Chapter 1442 20.6 First Black Star - Young Hunter
Borderland. Xiejing Province.
The province of Xiejing is one of the poorest regions in the mortal lands. It can be found at the outskirts of the mainland's territory and even officials wouldn't be interested in it. It is also the region with the least interaction with the mainland and can even be considered a shrubs compared to the main capital under the rule of the Human Emperor.
Xiejing Province is made up of small villages made by refugees and each has a village leader to stabilize each place.
Among these Villages, Anjia Village is considered the poorest, as it is surrounded with mountains and has only a few lands for farming. There are more hunters in this area and those who live there have been hunting since they were young. The God of Void woke up in the body of the youngest hunter in Anjia Village, yet is also known as the most talented.
Moreover, this man's identity seems to be even more special.
The God of Void woke up feeling pain all over his body. As his soul was housed in this vessel, the immortality his wife gave him instantly kicked in. All his wounds disappeared and even his scars, regardless whether it were new or old, disappeared. His skin instantly turned smooth and flawless, even though the pain and heaviness in his mortal body had disappeared.
Zhi Yue, who had witnessed this scene, was speechless. After all, he had seen Lord Hei's immortality a few times. But that level of immortality was completely different from what he remembered. At the very least, the blood that flows would return in the body under his gaze, but it wouldn't instantly heal like the God of Void.
Though it's understandable that Lord Hei's immortality was suppressed in the lower worlds, what is happening with the God of Void is simply unbelievable.
Ye Xiajie also felt his regeneration had surpassed his original healing capabilities. He sliced his hand and saw that just a few seconds later, another one regenerated almost instantly. He frowned at this scene.
On the other hand, System Yue exclaimed. [What kind of regeneration is this!?]? It's even more powerful than God's regeneration.]
"This is the Immortality the Mo Family possessed. This time I didn't borrow Jing'er's immortality but instead was given it," Ye Xiajie explained.
Stunned. Zhi Yue in his avatar form, shook. Now a small moon was trembling afloat in air, which could only be seen by the God of Void.
[Given? Then this is the full capability of the Mo Clan's Immortality!? This is so amazing! Before, one must at least experience death before the immortality borrowed from Lord Hei would activate, but now it's active 24/7!] said System Yue, who exclaimed at how heavenly defying this immortal physique is.
As if thinking of something, the God of Void immediately made a blade knife gesture with his hand and instantly slit his throat, fountain of blood spurting from his neck, but just before Zhi Yue can scream in shock. This wound instantly closed and everything seemed to return to normal.
What terrified System Yue was that instead of his boss looking pale from lack of blood, he looked rosy as if he were healthy right from the beginning to the end.
A helpless smile appeared on the God of Void's face and he mumbled, "My wife is a worrywart. Now I can't even die even if I wanted to."
System Yue retorted after hearing his boss mumble, [Isn't that because the Lord is so careless with his life.]
After receiving a death glare from his boss, Zhi Yue immediately shut up and just passed the world plot to his short-tempered boss, especially when his wife is not around.
[World Plot: This is a world divided into two realms, the mortal land and the cultivator land.]. The mortal land is ruled by the Human Emperor. An existence who is said to stand above the mortals even if he doesn't cultivate. Just the purple qi in him, which signifies the luck of his race, was enough to make him even stronger than these beings who called themselves cultivators.
Cultivators are beings who train to reach immortality. They are those who cultivate to reach ascension and become gods. These two lands never got along well.
The Cultivators looked down on mortals, while the mortals feel like these people who called themselves cultivators were pretentious. Even though the mortals are weaker than the cultivators, the Human Emperor is stronger than all of the cultivators combined. His strength depends on the existence of the mortals, who had greater numbers than these cultivators.
Unless the cultivators kill all the mortals, which is impossible, they won't be able to defeat the Human Emperor.
But the Human Emperor is like all other mortals; he can only live for 100 years, while cultivators can leave for a very long time unless their cultivation reached a stagnation stage and they used up all their qi to extend their lives. Plus, the purple qi of the Human Emperor can be passed to anyone as long as they are mortal.
It was said that the former Human Emperor before the current one is a prodigal ruler. He brought in countless consorts and concubines into his harem, giving his male empress a cold shoulder. The Male Empress is the former great general who helped him gain his throne and was locked up in the cold palace as if he were a forgotten and used tool that the emperor couldn't remember.
The Human Emperor at that time wasn't a good ruler. Thus, a rebellion led by the current Human Emperor had happened. They said that the former emperor was killed, but there are also rumors that the former emperor had escaped. As for the current human emperor, he used to be a great general and the male emperor at that time.
In the end, he couldn't watch his husband destroy the mortals, which led to him doing this rebellion and in the end, he won and is now the current Human Emperor of the era and also the strongest. No one knows how he received the purple qi from the husband who decided to pull down his throne. It is also because of this event that there are many controversies about him sitting on the throne.
[Milord's current vessel is Ye Xiajie, but in this village he is known as Wang Xiajie. He is the former emperor whose throne was stolen by his own wife. He only successfully escaped by using the teleportation talisman his mother gave to him before he died. It seems his mother, who was treated as a commoner queen in the imperial palace, had some connection with the cultivators.
