Baojun’s system. After marrying Mo Yaoyun, he followed her name and was named Mo. As a System unless their creator gave them a name they would collectively be called as System and numbered name.

In the kitchen, Mo Yue and Hei Sian were making preparations for dinner with Hei Anjing. The children were sleeping after playing around for hours without rest and were now in Ye Jingxia’s room.

“We’re home!”

Shen Siwang was used to this scene and entered the house as he walked towards his wife and gave him a kiss.

Father Mo smiled and welcomed these two home. Mother Mo was staring at Ye Xiajie as this brat finally went through the front door of their house instead of sneaking in like a thief like before.

“Hm. Welcome Back. Xia finally came through the front door this time.” Father Mo said.

Mother Mo walked towards the frozen Ye Xiajie at the door and pulled him into the house.

“Xiao Jing’er! Your husband is back!” She shouted from the living room to the kitchen.

Hei Anjing peeked his head out the door and looked at his husband who was being pulled by his grandmother to the house. He can feel his husband’s awkwardness but he knew he would get used to it.

“Welcome Home, A’Xia.”

“Um, I’m back, Jing’er.”

Ye Xiajie allowed himself to be pulled by Mother Mo without struggling, afraid of getting kicked out of the house. On the other hand, his brother had long sat beside his wife feeding him grapes he personally peeled himself.

Mo Yaoyun spoke, “Brother Xia don’t look too stiff. You would live here with us for three months, you know.”

“Um. I’m hungry.” Mo Zhinan said. “Welcome, Sir.”

Mo Yaoyun felt her husband was a bit out of it as they just got back home from work. He hasn’t eaten since this morning and had no energy to welcome Ye Xiajie.

“Who are you calling sir? Haha~ honey, are you okay?” Mo Yaoyun said.

Mo Zhinan said, “Eh... Brother? He is Shen-ge’s brother but Xiao Jing’er’s husband. I don’t know if I am older or he is older.”

Pfft! Shen Siwang held back a laugh. Since his brother married his wife’s nephew his standing in his family is a bit weird.

Mo Baojun glanced at Ye Xiajie and returned his eyes to the television before him but didn’t forget to comment, “He is older. Like an old cow eating a tender grass.”

The Tyrant God is intentionally calling Ye Xiajie an old cow. In their family, Hei Anjing is considered as a Junior but in reality his wife is one of the Ancient Gods before his first reincarnation. He is even older than anyone in the Mo Family and can be considered their ancestor.

Ye Xiajie spoke, “It is your husband who is an old cow.”

“Hm~ did you say something, Xia?” Shen Siwang said.

Ye Xiajie fearlessly said, “Old cow.”

The brothers were exchanging sparks between their eyes and looked like they would be at war the next moment only for Hei Anjing’s voice to move Ye Xiajie’s complete attention from his brother to his wife.

Hei Anjing said, “My Love, wake up the children. It’s time for dinner.”

“Yes, Baby.” Ye Xiajie said as he climbed up the stairs to look for the children. He already forgot his stiffness at his arrival in the Mo Family household.

Father Mo and the rest of the family stare at Ye Xiajie until he disappears in the upper floors of their home then look at one another.

Mother Mo sighed, “Finally, he is back. Xiao Jing’er had been so sad ever since he died that day. Our Jing’er was just a baby when Xiaxia died the first time.”

“Brother Shen even had no other choice but to seal A’Jing’s memories of that day.” Mo Yaoyun said.

Mo Zhinan spoke, “He is too young. There is no other choice.”

“After the Trials of Resurrection, they should be able to live happily and carefree. It’s not too late for them to be happy as a family.” Father Mo said.

Shen Siwang said, “There is another problem. The World Eater. After Ye Mo was killed by Xia, we found out it was him who had hidden an egg in it. He had been feeding that thing with lower worlds and accidentally bumps Xia and Xiao Jing’er at the other worlds making him want to drag down Xia during the trial because of this, Xiao Jing’er had to make much more sacrifices than expected.”

“Now that we know that the prophecy is real and we already know the source... we should be able to prevent its growth further.” Mo Baojun said.

Shen Siwang spoke, “Xia said he had killed a part of it in one of the worlds using the domain of Xiao Jing’er. Ordinary elements are not capable of harming the World Eater. Even physical strength was half useful. Special elements seem to be effective. So Light and Darkness had an effect. But not the main elements: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth.”

“How about Ice, Thunder, Wood?” Mo Zhinan. historical

Mo Baojun said, “A bit effective. But it’s an average effect. It wouldn’t be useful to focus on these elements. Special types like Star Energy, Moon Energy, Cosmos... Destruction and Chaos Energy are the most effective.”

“That race is truly a pain. That’s why we decided to make it extinct. Who would have thought someone would hide an egg and even nurture it? We need to ask the Ancient Gods about it. But...” Shen Siwang said and hesitated to complete his word. “Asking aid to the God of Origin shouldn’t be a problem but... Xia just beat up the God of End. I don’t think he would tell us a thing.”

“No worries. Beat him up some more until he croaks.” Mo Baojun said. It seems his violence is not much different from the God of Void. That’s why they don’t get along as two negatives would reject each other.

The first big family dinner after Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie’s return had been achieved today. The long table in the Dining room was small but the whole family had no problems eating there together. The children were happily eating their food and even feeding their older brother. It was such a carefree and heartwarming scene. How everyone wishes this peace to last forever.

The news about the return of the Sovereign Ruler of the Netherworld had spread in Vearth. Actually, when the day the heaven’s was covered in sudden darkness the old gods and goddesses knew that the God of Darkness and Void had returned. But no one from the Upper Echelons had declared about Ye Xiajie’s return. This is because the Ruler chooses to not show himself. He was busy staying at home with his family, going out for family outings and so on.

For the three months, Ye Xiajie and Hei Anjing were allowed to stay in Vearth, their family decided to spend most of it together. Even Mo Baojun and Shen Siwang didn’t go to work for these few months and accompany the family. Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie would sometimes bring their children around, making those who recognized Ye Jingxia to notice his dad, Hei Anjing and his father, Ye Xiajie.

So during their family outings there would be a lot of Gods bowing and kneeling before their family. No one felt it was weird to revere this family. After all, one is the strongest destroyer of the God System and had a long history of achievements. He is an infamous figure in Vearth and has a lot of fans.

Meanwhile, those who recognized Ye Xiajie would still run away as if they were meeting their executioner, a Death God. He is after all the Evilest Old God who is also the alter ego of the God of Light. The history portrays his cruelty and ruthlessness the most. Which is why the Netherworld is considered as Hell in Vearth. As this is a place which would catch any Gods or Goddesses, even Evil God and Demon Gods as long as they broke the laws in Vearth.

If it was in the past, the action of running away from him would leave Ye Xiajie depressed. But things are different now. He is now accompanying his family. Why would he care about strangers? There are those who held back their fear and stole a glance towards Ye Xiajie. In the end, they would be left astonished as they would see him smiling as he held Lord Hei’s hand and carried a cute little baby girl in his arms.

Seeing such gentle expression, they couldn’t help but mutter that he is extremely handsome and not as scary as they thought he was. Slowly, these residents of Vearth starts to accept Ye Xiajie’s existence. An existence at the same level as Lord Shen yet handles the opposite element as he is.