As he was teleported, he fell off the cliff and lost his memories. He was picked up by the old couple, who he now called Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan. It was just when his stolen purple qi had once again awakened that he was attacked by a blind bear and died. [Milord had taken his body after his death.]
The God of Void sat up on the wooden bed and checked his body. With a wave of his hands, all the blood traces inside the clinic were burned down by his black flames. He also changed his clothes and removed this weird t-shirt made of rough cloth.
He pulled a satin-made pair of pants and black shirt from his inventory and placed an illusion spell on him, which allowed people to see that he was still badly injured.
"What is this mortal's wish?" asked Ye Xiajie.
System Yue said, [None. After all, when he died, his memories didn't return and he was actually quite happy with his new life as a hunter. He is just unlucky that he died against that Blind Bear. So, the Lord is actually free from responsibilities in this world.]
The God of Void spoke, "That is better. I need to focus on finding my wife's soul fragment as well as the location of my dear cousin. Where is Yang?"
[A'Yang, he... followed the one who fell on the mainland. That location is the largest and he wanted to find information about Ye Yan and Hei Suya.] System Yue answered.
Ye Xiajie said, "He did well with that decision, but why did you choose to stay?"
[Milord, Lord Hei told me to look after you. I can't leave your side in this world this time!]
Sigh~
"Forget it. You should try finding the traces of Lou Wuye and Yun Ming, especially the one without system support between the two. Also gather all necessary information about this world that is connected to this vessel. Maybe among those people who live by his side is my wife's reincarnation, especially investigating that male ex-wife of his," Ye Xiajie said.
System Yue responded, [As you wish, Milord!]

Mainland's Imperial Palace. Underground Dungeon.
In the dark prison, which was made of thick stone and almost devoid of light, a man and a woman were chained and jailed. If one looked closely, the whole prison these two were in was surrounded by restrictive formation, which weakened the one imprisoned inside. There are also countless talismans pasted in the stone walls, which burn every hour and will be replaced by a warden.
It was at this time that the talisman inside the prison had completely burned up, turning into a pile of ashes. The sound of the metal door openly resounds in the underground area they were in, and a warden who seems to be a cultivator of this world enters inside.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He didn't even look at the two who were chained inside the jail and headed to the location where a talisman is supposed to be stuck, placing a new one.
Normally, this warden would ignore the man and woman inside the cell, but recalled the similar phenomenon that appeared this morning, which caused too much ruckus beyond this underground prison.
The warden said, "Rejoice! You might have another member in this cell soon. That golden sky phenomenon when you arrived in this world had happened again. This time it's more gorgeous than when the two of you arrive. The only difference is that whoever caused that change in the sky didn't choose to appear before the Emperor. But a decree was already sent to hunt them down.
If they get caught, then you will have a new friend with you."
The mortal warden was still being sarcastic and didn't notice the terrified expression that appeared on the faces of the two people inside the cell. The moment they heard that another being, possibly a god like them, was descending into this world, they suddenly had a bad premonition at heart.
CLANG!
The male prisoner exclaimed with fear imprinted on his face, "What did you just say?! Someone descended in this world again? Have you seen them? How many are there?"
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly... hah? Don't tell me you know them?" the warden asked as he noticed the huge change in the man before him.
This handsome man with crimson eyes usually looked calm, except for that moment when their human emperor beat them up. For them to have such a big change upon hearing the news he brought, he had a feeling that these two might know who had come over to their world this time.
With the same terrified face, "Shut up! Answer his questions!" shouted the female prisoner.
The warden was stunned for a moment as he frowned and looked at the two prisoners with sudden urgency flashing within their eyes.
He responded, "Hmp! Fine, I will answer. No one saw them as they were too far above. Not even a cultivator dares to approach as their descend seems to be much more magnificent than your arrival. As for how many, people said they saw two lights falling from the sky while the others said it was three, and some even said they only saw one. There is no exact number.
One thing for sure is that one of them fell in this place. The Mainland."
After receiving an answer, the male and female prisoners were stunned and no longer looked interested in the warden. Seeing this, the warden snorted and replaced all the talismans needed in the cell. After completing his duty, he takes his leave, locking up the two special prisoners inside their personal jail.
What the warden didn't know was that after he left, these two prisoners had plans to escape this place. These two prisoners are none other than Ye Yan and Hei Suya.
Hei Suya looked at her lover and asked, "What do you think, Brother Yan? Do you think it's them?"
"Possible. You've seen the appearance of the Human Emperor, right?" said Ye Yan.
On Hei Suya's forehead, creases appeared and he said, "Doesn't he just look like him? I had a feeling that it wasn't that person?"
"No one knows the truth. But staying here is no longer possible; we should escape," Ye Yan said.
Hei Suya pouted, "How long are we going to run? Why wouldn't that person who sent us here help us? We even got imprisoned by those mortals! How humiliating!"
"Don't shout. It's too loud in this kind of enclosed space. Let me heal my wound first, and then we will leave this place. You should prepare to use teleportation at least three times; there is no way that a human emperor would let us escape so easily," Ye Yan said.
